 To date 279 individuals have reg istered at the Municipal Employ ment Office, according to Thomp- son. Manager, who outlined briefly the work done by the agency since it's creation some three weeks ago. Twenty-Five of the registrations are Indians for whom it has not been possible to obtain work. Tt seems to be case of just passing them back and forth between the Cty's agency and the Bureau of Indian Affairs" he declared.
 MT. Thompson has found a total of 97 jobs. Of this number AZ were permanent and 55 temporary, rang ing from a few hours to two months. Of the list of unemployed, there are 57 married men with families dependent upon them for support. Fifteen of that number have been placed in employment, mainly in the Alaska Juneau mine or mill.

EUROPE'S MIXUP
 IN RADIO WAVES
 BAR TO STATIONS

LONDON, Oct. 22.-An interna- tional control board with broad powers may have to be devised to keep the ether waves above Europe from becoming so crowded that they will be of little use to any broadcaster
 Authorities have been watching with growing alarm the slow but sure choking up of wavelengths as station after station has increased its power.
 Britain is particularly hard hit by the increasing confusion since all British stations are sandwiched between two continental high pow CT stations from which they are separated by frequency of only nine kilocycles.
 Nearly all stations on the conti- nent are making still further in- creases in their power. Stuttgart now, for instance, is only nine kilocycleS above the London re- gional and has similar power of 70 kilowatts, while Graz, the pow erful Austrian station, is only nine kilocycles below the London Sta- ton.
 The International Broadcasting Union, meeting in Rome has been considering steps to combat the radio menace, and may act at this time.
 A British Broadcasting Company official discussing the proble m thinks that in the interests of good reception wavelengths should be sacrificed and that Europe should have fewer stations.

on the request of the President, for the sale of the system will again be presented to Congress this win ter. and if the Territory is unfav- orable to such legislation line of action should be prepared now for bringing its objections to the att tention of the Administration. Any effort that is put forth in this di- rection will be supported gladly and pursued vigorously by this De- partment."
 Mir. Garfield's letter was referred to the Executive Board for closer attention and recommendation as to action that the Chamber should take.
 Oppose Seal Refund There are no net profits derived from the Alaska seal industry and if there were, the Territory would have no legitimate claim for any part of them. That is the asser- ton of the Administration as voiced by E. F. Morgan, Acting Secretary of the Department of Commerce, in response to the Chambers reso- lution asking for 50 per cent of the annual net income from the sealing industry to be turned over to the Territory for the benefit of its schools.
 The Chambers letter to Presi- dent Hoover upon the subject was turned over to the Department of Commerce for answer, and MT Morgan replied in part as follows:
 AS bearing upon this matter you are advised that the net amount paid into the Treasury of the Unit ed States from this source in the last two fiscal years was consider ably less than the total of expendi- lures through the Bureau of Fish cries in the work of administer ing the Pribilof Islands and their resources.
 Tn the fiscal year 1880, expen- ditures for fur-seal work were $349 ,268.41, while the total of re- ceipts covered into the Treasury of the United States was $237 991 Thus, the excess of expenditures over receipts was $75,2774l. In the fiscal year 1881, expenditures were $266, ,01925, and the net re- ceipts for the Treasury only $96,- 24865, which made the excess of expenditures over receipts in that fiscal year. $169,770.60."
 Request Not Reasonable
 However, if the reverse were the case, and the Pribilof's seal re- sources were returning large diW- dends to the Fe deral Treasury Alaska would have no equity in it, Acting Secretary Morgan contends, saying:
 After careful consideration of the foregoing and regardless of any other factors that may be in- volved, the conclusion has been reached that, as all expenses of ad- ministration of the Pribilof Islands, and of the protection of their re- sources are borne by the Federal Government no sound reasons ap- pear to exist as to why any funds derived from this source should be made available to the Territorial Government of Alaska"
 Wickersham Endorses Stand i However. in letter received by the Chamber and read today, Del egate Wickersham said he had re- ceived the seal resolution which he approved heartily and assured the Chamber that he would use every effort to bring about the desired allocation of funds.

NEW YORK.-For a bad case of depression blues" there is nothing better than an afternoon spent at the tenth annual Exposition of Women's Arts and Industries In stead of wringing their hands and bewailing their vanished bank ac- counts, women have launched out on amazing new ventures; others have persisted very profitably in the more usual business of interior decoration, photography, tea room management.

 An interested group surrounds one of the most unusual displays, that of Mrs. Frederick Fox, wife of a prominent physician. Last year she started a mink-breeding farm at her country home at South Salem. With minks selling at $50 pair, 1t is easy to understand Mrs. Fox's enthusiasm. Besides, " she insists, they are really fas- cinating creatures with varied per- sonalities." and she coaxed reluc- tant and brown-furred Bad Boy out of his house for an introduc- ton. The mink it seems is a hardy creature Given his exercise wheel, his bathtub and sterilized kennel his dose of cod liver oil and to- mato with his horse meat-the to- mato prevents an acid reaction of all things-he thrives.

 JUDGE HARDING
Criminal Trial Calendar Is Completed and Jurors
 Are Excused Today

With all the cases on the local trial calender concluded, and no further work in sight at present on the civil docket, the petit jury panel in the Federal district court was excused from further service by Judge Justin w. Harding after a session lasting since October D. In dismissing the panel, the Court expressed deep appreciation for the conscientious manner in which the individual members performed their services, adding, he considered 1t an exceptionally good jury.
 All members of the panel not residing in Juneau or Douglas were excused for the remainder of the current term. Those living here and on the Island were excused until November Is. when they are to report to serve in two civil actions for trial.
 On motion of tile United States Attorneys Office, Judge Harding this morning dismissed the indict- ment against Bill Keane by which he was charged with obtain ing goods under false pretense and embezzlement by bailee. Keene was recently convicted of larceny in dwelling. but has not been sen- fenced.
 A case against C.. B. Wyatt, charging him with buying fish from unlicensed fishermen, brought upon appeal from the United States Commissioner court at Peters burg, was continued for the time being by Judge Harding.
 These were the last two cases on the criminal calender set down for trial at the current term.
