Appropriation for Reindeer Purchase for Natives Lost

All efforts to have the House con cur in the Senate amendment to provide $1,070,0O0 for the pur- chase of all reindeer and equip ment in Alaska owned by others than natives failed when the amendment was voted down in the House on May first.
 The reindeer item had been the subject of much controversy since it was first included in the appropriation bill of the Depart ment of the Interior when it was brought out by the House Con- mittee on Appropriations. The item was stricken on point of order in the House, but was again inserted in the bill in the Senate. Rejected now by the House as a Senate amendment the item is definitely lost for this year.

Film Is "Alaska's Silver Millions"

More than two million school children and adults throughout the United States have seen the scenic grandeur and fishing act ivitieS of Alaska through Al aska's Silver Millions" the sound motion picture produced by the American Can Company in CO., operation with the canned sal mon industry.
 Now being shown to school classes and to club groups, ITS prints of the picture are current ly being exhibited in the United States. The sponsors of the pie ture estimate that each month of the school year, 300 people view each print. This means that ap- proxlmately 10000 people see the picture each month.
 Isabel N. Young, home econ- omicS director for American Can Company, recently stated that the film has been so popular with school and clubs that as early as last November, all prints of the picture were booked up for all available showing dates until June.
 "AlaSka'S Silver Millions" was first released for distribution in September of 1886. The comment ating of the picture is done by Father Bernard Hubbard, S. J., widely known as the Glacier Priest" The picture is approxi- mately fifty minutes in length, with the first half devoted to the usual scenic beauty of Alaska, The mild climate of Southeastern and Central Alaska, and the ag- ricultural opportunities are en- phasized.
 The second half of the picture shows the annual salmon run, and the fishing and canning activ lties of Alaska's salmon industry. Exciting fishing scenes are shown and explained by the comment ator. The care taken in canning the salmon is ilhIstratde. The unique life cycle of the salmon IS also explained.
 Besides showings for clubs and schools, the film has also been

Mirow Planes Assisting

Pilot Jack JeffOrd accompanied by his brother Bill Jefford, mech anic, left Nome last night via Unalakleet for the Alaska Steam ship boats Columbia and Suther- land, both held up by ice. .. . The Columbia called for a plane to locate. open leads for them as they were running short Of water. -..... ---... -----. ..--..- .-.- From UnalakIeet, the plane took a westerly course, north of St. Michael, finding the south half of Norton Sound still solid with ice. At midnight the plane reached the position of the boats. Taking nOrtherly course over an open lead, which they found to be about 40 miles long and at the end encountered a badly broken up field of ice about 15 miles deep. From there on into Nome the sea seemd to be fairly clear of ice.
 At l1:25 Monday morning the plane took off again on a course toward North East Cape on St. Lawrence Island, reporting their position every fifteen minutes. in cluding ice reports. Mirow Air Service Aeronautical Ground Sta tion's last contact with the plane was at 1912 this afternoon and due to local radio interference was unable to contact the plane again until 12:55 when the plane tried to work the Columbia dir ect by radio, but on account of static the messages had to be re- layed via station WXY, Nome.
 At 1:35 pm. the plane had a definite lead established thru the ice and headed toward Unala- kleet for refueling and planned on meeting the boat at the end of the big lead, helping it thru 6 miles of broken ice, which seems to be the only chance for the boats to get thru, for the present.

 Reports from many cities in which "Alaska's Silver Millions" has been shown are that 1t has not only resulted in increased in tereSt and knowledge of Alaska, but that it has also had a bene- ficial effect on sales of canned salmon dn these cities.

On the first floor are two rooms
which will be used by my assistants.
These rooms are lighted by IL win
dows, and all told in the studio there
are 26 windows. A year ago I was
thinking OF building glass house"
and while this one isn't all glass it
certainly has plenty of glass in it.
One room on the second floor will
be a special place for writing, and
in it I shall have my desk and type
writer table, also several rows of
built-in book shelves. Perhaps there
will be room for a thousand refer
ence books; I'm not sure of that, but
at any rate the shelves will be
handy.
The other second floor room is to
be kind of laboratory, with one
or more microscopes. and with tables
on which to place materials for
projects of one kind or another. l
wanted to have a telescope on the
roof of the studio. but the tall oak
trees nearby would block good view
of the sky, so I shall postpone the
telescope for a while.
I like the woods, and I know I
shall enjoy working in this studio.
Hardly 300 feet from the building
is the shore of a beautiful lake.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Now that we have finished our
series on Men Who Build Houses"
I am going to tell you a secret. One
of the things I have been doing
lately has been to work on a little
house of my own, a four-room stu
dio!
I haven't had time to labor with
hammer or saw, plane or plaster
trowel. and I'm sure 1 couldn't have
done such a good job as the men
who have been handling these tools
IN putting up the building. Yet I
have "worked"-first in planning
with my architect, Mr.. Lewis Siberz
who knows a great deal about such
things, and later in choosing con-
tractors, and in changing my mind
q little.
The word studio" came from the
italian language and means "a
study" That is what this building
Is going to be. and great deal more
It will be workshop where I shall
write our column, and where shall
prepare new books.
The studio has two stories, with
A.. two rooms on each floor. There also
is basement containing forced
air gas furnace-we must be warm
enough when the weather is cool!

one more attempt to get to game,
which he did by bidding two no

Now North simply bid three

grain of sense North's bidding should

Therefore, please quit before we get

tionally fire hand"
= South, however, said to himself
MY partner has bid hearts three
times. He must have at least a
solid six-card suit and surely one
outside trick. That's a total of
seven tricks, and if can get my op-
ponents to lead up to my king of
diamonds, that will be the eighth
trick and my ace will prove to be
the ninth"
On this somewhat peculiar rea-
soning South bid for game in no
trump, and when East doubled

ners were we'll content. Sure
enough. South made his king of dia-
monds and also one trick in each of
the other suits so that the entire
penalty amounted to only 1,400
points.

there is one species found on the
southern coast of New England
that is the exception to the rule
and makes rather large Jumps Of
coral This is the Astrangia dance,
or the northern coral polyps.
You must hunt for it on the
under side of overhanging rocks,
and if it is not there search in near
pools that always have some water
in them.
The living animals are white, and
when they expand they rise high
above the cells and spread circle
of long, slender, wart-incrusted
tentacles which are fitted with en-
larged tips. When you see these
coral polyps you are at once re-
minded of small white sea-anemones
out seeking their prey, because they
seize their victims in the same
fashion and transfer them in the
same way to their mouths. These
creatures are not at all unhappy
in laboratories, and they can be fed
on small bits of mollusca or crus-
tacea, whichever you have, or both.
The coral forms patches that are
more like incrusting scales from 2
to 3 inches across and not more than
one-fourth to one-half inch in
thickness. These patches are really
made up of many corallets packed
close and having stellate cells not
more than an eighth of an inch in
diameter.
You can see what an unusually
shaped creature this polyps turns
out to be. When the animal is dead
the softer parts soon are washed

very intriguing subjects for study.
There are many creatures residing

they may be sought without danger
to life or limb.

very beautiful when, at feeding
time, they appear to burst into
