(COUNTRY SHOOLS T0 HAVE WINTER RECESS will Policy proves the kinship of the Asiatic and American islands, Both are of voleanic origin and ap- provimately the same age, thrust up by the underground fires that still smoulder around Mt Katmai and the | Valley of Ten Thousand 8mokes on the Alaskan Peninsula, at one end of the crescent, and in the numerous ac- tive craters of Kamchatka at the other, Eluded Early Explorers “Through the Komandorskie Ts- Jands are barely 100 miles off Kam- chatka and straight westward from the mouth of the Kamchatka rive from which the early Russian v ages started, they were not discov ered apparently during the 13 years from 1728 to 1741 when Bering and his fellow navigators were cruising along the Asiatic coast and looking eastward for land. After Rerling, in | his Kamchatkan-built ships, had found Alaska near Mt. St. Elias in 1741 and had worked his way back along the Aleutian chain, he sighted what is now- Bering Island, largest of the Komanderskies, but thought it was the Kamchatkan mainland. “Practically every one of Bering' company of 50 or more Wwas near death with scurvy. The ship could no longer be operated so was anchored, and the men moved ashore. Later a storm wrecked the vessel and in the following weeks Bering and many of his men died. After winter- | ing on the land which they found to | be an island, the survivors built a 36- | foot boat from the ship'swreckage and | reached Kamchatka. Before leaving, | the survivors christened the island | Komandorskie or Commander Islands. | The famous explorer's grave is still to be seen on the island which bear: his name. A Land of Bad Weather “The fog which put an end to Ma- jor MacLaren's flight shrouded the Komandorskies in Bering’s day, The log of the survivors states that there was scarcely a day of good weather | during the ten months they were on Bering island. In the winter there were snow storms or winds so strong that a man could not stand in them. | When summer came the land was us- ually covered by fogs. “The islands were mnot inhabited when Bering discovered them. A high lava ridge runs through Bering Ia- | land which is some 50 miles long. No trees grow save a few stunted willows. Driftwood reaches the island, how- ever, both from Asia and America. Once Frequented By Sca Cows “The waters ahout the Komandor- skies became an important whaling region in the early 19th centry, and at times as many as 400 whalers, largely New Englanders, were in the neighborhood. Huge ‘sea cows,’ 28 to 30 feet long, frequented the islands, browsing on the nnderwater forests of algae off the coasts, + These huge creatures have heen exterminated, as have most of the other sca mammals | \that visited the islands in early days. “Through the Komandorskles are almost the most remote hit of Russian | ‘territory from Moscow, they are ap- | parently firmly in the hande of the soviet republic. The American round- the- world fiyers came near finding the islands an end of thelr vovage last spring when they were blown e —— VITAL FACTS FOR WOMEN.

[t may ba the young woman suf- fering from pain or irregularities, a | mother who has brought on some weakhess or displacement from over- | work, or the middle aged woman | passing through the most critical per- iod of her life.

Another feature pointed out was that the teachers, who ordinarily spend their vacations attending sum- | mer schools, may now take advan- tage of the mid-winter vacation and attend normal school then, The Clark county schools under the | new plan opened August 4 and will continue in session flve months, clos- ing December 19.

What sys- tem can be devised to secure a Jimi- fation of armanents which will have the collahoration of the United States? These are some of the questions which men are turning over in their minds as the assembly approaches, Tt it felt here that the great diffi- culty to the attainment of anything practical in disarmament through the machinery of the League of Nations Is the absence of the United States from the league. This difficulty was clearly pointed out hy Premier Mac- Donald in his recent communication rejecting the provisional draft treaty of mutnal assistance. Another subject of preliminary as- sembly discussion is gland's rejec- tion of any plan, such as is contained in the pact of mutual assistance, to make the league council an executive body with very large powers in the control of military forces sent to oper- ate against aggressive states. England wants the council's prerogatives to be kept merely advisory, pointing out that under article 16 of the covenant, the council can only recommend ac- tion, while even under article 10 it can only advise. The trend of thought here is that the league must not seek to thrust its Tomorrow at 9A.
