The Guide, T. J. Maher, command

Work was discontinued about the mid

tle on the 28th.
The Pioneer, R. F. Luce command

ber 23, on which date the party left
Baranoff Harbor, Shumagin Islands,
for Seattle.
The Surveyor, A. M. Sobieralski in
command, has been engaged in com
bined operation on the outside coasts
of Baranof Island during the entire
month. Under date of August 15,
the commanding officer reported that
Lieut. Scaife and Mr. Johnson had a
narrow escape in the vicinity of Icy
Point, when their boat capsized. Altho
Johnson was pinned under the boat
both men escaped with bruises and bad
backs.
A shore party in charge of G. C.
Jones, was engaged in reconnaissance
surveys in the Aleutian Islands until
the 23rd, on which date the party left
Unalaska for Seattle, Wash. Consider
able valuable information has been ob
tained by this party, as reported by
the chief of party under date of Aug
ust 15.
During the month of September au
tomatic tide gauges were in operation
at eight primamry tide stations oil the
Atlantic coast, four on the Gulf coast,
five on the Pacific coast, and three in
Alaska.
J. M. Smook finished the triangula
tion in Chatham Strait and transfer
red his party to the vicinity of Suk
kwam Strait for work in that region.
PROOF
OF A BETTER OIL
The function of a lubricant is to
reduce friction and thus increase
the effective power of the engine.
The best proof that Zerolene does
this to a superlative degree is found
in the fad that the Zerolenedubri'
\
cated automobile or motor'boat has
more driving power; it averages 5%
more gasoline mileage than when
other oils are used.
One good test of the purity and
stability of a motor oil is the amount
of carbon it forms. Zerolene forrhs
less carbon than any other motor oil
\nown to us. That is why the Zero*
lenedubricated automobile or mo'
tor-boat may be driven from 25^
to 50% farther without having the
valves ground or the cylinders re*
bored.
Truly, you can buy no better oil
than Zerolene. Ask for it by name
—Zerolene.

Jack Senior continued during the
month of September on his program of
base measurements and triangulation
at the northern end of Lynn canal.
The magentic work of G. C. Jones
carried on in connection with his re
connaissance work of the Aleutian Is
lands, include complete magnetic ob
servations of .diurnal variation at Ad
ak, Atka, and Unamak Islands, and re
peat observations at Dutch Harbor,
Unalaska Island. These observations
add materially to our heretofore inade
quate knowledge of magnetic condi
tions in these islands.

work.
During the summer season approx
imately 300,000 boys had the benefit
of camps conducted by the Boy
Scouts of America.
Membership in the Scout move
ment increased during the year by
more than 100,000, and now totals
689,000 men and boys. The Lone
Scout division has 91,593 members.
In the volunteer service of 160,000
men, there are less than 1,000 men
employed professionally. The aim has
been to keep the Boy Scout move
ment as largely as possible on a vol
unteer basis, but when men are en
gaged in the work professionally it
is desired to have them receive spe
cial training.

WHAT MY NEIGHBOR SAYS
Is of Interest to Seward Folks.
When one has had the misfortune
to suffer from backache, headaches,
dizziness, urinary disorders and other j
kidney ills—and has found relief from
all this sickness and suffering, that
person’s advice is of untold value to
friends and neighbors. The following
case is only one of many thousands.
Who could ask for a better example?
Mrs. R. V. Rowe, Box 683, Juneau.
Alaska, says: “I was in bad shape
from kidney complaint. I had terri
ble pains in my back. Mornings I
could hardly move and it took som •
time to straighten my back. I tired
easily and didn’t feel like doing
my housework. I was nervous and •
couldn’t sit still at time. I read
about Doan’s Pills and after usine
three boxes I felt like myself again”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Pill—the same that' Mrs.
Rowe had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs.,
