IL will be weeks and perhaps months before a finding is returned.
 Thirty-three persons, charged with murder and complicity, have already been brought across the Atlantic for the preliminary fin structions" which corresponds to a grand jury investigation in Ameri- ca. By the irony of fate. many of them, if condemned. will return over the same route to Devils Is- land, the penal colony few miles from Cayenne.
 The aroused state of public opin- ion at Cayenne was given as req son for the transfer of the process to France. The passing of M. Gall mot, who died of what has been certified as poisoning was follow

 censes After Dec. 3l

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-Ending the present system of independent and private radio communications chains in Alaska, the Radio Com mission has ruled that after De- cember 31, the only licenses it will grant for point and coastal services in the territory and its waters will be given to public service con- munication companies.
 The Radio Commission has allot- ed three groups of communication channels for Alaskan use: flor point to point work; 2-for coastal communication with ocean-going vessels, and 3-for short range traf- fic with small boats.
 Radio telephony is provided for in the latter class and part of the land communication systems.

 Small craft channels were re- served for fishing fleets of canning companies which are understood to be planning to equip each boat with radio and telephone sets.

 The President replied with the highly optimistic reassuring state ment that production and distri- button of commodities. which he termed the fundamental business of the country, to be upon a sound and prosperous basis"
 As the best evidence of the truth of this assertion, the Presiden pointed out that although produc- tion and consumption are at high levels, the average prices of com- modities have not increased nor has there been any multiplication of stocks and manufactured goods. In addition, the President said the trend of wages is upward and the individual output of workers in many industries is growing.

or Spanish in their dealings with these people from the Americas, North and South. Quite few of these new-type domestics have now learned to expect heate dbedrooms, electric lights and convenient kitch- ems.
 The standards of the old-style French maid of all work are not exaggerated. She is content if she has a good coal stove, cold run- ming water in the kitchen and plen- ty of space to hang her pots and pans.
 She will go to bed by lamp or candle light in an electrically light ed house and will not object if her food is plainer and cheaper than that of the family.
 An afternoon off every other week is all she asks and if she breaks dishes she expects to pay for them out of her small savings.
 Such servants are becoming hard to find.
