Marston disappeared in 1885.
When an unknown man was
found dead in Minneapolis in
August of that year, relatives
identified the body as that of
Marston. The remains were taken
to Taylors Falls for burial. How
ever fingerprints of the dead
man did not check with those on

take had been made.
The identity of the body buried

the spring of 1889 looks like a

Science
There's new ray Of hope for
a means of combating cancer in
1939-and the new hope is a ray.
Neutrons, which come from
breakup of a metallic atom when
a metal is bombarded with high
energy rays, such as radium, are
the new weapon. Unlike other
particles, neutrons are free. of
electrical charges which tend to
defect penetrating rays. They go
straight through.
The cyclotron, an apparatus in
vented by DR.. E., o. Lawrence of
the University of California is the
best source. Several universities
hope to perfect the ray in 1889.

Conversation Piece
CNcw York World-Telegram)

Herr Hitler arrived in Rome last night for his visit to Signor Mussolini He will be in Italy more than week. But it is said, only one hour has been allotted for his conference with Il Duce. The rest of the time-if the program cabled to this country is correct-will be taken up by balyhoo and fanfare
 But that hour may be plenty, Considering what the Fuehrcr has just done to Austria and plans to do to Czechosovakia and the Duce's friendly goings-on with England and France, maybe an hour is about fifty-fve minutes too much
 Here is the way the conversation might go:
 Hitler (after an embarrassing pauce): "Ahem. How about that military alliance?"
 Duce: What military alliance?"
 Hitler: Between Italy and Germany The one talked about the last time got together"
 Duce (grnly) "Ohl Pardon me. You mean the we talked about before your magnificent vic tory Austria
 Hitler: Not sore or anything, are you, old pal?"
 Duce ewth hollow laugh) "oh, no! Ha-ha-ha! What else do for you, chum?"
 Hitler: T want Trieste. It will make swell German outlet to the Mediterranean Don't forget that it used to be Austra's"
 Duce (dryly): I'll not forget. Anything more?'
 Hitler: "Only Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Rumana, the Ukraine, the valley of the Danube, the Balkans, the road to Baghdad and colonies But I'll take all those for myself All I want you to do is
 Duce: ITO hold off Great Britain, France and the other powers while you annex middle Europe and the rest. Sure. get you And what do I get?'
 Hitler enthusiastically: "A nice slice of Yugo- slaviap
 Duce: Have you annexed that country too?"
 Hitler Qaughngly): No, no chum! You mis- understand me I'm going to let you carve slice for yourself. give you free hand"
 Duce (sotto voice.: What pail" (out loud). How about forgetting all that and coming along with me, Britain and France in effort to head off war in Europe?" 6s
 Hitler (disgustedy): Bah! Say what's all this, anyway? thought you my buddy!'
 Duce: Sure, I'm your buddy. That's why I'm telling you to watch your step. France Britain and maybe some others may hop you yet
 Hitler And you?1
 Duee: Me? I'm neutral at least for the present.
 Hitler That's fine way to treat
 Duce: You'd better get going, pal. I don't want you to miss the show It's costing $20000000 And it's all for you.'
 Hitler protesting as the Duee elbows him toward the door). But . but
 Duce: "Ill be seeing you
 Hitler But when where ?"
 Duce: Tomorrow at the parade I'll be the fellow on the white horse"
 Hitler But
 Duce: "slong, pal. Nice to have seen you"

ALAsKA'S UNEMPLOYMENT

 At that time in November the census listed 1243 persons totally unemployed and wanting work and emergency workers or the basis of 62OOO popu- lation which the census takers used percent of the total population of the Territory or this number 779 were listed as totally unemployed" and 464 emergency workers" The census report found that 15 percent of the totally unemployed were between 15 and "A and 346 percent between the ages of Is and 34 total of 672 863 percent males COP or 911 percent of those reporting the subject of income had during the week before register ing for the census. Slightly more than IS percent had not worked during the 12 months period just preceding the census taking.
 In addition to the 1243 listed as totally unem- ployeds and emergency workers" the census listed 383 persons partly unemployed" Of this later group 857 percent had worked 26 weeks less dur Ing tTe year OVner ficant facts concerning the partly unemployed as revealed in the enumeration are:
 T.fy-eight and four -tenths and 389 percent, res pectvely. of the and did not work at all during the week of November to 13 1887; and an additional 1922 percent of the men and 472 percent of the women worked less than IT hours during that week x
 Sixty and six-tenths percent of the men and 357 percent of the women the only workers in their families

 Sixteen and five-tenths percent of the and 129 percent of the women had four more depen- dents
 Fifty-six men and nine women were less than 25 years of age These formed 16.l and 25 percent, respectively, of the mep and y9npen. tsStas
 Most significant in the census results, it would appear is the fact that during the month of Noven- Der, winter month, two percent of our population
