that 1t would be wasteful to permit sta
tons to spend about $3.50, 900 each for
SO, 00O-watt transmitters only to have
their whole positions changed by adj
vanceS in radio technique.
The commission has before 1t volu-
minous record Overwhelmingly favoring
lifting the restriction. Hardly muir
muir of opposition has been heard to
this plea, except from the commissions
own witnesses.
Before the commission also is the
report of its chief examiner, Ellis A.
YoSt, who first recommended the COM
mission amend its regulations and per-
NIT all cleared channel stations to use
the maximum power. The commission
tossed this report back to Mr.. Yost and
instructed him to select the eight sta
tionS to fill the existing vacancies from
among % applicants.
Mr.. Yost recommended stations WIZ,
Rev York; WCAU, Philadelphia; WSM,
Nashville; WSB, Atlanta; WGN, Chi
cago; WCCO, Minneapolis; KOA. Den
yer, and KPO, San Francisco. Whether
the commission will follow Mr.. Yost's
second recommendation is problemat-
ical. 1t is likely votes will be cast on
the applications by zones and the sta
lions obtaining the majority votes OF
the five commissioners will be accorded
the grants. Notice has been served
that there will be litigation If the COM
mission does not amend its present reg
ulation and permit all of the applicant
stations the maximum power.

hunts for diversion, and his diversion
always costs him something 1t Is not
surprising that the most thrifty bust
nesses in England today are tobacco
and liquor"
This educator called attention to the
fact that the Imperial Tobacco Co. had
declared a half-yearly dividend of
f6.500,000 cover 10000, 000),
THE unemployed haven't smoked all
that" he said, but the fact that near
ly 100000 idle persons in England
have time to smoke and money to buy
that business just as it has upon the
beer business. The British workers
natural instinct for thrift. which would
tighten under half wage, breaks down
under dole.
I'm addition to discouraging thrift
on the part of the beneficiaries it also
tends to make the regular employed
careless about the future. The empha-
sis on individual responsibility Is being
transferred to the government both by
employed and unemployed"
An honest effort is being made here,
as in other parts of the kingdom, to
train men for labor other than that
in which they formerly were engaged.
Various schemes for relieving unem-
ployment are put forward. the greatest
being the building of $15,000,0 900 road
from Manchester to Liverpool.
One of the difficulties attendant upon
this is the difficulty of breaking down
the fixed habits of the English worker.
If he has been a coal miner all his life
he wants to stay in his mining district,
where oftentimes he owns a home and
where his ancestors mined coal. II ne
comes away for a casual job he hurries
back to the home town as soon as the
job runs out. The effort to build up
an elastic crowd of road builders for
work In various parts of England has
not been too successful, because the or
binary man would rather live at home
on smaller benefit allowance than 60
away.

RADIO
RULING DUE SOON
Commission Takes Up Prob
lem of SO, OOO-Watt Sta
tons This Week.

After more than a year Of delibera-
ton, the Federal Radio Commission this
week plans to dispose of one Of its most
turbulent issues-high power for broad
casting.
The commission will begin considera-
ton Thursday of this vexatious ques-
ton, presumably to keep the matter
before 1t until finally decided. 1t is
considered likely the case will be de-
cided within few hours, and it seems
evident the commission, by a record
vote, will turn thumbs down on pro-
posals that all Of the stations-some SIS
operating on the 40 cleared channels
be allowed the maximum power Of 50,-
900 watts.
Competitive applications Of "a sta
lions are involved, all admittedly Of
first rank, for the right to use the maxi
mum power, which, they contend, will
permit vastly improved service, not only
to their regular listeners, but to the re-
mote areas where service is really
needed.
Only Eight Vacancies.
But there are only eight vacancies for
assignments of this power under COM
mission regulations, with a dozen such
positions already occupied.
The commission must decide whether
1t will stick to its present regulations,
which specify that only 20 Of the 40
cleared channels may be occupied by
50,000-watt stations, or whether 1t will
lift the restriction and allow I'll 20
channels to accommodate such power
on equal basis. A majority Of the COM
mission already has indicated opposi-
ton to the blanket increase on the
ground engineering experiments are in
progress which might change the whole
complexion of the ALLEGATIONS. AS a
consequence the argument Is advanced

 There are number of nice families living at Solomon that would appreciate your kindness if yau gool Nomeites will do a little boosting for a school for these rhildren. We believe there are enough school age children here to justify us in having d sthoo! and of course that calls for d teacher also.

 keep in touch with the carriers going and coming from the South d radio station is needed.
 It is well known fact that d mineralized country is back of Unalakleet. Prospectors are talk ing outfits into different sections. A strike may be made at any time That would be news that would electrify not only Alaska. but the Oustide. In that case a wireless would be mighty handy.
 It will undoubtedly be claimed that the telephone between here and Nulato puts us in direct com munication with the outside and that if the line between here and St. Michael were renovated all purposes would be served and at less cost than a radio station. It is a fact that when the land line under military authority was in operation that it served but it must he remembered that therf were military stations along the route and when the line broke, as it often did, force of men from the nearest station was on the job and the line was fixed. Now # the line breaks the mail car riers may fix it if the trail hap pens to pass near the break.
 The mail carriers have all they can do in the short days to get the mail through without looking for breaks. If force is sent out it is a question as to how long the repair may take. The line between here and St. Michael is exposed all along the coast to a westerly wind. This wind carries moisture and striking the wire as it does, ice is formed. Thus the wire broken in several places and is weighted down in others so as to form grounds, etc, and there you are as me friend Hen messy says. A wireless would ob- viate all these things and would give an ever increasing electorate a renewed confidence in our bene- volent Uncle.

JAKE TOPOLSkY BURIED.

The last sad rites over the remains of the late Jake Topolsky were conducted at Pioneer Igloo hail under the auspices of the Pio- neers of Alaska and Fraternal Or der of Eagles, of which the deceas Jed wE a life long member.
 The funeral took place last sun day and besides a big turnout by both orders large number of townspeople attended Father H. Post officiated, and at the conclu sion of the services, which were simple, the cortege wended it's way to Belmont Point cemetery where interment was made.
 Mir. Topolsky had been identi fled with Nome since 1900. In The early gold rush days he con- ducted restaurants and lunch coun ters, later he became interested in mining wh oh he followed up to the time of his dea,h. He was a well known ani fam l'a@ citizen, and with all his faults. he had ,many good and kindly traits, and these are what his friends spoke of after death.
 Mir. Topolshy lived to himself on his m ming claims on Dexter divide. His only neighbor being Peter Danielson. about mile away. II being the custom of Mr. Danielson to can on Mir Topolsky about once week. this time he received no answer to his knock on the door, and upon entering he found Mir, Topolsky lying dead on he floor in his underwear. He immediately came to town and re- ported to the Marshals office and soon afterward officials visited the cabin and brought the body to Nome
 Officials state that all indica- bloH' tDluLGu Ib lHc ISttl lldI M :. Topolsky had been sick several days before death. The water in huckets WIS frozen and the body i was partly frozen. The coal oil lamp as well as the gasoline lamp had burned dry and from the looks of the stove he evidently tried to build a fire.
 Gus Masgik the well known mush"r, enruute to the Pilgrim Springs and Igl0o, stopped at To- polsky's cabin six days before he was found dead. Massik says he found Jake sick and volunteered to go back to Nome with his dog team and get a doctor. all of which Jake refused. At the time of death he was over 70 years of age, was able bodied and never was afflicted by sickness of any kind

Princess Doll From Germany.

Patriotic English fathers and moth
ers who love their King and anything
else that is royal. are having the shock
of their existence. To honor the very
popular little Princess Elizabeth, a
Princess Elizabeth" doll, approved by
the Duke and Duchess of York, was
produced by the Chad Valley toy max
ers. The new dolls became the rage.
Many parents eagerly bought dolls with
features and dress similar TO the prin-
cess, only to be shown by their off,
spring that the dolls bore "Made-in-
Germany" label. 1t was a duplicate of
the English product.
