Juneau an Electrical Town
 Electrical Appliances Used

Juneau housewive5 are rated as among the most modern in the United States, at least from the viewpoint O. ihe electrician, according to Frank Parrish, Alaska repres entatlve Of me Fcbes Supply Company. an eiectflcai equipment concern of Seattle There are more electrical appliances per capita on Gastineau Channel than in any other known district declAred Mr. Parrish, in support Of his asser- ton.
 Rummaging abou, in his note books, Mir Parrish brought 10 light the following fignes showing the extent to which elactr.cu appliances have penetrated this city. There are approximately 300 electric ranges, 200 washing machines. 900 vacuum clean CTS, 1000 irons, d large number or percolaters, numerous Grills, sewing machines, curling irons, heat pads, vibrators and others in daily use in Juneau
 Power Is Cheap
 Cheap power is assigned by MT. Parrish as the reason why Juneau has such a large, array of household electric apparatus in use. In this connection he said: ''The local pow CT company is selling electricity 'cheaper than it is sold anywhere else in the Territory, or in fact cheaper. with one or two possible eX captions, than anywhere in the United States"j He credits this large ly to w S. Pullen, local manager ol the company, who, he said, realized when he assaulted charge at the time rates were cut to 5 cents per kilo- watt that it was necessary to build up the load if he was to save his company a loss Special inducements were offered to local people to get them to use electricity for other things than lighting their dwellings and business houses. The result has been very creditabIe to both the town and MT Pullen, said AIr. Par rish
 Power Great Asset
 "One of Juncau's greatest assets" he declared, 'is the wonderful power development of the Alaska Gastineau Gold Mining Company. Though the mine itself may pass away forever, this power factor will not be allowed to remain in id1eness. Sooner or later it will be put to causing the wheels of industry to leap forward again. Within the past three months I was assured by Mir. George T.. Jackson, formerly general manager for the Gas; ineau interests at Thane, that there is no doubt as to the utilization Of the power development of the company and that a paper and pulp mill would surely be erect

Rutgers College Star Grid Player

After Recovering a Tumble He Loses
Sense of Direction and Starts for
Opponents Goal and Is
Tackled by Them.

What was the prize bonehead play
of the year in baseball2
The Yankees in the world series
pulled enough TO last them couple
of seasons.
Bob Ieusel, when be failed to run
out hit on which he would have
easily been safe, only to have the
next batter follow with a home run
that would have tied up the game,
was thing of beauty.
There were scores of others In both
majsr leagues that are eligible for
first prize. but most Of the experts
concede the honor OF pulling the prize
bone Of the year in baseball to TOpor-
Ger Of the Cardinals.
Sent up as a pinch hitter In a game
at Philadelphia he hit the ball over the
right field wall for a home run. There
was a man on first base at the time
The runner on first feared the bal,
would be caught and stopped between
first and second awaiting results. In
the meantime, Toporcer, positive he
had made a home run. dashed around
the bases at full speed, passing the
ruuner on first between that base and
second.
For so doing Topovcer was. Of
course automatically out the moment
he passed a preceding runner. Instead
of n home run he received credit for
only a single.
What about the biggest bone in foot
ball1
That title goes to Dickinson OF Rut-
gers college
In a game with the University of
West Virginia Dickinson, after recov-
ering a tumble, lost his sense of di-
rectlon and started for his opponents

Then to cap the climax, Setron and
Howard of the West Virginia team
