Uncle Sam
 Tightening
 Up On Travel

KETCHIKAN - New regula- tions restricting travel from the United States went into effect in Ketchikan this week when Dewey Knight, director of immigration questioned all passengers from Ket- ehikan leaving on the Columbia.
 The regulations cover passengers leaving the country from any point, whether they are going to foreign ports or from one United States point to another-in case they touch foreign soil or waters or fly over a foreign country during their tra- vel
 Passengers who convince the de- partment of immigration that they are citizens are free to travel be- tween United States points. but aliens must give the purpose Of their travel and in some cases may not be permitted to do so, said Mr. Knight. Ordinarily aliens will be permitted to go from Ketehikan to Seattle and return both for pleasure or business.
 Non-citizens will be thoroughly questioned at Seattle also before be- ing permitted to leave for Alaska points. The regulations apply to land, sea and air travel, to regular transportation services and other transportation, such as fishing or pleasure boats.
 Persons who are leaving can save themselves and the department of time by calling at the office in the federal building be- forehand instead of waiting to be interviewed on the boat, said MT. Knight. They should show their birth certificates if they have them but it is not necessary to have birth certificate to get permission to leave. he said.

 Otto Edward Wilde
 James Woodrow Dolan
 Clarence Vernon Lewis
 Arthur Ronald Carlstrom

John Arola is in Seattle and has been accepted as a volunteer in the U s. Air Corps, the Board was informed by the Army today by wire He will be stationed at Biloxi, Miss. Suratt is in Sitka and will be in dueted from there. Robinson is in Seattle for induction. Kenneth Lin-I coin Lewis, who was also on theI eligible list, probably will enter the Navy as deferment has been asked for him by the Commandant of the 18th Naval District in Seattle and therefore was not called by the local Board.
 Actually going from here will be Messinger, Wilde. Clarence Lewis, Stevens, Bjorge and Carlstrom. TheI men are scheduled to leave from here Monday aboard the DenaH for Chilkoot Barracks.
 From the first call, the Board has been advised by the Army that the men from here are nowI in service: Vernon Anderson, ROyI Williams, Jr., Joseph Newton, John David Sandman and prob ably Carl Johanson.

Mass Production Of Gums
Serious Problem TO u. s.

At present 1t Is reported that Rus
STA has more than 1905, 900 semi
automatic rifles on hand and 10
manufacturing 5000 daily. Semi
automatics were being manufacture
at the great Skoda ammunition plant
in Czechoslovakia at the time the
Germans took over that country and
there is no information available as
to how many of these rifles Ger
many now has on hand.
The United States army depart
ment has for the past six years been
trying to manufacture q semi
automatic rifle known as the Garand
or MI.
The rife was designed by John c.
Garand, a French-Canadian from
Montreal who is employed by the
United States Arsenal at Springfield,
Mass.
The problem Of mass production
has become so serious that many
United States newspapers are loud
ly voicing public opinion. General
Motors have appointed a defense
council and one of their problems ID
to see if a remedy can be found to
solve mass production. At the pres
ent time the United States is pro-
ducing about 200 of these rifles per
day.
The Garand rife has an average
effective fire power of about II
shots per minute or a little over
double the fire power of the present
rifles in use, which means that an
army equipped with these semi
automatics would have 100 per
cent advantage.
During the past 5la years, J. D.
Petersen, Remington Arms design
er and production manager, of New
York city, one of the worlds out
standing small arms designers and
mass production engineers. de-
signed a semi-automatic rife which
has an average effective fire power
of 80 shots per minute and has been
designed so that it can be manu-
featured in mass production of thou
sands of rifles per day and at q
great deal less cost than the
Garand.

Movie Industry Studies
Pretty Girl Paradox

Hollywood is going to do some
thing about its oldest paradox-the
fact that there is a shortage Of fe-
male stars although hundreds Of
pretty and talented girls come to the
film capital annually and are never
given a tumble.
Raoul Walsh, one Of the towns
leading directors, recently decided
that something should be done about
it for the good of the industry and
is reviving the old tradition of Sc
lecting "the Is baby stars" of the
year. That Director Walsh isn't
stumbling in the dark on a plan to
find new faces is evident from the
results of the old custom once car
ried out annually by film publicity
men.
They called their selections "wam-
pus baby stars" and from their num-
Der came some of the greatest stel-
lar names in the history of Holly
wood. Clara Bow, Mary Astor, jean
Crawford, Dolores Del Rio, Janet
GaynOr, Jean Arthur, Lupe Velez
and Loretta Young are just a few
of the actresses who used their
wampus selections as springboard
TO fame.
Girls like these have become
great assets to the motion picture
industry" Walsh declares, but
someone had to give them the op-
portunity of being discovered Now
you know and l know and every
body knows that there are many
girls potentially as good but who
haven't got chance in the world to
prove it. We hope to give them
that chance by bringing them to the
attention of the right people"

Protection Against Poison Ivy

The National Safety Council of
Chicago recently issued a bulletin
warning people of poison ivy and
methods 10 prevent this dreaded in

swelling is one method prescribed
Another suggestion is to rub your

the wildwood. A further precaution
is the wearing of gauntlet type
gloves and tying trouser legs to
shoes and sleeves to wrists.
