Mayor Complains that
 Walkers Walked Fowl

WATERBURY Conn.,, Jan. 14.- Boosters have been accused since time began of awakening slum- bering humans, but it remained for Mayor Frank Hayes of Water bury to complain that humans disturbed the sleep of his roosters.
 When a hotel guest wrote the mayor complaining that the vocal izing of his honors roosters at dawn made sleeping next to im- possible, the mayor replied that pedestrians using a passageway between the hotel and his prop erty were at fault for awakening the roosters.
 Just to make his words more convincing the mayor followed up with a letter to a mason ordering the pasageway sealed up. Now his roosters, they say, sleep so soundly that it is sometimes noon before they begin growing.

SCOUT COUNCIL
 WILL MEET TO
 DRAFT PROGRAM
Meets Tomorrow Noon to Discuss Plans for An-
 nual Scout Dinner

Plans for a Washington BiCen- tennial program to be given by the local Boy Scout troops will be discussed by the Scout Council around the luncheon table Friday noon, it was announced today. Dr. Robert Simpson, Chairman of the Council, has called a meeting for that purpose at Bailey's Cafe at noon tomorrow.
 At that time, the Council will begin to make arrangements for the Annual Father and Sons Din- ner, held each year on the Satur- day evening nearest Washington's Birthday anniversary and which probably will be given on February 20, this year.
 It is said to be probable that the BiCentennial Celebration program will be combined with the Scout dinner, in which case, the Scout organizations will have the distinc- ton of opening Juneau's partici- patton in the national BiCenten- nial observance. The Blue Lodge of Masons recently announced a BiCentennial program for the eve ming of February 2, in Masonic Temple.

HARRY COULTER DEAD IN S|TKA,
 HEART ATTACK
Pioneer Mining Man Dies Suddenly in Pioneers
 Home Saturday

Harry Coulter, pioneer of Alaska and one time resident of this city, died Sunday evening at the Pio- neers' Home at Sitka, according to official advices received at the Governors office. He is believed to have been about 60 years of age and had resided in the north for some 34 years.
 E Death came suddenly from heart disease from which MT. Coulter had suffered, at times intensely, for a number of years. Efforts are being made to learn the address of rela- tives believed to be living in Cali fornia before final arrangements for funeral and interment are made.
 MT. Coulter stampeded to the Klondike in 1898. Afterward he went to the Fortymile region. Few stampedes have occurred in the Territory since then that he did not participate in. He was in the Nome rush, later went to Fair banks, the Iditarod, Kokukuk and Marshall. He prospected and mined in these and many other sections, and in four or five of the camps was the first recorder of mining claims, acting by authority of the miners until regularly appointed officials succeeded him. He also resided at Kodiak and in this city.
 In 1929, MT. Coulter, who had been here for several months, was made Sergeant-at-Arms in the House of Representatives. He re- mained here sometime after the Legislature adjourned, then went to Kodiak. He was admitted to the Pioneers Home several months ago.

JUNEAU TEAMS READY FOR HOOP GAMES FRIDAY
Special Ferries Will Run Tomorrow Evening
 to Douglas

Basketball players on the boy and girl teams of the Juneau High School are ready for their games tomorrow night at Douglas against the Douglas High School boy and girl quintettes. Light practice by the local athletes was scheduled for this afternoon. and tomorrow af- ternoon the two teams will limit activities to skull practice with coaches.
 Neither E. G. Wentland nor any member of the Juneau boys team is taking for granted a victory across the Channel tomorrow. Ev- eryone realizes that the team must be at its best in all respects to repeat it's triumph of a week ago.
 Douglas Has Advantages
 Douglas has an advantage in weight and height, and in the fact that they will be playing on their own floor. If tn etranS-channel aggregation has Rex Fox, who was incapacitated by a leg injury a week ago in it's lineup tomorrow night. the team will be hard to step.
 Elmer Lindstrom, one of the star players of Juneau, is nursing charlie horse" as a result of practice strain he suffered last Monday. He hopes to be rid of the hurt tomorrow night.
 Hope To Win
 we hope to win" declared Coach Wentland We are under some disadvantages, but we shall strive to overcome them. The teams are fairly evenly matched. A few fortunate breaks would mean vic- tory for the team getting them. Tn any event, the contest should prove an interesting exhibition
 The Juneau boys victory last Friday broke a string of defeats that had been inflicted on them by Douglas.
 In 1880 and 1881, Douglas took the Channel championship honors. In 1929, Juneau was triumphant, but then it was the first time in four years, Douglas having been victorious in 1926, 1927 and 1928, never losing a game to Juneau in those seasons.
 1925 Was Bright Spot
 The year 1925 was bright spot for Juneau, after a long period of gloom, Douglas having taken every game from the local high school teams in 1919, 1920, 1921, 1922 1923 and 1924.
 The Juneau girls team is deter mined to retrieve tomorrow night the prestige it lost in its de- feat by the girls a week ago, Miss Enid Burns, Juneau girls coach, has given them week of hard practice. In the approach ing game, she expects them to

BEAUTY HINTS
The Face Needs More
Attention in Hot Weather

Women who have been wearing
white wash gloves this summer
gather a fair idea of how much soil
the hands pick up in a day. In less
than a day. as a matter of fact, be-
cause they're not kept on all day.
But it's a rare n of u who sur
wives the day without a little glove
washing job for the pair worn. Isn't
it true?
Now, if gloves pick up that much
dust and CRIME, how about the
face? True. the face isn't into
everything. But it's into enough.
1t may not handle the papers on
the way into town in the am. 1t
may not brush itself across a desk
or rub a counter or open a door,

it, the face is going to get some Of

though they need it. all right. But
that the skin needs cleansing at
least twice every day in summer
time. There's more oily ~excretion
during the hot weather, for one
thing. There's more perspiring.
And there's more wind and dust to
