The signs were placed at the intersection of Bun ker Hill avenue, an admittedly diff. ficult traffic point. The system less than 24 hours old at this particular point experienced the first mishap this morning. Wilson apparently failed to observe the signs or att tempted to take a sharp cut about one of the standards. The result was a damaged sign and Wilson's arrest on two complaints. When

 Not many years ago, as history counts time, the gallows was the only method of reform. In recent years, man made the punishment fit the crime. Now, he is being taught to make 1t fit the man.
 Rehabilitation and reform re- place punishment in Cutters credo. And the man who has ham dled for Gov W. H. (Alfalfa BID Murray what Is considered a gov- ernor's most harrassing task, has done 1t with q minimum of criti- cism, along lines laid down by Murray.
 An unprecedented liberal sys- tenn of probation has been inaug- urated. Leaves of absence. tenn. porary paroles and paroles have been granted in greater numbers than ever before.
 Cutler believes that those who cry "coddling and sentimentaliz- ing" every time anybody tries to do something for the criminal class are all, wrong. He would do more.

 Forty-two- cars starting the race instead of 40 would make rows of three cars each rolling down the stretch in a flying start.
 Minimum weight restrictions would be changed from seven and ore-half pounds per cubic inch or piston displacement to seven pounds with final minimum weight of 1,850 pounds instead of 1.76O pounds which has been the rule. The change is designed to place semi stock cars on Q more equal footing with the specially built racers.

ERUPTION OF SHUSHALDIN
 A WONDERFUL SPECTACLE
(Anchorage Times.3

Anchorage Times.3
 The eruption of Mount Shushaldin, which began this week with spec taeular pyrotechnie display, had sub sided considerably yesterday. accord ing to word received late yesterday afternoon by Anchorage's amateur radio station. K7ABQ, from the anna teur station at False Pass, operated by Joseph Nasenins, under the station name of K7ALT.
 The eruption is plainly visible from False Pass, and Operator Nasenius has the unique distinction of being the only person within sight of the volcano who is able to tell the outside world about it. He communicates $ each afternoon with the local station and thus is able to bridge the long distance which separates False Pass from the mainland of Alaska.
 The message received yesterday af ternoou was as fellows:
 "Sh.shaldin volcano, on Gnimak Island. Alaska Peninsula, presented a most beautiful display of fireworks after dark February g., flames shoot ing to a height of 1 ,500. feet, at times lighting up the sky over Unimak island like a huge torch, interspersed with great clouds of, dense smoke. On February 4 the volcano seems to have exhausted itself, the shooting flames and flowing lava having given way to a belching forth of huge volumes of smoke into clear sky, presenting an overlapping spectacle"
 In addition to being in regular com munication with False Pass, the An chorage amateur station also talks with other amateur stations at stated times, the list including Panama, Crooked Creek, Kennecott and half a dozen other points, down the inlet, to thx westward, and elsewhere in the Territory, rendering a service to far removed communities which materi- ally lsssens the disadvantages of their isolation.
