-AncnOfd9o Has r lUe SCHOOL
 Work will berun shortly on the interior of the third floor of the Anchorage Public School which was not completed at the time the building was con- structed last winter. It is plan ned to partition this floor into class rooms and an assembly hall. Additional room is imper- ative to care for the large at tendance. 214 pupils having en- rolled during the last school term. Other improvements con- templated include the level ing of the school grounds; the installation of a sewer to con- meet with the sewer system on the south side and to the base ment on the north side: Dlac- ing two sets of steps leading to entrances on the east end; in Stallation of three drinking fountains; providing suitable ventilation for class rooms and assembly hall; ash-hoisting ap- paratus; construction of coal chute, reconstruction of the chimney; additional electric wiring and fixtures; painting and calcimining the interior of the building; and erecting a fence around the school yard.
 When the above work is con- pleted Anchorage will have the most modern school structure in Alaska, and since the expense will be met by the funds re- ceiyed by the Government from the sale of lots within the townsite, it is in reality a gift from the Federal Government to the residents of the city. The people of Anchorage may we'll be proud of this building, and thanks are due the Federal Government for having made its construction possible in the first instance, and also for handing over free of all cost the complete structure itself.

RUN MOTOR CARS WITH GAS
Scotch Engineers Use II as Substitute
for Gasoline for Short Runs
or City Use.

The unprecedented war demand
for gasoline is stimulating the search
for substitutes.
The latest fuel to be used success
fully to run a motor car is COM
pressed Illuminating gas. The tests
were carried out by the city officials
of Glasgow, Scotland. A machine
was specially built with two big high
pressure tanks and a low-pressure
tank where the gas could expand on
its way to the engine. The cars are
said to have run perfectly. The en-
gineers say that mechanism can
easily be devised with which the auto
engine can be used for COMPRISING
the gas into the tanks.
They conclude that the fuel is
cheap, and quite practicable for
short runs or city use, although the
supply will have to be renewed much
oftener than is the case with gaso-
line.

KITCHEN WASTE TO CATTLE
Bodice Of Dead Animals Also Are
Made Into Fodder Cakes
In Germany.

Kitchen waste and table scraps in
Germany are subject to collection in
cities of more than 10000 inhabit-
ants, and special wagons are pro-
vided for this purpose, Alonzo E.
Taylor writes in the Saturday Eve
ming Post. The collected materials
are dried and pressed into cakes and
then delivered to communal su-
thorities, who allot them as fodder
for milk cows.
1t has been estimated that the per
capita waste thus saved amounts to
more than one ounce day, and that
the milk derived therefrom,. was
equal to 1000, 900 quarts day. AMI,
NAL waste matter has been utilized
to the practical exclusion Of all loss.
Slaughterhouse refuse, Bones, bodies

fish and mussels are dried, pressed

Such materials used to go to the
