 Or go down and enjoy the supper club.

MACNUS HANSEN
 ARRIVES HERE. WITH EXPLORER
Spends Seventeen Days in Hospital Following Seat
 tie Waterfront Attack

After spending seventeen days in a Seattle hospital as the result of a waterfront dispute over the loading of his boat, the halibut schooner Explorer, Capt. Magnus Hansen returned to his home ir Juneau this morning at 6 o'clock aboard the Explorer.
 Capt. Hansen reported that five men were in the group that as saulted him and his companion Severin Swanson, also of Juneau while they were slowing aboard the Explorer small quantity of foodstuffs and other supplies fol their own families, and for a few of their friends.
 According to Capt. Hansen, none of his attackers has been appre- hended, or steps taken to learn their identities. Such supplies as they had already put aboard the boat were later removed by the firms from which they had been pur- chased.
 MT. Swanson, is also now In Ju- neau, having returned previously to the sailing of the Explorer from the Puget Sound port. MT. Swan ~0n was only slightly injured in the struggle, and was not forced to receive hospital treatment.
 The Explorer left Seattle about five days ago, and is now being stripped of gear for wintering in Juneau, by it's crew.
 Capt. Hansen, who is well re- covered, was taken by surprise by the two new buoys recently in- stalled in the harbor here to mark the shoal water at the end of the rock dump, by the Hemlock, and narrowly missed the red can mark ing the northern edge of the shoal.

COWBOY GENE SPRIN CINC UP
 IN POPULARITY
He's Third in Magazine Poll Leaders O'Brien
 and Boyd
By ROBBIN CooNs

HOLLYWOOD, Gal, Dec. H. The singin' cowboy was all set tip, in a modest sort of way He had just had word that one of those magazine polls on box-off popular .ty rated him-Gene Autry-in third clace among western stars.
 An that's not bad, considerin' we've been out here just a year and half" said Gene. We? That's Champ and me-and Re- public Studios"
 First in the list, Gene reported, was George O'Brien, and next was Bill Boyd who has been doing the "Hopalong Cassidy" thrillers.
 Me, I was just lucky" 20-year old Gene drawled like a good vest erner. T happened to come along just at the right time The time was ripe for a singin' cowboy-and came to town.
 T bet there's a hundred men in this town who can do a better job of actin than me. l know I can't act. And I'm not after changin' over to other kinds of pictures. If I did that, I might go and I might not. If I stay where I am, I can stick around 15, maybe 20 years. ,
 Wears Costume Constantly
 Autry wears a big cowboy hat, and his necktie is a neatly tied handkerchief. He wears boots, eeven cn the street, in the showmanlike tradition started by Tom Mix.
 Even with his cowboy hat, Gene Autry can walk down Hollywood Boulevard and few people will turn to stars as they do for the least important of dramatic featured players. That's because Hollywood is full of cowboy hats and cowboys and it's the rare western star who is an honored prophet at home But let him stroll through one of the outlying towns, and the auto graph books are whipped out, Gene averages about 2,500 fan letters month, more when he lis on the air"
 Only son of a Texas rancher, Gene Autrey was born in Tioga. He learned to ride when he was youngster, but his life subsequently, took him away from the strictly western life" His parents moved to Oklahoma, and Gene, who had begun singing in a church choir, joined medicine show when he was 14-for one season.
 Kicked Upstairs By Teletype
 At l8 he got job as telegraph operator on a lonely railroad di- vision. He kept singing and prac- ticing on his steel guitar. Then the teletype came in and the fu- ture of a telegrapher looked dark. That was when he went to Tulsa and started broadcasting cowboy songs-songs he wrote himself, in the modern manner.
 Five years ago he went to Chicago, after headlining in vaudeville, and built national radio following. And then came the singing cow boy" idea.

therly interest in the hotel since, years ago, he obtained waiver of a building regulation limiting such structures to II stories. The own CTS had set their hearts on IS.
 As far as the Raleigh is con- cerned, Glass is privileged guest No. |. The staff says he isn't fussy, But some of the hands re- member with shudders that time three years ago when white girl waitresses were substituted for col ored men
 A girl delivered meals to the Senator's apartment just one day The manner of his protest is in dispute, but Miller, the white haired negro waiter who had serv- ed him year in and year out, was put back on the job the neext day and he has not been disturbed since.
 Last spring ambulance sirens screeching along Pennsylvania Ave- nue robbed the Senator of his sleep. He sizzled a protest to the city administration that the si- rens howled even when the ambu- lances were not in a hurry. A city official sent him a box of colored cotton ear-wads. The si- rens still screech.
 The Raleigh management can't be as blase as that. For Glass to move out of the Raleigh would be to Washingtonians almost as sen- sational as for the President to move out of the White House. How ever, the owners took the long chance.

CHEMICALS USED
TO TREAT TREES
Fluid introduced Into Sap
Stream to Kill
INSECTS.

Trees doomed to die from insect
attack may help save neignoorlns
trees from the same fate. The only
practical way previously devised ior
controlling bark beetles "A serious
threat to American FORESTS the de-
struction Of trees into whicn large
numbers Of beetles have tunneled:
These trees usually are felled ana
burned, or their bark is peeled on ana
burned-a costly method.
Searching for new and better con-
troll measures, entomologists OF the
United States Department Of Agri-
culture have worked out promising
methods for introducing into the sap
stream of an infested tree chemicals
poisonous to the insects. The rising
sap carries these chemicals-zinc
chloride and copper sulphate-all
through the tree, impregnating the
tissues much more simply and at far
less cost than could be done with an
outside force.
Besides killing all insect life in the
tree, the injected fluid makes the
wood immune to further insect attack.
Treated trees, therefore, may be left
standing for several years, until 1t is
convenient to start logging operations
In their vicinity. Furthermore, posts,
poles and logs from the treated trees
will resist insect attack and decay
that soon ruin untreated timber in

yards act In 1921 has definitely fol-
lowed the rulings Of the Supreme
Court noted above, and from the be-

'age-life' theory.
Courts are inclined to give increas-
ing recognition to the income position
and potentialities in the valuation Of
investment properties, but even If the
income capitalization approach is
ultimately accorded the full signifl-
canoe that Is justified, the condition
of the property and the extent to
which its depreciation may be esti-
mated therefrom will always be ac-
corded a prominent position in the
appraisal process. The actual inspec-
ton and report thereon will be a
factor looked for in the testimony
and given material weight by the
courts.
Until quite recently accountants
refused to consider any recognition of
reproductive costs in the estimating
Of depreciation" Mr.. Hyder said.
There has, however, been quite a
swing in the past several years to the
more logical point of view-that pro-

there are number of separate

most daring translation from the

There are smaller matters of

of Mainbocher; some open sleeves
of Piguet; belts, buttons. and
clips, often in jade, by Vionnet;
