Unique Plans to Aid Nome Cause Laugh; One Group in
 Fauor of Teller; Wised-up

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-Unique plans to aid Nome are giving Alas kans and others acquainted with the Territory, many laughs.
 One group decided that wha; Nome needed was a good harbor and decided the fire swept city should be rebuilt at Teller and abandon Nome, building a road north to what of the town would remain there.
 Robert Bartlett, Secretary of Alaska's Delegate Anthony J. Di- mond, asked what about the min- ing industry about Nome, and was surprised when informed that it was all played out.
 Road builders figured that im- provements could be put in for a road to Teller for about $l50,0OO as they measured the distance on the map without regard to the physical barriers intervening be- tween Nome and Teller.
 Another advantage, favoring Tel Ter, according to one group of un- informed persons, was that Teller would be good all year round harbor." This group was surprised when informed the ice would be pretty thick" there in the winter.
 After the missionary work of Delegate Dimond, Secretary Bart lett and others, the friends of Nome" abandoned the idea of re- building at Teller.

Women's Minimum Wages Reported Not High Enough
 for Permanent RecOuery
By sIGRID ARNE

WASHINGTON, Oct. ,23.- MIRA has bettered women's wages; says a report of the women's bureau, but it has not brought industry to the point of paying high enough mini mum wages to insure permanent recovery.
 MIRA is just beginning says the bureau. However, it has had one undoubted result in demon strating the workability of national labor legislation. By setting stand ards on nationwide scale em- ployers have been freed from the undercutting of competitors in states with less advanced labor laws"
 Further, working women are showing an increased interest in organization, judged by their re- quests for help mailed to the wom- ems trade union league.
 Many Not Affected
 But the picture of benefits under the codes is spotty one, as the bureau sees it.
 For instance, only half of the 100000 working women are af- fected by the codes. The larger groups not included are servants

FRANCE PLANS
 SHOCK TROOPS
 AS 'STOPGAPS'
By ROBERT B. PARKER

PARIS, Oct. 23.-A speedier and a bigger professional army will be Frances contribution next year to the military forces of Europe.
 A body of shock troops, highly trained and lightning fast with completely motorized equipment, is envisaged by the general staff, Able to move at a moments notice, it would be used to plug up the few remaining holes in Frances from tier defenses until her reserve army could be made ready for battle.
 In order to test the capabilities of reserves to do such work, the general staff called out complete division of conscripts for the first time in Frances peacetime history
 The division, 5000 strong, was pitted against seasoned regulars in a series of maneuvers along the German border. The conscripts were commanded entirely by reserve of- ficers and non-coms, as would be the case in war.
 Unprepared for Rigors
 Two weeks of exhausting maneu- vers convinced the general staff that, however excellent the re- serves morale, they were physical ly and mentally unprepared to cope with veteran professionals.
 Stressing the fact that it is often the first battle that decides the outcome of a war, military observ- CTS decided reserves are incapable

WORK LOOMING FOR
 1 COMMITTEE
Not Much Seems in Sight
 for Excessive Expendi- ture Campaign Probers

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-There is at least one special committee of the, United States Senate that will have little if any work at all to do in the coming months.
 !, It is the group headed by Sena- tor Byrnes of South Carolina ap- pointed to investigate complaints of excessive expenditures on the part of either Democrats or Re- publicans to get into the Senate. Costigan of Colorado, Dieterich of Illinois, Borah of Idaho and Reyes of New Hampshire were named by Vice President Garner in the last Congress to assist Byrnes.
 So little money is being spent by Senatorial candidates, however, there is little danger of the com mittee even being called in session to as much as organize.

DETROIT, Mich, Oct 23.-AfteI Ia thrilling take-off, when it seemed for a moment they would fail to clear the trees fringing the Ford Airport, Prof. and Mrs. Jean Pic card are aloft on balloon flight into the stratosphere
 The big bag went off the ground at 6:58 o'clock this morning, hov- cred perilously over the airport then shot up into the clouds when Mrs. Piccard released the ballast. The balloon was quickly lost to sight.
 The weather was perfect at the take-off.
 The flight into the stratosphere marks the climax of preparations begun more than a year ago.
 Although their actual aerial ex- perience is limited to flights on which Mrs. Piccard qualified last summer for the first balloonist's li- cense ever granted to a woman, both have thorough theoretical knowledge of aeronautics.
 They undertook the adventure largely because Piccard is unem- ployed and to avoid wasting time between engagements at his more prosaic calling of science instructor.
