The new invention, an evolution of the hot brick and electric warm- ing pad, consists of an extensive heating coil with several windings, fitted in the interior of the steel springs so that the entire surface of the mattress can be heated with the aid of a single plug contact. A rotary switch makes it possible to adjust the temperature of the bed to that of the room or to the exact ¥ ,Com degree desired. Should the weather grow cold or moderate during the night, a touch of the switch assures the equitable temperature of the bed. The new mattress demonstrated at the Leip-| sig Fair, is carefully insulated to prevent any contact or short cir- cuit. creased 8.9 percent. cities in the same seven months of (ducers to prepare for a further in- IN NEWSPRINT PRODUCTION 1,118,765 Tons Imported from Canada During First Half of 1936 |iod last year, while consumption in- This reflected a gain in advertising in the 52 major 9.3 percent over last year.

Mr. Moody went into the Cassiar with the Pendleton outfit in 1923 and later staked a placer lease on McDames creek which he sold at a favorable price. Following the striks | on Gold Pan by Hugh Ford and Bill Grady in 1923, he went in and staked on the upper end of Gold Pan. He | now has a lease at the mouth of the creek. “Gold Pan has produced more gold in the last ten years than all the rest of the Cassiar in that time,” stated Mr. Moody before leaving Wrangell last night. “It has never had any machinery on it. A. Vick- | ery, Ben Cambron and myself who hold the leases, working the ground | by the primitive methods of shovel- ‘tng in sluice boxes. “We each have a boom dam and while the dam is filling in work in the open cut, utllizing the boulders as a sheer board to increase the force of the water as it strikes frora the boulders, cutting into the gravel bank. The gravel is sluiced and the gold left lying in the bedrock.” Moody says the entire creek should be worked by one man, as every time a dam booms it interferes with the man working a lower lease. The gpld which has been taken out so far has been by sniping methods, work- |ing the easiest places and letting 'the hard ones strictly alone. 00000000000 O T o CUT-RATE LIQUOR STORE Says...

NEW DEAL SENTIMENT Sentiment is growing in inner New Deal circles that the reports of the committees working on Gov- ernment reorganization recommen- dations will provide an opportunity for pushing through desired coor- dination schemes within depart- ments. Such developments, insiders say, now are prevented by inter- bureau friction. ———.—.—— LESS WORK, MORE PAY Conference Board reports. Leland H.

Wind bellied her sails and she nosed north. That afternoon coast guard head- quarters in Washington was mes- saged that the “George and Earl” was headed toward American parts. And the “George and Earl” was on the coast guard’s black list of rum- runners, For days messages came in from coast guard cutters and planes that she had been sighted, still going north. Then she was lost. Finally the New York coast guard was warned she was headed into that harbor. They searched the miles of New York wharves, and finally customs agents spotted her sliding up the East river. She was boarded and seized. She held 32,- 000 gallons of alcohol. Coast guard intelligence here marked another boat off their list of suspects. Gone With Speak-Easy At times during the prohibition era as many as a hundred such boats have been reported in a sin- gle day lying in “Rum Row” out- side the 12-mile limit. But for several weeks now no such boat has been reported.

The new boats could move more swiftly than the rum schoon- ers they were trailing, so there fi- nally came a month in 1929 when the schooners had practically dis- appeared. New Fleet Elusive But in their stead came a new hovering fleet that was more diffi- cult to defeat. Bootleggers had pur- chased low-lying, engined boats which were difficult to see and catch. Their numbers rose again until March, 1933, the month of the bank holiday, when the rum fleet dropped again. Perhaps, says the coast guard, there was less money for liquor. Then came repeal. The fleet fell | off farther. But then the proprie- tors thought of a new cargo. For the most part, the runners had carried Scotch whiskey during pro- hibition. Now they turned to 190 proof alcohol. By August, 1934, the coast guard was again trailing and watching night and day. Secretary Margen- thau, of the Treasury, under whose direction the coast guard works, de- cided to wipe out Rum row. He IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII|IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlIlIIIIIIIII T called a conference of all his law enforcement units, and out of it worked a plan to co-ordinate coast, guard, customs agents and the al- cohol tax unit. A small land-sea army of detec- tives was pitted against the alcohol runners. Coast guard trailed the boats off-shore and seized them when they could. Customs and al- cohol tax men gathered evidence ashore, and patrolled the favorite dumping spots. The put few peaceful weeks seem say Rum row at lmn admih defeat.
