Board Plans Put Elk
on Hinchinbrook Isle
(From Cordova Times)
Elk are to be planted on Hinchin
brook Island as one of the first
steps the new Alaska Game Com
mission will take toward an exten
sive campaign for propagation of
game and fur-bearing animals in the
territory, according to Dr. W. H.
Chase, who returned yesterday from
the initial session of the board in
Juneau. Two islands in Southeastern
Alaska, the Kenai peninsula and Ko
diak, are also to receive some of the
elk.
(All details of the propagation pro
gram have not been made public, as
the commission will not actually be
in force before about August 1 or
15. New regulations for trappers,
however, will be sent out in ade
quate time to familiarize them with
changes.
"The commission adopted a policy
that is generous to the resident of
Alaska and gives him more liberty
than under the old regulations,” Dr.
Chase said today. On the other
hand it absolutely prohibts the alien
or non-resident from hunting with
out a special license.
“A change in the rules that will
interest Cordova people makes it
permissible for any resident of Alas
ka to purchase a migratory bird or
game animal taken in season legally.
However, such a purchase cannot be
re-sold, will it be possible for res
taurants to serve wild meat.”
The commission authorized build
ing a boat for patrolling the Alaska
Peninsula and the Cook Inlet coun
try. E. P. Walker, of the Bureau of
Biological Survey, now head of the
new commission, is to go back to
Washington shortly to arrange for
extra appropriations to carry on
propagation work and to purchase
the boat. He will be in the east
before the fiscal year begins in July.

as its motif was adopted by the com
mission.

RADIUM REPOSES SECURELY
BEHIND SWINGING CHAINS
PRAGUE, Apr., Apr. 29.—Great in
! genu ty has been displayed by the
Prague Radiological Institute in pro
tecting the radium in its possession,
and the methods are regarded as so
complete that the kindly old profes
sor responsible for the satety of the
treasure has no fear of burglars.
The priceless substance, first of all
is stored in tiny, stoppered phials,
and these are in a larger glass con
tainer completely sealed by 1 using
the orifice. Next comes a thick-sided
lead box, whicli is carefully locked
up in a modern, indestructible safe.
All around the safe, a few inches
apart, hang loose chains, making it
impossible for any one even to ap
proach the safe without moving them.
The slightest movement of a chain
rings an alarm bell in the watchman’s
quarters.
BRITONS TURN TO TENNIS
LONDON, Apr. 29—The increasing
popularity of tennis among Britons
is giving the professional the time
of his life. There are not enough
to go round and not only are in
structors at London and provincial
clubs working overtime, but they
have to refuse many applications
from people owing country houses
who wish to obtain their services
over the wreekend. Women pros
are in just as much demand as men,
and fees are said to be rising.

Lifting the veil
IN DISTANT lands — in jungles and fertile valleys, on
® mountains and by the sea — millions of people are pa
tiently laboring in the collection of raw products.
Ships and trains bring these products to refineries and
manufacturers —to be fashioned into comforts, luxuries,
conveniences — for you.
Advertisements tell you when these products are ready
for your inspection. Advertisements tell you where to
see them — how they are made — and what they cost.
Advertisements lift the veil of production and tell you
the things you need to know to buy safely and wisely.
Let advertisements guide you in all your purchases.
Read them regularly. They are as interesting as any
other news in the paper — with, this in their favor. They
concern you, personally.
