MINING SHOWS GREAT ACTIVITY
 IN NOME AREA
Talking Pictures Will Be Introduced Into Fa-
 nous Camp Soon

There is more than the usual amount of mining activity in the Seward Peninsula country this sum- mer, according to E. J. Beck, Super intendent of Nome schools, who passed through Juneau on his way to the States to attend the an- nual convention of the National Education Association as one of Alaskas delegates.
 He flew from Nome to Fairbanks. From there he travelled over the Alaska Railroad to Seward where he took steamship passage.
 Many Small Outfits
 In addition to the dredging op- erations of the Hammon company, near Nome, there are many smaller outfits at work throughout the dis trict, and at the time MT. Beck left Nome there were quite num- Der of men on the beach, with rockers and Long Toms, working over the sands from which mil lions were extracted during the gold rush days. The cleanups from the beach diggings are not what they used to be, but numerous workers are taking out $4 and $5 a day and some of the cleanups weigh as much as an ounce. The larger cleanups are not common, however.
 Net Worked Out
 It is the belief of MT. Beck that the placers Of the Seward Penin- sula district are very far from be- ing worked out, notwithstanding the large scale operations which have been carried on by many big en- terpriseS in years gone by, and the present extensive operations of the Hammon company and others en- gagged in dredging in various parts Of the camp.
 There appears to be a steady increasing number of small op- orators. and prospecting is being carried on in many localities, with very encouraging results
 There was not any employment problem confronting Nome at the time MT Beck left there, but it was expected that the summer boats from the States would bring in lot of job seekers, probably many more than will be able to find employment.
 Full Crews Were Ready
 Plants were able to get under way with full crews at the very outset of the season because more than the usual number of oldtim- CTS in the district had stayed the winter, having been kept at home by reports of un- favorable conditions in the States. They were on the ground, ready for work at the first sign of spring. Talking pictures, it is expected, will soon be introduced into Nome. 1 The manager of Nome's only the atre has decided to install the ne- sound equipment this sum- mer to provide his patrons with the best in the way of talking mo- ton picture entertainment.
 Involves Heavy Expense
 This involves heavy investment in equipment and considerable of 2 problem in the matter of trans portation, with steamships operat- 1 ng only during the summer months. | But with airplanes operating regu- arly between Nome and the AL 1 aska Railroad belt in winter, it will be possible to make shipment of films at regular intervals in winter in the event it is not pos sible to obtain a winters supply , of pictures on the last boat from Seattle in the fall. -

Hues For a Cheerful Kitchen
By KATHARINE CRUMBAUGH

If we all went to Nature for hints
on decoration. results would
often be much more satisfying. The
grass and trees are in deeper
shades of color. distance makes
things grow lighter and the sky is
lightest of all. So we should have
our floors the darkest, the walls
next and the ceilings lightest. The
larger trees and bushes are in the
darkest colors of all. greens. dark
reds and browns. These may rep
resent the furniture just as the
flowers. which are brightest and
most outstanding. may give hint
for the accent of colors in the room
that is being decorated. a lesson
direct from Nature to keep the
most brilliant colors in small guam
titles.
Take. for instance. kitchen with
q southern exposure. The floor
may be painted a dark green, the
walls a lighter seafoam green and
the ceiling the lightest green of
all. The kitchen cabinet may be
colored jade green which is a
stronger color than the wall tone
but not so strong as the floor.
Bright mandarin red will do well
for the trim or accent color. Or
the kitchen cabinet may be in
mandarin red and the trim in jade

ford post office and the employees
of practically every branch of the
Federal Government in Delaware re-
ceived diminished pay checks July

pay was deducted from the two
weeks pay checks of practically all
employees. In addition any men
who took more than one day off dur
ing the previous two weeks. Teceiv-
ed a deduction of an additional day
and one-quarter for each additional
day taken off.
A man taking off three days, would
have received a deduction of five
days, fiat, VIM. R. Murphy, postmas
ter, said, in explaining the operation
of the 30-day obligatory, payless fur
Tough, provided for by Congress in
the economy bill.
The making out of the checks at
the Milford post office for pay last

new law, necessitated additional ac-
countance work of the post office
working overtime Friday night, as
deductions had to be made from each
en- ployee's pay in accordance with
the furlough-w -witbOut-pay plan. The
new law became effective July 1.
