SAYS RADIO INTERFERENCE
DUE TO HIGH POWER
CHICAGO, Jan. 11. (/P)—Intersta
tion interference, that bugaboo of the
radio fan which has sprung up within
the last year or so, is due largely to
the demand for greater transmitting
power, asserts Dr. H. Preston Pratt,
Chicago scientist and inventor. A
solution, he adds, lies in a decrease
of power and an increase in potential
or voltage to balance the loss in
wattage or powder.

BIOLOGICAL SURVEY
TO DRIVE CARIBOU1
FROM HER YUKON;
SEVEN HEAD RECENTLY CAP- 1
TURED AT KOKRINES; SEND- !
ING TO CAMPUS
Engaged in an undertaking unique i
in the husbandry, Biologist L. J.
Palmer and William B. Miller, and
Jack Warwick left Fairbanks a week
ago last Monday morning bound for
Kokrines on the lower Yukon says
the Fairbanks News-Miner. They will
endeavor to drive seven head of
wild, unbroken caribou up the Yukon
and Tanana watersheds with the
Alaska College campus as their des
tination. The animals will be penned
in an inclosure recently constructed
on the campus and will be the nuc
leus of a herd to be maintained by
the Bureau of Biological Servey in
conjunction with the College, for the
purpose of conducting experiments
in cross-breeding of caribou and
reindeer.
The party will make the trip down
river by dog team and, returning,
will follow the small herd in its slow
progress, camping out nights and
loitering with it, regardless of weath
er, while it grazes. The drive from
Kokrines to Fairbanks, it is estimat
ed, will require fully one month.
On the trip to Kokrines Mr.Palmer
and his assistants will prepare the
natives for the appearance of the
caribou. Special precautions will be
taken to have all dogs stoutly se
cured, in order to prevent a stam
pede of the small herd. In the event
that the drive occurs during pot
lach time it will be necessary for
the biologist to leave the river route
and drive through the hill country,
as in that event the trails will be
traveled by the natives with dog
,team regardless of any contrary re
quest. Should this become necessary
the little band will thread its way
through unblazed country.
The caribou are now in captivity
i on the Melozi range, where they are
under the care of Captain Williams,
reindeer owner who captured them
for the Biological Survey. No effort
has been to tame them, it is report
ed, and in consequence some time
may be devoted to breaking them to
the halter. The party even hopes of
teaching some of the more docile
animals to drive.
The Kokrines herd, the first to be
established on the campus, later will
be augmented with caribou and deer
from Cantwell and other railroad
belt points.
KEEP COOL AND HAVE A
GOOD MEMORY, THIS VIEW
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 11. (/P)—If
you want to have a good memory,
keep cool, is the advise given stu
dents by Dr. Edgar Fahs Smith,
former provost of the University of
Pennsylvania.
The formula, according to Dr.
Smith who is one of the world’s best
known chemists, has been responsi
ble for his own ability to retain
names.
Under the auspices of the Seward
Woman’s Club a whist and bridge
party will be tendered the public on
Wednesday night beginning at 8
o’clock. Refreshments will be served
and prizes awarded.

Lame makes the more luxurious
evening wraps. It’s chic to have it
lined to match your frock.
Monograms are still smart things
to have on jumpers and handbags.
Set it in a little square, ovel or dia
mond frame.
Necklaces are as much of a craze
as ever; a neck looks quite undress
ed without one of some sort.
Ostrich feathers are back again.
They make lovely collars for the new
evening wraps.
Pumps are no longer smart; sand
als, strapped and laced shoes have
displaced them.
