of a downhil grade, and the dogs
stiffened to stop. Then, without so
much as "by your leave" they all
jumped aboard One big silver timber
wolf climbed socially into my lap,
and snapped at another timber wolf
who had the same idea Kaska laughed
as he gave the coach push.
'Tha's all right, they always ride
down-hill. We 60 ten miles this way"
The grade was sleeper than it
looked. We shot downward at speed
that rocked us from side to side. We
careened around hairpin curves and
swooshed over bridges that spanned
deep canyons didn't think we'd ever
make it but we did. And when
the train" finally came to a stop,
the dogs barked noisily, leaped down
and took their places, and trotted on
towards our destination
Kaska said this track was laid
during the gold rush about thirty
years ago. A small locomotive pulled
freight to and from the mining camps
along the kougerok River. But it
cost lot to fuel the engine, and soon
the companies began freighting by
water, and the train stopped running.
Husky dogs however. have to be
fed, even in the summer months when
they are not normally working. So
the ''dogomotive" idea was evolved,
and has been very successful.

carried rabbit insurance. He grinned.

GETTING AHEAD
THROUGH PULL

HIS little problem concerns a
lifesaver stationed at certain
u point on the Jersey Coast that
is notorious for the strength of the
undertow. One very rough day, the
Efesaver. spying swimmer in distress.
pushes his lifeboat into the pounding
surf and rows with all his strength
toward the drowning man, arriving
in time to save him.
But the rescue proves quite eX-
hausting, and the lifesaver. having
finally heaved his man into the boat,
makes for the shore. His strength is
spent and he finds that he can muster
only enough energy to dip the oars
into the sea once every minute With
each stroke he takes, his little craft
lurches forward five feet; but each
time he lifts his oars out of the water.
the tide pulls him back three feet.
Now. assuming that the lifesaver
starts thirty-eight feet from shore,
how many minutes will it take him to
beach the boat? (Answer on page l5.)

Means of Combating
Hollyhock Rus Given

BOZEMAN.-Means of combat
ing hollyhock rust which appar-
emily is. reaching into all sections of
the state are suggested by H. E.
Morris. plant pathologist for the
Montana agricultural experiment
station.
A good time to control is the fall.
Morris suggests cleaning up the tops
of all hollyhocks and fallen leaves
and burning as the most important
control measure. All plants of COM
mon ground mallow should be de-
stroyed as this weed is also sus-
ceptible to rust. :,
Control is also effective in the
spring, Morris says.
Plants should be lightly covered
with a sulphur dust such as pomo-
green or a similar dust. or be light
" sprayed with one of the sulphur
fungicides. Summer strength lime

Expounds WPA
Recreation Program

From all sides the question is
asked, What is the WPA recreation
program? How does it function?
How could we obtain it? Would 1t
include leisure time activities for
us?
The Division of Education and
Recreation is one of the projects in
stituted by the federal government
to provide, through supervised lead
ership, recreation in the broadest
sense of the term as possible, to SO
prove to the community the value
of recreation as an integral part
of our community life that the WPA
may help in building toward rec
reation as a permanent feature.
The philosophy of the Division
of Recreation is broad one. The
purpose of providing the most ex.
pert and effective programs In rec.
reation possible. Recreation itseH
means to the WPA any activity
which insures immediate satisfac.
ton, whether it be intellectual, SO.
cial, cultural, or physical, or fol
any age grouping or people of any
economic status,
Activities are determined prlmar-
lily by the leadership available. As
they unearth people with talents
in various skil1s. as they discover
that the community is interested II
those skills, and as the necessary
space or equipment is provided them
by the community, then is that ac
tivity initiated into the commun-
ity. At all times the WPA Recrea
ton Division acts only in coopera
ton with existing recreational, edu
cational and civic agencies in al
effort to assist them in every wa,
possible. No program Is superim
posed upon a community that il
not DESTROYS of accepting the re
sponsibility for that program to Thu
extent of giving its cooperation ane
enthusiasm. Salaries of worker.
are paid by the federal government
but other necessary items of expense
must be accepted by the community
In view of the fact that recreation
is essentially educational and tina
it is SO much more vital than mere
ly a means of filling in an idle hour
the WPA is most anxious to render
any service possible in helping this
community to obtain this key tt
fuller, more creative living.

NEW YORK, June 3.--Joe Louis
the one champion who doesn't appear
to be in any active danger from Henry
Armstrong; reckless fists, is well along
in his training for his combat with
Max Schmeling on June %.
Joe moved into the Pompton Lakes
camp the night Armstrong moved out
and already has boxed 18 rounds, not
to mention some SO miles of road work
accomplished The big Negro is down
to 205 pounds and he intends to lon
off only about five more before he
meets the man who knocked him silly
two summers ago.
He's "a now and the "baby" look has
disappeared entirely from his round
face. In the ring, even with the big
gloves, he Is mean fighting man
and his handlers are having difficulty
keeping good sparring partners at $25
per day.
Dean Bangs Champion.
The principal thing a visit to the
camp reveals is that Joe still can be
hit with a right hand. Basher Dean
big and willing, cracked the champ a
half dozen resounding swats in the
course of two outdoor rounds yester-
day, and the basher scarcely has as
good right as Schmeling's.
The point seems to be that Louis
finally has come to realize that he al
ways will be a happy target for a
right, and has quit worrying about it
He is confident he can take Schmel-

New Jumps Will Be Used in

Meet Tomorrow.

Two difficult classes promise some
OF the most sensational jumping in

Club grounds, according to the an
nouncement Of the management of
the Riding and Hunt Club exhibition
opening there at 10 am.
These events will be the handy

Jumps entirely new to the native
circuit, and the knock down land -out
competition in which the entrants will
go over two jumps, one at 4 feet and
one at 4 feet inches, with the bar
riers raised inches each time there
is tie.
In past competitions the knock
down-and-out has developed into a
5-foot, 5-foot-6 class, and may 60
higher at this show, with such out
standing jumpers as Maj A. w. Roffe's
Apple Jack, Charles Carrico's Hunger
Marcher, Miss Margaret Cotter's
Rocksie, Fenton Fadeley's Lacquer
Lady and Fred Hughes, jr.'s, Black

All four of the morning classes
Saturday will be for junior riders,
while the program beginning at l 80
in the afternoon includes one hack
class, four for hunters and three for

ule, with slight variations in the class
conditions, will prevail on the second

Lou Ambers, the marked man in

.L0ND0S DEMANDS
TOO MUCH SUGAR
Turner Would Rematch Him
With Bruins, but Not for
Fee of SIS, GOO. /.

Promoter Joe Turner, who has a
fondness for rematching rasslers who
create mild uprisings among spec
tators intent on upholding righteous
ness, today pulled and sent wires in
an effort to rerln Jim Londos and
Bobby Bruins next week at Grifith
Stadium, but with little hope of sue
cess.
Londos, who pinned Bruins last
night at home plate before a gather
ing OF 1000 customers, still remem-
bers the lush days of the mat indus
try and has demanded $4,000, but
Turner. who hasn't seen that much
sugar in some time, can't fathom she'll
ing out that kind of money and won't.
Joe holds faint hope of reducing Jim's
demand to more reasonable bounds,
but still is trying.
Londos Arouses Ire.
The international champion" who
intends to tour South America, South
Africa and Europe mats shortly, irked
the spectators and Bruins considerably
when he clamped a crab hold on
Bobby, dragged him near the ropes,
gained leverage by placing his foot on
the lower strand and flattened him In
~ minutes. Employing the ropes in
such manner, it seems, is taboo even
in graphing circles.
Bruins. who chimed in with the
crowd to object strenuously to Referee
Benny Bortnick and Londos, previously
had handled the situation nicely if
impolitely. His Furnishing toe holds
and rough exchanges with the Greek
made it interesting.
Fred Grobmier forced Boris Demit-
rolf to give up through the medium
of scissors hold in minutes, while
other matches saw Jack Patterson
throw Ivan Vacturoff in Is minutes,
Orville Brown squash Frenchy La Rue
in II minutes and Chief Thunderbird
and Rudy Kay toll to 3o-minute
draw.

or 1874 pounds and making that 1856
pound featherweight limit, il he could,
figures to harm him considerably.
Still, If he manages to shed
that poundage, there is no one
in that realm calculated to ex-
tend even weakened Arm
strong.
Freddie Miller. now rated the lead
ing challenger, is a clever boxer, but
not in the same class with Ross. while
Baby Arizmendi and Young Right
mire, rated second and third, respec-
lively already have bumped into
Henry's fists and regretted it.
Thus the opposition narrows almost
to Henry himself and the question of
how much human machine can ab-
sorb. Henry isn't taking too many
blows, but the pace he sets is terrific.
1t looms as his only conqueror and
that apparently is removed to the dis
tant future.
