STYLE CHATS
With ALMA ARCHER

While the music still is a little
pianissimo about it until further
tests, there is considerable found
alton for the rumor that Prince
ton is seriously dallying with a
new football that is 100 per cent
streamlined. Really, Wouldn t it
be delicious if, with one swoop Of
the knife, America blunted an end
of the classic football and changed
all the rules? This new egg-shaped
ball has shown already what it
can do in the Wind-tunnel and If
it can take the real kicks on the
field with the same increase in
speed as it did in the tunnel, the
whispering gallery will be seeing
some games worth the admission.
And the team members inadyert-
emily will become track stars.

MANAHANM
 TRIP MORT H TO STUDY SERVICE.
New Assistant Manager of Northland Transportation
 Company Visits Here

After making short persona study of local shipping needs, and conferring with local interests re- garding service conditions, Walter J. Manahan, recently appointed Assistant Manager of the North land Transportation Company, left for Ketchikan on the motorshil Northland last night. He will spend a week in that city before pro- ceeding to his headquarters ir Seattle.
 Tt is our desire to give the shippers and travelling public oi Southeast Alaska communities or our route the best and most eff cient service in our power" MT Manahan declared. ITO that end I am visiting as many of these towns as time will permit now and later this Winter I shall make more extended study"
 We realize that there is room for improvement, and what we want to know is how they can best be made to accord with the needs of the business of the sey- eral communities. Until our new vessel is placed in commission, which will be early next summer, we will not be in position to do everything that we desire.'
 Some delay in construction of the new vessel was caused by the rehearing of the company's ap- plication for a Federal Government loan to aid in financing the work. That rehearing resulted in a second approval of the loan, after which work was resumed. Satisfactory progress is now being made.
 Mr. Manahan is not new in Alaska transportation circles. He was connected with the Admiral Line here for several years and was later agent at Ketchikan. When that company withdrew it's ships from the Alaska route, he was transferred to California and resigned from his position there to accept the Assistant Managers berth, just created, with the North land Transportation Company.
