Its wingspan is 200 feet, or two-thirds the length of a football field. Its propellers are the largest in the world, measuring 17.6 feet—as high as the second floor of the average house. And to sarry this com- | parison a little further, the cubic content of the hull | alone—exclusive of the wings—is equal to that of a fourteen-room house.

Lott was killed at his home near Thane, and some 36 hours since the discovery of the crime, officials had advanced little in their solution of the mystery. Even the motive was still a matter of conjecture and the identity of the murderer one of hopeless speculation. Funeral services for the murdered man were conducted by Dean C. E. Rice at Holy Trinity Cathedral and pallbearers were John Reck, R. P. Nelson, Grover C. Winn, H. T. Tripp, W. W. Casey and J. B. Marshall, all of whom had known Capt. Lott for many years. H. L. Faulkner, who with Mrs. Faukner and their little daughter Jean, returned home the previous night from an outing at Hilda Creek cn Douglas Island, reported a successful fishing trip. ‘A party made up of the Faulkners, J. F. Mullen and family and W, 8. Pullen and family, had left several days previously on the Lone Fisherman for Hilda Creek. Mr. Faulkner and family returned with Jack MecDonald, the remainder lof the party planning to stay for several more days. Mrs. Charles Goldstein and her daughter, Maric, were to leave for the South on the Admiral Evans. Miss Goldstein was to attend school in California during the winter. Oliver Drange, Manager of the Juneau Cold Storage plant, left Juneau on his gasboat Juno on a pleasure cruise in this vicinity. He iexpected to be away for five or six days. Miss Orcella Rexford, B. §., psychologist, was to give four lectures 'in Juneau for the benefit of the American Legion Building Fund. The K]eclur% were to be held at Elks’ Hall and were to be on applied psychol- |ogy and character analysis. Erection of a radio broadcasting station in Juneau during the season was threatened with delay by the inability of those interested to procure the necessary equipment. E. O. Schombel, who had been in the south for several weeks wired that he was unable to secure vital parts in either Seattle or Portland. Arrangements had been made to secure a | radio set from Col. J. C. Gotwals, of the Alaska Road Commission, but the set lacked a broadcaster tubs Weather was cloudy with a maximum temperature of 72 and a minimum of 67 | et e Daily Lessons in English % 1. corbon WORDS OFTEN MISUSED: Do not say, mith is a splendid WEDNESDAY, JULY 29, 1942 DIRECTO] e Fraternal Societies Gastineau Channel e DU | MOUNT JUNEAU LODGE NO. 14 | SECOND and FOURTH Monday of each montk in Scottish Rite Temple | beginning at 7:30 p. m R.
