NEW YORK, Sept. s.-Another
violent wave of selling sent stock
prices tumbling today as the mar
ket reopened after the three-day
suspension of dealings over the
Labor day weekend.
The renewed decline, which was
an extension Of last weeks setback,
was fastened ny develc sments over
the weekend and today. Unfavor-
able tenor of the Labor day adj
dresses by political and labor lead
ers served to emphasize the adverse
business conditions and increase
nervousness.
Tickers Fall Behind
A large volume of weekend SELL
ing orders were executed at the
opening Before the end of the first
hour bulls were in full fight. Stop
loss orders, placed by traders antici-
pating higher market, were set
off in huge volume and added mo-
mentum to the decline. Professional
traders seized the opportunity to
put out fresh short lines.
Immediately, activity picked up to
the highest levels since early sum-
mer, sales for the first half hour
alone amounting to 100000 shares,
or not far under the turnover in full
sessions two weeks ago. For the first
time since early June the stock
tickers were unable to cope with
the situation, falling two minutes
behind actual trades on the floor, so
great was the confusion.
Selling Pressure Conferred
Selling pressure was conferred
largely on the investment indus
trials and utilities, but showed a
disposition to become general in
other sections of the list. This in
Dictated the success of the bear con-
tingent in unloosing important
liquidation by recent attacks on the
leaders.
Market favorites such as United
States Steel, New York Central,
Pennsylvania, American Can and j.
l. Case all were forced down to new
bear market lows, the former at
one time selling at 8014, a loss of
21s points, and the lowest price since
1922. Losses throughout the list
ranged from l to points, the ex-
IRENE being suffered by the Volatile
Peoples Gas.
Utilities Are Weak
Weakness in the utilities was
feature of the session. BeariShnesS
in these shares has been on the as
cendancy and it took relatively lit
tie selling to set the downward
movement into motion.
Besides facing prospects of lower
rates, the utility issues were forced
to contend with continued dividend
uncertainties in the case of the
three leading communication issues.
Western Union directors were sched-
uled to meet this afternoon for divi-
dend action and International Tele-
phone directors Thursday. Traders
looked for downward revision of
both rates.

SINGLE, MARRIED, WIDOWED AND DIVORCED PERSONS IN
 THE POPULATION OF .ALASk A

WASHINGTON.-The director of tthe census today announced the re- :sults of the tabulation of the popula- ttion returns for Alaska by marital condition. The total number of males 15 years of age and over in Alaska ton October 1, 1929, was 26,350. Of this number, 13,001, or 49.3 per cent, were single; 11,0s9, or 42.1 per cent, were married; 60 per cent were wid- lowed; and ,2.4 per rent were divorhed. tOf the 14.818 females 15 years of age and over, .2,76S, or 19.3 per cent, were single; 10,419, or 70.3 pere cent, were married; 8.8 per cent were widowed; ;and 1.6 per cent were divorced.
 There has been a decrease in the percentage single among the male whites since 1920, with correspond ing increase in the percentage mar lried in the same class, while among tthe male Indians there has been an iincrease in the percentage single since 1920, with a corresponding de- crease in tn epercentage married. In tthe female population the percentage single is very small in all classes, particularly among the foreign-born white population. There has been a slight increase, however, in the per- .centage single among native whites :and Indians. This low percentage sin gle in the female population is bal .anced by the large percentage mar tried.
 For the population as a whole, the percentage divorced has increased since 1920, while the percentage wid- .owed has decreased.

GOODBYE. MOSQUITOES,
{Fairbanks News-Miner.)

tFairbanks News-Miner.)
 No more cheering news has been received for some time, we venture to say. than that steps are to be taken to eradicate that pest of Interior Alaska summers, the mosquitoes.
 To those who have fought off clouds of the insects in the woods and who have been prey to the mosquitoes stinging dart even in their homes the campaign may seem a hopeless one.
 But mosquitoes have been stamped out under worse conditions than will be encountered here. Once it was learned in tropical countries they were the carriers of disease germs there was no let-up until they had been stamped out, at least in the cen ters of population. If that can be done, there is no reason why mos quitoes should be B. tolerated here merely because they are not germ carriers.
 The United States Bureau of Ento- mology is going to start the battle this summer. The Department of Agriculture was prevailed upon to send investigators here by the Fair banks Exploration Company, which appropriated funds for the work. The F. E. Co. deserves the unstinted thanks of this community for push ing this project.
 | Provided enough interest is shown the work will be carried forward next summer as well as this one. A letter or wire to the Secretary of Az riculture at Washington, D. C., will manifest that interest. Such com munications should be sent at the earliest possible date.
 The city should cooperate by seeing that property owners cut down brush and grass and keep it cut. And an allotment for oil to cover stagnant ponds would not be amss.

 President Hoover has announced that on the current public building program the list of projects covers a total of 758 buildings, involving a total expenditure of $43,00O.OO0. One of the projects recently completed was at Juneau, where the expenditure for the Capitol building was S795, ,OOO. Another project now in the specified ton stage is at Fairbanks, where the cost is to be $450,000. Ketchikan is listed with $10,00O osecure site. hetchikan and Anchorage will each expect to receive an appropriation of S400,0O0 when Congress meets. While construction work is going on all over .ne country and preliminary arrange ,nents are making for many other projects, it may be stated that a re- cent inquiry at the Treasury Depart Ient elicited the fact that the force ln the supervising architects office finds it difficult to keep up with it's expected program. As consequence the specifications for the Fairbanks building are not yet complete and it is stated will not be ready to offer to bidders before the early part of June. The new delay means that it will be August before the successful con- structor is ready to start work on the new building.
 In answer oan inquiry the De- partment of the Interior states that 35,O00 tourists visited Alaska last year, large percentage of them only maxim gthe Southeastern tour. An effort is being made to induce more to include Cordova, Seward, Anchor age, Mt. Mckinley and Fairbanks in their itinerary this year.
 1 Leo P. Bolts, IT,, of Little Rock, Ark, has been to Alaska several times and is an enthusiast on the Northland, having induced many tourists to enjoy the incomparable de- lights of the scenic excursion. Evi- dences of his activity are apparent in Washington, with the result that sev- eral steamer reservations have all ready been made.
 Secretary Wilbur, Ernest Walker Sawyer and other officials of the In- terior Department are particularly interested in the development of such coal veins in the Matanuska field as will supply government vessels. Southeastern Alaska and California with fuel that will be suitable,to their respective needs. One of the import ant moves toward this end issthe se- curing of the services of F. R.

Radio Industries, leading trade

the trade to the fact that dealers
and jobberS are frequently asking
why more of the leading radio set
makers do not go into the manu-
facture of practical Short-wave
sets. Far from being a field mere
ly for amateurs and experiment.
erS, Short-wave reception Is an
intensely interesting pursuit Tor
those who would like to roam the
ether waves to pick Up broadcaSts
from far distances.
Some good Short-wave sets are
now on the market, and one kit
maker offers a short-wave attach
ment to regular broadcast receiv-
erS. The field, however, has never
been exploited intensively. With
proper advertising, listeners
throughout the country could be
made aware of the splendid pro-
grams from various foreign cour-
tries, including the broadcasts
from the Pope's station, In Vatl-
can City, that can be tuned in
almost any night on the short
waves.

POWER TO CENSOR
RADIO ADS DENIED
Opinion Holds Commission
Has no Right to Ban
Lottery Breakfasts.
BY ROBERT MACK.

The power Of the Federal Radio
Commission to rule off the air radio
programs having the element of prize
enterprise or lottery is questioned by
Col. Thad H. Brown, general counsel
in an opinion submitted to the COM
mission.
With many small stations reaping =
rich harvest in revenues by throwing
open their facilities to such schemes,
while newspapers and other periodicals
are prevented from accepting similar
accounts because of the postal laws,
the commission has been giving serious
study to complaints from representa-
tive news organizations. Even WIN
the adverse opinion CT its legal d.
vision, which infers that congressional
action Is necessary to outlaw these pro"
grams, the commission has not den-
nitely decided its course.
Upon receipt of Col. Browns opinion
the commission studied the question
behind closed doors. It had asked Tor
the opinion after the American News
paper Publishers Association, at It's
annual convention, had adopted a
resolution protesting against the prac-
tice and petitioning the commission 70
would prohibit lotteries on the air.
Sykes Moves for Delay.
Action, however, was deferred at the
request of Vice Chairman E. 0. Sykes,
who wanted more time to study the
matter. Chairman Charles NICK. Saltz-
man and Commissioner Harold A. La
fount are believed to favor immediate
Punishment from the air of such pro-
rpVa Ira R0nlI-
son and w. D. l.. Starbuck, although
they are opposed to the practice OF
radio lotteries in principle, are repre-
sented as feeling that the radio law
prohibits the commission from exer-
cisinR any power Of censorship.
The commission, it was said, Is mind
full OF the injustice being done news
papers and other publications by per-
hitting radio stations to accept such
types of programs unmolested by the
law. 1t may yet decide to assume
Jurisdiction, in view of circumstances,
and forbid such programs as contrary
to the public interest, convenience
and necessity" the broad yardstick
upon which the commission operates.
Hanson Gives His Views.
Elisha Hanson, counsel for the A. N.
P. A., In his letter Of complaint to the
commission. held 1t had the power to
outlaw radio lotteries. Under the
general powers conferred upon the
commission by Congress to administer
the law in the public interest, con-
venience and necessity" he said, 1.-THE
commission has ample power to meet
this situation now through the pro-
mitigation of a general order forbid
ding stations to broadcast such pro
grams and, in view of the fact that 1t
IS only through the broadcasting sta
tons that those DESTROYS Of evading
both the Federal law with respect to
the transmission of such information
through the mails and the State laws
prohibiting the conduct Of lottery
can carry out their schemes, the COM
mission would be justified in promul-
eating such an order Immediately"
