“Nutty” about speeding—that’s I
what young Waldon was. ^ Also he j
va “nutty” about “The Cub,” who was |
the pretty daughter of “The Bear.”
“The Bear” was an automobile man
ufacturers who turned out racing auto
mobiles, and Waldon was one of his
salesman. A good salesman he was,
too, till one day the boss “bawled him
out.” And Waldon arose on his hind
legs, so to speak, and quit. But “The
Bear” wasn’t going to lose the pep
piest young salesman he had. He
signed him up as general manager.
Young Waldon took the job—it paid
$5,000 a year and there was no rea
son why he shouldn’t. But he was
after “The 'Cub.”
He had to break all speed records to
finally win. He tore up thq road till
they called it. “The Roaring <Road,’I
and that is the name of the picture

KETCHIKAN RESIDENT
PATENTS CLAMP FOR
WILD GAME TRAPS
Recent mails from the east brought !
to E. A. Teeter, a well known old- J
timer of Ketchikan, an offer from the
Hudson Bay company to purchase
the Canadian patent rights to a
clamp for big game traps which he
invented during his spare hours spent
as a lighthouse keeper in some of the
outlying districts of Alaska. The com
pany expressed the opinion that it will
be a very serviceable and practical
device, removing much of the labor
new required in setting traps, which
in cold weather is a hardship.
For months Mr. Teeter has been
trying to make arrangements for
t
the manufacturer of the clamps in
sufficient quantities to meet the de
mand for them and has finally suc
ceeded in finding a company in Syra
cuse, New York. He has orders al
ready for approximately 100,000 of
the clamps and has not even started
to manufacturer them yet. He will
leave for the south in a few days to
go east to make the final arrange
ments for the manufacture.
HERO IN DARING RESCUE
Saves Drowning Boy by Diving Into
Water Through Large Hole
in the Ice.
f _
Lynn. Mass.—Running out 200 yards
over the ice in the Saugus river here
George White reached a water hole
in which he had seen a boy dissappear.
He dove twice beneath the surface
and located and rescued ten-year-old
George Girourillis.
As White rose to the surface of the
open water a cake of ice came drift
ing by. On this he placed the uncon
scious boy and propelled his strange
craft to the edge of the former ice.
Twenty people who saw the little
boy break through and disappear be
neath the ice dared not aid in the
rescue. Every step White took the
fast melting ice bent beneath his
weight.
Arriving on shore, White turned his
attention to the boy. and by giving
him first aid revived him until a po
lice ambulance could be summoned.
Police Captain Broad of the Lynn
police stated he would communicate
the story of the daring rescue to the
Carnegie Hero society.

Moonshiner Is Killed
by Gas of Own Still.
New York.—Oscar Swensen
was found dead of gas poisoning
in his lodgings, the victim of his
home-made gas stove “moonshine
still.”
A gallon can with a tube
“gooseneck” and a receiving con
tainer containing a dark brown
liquid were found on top of
Swensen’s stove, from which the
unlighted gas was escaping.
The police believe that the
still “boiled over” and extin
guished the light allowing the
gas to flood the place while the
man slept.
