OF MALONY BLOCK
 STARTS TODAY
Six Houses to Be Remodel. ed, One to Contain
 Apartments

Adding a great deal of improve ment to one of the residential dis tricts of Juneau, complete reno yation of six of the houses in the Malony block bounded by Harris, East, Fifth and Sixth streets, is being started today under the di- rection of Architect G. c. Field of Seattle.
 Three houses on Fifth Street and three on Sixth Street will be re- modelled including the Malony home which will be turned into an apart ment house containing three mod ern apartments, MT. Field an- nounced today.
 The houses will have a stucco exterior and will be equipped with individual garages built in the base ment and separated from the up- stairs by fireproof partitions and doors. Each house will be lined with Celotex and will be heated by an oil burner The houses which will be for sale or rent will tain hardwood floors, tile baths and sinks, and dinettes with convenient pantries and shelves.
 The grounds around each house are to be leveled and laid out for grass or gardens.
 Of particular interest is the an- i tique furniture which was a part of the interior decoration of the Malony home. Some of the rare pieces will be kept for the furnish ing of the new apartments and others will be sold, MT Field an- nounced.
 Mrs. c. C. Malony, owner of the 1 block was a recent arrival in Juneau and is a guest at the Zynda Hotel.

Park Progress.

Those who had their doubts as to the
full propriety of the changes being made
in some of the squares and circles of
the city should feel at rest these days,
as they see the plans taking shape.
Landscape work at certain stages seems
hopeless. Every one knows how it is
with a house, just after it has been
built, before the lawn is graded and
sodded, and the shrubs are in. No
matter how fine the home, the entire
place looks bare and almost desolate.
Lo! then the magic of the landscape
artist, who. with few deft touches, and
some good shrubs, creates a picture
which satisfies both the home owner and
all his friends who come to call.
It is so with our parks. The feelings
of doubt over what was to be done, was
actually being done, which assailed so

Dragon Departs.

The celebrated Komodo lizard, known

dragon, has departed. His keepers at
tribute his demise to a hunger strike,
and he therefore may be said to have
committed suicide. But, If that theory
be correct, misunderstanding surely
was responsible
Dragons traditionally are fearsome
creatures. Wickedness is expected of
them. For untold centuries they have
been represented in the folk memory or
at least in the imagination of mankind
as symbols of sinfulnesS. They have
played the role of villain in the heroic
sagas of the ancient peoples of the East
and the West alike. Chaldaea, Assyria,
Phoenicia, Egypt, Judea, Greece and
Rome had their own special varieties OF
fabulous monsters of the dragon genus;
Christian Europe adopted and preserved
these several concepts; even Scandina-

Wise Tolerance.

The rights of the people to petition
and peaceably to assemble do not, Of
course, convey the privilege of camping
in State capitols and bringing to bear on
the orderly processes of legislation the
boots, howlS catcallS and epithetS OF
noisy demonstrators. But 1t is worthy of
note that in Harrisburg as not long ago
at Trenton. such demonstrators are per-
mitted to proceed without any attempt
by the police to halt them.
Would the same thing have happened
a few years ago-before the depression?
Probably not. The impudence of taking
over the galleries in the legislative cham
bers and noisily drowning out the
processes of legislation would doubtless
have brought forceful response from the
police But the depression has made
people more tolerant. There Is realiza-
tion that while such demonstrations as
those at Harrisburg and Trenton lack
the sincerity of spontaneity and are
trumped up by few organizers, they do
symbolic something of the desperation
Of the unfortunate victims of the de-
preston. The wise way of dealing with
them is to let them wear themselves out.
AS long as the authorities exhibit
tolerance in dealing with these people,
public sentiment is behind them. But
let them order the police to begin club
bing and public sentiment will quickly
turn against them. The demonstration
at Trenton, where the agitators took over
the legislative chambers for several days,
came to nothing. No relief appropria-
tions were voted. And at Harrisburg the
demonstrators will have little effect on
the legislation under consideration,
which would provide an amount far
below the demands of the hunger
marchers."
