That Tacoman is Capt. Roy Hall
skipper Of the tug which left here
two and half weeks ago towing
piles TO Kuskowin bay, to be de.
livered to a fish cannery.
The tug. according to informs-
ton received by Henry Foss. head
OF the Foss Launch 4 Tug Co,
passed the belching Mt. Venism.

As the tug passed Perryville
Capt Hall and his crew Of nine
men had a bird -eye view of the
eruption Of the s.400-foot noun
tain which was named after Ivan
Venisminof. Russian priest
active in missionary work in
Alaska.
Foss explained that Perryville
is but few miles northwest of
the giant firecrscker. The sky
above Perryville and the water in
which the tug was ehuggir &
northward WAS filled with sulphur
smoke and ashes from the vol
cano.
Via messages relayed by short

and was getting some unusual
shots of the crater.
In No Danger
Capt. Hall had planned TO ad-
wise Tacomans of activities in the
northland every IL hours. Mes
sages at midnight Wednesday and
at noon Thursday were quite plain,
Foss said, but, at midnight Thurs
day, Foss was barely able" to
decipher them.
Hall indicated in his latest re-
port, Foss said, that the tug was
not in any danger and that mem
bers of the crew were all fine"
The Matilda was pressed into
service when an emergency
order came from the fish can

sturdy craft hitched to the huge
pile-raft and headed for Alaskan

Elliott Helps
Bison Outfit
Get In Shape

WASHINGTON, D. c.-Perfect
weather and a spirited group of
Howard university gridders greet
ed head coach Harry Payne at the
first call for the preseason prac-
tice Monday morning. Captain
Arthur Elliott veteran quarterback
from Cincinnati, Ohio, was on hand
to lead the Bisons through their
conditioning exercises.
With Cheyney Teachers scheduled
for the first game on October 7,
the Bisons will begin the season
with four weeks of practice under
their gridiron belts. Cheyney
usually presents a scrappy outfit
and the local team looks forward
to a strenuous game. OF the many
new men on the Bison team, only
seventeen are veterans. Some of
the newcomers have shown great
promise and some have sll-star
rating from their hometowns, but
the Older players will get first call

ASK YOUR PHYSICIAN

All people, more or less, look to
the medical profession or the board
OF health for their guidance in mat
tiers concerning their health. In the
recent Polio Epidemic we were told
by them what TO do. We did it,
hence the decrease in cases reported.
So it is in many other instances in
volving our health. But never has
the profession or the health depart
ment so strongly advocated any
sport as they have swimming. They
say Swim the year around for
