Rental Hunting

With BARBARA HOLMES
UNFURN. APT. IN
ALEXANDRIA:
Alexandria, with its quaint
old homes, so full of charm and
atmosphere, has added to its
appeal, a lovely new apartment
house. Here you will find some
very original ideas in apart
ments. They consist OF two
rooms, kitchen, dinette and
bath and three rooms, kitchen
dinette and bath. The living
rooms are unusually large with
plenty of good wall space ana
huge windows. The bedrooms
are quite spacious and Cleverly
arranged. The dinettes are
more like junior dining rooms
and will easily seat six people
comfortably. All the newest
of equipment has been utilized
in the planning Of the kitchens
and meal preparation would be
a pleasure instead Of a task.
These apartments are untur'
nished and rent from $40 TO
$3.50 and they are really very
delightful and different. TINS
building is located within ten
minutes of Fourteenth ana
Pennsylvania Avenue.
NEAR CATHOLIC
UNIVERSITY
Out in that lovely section
around Catholic University,
there is a corner house well
furnished, where one can get
two very attractive rooms. The
house is in apple pie order, IN
fact. it was one of the most
Immaculate homes I have been
IN All the comforts Of real llv'
ing are to be found here, the
best make of mattresses on the
beds. roomy closets, easy chairs
and good reading lights. The
rentals are very reasonable, 30
and Sc a week.
SITTING ROOM.SLEEPING
PORCH COMBINATION:
Comfort combined with con-
veuience is the keynote Of our
desire in our quest for a place to
live be it an elaborate house or
Just a sleeping room. The other
day I visited a house where one
could get the perfect combina.
ton. A sleeping porch equipped
with a single bed and chairs and
a sitting room very cozily furn-
ished. While these rooms were
small, they had the earmarks OF
solid comfort, for as an added
convenience there was a handy
feature in the way Of running
water in one of the rooms. Now
all of this rents for the low rem
tai of SIS. It would be ideal for
the man or woman wanting a
quiet place for study.
NEW APARTMENTS:
am thrilled beyond words.
I Just discovered some very in.
teresting unfurnished apart.
nnents. They are brand new,
have a living room, bedroom, di-
nette, kitchen, bath and a rear
porch, and rent for $3.50. AS
these are real bargains, I would

Official Ship
 Creeter Turns To NetU Stunt

At the Pacific Coast Dock yes serday afternoon, Patsy Ann, Off, ficial Ship Greeter, displayed un- suspected qualities of determina- tion and moral turpitude.
 Patsy Ann entered the freight of flee on the dock, purloined ball of wrapping cord, and retired to the rear end of a transfer truck to ad- mire her plunder.
 Longshoremen, draymen, tourists from the Aleutian and miscellane- ous spectators entered conspir- acy to deprive her of her treasure, out Patsy Ann foiled all of their best efforts
 Cigarette smoke was blown in her face, her tail was pinched, leverage was applied to her jaws, but Patsy Ann remained adamant
 Finally she was taken to one of the posts supporting the roof of the freight shed and a protruding end of the wrapping cord was secured to the pillar under the mistaken impression that sooner of later Pat sy Ann would be forced to leave her loot in order to greet an in- coming ship. Patsy Ann merely broke the cord and returned to the transfer truck. At the latest re- port she still had her ball of cord.

 CEMENT, PLAN FOR PAVE JOB
Lower Front Street Section
 Not 10 Be Blocked ~ la for Long Period

[ In order that Lower Front Street will not be blocked to traffic. for a | long period when the section be- tween the Juneau Lumber Mill en- trance and the Alaska Juneau tramway is paved, a special five day quick setting" cement will be used. This was announced today by |E. j. Bowling, President of the Gastineau Construction Company.
 This cement is expected to arrive here on the steamer North Sea a week from today. On the following Monday, August 12, paving work probably will start on Lower Front Street, blocking that thoroughfare to all yehieular traffic for four or five days. sS
 However. at the end of that time, the entire roadway will be opened for automobiles. The usual 28@day wait will not be necessary with this "quick-setting's cement, 1t was ex- |plained R isaa sse tiHl
 Not only does Lower Front Street bear a normally heavy daily straf- fic, but the Alaska Road Comnis- sion soon will desire to use the thoroughfare for it's trucks to haul rock from the bunkers to the Douglas Island approach of the new Juneau Douglas bridge. a}ls s sfs

MISS BROOKS SAYS SETTLERS
 NEED COURAGE

II
 Pioneering de luxe, is privilege, and only real American grit and good thinking will bring success to Alaska's Matanuska Valley coloniza- tion project.
 At least that is what Mrs Doro- thy Brooks, New York attorney and author, told an Empire reporter upon her arrival in Juneau last night on the Prince Rupert. She said she had hoped to be able to visit the governments newest colony in the Hast frontier" but must sail south on Sundays steam er She believes that her many years of work with under -privileg- ed people in New York would be of help to the coIonists, should she have the opportunity of talking to them.
 Sees Opportunity
 Miss Brooks, who is credited with establishing the Poor Mans Court" in New York, said: When people are in distress, the nation also is in distress. Any plan in which peo- pie may participate in the vast wealth of our country is good. The colony in Alaska is one of the fin est opportunities for seeing peo- pie who have strength of character and the desire to be useful Ameri- can citizens"
 Asked if she thought that the people who are settling in, Mata- nuska will find it profitable, Miss Frocks said: "These people should

be grateful to have an opportunity which gives them Gods country in which to be pioneers and to have foundation that may lead to greater opportunities for their children"
 Receives Medal
 Miss Brooks believes she would be capable of Investigating the Palmer settlement. She has had plenty of experience in dealing with large numbers of people During the World War, she was recruiting of- ficer, and said that she enlisted 30,0O0 men. For that service she was awarded medal.
 At the present time Miss Brooks is National Commander of the Women World War Veterans, and is member of the American Bar Association She has written five novels, and soon will release a non fiction book entitled, @Oyer the Heads of Congress The publishers, Thomas Nelson and Sons, now have the manuscript.
 Miss Brooks, in addition to giving her ideas on the new colony, last night denied the recent dispatch from Vancouver, B. C., which quot- ed her as, saying, They are not happy. I want to know why. I am going to see the Governor at Ju- neau and then fly to the colony She denied talking about Matanus- ka with Vancouver reporters.
