PLANE HOPS FOHGE
DEFENSE PLANS FOR
COAST OF ALASKA
_
Plans for complete reorganization
of America’s coast defenses, partic
ularly Alaska fortifications, are be
ing considered by the army general
staff, it is learned.
The reorganization plans will be
kept in abeyance, however, until
after the next Geneva armaments
conference.
The plans are still formative,
but in a general way contemplate
the concentration of more aircraft
and anti-aircraft material at vul
nerable points and an entirely new
scheme of defense, employing the
other elements of the army and
navy.
The army is giving prime con
sideration to adequate protection
of Alaska. From what was generally j
regarded as its complete isolation a
year ago events of the last months
have demonstrated that it is one
of the most vulnerable spots un
der the American flag and must be
amply fortified if the American Pa
cific Coast is to be protected.
The many successful fights from I
Alaska to the Asiatic mainland j
have convinced the army board of
strategy that in the event of war
with any Far Eastern country they
could easily base their airplanes on
Alaska and from that point fly up
and down the Pacific Coast of the
United States
For this reason, it was said that
plans for reorganization of the coast
defenses must provide for an ex
tensive base in Alaska, which is now
totally defenseless. This base would
consist principally of fighting
planes, as the territory is so vast
that anti-aircraft artillery would
not be of much value.
The army also plans the mass
ing of more anti-aircraft artillery
and other anti-aircraft weapons at
the larger cities or vulnerable
points.
TOURNAMENT NEARS END
It won’t be long now before the J
champion of the Seward Golf Club i
will be made known. During these
last few days those who have been
lagging in turning in their scores
for the President’s Tournament
have shoved it into “high” with
the result only a couple are yet I
to be heard from. It is thought j
Clark Andresen and Chas. Fair
weather are still tied for the beau
tiful emblem, symbolic of the
royal and ancient game and which
is on display in Orlander’s Jew
elry Store.

COMMITTED SUICIDE
Mrs. Bertha Hawley, a passen
ger for Petersburg on the SS
Northwestern recently, was found
in her stateroom bleeding to death
from a slashed artery of the left
wrist, about an hour after the
boat docked here. The door of
her stateroom, which had been
locked from the inside, was forced
open by one of the officers of the
boat when she failed to respond
to repeated calls. Mrs. Hawley
died soon after her arrival in Pet
ersburg, says the Petersburg Press.
LAGOON ROAD CONNECTED
The Lagoon road was connected
long before noon today marking
practical completion of Seward’s,
i new transportation artery which has
j been in the making for several
I weeks. Mayor Don Carlos Brownell
j stated, however, that it would be
j a few days yet before the new road
will be opened for general traffic;
as there is considerable work to do
on this end, with respect to surfac
ing and the South approach. A
small crew is on the job.

Every LUCKY STRIKE is made of the
finest tobacco leaves the world can offer—the
finest from Turkey—the finest from Kentucky,
Tennessee, Virginia, Georgia and the Carolinas
— the Cream of many Crops throughout the
world. But all tobacco leaves, regardless of price
and kind, as nature produces them, contain harsh
irritants. LUCKY STRIKE'S exclusive "TOAST*
ING” Process—a process that mellows, that puri*
fies, that includes the use of the modem Ultra
Violet Ray—expels certain harsh irritants natu*
rally present in every tobacco leaf. We sell these
expelled irritants to manufacturers of chemical
compounds, who use them as a base in making
sheep*dip*, as well as a powerful spraying solu*
tion for trees, flowers and shrubs — enough to
permit the daily dipping of over 50,000 sheep or
the daily spraying of many thousands of trees.
Thus, you are sure these irritants, naturally pres*
ent in all tobacco leaves, are not in your LUCKY
STRIKE. “They're out—so they can't be ini"
No wonder LUCKIES are always kind
to your throat.
