mmm of gold
ULLOWED BY JAPAN
It is officially announced in
Japan that there will be no inter
ference with the free outward
movement of gold from the coun
try and that the Yokohama specie
bank may ship 50 to 60 million
yen (approximately $25,000,000 to
$30,000,000) to the United States,
the Department of Commerce is
advised in a radiogram from
Commercial Attache Halleck Butts
at Tokyo, reports the U S. Daily.
The Japanese Finance Ministry
is continuing its efforts to reduce
national expenditures, though
support is alleged to be lacking,
| the advices state.
! Some European shippers are re
ported to be quoting prices to
japan on a dollar rather than on
a pound sterling or other currency
basis.
| Japan’s cotton and rayon trade
is said to be adversely affected by
an increased effectiveness of the
| Chinese boycott and the uncer
! tainty of the British situation.
| Many orders are reported to have
1 been cancelled and new contracts
'withheld. The fluctuation of raw
| cotton prices is reported to have
contributed to the uncertainty,
with reports of many mills cur
tailing operations and a decline of
15 to 20 percent in spinning
shares.

SEEN AS GOOD POLICEMEN
WASHINGTON, Oct. 21. (A5) — ;
That those ugly, indolent alliga- I
tors of the southern swamps are
really efficient “policemen” con- ]
i trolling the vicious underwater |
^element of aquatic life, and in- i
j valuable guardians of game fish, ;
j is a fact reported to be rising
■ slowly out of reams of data being
I assembled by the Bureau of Bio
| logical Survey of the Department
of Agriculture.
j According to officials of the
| American Game Association, both
| circumstantial evidence and proof j
! furnished by a study of stomach
contents indicate that alligators
protect game fish indirectly by
eating turtles and gars, the two
I worst enemies of the game spe
j cies because of their habit of de
stroying fish eggs and young.
The almost complete extinction
I of the alligator in many sections
of their habitat is said to be coin
cident with a heavy increase in
| turtles and "rough” fish and a j
|; steady decline of game fish, which!
;1 even artificial propagation by
. hatcheries has not been able to
! off-set

Miss Katherine Horton, in writ
ing to her folks and friends in Sew
ard from Willamette College, at
Salem, Ore., says that her school
mates down there think of her as
being a person out of the ordinary
as she hails from Alaska. She says
that whenever her name is men
tioned someone usually exclaims,
“Are you the girl from Alaska?”
Katherine says that she would like
to come back to Alaska but she
intends to let some of her class
mates know more about the won
derful Northland before she re
turns.
