ther up the river was another bad place.
 Here I was in serious trouble. Breaking through the ice over a deep channel, where I could reach no bottom by sounding with my eight-foot geepole, the dogs had to swim to get the sled out. What really saved my life was Tige. The dog had been sick and I was not using him in the team, but let him follow behind While I was work ing with the sled he managed to get up ahead of the team and really coaxed them along.
 The sled floated but with me standing on the runners, sank down behind until the water was ;omine through the front of my pants. But it kept the nose of the sled from catching under the ice It was quite a struggle, for we had about 100 feet to go before we reached solid ice.
 The dogs never would have made

Women 5 Clothing Blamed for Many Deaths, h.
 suranee Opinion
By HOWARD w. BLAKESLEE
 AP Scie-ce Editor

NEW YORK. Feb. Women's s clothing is to blame for about 1900 American women burning to death annually =
 These victims of feminine dress fashions are listed by the statistical bulletin of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. W
 Tt would seem by this time" the bulletin states, that people would have learned how to use matches safely and to smoke without en- dangering their lives and the lives of others
 Yet, in this study, matches and cigarettes hold third place as the cause of setting fatal fires to wom- ens clothes. Stoves, furnaces and grates rank first, and inflar1ma ble liquids second. The liquids are both those used for cleaning textiles and for starting fires in stoves.
 Last place for firing dresses goes to candles. Next to last are the widely-used electrical utensils of the household.
 The trend of loss of life from feminine clothing is downward. This the bulletin attributes to the steady modernization of American homes replacing oil and gas lamps with electricity and coal with gas and electrical stoves.
 Chemists have begun to produce fire-p -proofing for flimsy fabrics, and this seems to be the best hope of the future of cutting down the dress fire fatalities. ,~a

All They Have toDoin New York Is to Observe People
Rv GEORGE TICKER

NEW YORK. Feb. 8.-It is It. tie things like this that explain why fiction writers in New York merely observe people and find their plots without having to wrack their brains.
 Noel Mills is an actress I don't know her, but they say she is quite pretty. Not so long ago her mother tore page from the New York Times to wrap a small pie ttlre' in. She was putting it away in a drawer when her eyes hap pened to fall on a paragraph in the personal column, which was on that page. The paragraph asked information as to the whereabouts of her daughter Someone, it seems, had left her considerable amount of money.
 The plot now thickens While ali this was going. on Noel was being auditioned by an agency for part in radio show It was a pretty good lead. If she made it, she would be signed to a fea- tured role.
 But the addition had to be held on Thursday night and that was the night her mother had ar ranged for her to interview the attorney for the estate. What does a gal do in a situation like this? Give up her chance for glory-or perhaps risk losing handsome legacy?
 We'll, money talks, even on Broadway, and so Noel begged off from the addition and claimed her estate. To do this she had to go to Montreal, come back to New York, and go on back up to Can ada. It took a lot of attorneying and travelling to make things nice and legal and fool-proof
 When it was satisfactorily set tied she was morosely wonder ing about her interrupted career when this same agency telephoned her again. Apparently satisfac- tory player had not been found, and to her delight, she was se- lected.
 What made it even more than personal experience" to Noel was that this show was The Court of Missing Heirs" a show that spe- cializes in finding people who are missing, but who have legacies coming to them.
 They say you have to be every thing from a good business man, to a SWingali, to become sue cessful orchestra leader. I do not know whether these characteristics have influenced Glenn Miller's rise. but can tell you he is one of the most dnfailingly courteous men you have ever met
 The other night in the Cafe Rouge, in the Hotel Pennsylvania, where he is playing, Miller sud- denly stopped playing after only two numbers. I suppose the danc- CTS were disappointed. But at this moment Miller stepped to the mil crophone. and said "Ladies and gentlemen f want to apologize for playing such a short dance set, but we are going on the air in a couple of minutes, and if you will be patient till then we will have a half an hour of dancing"
 Just that. Little words to his audience. He didn't have to say anything, but he did. :. I heard one girl say to her escort, Wasn't that nice of him?" Maybe it is things as this that help explain Glenn Miller.

New Tax Planes
Are Tipped Again

WASHINGTON - The house
ways and means committee voted
late Tuesday to amend the pend
ing tax bill so as to raise a greater
amount of taxes. perhaps ap-
preaching $1,000, 5000 year,
instead of the 1886, 0o0,000 first
proposed.
The revised bill would increase
the national debt limit by S4,-
0o0, 900, 900, instead of $1,000
100000.
President Roosevelt indicated
indirect support for the larg-
est tax bill.
Chairman Robert l.. Doughton
announced the committee decision
after a secret session. He said no
decision had been reached as to the
method to be used in increasing
the yield of the bill.
Roosevelt said the more the
United States can raise to pay-as-
it-goes. the better off the country
will be financially in the long run.
