NE:W REGULATIONS
 ID bE DRAWN FOR
 WRAVCELL WATERS
MAJOR ELLIOTT CALLS FOR A CONFERENCE ADJUST
 DIFFERENCES

Anticipating that there will be a heavy increase in the traffic move ment through Wrangell Narrows following the completion of the improvement project there, regul- ations governing the use of the Narrows probably will be prom ulgated by the District Engineers office in the near future. This was made known by the Juneau Elm pire thru the publication of a circular letter addressed by Major Malcom Elliott, District Engineer, to various steamship companies and others interested in the sub ject.
 u lis communication regarding the plans for the regulations, Maj or Elliott said:
 '"The improvement at Wrangell Narrows recently completed is eX- pected to result in large increase in the use of the channel by ocean going vessels. Since the deep chan nel is quite narrow it's unrestrict- ed use by large vessels and log tows and other craft will probably in terfere with the navigation of all

classes of traffic. Furthermore, in jury to the dolphins and other aids to navigation which must be installed if the greatest benefits are to be derived from the inn provements, should be avoided if practicable.
 It is believed that the unre- stricted use of the channel by all navigation interests will result in serious conflicts. On the other hand, no reason is seen why. suit able regulations can not be drawn up that will be of benefit to ocean going vessels, log tows and all other craft that desire to use the chan nel.
 Tt is expected that this office will prepare the draft of such regu- lations for submission to the Sec retary of War.
 You are invited to present your views on this subject, in writing on or before October IS, 1928. It seems advisable that a conference or hearing be held, due notice of place and date thereof will be is sued"

BAN ON FORT
BOOZE SOUGHT
Army Officer Says Sheriff
Refuses Aid.

Capt. Earl Moss, Army morale
officer, today said he appealed 10
Sheriff Omer Hawkins for deputies
to assist in keeping bootleggers and
camp followers away from the
vicinity of the Ft. Benjamin Har-
rison and promptly was turned
down.
According to Moss, the sheriff
told him that the county didn't have
the money and extra deputies 0c
give special attention to the G. NJ
T. c., now in training there.
The captains plan was to have
two deputies stationed permanently
at the fort, the Army to provide
rationS and housing.
When it was vetoed by Hawkins,
Moss appealed to the Federal pro-
hibition Office. A conference was
arranged for tonight with Harry
Bendel. Office assistant to George
L. Winkler, local Federal enforce d.
ment chief. Bendel will report on
the project to Winkler, who was out
of the city today.
This camp means an expenditure
of 100000 by the Army in Indian
apolis, not counting what the
youths spend on leave. Surely the
city and county can afford to ex-
tend us some protection said

T70o Kids, Too Quarters,
Too GulpS; It's Just a
Habit in the Family No70
Mary Coughs Up Her Coin,
but L0WeII'S Stays
Swallowed.

If you think there's no differ
ence between a quarter and Is cents,
just try swallowing a quarter.
Mary, 8, did and it stuck. Her
brother, Lowell, 13, tried it a week
ago and succeeded.
Il guess it's my turn next" :"
grinned Mary's other brother,
Claude, 10, as he eyed the coin in
Marys hand this morning at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Kesler,
1902 Taft Ave, where the children
board,
IF the kids keep this up, I'll start
giving them their Sunday quarter
by check" said their father, M. E.
zufall, who lives at 1916 S. Keystone
Ave. The children's mother died
six years ago.
Down Goes Coin
Mary was swinging a playmate
Sunday afternoon when she put
her quarter in her mouth to give
the swing a vigorous push. Up went
the swing and down went the
quarter.
Frightened and fearful, she raced
to the house crying, Daddy, I've
swallowed that quarter"
Pounding to no avail, a wide-eyed,
gulping little girl was hustled to
city hospital. Locating the coin with
a microscope, physicians marked its
location on Mary's throat with a
fountain pen. Then she was put to
sleep and the errant quarter fished
from her esophagus.
Doctor Keeps Quarter
Mary was a little nonplussed
when, home again, she was told that
a doctor had pocketed her silver
piece. 1t had to be preserved with
records of the case, it was explained.
Dimes and pennies often are swal-
lowed, but twenty -five-cent cases
rarely reach the hospital.
The photographer found another
one for her as a reward for being
reused from her nap today.
Lowell who swallowed his allow
ance a week ago, has suffered no i'll
effects. He had his quarter in his
hand when another boy shouted and
fired a baseball toward him.
Clapping the quarter in his mouth,
Lowell caught the ball. He gulped
hard, but the quarter reached first
and still was on the bases today.
