Lusty KIondike Is stilled

The lusty Klondike, where men
killed each other for gold and gam
bled away their fortunes on green
topped tables in smoky saloons, is
all but buried today beneath the
gray muds deposited by 40 years Of
foods. DR.. Lowell R. Laudon, pro-
fessor of geology at the University
Of Tulsa (Oklahoma), painted that
picture in describing his experiences
in a hiking trip from Skagway over
Chilkoot pass to Lake Bennett at
the headwaters of the Yukon river
last year. A lone trapper lives in the
ghost area today. Sodden gray piles
of lumber, almost completely over
grown with the dense Alaskan vege-
tation, mark former camp sites. Be-
meath tumbled roofs lie wreckage of
crudely made furniture, harnesses,
packs, wagon wheels, sleds, oars,
and other gear discarded after the
collapse of the golden bubble.

Champ is the worlds first flying

He travels with his master, Gene
Autry, in special plane with most
of the interior furnishings taken

front of the plane and Champ rides
with his head forward near the
tail of the plane in a regular stall
with straw, just like a stable.
He arrived at the Washington
Airport with Mr. Autry yesterday
on his way to rodeo engagement

Moscow Magazine
Honors Franklin

Much information on the atti-
tude of 18th century Russian
society toward Benjamin Franklin
is contained in a recent issue of the
magazine International Literature,
published in Moscow. In an article
to mark the 15Oth anniversary of
the death of the envoy of the colo
MES, A. Startsev alludes to Franklin
as the great thinker and theological
and practical leader of the American
Revolution
Among the great men of the
18th century" Startsev continues,
Franklin is one of the most orig
inal and likable personalities. A
self-taught genius. brought up in
the poor environment of handicraft
workers in the remote British trans
oceanic colony, he achieved world
renoWn and brought European en-
lightenment to America, only to
become the connecting link in
carrying the experience of the
bourgeois revolution to Europe"

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Oct. 9-Authoritative
circles indicated today the British
government was considering follow
ing the example of the United States
by advising British subjects to leave
the Far East.
These circles said the warning
would apply to all British who had
no "urgent reasons" for remaining
and indicated 1t would apply to the
same zone as a similar warning by
the United States Government to
its citizens.
British circles declared the re-
ported Japanese troop landing at
the North China Sea island of Liu
Kung was not focal point of diff
ferences between Britain and Japan
and should not be allowed to over
shadow what was described as the
basic cleavage brought out by ia
pans alliance with Britain's axis
enemies.
The island in the North China Sea
where Britain had a summer naval
station was described as of no "stra-
tegic importance"
Reports from Shanghai said yes
terday that Japanese naval forces
had landed on the island. refusing tc
recognize the renewed lease on the
island given Britain by the Chinese
government at Chungking.
A British spokesman said the gov
eminent had forwarded to the JAP
anese "our reservation of rights or
! this island"
The informant added that Britain
only leased some facilities on the
island from the Chinese and used il
merely as a summer rest center
for the navy.
Britain had been planning, he said
to remove what personnel and stores
were on the island.

Autry's Flying Horse, Champ,
Injuries Self on Wet Ramp

beneath the wings of the plane for
protection from his flying hoofs.
Slipping and sliding on the wet
ramp, Champ smashed the rails and
cut himself on foreleg and neck.
Police tried to drive back the
screaming crowd as the horse reared
and kicked. A small whip. several
ropes and Mr.. Autry inside the
plane had no effect for half hour.
Bleeding in several places and
shaking, Champ finally made it with
the help of rubber mat. He had
been getting in and out of the
plane at all the other 10 stops,
but the rain in Washington made
the ramp slippery.
Representative Nichols, Democrat,
of Oklahoma was in the crowd to

Bankruptcy or Initiation
Forecast in Spending Course.

If 1t continues down the present
oath it will eventually bankrupt
this country We are bound TO
have either bankrupt or imitation,
and I say it very solemnly that
those who are now paying IN on
their Social Security will never
get the principle of the Social Sc
curity when they need it in their
old age unless this administration
Is removed from power. It's like a
person paying premiums into a
life insurance company that's be-
coming bankrupt. The premiums
are paid, but the principal is never
collected back from the bankrupt
insurance company.
What I want to do about social
security is to conserve the Federal
resources so that when those who
are paying in on social security come
to the time in life when they need
benefits that the Government will
be able to pay them and not then
be bankrupt.

a lady who wants to see good jobs
instead of relief. l am glad to be

3. When the representative of the
firm who produces this package was
IN town recently she sang long and
loudly about its virtues, and from
here it looks as though therell be
a great many women joining the
ranks of boosters. E. And did we
remember to tell you that it's very
inexpensive?
And while we're on the subject
OF good values we think you'll be
interested in another new item
which combines practically with
luxury in most successful man.
ner. -. 1t seems that Well-known
cosmetics firm recently discovered
that many women like to buy their
perfumes in small quantities, but
they also want packages that look
as pretty as the more expensive
size. =. So, being smarties, they de-
clded to create miniature models
of their larger bottles and have
duplicated the packaging and quail
ity to perfection. Thus the woman
who can afford small quantities cam
have them in good-looking bot
tie in a choice of three fragrances
and in small, originally sealed
package at a low price. i. . And that
idea makes news-or so it seems
to us.
Other improvements-w full
OF EN- today-have come along from
the manufacturer of lipstick which
attracted great dea. of attention
when it was introduced some time
ago. The lipstick really stays on
come food, drink or affection-pro-
vided you apply it in the proper
manner. Merely apply the point
of the stick at right angle to the
lips, leave on for five minutes and
then wipe off the surplus-and It's
said that the color lasts for hours
literally. Anyway, the new i'm
provement is in the form of a beau
tiful new brilliant red color-per-
feet with your other true scarlet
cosmetics. The second innova-
ton is the case which suddenly
startled us by being a bright red,
almost as gay as the lipstick. :.

HlQuen IN Lne pyramids, alone. Prob:
ably because they couldn't find all
the pyramids.
Wanderers later stumbled over a
monastery (Huejotzingo) constructed
by the monks in 1880 out of ma
terials from existing pyramids built
by the Toltecs. 1t was full of carv-
ings. And the bas-reliefs gave front
and side views of a little dog
resembling the Chihuahua of the
present day. That pyramid is near
Mexico City. Another has been un-
earthed in Yucatan, where a similar
tale is carved And so on. Wherever
the Toltecs built they left the same
type of evidence Most of the plaques
show the little dog as being blue in
color.
He was national institution. as
he was religious necessity. The
Toltecs called him a ''Techichi."
When some one died, one of the
breed was sacrificed on the funeral
pyre. And it was the dogs job, in
the spirit, to guide the soul of the
deceased to its final destination.
Then the Aztecs crossed from Asia
into Alaska, by way of the land
bridge that is now the Bering
Strait. They journeyed through
North America into what is now
Mexico, and conquered the Toltecs.
With them they brought their own
little hairless dog. But they had a
different version of the use of
the canine, for they used it as a
healer" Since the hairless dog
has hot skin, the basis for this
belief is evident. Look at the hot
water bottle! Anyway, the Aztecs
took over the Toltecs and the hair
less dog was crossed with the
"Techichi," producing what is now
believed to be the Chihuahua.
Civilization was flourishing, when
along came Cortes, in 1919.
Montezuma lost everything. His
whole nation was laid waste IN the
search for gold and jewels, and by
the mania for religious reform. Be-
sides, he was being discovered and
his land claimed for the sovereign
across the sea. So, of course, his
dogs, as well as those of his mobiles,
received slight attention of the af-
hrmative sort. They were lost for
generations.
And then, in 1850, some of the Chi
huahuas were found in the ruins
OF one of the Incas' palaces. Which
isn't so amazing considering the
climate. That palace was near
Casa Grandes. Other pups may
have existed throughout the land
as individuals, but until that find
the breed as whole had been lost.
AS was almost everything else of
magnificent civilization.

Here's a delightful new design
created with real feeling for
youth and charm-a style to fit
into your immediate plans and be
your joy and pride in the spring,
too. The blouse is softened and
made to look particularly young by
gathers beneath the yoke and at
the waist, and a deeply notched
shirtwaist collar. The belt ties in
saucy bow at the front. The skirt
is made with IL cores and flares
gracefully.
Every slim, petite young miss
should have not just one but sew
eral new blouse-and- outfits
like this, With bright top and
a dark skirt it will look charming
under fur jackets and heavy coats,
as well as in cruise pastels and
prints. A wool crepe skirt and tie
silk blouse would be extremely
pretty. Flat crepe and flannel are
other good choices for now. And
just think how you'll enjoy it next
summer in gay cottons.

Dorothy Dix Says
Principal Reason Daughter Stays
Unmarried Is Due to Mother

Offices are happy hunting grounds
for women anxious to marry.
Another prime promoter of spin
sterhood Is Mother. There are
plenty Of possessive mothers who
will not let their daughters marry
because they want to keep them to
be slaves to themselves. There are
other mothers who prevent their
daughters from marrying because
they want the money their daugh-
ters earn. And there are still other
mothers who keep their daughters
from ever having suitors by hang
ing around the girls necks and
plainly showing the young men that
if they married their Sallies they
would also marry Mother.
Other mothers quarantine their
daughters against marriage by never
letting them have dates, or 60 to
parties, or do any of the things the
other young people are doing, and
who thus prevent them from ever
getting acquainted with any men.
If mother treats every young man
who comes to the house as if he
were poison; if she sits in the room
where she can eavesdrop all of his
conversation; If she makes her
daughters come home at 10 o'clock
every night just when the party is
starting, she needn't worry about
her daughters marrying and leav-
ing her. They will hang on the
family tree.
And, finally, there are many girls
who would like to marry, but who
never do because for some inscrut-
able reason they lack charm for
men. The world is full of women
who would have made wonderful
wives who are old maids. They are
the kind of women that every man
recommends to other men as wives
but never takes himself. They are
pretty. They are intelligent. They
are sweet-tempered. They are do
mestic. They have every charm and
virtue but the one to which men
rise as trout to a fly. They lack
oomph. And so they have "spinster"
carved on their tombstones.
