 Although the activity is not as great the valley is still spectacular" !" he said "It will always be one of the wonder spots of America"

 "It appeared much the same as the famous Crater lake in Oregon when we flew over it Been said "The water is deep blue and crystal clear. The only difference between the two is that the Katmai lake is smaller.
 Been estimated it to be mile and a half long and a mile and a half wide Three other peaks were ob- served to be smoking. One of them. Mount Magiek. is higher than Kat mai
 The Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes is about 15 miles long and from two to five miles wide IL is unique in the whole world as a gol- eanic phenomenon because the en- tire floor of the valley was made up of an upwelling Of millions of ineandeseent sand.

Citing the geographical similarity between illfated Norway and Alas ka from a defense standpoint. the Alaska northwest emergency de fense committee was organized in Seattle last week end and urged inn mediate steps be taken to construct the international highway linking continental United States and Alas ka.
 A resolution was introduced by Dr. K. H. Falkenburg. representing the Seattle Norwegian Commercial club. asking for immediate eoustruc- ton of the highway. He said Nor way could not be defended by the British navy because of coustricted water He pointed out Alaska could be defended only by air and sea. and because of storms and low visi- b-lity so much of the time along it's thousands of miles of seacoast. ade- quate defense by water is problema- tical
 The committee said. "The cost Of the proposed highway. an estimated $25, 100000, is a small item in the total defense commitments For AL aska, it would furnish a military supply depot al Hazelton, in British Columbia, the northernmost point of the continental rail system, there by meeting the main requisite of military strategy - speed of surface transport. Supplies and munitions for war could be forwarded to Fair banks in two days instead of the sev- en or eight days now required. Lo- cation of the highway behind coast al ranges makes it immune to dt- tack.

QUICK MARRIAGES
 IN EFFORT TO BEAT
 DRAFT HAS BARRIE

The threat of eonscriptiou may be hurrying young couples into marriage. But in at least 30 states there are laws that require more than spur-of-the-moment agreement by the parties before the knot can be tied.
 Some States require a waiting period after intention to marry Is announced. Others require pre-marI- tai health tests Some require both.
 Most of the laws fixing waiting periods are directed at the so-caIled "Gretna Green marriages which have aroused public opinion in var ious sections of the country, accord ing to the Council of State Govern ments.
 Twenty-three states require eith- CT advance notice of intention to wed before a license will be issued or a waiting period between issu- anee of the license and the mar- riage
 Eighteen have pre-marital health test laws. eleven of these also hay ing statutory waiting periods.
 Longest waiting period is six days in Rhode Island Shortest is q hours in Delaware
 States with 5-day waiting pc rfod-Connecticut, Georgia. Maine. Massachusetts, Michigan. Minnesota. New Hampshire. Ohio. Mississippi. Vermont. Wisconsin.
 States with 3-day period-Cali- fornia. Illinois New Jersey. New York. Oregon. Pennsylvania, Tennes- see. Washington. West Virginia.
 Maryland alone has a 2-day wait ing period.
 Several states subject non-resi- dents to delays
 Pre-marital health test laws were enacted primarily as health meas ures, but they have also served to hinder nasty weddings.
 Health test laws are in effect in Indiana, Pennsylvania, Virginia. Colorado. North Carolina. North and South Dakota. West Virginia. Connecticut. Illinois. Michigan, New Hampshire. New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rrode Island. Wisconsin.
 Tennessee and Kentucky have en. acted such laws to go into effect in 1941.

OF Labor Perkins went 345 feet un-

tions in the Missouri Kansas Okla
homa tri-State lead and zinc mining
area.
She came yesterday to check up
on a report by the Tri-State Survey
COMMITTEES Of New York, issued sew

charged silicosis was prevalent and
that many of the miners lived in
squalor. Silicosis is lung disease
caused by rock dust. q
The secretary watched miners at
work in the Ballard mine of the
st. Louis Smelling and Refining
Co., two miles southwest Of Baxter
Springs, Kans.
She said she would name COM
mittee to explore the possibility of
a compact by the three States to
control working conditions in the
area.
You have made some progress
she told operators, "but you still
have part of that problem (work-
ing conditions) with you.

talked with three miners, all of
whom said silicosis had afflicted
most of the members of their FAM
lilies, and with three widows who
said their husbands had died of sill

Wood rats belong to a very large
group and are to be found dis
tributed nearly all over North
America. They are easily recognized
because they have a slaty coat, pure
white under parts and a heavily
haired tail, which is, Of course, most
unusual for a rat. In fact, the only
one they may be confused with is
the Norway rat.
Wood rats, no matter where you
find them, adapt themselves to their
surroundings and make the most of
their opportunities. They are not
scavengers or plague distributors.
They are Of very different genus
from the common rat and should
not be thought of as animals that
are to be feared or disliked, for
