Miss Joyce will remain until April when she wlYl return to Taku lodge, the summer resort she owns 10 miles from Juneau.
 To reach here, Miss Joyce travelled by dog team, airplane, boat and train. Her dogs had been in the air before, but they never had travelled on trains or boats, She said the dogs did not get scasick, but they resent cd being caged and were anxious to have fresh air.
 Until Miss Joyce arrived in Seattle, railroad officials were con- cerned how to transport the nus. kies to Sun Valley. They did not know whether the dogs were caged or on leash. It was planned to use "privatc baggage ear,' when would have been horse-car.
 IL was feared the dogs would fight If they were not separated by something like the stalls In Q horse- car, However, with the dogs In cages they were consigned to the express company,
 River Pilot and Flyer, Too
 In addition to her skill as, Q musher, Miss Joyce Is an expert pilot on the Taku river, c licensed radio operator, an airplane pilot ana movie star,
 Miss Joyce made movie last summer soon after she passed gov- ernment tests to operate the gov. ernment radio station KAJT last June, The picture, which has not been released will probably Dc called Golden River"
 The scenes were made in the Taku region where "'rhe Call .of the Yukon" and "rundra' were made.
 Dog teams are used both winter and summer in Alaska, They are tho principal mode of transporta- lion in many regions, In summer the huskies are used to pull carts.
 Miss Joyce trains her dogs her. self tshe has 10 others she left ia Alaska). She said 1t only takes Q few days to train them. They're crazy about work. They're the only human beings that are." And that indicates how she feels about the huskles, She's proud of them and will tolerate no risparaging remarks.
 Three Teams on Scene
 The dogs Miss Joyce brought made tho third team here. The other two teams each have eight dogs and leader. One Of them, like Miss Joyce's, Is a regular Alaska husky team while the other Is an Idaho sled-dog team. The huskies are hitehed in pairs with the leader in front. The sled-dogs are hitehed in single file.
 It was suggested comedy Miss Joyce, who is not c bit the brawny muscular docking person you might expect to see, may find men hiring the dog team, and not taking c girl.
 Modestly she replied, After all, I'm just q mushcf."
 She entered the Grand Alaska dog -team sweepstakes at the Fair banks ice carnival in 1888. She was the only woman in the race and she finished, while many men drop- ped out.
 Miss Joyce was 27 years old when she completed her 1000 mile trip to Fairbanks on March %, lo36. Her actual travelling time was b2 days, although she started Dec. 22, ie3S. She averaged about 2b miles a day, but she stopped along the way several times.
 When she arrived in Fairbanks, she delivered 10 the mayor letters she carried from Juneau. The Fair. banks Ice Carnival Association pre- sented her with & silver cup foot high. bearing Q suitable inscription about her accomplishment. Mss Joyce used only five huslsies on that trip.

ROTARY SPEAKER

Continued from Page One)
Straits of Florida. no longer forms
a true part of the frontier, as in
a military sense the Gulf of Mex
leo is now an American lake.
mo discussion of the strategy
of the Caribbean would be COM
plete without some reference to
the Gulf of Mexico. which lies be-
hind it, communicating with il
through the Yucatan Channel
This channel is we'll commanded
from Key West, 800 miles distant
from its center; Key West also
lies directly upon the Straits OF
Florida, the only other entrance
to the Gulf. 1t is therefore a post
of particular Importance to us,
and its Notifications, which are
now in charge of a mere main
tenance party, ought to be placed
on an active basis, as should the
small naval station. The value of
Key West as a point of departure
for car-ferry service to Havana
has been lost as a result of the
hurricane which destroyed the
Florida East Coast Railway over
the Florida Keys; a motor-road,
however, has now taken the place
of the railway, so that Key West
becomes once more a link in the
communications of Guantanamo.
''In a war in the Caribbean,
the Gulf ports would unquestion-
ably be a principal SOURCE of
supply, having the advantage of
a protected line of communica-
tons as against the exposure in
cident to the line to the north
ern ports. While inqalmost all
respects this situation is ideal, it
must be noted that a damaged
battleship could not enter any of
our Gulf ports for docking, Cloth
because of lack of docks and in
sufficient depths at harbor en-
trances) but would have to be
taken either to Norfolk or Bal
boa. There is indeed Except at
Balboa no dock fit even for
cruisers in the whole Caribbean
Gulf area; destroyers may be
locked at New Orleans or Girls
tobal. At least one first-class
naval base ought therefore to be
provided somewhere on the Gulf
coast, even at the expense of
dredging an entrance channel"
Guests present were: Lieut.. A..

serson, Lieut.. j. G.. Foster. Lieut..

production of water color paint
ing by Wing, San Francisco

The first reproduction proof
print of this painting, First Les
SON., that came from the press
was sent to Madame Chang Kai
Shek in Chungking, China, and
was carried westward to the in
land capital by a Pan American
Clipper ship on July %, from the
air base at Treasure Island.
The second copy was sent to
the wife of the President of the
United States, Mrs. Eleanor
Roosevelt, whose sympathies
for the Chinese are we'll known.
This particular reproduction of
the painting signed by the artist
is limited to one hundred. They
are being sent one each to the
first hundred cities having or
ganized for aiding the civilian
population of China.
Mrs. M. E. Berkowitz, chair

piled for membership. He fur
Their brought out that he had
