more classes of the Hoquiam high

literally to the residence of Princi-
pal F. E. Schmidtke. the First Pres

the dairy in the residence district and
the high school gymnasium, and also
to several sections of wooden and con-
crete sidewalks. The thirty boys must
clean off the paint where possible and
where not to provide money to repaint
the building. In the case of the wood
en- sidewalks the boys found it neces-
sary to turn the planks to eliminate
"the evidence"

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Oct. 10
1t was announced officially here today

bassador. and head of the mission to
this country. now in Washington. Is
on the eve of accepting the proposal
by the State Department, which will
work out the problem along these
lines.
Since the embargo on steel plate
and SCRAP iron placed on shipments
to Japan, that country has been treat
ing with the United States for steel
and iron. A commission. headed by
Viscount Ishii, has been in the capi-
tai for some time. and the promise
of neutral aid in the loan of tonnage
will probably have the effect OF
loosening up the blockade.

Snow trenches and barricades built of

Thrilling trips in aerial tramways were
described where suspended in a little car

were swung across abyss after abyss.
The soldiers of the Alps were described
as consisting of men who have been
trained from childhood to climb, and as
the 'merriest, jolliest fighters of them
