ALL ITS 9 ADVANTAGES
Thermo-charging (Patents Pend
ing) is a new scientific discovery that
enables“RPM” to stay put at higher tem
peratures than motor oils have stood be
fore. Other oils actually tun uphill to
escape scorching hot surfaces which
Thermo-Charged “RPM” will protect
perfectly!
NO OTHER MOTOR OIL DOES ALL
THESE THINGS FOR YOUR ENGINE
1 Thermo-Charged “RPM" is outstanding in its
power to spread over and lubricate super-heated
surfaces.
2 It cuts wear by keeping a better oil film on
engine parts running either hot or cold.
3 It keeps your engine cleaner than other oils.
4 It ends carbon, sludge and varnish trouble.
5 It keeps your oil rings free — and uncloggcd.
6 Thermo-Charged “RPM” prevents corrosion.
7 Keeps your oil filter cleaner than ever before.
_
O Cites mileage—as good as, or better than any
other oil.
9 This astonishing new oil definitely lengthens
the life of your engine and enables it to deliver
more of the thrilling performance built into it.

Geological Survey
Searching Alaska
Strategic Mineral
WASHINGTON iJP) — The In
terior Department has announc
ed the Geological Survey will de
vote its 1941 season in Alaska
largely to search for strategic
minerals needed in national de
fense and perfecting topograph
ic surveys of the Territory.
The Department said investiga
tkm of tin deposits would be
made in the Western Seward
Peninsula and Hot Springs dis
trict of central Alaska. R. R.
Coats is in charge of the Se
ward Peninsula project and will
center the work in country ad
1 iacent to York and nearby parts
of the Anikovik river. If the
party has time it will also ex
amine areas where showings of
tin have been found near Ear
mountain.
Russell G. Wayland will be in
charge of the party which will
search for tin in the Hot Springs
district while William T. Pecora
will be in charge of the party
which will search for workable
nickel deposits in southeast Al
aska in the vicinity of Mirror
Harbor. The department said
that later in the season the gov
ernment may do some extensive
drilling to test nickel-bearing I
-I
deposits of Yakobi Island.
P. W. Guild in charge of an
other party will search for
chrome at Red Bluff Bay on the
east coast of Baranof Island
where chrome minerals have
been reported. The party also
will search surrounding terri
tory to determine the extent,
quality and other characteristics
of the chrome mineralizations.
The Department said that in
1940 Guild made a detailed study
of chrome ore deposits near Sel
dovia and that another govern
ment agency is considering test
ing the deposits by drilling.
Wallace M. Cady will head an-;
other party which will determine;
the potent quicksilver reserves j
in the vicinity of Sleitmut where;
small amounts of quicksilver!
have been produced for years.:
Other quicksilver deposits j
known to occur farther west in |
the Kuskokwim valley will be in
vestigated.
D. E. White will head a party
which will seek to determine the!
geological characteristics and po:
tential resources of antimony de-!
posits in the Kantichna district]
in the northern foothills of the,
Alaska Range.
The survey assigned J. C. Reed
and a party to general mineral
investigations throughout south
eastern Alaska in which partic
ular search will be made for
strategic minerals and will ex
amine the tungsten deposits near
Hyder and El Nido, nickel at
Snipe Bay and deposits in the
Glacier Bay district.
F. H. Moffit will head a party
which will correlate observations
made in the past in the Alaska
Range between the International
Boundary and the Delta River.
Another party in charge of G.
Fitzgerald wil make a topograph
ic survey of the Porcupine River
district while a search in charge
of T. W. Ranta will map the coun
try west of the Chultine River.

7,000 Troops i
Are Ordered
To Alaska
WASHINGTON. July 17—Gen. |
George Marshell. chief of staff, re
vealed today that 7.000 troops
have ben ordered to places in Al
aska, including the A'eutian Is
lands. for the protection of the
Ration’s northwest outpost.
The army chief of .staff reveal
ed the move during testimony be
fore the Senate Military Commit
tee. He said troops were requir
ed to safeguard the Alaskan m!li
tary bases against any possible
thrust at the Pacific strength of
the United States.
Marshall disclosed the plan for
reinforcing Alaskan garrisons in
illustrating the need of extend
ing the service period of con
scripts. He said that because of
a shortage of regular troops, it
has been necessary to include
draftees as reinforcements.
Discussion of the Roosevelt ad
ministration’s plans fo rextend
ing military service fr draftees,
national guardsmen and reserv
ists still is an uppermost subject
in Washington.
Representative James W. Wads
worth, Reublican of New York,
supports the administration and
says American cannot, as he puts
it, "afford the illusion’’ that it is
exc'udcd from the timetable of
the German Army.
hiel the original plan of the
War Department to ask Congress
to authorize the sending of
troops beyond the Western Hem
isphere has been help up for the
time being it may be revived
later.
As to Marines in London
Marshall explained to the Sen
ate Military Committee the re
cent sending of a detachment of
Marines to London does not in
volve the issue of “sending
troops on belligerent service.”
The marines in London will do
local service, such as messenger
service and guard duty, for the
United States embassy. Assign
ment of marines for such duty
has always been usual. In China,
particularly, marines for years
have ben assigned on duty in
United States diplomatic posts.

Vitamin B
Works Miracle
Beri-Beri Cure
HONG KONG, China — Ameri
ran Red Cross supplies of Thia
min Chloride Vitamin B-l tablets
rushed to China bv r ipper plane,
have saved the lives of hundreds
of sufferers from beri-beri in
dramatic fashion, according to a
report just issued. Beri-beri is a
dsfiriency disease prevalent in
the East, characterized by par
t: a1 paralysis, swelling of the
legs, and general dropsy, and is
frequently fatal.
In December, 1940, a Red Cross
representative in Canton report
ed from 200,000 to 300.00.0 cases
of beri-beri in the city, with
as many as 50 to 200 deaths daily.
In response to his appeal for aid
for the suffering Cantonese, the
American Rod Cross immediately
sent 00,000 of the Tiamin Chlor
ide tablets by clipper to Hong
K mg. where they were deliver
ed to Lieutenant William T. Fol
ey of the U. S. Navy Medical
Corps on the U. S. S. Mindanoc,
a gunboat, on which they were
taken to Canton. An adidtional
100.000 tablets were shipped on
the S. S. President Taft on De
cember 20, and a further 100.000
went on the S. S. Pierce when
siie sailed for China on April 7.
Immediately on arrival of the
first batch of tablets, according
to Dr. Foley's report, the Chin
ese Maritime Customs physician
turned over his office and facil
ities for the formation of a spec
ial beri-beri clinic which was es
tablished on the Canton Bund
near the Custom House, and the
Ricksha Coolie Guild printed and
distributed handbills telling
about the free treatment center.
Treatment centers for the very
sick were also established at 8
hospitals, the chief being at Fong
Pin Hospital.
"The use of Thiamin Chloride
has indeed been miraculous,”
Dr. Foley reports. "At Fong Pin
Hospital there were over 709
cases of beri-beri among in-pa-j
tients. After two weeks’ treat-'
ment there were no active cases
of beri-beri remaining, except,
new arrivals." The effect of Thia
min Chloride on certain aculle
cases is striking, he reports. Pa
tients who otherwise would have
died within two days of admis
sion to the hospital were back at
w; rk at the end of a week, fol
lowing the treatment.
The way to climb high is to
keep on the level.
