DAILY PLANES : GARRY MINERS
 ON GOLD RUSH
Diggings at YellOwknife and Gordon Lake, Sask.,
 Are Goal

Goldfields, Sask., May 28. (UP)- The spring gold rush in this remote northern district is in full swing.
 Air transports operating out of Prince Albert, Edmonton and Fort McMurray are making capacity flights daily, carrying miners and their supplies to otherwise inacces- sible placer and hydraulic opera tions.
 The rush this year is concen- trating around Yellowknife and Gordon Lake. Athabasca, usually bustling with activity at this time of the year, is not enjoying its usual successful season.
 Points even farther north than this isolated town are the goal of both proSpector and boomer. Char tered airplane flights daily carry adventures Arctic-ward, with canoes and bed-rolls hanging precariously on .fuselages and wings.
 Four camps are in operation within reach of Goldfields. They are the Consolidated Mining Shelters, The Frontier, Athona Mines and Nicholson Mines.
 Until mid-June, the only way to get to the interior mining centers is by air. Jumping off points are Ed monton, Fort McMurray and Prince Albert.
 Air rates from Edmonton are $70, Yellowstone $110, and Gordon Lake $125. Approximately the same rates prevail out of Prince Albert. From Fort McMurray the fare is $25 less to each point.
 Freight rates from Edmonton and Prince Albert to the northern points in order mentioned run 28 1-2, 48 and 50 cents per pound.
 Practically all job-seekers who reached Athabasca last year were employed. Those seeking work must be in excellent health, and not more than 35 years of age. Men must pass a rigid physical examination before they are even considered for the rigorous work.

Q NhA"A 6O ~"S 6hSe~S U"SehSs erans of the North and South met at Gettysburg in a less formal gathering than that of this year. Governor John K. Tener invited them all to come back again in 1888, and Pennsylvania is now making good on that invitation.
 Visitors to Gettysburg will find town strong with historic atmos- phere. The 2,500-acre panorama of the battlefield has been carefully preserved; farm houses still proud ly display shell scars of the great | battle.
 Eight miles to the west is the blue and misty South Mountain chain. Nearer to town are the out lying ridges of Oak, Seminary and Cemetery ridges, with two Round Tops crowning Cemetery ridge.
 The dignified Wills Mansion where Abraham Lincoln wrote his famous Gettysburg address is still standing but now is occupied by a bustling, blue-front drug store. Above the street floor there is a sign: "In This Room Abraham Lin- coin Wrote His Famous Gettysburg Address"
 And so another Memorial day comes to Gettysburg, and the town looks forward to the ceremonies that will make it more than ever the shrine that Symbolizes peace between the states.

The assistance from the Soviet
Union also is questionable. The Mos
COW government has been sending a
certain amount of war material to
the Chinese as long as Chang was able
to show strength and engage the bulk
Of the Japanese armies. Now the
Japanese can keep their forces to or
ganize the occupied territories under
Chinese dignitaries who will be tools
in the hands Of Toxic and in case of
need can concentrate their major
forces on the Siberian frontier.
1t is believed in responsible quarters
that German British Intervention will
give opportunity to the japanese to
organize a responsible" Chinese gov
ernment in Marking or Canton which
will sign anything dictated from
Toxic. In such an eventuality Gen.
Chang will become officially an out
law and rebel, who will not be able to
count on the assistance Of any power
or important group of citizens.
The Chinese, according to reports
from official sources, are weary Of a
war which has taxed their capacity Of
resistance to the limit. They un-
doubtedly will submit to whatever
terms may be imposed on them by
their conquerors.

Friendly Police Dog Causes

A handsome police dog caused .
tempest today that threatened to wreck
one home and disturb two others. But
the dog, who might be Wagsy and
might again be Wolf, has trotted of
some place-perhaps to make himself
the innocent focal point Of another

The dog came into the life of Ben

lives at 60l Twenty-first street NV,
yesterday at Constitution avenue and
Thirteenth street.
Mr.. Smith stopped to pat him. and
the next thing he knew the dog was
following him. Mr.. Smith lives In 4

the dog to 60 home. but the animal
trotted along at his heels.
Today Mrs. Smith delivered an ulti-
matum.
Il told my husband he'd have to get
rid Of the. dog" she told q reporter
heatedly. I'VE don't want the dog. We
want to get rid Of him. In fact, I'm
afraid of him."
To the reporter, getting rid Of the
dog seemed . simple matter. His tag,
1922, indicated he was owned by Mrs.
Mary Scaldaferri. the wife of a stone
mason who lives at 1913 D street NV.
The reporter checked with the Seal
daferris and found their dog, Wolf by
name, had been let out for his Gus
tomary evening stroll yesterday and
had not returned. The Scaldaferris
said they had owned the dog for over
year and the license was issued

New forms OF life, SprOutlng IN the
depths of the infinitely little, constant
ly are threatening mans food supply.
This recently recognized phenome-
non explains the seemingly never-end-
ing fight against the blights and rusts
which attack grains and vegetables and
cause enormous losses every year, DR..
e. c. Stakman of the University of
Minnesota told the academy last
night.
1t has long been observed, Prof.
Stakman said, that as soon as one
plant pest seems to have been con-
quered by the breeding of an immune
species. another appears to take its
place and all the work must be done
over again. Thus the plant breeders
always keep a little ahead of an in
visible, mysteriously acting rival. In
the past none has known where these
new pests come from and 1t has been
assumed that they have always been
in the world.
Entirely Different Habits.
This assumption goes by the boards
altogether. he said, when from A single
cell OF fungus which causes smut on
corn l62 new types, each superfcially
IKE all the others but with entirely
different habits and appetites, can be
bred in few years, as has just been
done at the University of Minnesota
