NEW WALK TRANSFORMS SELD0v|A INTO \ NEW
 AND MODERN CENTER

With it's long-deSired board walk almost completed, Seldovia has taken on a spick-and-span appear ance and blossoms forth like a real town. The board walk is prac- tically a community enterprise, be- ing built by local labor as rapidly as lumber and tinlbers are delivered.
 Those in charge of the enterprise were expecting large delivery of material Saturday night when the MS Discoverer touched the thriving Cook Inlet metropolis and hope to have the walk completed shortly. The effect of the walk, leading from the dock to the escarpment of the foreshore, is magical in giv- ing the entire waterfront the as- pect of real seaport. In harmony with the improvement, business men, whose establishments about the board walk, have been liberal with paint and renovation of in teriors, until Seldovia looks like a brand new city.
 Many business establishments have installed small generating
 plants and are brilliantly lighted. All of which has caused Seldovians to point with pride" and predict
 for the substantial Cook Inlet fish, | ing center a rapid and permanent

 Apparently, Lady Luck does not hold Mrs. Cos in very high favor, for some time ago her home was burned to the ground in one of the worst fires at Unalaska for years. But, out of the chaos and debris, she has built one of the most beau tiful homes along the coast.
 Only last winter, Mrs. GoSs' head and shoulders were severely burned in the explosion of gas lamp, which nearly cost her life. Yes, Mrs. Goss has had plenty of luck, but it has been mostly bad.

BILL JONES NEEDS MORE INCOME

Winter is approaching and the children'S school expense will be higher this year than last. Bill looks forward to less income in the regular way. Many industries have shifted to the "zigzag" plan for their employees in an effort to help everyone thru the winter. This means that each employee will have about half as much in come. Prices of clothing and food have come down some, but not in keeping with the "zigzag" income. There will be just as much coal to buy and rent to pay. Bill must buy and rent to pay. Bill must have more money than he can expect from his usual sources.

REPORT SURPRISES ALCoCK.

CHICAGO, August (P.-Comn1is-
Sioner John H. Alcock expressed sur
prise today that Chicago's police COM
municationS system had been criticized
as slow in q Wickersham Commission
report.
When the police radio, telephone
and Geographic typewriter alarm sys-
tenn began functioning as unit a year
ago this month it was regarded as the
most unique and modern equipment in
America.

lions involved by telephone, requiring
only the touch Of button
Commissioner Alcock said the aSSer-
ton that Is minutes we're required for
communication with the 40 police sta
tons was ridiculous. The triple COM

the same central room. has resulted
frequently in the capture of criminals
while robberies and burglaries were still
