PRESIDENT SETTLED
 DISPUTE OYER NAMES
 ALASKA LAKES, PEAKS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10-Tha details came to light for the first time today of a controversy that was staged nearly two years ago around the White House over names that were assigned long before that time to certain lakes and peaks in the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes" Alaska.
 The case parallels the one that came before the Adirondack Noun tain club in New York State this week when Theodore Van Wyck Anthony complained because one of the Adirondacks had been named Mount Marshall in honor of the two sons of Louis Marshall
 Tn both instances the propriesy of assigning the names of living men to geographical promontories was an issue involved. It was President Coolidge who finally settled the dispute over the Alas kan names, which included some of the prominent officials of the National Geographic Society and which were finally allowed to stand in spite of the protest of the United States Geographic Board.
 The story had its beginning when the society financed the Katmai expedition to Alaska for an exploration, Katmai being the name of a volcano that had been in eruption, arousing much inter est among scientists. This expe- dition was headed by Dr. Rober. F. Griggs as director. Investiga- ,tions were made over a period of some five years, or approximately from 1914 to 1919, the country having never before been visitei and explored in such geographic detail by white men.
 Territory Mapped With Names
 As result the territory com. prfsing the "vafley of Ten Thous- and Smokes" was mapped and va rious points of interest were named. The information was made available to the Govern ment. which, according to the Geo graphic Society, was glad to have the data for it's maps. It is said that millions of maps. both of the Government and of the society, subsequently, went into circula-

Special Dispatch to The Star.
WALL STREET, New York, Febru-
ary 16.-The selling side again had
somewhat the better of it in today's
stock market. Declines predominated
and prices went off easier than they
advanced. There was still support for
selected issues and few striking gains.
There was no heavy liquidation and
yet 1t was evident that speculative
| lowest stage of the year to date
Money renewed at 4l2 per cent,
which was the rate that prevailed all
of Wednesday, Such news as came to
hand was favorable. The principal
item was the vote in the Senate where
| by the proposed power inquiry was
turned over to the Federal Trade Com
mission instead of being conducted
| by'a special committee of the Senate.
This brought about active buying of the
lower priced utilities directly at the
start with some fairly good gains
which. however, were not held.
| Light and Power Issues Favored.
The electric light and power stocks
are in the best position of any group in
which the trading interest is at all large.
| There is no doubt about the favorable
earning outlook or about the steady
increase in the demand for the service
these companies have to sell.
Other stocks which resisted the pres

the steels and some of the motors.
United States Steel sold off fractionally
and then came back. Vanadium was
strong. UP nearly points at 85 General

other nand. was weak and around

The rails were relatively inactive.
They. however. had been we'll liquidated
earlier in the month. Reading was in
demand, advancing along with Philadel-

Mixed Price Movements Re-

Speculations

New York. Oct. 23.-(R-Mixed
movements in today's stock market
reflected the play Of opposing specu-
lative forces, but major activity was
again on the upside, with the con-
per, steel and motor issues in the
forefront Of the advance. Repeated
commission house warnings against
an overbought position brought
heavy selling into . few Of the re-
cent speculative favorites, which
dropped 8 to 10 points, but these
were offset by gains Of 5 to II
points in q fairly large assortment
Of specialties.
Renewal of call loans at 6 per
cent, the lowest opening rate since
September %, Mad a bullish effect.
Further gold imports from the Ar
gentine, coupled with predictions Of
additional shipments from Great
Britain in the near future, also
tended to allow uneasiness over the
credit outlook.
Heavy buying of U. S. Steel.
which advanced 3 points, stimulated
the afternoon recovery. Other steel
shares followed in its wake, Vanadi-
UNI rising 81 points. The recent
decline in building activity was
widely regarded as temporary, and
likely to improve with the further
lowering OF money rates.
Copper shares responded to the IA
vorable price situation with early

HEALTH GROUP.
HAS NEW HOME
Health Department Moving to
New Location Over EltinQe
Theatcr

The North Dakota state health
department has a new home.
1t is now being moved from it's
former location above the United
Public Service company to its new
rooms in the Hughes building above
the Eltinge theater.
The second floor above the theater
is devoted wholly to the four divi-
sions in the department and means
Of expansion are provided by rooms
above Hoffman's cafe if more space
is needed, according to DR.. A. A.
WMttem0re, state health officer.
The four divisions which are be-
ing moved are: Child hygiene, un-
der the direction of DR.. Maysel M.
Williams; communicable diseases
under the direction of DR.. j. D.
Jungman; sanitary engineering un-
der the supervision Of L. A. Bavone:
and vital statistics under the SUPER
vision Of Miss Myrtle M. Lee.
Each division has a room in the
new department and a fifth room
houses the library or information
bureau, according to DR.. Whittemore.
FIFTEEN are employed in the depart
ment.
The second floor of the building
has been built during the last sum-
mer specifically for the tenancy of
the department, DR.. Whittemore
said.
The change to larger quarters was
made necessary because of the
growth of the department in the last
four years, DR.. Whittemore pointed
out. Four years ago. the depart
ment employed but one stenogra-
pher.
Though the department has grown
remarkably, it still trails the health
departments in the other AZ Of the
United States, the health officer
pointed out. North Dakota has a
tax of only 2.19 cents per capita per
annum for upkeep Of the health
service. The average per capita tax
for health department mai,.enancc
in the United States is 9 cents. The
state Immediately ahead Of North
Dakota has a tax of cents. he
pointed out.
