Florence Syverud Speaks Yesterday
 At Club Luncheon
Fifty Attend Woman's S Club Gathering at
 Percy's

Stressing the important fact that homemaking is a profession rather than an odd job that any one can do. Mrs. Florence Syverud, head of the Extension Work of the Uni versity of Alaska, brought an in spring and challenging message to the fifty women assembled yeSter- day at the no-host luncheon held under the auspices of the American Home Department of the Juneau Woman's Club.
 A scientist in that she should be able to understand food chemistry and textile values, trained nurse | in that she must look after the | physical well-ebing of her family | a psychologist in that she must understand the fundamental prin- ciples involved in the rearing and ! training of her children, purchaS- l ing agent who spends 80 per cent of American income, the American housewife, Mrs. Syverud declared is still classed by census takers and others as having no occupation "Her's is the only profession 1T which no special training is re- quired by law, and no standards oi qualifications have been determin- ed" she concluded
 Mrs Syverids address was the highlight in a program which in- cluded two delightful vocal solos None But the Lonely Heart by Tchaikovsky, and My Lover Is 8 Fisherman" by Strikland sung by Mrs. John Keyser, with Mrs. Caro- Beery Davis, at the piano; an in teresting reading by Mrs. Russell Cook, and brief talk, appropriate to Alaska Day, by Mrs. R. R Hermann.
 An interesting and effective dec oratiye scheme with a Halloween motif was carried out in the table appointments, colorful bouquets o1 asters and chrysanthemums, inter spersed with jack-o'- lanterns and witches.
 Mrs. David Wood, chairman oi the Department of the American Home was in charge of the details and presided gracefully as toast mistress Assisting her were Mrs H. B. Humphrey, Mrs. George Le- veque and Mrs. Ray Ward.

Miner Almost Stakes Claim
 Right in City
Claim Jumpers Too Much for 'Prospector' Who
 Stakes Out Baranof

There's something about pros pecting and stalking claims that gets in the blood of he who follows the elusive gold trail, and it was aroused in the blood of MT. Gordon Runyon of Juneau last night as he looked up at a bright and starry sky of a perfect October evening.
 MT. Runyon saw "diggingS" so he decided to get in on the ground floor before the stampede followed. With stones, sticks and a mining claim sign, the miner" approached what he considered a claim It hap pened to be the diggings from the sewer connection being laid from the new Baranof Hotel to Front Street, but that didn't deter the aggressive prospector. He looked her over" carefully, finally selected the site for his monument" and proceeded to erect it, laying out for all and sundry to see that he had staked the property on which stands the new hotel.
 The job done, MT. Runyon turned to find an appreciative audience. But he didn't appreciate it when they threatened to jump" his claim, and decided to have the law on them"
 Arriving at the Imperial on Front Street, the stampeder put in call for an officer. Directly, Patrolman Kenneth Junge arrived on the scene.
 Elaborately, MT Runyon went in to details of his rights" and the efforts he had gone to in erecting his claim notices" Officer Junge listened patiently Then he decid- ed to put the "prospector" up for the night, and deposited him in the City Jail on a charge of drunken ness.
 Claim jumpers, by gosh,' moaned MT. Runyon as he dozed off into repose.

JACOBS SEES ONLY SUCCESS
 AT MATANUSKA
Former General Manager Sees Need for Turning
 More to Livestock

Leo B. JacopS, wno mas been with the Matanuska Valley Colony since its start and who recently resigned as General Manager, arrived in Ju- neau on the Alaska and plans to sail for the south on the North Sea, enroute to Washington, D. C., where he expects to be detailed to other PWA work.
 MT. Jacobs, as a representative of national relief setup, brought the first party to Matanuska three years ago and began clearing the ground and putting up shelters for the first colonists. He has been through the experiment" with the colonists ever since until he turned his duties over 70 Ross Sheely, who now heads the colony organization.
 "Matanuska is success and Will continue to be" said MT. Jacobs. T personally do not believe there is anything that can stop it now. If every but of government support was withdrawn tomorrow, the vast majority of the families there would make a go of it. The stickers have | learned to like the country; Alaska
 is their home, and they propose l to stay here in the north. There are about 160 families in the colony at the present time, he reported, or approximately 800 per sons, and each farm has at least Is acres cleared, some have more Since a year ago last September the colonists have been on their own in the main part, he explained through the new system which was then installed, and they are getting along for the most part nicely
 As the colonists get more live stock they will get along better MT. Jacobs believes. Tt is a natural | livestock country; particularly 3 dairy country" he said. Cows chickens and pigs are the thing. AS 1 they turn more and more to this endeavor their success, I believe will | be enhanced"

Fifth Christmas
 Seal Sale Plans
 Are Being Made
More than 4,000 Persons Examined for Tuber-
 culosis in Territory

This year the Alaska Tuberculosis Association will conduct it's fifth annual Christmas Seal Sale to raise funds for the campaign against tuberculosis.
 Last year Alaskans in PIT towns and villages scattered all over the Territory bought Christmas Seals and demonstrated that they were behind this effort to help in solv- ing Alaska's greatest public health problem. These seals are to be used not only on holiday mail, but throughout the year.
 Einar Holboell, a Danish postal clerk, originated the idea of the Christmas Seal and forty-three other countries around the globe have accepted it as a means of fund.- raising to finance tuberculosis work.
 In Alaska, Christmas Seal funds have been used to increase the tu- berculosis work of the Health De- partment so that now to date over 4.OO0 persons have been examined and X-rayed and over 5000 per- sons tuberculin tested. Portable K ray equipment has been provided so that this service can be extend- ed to the most remote parts of the Territory.
 Teaching material on tubercu- losis is being sent to the schools so that children can learn how this dis ease is being prevented and cured by modern methods.
 Harry Watson, President of the Alaska Tuberculosis Association, states that every effort will be made by those responsible for spending Christmas Seal Sale funds to use them in the most effective manner possible in order that tuberculosis may be steadily reduced in the Ter ritOry.

Four Young Men Talked Out Of
 Walk to States

Four young men between the ages of 25 and 30, recent arrivals in Juneau. without jobs or money decided today they would not ask relief they would walk (correcD back to the States, up the Taku River and through Canada.
 Juneauites, listening to this per haps courageous, perhaps foolhardy plan, talked them out of it.
 The four are Robert E. Murphy of Laredo, Texas; William Dreher of St. Cloud, Minnesota; Joseph Kurtzman, also of St. Cloud, and William Baker, of Los Angeles.
 All had worked at odd jobs in the wheat fields, plumbing, logging anything they could get ahold of when they listened too well to tales of that northern wonderland Hand of opportunity" Alaska, where young men were needed and where a young man might build future and swim in the rising tide oi frontier progress.
 They spent their money for steamer passage to Juneau. If anyone wants clean and pleas ant young men for watchmen al summer homes this winter anC perhaps odds and ends of work, ol better still for more permanent em- ployment, The Empire can locate these men on short notice. It would save these young fellows quite a walk.

PARENTS URGED TO COOPERATE
 WITH POLICE
Window Soapin g, Other Franks Must Stop, Chelf
 Dan Ralston Warns

Cooperation of parents was asked by Chief of Police Dan Ralston to- day in an effort to stop soaplng of windows and automobiles and general defacing of property which has been going on for the last several days.
 Halloween pranks are all right in their places" the Chief said, .but it isn't Halloween and it will not be for two weeks. It isn't fair that car owners, business houses and home owners should have their windows in mess every morning and have to go to effort and eX- pense to put them back in decent shape
 "If parents will advise their chil- dren it will help a lot. We don't want to be rough with the young sters but we cant permit this sort of thing to go on from now until Halloween and unless it is stopped we will put the offenders in jail
 My attention also has been call cd by auto owners to the fact that the air has been let out of their tires the last few nights. This, too, is in the same category as soaping windows. and it has to stop"
 Warning was issued through Superintendent A. B. Phillips to the school children today and Scout officials said they would take it up with their respective troops in an effort to see if Halloween pranks can not be confined to Hal loween which falls on october 31.
