ALASKAN 0|L BOOM
 RIVALS GOLD RUSH
Thrilling Scene of 0lden Days
 Will Be Re-enaCted Soon

Anchorage, Alaska, Oct, 9.-An- lnouncement that big oil interests>wi' soon start drilling for oil in the Ct~l Bay district of Alaska promises to bring the thrilling scenes of gold rush days to life again, according to men who have visited the new fields recently. For this new oil country, say those who know something of the hardships attendant upon stam- pede, is probably more rigorous than the wind swept reaches surround 9ng Cape Nome, | The Barrens at Cold Bay offer 'no shelter against the sweep of the wind, land the absence of fuel, save beach wood and paraffine. will add to the suffering of the prospectors who plan Ito invade the country.
 The uninvting prospect, however will not hold back the adventurers for already the regular steamers and launches plying between Seward and Kodiak are booked to capacity weeks ahead. Of these the men entering from Alaska will have the advantage of being outfitted for an indefinite stay and already hardened ro the rig ors of the northern winter.
 | Rival interests have been shipping lumber and supplies into the district for some time and the erection Of mushroom towns is expected to soon take place at several designated points Many of the promoters, ae- cording to those on the ground, are merely there to make their stake out of the general conditions surround | ing the boom. Of the others who are joining the rush, some are only going in for the adventure while | few will seriously attempt the ex- ploitation of the resources presumed to be there. The announcement has served to stimulate interest in other parts of the territory and efforts are being made to attract attention to dis | coveries made in the Anchorage and Susitna Valleys.

FOG ID
 BE DRIVEN AWAY
Scientists VIII Devise Means Of
 Eliminating It

Pittsburgh. Oct. 7--Pittsburgh's fog problem may be solved this winter by local scientists.
 fabrication of the Monongahela river is the keynote of an idea which is being developed at the Mellon In stitute Dr. H. B. Meller, dean of the school of mines of the University Of Pittsburgh, and officials of the war department and weather bureau are cooperating.
 River Responsible.
 The Monongahela, according to scientists, is the chief villain in Pitts ,burgh's fog troubles. The river, which is warmer than the air sweep ing through the valley, gives up a portion of its water which rises as vapor and quickly cools.
 A film of oil prevents this union, but the problem for the investigators at Mellon institute was to concoct a mixture that could be used at req sonable expense.
 A satisfactory spray has been dis covered, Dean Meller has announced. In preliminary tests this spray cov- cred small areas of water, and was only 18th as thick as the ordinary oil film which is used to destroy mos quitoes.
 The first experiment on the Monon- gahela will be made within few days. The bombardment will be from tug. Specially constructed nozzles will be used to spray an area of about one mile Subsequent ac- tivities will depend upon the outcome of this test

FIGURES INDICATE
 CLUBS LOST MONEY
Despite the Large Attendance They Face . Deficit-Players Fare Bet
 ter Than Last Year.

That the two clubs that staged the world series in all probability failed te meet expenses Is indicated in the recap apitulation of the official figures. Each club. according to the totals for the four games In which players, clubs and the advisory council shared, actually gets $s2,436.b7, but each has to pay half of that amount to its re- spective league treasury under the rules, so that the owners received only $41,21s.2s. each out of the dis tribution. This sum will scarcely re- munerate the Giants and Yankee clubs for their financial outlay.
 Just few short of 1s6,ooo fans games. Of this amount the receipts of the second game. the to 3 ten inning game, went to charity leaving s4s4.921 as the net receipts. The players share, including those mem- bers of the two teams in each league to finish second and third in the pen nant races, was $2l7,S09.71. Seventy five per cent of this amount, about $185,4S2 Is to be divided among the IDcHipcTo VI lilS lWO Woiia nNilcc teams, so per cent to the Giants and 40 per cent to the Yankees, and the other s61,s27 to the runners up in the league scrambles.
 The victorious Giants thus get $111,2s9 to split among themselves, but since the division is rarely equal to all who are eligible--one or two generally getting small cut-it is impossible to tell accurately what the average slice will be. The prospect, however. Is about $5,0o0
 The losing Yankees get the balance of s74193, which, figured on a basis of conjecture similar to that used in estimating the individual Giants share, would be about s3,5o0 each. The figures follow:

Steel Skeleton Of New Diet Bmld-
 ing Shows Over Trees

Tokio, Oct. 9.-1The steel skeleton of Japans new diet building which is being erected at Kasumigaseki, not far from the imperial palace in Tokio, is beginning to show itself over the tops of the trees by which lit Is surrounded. The structure is to be the third largest parliament build ing in the world. the capital at Wash ington and the houses of parliament in London being the only ones to ex- ceed 1t in size.
 The estimated cost is 22,500,00o yen, which is being spent at the rate of 3,000,00o a year, so that it will be another six years before 1t is com pleted. It was started two years ago. Steel used in the structure and the concrete IS from local plants. Inter for fittings, electrical apparatus. glass and heating apparatus, will be pur- chased from Japanese manufacturers If they can supply suitable materials.
 Mir. Kimoto, chief of construction, fears that French glass may have to be ordered but points out that local glass manufacturers have some five or six years yet to produce satisfac-
 tory grade of their product Eleva- tors probably will come from abroad. The site is one of the best in the
 world. Standing on a high elevation, the building will face eastward over the tops of the foreign office and sur rounding embassies and legations, down the broad expanses of uchisai- waicho and over Tsukiji, the old for eign settlement, and Tokio bay.

AUSTRIANS SAID ID BE BOARDING MONEY
Pessimism Causes People to Save Every Cent Possible

London, Oct. 7.-The people of Austria are hoarding their money; it would take 10,00o,o0o pounds to place Austria on her feet again. financially yet Austrians have in Swiss banks an amount estimated at 1s,o0o,o0 pounds.
 These statements are continued in a report made by the British depart ment of overseas trade on the eco- homie condition of Austria. In sum- ming up the Austrian situation this report says: $
 'The psychological difficulty is the prevalent pessimism which inhibits initiative on the parts of the Aus trians themselves, and makes them look solely abroad for salvation. The amount of foreign credits generally estimated to be necessary to place Austria on it's feet again by stabilizing the currency and founding new bank of issue is about 1o,oo0,o0o pounds.
 Banks Are Full.
 Tt is an open secret that, despite the law to the contrary, very much larger sums in foreign currencies than this are hoarded by Austrians, both inside and outside the country; the amount lying in Swiss banks alone has been estimated at 1S,000,000 pounds
 But these resources lie idle be- cause the owners have no confidence in the government or the future of the country. Probably both the po- litical and psychological difficulties can be overcome most easily by f1nan- cial assistance given by foreigners un- der suitable control and conditions. The Austrians, however must show
