They will be converging on Juneau this wees the men and woman C1rs. Nell Scott of Sedovia who will make up the 18th Territorial Legislatur which opens a week from today Transportation being what it is at the moment it is anticipated tha modes of getting here will be varied with the airplane probably in the principal role. However, the repor is that nothing is going to deter Senator M. E. s Brunelle of the Third Division. It seems he ha joined the carpetbaggers The Cordova Times i the source of information Here is the Times ac count on the resourceful Senator:
 Now at last right here in Cordova. the answer has come, We now know what carpetbagger is.
 Senator Maurice Brunelle is one.
 That is, he is far as having the carpet bag is concerned. The only difference between his carpet bag and the real, genuine article carried by the mid-l6th century politician is that Matrices has been given Alaskan touch by being made of canvas instead of part of the spare room rug, as We supposed the old fashioned kind
 Senator Brunele's carpet bag was brought directly by the maritime strike He is determined to get to Juneau for the opening of the legislature regardless of the kind of ship he might have to travel on, so he made his carpet bag. It is of a good grade of vas, something the shape of a miniature sleeping bag However he hadn't considered that angle in this early model, he says. It is large enough to hang a couple of suits Of clothes III IL ana II mas compartments TOT handkerchiefs, shirts, socks and toothbrush After being packed it rolls up la blanket roll and handle is attached by couple of straps
 The bag was designed to withstand grease water. paint. engine fumes strong whiskey and the idea is that Senator Brunelle can take any kind of passage available first class, steerage engine room. cargo hold and be assured his legislative duds will arrive spck and span in Juneau
 He claims it to be -wrnkling to garments enclosed and is willing to back his assertion with a substantial bet He may have withdrawn this offer recently since he has had practical demonstration of the govern ment boat service.
 Anyway, he says offer to go to Juneau won't find him unprepared as far as proper luggage is concerned Always practical, that's his motto
 Some of the lawmakers already have arrived It is safe to predict that the others will get here time for the opening session, being Alaskans an resourceful, the Senator from Cordova, mari time strike or no maritime strike.

CRITICS ACTIVE
$4,000 Shelters Built But
Spain's S Experience Shows
Them Useless
BY PETER c. RHODES
I,;,cd Press Staff Correspondent

PARIS, Sept. 6.-(UP)-As
criticism of Paris $4,000 afraid
| shelters increases, municipal au-
thoritics have been asked to con
slider the construction of deep
underground shelters in Paris
network of ancient quarrics. II
is estimated that havens for half
million people could be built
chcaply and quickly in those To-
Gated under only four of the
city's ACCOMPLISHMENTS.
More newspapers have joined
the public campaign against the
indifference of military chiefs in
regard to the problem of shelter
| ing Paris five million inhabitants
against surprise attacks. The au-
| thoritics are not far beyond the
1884 stage, when General Du-
chcnc, military commander of
Paris, outlined the army scheme
| of evacuating threc-ffths of the
| population.
The occupation of the Rhine
land has shocked Parisians from
their belief that an enemy bOm-
bardment will not occur before
| the armies are within one hun
dred kilometers of the city.
SCANT TIME
Paris is only three-quartcrs of
an hours flight by modern planes
from the German frontier. That
I leaves about half an hour for
the city to find a safe hiding
place. The army's plan for evac-
uation, especially in wartime
when all transport services will
have been requisitioned for mo-
bilization purposes, appears ridic-
ulous under modern conditions.
Parisians call for safe shelters
where the population could find
protection in the city, and quick
ly. The secret municipal council
meeting of last December 3 was
the result. One "mock" air raid
was the only trial. A decree is
sued from the session establish
ing the cellars Of all buildings Of
four stories or higher afraid
shelters, suddenly created $4,000
places for the population to go.
Today, after the experiences of
Madrid and other Spanish cities
under modern bombing condi-
tions, several papers have carried
out an investigation of real
bomb-proof shelters. They have
found very few which could with
stand modern heavy bombs drop
ped from a height of 5000 feet.
Such a missile, according to mil
itary textbooks and supported by
Spanish experience, will plow
through a modern building and
23 feet into the earth-unless re-
inforced concrete is used in con-
struction.
CITY OFFICIALS SAFE
Under these pressing condi-
tions, Paris can count on safety
| only for it's municipal services.

CAMOUFLAGED
The work of camouflaging the
new emplacements has not yet
been completed, but the work
done on batteries already in place
shows its effectiveness.
In the deep ravines on the har-
bor side of the point are the 9TH
or gun cmplacements. These are
sccreted so that only careful
scrutiny reveals the guns in the
pits, made to resemble the crrod-
ed canyon walls.

to fire over the top of the point

Stamp News

-FOUR countries have now an
nounced plans to issue postage
stamps in commemoration of the
l50th anniversary of the signing
Of the U. S. Constitution. They
are France. Ecuador, Honduras
and Venezuela.
France intends to print 100000
of the onc-franc, so centimeS de-
nomination 20 be used in interna-
tiOnal postage. Honduras plans 10
issue 100000 stamps equivalent 10
our five-cent denomination. The
other two nations have not an
nounced these details. Designs for
none Of these issues have been
indicated.
A national society of hrst-day
cover collectors is now being
formed by Philadelphia collectors
ord dealers. Full details may be
secured through Herbert L
Schatz, 1888 Chestnut street, Phil.
adelphia.
Boycott of all future issues of
souvenir sheets is threatened un-
less the panes are placed on gen.
eral sale and in sufficient auanti-
ties to fill the demand of philate-
lists throughout the world. MANY
nations have printed miniature
sheets and sold them as a special
favor TO groups that have con-
trolled supply and price. AS a re-
suit collectors have had 10 paw
large premiums. Some philatelic
experts go so far even as TO raise
the question whether such issues
are really postage stamps since
these paneS are theoretically
available for postal duty. though
never obtainable by the public for
that purpose.
France, it's reported, is prcpa,-
ing a l0-franc adhesive in connec-
hon with the dedication of the
American war memorial at Mont
iaucon. The French government
issued 10000 postcards with a
special one franc stamp on the day
Of dedication.

is nearing completion. Public SER

A few private companies and
individuals have built bomb proof
shelters under their buildings. As
the average cost is about 500, 900
francs ($2O,000) each, there are
not many. The $4,000 Shelters"
which remain for civilians are en-
tlrely uncquipped for gas attacks.
civilians are expected to put on
their gas masks. The fact that no
mask has yet been invented capa-
bic of being used by children un-
der four would mean wholesale
slaughter in case of gas lombard
mcnt.
Moreover, experts estimate that
all but few hundred of these
shelters would be perfect targets
for high explosive shells and
would be death traps rather than
shelters under modern bombing.
Under pressure, 200 architects
have been assigned to examine all
these structures and report on
the cost Of reinforcing them. The
job would cost millions.
CAMPAIGN PRESSED
Using the slogan, "Hcrmetical-
ly sealed and cheap shelters are
in existence everywhere on the
other side of the Rhine" several
Paris newspapers are lading n
campaign for an immediate rem
edy to the situation, which has
been painted with plenty of pes
Simism. They suggest that Paris
famous catacombs and under
ground quarries be utilized for
really safe shelters. A big indus
trialist has just completed big
shelter l8 meters ga fceO un-
derground in one of these quar-
rieS, which is serving as an exam
pie.
1t is estimated that shelter
capable Of holding $50 persons
could be built in the quarrics for
only 100000 francs $4,000 f,
and half a million persons could
be perfectly sheltered in exist
ing quarries. Additional quarricS
under the Montmartre hill could
house another quarter million,
but building the shelter would be
more costly because of the hard
ness of gypsum in that region.
Paris talk of wartime shelters,
and the horrors Of modern war
fare, with vague descriptions of
the effects of ypcrite. lewisitc
and other ncw-fanglcd inventions,
is stirring municipal authorities
to action. 1t has provided "A
