man. Each time after his nightly forage the man returned to his home before the ravens called and secretly enjoyed, while lying a-bed. listen ing to his mother-in-laW berate him to her daughter for his laziness and boast of her kindredship with the spirits of the sea that gave her food for her people. She even went so far as to have a mask made for herself calling it, Food-Findine Spirit, and a hat made Of animal claws to prove her prowess.
 Salmon. halibut, seals, whatever she told the villagers she would bring them her son-in-laW, over hearing, would go out at night and capture to make her promise good.
 One morning when the mother in-law went down to the beach and found a whale her egotism grew be- yond all bounds The mans wife was greatly saddened by her mother 8 treatment of her husband but the man warned her to remain silent and not to help herself to any of the food which he caught. Whatever she gives us we will take he said. He further warned his wife that if ever he did not return before the ravens called and she found his body on the beach in it's sea-monster skin, not to remove his body but to put it Up in the place by the lake where he used to hide the monster skin and it would bring her luck.
 Whales Too Much
 A few nights later, while swim ming about under the water looking for a nice fat salmon for his mother in-law, the man encountered two whales. An, here indeed, was al prize to make his mother-in-laW gloat. He killed the whales and, talk ing one under each arm, headed with them for shore. All night heI struggled along with his tremend- uous load, swimming and dragging the two whales with him but, alas, when he was within sight of the beach and even almost upon itsI sandy shore the ravens called and he died
 His wife, in her home, heard the ravens call. She recalled what her husband had said and, crying, ran down to the beach followed by her mother-in-law and the whole vii lage. There, she saw the two dead whales with her husband, in hisI monster skin, between them. TheI people were amazed when the wo- man began calling this strange mon

 Ever since il has been considered good luck for anyone who sees Ko- na-ka-det, whether it be in the lake back Of Wraugell or in river or in the sea. To see his wife also brings good fortune. as is, too the sight of their children, "the daughters of the creeks who live at the head of every stream and river

Then, after the monster through it's struggles in the trap, had worn itself out and died. the man skinned it and. get ting inside the skin, he found il swimming away with him down. down to the bottom of the lake to the monsters former home under the lake. It proved to be a very won derful home.
 After several such excursions, the man seereted the monster skin in hollow tree where he could use it at will and returned to his wife and mother-in-law in the village. How ever he told no one. except his wife, of his experiences at the lake and warned her to keep her counsel.
 Winter came, then spring and with the spring came famine. Food in the village became very low. At last, one evening the man told his wife that he was going away. But, ' he promised, "I will be here every morning just before the ravens are awake. If you hear a raven call be- fore I return you will know that l am dead"
 Going back up to the lake where he had left the monsters skin he put it on and found that he could make his way to the sea down a large stream. Swimming under the water, he found a large salmon which he caught and threw out on the beach close to the house where he, his wife and mutner-in-law lived. Then he returned the monster skin to it's hiding place in the hollow tree and crept down to the village and to bed.
 Mother Boastful
 When morning came his mother in-law went out and found the sal mon, and, thinking the tide had left it there, carried it home and cooked it for the hungry people of the village. She Was very boastful about her Tuck" and took pains to chide her son-in-law for his lack of ambition, when fish could be found on the beach, for sleeping so late in the morning.
 The next evening the son-in-law went fishing again in his monster suit. This time he left two salmon on the beach for his mother-in-law to find. For days this went on until the mother-in-law began to believe that he had spiritual powers to ind food for her people and the villagers began to look upon her as sha-

But, when she showed the people that her hus- band was truly inside the monster skin, their fears turned to sym pathy Because they thought this monster had swallowed the husband. they called him Ko-na-ka-det. The daughter then exposed her mother for the duplieity she had practiced on the villagers.
 All the people of the village helped the daughter carry her dead husband Up to the hollow tree by the lake That is. all but her mo- ther. She was so ashamed that she stayed in her house and died.
 Ends Happily
 Evening after evening the young wife went to the foot of the tree containing her husbands body and wept. One evening us she was cry ing inconsolably, she saw a ripple on the lake. The waters parted, cut

Beside the Bear totem, in front of Shakes Community House on Shakes Island, stands a totem about alike in size with tne Bear totem. On this totem squats the image of a man with a whale on his head He is Ko-na-ka-det. (pronouneed, Ko-na- ka-day) which, however, did not become his name until after he became a sea monster. And, hearing his story, one takes it that he was also something of a Puck of In- dian tradition.
 The right to use certain images on their totems was acquired by the Tliagits, not so much through any brave or outstanding deed of a member of the tribe, but, rather, by what we would consider supernatur- al dealings with spirits, known as Yek, lo the Indians. For them the sea and the forests, the mountains and the rivers were peopled with many spirits. They talked to their halibut hooks, encouraging them to catch many fish. They talked to the spirits of the trees they fe1led to make their homes and canoes. The forests were peopled with animal spirits, the streams. rivers and sea Were the abode of myriads of mar inc wraiths of the deep.
 This man, who later became Ko- na-ka-det the monster, was of high caste and was married to a high caste woman of another village. His mother-in-law, who lived with them, disliked her son-in-law very much for she thought him a lazy, good-for- nothing fellow, interested in noth- ing but gambling. The mother-in- law eXerted herself at all times to make sighting remarks about him in an attempt to shame him before other members of the village.
 When summer and the salmon season arrived the entire village went fishing. The man accompanied them, but, for some unexplained rea son, took his catch of salmon to a lake up back of Wrangell, the h. dians tell you, and built himself a hut of dry wood.
 Caught Monster
 He had been told that there was a monster dwelling in the waters of the lake and, perhaps more curious than anything, he made trap with which to capture the creature. Fin ally, the monster was caught and

Rene thought she was the prettiest

PARAMOUNT is paying out
i quite a lot of money be-
cause it's not safe to take a
chance on an elephant = or
rather, on a herd of elephants.
You see, though Hollywood
has plenty of practically ev-
erything else, it's short on
elephants; rounding up a
thousand unusually pretty
girls would be child's play compared
to putting your hand on dozen Of
the animals just when you wanted
them.
That's why o. c. Stratton, Para
mount property department head,
has arranged to feed II of them
from now until next summer, when
the filming of Moon Over Burma"
is scheduled to begin.
The elephants belong to the de-
funct Hagenbeck and Wallace Cir
Gus, whose receivers agreed to keep
the stock on the West coast If the
studio would foot their board bill. So
the pachyderms are quartered at
Camarillo, Calf, devouring dollars
worth of hay daily-and it is hay
while preparations for Moon Over
Burma" goes on. The story opens
in Mandalay and shifts to the teak
plantations of Rangoon, where the
elephants will be shown hauling the
heavy wood, while Paramount for
gets about buying hay and just pays
rental fees.

and pretend you're at home listen

field, the air waves ''Mirandy"; and
Cliff Arquette, who's likely to bob up
on almost any broadcast.
Bill Phillips, of the Warner Broth
ers studio, reduced % young girls
to tears the other day, and got paid
for it. You've guessed why, of
course-he's the makeup man on
"An This and Heaven Too" and
they were shooting the scene in
which Bette Davis tells her pupils
the sad story of her life and makes
them cry. So Phillips stood of at

the girls, and they wept buckets-full
of tears, right on schedule.

THAT MILLION-FOR-HITLER
OFFER

VI In
Mr.. Samuel Harden Church,
The Carnegie Institute,
Pittsburgh, Pa.
Dear Samuel:
have read your offer of million
smackers for the capture of Adolf
Hitler and in reply would state
that the proposition interests me.
But do not like the way you empha-
size the part about his being caught
"alive, Unwounded and unhurt.
What about me?
However, If is novel idea and
the most original business proposal
of a decade. I know of no cash Of
fer like it since the depression and
II is good to know there is a man in
this country who knows where to
get a million dollars these days.
For that much money there are peo-
pie who would do anything. The big
drawback is that Hitler has got such
a big start, and I don't think it
sporting to limit the offer to May.
This is pretty short notice for grab
bing a guy who has been on the
loose so long, and besides, May is
hard month for the capturing bust
ness on account of the birds and
bees and little green things furnish
ing so much distraction from any
pursuit. Could you extend the time
through June?
