1 escaped uninjured,
j Trouble was noted when nearing
; the end of the lake and Gillam
switched over to the his reserve
j supply tank and the gasoline feed
was apparently resumed for an
i other minute and then the motor
i failed completely. The safety of
j air transportation was well-illus
( trated here when Pilot Gillam,
with a dead motor and no prepared
I or suitable landing field, picked out
j as suitable a spot as possible and
i glided down, landing the boat
I in heavy brush. The passengers
! scarcely felt the jolt but low trees
and stumps tore off the two lower
wings of the plane.

“I’ll play a monzonite,” says the
prospector from the Iditarod, as he
places a specimen of monzonite on
the table. “I’ll trump that with a
serpentine,” retorts his opponent
on the opposite side of the table.
No, this isn’t exactly a new game
that you are reading about. It is a
game developed five or six years
ago by Dean Ernest Patty at the
Alaska College to teach the mining
short course students the sight de
termination of the common rocks.
It is exciting as a poker game and
a good deal more dangerous for if
an irate player ever starts throwing
the cards, then it is time to call an
ambulance.
Numbered rocks are used for
playing cards and during a game
each prospector plays a “hand” of
25 rocks.
Excitement runs high in a close- ;
ly contested game and several in-j
stances have occurred where a!
prospector dug down into his poc
ket and laid a $5 bill on the table
to back his judgement on a rock.
It is then that all of the diploma- j
tic skill of the referee is required j
to restore tranquility.

WHEN WINTER COMES
IS YOUR house packed to the eaves with tremend
ous stores of flour . . . meat . . . clothing . . . and
other supplies to carry you through the long winter?
Not very likely!
But if not, won’t you—like the butterfly that
played all summer without a thought of the cold
days to come—won’t you be in danger of facing
famine, months before spring comes around again?
Certainly not!
When wintry winds are blowing their coldest,
and the storm is wailing like forgotten banshees on
the roof-top, the chances are you may be eating juicy
strawberries from Costa Rica and fresh asparagus
from Florida. For the day of storing up supplies
against the barrenness of winter has gone forever.
It has passed when America ceased to be a lot ofj
scattered communities, and became a nation united
by swift line of transportation.
As you read the advertisements telling you just
what the stores contain for you, fresh to your order,
remember that here are the inexhautible store
rooms of today . . . storerooms that have banished!
forever the anxieties that went with the snows of
yesteryear.
