5.Day Physical
Training Urged

A five-day-a-week program OF
physical training in the public
schools was advocated last night by
Birch E. Bayh. director of the de-
partment of physical education OF
the District schools. in summary
of panel discussion on physical edu-
cation presented at meeting OF
the Women's Division of the District
Physical Education Association.
Mr.. Bayh pointed out, however,
that an increased physical educa-
ton program would necessitate ad-
ditional teachers and increased
gymnasium and playground facili-
ties, a problem which. he said, was
one for the administrators rather
than the physical education depart
ment of school.
Miss Augusta Kriener Of Wilson
Teachers College, chairman Of the
association, presided at the meeting,
held at the club house of the Amer
lean Association of University
Women. Among the speakers were
DR.. Chester Holmes, assistant su-
perintendent in charge Of junior

five-day-a-week program into the
discussion, and Mrs. Henry Grattan
Doyle. president of the Board of
Education, who spoke from the view
point of a parent. Mrs. Doyle
stressed the opportunity of the phy-
sical educator to instill habits of
health exercise in children which
would carry over after they left
school.
Other speakers included DR.. Ella
Oppenheimer. who spoke from the
standpoint of the physician, advo-
eating program that would fit the
needs of all students and urging
the teaching of relaxation as well
as exercise.

THIRTY EIGHT MEASURES ON

Representatives Pass Only Three Bills Before
 } O'Clock

Three measures went out of House files today to the Senate as Rep- resentatives stepped vigorously into a 38 measure long calendar.
 First measure passed, without any trouble, was House bill 193, requiring canners to bond shipments of fish and common carriers to receive affi- davit that the bond is placed or labor paid off, before taking shipments Outside.
 Labor Representatives said the measure is designed to protect can nery workmen and fishermen from packers who ship packs out without paying off crews.
 Second measure passed was House Joint Memorial 36, asking Congress sional support to Delegate Anthony J. Dimond's measure to give Alaska an increasing measure of home rule over the fisheries.

ed the old Stevens property, 45 miles from Ketchikan.
 Old Property
 A small mine there, first opened in 1902, was at the time of Good wins arrival, practically closed down and had apparently been overlooked as mining investment.
 Prospects of the property were, however, excellent in the minds of Bureau officials and acting on their advice MT. Goodwin brought in Out side capital and commenced real development of the mine.
 By the spring of 1888 the work was definitely underway, until now there are about 20 men working and a 12-ton mill is operating.
 Bureau Correct
 Stressing his enthusiasm and re- spect for the assistance and advice of the Territorial Bureau of Mines, MT. Goodwin declared, Without their intelligent intercession the property would now to all intents and purposes be laying practically idle. How good their judgment was may be attested by the fact that not only has my company conducted a sizeable building program on the site by running new tunnels, put ting up buildings, and erecting the stamp mill, but to confirm the &C., curate estimate of the government mining agency, we are going ahead

50L0N5 STILL DON'T WANT TO
 PAY OLD BILLS
Senators Kill Claims $ for Work Done on Terri
 forial Building

The 14th Territorial Legislature is in no mood to. pay miscellaneous claims which were rejected by the 18th Legislature, the Senate gave notice today by voting overwhelm- ingly to indefinitely postpone three measures which would have auth orized such payments.
 Despite spirited defense by Sena- tor Henry Roden of the validity Of such claims, Senators killed, in one two-t three order the following:
 Senate Bill No. 46, to appropriate $1 ,36351 to cover cost of installing a steam heating plant in the Ter ritorial Building.
 Senate Bill No. 76, to appropri- ate $479.79 to pay claim for stuc- coing of the Territorial Building.
 Senate Bill No. 90, to pay N Lester Troast and Associates $250 for engineering services on the Territorial Building.
 Insurance Bill
 Otherwise, todays session was highlighted by a heated argument over Senate Bill No. 54, by Roden, which would license insurance as sociations such as Lloyds to do bus mess in the Territory. Suggested amendments by Senator Victor C. Rivers were rejected, but later Sen ator Henry Roden gave notice of reconsideration of his vote on one of the amendments and the bill was continued in second reading until Monday.
 Several insurance agents were heard in opposition to the bill, and R. E. Robertson, local attorney, spoke in favor of it.
 Another insurance bill, setting the license fee for resident agents at

with expansion of work which in cludes the installation of a 35-ton mill within 90 days. This enlarged activity will necessitate employment of approximately 35 men"
 The mine president stated that two miles of road have been com pleted from the salt water landing in Carter's Bay towards the mine workings. Construction of this road was done through the cooperation of the Forest Service, the Bureau of Mines and the mining firm.
 Before leaving on the steamer North Coast last night for Ketchi- kan,. MT. Goodwin emphasized that Alaskan mining firms are fortunate in having the benefit of Junction. ing Bureau of Mines such as found here.

 Lending Employees
 Senate Bill No. 89, which would allow Territorial offices to inter- change employees for temporary work, brought on good-natured clash of ideas between Senators Roden, it's author, and o. D. Coch- ran.
 There are two hundred and some-odd bills that have been in- troduced in this Legislature, and this is one of the odd ones," Sen- ator Cochran declared, in lampoon- ing the measure as useless.
 Senator Roden retorued in simi- lar vein that the bill "of all the measures I've introduced this ses- sion, is the only one I'm really proud of"
 Finally the measure passed, seven to one.
