 Mayor Harry Lucas and Joe Crosson. General Manager of Pa cific Alaska Airways, accompanied Lee on the trip, but said Lee made not comments on the project.
 Col. Lee said the present flight to Alaska is merely the extension of a survey tour of all proposed air base sites in continental United States.

Conrad, President of NEA, Recalls Trip with
 Harold Gillian

Harking back to 1888 when he and Don Eek made scouting toui of Alaska play out the National Editorial Association convention w. H. Conrad, President of the NEA, yesterday sent a telegram from Juneau to Harold Gillian, in recognition of what Conrad de- scribed as wonderful flight" the pilot made for the two so they wouldn't miss their boat back to the States.
 Conrad and Eek were stranded at Fairbanks when the PAA Electra on which they had planned to re- turn to Juneau left day ahead of schedule in anticipation of bad fly ing weather
 At the expense of Capt A. E Lathrop and Volney Richmond, h. terior business men, Gillian made a special trip in a six-year-old Pilgrim plane from Fairbanks to Juneau by way of Mccarthy and Skagway
 Badly Scared
 We were badly scared" Conrad said. because of the conditions around the mountains between Mccarthy and Skagway because o1 the tough head wind, and because of our fear the gas supply would not get us to Skagway. But when we reached Juneau we realized that we were in extraordinarily good hands and that the plane was per fectly safe"
 Conrad. who has done lots of flying in the States, from one coast tc the other and from South Texas to Minneapolis, in all kinds of weather, said he never saw a plane handled as well as Gillian did his Pilgrim that day.
 As Gillian was at Point Barrow the day the NEA visited Fairbanks recently on the tour which Conrad and Eek were plotting at the time of the flight in May, 1888, Gillian sent this telegram:
 Telegram
 Harold Gillian, Point Barrow Was sorry you were away when we visited Fairbanks Monday as had hoped to make an Arctic hop with you stop many pleasant memories of my Juneau trip of last year as vice president are being revived now as prez with the large party stop always happy landing for you, Gillian w.

 The survey work yesterday was done with the aid of the Coast Guard Cutter Alert.
 Col. Lee returned with his ship from Sitka yesterday afternoon after lunching and comforting with Capt. Cronin, commandant Of the Navy seaplane station, and making 8 cursory survey of the potential Army landing field at Gustavus, on the right hand shore going in to Glacier Bay.
 While on the way out to the Gulf today, more careful survey was to be made of Gustavus as a landing field possibility, With Capt. Gibson to take number of aerial photos.
 Col. Louis Johnson, Assistant Secretary of War, conferred with Bill White, Juneau mall carrler and the Parker brothers Of Straw berry point at Gustavus, all land- holders there, while in Juneau on his survey flight last summer.
 At that time, considerable inter est was evinced in the broad Hats of Gustavus as logical airbase site for the Army, presumably to cerve as an auxiliary base for the large Fairbanks base considered as definitely decided on by most ob- servers.
 It is understood that for Army landing field requirements, an area at least a mile square should be available for pair of cross-run- ways at least one mile long and 66O feet wide.

Garibaldi Paved Way for
Union of Sicily, Italy

Recorded history of the island of
Sicily, which is the largest in the
Mediterranean sea, begins with the
establishment Of the Greek city Of
Naxos in 735 B. c. This, with otlAar
Greek colonies established in the
course of the following two centuries
became the center of thriving COM
merce. From the year 536 B. c. until
the period of the Punic wars, Greeks
and Carthaginians contended for mas
terry in the island, notes a writer in
the indianapolis News. In 90 b. c.,
Sicily became the first of the Roman
provinces.
During the Middle Ages Goths,
ByZantines and Saracens in succession
held sway. At length, in 1000, the
Normans made conquest of the land,
and Roger III became king of Sicily in
1130. From the close of the Thirteenth
century until the Treaty of Utrecht in
1713, Sicily was ruled by princes of
Aragon and by the Spanish crown. In
1874, under Don Carlos, the kingdom
of the Two Scilies arose, uniting
Naples and Sicily under a Bourbon
dynasty, Garibaldis bold expedition
in 1860 opened the way for the union
Of Sicily with the kingdom of Italy In
1861.

Bandits Blood May Aid
in Capture of Criminal

Identifying criminals by drops of
blood accidentally left behind during
pursuit or at the scene of crime,
instead of by the finger prints which
cautious crooks usually fail to leave,
is suggested editorially by the official
Journal of the American Medical AS
sociation.
BY subdivision of the four main
blood types recognized several years
ago in connection with tests of blood
for transmission, it now is possible
TO distinguish at least 16 different
kinds of blood
Suppose that criminal is wounded
crime or that for some other reason
a few drops of his blood are left be-
hind and fall into the hands of the
detectives. To which of the 16 pos
sible types of blood these telltale drops
belong can be determined by labora-
tory test. This may not convict the
criminal, but it does automatically ex-
clude all suspected persons whose
blood is not of the proper type; some
thing which might greatly tighten the
labor of detectives in following up
clues.
Surgeons with questionable morals
have devised more or less successful
ways of changing or obscuring finger
prints, but since it is hopelessly i'm
possible to remove all the blood from
hn6U n nd
kind, there presumably is no chance
for anyone to change the blood type
with which he was born.

Magpie, Handsome Bird,
Is Native of Mountains

The body of the magpie is about
the size of that of crow blackbird
but the long tail adds eight to ten
inches, so that the total length is from
10 to 20 inches. Its colors present a
strong contrast. The head, neck,
breast, back and thighs are deep
black. the top of the head green
CLOSED wings and tail glossy, with
violet and other metallic reflections; !;
shoulders Of the wings and under parts
pure white.
This striking and handsome bird,
says a writer in the Montreal Herald,
is seen everywhere from the Plains to
the Pacific coast, from the borders of
Mexico to northern Alaska, and it
breeds wherever it lives, not being
migratory, though wandering about in
winter in small troops, which keep in
the shelter of timber for the most part.
It's original and proper place is in the
mountains, where it makes its home in
wooded valleys. As the Plains be-
came more settled and cultivated it
wandered farther and farther from the
hills and some years ago began to be
seen in Manitoba, where now it is a
permanent resident.

days of long ago. The last of the
great fighting mOnarchs was John III,
who ruled Poland about 800 years

Unlike most rulers, he did not inherit
his title, but was elected king in rec
ognition of his great services to his
country. He was born John Sobieski,
son of a Polish nobleman. Almost his
entire life was spent fighting the enc
mics of his country-Turks, Swedes,
Tartars end Russians, all of whom
coveted his cOuntry's fertile plains.
In single year he won 20 pitched
battles against the Turks, and once
was victorious in a 17-day battle, in
which his forces were outnumbered

Girls Of Provencal Pop
Question in Novel Way

Following medieval custom, Pro-
vencal girls pop the question" writes
an Avignon, France, correspondent in
the Detroit Free Press.
The young woman makes delicious
Provencal cake called "fougasse."
Then, she places it with jar of wine
somewhere outside her house. In fact,
certain old houses have inches in
the wall made especially for this pur-
pose by the builders.
When her prospective husband comes
along, he eats the cake and drinks the
wine. Finally he leaves token in tbs
niche, usually silken sash or scarf.
This is his way of saying, "Will you
marry me?" She answers the follow
ing Sunday, simply by wearing the
scarf, Cor whatever it was) when she
goes to church A few weeks later the
weddlag bells ring out.
But, if the Provencal girl pre-
pared the "fougasse" as a joke, if she
considered it only as a pleasantly, she
says mo- to her lover by offering him
a handful of oats.
Holding up the bridal party after the
wedding is common custom in Pro-
vencal. A flower-decked rope is
stretched across the street and kept
there until the bridegroom pays toll TO
Cupid's highwaymen.
Further, when a French girl marries
a young man from another village, her
old friends barricade the road until
the groom has treated everybody to
drinks. Instead of resenting this Gus
tom, the bride judges her popularity
by the size of the crowd that stops
her.
