Proving that the hospitable

most any kind of gome, latest re
porta from la at attempts at “stock

comers to those parts have made
themselves “at home’’ and are in -

According to reports from the
experimental farm at Kaisin Bay,
’he seven young elk that were tak
\n there last summer from their
birthplace in th» Olympic Moun

famously. They were so very young
that they were first held in fen^e

appear at the station
These experiments point a glori

awakening from the lethargy of
half a century of a realization of
what nature has done for them in

and bounteous plenty for almost

Kodiak ha0 no native game except
the bear, which in smno renmt’

land of the pe.iixisuid. and found

NEW INVENTION MAY REVOLUTIONIZE AIRPLANE MOTORS
oston’ Mass- —A new airplane motor that has no connecting
rods, no valve tappets, no earn shaft and no valve springs, and is ex
pocie i to revolutionize the building of airplane motors. Each cylinder
has but one valve. The motor has less than one-half the working parts
of an ordinary motor and weighs 50 percent less than any other en
gine of equal horsepower. The motor fires on both sides of the piston
and it will be constructed in different sizes ranging from 150 to 500
horsepower. Photo shows the motor left to right, R. Meister, assistant
to Palmer and Harry A. Palmer, inventor.

WHEN fattening sweets tempt and you
r ~
dread extra weight, light a Lucky in
stead. No discomfort, no trouble—just a
common sense method of retaining a slen
der figure.

The finest tobaccos are skilfully blended to
make Lucky Strike. Then, "It’s Toasted.”
This secret process brings out every essence
in the tobaccos and produces a flavor which
makes Lucky Strike a delightful alternative
when you crave fattening sweets—there
is no interference with a natural appetite
for healthful foods. That’s why folks say:
“It's good to smoke Luckies.”
At the same time toasting removes impuri
ties. That’s why 20,679 physicians are on
record that Lucky Strike is less irritating
than other cigarettes. That’s why prominent
athletes have testified that Luckies steady
their nerves and do not impair their physi
cal condition. No wonder that this was dis
covered long ago by many men, who pride
themselves on keeping trim and fit, who love
the "pep” that comes with health and vigor.
A reasonable proportion of sugar in the diet
is recommended, but the authorities are
overwhelming that too many fattening
sweets are harmful and that too many such
are eaten by the American people. So, for
moderation’s sake we say:—
“REACH FOR A LUCKY
INSTEAD OF A SWEET.”
