DOLLAR LIMI SET ON SALES BY MERCHANTS No Votes Given on Sales Under $1 Except by The- atres and Cabs, Ruling Minimum sales was the chief point at the Better Times Drive Merchants Committee luncheon at the Terminal today. All members agreed upon setting a minimum of 100 votes for $1 to govern all sales, with the ex- ception of theatres and cab compan- ies. In making the two exceptions. the committee announced that out of fairness to the two lines of Qusi- ness whose individual sales seldom total $1, the change was made. The problems of wholesale and dis- count business were settled by the committee. Teeth were put in Rule 4, which states that “votes will be given only on strictly retail busi- ness.” The purpose of the drive is to stimulate retail business, and after today, January 24, no votes will be icsued on the payment of wholesale bills or accounts over shelf prices the committee ruled. This elimin- ates the questions arising from wholesale purchases by merchants, boarding houses, cafes, hotels, and similar businesses. Eligibity Question The following rule was pointed out in deciding the eligibility of candi- dates: Girls 17 years and six monthc old are considered as 18, at the start | of the contest. Girls less than 30 years and six months old at the end of the contest are permitted to com- pete, the committee said. Final de- cision as to the eligibility of candi- dates will be made by the committee at the close of nominations. Rules Now in Effect The rules passed by the committee , will be placed in effect Sat- , January 25. All tickets issued will be stamped by tne firm issuing them, and are void unless so marked This measure was decided on by the committee out of fairness to all con- cerned. Votes already cast in ballot boxes will be considered legal, how- ever, the committee said A special bulletin will be issued to merchants covering these regula tions. - Kipling_’s Ashes Placed in Westminster Abbey LONDON, Zan. 24.—The ashes of Rudyard Kipling were placed in the Poet’s Corner in W minister Abbey yesterday after- noon with simple rites.

WOLF PACKS ON INCREASE ; MANY REINDEER DEAD Nome Reports Extermina- tion of Animals Ur- gently Needed News of vast increases in the num- ber of wolves in the Nome section and northern Alaska was received today by the Governor’'s office, in a request from Paul Stafford, Acting | Reindeer Supervisor at Nome, that measures be taken to exterminate the predatory animals. The wolves are running in large | packs, according to Stafford, and have killed as many as 60 reindeer in one night recently. Native hu ers are said to be havihg little su 55 !in reducing the number of the beasts, and extermination before the !reindeer fawning season is said to be vitally necessary. Governor Troy conferred ~with Hugh W .Terhune, Executive Officer fof the Alaska Game Commission, concerning measures that may be ta- ken. It is said that poisoning the animals is prohibited under Alaska law, and that trapping apparently is the best solution. United Manager Briggs of the Reindeer Service has returned to Nome after a field trip made to gauge the wolf population, according to Stafford’s message, and Reindeer | Supervisor Lyman Brewster has been informed of the situation. Reports from Noorvik, Kiana, Sela- wik and Noatak coincide with Briggs report that wolf depredations are increasing, with the short days giv- ing hunters little chance to cope with | the ravages. Point Barrow and Shak- toolik also reported large packs in those areas - - Veteran Stage, Screen Actor Dies in South LOS ANGELES, Cal, Jan. 24 | William Robyns, aged 81, for 70 years a stage and motion picture character actor, died here last night. rnick’s Chats == GIRL SCOUT TROOP COMMITTEE MEETS; SILVER TEA PLANS A regular meeting of the Girl Scout Troop Committee was recently held at the home of Mrs. A.
