SAFE GAS
Frozen Fuel to Lessen
PerilS of AUiation

NEW YORK, Jan. 16 G.N.SO.
BY the simple expedient of freez-
ing gasoline to 100 degrees below
zero, Assem- Jordanoff, a Bulgarian
World War ace, today offered the
world a remedy against disastrous
gasoline fires in air crashes and
the high wartime toll Of planes
from incendiary bullets.
BY means of a special cooling
mechanism, the gasoline is frozen
solid and then heated to normal
temperature just before it enters
the combustion chamber.
Jordanoff, completing final ex-
periments at Roosevelt Field, said
the chief values Of his discovery
would be to preclude gasoline fires
that sometimes accompany air
crashes and to prevent the igni-
ton of gasoline tanks by incend1-
ary bullets during air duels.

A. M. A. Still Opposes
Sickness Insurance

With leaders of the American
Medical association still opposing
compulsory sickness insurance,
President Roosevelt's interdepart,
mental committee spent all yester-
day in working out final details of
its $4,000, 0,000-a-year national
health program.
In a radio address last night,
Senator Robert F. Wagner of New
York said he proposed to introduce
a bill to carry out the recommenda-
tions of the interdepartmental
committee. He described the pro
gram as a blueprint for con-
gressional action" and declared
"the health needs of our people
can no longer be ignored"

While the full annual cost of the
program will amount to $85 ,00O,-
900 at the end of a 10-year develop
ment period, the committee eSti-
mates the cost of the first year
could be held to $65 100000.
The conferees, including the
A. M. A. representatives, headed
by A. M. A. president, DR.. Irwin
Abel, will talk with President
Roosevelt at the White House to-
day. The President has announced
he will send the committees re-

message recommending national
health legislation.

other children in the family were
married, and I stayed with mother.
So, you see, mother and the job
were contributing factors, as well
as the missing girl"
The Glamour Girl Is Out.
Mr.. Hoover's ideal girl is not the
cocktail-drinking, cigarette smoking
glitter girl. He said:
"The girls men take out to make
whoopee with are not the girls
they want as the mother of their
children. I am not criticizing the
so-called glamour girls. They are
attractive in their way, but they
do not appear to me to be real or
sincere, and they do not measure up
to my idea of what a girl should
be. I have always held girls and
women on a pedestal. They are
something men should look up to,
to honor and to worship. If men
would remember this and keep
them there, married life would be
better. I have had that idea about
women all my life.
"And here is something that I
will confess" continued Mr.. Hoover.
IF I ever marry and the girl fails
me, ceases to love me, and our
marriage is dissolved, it would ruin
me. I couldn't take it, and I would
not be responsible for my actions.
There, now you see, how much I
think of marriage and of finding
the right girl"
No Particular Type.
The old-fashioned girl whom Mr..
Hoover has chosen for his dream
girl is of no particular type. To
him she is just a girl who combines
very feminine traits as we'll as a
practical trend of mind. She must
be sincere, genuine, dependable and,
above all, she must be understand
ing. For as the head Oman says:
ANY woman married to an F. B. I.
man must have that quality. Work.

Old-fashioned or modern, girl
who plays tennis or likes deep sea
fishing stands chance Of making
O. hit with Mr.. Hoover. These are
his favorite sports. He processes
fondness for the sun.
Here are some tips for the girls:
Oman Hoover likes to talk. His
hobby is collecting antiques. Be-
cause he is head Oman, and takes
good picture, he is the target for
news pictures all the time. But,
he says:
Cameras scare me to death. I
become to self-conscious I can
hardly pose. This has worried me,
because have had my picture made
so often that I should be used
to it by now, but I am not. 1t
was not until some movie stars came
here to see me and we had our
pictures taken together that I felt
better about the whole thing. They
were more nervous than I was!"
The idea that their nervousness
might be caused by being "shot on
the spot" with the Oman of the
F. B. I. never occurred to Mr..
Hoover.
So, practice on the fashioned

Sudden Invasion of Fin land by Russia Cause
 New Worries

WASHINGTON, Nov 30.-Secre- tary of State Hull greeted President Roosevelt at the Railroad station today with a fresh group of neu- trality problems arising from the Russo Finnish hostilities.
 The President returned from a vacation in Warm Springs, and im- mediately took up study of the Neu- trality Act in the light of the new conflict in Europe.
 The Finnish declaration of a state of war is regarded as increasing the probability that the month-old Neutrality law may be invoked. If fully invoked, the law will prohibit United States ships from trading with either Russia or Finland-al- though Russian ports in the Far East lie far away from the theatre of war.
 Both officials appeared grave at the situation abroad

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30-Gov. John w. Troy of Alaska has recom- mended in his annual report to Sec retary of the Interior Harold l.. Ickes that full Territorial govern ment be conferred upon Alaska.
 More than ever I am convinced the people of the Territory are prepared to exercise mtelligently and capably those primary rights of self government which were con- tained in the organic acts of earlier Territories" the Governor declared.
 Governor Troy asked Interior De- partment aid in coordination of ag- encies necessary to establish radio telephone network to provide rellef in cases of illness and other emer- gencies and recommended head quarters of the Alaska branch of the Geological Survey be transferred from Washington to Alaska.
 Aviation Development
 Further development of aviation in the Territory is also recom- mended.
 The Governor reported the total value of the Alaskan gold output was $23, ,170.0o0 in 1898, an increase Of a million dollars over any previous year. He said the value of the Territory's mineral output for the year was $28,6O7, 900. It was .$26,- 989 GOO the previous year.
 The Governor reported SO new corporations were established dur ing the year.
 Highway Feasible
 Governor Troy told Secretary Ickes the proposed International Highway which would join Alaska and the United States was feasible from an engineering standpoint.
 Exports to the United States de- clin d to $72, 1898 in the year which ended June 30 from $81, BOG, ,036 in the previous year. The drop was caused chiefly by decreases in fish cries exports and in copper ore. Attention was called to the forests of the Territory which are said to be capable of producing more than 900 900 tons of newsprint annually.

 The triple attack came less than day after Rus sa broke off diplomatic relations with Finland and less than two days after she unilaerally denounced the Finnish Russian nOn-aggreSsiOn pact
 The attack came also, less than two months after Russia made her first territorial demands upon her little neighbor and Finland refused to yield to Russia as had Latvia Estonia and Lithuana before her.

 The Department listed 400 Unit ed States citizens living in Rus sia.
 United States nationals were not warned to leave either Russia or Finland prior to the outbreak of hostilities, but it was pointed out that some of them may have re- turned to the United States on the outbreak of the European war last September.
