Longest Pontoon Road

The longest pontoon road in the
world is the much-traveled path Of
planks over Hooghli river, between
Calcutta and Howrah in India. The
plankS are laid on boats. Each
boat has two anchors upstream and
one downstream, to hold it in place.
This roadway is even elastic. Dur
ing floods or high tide, additional
boats and planks are inserted in the
middle to increase the length of the
bridge, and let it stretch with the
river.

Near Nude Girls ai
 Worlds Fair Ordered To Strip Even More

NEW YORK, Aug. 10-The near nude girls at the New York Worlds Fair looked forward to many more brassiereless days to come.
 And the fairs high command, which once decreed that it's show girls must be fully clothed, appar- ently planned to do nothing about it because of tagging attendance.
 Girls in most of the amusement zones show slipped off their bras sieres after Norman Bel Geddes, producer of the Crystal Lassies ex- hibit, ordered his performers to strip to the waist in the interests of modesty. Brassieres, he ruled, were vulgar and indecent.
 Disappearance of brassieres came gradually-like strip tease. At first the fair management ordered full uppers, but did not oppose conces- sionaries who decked their perform CTS out in flimsy, transparent net coverings. And when Geddes decid- ed that even the nets were vulgar and obscene" the rest decided to go along.

 New Industry Here

A struggling, but thriving indus try isf the little floating cannery near Hoonah that is operated by O. H. Wood and Mrs. Frances Warning.
 Wood and Mrs. Warning are in Juneau today aboard Woods craft Valkyrie, getting supplies. Mrs Warning, whose daughter Mrs. E, L. Kaylor, of Tacoma, has been visiting in Hoonah this summer will go south with her daughter and granddaughter Sunday for a visit in Tacoma. h 'H
 s Their floating cannery, about a mile and half from Hoonah, IS unique in that it is probably the only cannery in Southeast Alaska that packs the heavy meated and delicious king crabs that are nor mally canned in Westward and Der ing Sea areas. the bulk of. the Jap anese crab pack being of this var iety. saanea ir F
 il Wood has prospected many Icy Strait areas and has discovered considerable quantities of king crab, fishing them in deep water.
 He and Mrs. Warning and few native women hands can Dunge- ness crab also. taking them later in the season. In between canning of king crab and iDungeness, they can a little salmon.
 But Wood has one trouble. He needs crab fishermen with their own equipment. and says he can make it possible for crab fisher men with their own gear to make a comfortable living in the Icy Straits area. Apparently, nobody In the Hoonah district at present is interested enough in crab fish ing to take their own gear out, or fish consistently-and bring the gear home-when they are fishing with Woods equipment.
 Wood has another opportunity for few weeks. Mrs. Warning, who
 upervises their few cannery hands and the packing, will be going south for a trip and Wood needs middle-aged woman to take her place.
 Although Wood admits his busi- ness is not large at present, le hopes to expand considerably - md if all of his Hey Straits" brand of king crab tastes as good as the giant sweet flakes he served an Empire reporter this morning, his industry will soon be an important phase of Southeast Alaska can- ming.

 NEW YORK, Aug. 10.1Miss Eil-i lian Spaulding is going back to, Three Rivers, Mich, and say to her seventh grade boys: This is the way that Gomez holds the ball to throw his fast one"
 And when the youngsters have caught on, she's going to say: And this is the way he holds it to throw his curve" Df @e 1sss.
 Miss Spaulding knows.
 She came all the way to New York to find out. She gave one of Columbia University's deans the surprise of his life when she ap- piled for admission to the summer school class of advanced baseball coaching at Teachers College, Co., lumbia
 Columbia authorities wondered why a middle-aged school-marm would want to take course Of Is lectures by major league players and managers, designed for high school baseball coaches.
 Knew What She Wanted
 They tried to discourage her But Miss Lillian Spau d in g wouldn't be discouraged. And she wouldn't change her mind. She knew, did Miss Lillian Spaulding, that back home in Three Rivers the kids were crazy about base ball They asked for bat and ball as soon as the frost was out of the ground
 Once a week we have regular coach but on all other days we teachers have to supervise the ball games during play periods" she explained. And I've always want ed to be able to tell the boys in my seventh grade just how to correct their diamond faults.
 Baseball is major interest in our boys lives and I'd be missing great educational opportunity if I were not interested in holding their interest in it," she said.
 When I finish I'm going back and get my boys in the playing field and I'm going to say to them This is the way Joe Gordon plays his second base position"
 Miss Spaulding says: T don't know why can't teach 'em."

He'II Try Anything Once

BROWNSVILLE, Ky, Ang. 10.- George (Tarzan Claiborne, 12, is getting a good start toward the hard luck" championship.
 Three times he's been near death. He's fallen off everything from wagons to trees.
 When three, George fell from a moving farm wagon. The back wheel passed so close to his head it mashed part of his hair into a rock in the road.
 A year later, the boy was in an automobile that rolled suddenly down hill into stream. The car door flew open and George fell out but his clothing caught in the door handle and held him suspend ed over the water-deep enough for him to drown-until help ar rived.
 Then, when less than six, George fell from a tree. He escaped with a broken leg.
 A football game supplied him with a broken nose. Recently he fell from a grapevine at picnic Both arms were broken.
 The lads father, Patrolman Jim Claiborne of the Hopkinsville po- lice force, says George stays in hot water because he'll try anything once.
 T had to call him down once though" the father said. He was climbing trees and jumping in. the river. He couldn't swim in the frs; place and the water wasn't deer enough for diving in the second place.
