TELEVISION NEEDS

Comparatively few people realize that
commercial television in t he United
States is scarcely more than two years

enough advanced today to be sold to the
public.
Not construction difficulties, but the
problem of suitable licensing and wave

of immediate development, and the Unit

mission is tackling that problem now.
Progress has not halted; science is not

Indoor Baseball League Formed
 Winter Games
(Continued From Page One)

Continued From Page One) and the Commercials, a checkup of tentative members resulted in finding that there would be suf- ficient material to organize those two teams without drawing from any other sources.
 Further action of the meeting decided that the season would be six weeks, double base ball games to be played once a week, thereby giving each team an opportunity of playing each of the other teams twice during the season.
 Details of practice, referees, or ganization of the teams themsel- yes were left to captains or man. agers. It was decided by the meeting, in order to repay the kindness of President Rydeen of the School Board, who advanced the money to obtain the neces- sary equipment, that each team would purchase two dozen balls and half dozen bats at the start of the season, costing about $48, in order that MT. Rydeen would not have to wait for four or five months to get his money back, and at the end of the season, when expenses are being paid off, the teams would be reimbursed from the general athletic fund of the high school student body.
 Superintendent Pool declared that work was going ahead rapid ly on equipping the gymnasium, and believed that in two weeks time, initial practices might com mence, and the teams prepare for intensive organization and train ing, preparatory to the staging of the exhibition games, shortly af- ter the first of the year.
 General discussion pertaining to conduct of members in the gym took place and before ad- journing it was decided to meet again next Monday evening tc arrange for more details, and possibly the staging of some ball games for the benefit of the Com munity Xmas Fund.

session last night at the city hall with all councilmen present. Minutes of previous meetings were read and approved, and bills against the city approved by the finance committee were or dered paid.
 Communications to the council included: the report of Chief of Police Laws listing eleven per sons placed in jail during the month of September on charges of drunkenness.
 A petition from s. w. Taggart requesting that street light be placed at the foot of B street and Main, near the Nome Lumber Company, where it is very dark of nights, was granted. and the street committee instructed to have such light installed. The subject of placing insurance on the Nome School Building drew much conversation and discus sion. The school committee re ported receipt of quotations from G. R. Jackson and B. J. McCon- aghy regarding rates. MT. Jack son quoted for his principals rate of $l6 per one thousand dol lars for a three year period, and MT. McConaghy a rate of $20 per one thousand dollars for a three year period. These quotations were opened up about a week or more ago, but no council meeting was held A subsequent bid was received from MT. McConaghy also quoting $l6 per thousand on insurance. After argument as to whether they should admit the second bid of Mr. McConaghy,t the council decided to accept the quo- tation of MT. Jackson, and pro- ceeded to insure the new school building for the sum of $50, ,O0C covering building and inside equipment, the premium to amo- unt to $500 for the three year period.
 Bids were read for supplying water for the city building for the winter. C.F. Yenney Water Delivery rendered a bid of eighty cents a hundred gallons, and the Poison Water Delivery bid sev- enty-three cents per hundred The contract was awarded to the Poison Water Delivery.
 Various members of the stud ent body organization of the Nome High school, in signed petition to the city council, re- quested the council to consider installing school bell outside the new building The signers said they believed this would do much toward correcting any pos sible cases of tardiness.
 To sell the old school building, or not to sell, again caused com ment among council members, it being stated finally that com bination committee of fraternal orders in Nome was attempting to develop a plan whereby use could be made of the old school building as meeting place, hall, etc., for several lodges. As yet they had not arrived at a decisive opinion, but it was reported the committee planned to send in a communication soon to the coun- cil, suggesting a use for the build ing.

SETTING THE TABLE
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
81 am giving a luncheon and
bridge. / am serving something
which will not require a knife.
Must I place the fork and the
dessert spoon on the left or right
side?
"Of course the serviette is placed
on the left side, is it not?
"When placing the dishes on the
table do you place them at the
left and remove from right side?
KAY"
Even if a knife is not strictly
necessary, it is best form to place
it. And this does give a much bet
ter balance to the places. How
ever, if you do not wish to place
the knife, place the fork on the
left side of the plate, and the
spoon on the right.
The serviette is placed either on
the plate or on the left of the
plate, on the left of the fork. I
prefer having the Serviette placed
on the left rather than on the
plate; but either position is cor.
rect for it.
When the maid is passing
serving-diSheS to the guests, she
should present them at the left
of the guest. She removes them
either from the left or from the
right either is correct.

There are native Italian types,
peasants from other parts Of

Every child will love them,

LOCAL GOLD DIGGERS"

Dear Miss Fairfax:
"Why are young ladies in Wash
ingtOn so graSping? They seem to
think Of nothing but eats, treats,
being taken to the movies, or out
in car.
"It happens that 1 have spent
a couple of years in Europe, be-
fore taking a position in Wash
ingtOn. And 1 found English girls,
and also German girls, willing to
go $3.50, when we went out, of an
evening.
"But over here, the man pays,
pays and pays. 1 must say think
American girls, especially those
who live in washington, are de-
cidedly grasping. What do you
think about it?"
mo SUCKER"
The answer to your inquiry Is
that it's the custom of this coun-
try for a man to pay the bill when
he takes a girl out. Some very
modern girls, realizing that man
makes a small salary, suggest 60
ing fifty-fifty.
But you will find this the ex-
ception rather than the rule. And
it's news to me that girls in Eu-
rope expect to pay half the bill
when they go on an outing.
This used to be the case with
Tommy Atkins" as the British
soldier is called. His girl paid be-
cause his wages as an enlisted man
were SO small that the usual pro-
cedure was reversed.
If paying for an outing Is as
painful as you suggest, why not
stay home and read, or spend your
evenings at the Congressional LII
brary?

SPEAK TO HIM
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
II went to school with him five
years ago, and when 1 met him
again, didn't think he would
recognize me after all that time.
II saw him first at the movies,
but was too baShful to speak to
him; even when he sat beside me
at the theater, l couldn't muster
up courage to speak.
"He always smiled at my girl
friend and me as we went out. He
Is working now, and / very seldom
see him. How can we become ac-
quainted? b. E."
AS you went to school with this
young man, it seems to me you're
already acquainted, and any
further introduction is unneces-
sary.
AS it's the girls place to speak
first, he waited for you to do that,
though I can't see the necessity
for all this formality on the part
of old schoolmates. Next time you

Now we find veterans of the
world of drama who have never
appeared in a theater at all. They
are those who were the babies of
the screen.
Yesterday we met one Of those
modern young stars whose whole
life was spent before the camera
rather than the footlightS. She
is Anne Shirley, HollyW DIS
youngest star mot counting Shir-
ley and the babies of the screen).
She is only 18 years of age, and
she, too, was carried on the set as
an infant and has really been be-
fore the camera ever since.
She does not remember when
she was first doing part, and
there have been scores of child
parts to her credit. She did not
realize. either, that George Mich
OILS, jr., of the RKO studios was
keeping her in mind for a small
part. 1t was after this first role in
Finishing School" that Anne was
recognized as a really fine actress,
and her reception was so enthusi-
astic that the RKO studios for
mally named her, at the age Of 16,
a star, and the youngest in the
history of talking films.
INTELLIGENCE AND BEAUTY
This remarkable young girl is
favored with great beauty as well
as intelligence, and even that
alone would bring her recognition.
She is S feet 312 inches, which is
an ideal height for any part, and
usually weighs little less than
100 pounds, and has a beautiful
figure.
Her hair is a beautiful golden
red of a brilliancy that her friends
call flame. The flame-hair lily"
is what they call her. Her
smooth ivory skin seems even
lIy-like in contrast to the glorious
hair coloring.
When we talked with her she
was wearing a smart new tal1
afternoon costume in bright blue
crepe with a becoming black hat
and one of the prettieSt silver fox
capes we ever saw. She wore gold
accessories in clips, bracelets and
vanity case, and the initials on
her black suede bag were in gold.
We asked her about the care of
her hair, and were not surprised
to hear that she did it all her
self. She is the clever type OF a
young miss who has made study
of her own features and knows
what hair styles are the most be-
coming and just how to dress her
own hair.
She wears an extra long bob,
Just a little longer than the aver
age Hollywood length, and with a
side part and only suggestion OF
a curl on the top. The ends are
finished in large rolled curls. She
rolls them up on the little metal
curriers', but uses only the large
size rollers to avoid the tight rolls
that are no longer fashionable
One or two shampoos a week, she
thinks, are necessary to keep the
hair attractive.
Anne likes to wear only a little
makeup for the street and thinks
it is nice to leave it off altogether
for sports and when she wears
