London Retires En- Masse Before
One AM, Night Owls Using Taxis

LONDON, June 20-Not taking into
account its revelers-and many of them
are visitors - London, capital Of the
British Empire and supposed to be the
most populous city in the world, still
adheres to the early-to-bed If not early
to-rise hours Of rural communities. All
its traffic facilities, with the exception
of q few all-night trans or street cars,
are run on the idea that the average
Iondoner desires to "hit the hay" be-
fore midnight or shortly thereafter.
It is estimated that not more than
100000 of the population are engaged
at night work. probably less than a fifth
of the night-working population OF New
York City. Not an underground or
subway train is in operation after l
am, and most Of London's 5000 buses,
barring a few "owls," are stabbed before
that hour. The last of the suburban
trains has departed from London before
that time, and on certain lines there
will be no others until after am.
Taxis Only Transportation.
The night owls must, therefore, de-
mend upon their own motor cars or
faxicabs to take them from the white
light district to their homes at an hour
when New Yorkers are always certain
Of a subway train or street car.
And vet Londoners, on the average,
do not get to work nearly as early as do
New Workers or the residents Of most
American cities. The straphangers be-
tween $3.50 and am. are chiefly de-
nartmert store and small shop employees,

nieS, law Offices and financial houses.
Congested traffic conditions are driving
some OF the heads or near heads of
such establishments or undertakings to
the underground trains at later time.
1t would be futile to try to get into con-
tact with the heads before 10 or 1890
in the morning.
London Air Dr0wsy.
Londoners who have lived in New
York insist that the absence of zip in
the London air is partly responsible for
the inclination here to enjoy a long
nights sleep and reluctance to tumble
out in the morning even after such a
protracted spell of repose. But in GER
tain businesses convention has much to
do with the observance of working
hours. The king pins are not supposed
to arrive on the moment that the ste
nographerS are ready to take down the
shorthand notes. Those employees who
do arrive early are in many instances
permitted morning cup of tea or coffee
between 10 and IL O'Clock, and they
have another tea interval between 4
and 4:30 in the afternoon.
Some health authorities have recently
claimed that the halliday holiday on
Saturday or on some other day of the
week has produced a much more healthy
and alert shopgirl. On the other hand
there has been strong criticism in some
quarters of the practice of the Stock
Exchange of remaining closed all day
on Saturday, an innovation Of the wal
period. -. ..,>

Walter Heisel to Attend d Conven ton of Fed

To represent the Juneau mem bers at the biennial session of the National Federation of Federal Employees, to be held at the Olym- pic Hotel in Seattle on September T, Deputy Collector of Customs Walter B. Heisel left here Saturday night on the Canadian National steamer Prince George. He will be gone two or three weeks.
 Delegates from Anchorage and Ketchikan will attend the conven- tion, as well as members from oth- CT insular and territorial posses sions. Among the questions to come up for discussion is the mat ter of cumulative leave for civil service workers. Under the present regulations the worker is allowed a certain amount of time off for vacation each year, usually two weeks. If the worker fails to take advantage of this leave he loses it. Members of the Federation who serve in distant territories are try ing to have the regulations revised to permit the workers to accumulate leave for several years, in order to enable him to travel longer dis tances. They point out the futil- ity of two weeks leave for a work CT in the Philippines, Hawaii, Por- to Rico or Alaska, who wishes to spend his vacation in the middle western states.

SEASON OPENS FOR MIGRATORY
 BIRDS TUESDAY
Ducks and Geese Reported Plentiful Only 30
 Days 10 Hunt

Tomorrow, the hunting season on migratory wild fowl opens through cut Alaska with birds, particularly ducks and geese. reported to be more abundant than for a great many years. Hunters, it was said today by local dealers in shotguns and ammunition, are prepared to take the field in considerable force.
 The season this year will be the shortest on record. Ducks, geese, brant and coot can be killed in limited numbers during the month of September only throu hout Alaska. under the provision of an executive order issued last week by President Hoover.
 Local birds, said reports both official and unofficial, are more numerous this year than usual. On Mendenhall flats for the past ten days, several fairly large flocks Of Mallards, sprigs and teal have been in evidence. Other hunting cen- tars in the district are said to be well populated with both ducks and geese. Several large flocks Of geese have been seen near Menden- hall Glacier during the past few days.
 Hunting in Southeast Alaska, ap- parently. will be largely confined to local bred birds, owing to the limitation on the season. Few, If any, flight birds from the north ern breeding areas show up in the Panhandle before october l. This is certain to reduce materially the number of birds killed this year.
