All Stars Practice Tonight

Captains Givan and O'Leary is- sued calls this weekend for all interested members of the Com mercials, Hannmons and Federals to appear tonight for base ball practice for the All Star game.
 The Alaskans will practice from 2 to 8:30 and the rest of the even- ing is turned over to the All Stars.
 Interest in the make up of the team is growing. One rabid fan thought the following was the best line up. What is your choice :?
 Davidson, catcher; OLeary, pit cher; Givan. first base; Harney, second base: Rolando, third base; Wade, left short stop; Glavino- vich, right short stop; Maynard. left filed; Slack, right field.
 The choice lies with the captains however. and the team will be chosen tonight. It is safe to say that batting averages are being carefully studied, for the best team the Au-Stars can pick may have to extend itself to beat the champions.
 Watch for the official lineup in Wednesdays Nome Nugget.
 Another free scoring women's game is in prospect this week when the Blazers and Nome Wo- men cross bats.

pearls Bonaparte gave his dark pearl

The story of how those black pearls
happen to be in the Louvre today is
romance in itself.
Yvonne .Buschell, a housewife, ad-
mired a necklace with a unique clasp
that lay upon tray with many others
in a bric-a-brac stall in a Partisan
market. Her husbands wages were
small and he watched very closely
the francs he turned over to his wife
for marketing. 1t took Yvonne many
weeks of skimping to save the equi-
valent of 81 demanded by The STALL
keeper for the antique.
When she proudly bore it home and
showed it to her husband, he chided
her for expanding so many francs
upon such a trinket. He was sure
she had been cheated. To prove it,
he went with her to see a friend,
jewelers. assistant. The latter exam
med it carefully, called the manager
of the store. The latter pried open the
clasp. Inside was what he expected
to find a perfect miniature of its his

This is the lost necklace that Ma
poleon gave Josephine" he announced
excitedly. "It is priceless"
Investigation revealed the stallkeep-
err had acquired the necklace for a
few francs several years before. The
historic necklace had passed through
the hands of numerous persons who
had no inkling of it's value. None of
them had thought of taking it to a
jeweler

reward of $4,000 francs from the
minister of fine arts. Yvonne's hus-
band watched the $4,000 francs closes

ONCE UPON JUNE 2Srd


Some of our effulgent editorial
writer's termed the affair of the Duke
of Windsor and Mrs. Wallis Simpson
the greatest romance of all time
It's too early to draw any conclusive
deductions, but it is reasonably GER
tain that the Windsor-Simpson ro-
nance will classify as one of the
minor happenings, measured by effect
on historical currents in comparison
with any one of several hundred other
matings.
Take, for example, the romance of
Napoleon Bonaparte and Marie Rose
Josephine Tascher de la Pagerie, the
Creole who became his Empress jose
-phine. The Duke of Windsor and
Josephine have the same birthday.
The Duke was born 43 years ago to-
day; Josephine was born in Martini
que IT'S years ago today.
Mrs. Simpson only caused the Duke
to lose his throne. Josephine was in
strumental in causing Bonaparie to
both win and lose his crown. Be-
cause of Josephine, Napoleon adopted
or pursued some policies that affected
the whole of Europe and the world.
If Mrs. S. had any lasting effect upon
any one in Britain other than Mr..
Simpson and the Duke, it remains to
be discovered.
One of the most magnificent me-
mentoes of the premier Napoleon's ro-
nance is to be seen today on a vel
vet cushion under a glass case in the
Louvre, in Paris: the string of black
