Hold on, captain! II you're GO
ing to cuss me for fool, I'll shut
up, and you'll never get sight of
the jewels. I said they'd gone down
with the steamer. Wouldn't that be
the natural conclusion of their own
ers when they heard of the founder
ing of the City of Bahia? For all
know every mothers son aboard, ex-
cept me, was lost. You couldn't
expect me to save struggled goods
under such circumstances, could
you? That let's me out as an agent

(, He smiled crafty, watching the
expression of the half-breed's face
and eyes. He was following him
nibbling at the bait. Dick drew an
unconscious sigh of relief.
'They didn't 60 down them"
snapped Tucu. "Ye-ye-got 'em?"
Dick chuckled at his eagerness.
"If had them," he said easily,
"you could take them. There's all
brought away with me-"
He pointed to the collection of the
things from his pockets he had
spread out in the sun to dry. The
skipper scowled in perplexity. His
face assumed crafty suspicion, as
he turned upon Dick with an ugly
leer.
''If y'know where they are," he
said slowly, "ye'd keep a whole
skin by tellin' me. / amt wastin'

Sure, captain-or pretty near it, I"

information to sink in the others

U. S. MINES BUR. RESUMES K0BUK
 A5BE5T0S WORK

Resuming exploration of asbestos deposits in the Kobuk area, two mining engineers of the U. s. Bur eau of Mines Staff are to leave Ju- neau today for summer in the field. it is disclosed by Rob- ert S. Sanford, District Engineer. Comprising the exploration party Iare Milford Wright and Franklin Rutledge, engineers, and Albert Eide, Science instructor in the Ju- lneau High School who is to be en- lployed by the Mines Bureau dur ing the summer and who will assist in the Kobuk investigations.
 Sanford related that his agency has been thoroughly exploring the
 area of asbestos occurrence during the past two summers following a
 brief preliminary inspection during
 1945. Achievements of the work in-
 clude successful location of com mercial deposits of asbestos from which more than 30 tons of high grade asbestos have been mined and
 shipped since 1943 by the Arctic Circle Exploration Company, pri- vate enterprise. The asbestos talk en out has sold at $1 000 per ton. ! Asbestos is known to occur over
 an area 30 miles long by five miles wide, Sanford said. Only a small fraction of that area has been even looked at. Most of it has been cross-
 ed only by native traprers. Gold prospectors have followed the
 stream beds, but asbestos occurs in the mountains. Kobuk jade,
 which recently has gained consid- erabla attention, occurs in the same formation with ashestos-they are 1 of similar chemical composition however, usable jade is found at lower levels where it has been car-
 ried after eroding from the main deposits in the rock formation. The Territorial Bureau of Mines
 has also done some Investigating of the jade and asbestos deposits and
 has published a pamphlet describ- | ing the occurrences e the closely associated minerals.
 The United States government is much interested in this potential
 asbestos area, MT Sanford said, as
 this country is now forced to i'm port over 95 percent of the asbestos ,,.ol ;., +t.1 TT~;toI

Out Easter Inspire dBy Church Choir
BY THE OUT EASTER


 Ever attend service at the Church of the Immaculate Conception?
 We did last Sunday after wand ering alone about town, nowhere to go, lonesome for the company we once enjoyed, and somewhat depressed in spirit. After all, many of us feel this way, in the Fall, probably the most melancholy sea- son of the year.
 Regardless of our feeling, we en- tered, and sat through the entire Mass. Of course we were greatly impressed; we followed or tried to follow every move of the young priest on the altar. And then we heard a most stirring address by the speaker of the day. Added to the glory of attendance was the singing. The choir, with its great chorus of voices, was wonderful; and showed the art of a master hand. There was an Ave Maria' sung by young man, Wm. J. Law Tor, baritone, whose voice marked such richness of tone as to identi- fly it with years of tutorage under the most learned.
 |, We are not of the church going type, but we felt better for being present, and felt we'll go there again some time.
 What beautiful house of wor- ship, and what an inspiration to pray, if we only knew just how to do it.

Springfield, Mass, Readers
 Hunger for City Newspaper

Springfield, Mass, Oct. 2S-(UP)- Most of this city's 150,000 residents gladly would trade sirloin steak or white shirt today for a local news paper.
 It has been four weeks since they last saw copy of any of Spring fields. six papers which are shut down by a wage dispute involving A.F.L. competitors, stereotyperS and preSsmen.
 Commuters hail one another with, How did Notre Dame make out Saturday," and youngsters torture their parents with, When are we going to get our funnies back again?"
 Floral Business Off
 Florists complain that business has dropped off as much as 50 per cent because people don't know who is dying, getting married or having baby.
 Springfield merchants advertise in the Shopping News semi-weekly throwaway-which has doubled its advertising volume since the strike began. The News also has started printing church notices and other announcement in an effort to keep its readers up to date.
 The city's two radio stations, WMAS and WSPR, have increased their news broadcasts from two to

 Under the rationing system, an English housewife selects the store with which she wishes to trade and is certified with the rationing board as customer of that shop. She does all her food shopping in that one store thereafter. The ration board sees that her shop and all similar shops get fair proportion of the food available. She in turn gets the same share as every other customer. All food is sold at ceiling prices. Housing Critical
 Housing is more difficult. Many | landlords are converting (with very little actual conversion) five and six-room houses into apartment for two and even three families and getting the same rental for each they formerly got for the entire house. Eviction rules are much more lax than in the United States and |calendars of courts handling rent ceiling violations are jammed.
 Hotel rates are almost double what they were during the war it. |self, and after weeks of searching was able to locate ofle-room apartment: Rent $2520 a week Restaurant meals cost about g on the average.

Trumon Boosts School Lunches lin Every State

Washington, Oct. 2-(UP- President Truman said today the nation should start planning flor the day when low cost school lunches will be available in every community in every state and territory.
 In a message to the opening session of the National Confer ence of State School Lunch of- 6icia1s, the President said rlotla- ing is more important to our national life than the welfare of our children.
 And proper nourishn1ent comes first in attaining this welfare" he said.
 1.-The well-nouriShed child is 6 better student. He is health- fer and more alert. He is devel- oping good food habits which will benefit him the rest of his life. In short, he is a better asset to his country in every way"
 MT. Truman noted that near- ly 8,O00,OOO children will partici- pate in the school lunch pro- gram this year.
 '"rhis is a splendid start" he said, but we must look forward to the day when the lunches are available in every community, in every state and territory"

|sumer goods is rising monthly. It's all for export, and this is beginning to gall Englishmen at home.
 The window smashing episode was only one bit of evidence of this growing discontent. In two months in England I saw many other signs.
 Many of the English with whom I talked are beginning to wonder if all their hard work is worth while. Squeezed by high taxes and high prices, unable to buy any of the good things in life with the little money they have left at the end of the month, many are wondering if working at all is worth while.
 Coal Production Tagging
 In England's coal fields, vital to the whole economy, this discontent has taken the form of absenteeism running as high as 25 percent. Coal production is, tagging far behind needs. A forcasted deficit of 5,000,- 900 tons of coal this year may throw 100000 workers out a job.
 England's housing problem is far worse even than that in the United States, and to stimulate building it was necessary to authorize bonus payments to bricklayers for laying above cretain quota each day.
 Yet with all it's shortages, Eng land so far hasn't been troubled by a bad black market situation Foor rationing is fair, although there is little to eat and doubt that any Englishman today gets up from a meal with that full, satisfied feeling so dear to Americans. Restaurant meals average about third less

ond day of the Fall meeting of the National Academy of Sciences, which transferred its session here because of the hotel strike in Wash ington.
 ''1n World War T." he said, ''in- ffuenza was the major Scourge and swept the whole world, killing many millions of people. When World War II broke out, investigators predicted that another awful epide1nci of ir1- fluenza would sweep everything be- fore it.
 '"ThiS did not occur, and influenza proved to be of relatively minor inn portance. Between the two wars, 1t was shown that influenza can be caused by at least two agents, name ly A virus and influenza B Virus"
 He recalled that vaccine obtained from egg culture was used to inn munize men and women in the American armed forces and that 75 percent had good results.
 Did Not Depend on Vaccine
 Dr. Rivers said, however, that "even the most ardent advocates of influenza vacicnes admit that the prevention of an epidemic during World War II did not depend on their use"
 Tn fact" he said, 'most workers are reluctant to venture an explana- tion. Perhaps, I will be forgiven for suggesting one. Between the two world wars, rapid transportation of all kinds developed by leaps and bounds, making the world one conn., munity as far as influenza is con- cerned.
 "It has been demonstrated that the two known influenza viruSes from time to time produce mild or mod crate epidemics here and throughout the world. In view of this, all popu- lations of the world are probably thoroughly seeded with these two virsuses and something similar to a truce has been declared between them and human beings"
 pr. Rivers said that if this is true, "then we shall continue to have mild and moderate epidernics of influ- enza. but never another epidemic similar to the one experienced in 1918"

Two New Divorce Actions Recorded

Two more divorce actions were filed in Superior Court yesterday afternoon, bringing the total for the day to four.
 June Quadrato Whitaker of Wa terbury filed a suit against Russell c. Whitaker of New Haven, charg- ing cruelty since Dec. l, 1945. They were married Sept. 29, 1945. The plaintiff seeks permission to use her former name.
 Charging cruelty since July 1, 1889, Flora Bradstreet Eckert of Waterbury seeks a divorce from Harold w. Eckert, also of this city. They were married May 28, 1888 at Millerton, N. r., and have two children. The plaintiff seeks custody and support of the children.

 Cannot Get More Paper
 News dealers have pleaded for more papers from Boston and New York but have been turned down because of the newsprint shortage. Unable to get newspapers, readers are grabbing up magazines as fast as they appear.

 Despite the strike, sports writers from the Springfield papers still cover football games every Saturday. In fact, one of them even goes so far as to make elaborate charts of each game as if he were going to write story. Asked why, he ex- plained:
 "Just SO those other guys in the press box will see that I'm earning my pay"
 Those who miss their papers most are the amateur dabblers in the stock market who haven't seen a quotation list for a month. Said Miss Claire McDonald, private secretary.
 Just think, might be million aire and never know it."

Smaller World Defeats InfIuenza ds Epidemic

Philadelphia, Oct. 2S-(UP)--In- nuenza has whipped itself, Dr. Thomas M. Rivers of the Rockefel- Ter Institute for medical research said today.
 The disease is no longer likely to return in such lethal force as it did in 1918 when it killed thousands of persons.
 Influenza, he said, may come back in mild and moderate" epidemlcS but he expressed belief that the population of the world has built up enough resistance to result in truce between the virus and human be- ings.
