Snow Halts Other AAT Flights Brings Back
 Three from Mine

Taking off from Gastineau Chan nel yesterday morning at o'clock, Pilot Sheldon Simmons. with Bud Bedding as flight mechanic, flew the Alaska Air Transport Lockheed Vega seaplane to the mouth or the Taku River with freight for the Polaris-Taku Mine and Mrs. James Lindegard for Tulsequah.
 At the river mouth the plane was met by three dog teams. one from Mary Joyce's Twin Glacier Lodge, one from the mine under D. c. Sharpstone, and MT. Lindegard with his from Tulsequah.
 After transferring the supplies and his passenger to the dog sleds, Simmons took aboard three pas sengers for Juneau from the mine, including Mine Doctor R. S. Words worth, who has been relieved and is on his way back to Vancouver, B. c. With his new load aboard, Simmons flew up the river to Miss Joyce's lodge, where he circled Pilot L. F. Barr's stranded plane to make sure that all was all right, then headed back to Juneau. t
 The other two passengers coming to Juneau from the mine with Sim- mons yesterday were: Ward McAl- lister, who is bound for White Pass, and w. N. Mcdonald, who is en- route to Mayo, Y. T.
 Simmons brought the Nugget back into Juneau a few minutes after 10 o'clock yesterday morning, an d shortly afterward snow began to fall, causing him to postpone pro- posed flights to Petersburg and Sit- ka, and holding him on the ground the remainder of Sunday and all of today. z

CITY CAFE TRIO DEFEAT ARCTIC

Mura Leads Cooks in Tri- umph at Brunswick
 Californians Win

Rallying from it's defeat at the hands of the Green House team, the City Cafe trio took decisive win over the Arctic Beer Parlor in the first of the two Commercial League bowling matches at the Brunswick last Saturday evening.
 George Mura led the City Cafe men with a 564 total that included games of POP and 2O4 and proved to be the high mark of the night. But Mura was forced to yield to his teammate T. Magsino in the single game division, Magsino rolling a game of POS.
 In the, other match, the California Grocerymen proved themselves su- perior to the Brunswick team by more than a hundred points.
 Commercial League pin matches to night oppose the Sanitary Groc- cry and Alt Heidelberg teams at 7:30, and the Rainier Beer and California Grocery teams at 8:30 o'clock.

Sport 
-Bs PAP,

Those .ungallant gentlemen wht label Patty Berg a morning flory because the Minneapolis Miss wilt ed in the big tests last year, aftel bursting forth in such golfing glory in 1935, had better prepare to eat their words. Patty is on her way back-with a vengeance.
 The sturdy little redhead has found her game. Her card in the recent Augusta women's title-hold- CTS tournament was 80-87 -73-240 It won first prize for Patty. Her final round was six under par. Patty has recovered the touch that carried her into the fina! round of the 1885 women's national tournament where she lost to Mrs Glenna Collett Ware. With added experience Patty now is certain tc be dangerous.
 She Didn't Know Why It would be difficult to explain Patty's failure. The little lady mere ly shrugged her shoulders when asked about it. She was hitting the ball well, but somehow luck was all bad. You've got to get your share of the breaks to win consistently in any sport. That is doubly true in golf.
 It was just Patty's luck to meet Mrs. Opal Hill in the women's national at a time when the Kansas City matron was burning up the fairways. Patty played good golf but good golf was not enough to match the brand Mrs. Hill was play ing. Patty was eliminated
 Experience Will Tell
 In the 1886 British women's cham pionship Patty went out in the sec ond round. She lost her Curtis Cup match Those losses can be attri- buted to severe cases of nerves which quite naturally could over power one so young and inexper- fenced. Another time, and Patty will have the benefit of her exper- fence. Then the result is likely to be different.
 Lost in the excitement over Patty Berg's amazing round was the ex- cellence performance of the Allan ta schoolgirl, Dorothy Kirby. whc finished second, only three strokes behind the Minneapolis Miss.
 The Atlanta girl has been threat ening to make trouble for the femi- nine stars for the past year or two. Her score in the titleholders' tour nament indicates she is ready. It was no mean feat to outscore such established stars as Helen (Billy) Hickss former national champion now in the pro ranks, Kathryn Hem- hill, Jean Bauer, and the redoubt- able Babe Didrickson.

Nobody did," Gerald answered.
We'll tell me about the other
school +. what did they expel you for
there?"
"Oh, that was different ". You see,
there was a preacher who used to
visit us regularly and he always used
to pray something about the weather
- if there was drought he'd pray
for rain, and if there were floods he'd
pray for the rain to stop, and so on.
Seemed to me he just did it as a
matter of course - so | thought it
would be fun to find out if he'd really
be surprised to have prayer answered
right away. There was a sort of
trap door in the chapel roof just over
the pulpit, and one Sunday during
the summer term, after there'd been
no rain for a month, guessed he'd
start praying for it, and he did :. so
| just opened the trap door and
tippled bucket of water over him.
/ thought he might think | was
God. -"
When Chips and Gerald reached
the hotel, the first glimmer of dawn
lay over the mountain horizon. Rem
shaw was pacing up and down in his
room, perplexed, alarmed, and - as
soon as he saw Gerald = in furious
rage. Chips tried, and eventually was
able to pacify him somewhat. They all
breakfasted together few hours later.
Gerald, very tired and subdued,
half doing over ham and eggs.
Renshaw was still - and perhaps
not without reason - in a grumbling
mood.
I'm damned if l know what to do
with him." he said, glancing distaste-

He wouldn't understand. ="
And do you think do?"
Il don't know. Somehow think
you do. in way. There's some
thing about you that makes it easy
for me to tell you things. Do you
know what mean?"
On the way down the mountain
Chips talked to Gerald quite lot, and
Gerald. thus encouraged, gave his own
versions of the escapades that had led
to his expulsion from two schools.
"You see, MIR. Chipping . it was
line from one of Browning's poems
I'm like that about poetry, you
know-a line gets hold of me some
times i can't help it sort of
makes me do things - crazy things

being a wild man but | didn't

up in blanket and blacked my face
and climbed in through the Matrons
window Of course, she wasn't
exactly girl, but she was asleep,
anyway oh. she was asleep all right

watching her . and my goodness,

whether the boy heard his words or
not. IF only schoolmasters we're any
use I'd try to send him to another
place, but they won't have him,
y'know, when they find out he's been
sacked twice already. Damned lazy
fellows, schoolmasters : take your
money and then say the jobs too
hard for them. After all. that's what
they're paid for, to deal with boys -
even with bad boys - why do they
shirk it? j tell you. I've no patience
with schoolmasters = too easy life,
too many holidays = they don't know
what real work is What's your
opinion, Chipping"
Chips smiled. Perhaps it's preju-
diced one, Mr.. Renshaw," he an
swered. You see, | am school
master"
What? | say. :. didn't mean. :"
"Oh. not your fault - I'm not Of

DO you really mean it?"
Yes"
We'll, I'm sure it's very generous
of you :"
Not at all It's just that - as you
say = schoolmasters oughtn't shirk
their Jobs"
AT this point. Gerald looked up from
his doing and Renshaw turned to
him. Gerald = did you hear that?
Mr.. Chipping is schoolmaster
how would you like to 20 to his
school?"
Gerald stared at Chips and Chips
looked at Gerald and they both began
to smile. Then Gerald said: "Whot?

The apartment house janitor, curl
GUS neighbors and plainclothes man
sent from police headquarters opened
the Howard Werner door. Mrs. Werner
lay in the dining room, her head
crushed in against one of the heavy
andirons. Her husbands breakfast was
served but untouched. The women
began whispering at once of Mrs.
Werner's fainting spells, but the police
man was cagy. What about that hus-
band of hers? He wasn't accounted for
yet. He'd have to have a darn good
alibi. And where was that telephone?
The janitor answered that question
for him and the little procession
trooped upstairs When he opened the
door of Howard Werner's bedroom
even the phlegmatic face of the officer
showed surprise.
The telephone receiver dangled off
its hook. Half on the bed, half off, the
professor lay in curious huddle, his
eyes staring at them wildly - but he
did not speak
The last groans the operator had
heard were not feigned. The unaccus-

he had assigned himself had been too

For the sad truth is that at least
80 per cent of our 10000 annual
forest fires are man-made by fatal
fOOlishness" in one form or another.
If you love the woods and have any
concern for your own security this
fall, there are several simple precau-
tions you should observe.
First of all, as tourists, don't toss
live cigarette butts out of moving
automobiles along the highway.
Secondly. make it a point to report
any unattended fire you may see If
phone is available, the safest thing is
to ask the operator for the local forest
officer and give him the location Too
often passers-by ignore a free fire
because it seems small, forgetting
that they're all small when they start.
That happened in Oregon last year
when numerous people paid no atten-
ton to the brush fire that was smol-
dcring harmlessly for several days
some seven miles outside the town of
Bandon. But a 30-mile breeze sud-
denly sprang up, apd there was a
different story to tell!
AS hikers, campers and sportsmen
in the woods, you can also help might
lily by observing the local forest-fire
regulations. In many places camp and
cook fires are prohibited during dry
spells; even smoking may be forbidden
in hazardous areas, and these regula-
tions are so well enforced that in Los
Angeles County alone last season,
eighty-three arrests made by fire
wardens resulted in eighty-one convic-
tions! Indeed, they actually caught
the young man who. with a careless
cigarette, started the Cold Creek fire
(Which burned $500 acres) and gave
him l20 days in Jail.
Regardless of the ordinances, how
ever, the law of self-preservation
tells you to be sensible in the woods.
Be scrupulously careful with matches
and smoking materials. Don't start
Campfres on ground that hasn't been
cleared of burnable debris for at least
ten feet. Don't dump light trash on
fires that can be blown away, still hot.
Don't start fire against dead tree or
fallen trunk or in strong breeze.
Above all, don't leave any camp or
rubbish fire unattended, even briefly.
When through with a campfire,
don't let it die naturally pour water or
earth over the embers until every last
spark is out No one will ever know
how many millions of dollars have
been wasted by fires, almost out, sud-
denly famed into life by a breeze and
left to wreak their havoc unnoticed.
In short, use your head when you
are in the woods. For, with 80 per cent
of our forest fires started by the gnor-
ant, careless or wanton actions of
human beings, it is thousand times
easier to prevent a catastrophe than
it is to suppress one.

~ forest fire swept into the
little town of Bandon,
y Oregon, leaving l 300 others
homeless.
The year before last fifty bedridden
patients were rushed out of the La
Vina Sanitarium in California, just
two jumps ahead of the So, 500, 900
Las Flores Canyon forest fire which
razed 81 buildings and would have
wiped out Pasadena if the wind hadn't
changed providentially at the last
minute And the year before that, %
men we're cremated and $50 critically
burned in the Dam Canyon brush
fire in Los Angeles County - appar-
emily started by careless smoker.
Most civilians who read the warn
ing signs in the woods are not overly
impressed by the forest-fire hazard
because they are prone to think of it in
terms of tree destruction alone. But
those OF the Forest Service appreciate
too we'll the danger to life and limb
presented by such an inexorable force.
In 1913 somewhere between 600
and 800 lives we're lost in northwestern
Minnesota when fifty or more forest
fires joined forces and swept over
1000 square miles, razing twentyslx
towns. And back in 1875 the famous
Wisconsin holocaust claimed more
than l,5OO lives, emphasizing beyond
doubt that this hazard threatens
more than timber.
With the carelessness of our people
remaining at its customary level, all
we need for serious trouble in any
given spot is two weeks of dry weather
- and bad luck!
