Read Plumbing Ordinance
The proposed new plumbing ordi.
nance, which is similar to the model
ordinance prepared by Herbert Hoov-
er when he was secretary of COM
merce and containing sections of the
Michigan code, was given its first
reading at Mondays meeting. This
ordinance would require plumbers to
serve at least three years as helpers
or apprentices or to have a plumbers
education in recognized trade school
before qualifying as journey m a n
plumbers. A plumber also would be
required to serve at least one year as
q journeyman before being able to
take an examination to qualify as q
master plumber. Plumbers in the
city who have been master plumbers
for four years would not be required
to take such examination. The
examinations would be given by a
committee made up Of the city engi-
neer, superintendent of the city
waterworks, and local master plum

ERUPTIONS REPORTED
LESS VIOLENT IN CHILE

Santiago. Chile. April 12-(R>-Vol-
canic eruptions which had terrorized
villagers in the foothills OF the Andes
for two days appeared to be subsid-
Ing Tuesday. The sun shone feebly
from sky only partially hidden by
clouds OF fine volcanic ash.
The dust had stopped falling in
Santiago, and over the rest of the
wide zone affected Monday the fall
was not so heavy. Seismologists said
they believed the danger of violent
eruptions or earthquakes over at least
for the time being.
The area affected extended from
Talca in the south to several miles
north of Santiago. Since Sunday
Talca has been shaken a score Of
times by earthquakes reminiscent Of
the 1928 earthquake disaster.
Two more volcanoes, San Jose and
Maipo, Joined the erupting group
Tuesday, both of them near here. A
change Of wind to the north brought
the ashes down on Santiago last night
and the thickness of the atmosphere
shut out the flashes illuminating the
southern sky.
The temperature dropped sharply
In the center Of the eruptive zone.
Freezing temperatures took the place
OF normal autumn weather around
Curaco. It was pitch dark Monday
at Curaco and pedestrians on the
streets carried umbrellas to protect
their eyes from the falling ash.
Persons who made quick trips to
the mountains reported three feet of
ashes In one pass. In Camarico no
one has dared to sleep since Sunday
night and business throughout the
province was practically at q stand
still.
Captain Ralph H. Wooten, military
and air attache Of the American en-
bassy. made a two-hour flight over
the area and said a dense pail of
purple prevented him from flying
nearer than 10 miles to the volcano.
The air was becoming thicker every
minute, he said.

known as just Billie" passed to his rest the morning of August 9, 1882, in the home of Mrs Campbell, at Dutch Harbor.
 There is no doubt but the major ity of those reading this have either heard of or have personally known Billie Moran, from the many years of his residence in Alaska. His breezy deep sea" yarns and good fellowship, will be long remember ed by all. Moran was a resident of Sanak for many years, coming to Dutch Harbor from there to enter the employ of the Alaska Commer- cial Company with which he work ed for 10 years preceding his ill., ness.
 To be added to the long list of ships lost among the rocky islands of the Aleutian Chain is the faith full little motorship Eunice that struck a reef between Carlisle and Chuginadak islands August 4 and sank with a $4,000 cargo of supplies and lumber destined for Atka. All an board were saved without in- jury, by getting into a dory, and rowing ashore. After taking their bearings they decided their best plan would be to row the 55 miles between them and the nearest habitation, Umnak village, which they proceeded to do with rest of one night on the way arriving at Umnak August ', where they were given all necessary assistance.
 Captain Andrew Nelson has piled the waters of the Aleutian Islands with the Eunice for the past four years and has covered in that time close to 25,000 miles in the small craft, through the most severe of winter storms, until she has become large part of himself. He is con- sidered one of the best navigators in these waters and no blame is at- tached to his management of the vessel for her loss. It is understood the Alaska Commercial Company, to which the vessel belonged, will replace her at an early date, to con- tinue trading between here and At- tu.

there, and so forth. Now he turns up thousands of miles from here, apparently none the worse for his adventure. But Paul Riggs was a most intripid mariner, without fear of the sea and when he wanted to go places, he just picked up his an- chor and went. This time he evil dently encountered considerable hardship from the fact that when found he was floating about with out a rudder.
 Perhaps Riggs will return some day to tell his friends here the story of his adventures since last Janu- ary.
 Since the early part of May, Dr. Eric Hulten has been doing very extensive botanical research work along the islands of the Aleutian Chain and upon his return to Swe- den, the early part of October, he will have completed the survey of a stretch of country probably the largest that one man has been per- mitted to cover, viz: from the Northern islands of Japan, Kam- chatka, China, Russian and Europ- ian countries and along the whole of the Aleutian Chain and Alaska Peninsula from Attu to Seward, and following down the Southeastern coast of Alaska to Ketchikan.
 To great many people this work may not appear important, but if the specimens he has gathered SO zealously and packed for shipment with such care, together with the field notes thereon, the magnitude of this study and what it means to botanical students, would be appre- ciated.
 Dr. Hulten leaves on the return trip of this SS Starr, very pleas ant and accomplished visitor this town is sorry to lose.

Of the conference have begun to

In reviewing the early results
thus far of the White House Con-

NJ. D., chairman of the section on
medical service, and president of
the American Child Health asso-

that only after years have passed
can the full scope of its influence
| be realized" The first committee
report of this section to be publish
ed was that on Pediatric Educa-
ton. 1t was based on a carefully
planned, exhaustive study of the
whole subject of pediatric educa-
ton. "It does not" says DIR Hamill,
| present a course to qualify the
man who will devote his entire
practice to the care of children,
