As to the remainder of the court, there is nothing to indicate that the election had more than aca- demic interest to them. Justice Brandeis, just turned 82, is the eldest member, but gives no hint of a desire to retire. In fact, the reverse seems true—that he wishes| to continue as long as he is able to handle his work, possibly with an eye to equalling the record of the| late Justice Holmes. The Supreme Court may follow the election returns but its pres- ent membership indicates it will lag considerably in any tendency there may be toward great conser- vatism. Justices Black, Reed, Stone and Brandeis are definitely liberal, and mor- often than not are joined by Hughes and Roberts. And the vacancy caused by the death of Justice Cardozo is yet to be filled. — e — Stock QUOTATIONS NEW YORK, Dec. 8. — Closing quotation of Alaska Juneau mine stock today is 9%, American Can 93%, American Light and Power 5%, Anaconda 33, Bethlehem Steel 70, Commonwealth and Southern 1%, International Harvester 59, Kenne- cott 42%, New York Central 17!

The Foundry was ahead until the last half of the game.

Farrell, supervisor of #!s and crafts in the office of the Bureau of Indian Affairs: acee- panied by Mrs. Farrell, left for the south yesterday on the steamer Princess Norah. The Farrells expect to wisit for a time in Seattle before motoring to the Dakotas for a sojourn with their parents, planning to return here during <the. latter part of February. Previous to their departure the Farrels were the incentive for many social functions, among those en- tertaining were Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Worley, Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Fitz- mmons and the O. S. Sullivans. 3 says George Daynor (above), as he proudly shows the minaret-topped palace he buiit at Vineland, N. J., from odds and ends of junk found on a swamp at Vineland. A former Klondike prospec- tor, Daynor started building his “Palace Depression”—which is what he calls the house—in 1933, when he reached Vineland almost broke. Auto parts, petrified logs, bits of scrap metal and rocks went into the “palace.” p
