Senator Milton Young BY has attempted to cut down the flow HAROLD of dollars to Russia by introducing ARNETT a bill to prohibit the importation of furs from Russia. He says this nation imports $59 million worth of raw furs per year from that fountainhead of Communism. However, the U.S. tariff commission opposes the senators bill, contending that the Russian furs do not compete to any great' extent with American furs. We dont think the tariff commission is on sound ground when it makes this claim. While Russian furs may not be made from the same kind of animals that are the fur producers for the American market, to American womanhood a fur coat is a fur coat. is r, Howl For Winner Hurts Football ... post-seaso- big-tim- long-rang- lead-orshi- HowtOEIE5B AAA Sinking A Leader is hardly anything more pestiferous to the fly fisherman than a leader which wont sink when it should.

Spanish Spain newspapers have reported the British are experimenting with a revolutionary crewless submarine in the waters off Gibraltar. Some dispatches in the newspapers report that although the British admiralty is cloaking the project in secrecy, the submarine has dived to the greatest depth yet achieved anywhere in the world. The newspapers also report that the French navy is experimenting with a new type submarine that uses water for fuel. Water is decomposed into hydrogen and oxygen in a high temperature chamber heated by kerosene. The two gases are then propelled into the engine where they are ignited. This type engine fuel is not entirely new. In Sweden, water is used as fuel on some trucks and has been found to be a 50 per cent saving over other types. )ne County in U.S. Has No Federal IIANDY RACK TO MAKE HANDY RACK FOB BLUING-- SOAP.

It does exist, however, 525 square miles of grassland and gumbo which supports thousands of cattle, jack rabbits, coyotes and grouse. Armstrongs claim to fame as the only U.S. county without a federal employee was revealed, in a report issued recently by the joint committee on reduction on nonessential federal expenditures, headed by Senator Byrd of Virginia. Armstrong county is part of the Cheyenne river Indian reservation. The land is virtually inaccessible. It is bound on the south by the Cheyenne river and on the east by the Missouri river.

He reported he was getting ready for bed when a big cougar crashed through the window of his cabin 120 miles northwest of Vancouver. He fought barehanded in the dark, punching and kicking the 60 pound cat as it went for his throat. The crazed cougar clawed and chewed at my right arm and I managed to throat, he said. drag him to a corner of the cabin and grabbed a butcher knife. Using my left hand, I plunged the knife into his throat and stomach. McLean ran barefooted, and clad only in his underwear, to his nearby rowboat, intending to summon help from a line cabin six miles to the south. A brisk wind kept him adrift for more than two hours. He reached the cabin but no one was there. He was too weak to strike a light He crawled into a sleeping bag and slept for nine hours in subzero temperature. When he awoke, he used the transport departments telephone to call for help. Two men rushed McLean 54 miles to a hospital. Then they returned to his cabin. The cougar was still alive, but barely breathing. A bullet finished it off. Englands Forces Now Have Women In Service 23,000 LONDON, Eng.
