HOMER NEWS
By special correspondent

The Alaska Road Commission was here for six weeks repairing the road under the direction of Joe Bell. Mrs. Bell accompanied him as cook for the camp, and their two daughters spent part of the time with them. Miss Bonnie spent a few days in seldovia, the guest of Miss June Mccullough.
 At the present time, MT. Ed munds, superintendent of the Alas ka Road Commission for this area of Alaska, is here with MT. Gram mer, surveyor, arranging for road work for the fall. It is understood that $5,ooo has been appropriated for the project. The road from the smile post to MT. Shafer's will be repaired and an outlet will be made for the road down the sec tion line on the west end to the slough, and also down the section line to the bay near MT. Miller's, on the east end.
 Every little bit helps and it will give employment to many that have had no work this summer as well as help the whole community and it is greatly appreciated by all.
 Thomas Shelford has been made foreman of the work; he is we'll liked and is certain to do a good job.
 MT. Charles Erickson has con- pleted the work on Miss Richard sons cabin, and MT. N. O. Sved- lund has built the fireplace and as soon as her brother, MT. Gareth Richardson, has done a few little things such as painting and var nishing, the cabin will be ready for her to move into after she con- pletes her school in Chignik some time in October. Gareth Richard son spent the summer in Chignik with her.
 MT. Thomas Shelford has finish ed his cabin and painted it and 1t is very comfortable bachelors cabin, though we hope that it may not remain so lnog.
 There is one missing from our crowd for a few months, Mrs. Alex Matheson is spending few months with Mrs. Smith at Port Graham. She is greatly missed and we hope that she will hurry home.
 < k
 Mrs. Ray Rasmussen and daugh- ter, of Anchorage, is spending a few days with her sister, Mrs. Wendell Thurston.
 Mrs. Hannah Klockentager and her small daughter are new resi- dents here. Mrs. Klockentager is the teacher for the Homer school and the children, as we'll as the community, are very high in their praise of her work. We are very glad to have her, indeed.
 
 MT. and Mrs. N. G. Svedlund are spending few weeks with MT. N. o. Svedlund, hunting and visiting with their many friends. Miss Bet 'ty Yvonne Barnard, grandchild of Mr. Svedlund, is with them and no need to say that she is enjoying herself. Her father and mother, MT. and Mrs. Bud Barnard, will soon join them from Kodiak, where they have spent the sum- mer: it will be regular family re- union.
 Mir. and Mrs. Bert Hansen are occupying the Andrew Sholin house as he will have charge of the foxes. l They are welcome adition to the social life in Homer and we hope they will like it here. MT. and Mrs. Carl Sholin have moved into their own house which has been remod- eled this summer.
 We find three boys from the Jesse Lee Home working on their place On the school section under the direction of MT. Groth. They are making progress and have put

Spraying Chrysanthemums.

~ NE of the principal reasons why
outdoor hardy varieties OF
chrysanthemums fail to give
" full satisfaction is the failure
on the part of the home gar
dener to spray the foliage during Sum-
mer. The plants sheer ruggedness
lends to the view that they are well
able to take care of themselves. One
grower, writing in a farm paper. states
that he sprays his chrysanthemums
just as regularly as his roses, with the
result that the foliage remains green
and luxuriant right to the base OF the
plants until the end OF the Summer:
Apbids are a persistent enemy OF the
chrysanthemum, but yield readily to
nicotine extract added to the regular
spray. The home gardener may well
complain that there are few crops that
can be grown without spraying. This
is all too true and perhaps the sooner
the realization is thoroughly awakened
in the growers mind the better the re-
suits.
Hardy chrysanthemums have a very
long growing season, from early April
until November, thus subjecting the
plants to all kinds of weather and va
rious pests Only with a Constructive
plan of cultural care is it possible to
grow the best grades of flowers.
Mexican Bean Beetles.

lima bean paintings that look

can bean beetle Farmers bulletin
14O7. The Mexican Bean Beetle in the
East" by N. F. Howard. gives full
account of the insects's life, its feeding
habits and the best measures for con-
troll. One of the great drawbacks in
reducing the population Of the Mexi-
can beetle is its wide range OF plants
that it can use as food. When abun-
dant. the pest will feed on velvet beans,
kudzu, crimson clover, white clover.
corn, various grasses, potatoes, squash
and certain weeds. thus making impos-
sible determination by eliminating food
plants for brief period.
Magnesium arSenate applied to the
underSide of the leaves as a spray, or
blown among the leaves in the form
of a dust is successful control me-
dium. Used as a spray, l ounce OF
magnesium arsenate is required to 3
gallons of water. AS a dust. one part
of magnesium arsenate and three parts
of hydrated lime make an effective
combination. With shell beans. such
as limas, there is no poison residue
problem because the pods are not con-
sumed. With edible podded kinds, the
arsenate may better not be used after
the pods are forming but instead pyre-
thrum dust or spray. Obviously dust
ing is most effective in the quiet Of
early morning or the evening.

RADIO CODE SEEKS
SERVICE GYP BAN
Set Repairers Group Hopes
to Drive Out UnscrupuIous
Trade Members.

THE enforced exodus of radio re-
pair "gyps," who are fleeing
the unsuspecting public by prey
i ing on its ignorance as to what
makes a radio set operate, Is
sought in a code of fair competition
filed with the National Recovery Ad-
ministration by the organized radio
service men.
Under the code many practices al
legedly resorted to by repair racketeers
would be banned. These include the
stealing of good tubes and replacing
them with damaged ones; malicious de-
struction of radio devices during in
spection calls as means OF creating
service work or justifying service
charges; use of radio service as
means to gain access to homes for
illegitimate purposes, such as larceny
and burglary; charging for materials
not furnished and for services not rem
dered, and misrepresentation OF ABILITY
and training.
While some question exists as to
whether the code will be sanctioned,
or whether 1t will have to be included
in the radio industry code, its purpose
has widespread support. Better busl-
ness bureaus throughout the country
constantly are warning the public 10
y
Particularly rampant in large cities,
these radio frauds often have been ex-
posed by officials. Harold A. Lafount
of the Federal Radio Commission, dur
ing a recent trip to the West Coast,
witnessed such an event. He relates
that a comparatively new receiver had
lust been checked by competent engl-
neers and new tubes of good quality
installed. A free radio inspection
outfit was called. The repair man
found that all of the tubes were
burned out" and set out to refit the
set with inferior quality. He also found
the set needed several other parts, as
we'll as Tightening up" and general

AT THE MOVIES
A Lifetime Of
Adventure in One
Night on a Train!

Thrilling in technique, brilliant in
photography, cast. story and every
thing else a movie-goer looks for In
a widely heralded screenplay, Rome
Express opens today at the Capitol
Theatre.
Though built along the same tech
nical lines that made Grand Hotel"
and Shanghai Express" such out
standing hits, Rome Express" goes
both of those films one better so far
as speed is concerned, the tempo be-
ing accelerated considerably by virtue
of the fact that the entire action of
the picture takes place on the crack
flyer which runs between Paris and
Rome.
The story, briefly. centers around q
stolen Van Dyck painting secreted on
the train by a gentleman bandit who
has dOuble-crossed the two associates
who have helped him accomplish the
theft. and who are also on the train
endeavoring to retrieve the priceless
work Of art. This is the nucleus of
the whirlpool Of mystery and intrigue
which pulls into its vortex practically
every passenger on board the train.
No villain ever rose to greater
heights in the role Of master GRIM
inal than Conrad Veidt does in this
splendid picture. Suave, cruel. cal
lous. and determined. he commits
murder with grin and suicide with
a shrug. Rome Express also marks
the return to the screen of Esther
Ralston. The supporting cast is made
up of Joan Barry, Cedric Hardwick,
Harold Huth, Carbon Harkcr and

Version of
The White Sister at
Paramount, Filmed
With Taste and Skill

A new contribution to the list Of i'm
posing screen achievements came to
the Paramount theater Saturday in
the presentation of Metro GOODWIN
Mayors talking picture version of
The White Sister" with Helen
Hayes and Clark Gable in the prin-
cipal roles. In its poignant. touching
narrative. its beautiful direction. its
effective camera work and in the bril-
liant performances of it's two WE'LL
known stars. this picture stands out
forcibly as an example of the best in
cinema art.
F.. Marion Crawford's immortal
story OF the girl who enters a con-
vent when she believes her lover to be
dead only to meet him again after
she has taken her holy vows. is too
well known to bear repetition in these
columns. Sufficient to say that the
lew talkie version Of the tale brings
out its most forceful moments, de-
scribes the experiences Of the roman
tic italian girl and her soldier-lover
n series Of warm, sympathetic. hu-
man episodes and brings the narrative
~ close in as heartrending climax
as has been seen on the screen in
some time
Obviously it is the work of Miss
Hayes, Gable and an unusually COM
retent supporting cast which has
much to do with making the talking
picture version Of THE White Sister"
the stirring, effective. romantic drama
that it is. Miss Hayes, whose work
In "A Farewell to Arms" and THE
Sin OF Madelon Claudet" has proved
beyond doubt that she is the cinema's
most striking emotional actress. again
brings all her skin to the role Of
Angela, heroine Of her present vehicle.
