PAGE NTN"E IS 10 PLANE BASES ON AIM ISLES Prepares Strategic Defense Positions for 200 Long Range Bombers on Japon- ski and Kodiak Islands KODIAK. Alaska (UP) The navy la quietly preparing two air bnse on Kodiak and Japonakl lalanda to accommodate at least 300 long-range patrol bombers to defend America' fair northern frontier. The bae on Kodiak Island la being constructed at Women 'a bay, five mllea from the town of Kodiak. The alte of the other base, on Japotukl lsatnd, la near Sitka. Lass than a year ago President Roosevelt set aside 16 square miles for the Kodiak baae. His act was described at the time as the moat Important step toward protection of Alaska from a possible attack from the far east or northwwrt. Women's bay was chosen as the alte for the principal base after yeara of study by the navy. The bay Is situated In a strategic position from the standpoint of the great circle sea routes. Rugged mountains preclude the possibility of the baae's capture by a land force. Small islands and reefa protect the a ward entrance to the Island har bor considerably. A further improve ment may be made by building up the sunken reefs with sa waits, thus creating virtually a land-locked an chorage for fleet units. Surrey Made latt Summer Navy engineers completed a survey of the base late last summer. It 1 understood the physical conditions disclosed In the survey proved the alto well-chosen. No obstacles were found, It Is said, that might Interfere with the developments planned. Concrete ramps, hangars, shops and other fncllltles will be built for the 100 or more planes that could operate from the base. An area In Women's bay will be dredged so that aircraft carriers can enter with eaae. A field for land planes also will be leveled. High land aurroTindlng the base Is suitable for anti-aircraft fortifica tions. The Island la situated In a central geographical position from the tip of the Aleutian Islands to the Cana dian border. It haa a mild climate that remits from the warm Japanese current. The harbors are free of Ice virtually tho year around. To Accommodate 1.200 Accommodation for 1.200 officers and men will be provided. The Japonskt Island base, directly across Sitka sound from the town of Slt-ka, will have the responsibility of defending southeastern Alaska. It is considered essential yet subordinate to the Kodiak Island base, and as a result probably will have a smaller force of planes. Japonskl Island formerly was used for a naval radio station. It waa commissioned as a permanent "air baae June 1. 1038. with a permanent personnel of fire officers and 110 enlisted men. Six bombers have op erated from the base the last year So far approximately $200,000 has been spent for Improvement of the bae. which will be enlarged so that at least 100 planes can be handled without congestion. It Is understood.

United Press Staff Correspondent SAN FRANCISCO ( UP ) Discovery of the high vitamin A content of shark liver oil, particularly valimble to poultry, has resulted In the de velopment of shark fishing as a ma jor Industry of California. Shark fishing has Its greatest ac tivity In San Francisco Biy and near-bv waters of the Pacific ocean. More than 35 fishing boats based here, operate out of this harbor dally and fish with "long lines" for the gray predatory fish that raise havoc with the striped bass and other game fish In California salt waters. Fishermen receive from 20 to $40 a ton for sharks, depending upon the species caught. The small dog shark Is the least valuable while the larger deep sea variety, whose fins are used for soup, brings the highest price. State fish and game officials, said more than 100 tons of sharks worm approximately $3000 to tho fishermen, have been unloaded In son Francisco during a single day. The shark meat other than the liver Is mane into fertilizer. Officials said the oil from shark livers Is packed Into five-gallon cans and shipped to refineries where It Is converted Into by-product tj provide- vitamin A for the California poultry industry. Special permits for the special type fishing gear used to catch the sharks have been Issued by the state fish and gome commission. N. B. Scofleld, chief of the bureau of marine fish eries, rcportrd. The permits requlro that fishing be done within a restricted zone; that hooks be baited with salt fish, and that the fishermen retain a boat and operator for the use of the marine warden In the supervision of the fish ing. Most species of shark, according to Scofleld, are heavy fish caters and It Is good conservation to reduce the number and destroy the advantage this species has over other fish caught for food or sport.

Kappelhoff, sculptor and artist, who formerly lived at Akron. Ohio, Is carving her own tombstone in the flower Rarden of her home here. The finished tombstone will portray a young girl, clothed In flow ing robes, hands clasped and head bowed In meditation. President Wood's theory of "Intelll gent consumption." Girls should know not only what to buy for food. clothing and shelter, he explains, but also how to appreciate life. Maude Adams On Faruiry "Thot's why Stephen haa obtained for It faculty people, like Maude Adams, who rank high In their pro fession,' he says. "She doesn't at tempt to tertch our girls how to be come actresses, but trlea to teach them how to be Intelligent theater patrons' When President Wood and Dr. W. W. Charters, who now divide hts educational research activities be tween Stephens snd Ohio State uni versity, put the clinic Idea Into ef fect, the enrollment stood At 3S0. This year It's 1500. Here are some of tho clinics Steph ens operates: Health besides caring for the alck and Injured. It teaches the funda mentals of personal hygiene. Here a fat girl can learn the correct waya to reduce and a thin girl can learn how to gain weight. Speech operates to Improve inef fective and unpleasant voices. Clothing teachoa how to dress economically and smartly. Beauty shows a girl how to dress her hair to accentuate the better points of her face; the proper appli cation of make-up, and the care of hair, skin and nails. Guidance stresses vocational ori entation. Intelligence and personal ity tests are given. Religion and philosophy it at tempts 'to guide the student Into a workable philosophy along the "gol den rule" basis. Stephens, affiliated with the Bap tist church. Isn't all clinics. It con ducts course In the usual college subjects. A federal report In 1036 said Stephens had probably the high est valuation of any Junior college t4.008.A41. But It Is best known because It teaches a girl such things aa keeping within a budget, how to be an Intelligent companion for a future husband, and how not to be a wallflower. There Is some proof that Stephens doea not graduate wallflowers. Statistics show that 80 per cent of her graduates marry within five years. sltlon no outright endorsement but asserted "Of course those who are supporting '30 every Thursday' would be supporting the Democratic parfcy."
