me to be a doctor? What's in life
for me? fl
Ans; The medical profession is
not one that you can absorb over
night, lad. Ii takes years of study,
training and practical experience to
become physician, and it's too
much to expect of any friends to
hand you a medical education on a
silver tray. Your only hope then,
is to educate yourself and pay your
own way thru school. liz you have
the courage and backbone to do it,
your reward will be q worth while

woman why doesn't he go to her?
He stays with her whenever he wants
to and then he comes home for me
to fix him something to eat Now do
you think that is right, now tell me-
Ans: Of course its not, but you
say nothing and let him get away
with such stuff right under your
nose. The only way to stop him 10
to pack up and leave or shoe him off
when he somes around. You are
very dear to him, but he has enough
devil in him 10 be an easy mark for
a voiuptuous figure.

G. NJ. H,-Do you think it would
be wise to leave him? We cant get
along.
Ans: And you won't get along,
until YOU conveniently arrange TO
keep one of your best friends away
from your home. Sometimes these
friends get little too chummy with
ones own mate. II will mean the
breaking up of your friendship
but she asked for it.

are through there. you wish to take

Ans: He never will he's too set
in his ways to change NOW. don't
believe you would ever be happy

NAzI COUP
AT DANzIG
MEANS WAR
Prime Minister Chamber
lain Outlines Policy If
Poland Attacked
(By Associated Press

British Prime Minister Chamber
lain, outlining in detail the Gov
ernment's policy regarding tn e
Nazi desires for the Free City of
Danzig, told the House of Com
mons today that any attempt to
settle Danzig's future by "unilater-
al action, organized by surreptiti-
GUS methods" would threaten Po-
lands independence.
Since Great Britain has already
pledged to help maintain Poland's
independence with armed strength,
Prime Minister Chamberlain state
meant that any attempted Nazi
coup on the Free City will bring
a threat of armed Intervention by
Great Britain.
Prime Minister Chamberlain de-
Tended the status quo of Danzig
and said possible improvements in
the situation there might be dis
cussed but he gave plain warn
ing that Great Britain is not in
favor of any negotiations under
taken under pressure to win con-
cessions not otherwise obtainable.

tary of Interior Harold L. Ickes

stand in his deportation hearing,

davits in support of the Govern
ment's contention that Bridges is
"deportable alien within the pur-
view of the deportation laws"

FOREIGN SILVER
PRICE IS AGAIN
CUT; NOW AT IS
Reduction Will Enable
Shipping Of Metal
Across Atlantic

WASHINGTON, July 10. = The
Treasury Department cut the for
eign silver price again today and
set IS cents an ounce as the quo
tation, a figure sufficiently above
the London silver market price to
enable shipping of the metal across
the Atlantic for the first time in
about two weeks.
The 35-cent an ounce price rep
resents a reduction of IL cents
from the last quoted price last
Friday
Treasury officials would not say
what disparity the new Treasury
and London price meant but some
observers commented that the diff
ference might mean the Treasury
will once more intervene to sta
bilize the world silver price.

10 Plunge Into Chill

MASTER OF ALASKA
SAVES ROY WHEELER
Soft Shoulder Gives Way
Four Are Given Icy
Bath in Stream

Capt. John Gus Nord, II, one OF
the last OF the Klondike gold rush
days shippers, and veteran OF many
ocean storms, met his dea n by
drowning in the muddy Chilkat river
at Haines Saturday night when the
automobile In which he was riding
left the road.
Capt. Nord was the guest of Capt.
Roy Wheeler, former mate on tho
Baranof and now skipper of the
Army tender Torrance. Also in the
fatal car were Capt o. G. Ander-
son, master OF the Baranof, and
Pilot H. Luken.
The accident occurred near the
nine and one-half mile post on the
Chilkat River road when the party
was returning from a drive with
Wheeler
On Soft Shoulder
The car left the highway on a
soft shoulder where the river had
eaten into the bank, and the auto
mobile turned over three times, roll
ing down the slope to come to rest
in ten feet of water.
Capt. Anderson pulled Wheeler
from the drivers seat and Capt.
Luken made his own escape through
the rear door All three escaped
with nothing other than severe
shock.
Nord was trapped in the back
seat. His body was recovered at
three o'clock Sunday morning when
the car was pulled from the river.
The body was brought to Juneau
and is at the Charles W. Carter
Mortuary and will be shipped south
on the Baranof next Friday.
Capt. Nord's only survivor is a
daughter in Seattle, Frances Nor
dine.
In Gold Rush Days
Alaskans from the Arctic to Met
lakatla knew Capt. Nord; genial
skillful pilot of the North from
Sweden, who first went to Alaskan
waters as a seaman, long before the
Klondike rush.
Since that time he worked his
way to stripes and is remembered
best as SIX ~per of the old Jefferson
and Farallon and during and after
the Klondike rush. During his long
successful career as mariner, he
met only once with accident when
the first Aleutian, then under his
command, struck an uncharterted
rock in the Kodiak Island area, and
was lost.

HazeIfon Brief Presented
10 Alaska Highway
Commission
ROAD WOULD TAP
RICH MINE AREA
Northern Guides Recon-.
mend Wesfernmost OF
Proposed Routes

HAZELTON, B. c., July 10. -
The Canadian section of the Alas
ka Highway Commission, under the
craftsmanship of the Hon. Charles
Stewart, has before it a complete
brief prepared by the Hazelton
Board of Trade on the proposed
highway from Washington State
through British Columbia and the
Yukon Territory.
The brief, presented by E. j.
Kenney, liberal member of the
British Columbia legislature for
Skeena, said the farther west the
highway is built the better access
it will give to Meziadin Lake, Hyder
and Stewart
1t was said only two percent of
the Provinces population was north
of the Canadian National line but
this district represented more than
half of the Provinces area and
produced II percent of the Pro-
VINCE mineral wealth..
Would Pay For Itself
With increased population and
better highway facilities, the brief
stated, the region would produce
a greatly increased percentage of
mineral wealth and, with another
mine as the Premier, pay for the
cost of the road many times over.
The Commission heard views of
pioneer northern guides who ia
vored construction over the west
ernmost of the two proposed routes.
The western route would take
the road 300 miles almost directly
north from Hazelton and from
there it would angle westward to
Atlin before entering the Yukon
Territory and Alaska.
