City Girl and Paris Battle to Be Followed
 by Sherlock Holmes

With The City Girl" and The Battle of Paris" constituting a double bill, showing for the last times tonight, "The Return of Sherlock Holmes" will be the fea- tured attraction at the Coliseum theatre tomorrow night.
 "The City Girl which stars Charles Farrell and Mary Duncan and which has David Terrence in the supporting cast, is a love TO- nance. Farrell appears to his usual advantage. Miss Duncan is pretty and capable. Terrence is so good he ought to be headlined with the star performers.
 Mad Fight for Fun
 The Battle of Paris" features Gertrude Lawrence. Overseas there were two distinctive engagements, the front line trenches and the mad fight for fun in Paris
 The frivolity, the fun, the music that was wartime Paris have been wound into the story of a young street girl who meets an artist and falls in love with him, only to have him taken away by the war and when he returns, she finds him in another's arms and battles with all her wiles for the man she loves.
 Comes to America
 In "The Return of Sherlock Holmes," the famous fiction sleuth of the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle books has at last left his English haunts and come over" The req son for his visit is to track down the murderer of his friend, in the United States, Captain Longmore.
 Give Brook is cast in the role of the famous man-hunter. The story centers around the murder of Captain Longmore, an old friend of Sherlock Holmes. As the master sleuth goes into the case he finds that Captain Longmore was impli-

Thomas Redlingshafer, the 165-pound guard who made his letter last season will begin his fourth year of eligibility next month Robert Henning, a newcomer to the high school, took his basketball in large doses on the squad that easily won the hoop championship of the Seattle schools last season. George Karabelnikoff, another Seattle recruit, is not only a capable football player, but also is well versed in basketball knowledge. Doubt is expressed as to whether Bill Nikish, the six foot center, will be able to play this season. If he does not act as tip-off man, there will be a gap that will be hard to fill.

New Coach and Promising New Players Are Cause
 of High Hopes

The sound of crepe soles on ma pie floor will be heard Monday evening, October 5, when Coach E. G. Wentland calls the first basket ball turnout of the season in the Juneau High School gymnasium. This turnout will enable the class es to pick their respective teams for the Inter-Class Tournament. Also the new coach will be able to get slant on his prospective high school squad in the two weeks of practice preparatory to the official All-School turnout, October 19.
 The chief results of the Inter- Class games can be forecast fairly accurately. Nothing short of a miracle will prevent the Senior Class from gaining first place. The Freshmen will be strong contend CTS for second honors.
 New Players and Coach
 But to dope the possibilities of the 1881 school team is much more complicated. Not only will there be new players of much promise, but there also will be a new sys- tenn of coaching.
 The coming of MT. Wentland as coach adds interest to this years Gastineau Channel High School Se- ries. It is certain that there will be many changes in the way the Hilltoppers will play this season. VT. Wentland is well prepared to build a team that will worry it's adversaries. Tall, square shoulder ed, with a decidedly affirmative jaw, the new coach looks like the kind of person that would make a good showing in any fight. He is a graduate of the University of Washington where he received a Bachelor of Arts Degree. He took a Physical Education course at Walla Walla College. He has coached high school teams in east ern Washington Records show that if the teams did not win, they were close-runnerS-u He has coached football and track as well as basketball.
 All Will Be Encouraged
 It is believed between 30 and 40 will show up for the first prac- tice. With an eye on the future, Coach Wentland has decided to en- courage ambitious lower classmen.
 Juneau's hopes are high for this season. Elmer Lindstrom and AL win Bloomquist, flashy star for wards of last years team, are

Application of architectural control
in Washington and in Rancho Santa
Fe, Calf, was an outstanding develop
ment in regional planning during 1880,
according to the Committee on City and
Regional Planning of the American In
stitute of Architects, of which Charles
H. Cheney OF Los Angeles is chairman
I'm Washington, D. c. the report
says, Congress has at last established
architectural control over plans for all
new private buildings facing public
building groups by passage of the Ship
stead bill in May, 1880, requiring their
approval by the National Fine Arts
Commission.
Architectural control in Washington
is particularly significant to the rest of
the country because of its being done
under the police power, as an extension
of the principle that public welfare re-
quireS it.
Meantime, on the opposite side of
the continent, in the beautiful country
district of Rancho Santa Fe, near San
Diego Calf, nearly 200 owners of es-
tates and small farms totaling 5,400
acres in area have signed and put on
record a protective covenant establish
ing permanent architectural control.
Also they formed a complete coming
plan and building code for the entire
area which is not under municipal gov
eminent.
