A careful survey of American re-
sources for the manufacture of khaki
breeches has convinced Army officials
that If it became necessary to put
force Of two million men into the field
In less than eight months, most o.
them would have to fight in their shirt
tails.
The Industrial mobilization wing of
the national defense planning ma

foot in fifteen days, provided blue
cloth instead of khaki was used.
The trouble with the khaki OUTFIT
is that not enough cloth OF that color
is In ordinary civilian use. There are
ample stocks of blue and gray, both
wool and cotton fabric. The result
has been the working out OF a tenta-
tive blue training uniform which could
be supplied in ample volume for a
mobilization, TO be discarded as units
completed their preliminary prepara-
ton and moved out for final training
near the zone of operations.
By that time complete khaki out
fits with tan leather trappings would

Sides Equally Divided.

Approximately so letters comment
ing on the proposed allnight park

ning'S mail today. The sentiment for
and against the plan as shown by his
mail thus far, he said, averages about
equal.
Mr.. Fenning said that some Of the
communications We're from garage
owners calling attention to the amount
of automobile storage space available
in their respective places OF business
and promising not to increase rentals
if the proposed regulation is adapted.
Other writer's seem to have formed the
opinion, he said, that the proposed
plan was inspired by garage owners
and builders.
I did not confer or communicate
with any builder or garage owner
before proposing the regulation" the
Commissioners said emphatically. 1T
is matter which Traffic Director
Eldridge and l have had in mind a
long time, and we decided that some
action should be taken"

.LOWREY ATTACKS
NIGHT PARKING BAN
Representative Brands Plan
as "OfficiaI Tinkering and
Class Legislation"

Comments on the proposed ban on
allnight parking received by Commits
sioner Frederick A Fenning today
included a protest from Representa-
tive &. G.. Lowrey of Mississippi.
branding the plan as IAN uncalled-for
piece of official tinkering as well as
class legislation"
Mr.. Lowrey pointed out that among
others. there are probably three
groups of people who favor the all
night parking ban. one" he said, lis
he inveterate meddler and regulator.
Another is the man who would profit
by sudden demand for $4,000 add
tional car-housing spaces. Still an
other is the thoughtless citizen who
thinks it n good idea to clean up the
Streets but who has no car himself;
or who has a garage without cost or
Inconvenience. or an expensive car
which it pays him to house. 1t has
never occurred TO him that there are
thousands of cars which can be housed
neither conveniently nor economi-
cally."
Streets Free at Night.
on the face OF it." Mr.. Lowrey con-
tinued. there is no reason in the
proposition that there is greater need
- keep the cars off the streets from
midnight till daylight than at any
other time. What are the streets for,
if not to he used, and at what period
Of the "a hours could they possibly
be used with less intrusion on the gen.
cral rights of the public? And in
what manner could they be used more
safely?
There are blocks in Washington
which have no alleys, and therefore
no garages, There are other blocks
which do not have enough garage
space to house their cars.
There are thousands of working peo-
pie who, if they sought to house their
cars now, would have to rent garages
at a considerable distance from their

about ST a month. That is too much
TO pay to house a $500 car, which
800 nights a year Is just as we'll off
outdoors as in. And if this ban were
put on, 81 would be small as com
pared with rentals that would be ex-
acted. Many people would be con-
scious of the burden and the grow
ing resentment against law, and law
officers would be measurably in
crea Sed.'
Mr.. Lowrey's letter was not made
public by the Commissioner, but he
admitted receiving it, as we'll as ex-
pressions from several other members

Fred Foss, of Allgold creek near Dawson recently had a narrow escape from death when he fell down a shaft thirty feet in depth while at work on his claim. The acci- dent occurred February 2Oth. He was badly shaken and bruised, but managed to climb out of the shaft and to his cab- in, where he lay a week, help less. The small supply of wood on hand was sufficient for only a few days, but by husbanding it carefully he kept from freez- ing. His grub also ran out and he was in danger of starving until Andy Brooks, who works on Allgold, called and brought the injured man into Dawson for medical attention.

LOCAL NOTES

The United States Internal Revenue Service Cutter Cygan, Ensign E. Desen, commander, was a one-day visitor at this port last week. Nothing defin- ite could be learned regarding the object of the vessels visit, save that it was in pursuance of official business" although indications were not wanting
 that the term really covered an investigation of the local sit
 uation with respect to illicit liquor traffic. In the event that this was the real object of the cutters visit. those aboard
 were probably somewhat sur- prised at the absence of evil dences of booze, despite the | fact that there are unlimited supplies on tap within the pre- cincts of our Canadian neigh bors across the border.
 Work started last summer on the 96 Group on Mineral Hill will be resumed as soon as con |ditions permit and comfortable
 quarters can be erected, &C., cording to Ray Snyder, who left for the scene of operations with 31a tons of camp supplies, powder, and building material late last week. The supplies
 were taken to the property by Bryson and Manhood.
 MT. Snyder, who is associated
 with P. R. Wilson, of Hyder, and Arthur w. Fox, of Ketchi-
 kan, in the ownership of the properties, stated that it is the intention to continue the cross |cut tunnel started last summer and also erect q substantial |12 x 16 camp building.
 The tunnel referred to is now in about 35 feet and will be eX- tended to cross cut at about 35 feet depth a very promising vein of silver-lead ore which is shown by the outcrops to be over five feet thick. The ore averages about 50 per cent in lead and also carries some gold in addition to the silver con- tent. Assays as high as $94 to the ton have been obtained from the surface ore.
 The group comprises six claims, and is located on the west slope of Mineral Hill. Every claim in the group is favorably situated with timber and water handy and is easily reached by the government trail, which runs close to the western border.

RARE cURIoS IN
 KODIAK CHURCH

The Russian church at Kodi- ak should be visited by every tourist making the southwest ern Alaska trip this year. This church is a veritable store house of interesting antiques, with some of the oldest and rarest volumes in Alaska, ac- cording to an exchange. Its bible is bound with beaten gold, and its pages hand print ed on vellum. Many fine paint ings of great age are shown by Father Kashevaroff, in charge of the parish for the past fifty years, the altar being inlaid with gold and rare tapestries. It was at Kodiak that the Rus sians had a large post in the early days, and many vessels were built for trade in Pacific coast waters. A number ot bells for California missions were cast at Kodiak, and then taken to the Southland. Kodiak has more associations with Russian rule than any other town in Alaska and is well worth visiting.
