A T A meeting of the Administrative
Council of the Board of Trade the
other evening George Pitt, former
president of the board. happened to
remark that his son and his two sons
in-law each is named George-four
Georges in the family.
Somebody else commented that
George might be popular name, but
not as popular as John. There we're 30
guests at the meeting, and the sug-
gestion was made that the first names
of those present be listed. The poll"
was taken, and the Georges" won.
There were five of then-George
Graham, George Keneipp, George Of
futt, George Pitt and George Shinn.
The Johns" came in second, with
John Saul, John j. Esch, John Remon
and John Victory. There were only
two "Bills"-W. w. Everett and w. w.
Wheeler. But there were three
"Bobs" Fleming, Bob Cottrell
and Bob Swope.
Those in the lone wolf" class were
Harry Blake, Edgar Morris, Arthur
Heaton, Odell Smith, Fred Smith,
Marcy Sperry. Granville Guide. Hay
ward Marshall. Ben McKelway, Claude
Owen and Curtis Hodges.
Oh. yes, there were two Law
rences'-Larry Williams and Col. Law
renee c. Crawford. What's In a name,
anyhow!
EXPLAINED.
POLIT1CS is not the only manifesto
ton of Midsummer madness af-
ficting the National Capital. Take
now these "foX-tails" that are flying
from countless automobile radiator
caps.
To begin with, they are not really
fox-tails, confirming a suspicion that
there could not be that many followers
of the hounds nor the number of
brush-bereft foxes the display would
seem to indicate. They are really fur
scraps from the manufacture of fur
coats fashioned into the form Of tails,
so the fur industry may be credited
with having hit upon this method Of
profitably disposing Of what had been
waste.

on the S. 5. Derblay, bound for the smelter in Singapore. The work is still going ahead at the workings todate and more tin ore should be extracted before the final freezeup closes down the op- erations for this year.
 Operating six trucks, one gas shovel, and crushers, sluice boxes, rockers, etc, the company has been increasing it's production steadily all year.
 Of notable consequence is the fact that this is the only tin ore mined on the North American continent, a mineral which the United States has been sadly in need of for many years, and one which it has always been forced to import.
 About 35 men were employed all summer and will possibly con- tinue until the last possible mo- ment before the last boat sails from Nome for the States, it was further announced.

 He said they did not get all equipment completely installed until about the middle of July, and since then work has been going ahead rapidly for the past two months.

Big Pack l936 Willbe Welcome
 To Housewives

SEATTLE, Sept. 3O-Alaska's record pack of more than 8,000,- 900 cases is expected to find a real welcome from housewives in the United States this fall, re- port issued recently by the head quarters of the Canned Salmon Industry declares. The study points out that conditions now apparent in the market indicate that the heavy pack will be need ed to meet the expected shortage in other foods.
 While first results of the drou- ght in the midwest may be to de- press meat prices, since the short age of forage crops will necessi- tate the slaughter of large num- bers of animals, its effect over the year as a whole will be to create shortage of meat, leading to continued high meat prices,
 Prices of competing varieties of fish, which in the past have eXer- ted an even stronger influence on Canned Salmon sales than meat prices, may also be considerably higher this year than last There appears to be a shortage of mack erel in California, with the pack currently about 40 per cent below last year. It is still early for the big run of this fish, and the pack may pick up, but at present the short supply is causing prices to work upward The excellent sta tistical position of certain canned fish products indicates that prices of these items will remain firm.
 Reports from eastern jobbers and large retailers indicate that stocks of canned salmon now in the trades hands are exeptional- ly low for this time of year Movement of rail cars last month of Alaska's silver harvest out of Seattle to eastern and midwest

CUTTER NEMESIS
COMES TO PORT
COAST GUARD VESSEL WILL
ACT AS CONVOY IN PRO-
POSED RACES

Coast Guard Cutter Nemesis,
one of the finest vessels of its
type in this branch of the govern
ment service arrived in port this
morning from st. Petersburg and
will remain until tomorrow morn
ing.
Before the yachts which are to
enter the race to st. Petersburg
get in line for the start, the
Nemesis will leave her berth and
get in readiness to act as con-
voy to the vessels during the
period of the race. The cutter
will also act as convoy during the
race from st. Petersburg to Ha-
vana.
During former races there were
times when the presence of a con-
voy would have proven of great
assistance to some of the yachts,
it was said, and if like eontin-
gencies arise during these races
the Nemesis will be near to rem
der aid.

rived this morning from Miami

WILLIAM HOFFMAN
RESIGNS POSITION
WITH WPA FORCES
MEMBER OF ART COLONY
HERE SINCE 1884 PROPOSES
TO LEAVE TOMORROW EN-.
ROUTE TO WASHINGTON

William Hoffman, formerly of
Savannah, who has been identi-
fled with the art colony here
since the Fall OF 1884. has re-
signed from the Zeal WPA or
ganization and will leave tomOr-
row for Washington.
Since coming here a year and
half ago, Mr.. Hoffman has
taken part in all the activities de-
signed and carried on by the art
lists group. Perhaps the most
outstanding work done by him
since being in Key West was the
conception and execution OF two
murals, symbolizing the early his
tory of Key West, which early
this week were hung in the audi
torium of the Key West High
School.
For the past several months.
Mr.. Hoffman has supervised the
WPA work at the high school,
which, besides the decorative
murals, has included the re-fur-
nishing of the interior of the
building, as well as a great deal
! OF repair work to walls, ceilings
and furniture.
The murals which were hung
this week are hung on either side
OF the auditorium, and the figures
in them are one and one-half
times life size. Using soft, deli
cate. and restful colors, Mr.. Hoff-
man depicts in one of the paint
ings the early discovery of Key
West, showing Spanish explorers
finding skulls and bones, which
gave to the island its original
name OF Cayo Hueso. meaning
bone key. The other mural is a
study of the construction of the
Oversee Railway, which for a
time was an important part of
the industrial life o. Key West.
In addition to this outstanding
work, Mr.. Hoffman has contrib
uted several paintings to the art
collection in the Key West Art
Gallery. He also played IAN i'm
portant part in the decorating of
the stage for the two presenta-
tons of Gilbert and Sullivan's
comic opera, ''Pirates of Pen
zance."
Having been interested in art
work For nearly 20 years, Mr..
Hoffman's influence has been
FELT in the art program here,
which was started under the
FERA in the Summer of 1884.
