Lucas in the old Postoffice Building on Third Street between Main and Seward eets. On and after that date water rentals will bo collected and other business of the company transacted in the new | location, announced John Reck, agent of the water company today. Holds Bank Offices Reck will continue to hold the presidency and a directorship of the First National, but he will| not maintain a permanent desk in | the financial institution. Tt will be managed, as now, by Samuel E. Pope. Mr. Reck will make his headquarters and spend his busi- ness hours at the ofifce of the water company. “The moving of the water com- pany’s office from the bank is due to the latter's crowded condition,” said Mr. Reck. “In the new quar- ters in the old Postoffice Building the company’s affairs can be trans- acted with greater convenience to the public.

The flames were caused by an overheated stove in the suite of | rooms occupied by Mr. and Mrs.| wrilliam Bresline, wallpaper close to the flué Igniting, AT g Mrs, Bresline had started a fire in the stove and then had gone L0 town to do some shopping. No one was left in the apartment to check the stove and it became ex- cessively hot. The damage was estimated at about $100, fully covered by in- surance. Sam Felden, owner of the apart- ment building, was greatly pleas- ed with the efficiency of the Fire Department. This morning he expressed his appreciation in a let- ter to Pire Chief J. L. Gray. A call was made on the Fire Department for an extinguisher at 9 o'clock last night by Jack Dal- ton. Soot in the chimney of his place of residence on Fourth Street between Seward and Frank- lin Streets, became ignited. The harmless blaze was soon put out. e — EUROPE’S MIXUP IN RADIO WAVES BAR TO STATIONS LONDON, Oct. 22—An interna- tional control board with broad powers may have to be devised to keep the ether waves above Europe from becoming so crowded that they will be of little use to any broadcaster. Authorities have been watching with growing alarm the slow but sure choking up of wavelengths as station after station has increased its power. Britain is particularly hard hit by the increasing confusion since all British stations are sandwiched between two continental high pow- er stations from which they are separated by a frequency of only nine kilocycles. Nearly all stations on the conti- nent are making still further in- creases in their power. Stuttgart now, for instance, is only nine kilocycles above the London re- gional and has a similar power of 70 kilowatts, while Graz, the pow- erful Austrian station, is only nine kilocycles below the London sta- tion. The International Broadcasting Union, meeting in Rome has been considering steps to combat the radio menace, and may act at this time. A British Broadcasting Company official discussing the problem thinks that in the interests of good reception wavelengths should be sacrificed and that Europe should - have fewer stations. . ————— CYOROVICH IN HOSPITAL 1 ¥ Peter Cverovich of Punter Bay is a patient in St. Ann’s hospital, having entered yesterday'for medi- ¢..]1 treatment. the exp: radio a NEW YORK.—For a bad case of “depression blues” there is nothing better than an afternoon spent at the tenth annual Exposition of Women's Arts and Industries. In- stead of wringing their hands and bewailing their vanished bank ac- counts, women have launched out on amazing new ventures, others have persisted very profitably the more usual business of interior decoration, photography, tea room management. ‘Walk down the rows of cream colored booths and you pass more than one hundred exhibitors.

An interested group one of the most unusual displays, that of “Mrs. Frederick Fox, wife of a prominent physician. Last year she started a mink-breeding farm at her country home at South Salem. With minks selling at $150 a pair, it is easy to understand Mrs. Fox's enthusiasm. *Besides,” she insists, “they are really fas- cinating creatures with varied per- sonalities,” and she coaxed a reluc- tant and brown-furred Bad Boy out of his house for an introduc- tion. The mink it seems is a hardy creature. Given his exercise wheel, his bathtub and sterilized kennel, his dose of cod liver oil and to- mato with his horse meat—the to- mato prevents an acid reaction of all things—he thrives. In fact, he demands so little attention that Mrs. Fox finds time to winter in N sionally. Just glance over the inventions on exhibit. ‘There is everything from spinach rinsers to electric controls for motor cars, from anti- thumb-sucking . devices to metal foot baths. “Inventors’ Row" is al- ways popular. Here the inventors of models patented but not yet mar- keted show their wares, keeping a sharp lookout for the prospective promoter. A capable-looking person with graying hair is busily pressing a dress with a new sort of iron, a really ingenious affair that may serve as a hot plate or reach the most inaccessible sleeve seams of a frock. Albertine Ruelland was a lady's maid for years, and needed just such an iron in her work. In this case, as in so many, necessity was the mother of invention. Beulah Louise Henry, of Mem- Phis, is one of the most outstanding women inventors, with forty-two patents to her credit.

All members of the panel not residing in Juneau or Douglas {were excused for the remainder of the current term. Those living here and on the Island were excused until November 16, when they are to- report to serve in two civil actions for trial. On motion of ihe United States ‘erney's Office, Judge Harding this morning dismissed the indiet- ment against Bill Keane by which he was charged with obtain- ing goods under false pretense and | embezzlement by bailee. Keene was Irecently convicted of larceny in ! dwelling, but has not been sen- tenced. A case against C.. B. Wyatt, charging him with buying fish {from unlicensed fishermen, brought upon appeal from the United States Commissioner's court at Peters- burg, was continued for the time being by Judge Harding. These were the last two cases on the criminal calender set down for trial at the current term. copies without the use of carbon paper. Emergency cosmetic packs, oil silk galoshes, mattress turners, play trays for children, double baby car- riages for children at different ages —there is a bewildering array. Young and old, from East and West, the hopeful inventors have flocked to New York with their bright ideas. Nor are their hopes in vain. Already, it is said, on2 lucky woman has found a purchas- er fro her invention and four more are negotiating with possible pros- pects. Certainly woman's ingenuity has given the lie to the old saying that there is nothing new under the sun. ——————— NORTHLAND IS DUE IN PORT TOMORROW NIGHT Motorship Northland is due to arrive in port tomorrow night at 8 o'clock from the south.
