 The Japanese expressed fear the Chinese might strike without warning with huge fleet of Am erican-made tri-motor bombers. To offset this they have ordered the construction of five new air dromes on the outskirts of Tokyo, equipped with fast pursuit ships and the latest anti-aircraft bat teries. The Japs sent twelve de- stroyers and three light cruisers to Shanghai where five hundred marines were landed, and tanks and other mechanized equipment,

Complete Journey New York to Nome Canoe: Are Happy

Jeffrey Pope and Sheldon Taylor Taylor who arrived at Nome this morning in a canoe from New York, talked of their vivid ex- periences of a year and half on the voyage via lakes and rivers from New York City, Ottawa, Northwest Territory and Alaska to Boring Sea and Nome.
 Leaving New York April 36th, they spent the winter at Fort Smith, Y. T. when the freeze-up came. Left there May 18th this year, came down Mackenzie Riv- CT, thence via portage trm Rat River into the Porcupine River, thence over to Fort Yukon on the Yukon River, down the Yukon to St. Michael and along Boring Sea to Nome.
 They traversed the entire dis tance by paddle and sail, no other means of locomotion was used. Their greatest mileage in "A hrs. was l36 miles, made on the Mac kenzie River with fair wind and an eight mile per hour current.
 At one time they spent sixteen days in the canoe, heating water for tea and eating on such grub they had in condensed form. MT. Taylor figured they had arrived at Nome, their destination, six weeks ahead of schedule.
 In 1886 they average 28 miles per day, but had better going in 1887, averaging 40 miles per day. It is estimated they made 500 DOT tages totaling about 300 miles on the trip-otherWise they came the entire distance by water
 They left New York with an Oldtown canoe but changed to a Chestnut Peterborough Canoe at Ottawa, which is the same canoe in which they landed here today. This Spring they left Fort Smith with the breakup of ice in the rivers and lakes, and for more than seven hundred miles had tough going, combating running ice. They fashioned a guard for the bow of the canoe made out of cedar, which allowed them to  push through the thawing ice, thereby escaping long portages overland.
 MT. Taylor's folks live at Hono- lulu where his father is manager of the Honolulu Paper Company. Pope's father is an accountant for the firm of Arthur Young & Com pany, New York. his mother is in Minnesota. Today they are both busy wiring their parents of their safe arrival here.
 Both of these young men are in fine health and condition fol lowing their long trip. They stat

OFFICE OF 4. J. DIMOND Delegate from Alaska
 (By J. J. ECKLES)
Washington, D. C., July 24

Washington, D. C., July 24
 The Senate on July 22nd passed H. R. 1861. the bill introduced by Delegate Dimond for the protec- ton of oyster culture in Alaska.
 The measure is to protect and encourage the development of oyster culture for commercial pur poses in the Territory This would be done by amending the Alaska fisheries law so as to authorize the Secretary of Commerce to lease bottoms in Territorial wat CTS to those interested in oyster cultivation for commercial use. With the seed oysters planted in such leased bottoms the owners would have a definite and legal property right which they do not have now because the present laws do not permit the establish ment of any private right in these waters.
 Since 1881, when the cultivation of oysters was first started in AL aska, nearly 2 million seed oys- ters have been planted there. Most of these experimental beds are in southeastern Alaska, al- though one bed has been planted as far north as Valdez. The re- suits of these experiments gener- ally have indicated that a worth while industry may be developed in supplying the local markets with oysters if only a way would be provided to protect the title that the planter should rightfully have in his oyster beds. The bill proposes to meet this need.
 The House passed on June 2l, so, with the approva now receiv- ed from the Senate, it requires only the approval of the Presi- dent to become law.

The bill authorizing the trans fer of the cancelled check given in payment of the purchase price of Alaska to the Territory passed the House July 18th.
 If this measure, sponsored by Delegate Dimond, is enacted the check will be delivered to the Governor of Alaska to be placed in the Territorial Historical Libr- ary and Museum. In explaining the reason for enactment of the bill, Mir. Dimond said it seemed particularly fitting that this draft, which marks the beginning of the life of Alaska as a part of the United States, should be trans ferred to the Territory where it will be of definite interest to all who visit the Territorial Library

NEW YORK, March H.-(U.P)--
For the first time in my life I have
been overcome by a laundryman.
The laundryman who conquered
me is George Marshall, the wet
wash tycoon from Washington, D.
c., who, for some reason that is
as obscure as the explanation for
putting starch in collars, has taken
over the sports promotion of Pan
American exposition.
The Pan-American exposition, in
case your laundryman hasn't told
you about it, will be held in Dali
las beginning June IL, and will
run dallas hopes) for 142 days.
1t will be very damn cultural, but
for those who tire of culture after
two courses. gigantic sports prog
ram has been arranged.
And this is where Brother Mar
shall comes in He has been en-
gagged, at an alleged salary of
100000, to stage a sports show
which. in quantity at least, will make
the Olympic games seem high
school relay meet in comparison.
l don't know why Marshall was
chosen. 1t may have been because
his wife is the former Corrine
Griffith of the silent films. 1t may
have been because he dreamed and
brought into being the Roosevelt
speedway. 1t may have been be-
cause he owns a professional foot
ball team known as the Washing
ton Redskins. Or it may have been
because he was born in West Vir-
ginia and wound UP as one of
Broadway's most excellent hot-spot
spenders.
But anyway, the Pan-American
sports business is his baby, and he
is going to shoot the works I've
read his first batch of publicity.
and the only sports event he over
looked was a butting contest be-
tween two virile and determined
billy goats. Everything else is
there, including a 300-mile auto
race, with $17,500 in prizes; a track
meet involving 81 countries; a box

1t is this last item which in

tremendous sports event, for it

The winner of that derby earned
undying fame. I forget his name,
right now, but he will go ringing
down in the corridors of time to a
front row seat in posterity. So
that he won't be lonesome, I sup
pose, Brother Marshall has devised
the Mexico City to Dallas trek. I
can assure Marshall that his crea-
ton Of this marathon stamps him
! as a genius. No one but genius
could have thought of it, but I'm
not saying what kind of a genius
l mean.
The entry list will be tremen-
dous, naturally. 1t isn't often that
a chance comes along to prove that

Mexico and Texas. 1t would be
no small honor to always be in
troduced something like this:
Miss Edwards, may I present
Turk Glutz. His were the only feet
to last the whole way from Mexico
to Dallas"
Turk could then suggest to Miss
Edwards that they sit the next
dance out, and-who knows but
what Miss Edwards and Turk
might fall under the spell of love
and-sweet thought!-marry and
later have bundle from Heaven
who, upon reaching mans estate,
would follow in the footsteps of
his father and lower the record

DOGDOM

The largest puppy is equally playful
when she is taken out of the box, but
she has never yet climbed out Of the
box herself. While she is not afraid
of large dogs. she doesn't go out of her
way to provoke them into a game. She
Is perfectly delighted to stop any play
midway to be cuddled in anybody's
lap, and when left for several hours
greets anybody who comes into the
room by standing on her hind legs
against the side of the box and waving
her forepaws as she makes joyous
noise.
The smallest pup, too. loves
to play, but decidedly prefers to
play with her sisters-no big
dogs for her.
She has an unmistakable preference
for one member of her human family.
She doesn't make nearly as much
noise as either of the others, and
seemingly has more inner sources Of
amusement than either Of the others.
There are three distinct personalities
in one litter, and all of them developed
before the puppies were really weaned.
Which would make the best pet would
depend not on the dog, but on the
dogs owner.
