Utility Stocks Expand
 Volume of Curb Trade

NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-The ex- traordinary popularity of utility stocks, particularly a few outstand- ing issues, has doubled the volume of trading on the New York curb exchange.
 If the present volume is main- tained to the end of 1929 the total transactions will approximate 500,- 100000 shares, as contrasted with 236.O43 682 shares in 1928.
 Chief among the issues account ing for the increase are Common wealth and Southern, Electric Bond and Share, American Superpower United Gas and Improvement, Cities Service and United Corporation be- fore it moved to the big board.

ENDS LONG STRUGGLE

The award of the capital building contract ends struggle that has extended almost quarter century. The first concrete step toward erecting such a structure was talk en in 1911 when Congress appro- priated $200,000 to acquire a site and cover construction costs. Un- der that measure the site, which embraces the entire block between Fourth and Fifth. and Seward and Main streets.
 Recognizing that this sum was not sufficient to put up a suitable and adequate building, Alaskans immediately started efforts to have it increased The first Alaska Legislature, in the Spring of 1913, memorialized Congress asking for s500.00 additional.
 New Bill Introduced
 The matter Jagged until 1916 when Judge James Wickersham, then Delegate from Alaska to Con- gross, introduced a measure provid- ing for S300,O00 additional In con- sidering the measure, Congress in- cluded the Juneau project in the omnibus public buildings bill and leaders assured Alaskans that when- ever that measure passed the Ju- neau structure would be taken care of
 The entry of the United States in the World War caused a cessation of all public buildings activities throughout the nation. Postwar conditions brought problems that resulted in further postponment in that branch
 Introduce New System
 When the subject was finally revived, Congress adopted new system of handling public construc- tion. Approved projects were all submitted to Congress by the Treasury Department and Congress passed one bill authorizing the construction of the entire program over period of years Juneau was third on this list. In 1927, the first appropriation was made under this authority, being made in lump sum and making 1t

AVIATORs' ILLS
STUDIED BY !.
EXPERTS

NEW YORK. Nov. Z tI.Ns.i :,
The Daniel Guggenheim Fund for
the Promotion Of AerUnautics has
Just announced the results Of au
exhaustive study Of air sickness
which many regard as one Of the
greatest drawbacks to aviation
progress. q
The results Of this study are not
conclusive; they neither brand air
sickness as q durable r11alady nor
as IN iIlcurAble one. The conclll.
sion reached Is that air sickness,
or NAL des aviateurs, as the French
call IL, is attributable to psychic
logical and physiological causes,
with the former predo dominating In
some instances and the latter In
others.
In approaching the problem of
sir sickness, the fund, asked its
representatives In Europe to indi'
cate the experience Of the CONT.
nent in deciphering and solving
the problem. .a6

In. italy the funds representa-
tive consulted with the medical of.

ceived from the director, Prof. D.
di Nola, an outline Of the problem
as developed by that organization.
The, Italian authority diStifl.
guished between four kinds Of air
sickness, which are listed as fol

Is the same In character as sea
sickness or train sickness.
2. The professional illness of air
men. Frequently termed aero

turhances affecting pilots during
their training period or affecting
pilots who undergo a period Of in,
tensive flying, thereby. suffering
from air staleneSS. It Is, In other
words. o result Of very continuous
flying and requires for its correc-
ton = complete fest from flight.
3. Disturbance affecting pilots
when subjected to very strong &C.
celerationS and stunt manoeuvers,
rapid descentS, sharp turns at
high speeds, ETC., It has never
been finally determined what &C.
celerationS can be supported by
the human body, although the In
fluence Of acceleration on the
blood flow and on the spinal mar
row liquid with resulting disaf,
lection Of the ears and cerebel-
lum are known. =
4. High altitude sickness. This
Is the same in character as noun
tain sickness, except for fatigue
OF ascent which takes place In
the latter. It Is due, Of course,
to the lack Of oxygen in the air
at extreme heights and has been
experienced IN balloon flights and
airplaneS flights at high attitudes

passenger travel.
German View 49,. :. .,
The German representative of
the Fund declare that in his
opinion ''the problem Of air sick.
ness is not to be solved either by
pharmological or mechanical
means. The final solution must
be found in an absolutely calm
flying aircraft, uninfluenced by
breakdownS and air pockets. In
the absence of aircraft of this
kind, there Is only one inter.
mediate solution, and that Is. that
commercial pilots do not fly
customarily close to the ground
in the most turbulent strata of
air, But rise to q height Of more
than 5000 meters where the at
moSphere usually does not cause
trouble. Herin avigation has, a

of the mound when excavation began was q
red cedar of great age. alive and vigorous This
tree must have sprouted some time after the
building had been left and fallen into ruin
The roots had penetrated into several of the
rooms. so that it was necessary that they be
cut OF, and, as a result, the tree died When
felled, cross-section was examined and found
to have $50 annual rings showing and the
heart was decayed so that it was impossible to
count the entire number. 1t IS not improbable
that it began growing on top of the Sun Temple
mound about the time of Coronado's explora-
tions in the Southwest, which began in I54O
No doubt another $50 years or more elapsed
while the old structure fell into ruin and the
mound grew. Based on these facts the con-
struction of Sun Temple the youngest of the
mesa antiquities must date back to 1900 AD
and possibly much earlier.
Although so little is actually known about
the inhabitants of the cliff dwellings and their
mode Of life, one thing we do know positively
about the Little People, and that is they were
not SO little, after all. Over 800 skeletons have
been found in the ruins and measured. Those

the women feet inches. Some of the skele-
tons showed height of over feet
Perhaps as time passes and archeologists dig

Modern Goods Give
Pana's Purse Rest

All the fur coats prevalent on
the campus this winter were not
paid for by papa. The modern coed
earns her own money and gives the
family pocket book rest, says
May Dunn Ward, assistant dean Of
women at the University of Wash
ington. Miss Wards task is finding
jobs for inexperienced or exper-
fenced girls who have more ambi-
ton than ready cash, and her of
flee serves as a clearing house for
women who must work and for en-
ployers seeking help.
About IL per cent of the women
on the campus are entirely self
supporting, according to Miss
Wards latest figure, and one-third
help to pay their own expenses.
Qualified stenographers make up
the largest group for whom Miss
Ward seeks employment, with
clerical workers next. Baby-tend-
ers, cooks and mothers helpers
are also in demand.
The increase in scholarship re-
quirements, however, is gradually
reducing the number of working
girls. "Only the strongest can work
and do justice to their studies at
the same time," Miss Ward declar-
ed.
