B l'ENOS AIRES, Feb. 4.—The po.

i ning to use airplanes in the pursuit
; of cattle thieves in that province of
jNorth Argentina. Cattle stealing is
made easy there by the lack of roads
and the impossibility of rapid pur

CROSS WORD PUZZLES
ARE DECLARED “BLESSING”
CHICAGO, Feb. 4.—Cross word puz
zles are a blessing disguise to those
employers who feared their distract
ing influence when they first appear
ed, accord to Albert M. Johnson,
President of the.National Life Insur
ance Company of the United States,
who said that so far as his organiza
tion was concerned the puzzles had
increased the efficiency of his stenog
raphers 25 per cent.
Rather than being a distraciton to
the office girl, the mental labor in
solving them has made her faster and
more accurate in her work and a far
better speller.
“Noticing a marked improvement
in our several hundred stenographers
1 inquired the reason and found we
had the crossword puzzles to thank,”
said Mr. Johnson.
The idle hours spent over the dic
tionary had improved both spelling
and recognition of words to a startl
ing extent.
SAN FRANCISCO’S CHINATOWN
IS NETWORK RADIO AERIALS
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 4.—China
town holds the local record for the
greatest number of aerials to the
block. In one square there are 23
sets. The picturesque Oriental roofs
are a maze of these wires..
The elder Chinese like the music
best, as it is difficult for them to un
derstand radio talks, but their child
ren, all students of American schools
interpret them rapidly.
Con San-mue, interpreter for the
immigration service, recently wrote
to one of the broadcasting stations:
“Automobiles are so numerous in
Chinatown that I am afraid to let
my children go upon the streets, but
since I have built my radio set they
are centent to stay at horn'?*’
ALASKAN AND CANADIAN
BORDER TOWNS ENJOY
UNUSUAL FRINEDSHIPS
H^ER, Feb. 4.—An unusual bond
of friendship exists between the resi
dents of Stewart, B. C., and those of
Hyder, Alaska, a mile and a half
apart.
When a Hyderite desires to partake
of liquor he walks to Stewart, B. C.,
and when residents of the British
Columbia town want duty-free tobac
co, they come here.
Dances, concerts, picture shows and
lodge meetings are internationally pat
ronized in both towns. Funerals, and
w'eddings concern both communities
equally.
May 24, a Canadian holiday in hon
or of Queen Victoria’s birthday, all
Hyder citizens go to Stewart. July J
4, Stewart folk can celebrate Ameri- j
can independence here.
WOMAN GOVERNOR DEFIES
PRECEDENT, KEEPS ON HAT
CHEYENNE, Wyo., Feb. 4—Gov
ernor Nellie Taylor defied precedent
by wearing hat and gloves when she
read her message to the Wyoming j
legislature. No other governor has
ever stood before the legislative body
with covered head and hands.
Although the governor’s office is un
der the same roof as the hall of rep
resentatives and is only a few feet
distant, Governor Ross entered the
hall in street costume in deep mourn
ing including a widow’s veil.
She received long and continued ap
plause when she entered and at the
conclusion of her address.

CHAMBER WORKS
FOR LIGHTHOUSE
AND FOG HORN
The Seward Chamber of Commerce
yesterday went on record for the sec
ond time, for a substantial lighthouse
and fog horn at the entrance to Re
surrection Bay. Telegrams were sent
to Delegate Sutherland asking the
status of a bill presented to congress
following the visit of former President
Harding, and Governor Bone, together
with the Seattle, Portland and San
Francisco Chambers of Commerce,
will also be asked to render aid to
Seward in securing this vital aid to j
navigation. The Steamship compa-1
nies, who are probably interested as j
much in the project as any others, i
will be asked to give their support, j
The small blinker light at the en- j
trance to the harbor is useless in!
thick weather, and has a low visibility !
| even at best. With the hundreds of
vessels plying in and out of this port
each year, carrying thousands of pas- j
sengers, proper safeguards should be
provided. The importance of the port j
as a feeder to the entire railroad belt
(necessitates protection of the first
| class, instead, of the inadequate' equip
ment provided at the present time.
Mariners approaching or departing j
from the bay in thick weather, are j
practically helpless without fog sig- I
nals to guide them. This was point- j
ed out by President Hinde and others i
at yesterday’s meeting, and prompt j
action was taken. J
i ne attention or the chamber was
again called to the necessity of a game
warden working out of Seward, and
the Secretary was instructed to notify
Governor Bone that a Seward resident
familiar with game conditions, was
wanted. The chamber unanimously
endorsed Henry Frost, guide and big
game hunter for the position.
A number of communications were
received and read by Secreatry Han
non, asking for information regarding
Seward, a majority of them being
from persons desiring to locate here,
j Several school children wrote for lit
jerature, saying they were studying
Alaska, and wanted data.
The membership committee showed
they had been hard at work by the
number of paid up cards issued, sev
eral new members having signed up.
Last year’s membership of fifty will
be greatly exceeded if the excellent
