Buch, chief detective of the hotel world. The gray - haired, bespectacled “Sherlock Holmes,” chairman of the protective committee of the American Hotel Association, said that claims entered with the asso- ciation alone totaled $366,994. From 1928 to 1937 hotels lost $3,- 665,315 as 85978 complaints were registered against hotel guests. But, said Chief Hotel Detective Buch, people generally are pretty honest.

Dl DOUGLAS NEWS SCIHOOL ISSUES DOMINATE ATTENTION CITY COUM Th ture of the stucco mix for the school and the kind of locks and stops on the doors of the build- ing were the main topics of discus- sion at the regu weekly session of the Douglas City Council last evening. It was brought out that the method being used for prepar- ing {he stucco with hot lime is con- trary to the recommendations of the Portland Cement Company whiéh advises cold pulverized lime to be used. A white color versus brown for painting the stucco was the preference voted by the Coun- cil. The trims of the school are to be light gray. The problem of the mix will likely be settled today and the proposition of the locks goes over to the next meeting Among communications present- ed at the meeting was one from Standard Oil advising of the pro- I taxing of fuel oil one cent per gallon by the present Congres and urging protest to Delegate Di mond be made. This the Council voted to do as did the Juneau city fathers. Another letter from Con- tractor Peterman offering a certi- fied check for $250, to cover guar- antee of the change to the full au- tomatic oil burner. Contract regu- lating the indemnity covered is to be drawn up for the city. A letter from Virginia Mason Hospital with bill for care of Bob Dupree amount- ing to $426.34, was laid on the table until the doctor’s charges on the case are received. The amount sed of $300 was reported acceptable in settlement of their claim against the Hollywood photographers call Danielle Darrieux, l screen star recently imported from Frarce. most beav'iful in the film capital. that she is the most temperamental of younger | ERROL FLYNN GOES BOATING, - WEST INDIES Film Star M?;Have Com- pany If He Takes All Who Apply By ROBBIN COON HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Ms: First day after he announced he would sail for the West Indies in his new boat, Errol Flynn received 24 letters from fans who wanted tc go along—with or without pay. The letters are still coming. The new boat, formerly the “Avenir,” is being rechristened the Sirocco.
