This information developed to-

Capt. Rhoda MiIliken, head Of the
Washington Women's Bureau, in
what was intended to be an inter
view concerning Washers in Wash

when Captain Milliken revealed
that the local police department
has little traffic in such viola

Then the conversation shifted
to other countries, where once

from the results of surveys which
have come into her hands.
In Germany the women have

In italy the woman's lot also
has been restricted principally to

At one time Germany had
highly valued policewomen's di-

Cologne, but the best information
from Germany today is that the

WARDEN LIKES
 ALASKA AFTER
 FIRST 3S YEARS
lack O'Connor, Widely Known Officer, Pays Ju-
 neau Visit, Long Absence

Game Warden Jack O'Connor ot Anchorage, who has lived in Alaska 38 years and figures that if he sticks it out another year or two he may get to like it. has arrived in Juneau on his first visit to this city since 1921. The Warden came on the Game Commission vessel Brown Bear last night from the Westward with Executive Officer Frank Du- fresne and will be assigned to the local office for short time.
 The Warden is dyed in-the-wool Alaskan The OConnor family came north during the gold rush and Alaska has claimed them since. Joe Jacks brother, who now lives in Fairbanks, was middleweight champion of Alaska back in the golden era of prize fighting and one time fought Stanley Ketchel He was in KetchelS corner when the latter fought Jack Johnson in Bos- ton many years ago. Incidentally, an interested young spectator at that fight was the present Executive Off, ficer of the Game Commission who admits his major achievement in those days was playing cornet in the village band.
 Before joining the Game Commis- sion in 1929, Warden O'Connor was widely known throughout the In- terior as a law enforcement off cer. He is former Chief of Police of Fairbanks, also Fire Chief, a former Marshal at Nenana and two or three other places.
 Recalling those days, the genial Warden ventured today that a few more years and he believed he would get to like it.
 Anchorage, his present station, he reported is having a prosperous era. Thirty new houses are now under construction there and housing is major problem. He attributed it mostly to the fact that the mining areas accessible to Anchorage by plane are having a successful sea- son.

New Meningitis Epidemic Breaks
 Out Near Bethel
Doctor Believes Disease Transmitted by Na-
 tive Carriers

BETHEL, Alaska, Sept. IS. - A meningitis epidemic broke out anew in native village six miles from here.
 Two deaths and one new case in the last two days brought the six months total to eighteen fatalities. All available supply of serum is gone
 A quarantine for the affected vil- lage has been established by the United States Marshal, but the Ju- neau Health Department has ad- vised it has no funds for guards to help enforce the quarantine. Belief has been expressed that the disease is being transmitted by unsuspected native carriers going to the village. Grave concern was felt here of the possibility of an outbreak. Scores of children, one third of them white, have been ex- posed.

couraging the natives in communal work, accprding to MT. Murrle. They are attempting to start com munity fox raising, with the entire population sharing the proceeds. In other parts of the Aleutians, mem bers of the party found that fox trapperS and breeders were turning to pen raising.
 "One interesting new thing we found" MT. Murrie said, was that foxes on some of the islands live principally on sand fleas. Even the natives were surprised when we re- vealed our discovery. Now we know that people who wish to set up fox farms on islands should thoose those with a great deal of beach"
 Motion pictures of the sea otters were an unusual feature of the trip, according to MT. Murrie.
 Studied Sea Otter
 We tried to study the sea otter extensively" MT Murrie said. "At one time they were almost extinct here, although they were the prin- cipal industry when Alaska first was commercially discovered. think it is up to the people of AL aska to aid in the restoration of the sea otter"
 The group found no poachers, although they saw, in Southeast AL aska, evidences of poaching.
 Several hundred bird specimens were stuffed by the group, and var ious kinds of fish were collected.
 On the Brown Bear are several Alaskan bald eagles. taken from Kanaga and Ogliuga Islands for the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle.
 Tufted Puftins, small sea par rots, the first to be exhibited, are being sent to the zoo in Washington D. O., as are five young Murres, sea birds found on cliffs of the var ious islands.
 The Brown Bear will leave to- morrow for Seattle, concluding the second trip around the Aleutian Is- lands Every island has now been touched in the Aleutian group.
 our plans for next year are as iyet indefinite" MT Murrie said but we are much encouraged over our findings, and we hope to dis cover many more interesting facts about bird and animal life in AL aska."

 5-MONTH TRIP
Fox Farming Possibilities Are Studied by
 Party

We discovered fox farming possi- bilitieS on many islands and made a full and extensive study of the habits of the sea otter on our trip to the Aleutians," said o. J. Mur- rie of the Biological Survey at Jackson Hole, Wyoming, who came to Juneau today on the Game Commission boat, Brown Bear.
 Other members of the party who made the five months study of the Aleutian Islands included Capt John Sellevold, Dr. Victor Sheffer of the Biological Survey; John Steenis, botanist and Douglas Gray of the Alaska Game Commission.
 One of our new discoveries, . said MT Murrie, was finding the nesting places of the fulmar, often called the whale bird We found the nests principally in the Prib- ilofs.
 We can't point to any one partic- ular thing on our trip as an out standing discovery" MT. Murrie con- tinued, but every bird we found and every survey we made added great ly to the store of facts concerning the Aleutian Islands. We found such birds as the European seal, dif- ferent from our native species, doing well We alco Studjed plapt life and found many islands teaming with reindeer moss. In addition we studied fox farming possibili- ties
