The Triangle Building has i'm proved the appearance of Juneau more than any other building which has ever been erected in the town.
 When it was erected the build ing formerly occupying it's space was torn down The old wooden structure jutted out into the street and was fire menace to the city, while the Triangle Building has been built back from the street and is fireproof.
 The Triangle Building, named for it's trianglar shape, is Juneau's most modern and beautiful office building It is in an excellent location for business, being in the heart of the city. The color scheme of the outside is green and white. At night the building is lighted by two flood lights, one on either side The exterior is of a cement mixture called procelina.
 Every bit of space inside the building has been utilized. On the first story is room for four stores. On the second story there are twelve offices and on the third, five apartments. There is an iron door leading from the second story to the third which is an eyce1 lent precaution of fires.
 The building is steam heated by an oil burner. This burner has three safety appliances and a three hundred gallon tank.
 The Triangle building greatly enhances the beauty and helps the prosperity of Juneau, and the citi- zens of this city owe a debt of gratitude to MT. Nelson and MT. the owners.

Gordon Ingman was award e first prize by the judges for the best article describing the Triangle Building in the contest, conducted under the auspices of the owners of the building and the contract ing company which built it. He will receive $15.

 There were eighteen contestants, and the judges eliminated half of them, some of them solely on &C., count of the fact that they ex- ceeded the 250-word limit made by the donors of the prizes. The decisions between some of those accepted and some of those re- jected were very close, as all of the articles were creditable to the participants and to the schools they represented.
 All of the decisions for prizes were close, and the judges frankly admit that other judges might with good reason have made other de- cisions The articles were generally speaking of high merit, and dem onstrate that the youth of Juneau agrees with those of maturity that the Triangle Building is in every way very valuable asset to this City and places it's residents under leil EC JO IN. 1.

MOBILE ROAD
 PATROL NOW
 FORMED, CAL,

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Dec. a. The day of speeding across a county line to avoid being presented traf- flc ticket is over in California. The formation of a state highway pa- trol of nearly 500 officers abolish es dual state-county enforcement of motor vehicle laws and central izes the responsibility. Under the general heading of automobile leg 1slation, penalties for criminally careless, drunken and incompetent drivers were stiffened.
 Frank G. Shook is chief of the state division of motor vehicles and will have for his superintendent of the mobile force Eugene Biscailuz, for more than 20 years a deputy sheriff in Los Angeles county.
 The patrol, mobile body able to meet emergencies in any portion of the state, can be assigned to any area where there is an unusual N-A%AS ficers, now able to pursue fleeing autoists from one county to an other, are expected to cut down the number of fatalities caused by speeding and reckless driving as well as minimize automobile theft.
 Biscailux points out that his men also will reduce the use of motor cars in other criminal activities. If a crime is committed large force of the patrolmen can be sent to the vicinity to guard all highways.
 Automobile associations see an- other benefit in a state motor pa- trol. Traffic enforcement will be- come uniform and enforcement for revenue, instead of protection of life and property, can be nullified.
 There have been instances, the California Automobile Association cites, where officers, informed that city or county treasuries were low in funds, rounded up motorists to reduce the deficit.

3 THE TRIANGLE BUILDING
By GORDON INGMAN

The Triangle Building, owned by Gunnar Nelson and John Rust gard, and built by the Warrack Construction Company of Seattle is now practically completed It is located at the corner of Front and Franklin Streets, the heart of the business district of our Capital City, occupying place which certainly meets with the demand of an up- to-date business house. It is with pride and satisfaction that the citizens of Juneau point to this imposing structure, the very beauty of which lies in it's dignity and simplicity of design and solidity of construction.
 It is a reinforced concrete, fire proof building, three stories high. The first floor is conveniently de- signed for merchants The second story consists of office roms; while the third is made up of apart ments, beautifully finished, com fortable and commanding a won derful view of the Channel.
 Sufficient light is provided for, the fixtures being the best, and throughout, the building is eff ciently heated by a central heating plant.
 That the owners of this build ing have faith in our city is shown by their investment. and they are setting worthy example for furth- CT development. Our entire com munity has profited by what they have done. Civil improvements of this kind, will make the resident proud of his home town, and the tourist and traveller will leave, duly impressed, and convinced that Ju- neau is growing bigger and better, gradually developing from the from tier town of early days to a mod ern progressive city.

LOCAL FIRMS THANKED BY CONTRACTORS; FINE
 SERVICE GIVEN HERE

Much of the success in bringing to satisfactory close, a building project such as the erection of the Triangle Building, is due to the ex- cellent service and ability displayed by Juneau firms having a part in the work.
 The general contractors are de- sirous of having it known gener- ally, that, without the cooperation of these firms of Juneau, whose ability and service were given a good test, no such creditable con- clusion of operations would have been enjoyed
 Rice & Ahlers's Job
 The largest of the sub-contracts was handled in most satisfactory manner by George B. Rice and John Ahlers, who under the firm name, had the contract for the complete installation of plumbing, heating and sheet metal work.
 Juneau Mills
 The Juneau Lumber Mills were called on for quantity, quality and all sizes of lumber without at any time being "stumped" They furn- ished all of the lumber in quick time as required.
 Morris Company
 The sand and gravel problem, ever hard one for Juneau, was solved by MT. Morris of the Morris Construction Company. Gravel was brought in by trucks over ten miles of haul one way, during all kinds of weather, and without causing delays
 Hardware Companies
 Such stocks as carried by the Juneau Young Hardware Company and the Thomas Hardware Com pany are credit to the town and to these firms No matter what we wanted in the hardware, roof ing. miscellaneous supplies or paint ing material lines, but what could be had from the great stocks car ried by these stores.
 Bedding Transfer
 The hauling of freight and other materials is job requiring almost day and night attention, and yet O. Bedding of the Bedding Trans fer Company could be absolutely depended upon to give the service, and he did.
 Darlington and Jones
 The firm of Darlington and Jones with head offices in Seattle, is another Alaska firm who supplies valuable service without fuss" They are manufacturers agents and back up the local dealers of Ju- neau and other Alaska towns who | are called upon to furnish mer- chandise or materials of which they are the agents Their forwarding service is little praised but some times disastrous delays are avoided by the use of it.

WASHINGTON, Dec. D. There

 dents of the country.
 It might seem a dull routine mat
 ter, but it is not, take the word of
 the girls who issue them in the
 licensing section of the Department lof Commerce. They feel the heart beats of the game.
 Handling such a large volume
 of work, it seems strange that we
 remember so many of the pilots to whom we send licenses the young
 woman who supervises the work
 writes for the Departments Air Commerce Bulletin. Some of the old timers I would recognize in the hereafter, just from handling their papers and photographs so many times. We know those who think kindly of us and those who take every opportunity to knock.
 Often we have stayed overtime to get out d special to some chap who wrcte nice letter saying that a good Job was awaiting receipt of his license.
 Tt has teen lots of fun watch ing the young boys come in for their student permits and take the steps up through private and linn ited commercial and finally to transport licenses. To us that is his graduation, and we often wish we could send along nice note of congratulation.
 Then sometimes we have to take a dirty old rubber stamp and mark 1 across the folder of some fine young man deceased It is like parting with an old friend.
 Of course, among gallery of ! such real Americans each girl has l a favorite. My pick of what a young aviator should be lived down in San Antonio. I requested one | of our field inspectors to look him alas, he came back with | the report that the pictures must l have been taken before the war , as he was now bald, fat and mar ried. |
 Feminine aviators sometimes re- 1 ceive little extra attention by get ting what we call nice number Often I hear one of the girls say, Gee, my next number is 25OO-I [ wonder if have a girl in this bunch A girls photograph na- turally is always scrutinized, often to determine if she is as young as she says she is. Once a girl took literally our request for a photograph showing head and shoulders thereby throwing the en- tire aeronautics branch into hys- terics
 T could tell dozens of real hu- man interest stories-stories alive with the spirit of flight. I could tell stories of the sadness and courage of mother who lost her boy; the disappointment and deter of boy who hadn't the funds to continue to fly but ex- pected to take it up again in the spring. and the ridiculous assured ness of the student who wanted to learn to fly by summer so he could make tranScontinental trip.
 Sometimes wonder if the is- suing of pilots licenses will ever become routine Government job. I think not"

Splendid Workmen

The many fine, able mechanics and workmen employed from among the residents of Juneau rendered good service and deserve the high est praise for the manner in which they all stuck" in spite of the almost intolerable weather condi- -tionS.
 Peterson Commended
 The entire project was under the able supervision of P. o. Peter son, Superintendent for the War rack Construction Company and a good one. He was assisted by Gunder Olson who had been on the job from the start, having had charge of the excavation before the arrival of the Superintendent.
 The Warrack Construction Com pany also does not forget the kindness and consideration of the Mayor and City Council of Juneau and their ever patient Chief of Police.

Old Fashions.

How strange the blooming girls ap-
pear in fashions of bygone year! I
look through ancient magazines and
wonder by what ways and means the
damsels dolled themselves in styles that
now invoke our mournful smiles. Here
is the picture of a maid in all the
panoply arrayed that in the seventies
was known-and one beholds it with a
groan. She was a girl of worldwide
fame; an actress, she had won name
that still pervades the memory OF every
old time scout like me. She was star
in divers parts, and many springalds
broke their hearts in longing for her
queenly smile, employing every art
worth while. And here we see her as
she was, with half q mile or so of
gauze wrapped round her hat until it
seems like some old crows nest seen in
dreams. She has some seven pounds of
hair, of raven treSSeS rich and rare,
and all those ringlets, black as jet,
show through the meshes of a net. The
hat and tresses make her head look
larger than a milking shed. The pic
ture shows the gown she wore; q mas
sive thing that swept the floor, with
Grecian bend, strange device our
grandmas thought was pretty nice: 1t
Is a queer, unseemly gown, with mighty
hounces UP and down, and ornaments
Of jet and jade enough to scare q mod
ern maid. The girl had earrings in
her ears, and seeing, the beholder fears
they must have slowed her neck
around-they look as though they
weighed a pound. If such a damsel,
thus arrayed, should join the present.
day parade, our shouts would make a
fearful din: "Why don't the coppers
run her in?" We're prone to roast
the present styles, or mock the same
with caustic smiles; but could we for
q moment gaze at fashions of the
grand old days! WALT MASON.

Cause of Asthma.

Dear Doctor: My husband has been
suffering from asthma. He Is a long
shoreman and has to inhale all kinds
of dust, including haxseed meal, and
this is no less than a poison to him.
His eyes get red and watery, and he
sneeZes a lot and has an almost steady
discharge from the nose. He gets some
eruptions on his face and other parts
of his body. but all this is nothing
compared with the agony of the diff
Guilty of breathing. What can he do?
MRS. A.
Your husbands asthma is no doubt
due to the fiaxseed dust, Mrs. A. He
is suffering from what is known as an
allergy. 1T is also known as an lido
syncrasy, or an anaphylaxis or a sensi-
tization) Many cases of asthma, hives,
hay fever. eczema and migraine (one-
sided headache) are due to these sensi-
tiZations. The mucous membranes Of
his bronchial tubes and intestinal tract
are irritated, just as his eyes are.
He will have to change his work,
Mrs A., because 1t is improbable that
he will ever get over his asthma until
he does.
Mrs. M.-Do not put your faith in
any of those advertised indications for
tumors. There are many deaths from
cancers which, had they been treated
correctly in time, might have been
