Blow to Spinach Haters!
 'Damping Off Conquered

ITHACA, N. Y, April 20.-More joy has been taken out of the lives of folks who don't like spinach by 'Dr. P. P. Pirone of Cornell uni versity. He has found a way to combat the disease known as damp ing off of spinach, which is ex- pected to result in more an bet ter spinach.
 The treatment consists of soak ing the seed for an hour before planting in a solution made by dis solving one to two ounces of cop per sulphate in a gallon of water. There is also a dry treatment, which consists of shaking the seed with cuprous oxide at the rate of three to six ounces of chemical to 10 pounds of water.

GRAND HOTEL COMES TONIGHT
 TO THE CAPITOL
Long Awaited All-Star Pic ture Arrives for Ju-
 neau Showing

Long waited, the most-talked- of talkie, Grand Hotel will open at Eric Pauison's Capitol Theatre tonight. This is not just another movie.
 Everyone has read it. Everyone has waited for months to see it.
 Of paramount interest to the
 picture going public is the tre- mendous cast. Greta Garbo, John Barrymore, Joan Crawford, Wal lace Beery, Lionel Barrymore, Jean Hersholt, Lewis Stone and a host of others, we are told, contrive to transfer Vickie Baums story to the screen with an authenticity and realism that is difficult to re- alize until the picture has been seen.
 Titled Theif Greta Garbo is Grusinskaya, the temperamental ballerina. Joh n Barrymore is the titled thief who steals her gerns-and love as well. Joan Crawford is the sex-appeal- | ing stenographer whose charms cause the downfall of Preysing, in dustrial magnate, played by Wal lace Beery. Lionel Barrymore is
 the sick, little factory clerk who goes to the Grand Hotel to spend | his last days in splendor. Stone is the doctor and Hersholt the chief porter.
 Ace Supporting Cast
 Others in the pretentious cast include Robert McWade, Purnell B. Pratt, Fernand Gottschalk, Raf- aela Ottiano, Morgan Wallace, Tul- Ily Marshall, Frank Conroy, Murray
 Kinnell and Edwin Maxwell.
 Director Edmund Gouldin g's
 camera treatment is unique and impressive. Instead of bringing the
 drama to the audience, he takes the audience into the hotel and allows it to see and hear what is
 going on, quite as though 1t were
 part of the cosmopolitan throhg itself.
 The settings are extraordinarily imposing and lend a distinctive character to the backgrounds. Of course, it is the drama itself that occupies the greatest interest but
 the appeal of the great cast can not be denied After seeing the ifilm version, the stage showing of the vicki Baum play could never suffice.

 ATTEMP MADE
 BY OLD MINER
Patrick Caivey, Broke and Out of Work, Tries
 to Take Life

Broke and out of work, Patrick Calvey, 65 years old, slashed his wrists and took lye in double attempt to kill himself in his home in one of the Goldstein cabins about o'clock this morning.
 He was discovered by neighbors who called for aid and rushed the man to the hospital.
 pr. w. w. Council, summoned to care for him, pronounced his condition serious. He may recover from the loss of blood, but it is feared that the results of the lye poisoning may be fatal.
 Calvey worked at the Kennecott mines for many years and came to Juneau last year when the mine closed. Depression. caused by his lack of work and diminishing funds, was his reason for attempting suicide, he explained.

BUSINESS DOESN'T

Autumn Revival as Likely to
Come in October as This
Month, Analysts Say.
BY the Associated Press,

NEW YORK. September 12-If that
Autumn revival in business which ira
d1tion says should come on the heels
Of Labor day has failed to materialize.
Wall Street analysts assert 1t should
cause no serious misgivings.
As matter Of fact, they explain,
that quick f1llip to business after La
Dor day is largely a myth. Past rec
ords show that the Autumn seasonal
impulse to business activity is as likely
to be felt in October as September,
and may even come later
Furthermore, 1t is pointed out that
the road to recovery from past de-
pressions has always been rocky, so
some momentary let-down, such as has
recently occurred in lines like steel and
cotton textiles, was to have been ex-
pected after the sharp upswing of re-
cent months
In some respects the N. r. A. cam
paign has added to uncertainties and
some Wall Street observers think it
may have made for little temporary
hesitancy, although it may well sue
ceed in speeding the recovery process
later on.
Recovery from past depressions has
frequently been speeded by the invest

Passed Upon.

Donald r. Ricnberg. counsel for the
Recovery Administrator, said al the
hearing on the retail drug code today
there mad been no implied approval
of the 56-hour Work-Week compact ad-
vanced by the industry for considera-
ton.
Richberg said Recovery Administra-
ton officials had not had any oppor-
tunity to consider the code and IF we
had. we would have objected strongly
to some OF these provisions.
1T is unfortunate that codes pre-
sented in this manner may give false
impressions throughout the country
that we have tentatively approved the
provisions which you have offered" he
said
Warning Is Issued.
Richberg warned others who are pre-
pairing codes that the comracts should
not be presented for hearings until they
had received a preparatory reading by
N. R. A. officials
Richberg appeared after advocates Of
the co5e had argued for the provisions
it contained.
The 56-hour work week, the longest
sought in any important code so
far presented. was advocated by the
retail druggists at the outset Of formal
hearings on their code, designed to
cover $4,000 druggists with about l50,-
600 employees.
The code also called for a 90-hour
store week at wages Of from Sl4 to
SIS for regular employees in large cities.
Regular employees would earn SIS a
week in cities over 0000. Sl450 in
cities between 2500C0 and 100000. Sl4

trade names or designs, misbranding
and reformation of competitors.
Explains Handicaps.
DR. R. L. Swain of Baltimore, secre-
tary of the Maryland State Board Of
Pharmacy said the retail drug store in
dustry could not hope to reduce hours
beyond the limits of elf-preservation.
He testified that IS per cent Of the Ma
tons drug stores were run by one man
and that As per cent were in towns un-
der 10000 population.
Swain said there had been no acute
unemployment among registered phar-
macists. All druggists. he added. re-
garded the necessity for price raising
and stabilization as essential for the
preservation of the industry.
In defense of the 56-hour week, 8
hours longer than any other maximum
proposed. Swain emphasized it often
was necessary for druggists to act in a
professional capacity regardless of hours
of operation. He said that from Is to
19 per cent of drug store costs went for
salaries, and that this proportion could
not be reduced materially.

ST. LOUIS, August 25-The outbreak
Of sleeping sickness" with its focal
point on this city and its suburbs. has
resulted in deaths in an area from Ohio
to California.
DR.. Harold K Knapp, Cleveland City
Health Commissioner, reported six deaths
from encephalitis during the last month
and numerous other cases. The death
of Richmond Calf, craftsman from
the disease was announced by the State
board Of health at Berkeley.
Fatalities in Kansas and Oklahoma
have been attributed to the disease dur
ing the last week. A death was at first
believed to have occurred in Texas. but
an autopsy disclosed that an l8months
old boy died of tubercular meningitis.
Three deaths reported here In the
last day and a recheck by st. Louis
County authorities revealed several
hitherto unreported deaths, bringing the
total in this immediate vicinity to %
since the outbreak July 80.
Every possible method which might
stop the spread of the epidemic is being
studied here by three major experts OF
the United States Public Health Service
and st. Louis physicians.
They are devoting little attention to
the theory that germs ere the cause
of the disease but are turning rather
to the virus theory.
"A virus" said DR. Paul Zentay,
assistant health commissioner Of ST:
Louis, lis living organism. so small
that it cannot be seen in the strongest
microscopes. 1t cannot be demon
stfated by the ordinary means used
in the case of bacteria. but In some
virus diseases it is possible to inocu-
late animals with it by using some
of the substance of an infected animal" ."
The fact that in the case of en-
cephalitis, it has been impossible SO
far to isolate the substance or organ
ism by which the disease is transmitted,
is making the study Of the disease
baffiing
Two hundred and ten cases OF the
disease had been reported, but physi-
clans said there may be many more
cases of a mild type which have not
been reported to physicians.
