ANCHOR ACE SHIP ENABLE
TO LAND: TOO MANY BEARS
It is not an unusual occurrence for
*ui Anchorage airman to sight boars!
While making a ;ht aver iiie sur
Y-t'lThg courtli but not until re-1
"cently have these denizens of the;
igreat open spttces attempted to inter
fere with aviation, Pilot Matt A. Nie
minen, of the Anchorage Air Trans
port. being the first to report an oc
currence of that character, says the
-A nehorage Times.
On the flight to the Bristol Bay dis
trict, several days ago w.h the An
chorage No. 2, Pilot Nieminen ran
into heavy weather and was not able
•to follow his usual course. lie made
his way cautiously down the inlet
until finally the storm became so men
acing that he decided to hunt out a
'protected coveh for a londing until
flying conditions should become more
favorable. He searched hte shores of
The inlet for a considerable distance
•before he found a protected cove, the
•area of the sq/ooth water being just
;about large enough for acomfortable
•landing. As the plane circled down
ward, the pilot saw a large animal
'enter the water and begin swimming
Toward the opposite shore. Nieminen i
^»t first thought it was a moose ,but
'closer observation disclosed the fact
that it was a large brown bear, swim
ming in a direction which left none;
•loo much room for a landing. He had
•made up his mind to chance it, how
•ever, when a second brownie plunged
into the water, and as the plane cir
‘cled low over the watt . Nieminen ten
■or more bears on the shore, gathered
•about the carcass of some animal
which they apparently had killed.
Most of them were huge animals, as
•large as any seen by the airman in
-his many flights over the country.
With two bears in the water the
landing would have required very
'careful handling to keep the plane at
^ safe distance from them, and be
sides the airman did not have a, gun
with him suitable for protection
^against bears, so he pulled the piane
•out of the quiet little harbor, prefer
-ring to take his chances with the
:storm.
A request has been received for in-!
formation concerning the where-!
abouts of Michael Hall. He is about
60 years Of age and was last heard
from in Ketchikan, Alaska. Any in
formation should be sent to the
Governors office, Juneau, Alaska.

An Analysis of Modesty.
Paris Singer said at a Palm Beach
luncheon:
“Even in my youth, when a peek-a
boo shirt waist was considered daring,
I didn’t take much in modesty. I used j
to say it was the concealment of ugli- '
ness a kind of shame, flow right I
was.
“Imagine nowadays a girl with
beautiful knees concealing them out'
of modesty! It’s unimaginable! Yes,
the modesty of the past was the
shame of one’ ugliness, and, thanks to
open-air exercises there’s practically
no ugliness left.
‘A girl was walking down Fifth
avenue on a blustering March morn
ing. She,was a beautiful girl, and
she said to her escort with a laugh:
“These March winds are most em-'
barrassing, aren’t they, George?
Still, I’ve nothing to be ashamed of!”!
