CHAMBER GETS
 BACK OF MOVE
 TO NAME QUEEN
Committee Chosen to Find Ways and Means to Send
 Miss Juneau to Carnival

First official move in sponsoring a Miss Juneau to compete for the title of Miss Alaska at the Fair banks Ice Carnival and Dog Derby March 10, II and 12, the winner tC be given trip to Hollywood, was taken today by the Juneau Chamber of Commerce when President Charles w. Carter named a com mittee to consider ways and means
 The President pointed out that the Executive Committee of the Chamber had considered the idee of having each civic and traternai organization present girl nom- inee the winner to be decided at a big community gathering, including a dance, proceeds of which would go toward defraying expenses. The entire cost is not expected to be more than $250, he said, and large part of this cost would be obtained through charging a small entrance fee of each club sponsoring nom- inee.
 Joe Crosson, President of the Ice Carnival, was a guest of the Cham Der and gave assurance that Miss Juneau as well as the girls who may be selected from other cities of the Territory will be properly cared for at Fairbanks and their expenses paid. He explained that the winner of the title Miss Alaska at the Fair banks show would be given free trip to Hollywood, properly chap eroned, and taken behind the scenes at the picture capital, an opportun- ity afforded few girls.
 We are particularly glad to have Juneau, the capital city, represent ed," Crosson said, and I'm mighty pleased to see the Chamber here going ahead with it.
 On the committee to take up the Miss Juneau contest, President Car ter named Horace Adams, Curtis 6hattuck, Norman Banfield, Johr keyser and Lew Williams as chair man.
 A feature of the entertainment program at the Chamber today was a reading by Eckley Guerin, decla- nation contest winner at the high school recently. Young Guerin's presentation won resounding ap- plause of the Chamber members. He was presened by Miss Avis Brick son, dramatic coach at the high school
 Harry Donnelly of Flat, former member of the Legislature, was a guest at today's luncheon in Percy's Cafe and returning members Hor- ace Adams and Tom Dyer told brief ly of their recent trips Outside.

 Program
(By Associated PresS)

An unsettled world today watch ed with growing concern the de- velopments of fostering sore spots on the face of a troubled globe
 Germanys armies are demanding a showdown with the Nazi Party on the Wallis Edward case in Berlin, while in Spain Spanish Insurgent bombardment of an Am erican- French caravan of ambul- ances and supply trucks added to the general world confusion.
 Japan Worried Now
 Japanese diplomats showed con- cern over the American program for naval expansion, which if pass ed by Congress, will put $800,000 900 into battleships and supplementary armament for the American fleet, with implications sounded in Wash ington that defense eyes are turned on the Pacific.
 In Spain, three Spaniards were killed and 12 were injured in the air bombing of the French Amer ican ambulance and supply truck caravan, but it is unknown whether or not Americans were hurt.
 Hospital SheIled
 The travelling hospital in the train, said to have been furnished by American syrnpathiZers with the Spanish Government, was believed to have been struck by the Insur- gent rain of explosives.
 In Berlin, that metropolis of Nazi Germany is today buzzing with the excitement aroused by the resigna- tion of Marshal Von Blomberg, Minister of War, whose love for a carpenters daughter is more im- pcrtant to him than his august position at the head of Germany's armed forces.

RESCUE CRAFT LEAVE TO SAVE
 DRIFTING CAMP
Russian Scientists Ice Foe Grows Perilously
 Small

MOSCOW Feb. 3.-The Soviet ice breaker Taimyr sailed today for Murmansk to rescue four Rus- sian scientists from their precar- iously small block of ice drifting on the Arctic Sea off Greenland.
 The endangered camp has drifted from the North Pole to over TOO miles from the top of the world and is drifting southward at such a rate that officials estimated it would soon enter currents flowing toward Jan Meyer Island, just above the seventieth parallel.
 The last report from the campers said that yesterday their refuge was simply a silk tent, erected around an emergency radio mast tent pole perched on a foe only 100 feet by 160 feet in area.
 Murmansk on Greenland, is at present, a distance of 1000 miles from the drifting camp. The Tai myr will base there with three planes.
 A small Soviet steamer. the Mur- manets, near the foe, was ordered to go to the rescue of the scien- lists and report her position every six hours.
 With stormy weather prevailing. the three planes on the Taimyr were lashed to the decks to prevent their being washed or blown away.

ABOUT AGRICULTURE

Because butterfat prices uSu-
ally follow pay rolls quite close
ly, the present industrial re-
cession has brought pay roll e.
auctions and in turn lower but
terfat prices, says j. o. Trets-
ven, extension dairy specialist.
Another aggrevation to the sit
uation has been the drop in pri-
ces for hay and other feed
stuffs. AS a result more liberal
feeding is being practiced by
some farmers and production
of butterfat has increased over
last year. However, Tretsven
points out, this situation does
not mean that dairymen should
feed less in order to hold down
volume. Good feeding of the
right kind of COWS is the most
economical method of produc-
ing milk or butterfat. It is much
better, he adds, to keep fewer
cows that are well fed than
more COWS poorly fed.

Before the echo died away a fusil-
lade followed.
From round a bend in the gulch
there came the crack of a gun.
Were too late!" Chiswick cried.
"Come on, boys"
He slid from the saddle and ran
toward the bend, moving with the
heaviness that comes from middle
age. Gray passed him before he
was halfway to the turn.
The scene Gray looked upon as he
rounded the curve was one Of the
widest confusion. Frightened by
the firing, two saddled horses were
bucking wildly in the dry bed Of
the stream. The men who had
been riding them lay on the ground.
one Of them face down and the 9TH
er in a twisted heap. Two others in
Mexican costume were racing down
the canyon to escape. while three
masked men shot at them with rifles
as they ran. Another masked man
was struggling with a pitching mule.
Gray flung a bullet at the nearest
Of the marksmen. The man whirled,
caught sight of him. and ripped out
a startled oath. He gave a cry Of
warning, fired nee wildly toward
the men pouring round the bend,
and turned to run. He caught at
the bride Of one of the plunging
horses and tried to mount. His foot
could not find the stirrup nor could
ne fling himself astride the back Of
the animal. A bullet struck the POM
mel Of the saddle to which he was
clinging. With a yell of terror he
let 60 and flew down the gorge,
lodging in and out of the rocks as
he went. Though the face of the
man was covered by a bandanna
except for the eyes. Gray recog-
nized him as young Howard.
Taken by surprise, the other BAN
dts thought only of flight. One ran
limping to a horse. pulled himself
to the saddle, and galloped off. An
other plunged to the ground, as if
he had stumbled, but did not rise
again. The remaining two, penned
in the rocks, answered the fire of
the attackers.
Get to cover, boys" Lee or
dered. well drive them into the
open. Don't take any chances"
A saddled horse. snorting with
fear, came out from the big boul-
ders close to the spot where the two
masked men crouched. The nearest
outlaw seized the bride and mount
ed. His companion clambered on
behind, and the animal dashed down
the canyon.

to his son Frank. wei take after
these fellows"
He moved forward to check the
casualties. Two Mexicans were
dead, as was also one of the out
laws. None Of the Chiswick party
had been hurt. The unexpected at
tack had sent their foes into panic.
Gray turned over the body Of the
masked man lyi ag in the sand. He
recognized 1.-The face Of Sid Hunt,
the cowboy he had seen in Yell
Sanger'S store when he first ar.
rived IN Tail Holt.

IN PRE-WAR times every we'll
dressed woman started with a
suit which was solemnly referred
to as the backbone of the ward
robe," which it was-and is to-
day.
Reports from fashion experts
on spring styles invariably start
with the suit. While there are
suits and suits, some three-piece,
some two and some even four, it
is the suit that is once more the
most important of all the cos
tunes for spring.
Three-piece suits stand way up
in front for their possibilities in
most climates for spring. This
spring, one of the big fashions in
the three-piece suit is contrast
ing color. The jacket is usually
in the contrast against more
neutral or a darker color for the
topcoat and the skirt.
These are some of the color
twosomes that have figured
prominently in style shows.
They are done in an imported
tweed such as navy and gold,
navy and pale blue ana gold and
brown.
Soft suits-feminized classic
tailored ones-are very much in
the foreground. They are in
mems wear worsteds, and they
follow the chief rules of tailleurs,
but pockets, lapels, fastening ar
rangement, or sleeves depart
from the regular formula.
Besides these softer tailleurs,
novelty jacket suits, cape suits,
bolero suits, three-piece suits,
and, of course, costumes are im-
portant.

tant silhouette ?""I the straight

point. Really getting around to
the Elton jacket and particularly
right in woolens.
ROWS OF buttons, neat little
bone buttons set close together,
are pet trimmings on tailored
REFERS, boleros and youthful
capelet suits. They go down the
front and across the pocket.
LAVENDER with navy is one Of
the pleasant new color combina-
tions for the costume suit be-
cause of the very interesting
variations achieved in combina-
tions of patterned and plain
woolens.

IS MUST BE EXERCISED TO BE TRULY BEAUTIFUL

PRINCESS Alexandra Kropot-
kin, New York socialite and
business woman, is noted for
her lovely, expressive hands.
She believes that it is second
nature for most women to keep
their hands beautifully groomed
and manicured. But, she says,
not enough of them know how
to use their hands eXpressively.
In a booklet she has just writ
ten, she says that there are
plenty of simple exercises for
keeping the hands, wrists and
arms lovely and perfectly poised.
These exercises are easy enough
for any woman to do every day.
