HUNTERS BRING
 IN TRUCK LOAD
 FROM KYpERIEN
0berq and Messers Get Amazing List of Game
 on One Week Trip

Oscar Oberg, popular Juneau hal ibut fisherman and big game guide, returned on his boat the Hyperion today with Jack and Alvin Messer, loaded to the guards with game after an eight days hunting trip.
 The trio went first to Pybus Bay for deer, then to Sumdum for ducks and geese, and from there to Speel River in Port Snettisham for goats.
 The bag included seven deer, five goats, 20 ducks, four geese, five grouse, IA ptarmigan and one 8l2- foot brown bear that Oberg was forced to shoot in Pybus Bay when the mama bruin and three children were surprised at Oberg's first deer kill.
 This morning the hunters sur prised envious hunters at home as they drove uptown with their bag loaded in the rear of a pickup truck, filled to overflowing with goat, deer and odds and ends of game.

WEDNESDAY,. NOVEMBER IS

WEDNESDAI NoVENb6tL 10 This is an uncertain day in plane tary government Good and adverse aspects are active. The morning is suspicious for persons in authority and should benefit naval and army officers, heads of government de- partments and all executives. Under this sway those who possess wealth should be wise in bestowing bene- factions.
 Heart and Home: This is fairly promising configuration for women who will be useful serving under the direction of men. Restlessness among young folk will disturb parents, but the older generation should realize that war may reach us after period of conflict in Europe.
 Business Affairs; Buying and selling will be greatly stimulated at this time. Seats of learning which attract American students will be the scene in the next few weeks of prosperity and good cheer. Despite the first effects of war in Europe the next two months will be memorable for the joys that come to young and old.
 National Issues: Changes of front by leading American statesmen re- garding our foreign policy will be apparent. Events of amazing treach- cry in Europe will have strong effect in the United States. The President will gain greatly in general confi- dence as he demonstrates ability to meet extraordinary problems that menace the security of the nation. Although the seers foretell our en- trance into the conflict, if hostilities continue beyond a certain date, there is promise of effective intervention.
 International Affairs: Secrecy will cloak Germany's diplomatic moves. The Soviet government will mask its plans hiding large ambitions from Hitler. Italy will follow a shrewd diplomatic line of high order which may be attributed to the Vatican. Again the danger of an armed peace that may be of grave concern to the Allies is forecast.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of moderate success and more than average hap piness The young should be extra ordinarily discreet in love affairs.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be prudent and clever, orig inal and highly talented. These sub jects of Scorpio reach success by courageouS persistence.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

This week people are thinking a
great deal about Mars. Next Thurs
day afternoon the planet will be the
closest 1t has been in the past Is
years.
When use the word closest"
I mean It only in certain way.
Mars never comes really close to
the earth. On Thursday afternoon
its distance will be little more than
36.OO0.00O miles. In other words. 1t
will be about $50 times as far from
us as the moon.
In most years, Mars keeps dis
tances of $4,000 900 to 100000, 900
miles from the earth.
Mars is about one and a half times
as far from the sun as the earth.
1t does not travel at such high speed
as the earth. Neither Mars nor the
earth makes perfect circle in going
around the sun.
If you like to make models OF
things, you might do something on
a small scale to bring out a few
facts about the orbits of the earth
and Mars. At the center of table,
or on the floor or ground, place an
grange, and let it represent the sun.
Next take a small round object,
say a cherry, and tie string to 1t.
The string should be long enough
to stretch 10 inches from the orange.
In this model the cherry will be the
earth.

Pass
Once in a while a hand is dealt
wherein one vital bid will mean the
difference of thousands of points.
Such a hand is today's, and it is sad
to relate that East and West made
the least of their opportunities.
When the bidding reached five
hearts, West, with his fairly normal
hand, which seemed to indicate three
defensive tricks, naturally doubled.
North, who felt that he could not
only make five hearts but could de-
feat ix-diamond contract, prompt
ly redoubled.
At this point we think East, in
spite of his club ace, should have
rescued to six diamonds, which, odd
ly enough, could have been made
West would have had only to play
the spade ace, then the jack through
North's king, thereby setting up
more than enough spade tricks to
get rid of East's losing club.
While an opening spade lead would
have defeated five hearts, the dia-
mond opening gave South his con-
tract He drew trumps, then knocked
out the club ace. Declarer then lost
only one more trick to the ace of
spades.
Saturday you were declarer and
held Xxx x of diamonds. Dummy
held A Q98x. What was the best
play to win four diamond tricks?
Answer-Lead a diamond from
1 your hand and finesse dummy's
| eight. Next lead another diamond
/ and finesSe dummy's queen. This
play wins whenever your left-hand
opponent holds j 10 X, j 10 Xxx or

Scientists Study Mars

Holding the loose end of the cord
on the orange, you can make the
earth take trip around the sun"
In the world of Nature one full
journey takes a year.
In the same way you can make
your model of Mars swing around
the orange. One full journey should
take almost twice as long as the
earth's trip around the sun.
1t will be plain that once each
year. the earth will be closer to
Mars than at any other time. If
the two planets moved around in
perfect circles, they would come as
close in one year as in any other
year. Their paths, however, are of
somewhat oval shape. The path of
Mars Is more oval than the earth's.
Once in Is to II years, they come
as close together as 35,0O0,OOO or
10000 900 miles. At such times
astronomers watch the night sky
with care, trying to learn more about
our neighbor planet.

doubtedly, he's the most difficult

hold her present job at least as long

Miss Ross listed what she con-
siders the prime requisites for the
job. First of all, she says, a candi-

record of all lines as they are spoken

players occupy in scenes. moves they
make and hand props they handle
And that's just starter.

answer questions about the contents
after it is out of sight, are as valua

Ross lists as duties of a script

Learns About Horses
The Hard Wav

If Claire Trevor ever learns to be
an expert equestrienne or lover of
horses, it will be because she learned
the hard way
When the actress. now sharing top
honors with John Wayne in R-K-O-
Radios allegheny Frontier" first
arrived in Hollywood she was placed
Immediately in a Western picture.
She mounted a horse for a scene,
and it promptly ran away with her.
She carefully avoided horses
throughout her career until her
present picture, when she was re-
Quired to drive a team attached to
wagon. The horses became fright
ened and bolted, finally being hauled
down by Wayne.
If there's anything to this series
of-three business" she says. "the
next experience 1 have with horses
will either break my neck or make
me an expert. I'm hoping just for
the best"
