Strait, where Aula and America
nearly meet, recently was spanned -by
air when an aviator flew 'from
Nome to a vessel lying in the !
Arctic ocean' beyond the north
shore of Siberia. J
"Less than 300 years ago, Bering
Strait had not been crossed by a 1
boat with a civilized navigator in
command," says a bulletin from
the Washington,' D. C, headquar- t
' ters of the National Geographic '
Society. "Since then,' whalers, !
Arctic explorers, and adventurers
nave passed through and across
the strait.
Fog Hid America front Early
Ki plot-era
"About twenty . years1 after the
Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rook
- two Russian , expeditions' .sailed
" along the western bahk of Bering
Strait without seeing the American !
side. Later a trading station was i
established on- the Russian bank,
but it was nearly a century later
that Alaska was explored from the
west. : ' '
"Rumors were current at the
Russian trading station that there
was an Island In the strait, hidden
by the fog that envelops the region
and that America lay to the east.
The "island proved (o be ' two
islands now known as Diomecles.
Today one of the Diomedes belongs
to Russia; the other, to the United
States, for the International boun
dary line runs between them. They
are Inhabited by Eskimos , who
make their living chiefly as 'go
betweens for American and Rus
sian traders. - '
Strait, Sea and Island Named
for Bering
"Bering Strait and Bering sea
take their names from Vitus Ber
ing, a lan!sh navigator who en
listed, in the RuHHiun nuvy in 1703.
Peteruhe Great ordered him to the
east coast of. Siberia in 1725. lie
went overland .. tov Okhotsk and
then to Kamchatka where he built
a ship for his explorations. He
sailed up the Bering sea coast but
America was hidden in the fog.
Op a- subsequent voyage,, in 1741,
he saw the American continent for
the first time. On his way back to'
Siberia, Bering's ship was wrecked
on what is now known as Bering
'sland in the Commander group.
Sailors who reached the mainland
carried tho story ;of .the fur trade
possibilities In Alaska and)' soon
Russian trappers' and' traders
moved to the new. continent.
"If the international boundary
line continued nrth and south,
as it does through the strait,- half
of the Aleutians would belong to
Russia. But at the south end of
. the strait it veers, southwestward,
missing the western end o the
Aleutian chain by about 150 miles.

"The Commander islands form
the only group on the Russian side
of the line while the United States
acquired the Lawrence, St.

critics of the purchase.

NORFOLK-. Va. (&) The popu
larity of tatoolng Is waning. This
Is the opinion of the needle and j
in artists who follow the trade '
here.
"Tntootng has seen its best
days." one veteran holds. "The late
cxar of Russia was tattooed nnd
there was a time when many so
ciety folk took to It, but now our
work is confined chiefly to sai
lors." I
Designs of wide variety "adorn
the walls of the '-'parlors' where
the tattooers play their calling.
One finds girls' heads, represen
tative of many races; caricatures:
vignettes of clumsy steamers sink
ing In heavy seas; religious
images; 'arrangements of hearts
and doves with the word "mother"
or "sweetheart" Intertwined; bath
ing beauties; butterflies and bat
tleships. The veteran needleman believes
people get tattooed because "they
are still savages underneath, and
they like to get themselves up to
look pretty."
, lie says, however, it is "Just a
sort of trudltloh with Bailors."

The grand sweepstakes award as
well as first prize in its own class

gers. She won the trophy In class
1-A nnd the sweepstakes trophy

Under Mrs. Lawrence's able han
dling the car only used 1 gallons
of gasoline and no oil or water.
The Kord averaged 35.5 ton miles
