The Brant will also remain in Juneau until the officers go south again, and while here MT. Wingard and MT. Lucas on the Brant will in- vestigate streams in this district to determine the extent of damages re- ported to have been done to the streams by recent torrential rains washing down sand and gravel.

HOLLYWOOD HAS MARINE FLEET; LAND AND WATER
Jim Ravens Is Captain Both Ashore, Afloat- Some
 of His Work
By ROBIN COoNs

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Jan. Is. = Jim Ravens is captain of the Hol- lvwood fleet. He has a skeleton crew of men he takes to tea with him when there are sailing scenes to be made, but just as often he works ashore.
 All the movie boats don't go to tea. Half of them, at least, are merely portions of boats set up on rockers on stages. But Ravens cap tains these boats, too, since he is both technical adviser and sailing master.
 Goes on Location
 At the moment, he's several hun dred miles south by west of Mazat- Ian, Mexico. He's out with four schooners and a combined crew of 55 to make racing and storm shots. He has to wreck one of his schoon- CTS (for the big scene in Captains Courageous'D and make sure that the camera, on board, records the wreck on celluloid the first time. You can't very well wreck the same schooner twice, out on the high seas.
 Ravens explained all the ships used in "Mutiny on the Bounty" " although others were listed as cap tains in the cast. During the film ing of that picture, a camera barge sank in a storm, throwing 75 men into the water. One man was drowned that time. Ravens has sailed ships, for motion pictures, from Newfoundland to the South Seas-and all over the pools on the back lots
 The nearest he ever came to get ting hurt was when he slipped tduring the m aking of China Seas') on wet companionway. He was saved from possible serious injury by landing in Wallace Beery's lap.

Havens Columbia graduate, be- came a movie draftsman in 1925 and later he was an art director. He's soft-spoken, in his middle 3Os and a dead ringer for the late John Gilbert, except for a thicker shock of dark hair Three years ago, he assembled his crew. It includes Stubby Kruger, Olympic backstroke champion; Gil Stirling, former Aus tralian swimming champ; Julie Bescos, U. s. c. football star, and Hal Le Sueur, Joan Crawford's brother, who is studio electrician between sailing jobs.
 He Has Courage
 Ravens friend say that, for a landlubber, he has as much cour- age as an old time sailing captain Tn the midst of a bad storm off the Oregon coast, a year ago, Havens got word by radio telephone from one of the two vessels he was com manding that the mate has gone berserk and stabbed the cook. He put out in dory, boarded the other boat, helped toss the mate in irons and the cook in the hos pital. Then he rowed back-stormy as it was-to his own ship.
 He's had offers to be an actor, out Ravens would rather design houses and sail ships. Sometime he says, he's going to build a sea- side house and a square-masted schooner. He doesn't know what he'll do with the house, though.

Colored Comics Are
 Used to Slow Traffic

WAUKEGAN, Ill, Jan. 16.-The
 WAUKEGAN, H., Nov. 10.-The Waukegan police department has evolved a novel method of slowing auto traffic near public schools by displaying brilliantly colored comic characters bearing warning signs.
 The signs stand about three feet high and depict such figures as Shirley Temple, ''Barnacle Bill and others. Each character displays a warning sign.
 Sergeant Laurence F. Kelly, chief of the police departments accident prevention bureau, says drivers slow down, if for no other reason than to get a good look at the signs.

a subcommittee appointed to as- certain the original and recurring expense involved in enlarging the number of districts. Charles E. Hart, Jr, chairman of this sub- committee, reported that new vot- ing machines cost approximately $l LOGO each. Two are needed for each voting place, and 1t is esti- mated that eight spare machines should be on hand. Eighteen new machines will be needed to aug ment the city's present 50 machines If the voting districts are increased to 30; 28 machines will be needed if 35 districts are established, and 38 new machines if 40 districts are set up. The purchase of machines would be the only original expense.
 Expense Items
 Recurring expense, the commit- tee reported, would include Q num- Der of items. Rent for voting places would range from $750 for 30 dis- tricts, to $l,0oo for 40 districts. Election officials pay would aver- age $125 for each district. Depre- ciation of the machines is estimated at 6 per cent. Repairs to machines are estimated ct $l0 each annually. Transportation and setting up of machines would cost about $36 per machine. Meals for officials, in- creased advertising space and in- creased insurance would also be needed. The annual recurring ex- pense, the subcommittee estimated, would be $4,000 for 30 districts, $500 for 36 districts, and S7,B00 for 40 districts. A subcommittee headed by Attorney Harry J. Beard- sley reported that 1,600 voters to e district would be c good basic figure to work on in making district changes.
 Ward Committees
 A motion that the chair appoint Ave committees, each to consider redistricting of Q single ward, was passed unanimously. Chairman Cairns then named the following committees:
 First ward - Charles Schmidt, William J. Pape, Alderman Charles Sciullo.
 Second ward-Attorney Beardsley, Clark W. Newton and MT. Hart.
 Third ward = Alderman Joseph Wilhelm, Edward J. Kelly and At- torney Clarence Balanda.
 Fourth ward-Patrick Wallace, Serge Belanger.
 Fifth ward-E. Vincent Maloney Attorney Patrick Healey and Will liam M. doss.
 A suggestion that the committee halt it's work until the october vot. ing figures have been tabulated wal opposed bzy Chairman Cairns. "Ii we have c job to do, let's do it." he said. He then fixed the date foi the next meeting ct August 30, and requested that the ward sub-com. mittees be prepared to report back possible district changes ct that session.

will be obvious to the reader.
 We realize, ana we think you do also, that no civil service sys- tenn can be perfect, and that 1t is impossible to have 100 per cent of the citizens agree on all its de- tails. It is our hope that, after reading the exposition, you and thousands of others will agree the amendment we propose efnbodies ( practical means for carrying out Q civil service program which we know you and citizens in general subscribe to in principle. If made Q part of the city charter 1t can benefit this city for many years to come.
 Again we say that the merit system movement is non-parti- san and we believe 1t should rec main so for the best interests of all concerned. Its strength lies in the deep-rooted desire of the average citizen to have the rou. tine functions of government con- ducted on an efficient, courteous and economical basis, and without favoritism: but at the same time offer an opportunity for . career in public service on the basis of merit and free from the in. terference of political parties.
 In view of the great public in. terest in this matter and the pop- ular demand that we answer your previous comments, I am sure you will have no objection to the re. lease of this letter to the local press.
 Respectfully yours.

 Rebuke Administered /
 Many interpret Mir. Goss' state- meht as Q rebuke to certain local interests, which Have been attempt- ing to make politicai capital out of the issue, a fact, which MT. Goss and his associates deprecate very seriously. It might be added that the "interests" mentioned are con- cerned in the success of the republic can ticket in the approaching elec- ton and are attempting to place the local administration on the de- fensive ina rather unsportsman like fashion.
 Defects Fundamental
 The defects" that have become apparent in the proposed bill are said to be Fundamental and legal and not technical. They are expected [ prove the insurtnountable barrier. At present legal opinion Is awaited as to whether or not the proposal should be placed on the voting machines in general referendum and whether the plan is in conflict with state lows. It may require an act of the legislature to clear the way for Q definite test of public sentiment.

 Waterbury, Connecticut
 Dear Mayor Hayes:
 In my letter to you dated June 25, which was in reply to your let- ter of June g regarding the amendment to city charter pro- posed by the Waterbury chapter of the Connecticut Merit associa- ton, 1t was stated that as soon as we were certain of c popular referendum on the subject we would use our utmost efforts to publicize the exact provisions of the amendment In order that the voters might have a clear picture of the matter they will vote on. We have since presented to the board of aldermen the petition of over 1000 voters that this question be placed on the voting machines at the city election to be held next October s, 90 that now the popular referendum is assured.
 Discusses Comments
 The comments you made on the proposed amendment in your let- ter of June g have been referred to by various citizens who hold that 1t is our duty to answer them publicly and in detail. We have deferred doing this not only be- cause of our desire to wait until we knew our petition would Dc successful, but also in the hope that your criticisms based on Q

Chinese blew up mountain tunnels. This, the first formal battle of an undeclared war, was to have ended in a Japanese parade into Nankow today.
 Chinese Advance At Night
 But during the night, the Chinese, who had retired from Nankow, sent forward some of their best men. They took positions southeast of Nankow, on the Japanese side Of the town. At dawn the Japanese out. posts found the Chinese there, and found that their own field telephone lines had been cut during the cloudy, foggy night. The Japanese opened fire. Chinese artillery shells were falling into the Japanese po- sitions.
 Four Japanese bombing planes, protected by two darting little com bat planes, scared up over the Nam kow pass and circled 1t. The big bombers dropped their loads and there was @ series of tremendous explosions.
 The Chinese seemed to have a chance of holding out for some time.
 Not only was the altitude unfa- vorable to the Japanese planes but the weather was cloudy.
 Japs Make Progress
 By 7:l5 the Japanese had prog ressed as far as Kiangwan, site Of the famous Chinese Jockey clubs race track.
 Chinese said regulars-not peace preservation forces-were holding their positions there. They were op- posed by four batteries of 6.9 Jap- anese HowitzerS.
 The Japanese, apparently fearing Markings airforce, were equipped with four anti-aircraft guns.
 For the first time today in this Shanghai war, firing was audible in the international settlement and Howit1er shells ct Kiangwan, in par- ticuiar, caused frantic calls to neWs- paper correspondents offices from foreigners, resulting in unfounded reports that fighting had occurred within the settlement itself.
 Tn 1882 1t was also ct kiangwan where the famous 18th Chinese army blocked the Japanese for a week, until the latter landed 0 division of endorsements at Liuho and attacked the Chinese rear.
 Chinese Army Surprises
 Peiping, Aug. 13-(UP)-Japanese troops were embattled in the Pei ping and TientSin area today by Q suddenly rejuvenated Chinese army.
 Skirmishing was developing into more serious fighting ct Liangsiang, l6 miles southwest of Peiping on the Hankow railroad, and at Tuliuchen, IS miles south of Tientsin.
