war is really over and the Navy

calendar girls" can find in many
girls exactly the type of beauty
he is looking for: vivacious, spon-

coupled with a well-proportioned
figure and lustrous hair.
The modern girl is all of that
and more, he feels sure.
Why compare the trend in
womanhood and calendar ap-

cause the secret of his girl cal

that he drew them to please

MILD WEATHER IN
 INTERIOR REDUCES
 NO. MOOSE KILLED

Very few moose were killed during this years moose season due to mild weather in the Interior. That was the report brought here today by Charles E. Gillham, of the U. s. Fish and Wildlife Service, who re- turned to Juneau yesterday on board the S. S. Baranof from An chorage.
 Gillham, biologist and predatory game hunter for the Fish and Wild life Service, said that the mild weather prevented easy access to the moose hunting grounds and thus reduced the number of animals kill ed during the season which ended last week.
 Gillham, who has been in An chorage for the past month, de- clared that because of the small number of moose killed this year, the number of available moose next year will be greatly increased. He was highly encouraged by this fact due to the previous heavy kills which have been made which have greatly reduced the number Of moose in the Interior.

Dry Ice Test.|s Seen
AS Possible Cause Of
Hurricanes Swerve
BY the Associated Press

SAVANNAH, Ga, Oct. 31.-The
chief forecaster of the Miami
Weather Bureau believes that's the
dry ice experiments conducted by
the Navy during the damaging mid
October hurricane might have con-
tributed to the storms strange be-
havlor.
Grady Norton suggested this pos
sibility in a letter made public yes
terday by Judge James T. Houlihan,
chairman of the Chatham County
commissioners. Judge Houlihan had
protested to the Weather Bureau
that the Savannah area, struck by
the hurricane, was not warned OF
the storms approach in sufficient
time to set up the proper precau-
tions.
The hurrican moved several hun
dred miles into the Atlantic Ocean
after traversing the southern tip of
Florida, then curved backward and
headed toward the North Carolina
coast. The South Georgia coastal
area was lashed by an apparent off,
shoot Of the disturbance.
While the hurricane was centered
over the Atlantic, it was seeded"
with dry ice from a plane. The
seeding was the first Army Navy ex-
pertinent to determine what effect
such treatment would have on tropi-
cal storms.
Mr.. Norton wrote Judge Houlihan
that the results of the experiment
are military secret, but added
that "it is entirely possible" that
the experiment contributed to the
unusual behavior of the storm
At Schenectady, N. Y, Vincent
Schaefer, General Electric scientist
who devised the dry-ice seeding
method, said he doubts that the
seeding caused the storm that lashed
the Georgia coast. Mr.. Schaefer
participated in the experiment.

chief for the joint weather project,
said that analysis of the test data
had barely started.
