The acorn will in time become a

acorns.
The egg, under certain conditions,

subject to certain conditions before
the power within was awakened
The conditions being earth, dark

There exists within each of us un-

conditions are met, or the required at

is released. Man is then enabled to
master circumstances instead of being
slave to conditions.

BROWN BEAR RAGING GAS GAR
 KILLED ON ALASKA RAILROAD

Trying to outdistance a gas car on the Alaska Railroad just above Chulitna station, a young brown bears life was snuffed out as quick ly as one turns off light switch.
 At certain points on the railroad. and especially where streams or cul= verts run under the track, the ties form short trestles with open spaces between.
 This little fellow evidently was badly frightened at the strange. big animal" rapidly bearing down on him and so instead of Jumping off the track and hitting into the tall and uncut, ran straight up the track Every other leap or so the bear would look back over it's shoul- der and il was during one of these backward glanees that the bear. un- knowingly. struck an open trestle. missed it's footing and dove straight down between the ties, flipping over on it's back and breaking It's neck instantly.

NEW YORK BANKER PLEASED
 RENAL PENINSULA VACATION

SEWARD - S. Sloan Colt and family from New York counted 193 sheep about Copper mountain, and it didn't put them to sleep either. Climbing mountains to take pictures of Wildlife, getting out of the way of bears provided all the sleep pro- ducers required.
 The New York banker. Mrs. Sloan two daughters and son Dick return ed Thursday evening from Cooper Landing, where they were lodge guests of MT. and Mrs. Frank D. Towle. It was under the guidance of Mr. Towle that they went fishing on Russian river and climbed the mountains to get motion pictures of sheep and goats.
 On one of the jaunts they en- countered a black bear feeding on a patch of berries. They moved in close to get pictures, shouted and waved at the animal to get him in motion. And with a feroeious growl he did that very thing, only it was in the direction of the picture-mak- ing group. Not rapidly, but in a growing, Investigating way. There were a few uncomfortable moments, that only ended when the bear got the human scent. Then he was off in a cloud of dust.
 At one spot they counted 21I bears and at least 20 moose crossed their paths. After a nights rest in Seward tehy felt like they needed some exercise so next day scaled old Mount Marathon.
 MT. and Mrs. Colt are coming back again and will bring others with them. Don't know just when that will be, as the banker is a busy man, head of an institution that employs 2,2OO people. One thousand one hundred girls keep typewriters humming.
 But for all his heavy responsibil-I ities, the banker likes to take time off to talk about Kenai peninsula, the grand time he and his family enjoyed, and the certainty that they are going to make return trip.

EASTMAN COMPANY OFFICIAL
 EXPERIMENTING WITH FILM

CORDOVA - CordoYa is host for few days of distinguished people in the field of photography and al- lied interests.
 Dr. Wallis Clark and Mrs. Clark Of Rochester. N. '. arrived here on the Columbia last evening. They are on a vacation and pleasure trip, but Dr. Clark has combined with this some experimental work with new products of the Eastman Kodak company, where he is high official in the research department. Brad ford Washburn, who has an en- viable reputation as an aerial pho- tographer, has been here for some time making photographs for the National Geographic Society, liar yard University and the Associated Press; he has also done some aerial mapping for the joint oil prospect ing party in the Katalla-Yakataga region.
 Dr. Clark and MT. Washburn will likely work together on aerial pie lures in color as it is said this To- eality provides a splendid field for color photography. Dr. Clark has been one of the foremost developers of the Kodachrome film of the East man company. He has brought with him, for Mir. Washburn's aerial camera, film which contains the latest developments and improve ments in color-film emulsions. Here tofore, the Eastman company has produced Kodachrome principally for the miniature camera but they are now about ready to go on the market with color film for the larg- CT size cameras.
 Another important development of the Eastman company, which Dr. Clark will try out on Alaska seen cry, is the infra-red film. This film utilizes the principle of the infra- red ray, which is invisible to the human eye but which has some pe- euliar and almost uneanny charac- teristics.

Clark states that the infra-red will penetrate haze to remarkable distances, but wishes to explode the idea, believed by some, that it will penetrate fog or clouds.
 After completing experiments here, Dr. Clark and MT. Washburn expect to try out these new film developments in the Fairbanks re- zion, with special reference to get ting some long-distance shots of Mt. Mckinley on the infra-red film.
