Sick? Eat Candy

DEL MONTE, Cal, April 1.-The use of candy and interrupted sleep to treat a disease which is the op- posite of diabetes was discussed be- fore the Pacific Coast Surgical As sociation here by Drs. Howard F.. West and Maurice Kahn of Los An- geles.
 The unusual treatment was used against adenoma of the pancreas, a nonmalignant tumor which causes a decrease in the amount of sugar in the blood.
 The two surgeons said the nib bling of candy prevented patients from becoming lethargic. The pa tient's sleep was interrupted every few hours to prevent him from lapsing into complete unconscious ness.
 Drs. West and Kahn said, how ever, this treatment did not effect cure. Permanent relief, they said, coul abe obtained by surgical re- moval of the tumor.

 Display in Juneau

San Francisco's loss was Juneau's gain today as set of seven large photographs, described accurately by Bradford Washburn as grand set of enIargements." arrived as a gift to the Territorial Museum.
 Washburn, Harvard professor and explorer, intended the views as an exhibit for the San Francisco fair, but the idea fell through and the huge photographs were donated to the museum. a
 They arrived today, fully prepaid even to freight and wharfage, as the gift of the Agfa Ansco Corpora tion, which made and framed the 38 by 50 inch enlargements, and will be hung by Father A. P. Kashe- varoff, Museum Director, on the only seven places on the museum wall large enough to accommodate them.

 Washburn took the photographs last year, four Of them from the air. The subjects are Mt. Mckinley, Mt. St. Elias, Mt. Logan and Mt. Sam ford. Three others show the Ester Creek dredge of the Fairbanks Ex- ploration Company and the pattern left by tailings from the operation.

Alaska Sheep Raiser Is in
 Seattle Now

tCealble b-1lltCiiSCtSSt/
 He lives at Ogden, Utah, and he raises sheep at Umnak Island ir the Aleutian chain and last fall his company shipped out 10000 pounds of wool. s e.
 But he isn't a long range sheep rancher, even though it would so ap- pear. For c. c. Eubank, President of the Aleutian Livestock Company spends only a few winter months at his home city and the rest of the year in the North.
 He is in Seattle now as part Of a buying trip whereby he will secure needed supplies for the summer and plans to sail on the Columbia of the Alaska Line May 30.
 Started in 1926
 Sheep-raising in Alaska on com mercial scale started in 1926, Eu- bank said. Eubank and associates took over the pioneer company in 1880. the herd at that time number ing 4,00o head. At present the com pany is running 10,500 head.
 Sheep-raising in the North is quite different from that of the American plains country, Eubank explained.
 We use no sheepherders at all he said. ''The flocks are controlled by natural barriers and fences and require no daily attention except during lambing time, when the ray- ems are particularly destructive.
 Ravens occasion us the greatest losses, as they not only kill many lambs, but even fuli-grown sheep There are big flockS of them and they gang up on the animals, Eagles also kill few but are not so bad as the ravens" s.s..ss
 The company employs four mer the year around and during the summer six to eight additional foi shearing. a o rrs
 Bred for Wool x
 Wool instead of mutton is the main idea, since there is no chance now to dispose of the meat. Fol this reason breeding is for quality wool and high-grade Oregon sheer are being run with the origina flock. which has now become ac- climated Wool from these animals is long staple of excellent quality.
 Besides the sheep the company maintains a herd of beef cattle numbering about forty head. Thes' are being kept in reserve as a DO tential meat supply should naval o other developments near Umnal warrant. Twenty head of horses art used in connection with inspecting and checking over the flocks Q. sheep, since the entire island | under lease and it measures sixty nine miles long with an average width of ten miles.

STUDENT AIR
 PILOTS MAY
 TRAIN, ALASKA
By J. J. ECKLEs

Secretary to Delegate 1timond WASHINGTON, April f.-(Special Correspondence) Extension of the Presidents program of student pilot training to Alaska, Hawaii. and pos sessions of the United States was taken up for discussion at confer ence on March 28 in the office of Robert H. Hinckley. Member of the Civil Aeronautics Authority, by Dr. Ernest Gruening, Director of the Division of Territories and Island Possessions, Delegate Dimond of AL aska, and Delegate King of Hawaii.
 For proper rounding out of stu dent flight training, Delegate Di- mond emphasized the need for ex- tending the program to Alaska in order to assure a fair number of pilots receiving experience in flying under conditions peculiar to the North. He also pointed out the po- tential value in any proper plan of defense in having a reserve of pilots who are familiar. not only with northern flying conditions, but with the Alaska terrain.
 The program is being initiated at this time in the States by the Civil Aeronautics Authority in 13 selected colleges and universities through an allocation by the President of $100,- 900 from National Youth Admins tration funds. The 12 schools chosen for this demonstration phase were selected on the basis of pioneer work that they had done in aeronautical engineering and in actual flight training of their students. In this stage of testing the plan it is ex- pected that 330 students will receive from 35 to 50 hours of flying in struction each during the present semester. Students selected for the training are between the ages of IS and 25. Under the plan contracts are awarded to private operators for the actual instruction of the stu dents at all the selected schools after submission of bids to the Auth ority. A fee of $35 to $50, covering laboratory expenses and insurance is paid to the university by each stu dent taking the course.
 Each student is given a classroom course on ground school subjects, covering Civil Air Regulations, and navigation and meteorology. The course will prepare the student for a private pilots license.
 If this demonstration phase proves to be as successful as it now appears that it will be, the next step pro- posed by the Civil Aeronautics Auth ority will be to extend the student training to at least one college or university in each State where there is sufficient interest in the course to make it feasible.
 MT. Hinckley and other members of the Authority indicated their in- tention to include the Territory of Alaska if the expanded program is undertaken It does not appear like ly that student flight training will be taken up in any more of the States or in Alaska before com mencement of the fall school term next September.
