other. This was of great benefit,
for the skipper of the Caledonia
was able to tell Skipper Gray what
kind of weather awaited him on
the last half of his journey, and vice
versa.
There is actually no direct COM
munication from ship to ship, how
ever, any more than the crew of
one ship has ever actually seen the
other crossing the Atlantic. The
British and American flying radio
stations operate on different fire.
quencies, so that all inter-ship COM
munication must be accomplished
with relays through the shore sta
tons.
The difference in the flying times
of the two ships may be put down
to the prevailing westerly winds. 1t
is simple matter to determine the
ground speeds (or in this case it
might be "sea speeds").
The Caledonia, taking a course
south of the great circle, travelled
1000 miles. Computed from elapsed
time for the flight, the ground speed
would be 1873 miles an hour for the
trip. Adding to this the headwind
of IL miles an hour, it is seen that
the average air speed would be Isl
miles an hour.
Computing Comparative Speeds.
The Clipper III flew 1895 miles in
an amount of time which would set
its surface speed at 157 miles an
hour. However, in computing the
airspeed, Is miles an hour must be
subtracted for the tailwind, giving
the ship an air speed of 1872 miles
an hour.
1t may be seen that the Caledonia
was maintaining her calculated best
air speed of $50 miles an hour,
while the Clipper III was able to
throttle back, saving fuel and wear
and tear on its engines, while IA
vored by tailwind.
It is apparent from the flights
completed this summer that the
route from Newfoundland to Ireland
will be ideal for transatlantic fly
ing during the warmer months. But
the North Atlantic winter is 'hum-
dinger," and only time will tell what
freezing temperatures and ice will
do to the big ships. 1t will prob
ably be necessary to install de-
icing equipment on all the planes
in regular service.
There are alternate routes which
may be more feasible in the winter,
and these will be tested in the
months to come. The most likely
is that from New York to Bermuda,
the Azores and thence to Southamp-
ton. New York to London by way
of Shediac and Botwood is 3,417
miles; by way of the Azores and
Bermuda it is 4,865 miles.
One of the most important consid-
erations in planning transatlantic
air service is the carrying capacity
of the planes. Although the Gale
donia is allowed to load $1,000
pounds, its empty weight is Is, 900
pounds, and it requires 1000 pounds
of fuel and oil; thus only 1000
pounds remain for crew, mail and
passengers. 1t is believed, however,
that the maximum load may be in
creased 5000 pounds safely enough.
Considerably more "payload"
might be carried if the ships did
not need such heavy engines for the
purpose of getting them into the air.
The Germans have been expert
menting with flying boats which are
given "boost" on their way by
means of catapults, and have been
successful with ships up to $1,000
pounds. There are three of this
typesno being used or under con-
struction by them.

Catching Last Drop.

n EAR Mrs. Post: How can syrup
- or cream poured from a pitch
er be kept from losing the last drop
over the side, which not only looks
unsightly but often soils the table
cloth?
Answer: If you stop short when
pouring, the last drop is not likely
to run down the side of the pitcher.
But if it should spill over a little,
take your clean spoon and hold it
under the lip to catch the drop. A
pitcher, by the way, which is to
be set upon the table should have
under it tray or coaster or pos
sibly matching saucer.

n EAR Mrs. Pest: On the way out
of our office building the other
day passed one of our executives
whom l seldom see. He said,
Good morning Miss Brown, how
are you?" and took me so COM
pletely by surprise that I said,
Zine, thank you" and don't be-
lieve that was the proper answer
for me to have made. Under such
a circumstance, what does one say?
Answer: Every well, thank you"
is the punctilious reply and the fact
that you said "Fine" was certainly
not out of the way. In the business
world, however, it would have been
equally proper to merely say "Good
morning" unless you had really
been i'll and his question was there
fore asked intentionally.

Ho,U Does One Speed

n EAR Mrs. Post: What is the
- most courteous way of telling
formal acquaintance, who come to
call and stay longer than expected,
that it is necessary for them to
leave? In the case / am referring
to we hardly knew the visitors and
did not know how to tell them that
we had to dress and drive a dis
lance through city traffic into the
suburbs in order to keep a dinner
engagement.
Answer: No question is so hard to
answer as that of politely speeding
a not departing visitor. And we are
all of us apt to put those with whom
we have an engagement to incon-
venience because of the fear of be-
ing rude to visitor in our own
house. To glance at the clock and
become restless is very bad. The
way would be to say frankly, 81
am sorry; / wish we could keep on
talking but we must dress and drive
to Suburbantown." Sometimes when
time is really limited and some
one comes, it is better 20 greet her
by saying, II am so glad to see you

Mixing Up Furniture.

Mixing Up Furniture.
n EAR Mrs. Post: Will you please
- tell me just how far one may
go in m king furniture? l mean,
should one room contain pieces of
the same period, or may pieces of
various styles be combined properly
in one room? And what periods
are most compatible?
Answer: Rooms with mixed fur
niture have generally much more
charm than those which too strictly
adhere to definite style. The only
important rule to be observed is
that crude pieces can not very
well be put with thos which are
finely finished. And yet, the becom-
ingLess of one piece to another is
much more matter of feeling than
of rule. For instance, one might
put Jacobean pieces with Georgian
as well as with Italian, but one could
not very well put Jacobean next to
fragile examples of Hepplewhite.

Writer Tells Of Lode
 Claims Alaska

tContinued From Page one) acre lode locations made each month is apparently unlimited.
 In marking the boundaries of lode claim the initial post with location notice thereon must be placed at or near the place of discovery. End stakes should be placed in the middle of the vein and at the four corners of the claim. The three end stakes should be in line and the end lin- es should be parallel to each oth- CT. l500 feet may be located al ong the course of the vein and 300 feet on each side of the cen terline thereof.
 The same rule which applies 10 the recording of and annual labor on, placer claims, applies to lode claims. The law allow ing resumption of labor before July 1st. does NOT now apply to either placer or lode locations in Alaska.

Church Minstrel
 Show Set Oct. 9th

An evening of fun and good fellowship is in store for those who attend the social evening at the Federated Church Wednes- day night, Oct. 6, at 8 pm.
 The program will be sponsor ed by the drama club of the church, and will consist of min strel show entitled 'Swanee Riv CT Minstrels'.
 At any rate it will be fun to try and to listen to their music and wisecracks. There are eight cen in the cast. Refreshments will be served.
 There will be an admission charge of thirty-five cents for children, and fifty cents for ad- ults. The proceeds from the en- tertanment will go to the treas ury of the drama club and be used to finance the other produc- tions planned for the coming season, and for the purchase of additional stage equipment. The plays turned out by the club last year, we believe, prove that this is worthy undertaking.
 Tickets are on sale now, and may be had at the parsonage, or from various children. Or they may be obtained at the door. Only two hundred will be sold however, as the capacity of the house is limited.

RELIABLE REPORTS GOLD
 PRODUCTION PENINSULA
 BE ONE.THIRD MORE l936

Reliable sources reported that previous to the sailing of the S.S. Baranof from Nome for Seattle, that there was on hand in Nome at that time, more than one-half million dollars more gold bullion than the entire amount shipped out for last season.
 Such a report indicates defin- itely the surprising increase in and mining for this season in 1887.
 The general prediction for the summer was that the Seward Peninsula section would produce more gold than in 1886.
 The above report, and it bears considerable weight, comes as 8 definite prediction and outlook for the complete mining season. that Seward Peninsula will have increased its production at least one-third more than in 1886.
 Doubling Thomases take notice Nome and the Seward Penin. sula as whole-continues to in. crease in development and pro. duction at more than the usua rate, as its mining camps are en- larged, new machinery, moderr are employed in discov' ering and mining the valuable districts scattered throughout the territory, and the new price cd gold, is paid for the returns.

bling's 'lid', County Attorney John

posed gamblers who were working
assertedly with slot machine oper-
ators uncer a protection system
Corbin said he became one OF
the boys" to find evidence which
led eventually to the wholesale ar
rests in Phoenix.
He became friendly with the al
legged gamblers and later even dis
cussed details of plans of the Mari
copa county sheriff Roy Merrill and
county attorney to collect the "pro-
lection" payments from gamblers
The discussion took place in a wired
room and a federal court reporter
took a transcript of the converse
ton, he said.
Nogales international., 1937-12-04

Money taken in the payoffs was
turned over to the attorney by a
secret agent and carefully noted
and initiated before being sent on
to the men who eventually shared
in the profits.
Nearly $35, 1000 a month passed in
to the hands of officials and high
er-ups in the gambling fraternity
it is estimated.
The investigation went on since
it's start in September, Corbin said,
without the plotters becoming aware
of it's existence.
The roundup which took place the
morning of Nov. 18 caught all the
men arrested on the 25 warrants,
he said.
Nov, Arizona's first county has
a clean bill of health. This is what
we have needed for a long time, -

zona's cattle business-with it's Old
West romance on the far-stretch-
ing plans and its "streamlined"
modernisms-is a 10000, 900 year
matter, survey showed today.
The states livestock business
ranks near the nations peak as
each of the last 10 years has seen
average shipments of 100000 head
of cattle and 25O,OOO sheep and
lambs to eastern anG western mar
kets.
Last year, the number of cattle
shipped from Arizona scared to 304,-
600, report of N. R. Wells, of the
bureau of agricultural statistics,
disclosed.
While modern means of caring
for ranges, transporting cattle over
vast distances and marketing them
were developed, the herds this year
have ranged on approximately IS per
cent of the states 75,000,000 acres.
The livestock reported numbered
$40 900 as against 781, 900 last year.
At the same time, as cattle herds
increased in number, sheep and
lambs slipped from 855,000 in 1886
to $4,000 this year, Wells report
showed.
California slaughter pens and
markets received approximately 80
per cent of Arizona's beef cattle
shipments since 1927.
Besides those, another 10000 head
of cattle were shipped from other
states and Mexico into Arizona in
the last decade for fattening and
marketing, according to Wells.
, Arizona ranchers, who started
their task in the wild early days OF
the Old West and battled Indians
and cattle-rustling marauCers to
keep their heards and range lands,
! have marched with them until to-
day they claim the finest cattle and
most modern methods in the ma
ton.
The last traces of the Texas long
horn and Mexico COW have van
ished virtually in Arizona's live
stock as a result of careful breed

COTTON CROPM
STATE THIS YEAR
BREAKS RECORD
BY CARL McCLUNG
United Press Staff Correspondent


PHOENIX, Dec. 3-CUP) - Ar
estimated 244, 900 bales of cotton
the greatest Arizona yield record
ed-will bring farmers between $10,-
100000 and $15,OOO,OOO this year.
The 269,0OO acres planted to the
fluffy crop in the state will give a
harvest unequalled in Is years OF
production according to estimates
of the U. S. department of agricul-
ture.
Monetary returns from the bump
er yielc, will be slightly less thar
from the record crop of 1918, be-
cause of overcrowded conditions ir
the worlds textile supply marts
federal agents believe.
Arizona is among the nations
most consistently high producing
states. The 1886 crop averaged 43(
pounds per acre, while the nationa!
average reached 1875 pounds. Pre-
liminary estimated show this year S
crop will be only slightly less than
that Of last year, with an average
CT 434 pounds.
The states harvest of nearly a
bale from each acre is attributed
to irrigation and pest control. AL
though ranchers must pay for wa
ter to irrigate the cotton. they also
are assured of an even, high yield.
They know there will be sufficient
water to irrigate their crops.
