PRAYERS HEALING POWER:
Bv NOAH HOLLOWELL


| sometimes wonder how seriously
physicians regard prayer in con-
nection with healing.
My last extensive conversation
with Dr.. John H. Woodcock, who
died this week was in company
with DR.. S. E. Greenwood, when
DR.. Woodcock credited his recov-
cry from recent critical illness to
prayer of friends. He said he be-
iieved prayer had a much greater
place in the practice of medicine
than had been accorded it. Of
course man can't tell what
cures him, but you find one here
and there who credits his life be-
yond certain critical illness to the
power of prayer.

 San Bernardino, Cal, March 29.- CUP) )-Steadier pitching and the ad- dition of Johnny Rizzo to the out field this season have given Pie Traynor what he considers the strongest Pittsburg Pirate squad in his four years as manager.
 Faced with only one serious prob lem-choosing between Lee Handley and Bill Brubaker for third base man-the husky, soft-spoken skip per expects to enter the world series next October if he is favored by luck. The luck hinges on the pitch CTS.
 Last season Russ Bauers and Jim Tobin came along nicely" Traynor explained. If one or two of this seasons rockies develop as well, then the Pirates will match the best of them. We've got Marvin Duke, a left-hander who won 21 and lost only eight for Montreal last season; Truett Sewell who did 16 and 12 at Buffalo; and Bob Klinger from Sacramento, where he pitched 19 victories against 13 losses. They all look good to me right now"
 Bauers, who won 13 and lost six, was one of the prizes of the 1887 season. This year he will be used as regular along with Tobin, Ed Brandt, Cy Blanton, Bill Swift, Mace Brown, Joe Bowman and Red Lucas. Rockies Duke and Klinger have worked splendidly in exhibition games.
 Rizzo, 1858 hitter from Columbus last year, is scheduled to team with the "big and little" poison combina- tion of Paul and Lloyd Waner in the outfield His batting will round out the strongest offensive outfield in the National circuit. The three re- serves are Morris Sands, John Dick shot and Woody Jensen, none of them really steady hitters.
 The infield has been realigned. Floyd Young is back as a regular at second, and Handley has been shift ed to third, where he still is feud- ing with Brubaker for the starting call. Traynor made the shift be- cause Handley was a trifle too slow for smooth action on double plays at second. Gus Suhr again will cover first base, with Arky Vaughn handling his old job at shortstop. Tommy Thevenow is the only util- ity man.
 Traynor has a corking catcher in Al Todd, one of the few spirited players on notoriously hum-drum team. Todd worked 128 games last year without passed ball, and hit .307. He is strong leader and great competitive athlete. He will be assisted by Ray Berres, up from Louisville, who replaces Tom Pad den as the reserve.

ANCHORAGE - Natural gas from the 7100-foot hole at the Iniskin Drilling company camp at Chinitna bay. is operating a gas engine and generator that furnishes electricity for the entire camp, Tom Reilly said after returning from the camp.
 ''The natural gas has replaced gasoline and will result in a saving of from 5000 to $5000 for the firm this winter" Reilly said. All that was necessary was to run the gas into the manifold of the engine and 1t operated with the same mixture as for gasoline"
 The engine had been running for IT days on. the natural gas when Reilly came here. In the past 75 gallons of gasoline were consumed by the engine each week.
 Pressure in the well has been de- creased by using the gas for this purpose and it is considered prob able that the new connection with the engine and generator will change the plans of camp custodians to use it for cooking purposes.

NATIVE GIRL JAILED
 FOR STEALING $100

JUNEAU - Sam Scott. 40year- old Alaska Juneau miner, was $500 a loser Monday afternoon, and Eliz- abeth Kuntz, 17-year-old native girl was in jail-alI because somebody had misinterpreted somebody elses generosity.
 The girl came to Scott's quarters early that morning the miner told Assistant District Attorney George Folta asking for a place to sleep. Scott said he allowed her to come in, then left his room for a mo- ment. When he returned she was gone. One hundred dollars of Scott's money also was gone.
 Dan Ralston, chief of city police was called in. He found the girl, was about to place her in custody when she asked to be excused to go to the rest room. There, Ralston says, she attempted to throw MT. Scott's currency into a place where it could never again be found 10 be used as evidence against her. But the police were alert, and the money was saved.
 Late in the afternoon, through the intervention of authorities, Scott had his money again, S1O0 of it, less a S5 bill lost somewhere in the ex- ictement.
 But he is satisfied. And Elizabeth is in jail.

PALMER - An alarm was sound ed here recently for Matanuska far mers following discovery Of what is believed the first rat to invade the farm colony. John Hyland gave the alarm after he found and killed the rodent in the basement of the dorm itory building.
 Fear arose that rats might multi ply and become a problem in the valley. Farmers believe their crops would furnish tasty food for the rodents. Log houses with dirt foun- dations furnish many potential rat homes.
 Each freight train arriving from Seward with feed and other com modities for the colony, is guarded carefully in the search for more rats.
 The colonists believe the rats must be imported to the valley from some other point in Alaska. They have declared that Fairbanks has a rat problem and they are also known to exist in Seward.
 The Matanuska Valley Settler has warned farmers Of the importance of killing the first rats arriving in Palmer to prevent their increase.
