Columbia discovers a process Which produces
records free from Objectionable Surface Noise!

rs a phonograph owner you have always been annoyed
II by the swish and grinding and scratching noises of
records. This surface noise has been considered i'm
possible to remove. After years of experiment, the Column
ba Graphophone Company to-day presents to the worp
a record that is virtually noiseless.
This record has been made possible by the discovery, in Columbia
material SC fine in texture, 5 marveously smooth, SO free from friction
that the photograph needle travels over it almost inaudibly and with
impercepthe wear.
The playng-result from the use of this new material is actually
astounding-no other word can describe it. Melody unmarried by
penetrating, obhusive surface sounds, harmony without dnconcerting
scratch or scrape-think what this means to you and to every phono-
graph owner in the world.
This is made practical by Columbas patented Eliminated, " three
ply, construction. The core r centre leaf in Columbia New Process
Records, because it is absolutely distinct from the playing surfaces, is
made of a harder, more durable substance. Over this rigid backbone
are laid the two playing faces made of the new, ultra fine, ultra smooth
surface fabric.
This laminated construction gives greatly increased strength and
longevity plus the most noiseless surface ger perfected.

CITY COUNCIL TO ASSUME
 CONTROL OF UTILITIES SOON

As a result of the special cleo tion held recently, on which occasion the voters of the town expressed their desire for the city to assume control of the public utilities, the city council, at a special meeting held this morning, with Col. Mears and Engineer John J. Longacre in attendance, accepted the proposal of Col. Mears to lease the Alaskan Engineering Commissions power plant and telephone system on a basis that will be mutually satis- sfactory. MT. Barndollar will come to Nenana from Anchorage in the very near future to arrange the de- tails of the transfer. and it is ex- pected the city will be in charge within the next sixty days.
 4 number of improvements will be made at the power plant by the Commission before the transfer is made. The boilers already have been put in first class condition and turbine engines are to be installed to elimination vibration and econo- mise in overhead. It is also planned to build an addition to the power plant building for the accommoda- tion of the telephone exchance and  it is possible the present telephone building will be taken over jointly by the city and the railroad organ ization for use as a fire department building. This is a detail, however, that has not been definitely decided upon as yet.
 It was pointed out by Col. Mears that the leasing arrangement would not involve the city financially. as would the purchase of a new plant, and he expressed the belief. as did also Mir. Longacre, that it will be possible to operate the present plant very economically when the pro- posed changes are made.

Z The Greeks in the suburbs of Con-

they are richer than the Turks. In
Constantinople proper the Greeks, il
born in the city and Turkish citizens
will remain. So far the Turks have
refused to permit the Greek patri-
arch to stay because he is reported
to have led the Greek agitation
against the Turks. but the Turks may

nearly all insist on carrying out the
plan. lsmet Pasha and Venizelos
never close 4 discussion without ac.
cusing each other of having proposed
it. The latter declared that the Greeks
never wished to exchange populations
but accepted Fridtjof Nansen's pro-
posal in the belief that the Turks

atantly that the refugee question be
settled to prevent a miserable winter
for the shelterless.
There is no doubt that the Turks
want the Greeks removed from Turk

come q minority which the Turks
cannot assimilate. The Turks also
claim that the Greeks are expelling
