COUPLE GOING
OUT ON TRIP
Airplanes Drop Fresh Pro-
duce on Rodman
Doorstep

Tomatoes dropped from an air
plane without smashing them - it
does not sound right, but it is
true.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gust Rodman, who
live on julian Greek, near Flat,
get all their fresh vegetables, meat,
and mail by air, but there is no
landing field at their mining prop
erty, so the airplane pilot simply
swoops low, throttles down and
drops his burden piecemeal into the
soft niggerhead tundra.
People don't believe me when
say my tomatoes are dropped from
a plane without breaking, but they
are" smiled Mrs. FDdman at the
Gastineau Hotel this AFTERNOON,
shortly after she and her husband
had arrived by PAA plane from
Fairbanks.
Asked if possibly he didn't have
a difficult time finding some of the
articles dropped from the plane,
Mr.. Rodman sounded the praise of
pet malamute whose sled days
are over.
when 1 can't find something
the pilot has dropped, the dog can, ;"
Rodman said.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rodman mushed
out with a dog team from their
Julian Greek camp to Flat a short
time ago over this snow that caus-
ed Mrs. Rodman to walk over half
of the way-but under ordinary
circumstances, an airplane covers
the same distance in 10 minutes.
Gust Rodman has been working
hydraulic placers on Julian Creek
with John Miscovich for the last
eight years. This year they took
out $4,000 in dust. One year they

heart-pulling, rib-tickling story OF

1.-TWO Wise Maids" presents the
two co-stars as tough schoolmarms

sters; they battle with the police

and they battle one another in the
quiet loneliness of their three room

a strong skein of deep-seated hu-

making a product of the approx
mate annual value OF 40 million doll
lars. Ownership OF the salmon is
then established by the statement
that all salmon packed in Alaska
are Matched in the inland rivers and
lakes Of the Territory and return to
those waters to spawn ana die. The
fact is emphasized tn a were it
not fcr the protection afforded the
salmon, which has cost the Govern
ment considerable amount. this re-
source would have been exhausted
many years ago. Then follows
statement describing the invasion
of the salmon fishery by foreign
nationals which threaten to deplete
the salmon fishery at this time.
The preamble concludes with a sum-
mary pointing out the necessity of
preventing this invasion of the
Territorry's leading resource if these
foreign nationals will not voluntar-
lily refrain from fishing for salmon
in Alaska waters inside the limits
Of the continental shelf.
This new bill has no reference to
the so-called 12-mile limit, since the
Delegate believed that that part was
of no particular value and lid lead
to some confusion.
1t seems apparent that Ameri-
cans generally are becoming more
and more aware of the peril facing
the Alaska salmon fishery if the
fishing as carried on by Japanese
in this area last summer is not
stopped without delay. A number
Of members Of Congress have ex-
pressed willingness to cooperate with
Delegate Dimond in seeing the mat
ter through to a proper conclusion,
and he expects to press for early
enactment of the measure unless
the Japanese definitely declare their
intention to refrain from invading
this fishery area.

KEEPER OF Wilkes COUNTY
HOME WILL NOT MOVE OUT

N. Wilkesboro, March 5.-Wilkes
county had two men-one a Repub-
lican and the other a Democrat
wanting to look after the home for
the poor today.
Clinard Jones, Democrat of Elk
township, was elected as keeper of
the county home by the two Demo
cratic members of the board of COM
missioners, R. C. Finley and Leet
Poplin, last month over the protest
of J. M. Absher, Republican, who
has been in charge of the home for
the past several years.
This morning, Jones loaded some
of his household effects on a truck
and journeyed down to the Home to
take charge. When he drove up to
the Home, Absher forbid him to un-
load his belongings, Jones said. Most
of the day, the truck stood in front
of the Home but Jones decided to
take his property back to his house
late in the afternoon.
Absher says he has contract and
has given bond as keeper of the
Home until August 10, and refused
to permit the newly-appointed keep
er to take charge for that reason.
In the meantime, County Attor-
neys J. Milton Cooper and w. H.
McElwee are seeking a way through

that was expended by individuals
and local organizations could be

Facts Prove Car
Accidents Due to
Frailty of Human
Agile Pedestrians Endangered
by Modern Fast Travelling
Cars and Trucks

J. r. Hamilton, Chicago, Ill, seek
ing diversion in sociological study,
delved into the cause of the nations
annual half a million automobile &C.
cidents and found it was largely
human limitations
Hamilton, head of an advertising
agency whose principal relaxation
is research, used that phrase to de-
scribe what two years Of expert
ments taught him about automobile
drivers. :.
Summing up the results in small
volume, "Safe Driving" soon to be
published, he expressed this general
conclusion:
"Man now has machine (the au-
tomobile) which is so much faster
than his own human machine that
he must now learn, or reconsider,
the limitations of his own human
machine"
The experiments were conducted
in cooperation with DR.. L. L. Thur
stone, professor of psychology at the
University of Chicago, and were
made on streets and highways ana
in the university laboratories.
Briefly, Hamilton reported among
his findings:
l. The faster one drives, the farth-
er ahead his vision is concentrated,
so that at 60 miles an hour he sees
only a spot on the highway about
1900 feet away.
2. AS speed increases, detail of
foreground vision fades and peri
pheral vision (what is seen from the
Sides of the eye) diminishes.
3. Motion in a approaching auto
mobile is not detected until it is
within 800 feet, and the rapidity OF
motion is not detected until 1t IS
much nearer.
4. Mental response of driver is
greatly slowed by increasing the
number of things to be noted, as in
driving in heavy traffic.
S. The human limitations" de-
termined by the tests apply to all
classes of drivers.
Tests of pedestrian reaction, Ham,
ilton reported, showed that an agile
walker could not dodge an automo-
bile 38 feet away if the car were
going 20 miles an hour. Extension
of the table showed that at SO miles
an hour, autos endangered pedestri-
ans LOT feet ahead.
