RACED OVER TOKYO

Apparently the planes then raced
over downtown Tokyo toward To
kohama and the industrial Kama
gswa district. 20 miles away. The
Yokosuka naval base Is about
IS miles below Yokohama. A d.
rect line Of flight between the
munitions dumps in Tokyo would
have passed almost directly over
the American embassy and toward
Yokohama and Yokosuka.
Dooiittle said that after re-
leasing their bombs the Amer
lean planes went TO the coast,
observing several squadrons of
destroyers and some cruisers
and battieships. That may
have been along the coast line
between Yokohama and Ma
goya.
A low mountain range separates
Nagoys from the Osska-kobe dis
trict. The two latter cities Join
borders and the industrial districts
merge along the water front
Planes striking first at Nagoya
could swing over Osaka and Kobe
and then out TO sea. They might
very well have taken a route over
the island Of Shikoku. where Amer
lean war prisoners from Guam
and Wake repeatedly are held.

Actors Doubt
Gable Intent
To Retire
HOLLYWOOD.

Arguing that his greatest solace
studio officials and personal friends
of Clark Gable are inclined to the
belief that the star will resume his
duties before the camera after a
reasonable length OF time.
Still anguished by the tragedy that
cost the life of his wife, Carole
Lombard, with 81 others in a Ne
vada mountain-top airplane crash,
Gable was seeing no one except a
few intimates. He has not yet re-
turned to the Encino Ranch, where
he and Carole lived since marriage
three years ago.
He had worked one day on Some
where I'll Find You" when the
tragedy occurred. Reports that he
intended to retire and make apph-
cation for service in the United
States Army Air Corps have been
denied by M-G-M officials. They
said Gable had made no official
announcement of his plans, or had
they sought to learn his intentions.
1t became known, however, that
Lana Turner, assigned to co-star
with Gable in the interrupted pic
ture, was still on call, an indica-
ton that the production would
proceed as originally planned.

Natures Children
Fig
discus carica)

Fresh figs are delicious. Most Of
us must be satisfied with the pressed
fruit. Within the last 20 years
much has been done in California
to cultivate the fig as q commercial
fruit. Today its culture now ex.
tends from Norfolk, Va, southwark
along the Atlantic Coast and around
the Gulf Of Mexico into Texas.
The fig is now grown on a large
scale in California. Much trouble
and a great amount of money went
into this enterprise. We use the fig
as an additional fruit, hardly think
ing of its important food value. In
Southwestern Asia this fruit is
looked upon as a daily food.
One of the most fascinating facts
about the fig is its absolute de-
pendence upon the famous little flg
wasp. This small insect breeds
within the flower of the Capri fig
and is instrumental in cross-polli-
mating the blossoms Of the highly
important Smyrna fig, which would
otherwise be unable to set fruit
without this assistance. This part
nership is known as 'caprification, +"
for, though the Capri fig Is not
edible, it plays a most important
role. in the maintenance OF the
highest grades of fig orchards. A
new variety has been developed that
is self-fertilizing and can mature
one crop without cross-pollination.
Nearly all cultivated figs bear three
OF more crops, and in some orchards
in California ripe figs may be gath
cred every day from late July until
rains or frost destroy the perishable
fruit.
Figures have not been kept well
on the fig industry. The annual
California crops now exceed more
than 1000 tons Of dried hgs. The
local consumption Of fresh fgs is
great; the hg pastes, preserves and
other uoes taks the remainder.

In the 1910 election, the present
governors plurality vote was re-
duced nearly hundred thousand be-
low that of the previous election.
Also, in 1910, he had the lowest
plurality of any Republican state
candidate. He lost out in West st.
Paul where he was born, in South
st. Paul where he lives, and in the
capital city of st. Paul where he
spends part of his time.
Usually when political party has
bitter contests in the primary cleo
ton and runs up the highest vote
the opposition party wins in the
general election. In the Sept. 8,
1912, primary, 191, 900 citizens, rep
resenting AZ per cent of the vote cast
for governor in the Republican pri-
mary, voted against Governor Stas-
sen in protest of his administration.
1t is significant that the largest votes
against the governor came from the
strongest Republican counties.
Our opportunity is here. Let us
get out and win!
