NO NEW SCHOOL {. BUILDINGS ARE
 TO BE ERECTED
Keller Announces Suspen- sion of Building Pro-
 gram, Current Year

Suspension of the Territor al public school building program for the current year was announced to- day by w. K. Keller, Commission CT of Education, who returned home Tuesday from a seven-weeks' in- spection trip. Generally, he said school plants are adequate to take care of present needs and, while some repairs and improvements would be advantageous. there is nothing so pressing as to require immediate construction of new buildings. N
 "The building program has been suspended on account of the un- satisfactory condition of Terri torial finances. This is only tenn porary and next year probably will find it remedied. In the meantime it is more important to insure a full nine month term for exery school than to erect new build ings," he said.
 Covered Many Schools
 MT. Keller's tour took him as fal west as Afognak and Uzinkie, ovel the Alaska Railroad to Fairbanks up the Yukon River to Eagle ane from there downriver to Ruby and from Fairbanks to Chitina ant Valdez. He also covered Cook In let schools except at Ninilchik ant Kenai, but he discussed schoo matters with one of the Kena school board members whom ht met on the boat going to Kodiak
 Generally, he found business mer and others optimistic over the cur rent outlook Conditions are abou as good as the average. At Ruby the people were pleased with th' mining developments in the Poor man placer district where som' recent discoveries had been made These were not sufficiently prom ising to justify stampede but in dicated profitable operations fo those having ground in that region To Get Navy Buildings A transfer to the Territory 0 buildings abandoned by the Nav when it closed it's radio plant ol Wood Island, has been requested and correspondence had by Gov Parks indicates the change will b made, Commissioner Keller said. H visited Wood Island and looked over the plant.
 It comprises five major building and four smaller ones. Three Q these will be used as a school plan and one for teachers quarters, oth CTS for coal sheds, etc. By tn expenditure of comparativel, small sum, a school plant worti several thousand dollars, more il fact than the s12,000 approved b the recent Legislature, will belon to the Territory.
 Uzinkie Badly Crowded
 The school at Uzinkie, the Com missioner said, is badly overcrowd ed. It is a one-teacher schoc which next year will have 40 pu pills.

but immediately organized a com mittee for scientific investigation on the causes.
 Centenarians, mothers of twins, golden wedding parties are not forgotten by the queen and many can boast some royal souvenir.
 Fond of music, the queen is a first class violinist, and has played since she was child. She is es- pecially fond of Bach, Brahms and Max Schilling's compositions She was especially friendly with Flu gene Ysaye, the great Belgian vio- linist who died two months ago
 She encourages young musicians by inviting them to play at the palace and by instituting the Eliz- abeth Foundation in 1929 to pub fish and promote the work of Bel gians and to help talented artists travel and provide them with in- struments.
 Because of her scientific training conversation on scientific topics does not alarm her
 Queen Elizabeth despite her frail constitution, is a modern woman Born in the shadow of the Bavar- ian Alps, she has a natural liking for winter sports. She is also a godd golfer and tennis player.

BRUSSELS. July 22.-Elizabeth Queen of the Belgians, will be 55 years old on July 25.
 Her birthday celebration will be purely a family affair, in the strict est intimacy, but that will not prevent the nation from taking part in its own way for she is "l..other of the Belgians."
 She was hardly known to the outer world before 1914. She mad history the day she said.
 "A curtain of steel has been lowered between by former coun- trymen (she is Bavarian by birthl and myself"
 A trained nurse since the days she assisted her father, Duke Charles-Theodore, the oculist, the queen turned the royal castle of Laeken into a war hospital where she personally dressed the wounds of the first war victims from Liege. She remained Red Cross worker throughout the greater part of the war.
 In those days she was called Queen of Charities" and she has retained that title, as well.
 Today she is a frequent visitor of hospitals, and is deeply inter ested in the fight against tuber- culosis, cancer and similar plaques. Founder of many nurseries for the poor and destitute children, Queen Elizabeth is always to be found wherever human beings are suffer-
