GATE CREAKs

Late that night the gate in
the fence creaked open, and a
small car drove in. A woman
entered the house. In a SUBJ
dued voice, she spoke TO my
jailers. l recognized her by
her footsteps.
She was Petra Petersen, the
GPU operative in the Copen-
hagen telegraph building, and
my former hostess. Without
reliminaries she stomped into

Wyntoon, McCloud, Calf.
Dear Mr.. Hearst:
THE month OF July this year
will mark the 200th year
since Alaslxa's discovery by Vitus
Bering. Now that the u. s. gov
eminent at last Is paying attention
TO the strategic position Of this our
great northern jewel box and en-
pire with Its unforeseen possibili-
ties, would 1t not now also be
opportune, Mr.. Hearst, to have
your wide publications make the
general public more familiar with
the discovery and history OF
Alasks--to many people this terri
tory Is just another arctic land
from where come canned salmon
and some seal furs--the size OF
Alaska is not realized. 0pportuni-
ties are unlimited for people with
will and determination.
/ sincerely believe that Alaska
will come into prominence when
the world situation will again be
at least partly normal
The people Of Norway, Denmark
and Finland and who knows--the
Swedes--will be looking for new
homes and chances. Their sons and
daughters can and will be glad
10 settle up there. Their kinsmen
helped gain. settle and prosper our
Middle West and the Northwest.
These people could not live under
auy form OF prescribed dictatiou=-
and mass emigration will follow.
Alaska and the u. 5. should be
opened for them. They will come

tuals fun of thoughts which do not
fit In our scheme of Life and thingx,
they are workers, fishermen,
lumbermen and farmers, also they

cry by Boring Is very fascinating.
His commissioning by Peter. czar
OF Russia. his trek from st. Peters
burg to Kamcbatka--opposed ever
by ignorant Russian governors OF
the time--will and stamina carried
him on. His work on the Pacific

Women Not Good SPORTS

A Dutch treat party with women
can be pure agony and one can't
figure out why. Men, eating lunch
together on pay-your-oWn-Way ba-
sis never seem to make all that fuss.
They 60 up to the cashier together,
and apparently divide things up ST.
lently and amicably then and there.
But women at least lot OF
them start fussing long before
the meal is over. They divide PEN
MES. They 60 off into long discus
sions as to who ordered the extra
coffee. They call the waitress Is
times in order to determine whether
the veal outlet or the chicken patty
was the one with the five-cent extra
charge.
And then, after all the sums have
been determined, they don't have
the change.
Something really should be done
about it.
One correspondent thinks the trou-
BILE with women is that they take the
Dutch treat with such deadly seri-
