RUSSIA REPORTED EYEING ALASKA

Russia wants to regain it's one time possession, Alaska. That, ac- cording to Matt Kuzmanich, is one of the reasons voiced in Yu- goslavia for the pact between the Soviet and Hitler.
 Kumanich, a United States cit izen for 20 years, is a native of Yugoslavia one of the Balkan na tions and recently returned from Europe after war was declared. In YugoslaVia, he said, the people believe the Russo-German pact was signed with the ultimate end that the Soviet and the Nazis will conquer the world and out of this Russa expects 10 get Alaska, which lies near Siberia.
 News was released in Yugoslav ia that war had been declared and Kumanich, his wife and son lost no time in leaving the coun- try. Four days later they were on the Italian Rex bound for home. Although he was in Italy only a few days it was long enough for him to see that the Italian people do not like Hitler and want to stay out of the war, Kumanich said.

Famous Mystery Mine
Is Located in Arizona

Discovery Of an old Spanish mine
in the heart Of rugged Superstition
mountain leads Arizona prospectors
to believe that the search for the
Lost Dutchman mine, reputedly the
wealthiest gold mine in the West, Is
nearing an end.
The abandoned Spanish mine
possibly an offshoot Of the Lost
Dutchman-was found by Marion
Walker, prospector, who filed five
claims on the property and called
them the Lost Dutchman, No. l, 2,
8, 4, and S."
The discovery was verified by
Barry Storm, writer and adventur-
er. who for three years has been
searching for the lost mine, and Wal
ter Epson, a mining engineer. Up
son and Storm visited Walkers dis
covery and said there was no doubt
the mine contained an "unbelieva-
BILE store" Of gold.
The mine is located about ia
miles from Weaver's Needle, a tow
ering rock formation listed as a
landmark on every existing map Of
the Lost Dutchman. The four en-
frances to the mine, which is hidden
in small box canyon, were almost
buried beneath rock and shale, prob
ably the result of an earthquake
years ago.
Epson crawled into some of the
passageways of the newly discov-
cred workings and said he had found
evidences Of high-producing ore
which might assay more than $10,-
600 gold a ton.
Although the engineer believed the
mine was fabulously wealthy, he
said he was mot certain" it was the
famed Lost Dutchman.
The Lost Dutchman mine, believed
to have been part Of the early Span
ish workings, has been the cause Of
countless legends and many explora-
tons for more than so years in the
desolate Superstitions.
In the late 1840s, Apache Indians
attacked the Spanish miners, mas
sacred them to a man and covered
the mines. The rich workings re-
manned buried until spring Of 1871
when one of them was discovered
by Jacob Wall, a German immi-
grant.
Wall, although he had promised
to divulge the location of the mine,
died of pneumonia before he could
fulfill that promise. Since then the
mine has been called the Lost
Dutchman."

Strong Rayon Cord Tire
Developed by Scientists

A rayon cord tire which is 5000
per cent sturdier than standard cot
ton, has a higher tensile strength
than structural steel, and ran 3d.
900 miles under conditions which de-
stroyed an ordinary tire in 5000
miles. was recently described to the
American Chemical society.
William H. Bradshaw, director Of
rayon research for E. I. dupont de
Nemours & Co., said a new rayon
developed specifically for tires has
produced astounding results" in
road tests involving millions Of
miles. On an overloaded, high-speed
run in hot country. Mr.. Bradshaw
said, the rayon tires gave $4,000
miles of service in circumstances
that wore out ordinary tires after
5000 miles. Having a higher tensile
strength than structural steel, the
new rayon is twice as strong as
ordinary textile rayon.
The secret of it's strength is it's
ability to maintain strength in high
temperatures, being as safe from
blow-outs at los degrees as the Or
binary cotton cord tire is at rs de-
grees.
The chief weakness of ordinary
cotton fibre tires lies in the fact that
in a single length of cotton cord
there are at least 10000 cotton f.
bres," Mr.. Bradshaw said. land that
means $4,000 breaks in the continu-
ity of the structure. Strength de-
creases as the number of twists
goes up and the twist must be put
in in an attempt to overcome the
inherent defect arising from these
60, 900 breaks"
The rayon cord is continuous
filament of rayon which completely
eliminates this handicap and per-
mits whatever combination of twists
in singles, phys and cord may be de-
sired to obtain the utmost in re-
sistance to fatigue, rupture and 9TH
er failure" he said.

Poor Me. How can l change
my life for the better; why do l
have so much to take when l do
everything l can but always get
the bad part?
Ans.-My friend, as long as you
take the attitude of "poor me" you
won't ever see a change. Plying
yourself is one of the worst pun
ishments that you can bring on
yourself. Why do you allow your
self to always come out on the bot
tom, for people to run over you,
and you to be imposed upon? Stick
up for your own rights enjoy
life, learn to love everything about
you and life will certainly be more
pleasant for you.
G. F. C.-Have read your col
umn a long time. Tell me if l will
get the money that l am expect
ing?
Ans.-Yes but it will not
come to you in the immediate fu-
ture. There will be considerable
delay regarding this money, but
you will eventually get every cent
that you are expecting.
III. J.-Have been married for
eight years. At times my husband
is cross. Must I forgive him and
try life over again or leave?
Ans.-Married life is one FOR
GIVENESS after another. Of
course you must overlook his cross
disposition. When he gets in these
moods pay little or no atten-
ton to him. Go out of your way
to comfort and please him and he
won't have so many of them. If
you pout when he pouts then your
entire married life will certainly
be a sad experience.
J. F. XVIII you please tell
me is it really true that this wom-
an my husband is living with has
