MOMENTOUS EVENTS IN
EUROPE TODAY
Poring over their coffee cups
today, Alaskans—in common with
the rest of the world—find the
most piping theme of conversa
tion the European crisis.
Extraordinary indeed is it
when dictators, prime ministers
and leaders of the great pow
ers get together in conference
and issue pronouncements as to
attitudes their respective nations
will assume on the momentous
question of whether or not they
will fight and on what side they
will align themselves.
It is no commonplace action
when the prime minister of Brit
ain hastens by plane to confer
with the dictatorial head of Ger
many, and when the cabinets of
Britain and France and the heads
of Italy, Czechoslavakia and the
Little Entente are in conference
nd may issue declarations that
may inflame the whole of Eur
ope in war.
That Britain and France are
assuming a conciliatory attitude
and inclined to acquiesce to Hit
ler’s demands may seem to alle
viate the situation for the time.
Mussolini’s intimation that he
wall adhere to the Rome-Berlin
and in event of war take
/' with Germany aggravates
the picture, especially in view of
the fact that Russia remains om
niously silent and apparently not
favorable to the dismmetberment
of Czechoslavakia.
The Czechs are far from re
conciled. Hitler persists in his
plans—and Central Europe is stil
a powder keg. Despite any under
standing between Britain, France
ad Germany the peace of the
world is far from assured.
America in her remote posi
tion is still not isolated. Even
Alaska may soon feel the effects
if any untoward development
pluges Europe in war. Well may
the whole world view winh con
cern the events now evolving in
the zone of European diplomacy
and the danger of a war worse
than any in past history break
ing into a holocaust that threat
ens to be boundless in its devast
ating sweep.

MAY SOUND LIKE ‘EGLO”
BUT IT'S SPELLED “IGLOO”
SEATTLE, Sept. 24. —Eighty
; one-year-old M. J. Farrell, an A1
askan gold rush staimpeder, de
lights in giving his version of
how the world igloo came to be
sp iled with the letter “I”.
At the time of the gold rush,
the word appeared in all diction
aries as “eglo”, apparently be
i cause that’s the way it sounded
! when natives said it.
He was urged to become post
master at Mary’s Igloo (Eglo),
a mining settlement near Nome,
and wrote the postmaster-gener
al at Washington about it. In en
suing correspondence, Washing
ton officials insisted on referring
to it as “Mary’s Eglo”. Each time
Farrell replied with “Mary’s Ig
loo.”
When Washington forwarded
. the post office stamp—it was spell
1 ed with a capital “1”. From that
time on, Farrel says, it appeared
as “igloo” in dictionaries.

t
BONNEVILLE. Indiana, Sept.
24.—Although the law frowned
on the mariage of a 13-year-old
girl and a youth of 10 years her
senior there will be no attempt
to break up their honeymoon.
Prosecuting Attorney Addison

had violated Indiana statutes
forbidding the marriage of a girl
under 16, but said no prosecu
tion will be started since neither
family has complained.

By pouring in this automatic egg
cooker one teaspoonful of water for ,
a 1 minute egg, 2 for a 2 minute
egg, etc., one is assured that they
will be cooked as desired. When
the water is gone the current goes
off and the lid pops open. The auto
matic ash tray as illustrated flips a
cigarette into the bowl and returns
to right position. The heating of
the wire coil on the holder, as the
cigarette burns down, is responsi
ole for this action. e
TH6T FIRST MET 22 years ago when Dr. Leon Pope,
52, of Grand Junction, Tenn., brought this 22-year-old girl on his
knee into the world. The doctor, who has delivered more than
1,500 babies in his quarter of a century of practice, entertained
several hundred of this 1,500 recently at a basket picnic. The
hahv in the doctor's arms was born July 10.
