.•years ago to become editor and man

the vessel was caught in the strong
tide rips and, weighted down by the
heavy catch,' sW&mped and spnk. in
seven minutes. The two boys took
to their ski, but that too was
swamped, and they were hanging to
the sides when they were rescued by
the halibut boat Chum, whose crew
saw the trolling .poles of the Olga dis
appear from a distance and rushed .t®
the rescue.

The Anchorage station of the
St; 1 Oil Company has been con
sk • enlarged recently by the
add.i:: a of a new tank for the stor
age of gasoline. The new (tank has
a capacity of approximately 15,000
gallons and will be used_for the Stor
age of aviation gasoline, heretofore
handled in drums.
Used more than thirty times by five
presidents and one president’s wife
for the purpose of starting important
events in other parts of the country,
the “button” which has been so well
publicised is really a telegraph key.
The gold from which the key was
made came from discovery claim on
Bonanza creek, in Yukon Territory,
and was mined by George Carmack
and presented' by him to President
Taft. Mounted on white Alaska mar
ble, the key was first used by Presi
dent Taft on June 1, 1909, to open the
Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition in
Seattle. Woodrow Wilson used it to
open the Panama-Pacific Exposition
in San Francisco in 1915. Calvin
Coolidge holds the record for having

SEE GOOD BIG MAN
YIELD TO LITTLE ONE
WASHINGTON—The old idea that
a good big man can always beat a
good little one apparently is partly;
I wrong.
I Extensive .tests hy the Public
Health Service point in that direction i
anyway, with nearly 500 men between*
20 and 34 years old.as subjects.
Tentatively, the total weight for
strength and endurance was.found.to
be between 160 .and 170 .pounds.
Below 17Q, an increase in push,,
pull, lifting strength, grip .and tang
force was recorded lor .each -4rpound
advance.
Over, 1.70, .the .test Showed erratic
results, .with increases in nn» _ phase
offset <by losses in .others.
As an example, jjidling strength' in
the 160- and 170-pounders averaged
96.9 pounds, but .dropped .to 91 in the
180-189 group, while lifting capacity
rose between 180 and 180.
The greatest strength in. all capaci
ties was found in.men between 67 and
68 inches .tall.
Strength was shown to increase up
to 30 years of age, remain fairly con
stant .until 50, when.a decline began.
