The Herbert Faleses landed In
Washington l am. Thursday morn
ing after two years in England.
Herbert has been assigned to the
State Department so their friends
will be seeing them for the next
three or four years. They crossed
the ocean quickly and divinely COM
fortably on the Queen Elizabeth,
but it took four hours to get from
Baltimore to Washington by the
horseless rail carriage -. Two
other foreign service officers, both
bachelors, will soon be leaving the
local scene much to the chagrin OF
local hostesses. Attractive John
Macdonald will depart for Bombay
on January 18 to be consul general
there, and that delightful addition
to the stag line, Charlie McVickar,
will bid particularly reluctant fare
well, probably about the same time,
to head for Manila.
Speaking of personable bachelors,
Anthony Hill, an Englishman and
fellow at Princeton, was here all this
past week and between some plain
and fancy twirling about town, en-
ligatened one on bit Of American
history. During the war he was an
officer in the Kings Royal Rife
Corps. originally the 62nd Royal
American Volunteers which regi-
ment was actually formed in this
country of Americans back in the
days of the French and, Indian
Wars. Because of the type OF fight
| ing they never wore red coats nor
do they today, even for dress. Hay-
ing historical right to do so, Is
Americans served as officers in this
corps during the last war before
America shouldered arms. Anthony
Eden was member and both AM
bassador Winant and Eden were
present at all the regimental re-
unions.
The Owen Brewsters are back iE
their apartment at the Mayflower

Potential Thirty

%Pascagoula Rotarians were told
this week at their regular meet
ing that Mississippi has a poten-
tial S30,000,0 900 annual business
in its oyster reefs if a program
of propagation and cultivation
was carried out on a sufficient
scale.
The speaker, F. w. Elmer Of
Biloxi, chairman of the Missis-
sippi seafood commission, said
that the Mississippi Sound was
one Of the most favorable bod
les of water in the world for the
growing of oysters.
There are many natural reefs
which have been built up over
thousands of wars in the past,
he said, and if only one half of
the available reefs were propa-
gated with seed oysters, a vast
industry could be developed out
1f the fisheries business.
At present, he said, the coast
fishing does not give a living

After a journey through high

which used to be shipped from

famous for centuries.
Surprises Traveller
All this lush landscape
comes rs a complete surprise
to the traveller, who would be
expected to know nothing of
Yemen except the hot, sandy,
malaria coastal plain, backed
by the forbidding 10.000-foot
mountain ranges. Alden, the
best known seaport on the
Arabian Peninsula, is a Brit
ish Crown Colony. It is one of
the hottest places in the world,
and seamen have long shun-
ned it as one of the most IN
pleasant ports.
At Sana'a, the party was
greeted by 10000 Yemeni.
They rode through lines of
white ,robed riflemen, and
three Yemeni bands played
Arab music or the way to the
palace. The old Imam receiv-
ed them with great cordially
in a throne room of blue and
silver.

tion pictures to the royal fam

were repeated eight or ten
times.
For twenty-three days they
negotiated. They narrowly av-
erted failure when word ar
rived that the Anglo American
commission had recommended
the immigration of 100. 1000
Jews into Palestine. Yemen
isolationists temporarily got
the upper hand, and the talks
were dead-locked until the
Imam himself took a hand and
ordered that an agreement of
commerce and friendship be
signed.
Now the Imam wants things
that Yemen never had before:
A cement plant, a textile mill,
a lot of motor vehicles and
road-buitding machinery. He
also wants a seaport of his
own because Alden is in the
British sterling bloc and the
Imam sees disadvantages in
that.
Business Eyes Rich Resources
At least three American bus
mess parties are planning to
visit Yemen in the near future,
and other business men are
becoming interested.
At present State and Com
meree Department officials are
wrestling with the problem of
finding such scarce items as
textile mschinery-and ma
ehinery, particularly of the
textile variety, is about the
scarest thing in America. The
search may take years but the
Yemeol are not expected to
become impatient. Centuries
count little in Yemen.

Imam of Yemen would ike to

His little kingdom, at the

N.W.A. FAIR MANAGER
 SUBMITS FINAL REPORT

The manager of the N.W.A. Fair submitted his final report for the Ninth Fair to the Board of Direc- tors showing that the Fair was one of the biggest and best ever held in Nome.
 The report states however that the Fair operated at loss this year of $l,24S.44.
 This is partially explained by the fact that the Territory has al- ways paid one thousand dollars toward the expense of all Fairs in the Territory and the last legisla- ture failed to make the usual ap- propriation.
 Another reason for the financial loss was due to the fact that there were other conflicting activities in progress at the time of the Fair and although the committees in charge worked hard they were unable to overcome the handicap.
 However, the Board stated that plans would be made to overcome the deficit and that the Fair had proved itself well worth while un- der the efficient and capable man. agement of George C. Beacon.

The question of greatest importance seemed to be one of responsibility. Organiza- tions were willing to help but were unable to accept the respon- sibility for taking the entire ceme- tery under hand. The city was asked to take the lead in repairing the roads, fences and gates and find some method of assisting in getting the entire cemetery clean ed up." A committee was appoint ed and a meeting set for Friday.

 Rowe's injury, his third ailment in a year, came in a freak acci- dent.
 The Phils held a 10 lead in the sixth inning of the nightcap when Stan Musial came to bat. Musial swung, his bat broke in half and part of it sailed out and hit Rowe on his pitching arm.
 The veteran hurler, whose rec ord stands at seven victories and one defeat, suffered deep cut on the elbow. Manager Ben Chapman said he did not think the injury was "too serious"

 The area embraces about 40O,- 900 acres of commercial timber out of an estimated 5,0O0,000 to 6,0OO,OO0 such acres in the Ton gass forest.
