How Many Cubic Yards?
This Chart VIII ShO,o AMOUNT to Be Moved
BIZ w F. SCHAPHORST
By w. F. SCHAPHORST

THERE IS ALWAYS considerable
digging and excavating on farms,
and the question frequently arises,
"How many cubic yards were re-
moved?" Or, ''How many cubic yards
will have to be removed"
This chart gives the answers with
out any figuring whatever. Simply
run two zig gag lines across the
chart as indicated by the dotted lines
and the number of cubic yards will
instantly be found in column E.
Take, for example, very shallow
excavation 6 inches deep Column AZ
by 8 feet wide Column b and 1900
feet long, Column d.. Column E
tells us that the number of cubic
yards is exactly 100. Merely run
straight line through the 6, column
A, and the 8, column B, and locate
the intersection with column c.
Then from that point of intersection
run through the 1900, column D,
with another straight line and the
intersection with column E gives
the answer as 100 cubic yards.
Column A, as will be noted, goes
only to 10 inches deep. So if deeper
than 10 inches, simply add ciphers
as follows: Thus if the depth is so
inches instead of 6 the same dotted
lines will give the answer as 1000
cubic yards instead of 100. That is,
if a cipher is added in column A a
cipher must also be added in col
umn E.
Likewise if a cipher is added in
column B a cipher must also be
added in column E. For example let
us take really large" hole-6OO

two ciphers to the 6 and two ciphers
to the 8, making total of four
ciphers added.
1t is therefore evident that this
chart will easily take care of any
rectangular excavation, and it will
give results that are surprisingly
accurate.

inches deep, by 800 feet wide, and
1900 feet long. The same dotted
lines tell us that the answer is
100000 cubic yards. We add four
ciphers to the 100 because we added

"SCRATCH-FI5HlNG"
IN Sc ALASKA AS
RUNS REMAIN LIGHT

Southeast Alaska fishermen are
scratch fishing" spending most
of their time looking for fish-as
the pink salmon run remains weak
Clarence Rhode. Alaska regional di-
rector of the Fish and Wildlife
Service, said today.
He returned last night from a
two-day trip to Ketchikan. He said
the fishing there, while it is better
than in the northern part of South
east Alaska, is not up to normal.
Benin Canal and Boca de Quadra,
in the Ketchikan area. have had the
best runs but they are nothing to
shout about" Rhode said.
He reported that a slight improve
ment has been seen on the west
coast of Southeast Alaska. but there
is still no strong showing.
Streams known to produce early
runs of pinks are well seeded, Rhode
said, but there are good number OF
streams remaining which will not be
seeded until volume of fish appear.
Low streams resulting from con-
tinued dry weather are keeping
some salmon from going up to
spawn, he stated. and leaving them
"just that much more apt to be
taken"
Rain would be welcome" he said.
1T would permit the salmon to go
upstream and spawn"
The pink salmon run in 1948 was
late and there is still time for the
pink salmon run to pick up, he de-
clared
He said the escapement of chum
salmon has been better than average
this year.

Mr.. Truman took sharp issue at

that the blood of Americans dying
in Korea is on the shoulders of Sec
rotary of State Acheson.
Permitting reporters to quote him

President said:
THAT is contemplate statement
and beneath comment"
Two hours later Wherry fired
back that the Presidents failure to
remove Acheson, after repudiating
his stupid foreign policies, is con-
temptible."
ut was Acheson's consistent ap-
peasement and coddling of Russia
that paved the way for the Mos
w-directed Communists to over
run China and for the Moscow
directed North Koreans to spring
upon the Republic of South Ko-
rea." the Nebraska Senator declared
in a statement. He added:

enemy probably could make an
aerial Pearl Harbor strike at almost
any place in the United States to-
day and get some bombs down on
the target.
1t is not considered within the
realm of possibility that the present
sparsely spotted radar system =
even though on round-the- clock
operating basis = would detect all
approaching bombers or that exist
ing fighter forces would destroy
every one of them.
Competent military sources doubt
if more than quarter of an attack
ing bomber force coming in over the
Polar regions could be knocked down
before it crossed the northern border
of the United States.
They point out that in World War
II, in areas where there was high
concentration of fighter defense
and elaborate radar warning system,
destruction of 10 percent of an at
lacking force was considered excel
lent.
Air Force strategists hold that
the most effective way to halt air
attacks on the us. mainland would
be the destruction of bases from
which the attacks are launched and
of the industrial centers supporting
the attacks. 1t is on this theory
that the retaliatory strike by long
range B-36's, B-29s and B-50's are
planned.
Following this same reasoning.
defense officials believe that the
bases for those planes, in the con-
tinental US. and Alaska, would be
priority enemy targets. the spots for
which sneak raiders would head
first Making the bases useless for
launching retaliatory strikes would
be of prime Importance to the en-
envy.
Next in Importance would be the
great industrial areas and the
nerve-center of government and
military direction, Washington.

They Invented Bear
Gall Rattle, /" But
Couldn't Stop shaking

CORDOVA, Alaska, Aug. 18-R--
Hunters, animal psychologists, be-
haviorists and nature lovers may
be interested in a bear call invented
up here.
The inventors, known informally
in these parts as Shorty and Black
lie, no longer are. Period.
1t happened a few days ago when
Shorty, man of imagination, de-
cided to rig up bear call. After
all, he ruminated, there are duck
calls, crow calls, turkey calls and
moose calls.
With not much else to do except
walk, Shorty dropped few small
stones in an empty tin can. That
was his bear call. He gave it few
vigorous rattles as he and BlacNe
were returning to town from some
mineral areas in the Copper River
country.
Wool" was the almost instant
response. And a huge, vicious looK-
ing brown bear put in quick ap-
pearance. Shorty and Blackie STEP
ped ur their pace but continuing
to rattle the can--perhaps they
were so scared they couldn't let 60
And soon the air was full of un-
friendly "woofs" and the trail full
of unfriendly big, bold brown bears
They finally had to shoot their
way past one which blocked their
trail. In all they counted q of the
bruins.
The idea is not for sale. You can
have it-free.

Observation-Disclosures Re
publicans and Dixiecrats are sec
reilly plotting a political alliance
to capture control of Congress by
1852, then to take over the cleo
toral college-key to the Presi-
dency. We have documentary
proof of this daring plan, which
already has the secret backing OF
nationally known conservatives.
In brief, the plan calls for Re-
publicans and southern Democrats
to Join forces without changing
party affiliations. However, they
would merge their seniority and
run Congress jointly. Then the
next step would be to organize a
similar coalition to dominate the
electoral college and name con-
sentative President.
The ringleader of this amazing
plot is a stocky, dy-faced North
Carolinian, named J. Harvie Will

known, he claims to have support
of such COP leaders as Senators
