 HIT IN FAIRBANKS

 As for KFAR itself, Cooper, who said he thought his new building across from City Hall, now nearing completion, was going to be the most modern structure in Alaska, but ad- mits Capt. Lathrop did wonderful job"
 Employees of the station have lux urious living quarters and just push buttons" for household accessories to appear out of hidden niches and nothing has been spared to make KFAR the most modern thing in the North.

The other day we discovered a
nice round hole in the plaster of the
bedroom wall behind the door to a
small boys room. 1t was virtually
a new room. And that hole in the
plaster marred its looks consider
ably. 1t needn't have happened if
somebody had had the foresight TO
realize that small boys tand girls
do fling doors open with gay aban-
don.
For there are sure-fre doorstops
which insure plaster walls against
just such flingings, and they are in
expensive, especially when compared
with cost of patching and repaint-
ing bedroom wall!
The doorstep We have in mind
consists of a steel foot, attached on
one end to the back of your door
about 3 to inches from the bottom.
This foot reaches out and presses a
rubber covered pad against the floor
when the door has opened far

When people come to see you in
the country during the summer, you
frequently have to invite them for
dinner in order to get them to your
out-of- -the-way abode while it is still
light enough for them to find their
way. Often 1t isn't convenient to
have dinner guests, but you'd like
to have people drop in later in the
evening. How can you guide them
to your home if they haven't been
there before, or are easily lost?
Rehectorized house numbers, which
look like little buttons OF glass, are
the answer.
There are new house-door signs
available made of special rejecting
glass imported from England, which
make your house number or your
name visible in the faintest light,
even in the light glancing sideways
from the headlights of car. The
glass is so made that it Is not de-
pendent upon direct light, but It's
many facets will turn bright If there
is no more than a street lamp half
a block away.
This specially constructed glass
has a mirror backing Numbers are
done in stencil lettering, the same
style of lettering as that on your
car license, each number being 4
inches high. The steel plate has
lugs at each end, so you can easily
fasten the plate to your door with
screws, 1t looks neat in the day
time and at night your friends can
see it as they drive up to the house
in the dark.
Number plates cost SO for five
numbers. and go cents additional
for extra numbers. Name plates

If You are in market for insect
screens this year, have you con-
sldered not being in the market
again for 10 or perhaps more years?
Have you thought about installing
permanent, all-year screens that
roll out of the way when not need
ed, just like window shades?
Rolling screens are not exactly
new. We know that one company
has been making and installing
them for 18 years But their style
today Is neW-pure bronze wire,
l8-mesh screen cloth in a narrow
metal frame finished with baked
enamel to match your window trim
And their application to both case
ment and sash windows is new. And
their prices, from 50 to SIS each,
depending on size and quantities or
dered, is new low for the particu-
lar company making these screens
The headache is extracted from
the problem of reScreening your
house when you order the roll-up
type. In the first place. you are
settling the question for long,
long time, not just the next two or
three years. Secondly, there is no
storage problem in the winter; the
screens stay at the windows, rolled
up. Third, the business of fitting
the screens in the windows or as
sembling the intricate mechanism
of the roller is eliminated.
The screens we have in mind come
completely assembled. That Job is
done in the factory. When you see
the screens they have been cut to
the right size, put together solidly,
finished in the color you ordered
and are ready for their union with
your windows. An entire house can
be screened in a day and the COM
pany which makes them sends their
own men to do the installing.
These rolling screens are made
only to order to the exact sizes. The
mesh is always in one piece and up
to 5 feet wide and feet long. they
can be used with standard frame
dimensions.
The screens are operated by con-
cealed flexible cables, perfectly bal
anced to give smooth and noiseless
operation without undue strain on
the wire netting
If you are doing your whole house
you'll be interested to note that you
can treat your fireplace to a metal
rolling screen at the same time!

Savings Associations
Realty Holdings al
Post-Depression Low
Trend Held Evidence
Of Better Conditions
In Finance Markets

Real estate owned by savings,
building and loan associa tions de-
clined per cent in 1888 to the
lowest volume since the depression
era. Statisticians of the Federal
Home Loan Bank Board, who COM
piled the figures, said the trend is
further evidence of much better
conditions in the home financing
and real estate markets.
The real estate account of all as
sociations aggredated Just about ST.
Oo0,0o0,000 at the close of 1888 and
constituted 1T per cent of total
resources of these institutions. The
percentage proportion was the lowest
since 1884. Properties held In this
account consisted chiefly of real
estate acquired through foreclosure,
with Office buildings used by the as
sociations for business purposes also
included
Board experts estimated that there
were 1894 associations in the United
States at the end of 1888. While
this is a new low number, the cut
was brought about to a considerable
extent through the consolda tions
and reorganiZations designed to
strengthen further the home
financing business of these mutual
organizations.
Total assets of all savings and
loan associations, on the other hand,
increased for the first time since
1880 and aggregated $5645, 900 900.
Total home mortgage loans held by
these associations increased for the
second successive year amounting to
$4,000 100000 and being 69,l per cent
of total assets.
Statistics upon which these figures
were based were obtained from an
nual reports of the State supervisors
of savings and loan ASSOCIATE
United States Building and Loan
League and data available to the II
Federal Home Loan Banks and con-
stitute preliminary study for 1898.
Final figures will not be available
for several months. Included in the
material were figures showing con-
siderable improvement in the busi-
ness of State-chartered thrift and
home-flnancing institutions, with
home mortgages held by them in
creasing in relation to assets.

Water Worries

BY PROF. J. ID. FLINT.
An archaeological expedition lost
Its way in a dry, burning desert and
became alarmed about finding a way
out of the area because of water
supply. The members had plenty.
providing they could locate them
selves soon enough. The supply was
ample for l3 days allowing each
member of the expedition one quart
per day. Suddenly tragedy befeil
them. On the fifth day, Just after
the days supply of water had been
doled out, one of the men stumbled
and spilled part of the remaining
supply. The unhappy man left the
camp that night feeling that since it
was his fault he would at least spare
the rest of the expedition his share
of the remaining water He was
later saved by natives of the terri
tory. In the meantime the expedi-
ton found that with the one man
gone the water would hold out as
originally planned, How much did
the man spill?

Here is one govern nent experiment which through the cxerci ise of determined American spirit of the kind that settled the West, will not be forever calling on the government for more and more aid. It will not be sub ject to the creeping paral- ysis of initiative that too ten grips those who are given help Without any sponsibility Of self help. If Matanuska can achieve economic independence in this short time, it will be due to it's leadership and the good sense of the colonists, for the government did not ask it to row it's own boat. Such comIi tments must come from the heart, inspired by an appreci- ation of all that is commendable in standing on one's own feet and refusing proffered help when it is not righteOusly needed.

Baseball Slump
lCleveland Plain Dealer)


 Major league baseball pretty clearly is in bad financial year. Unless there is sharp pickup in attendance this month and next, clubs which nor mally do moderately well will end the in the red while profits of the good will be sharply reduced
 In the American League the slump in interest is widely charged the strength of the Yankees whose lead is already commanding that the race down the stretch probably will again be for second place instead of first There is always the possibility that something will happen in baseball, but there is little likelihood that anything which happens to the Yan- kees will be serious enough to drop them out of tho top position. Their dizzy pace in the last month even with Joe DiA1aggio and Lou Gehrig on the bench is the tipoff to their real strength.
 The power of the Yankees may very well be factor in the low attendance figures of American League cities but it hardly explains the situation in the National League where the is close and where normally it is not finished until late Sep tember. Clearly, there must be something wrong in the major league baseball situation when the Brook lyn Dodgers outdraw the Giants, the Cubs and the Tigers.
 General business conditions hardly be the answer for they are somewhat better than they were year ago when attendance figures in most major league cities high It can hardly be the worlds fairs, for the vacation is only begin ming and even when it is in full swing the Yankees Giants and Dodgers should gain in home attendance a good deal of what other cities lose
 It has never been possible to determine with any accuracy to what extent and in what direction baseball attendance is affected by radio. The orig ina theory that broadcasting would create in- terest in the game through the week and bring out large crowds Saturdays Sundays and holidays. It is now the judgment of of the baseball execu- tives that the radio with it's good announcers gives such accurate picture of the game that many who formerly more or less regular game attendants are now content to sit by their radios at home One consideration is that they the time and ex- pense of attending the games.
 This latter consideration would to be un- important in the face of the governments effort to provide everyone with adequate purchasing power. But somehow pay days are as far apart for most of us ever, and pay envelopes about as thin.

HOUSEKEEPING IN A PALACE

writer for a British weekly classfies Buckng- ham Palace the best-run household in Britain has staff of 400 servants doing almost hundred different jobs, ranging from royal dressers and ward robe maids to canteen and postoffice girls.
 The average American householder might suppose that right now, with the King and Queen away visiting would be the very time for the whole staff to turn to and give the palace a good going over But apparently there regularly appointed seasons three times year for such jobs taking up all the carpets and taking down the thousands of curtainG for cleaning.
