E Later another young doctor, a
Frenchman, saw some children in
the park playing the game Of trans
uniting messages by scratching with
Ia pin at one end of board while the
receiver of the message listened
with his ear glued to the other end.

he might hear the sounds made by
Fthe lungs by placing { hollow tube
against the chest wall and listening
at the other end. He tried it and the
stethoscope was born.
These methods allowed doctors to
make a diagnosis of tuberculosis,
and they are still used. But some
cases escape them, especially very
early cases.

Urges Huge Army
Navy Secretary Says
Defeat of England
Would Leave United
States "Without a
Friend in the World"

Washington, Aug. IA. lap
Secretary Knox declared today that
the United States, lacking two
ocean navy, needs a huge army
and he urged that one be created by
cCnScription.
Should England be defeated by
Germany, he said we will be left
without friend in the world He

defeat in 60 days was possible.
The Navy secretary appeared be-
fore the House military committee
in support of the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
compulsory service bill on which the
Senate undertook its fourth day oil
debate.
At the White House, President
Roosevelt and congressional leaders
went over the legislative slate con-
sisting chiefly Of defense bills. After
the conference, Democratic Leader
Barley predicted the Senate would
act on the Burlle-W adSWorth meas
ure some time next week. Others
at the meeting were Speaker Bank
head and Democratic Leader Ray
burn OF the House.
At the Capitol, Senator Byrnes,
Democrat, South Carolina, said that
Admiral Harold r. Stark, chief OF
naval operations, had asked a SEN
ate appropriation subcommittee to
increase by S47,OOO,O00 the funds
which would go TO the Navy in a
pending S4,963,000,000 appropriation
bill. The increase would be used for
ornaments, for fighting planes and
for aviation maintenance.
Before the house committee, Knox
asserted that the nation faces "a very
grave crisis"
None in this country can tell the
trend of the battle for Britain, he
said, because information from bel
lieerents comes through officially
controlled communicates.

 M0ves0uf : On Saturday
Exact Time Is 3:27 p. M.- Juneau Girl, Clara Ran-
 son, Is Sole Winner

The crack that all Alaska await ed, came at 3:27 o'clock last Sat- urday afternoon as the ice in the Panama River began moving at Nenana, bringing a prize of ap- proximately $80,OOO to Clara Han son of Anchorage. She is the sole winner of the great ice guessing contest as no one was on the exact minute. She had 3:28 o'clock and that was the number of her ticket. This was the earliest break in the Nenana ice moving history by five days.
 Miss Hanson, 2l, is petite blonde stenographer and clerk in the Aeronautics Authority office at Anchorage. She was born and raised in Juneau and had lived here all of her life until recently when she went to Anchorage. She is a graduate of the Juneau High School and the daughter of Capt. Magnus Hanson, owner and opera tor of the halibuter Explorer, oper- ated out of Juneau. It is reported she is to marry a United States Signal Corps wireless operator.
 It was lucky day for the Han son family. Mrs. Hanson, who is on the staff of the Federal and Ter ritorial Building, won minute guessing contest which reimbursed her to the sum of SIP.
 There were many guessing pools in Juneau. The American Legion pool of 5000 was split between Art P. Seybold, George Simpkins and Nellie Simpkins.
 Albert Vile won a pool at the Hotel Juneau.
 At the Baranof Hotel pools of $60 and $50 were won by Brooks Hart ford and Fred Guelin, respectively.
 Kenneth Martin won two pools at the Imperial Pool Room and an- other was one by Mrs. Fred Jaegel.

 Informed legislators said they understood that the Army has def initely confirmed that Russia has constructed bases on the Siberian coast less than 100 miles from Am- erican- owned islands in the Aleu- tian group which extends south westward from Alaska.
 These sources indicated that Gen. Gorge c.

The House turned down the request
