cheers of thousands of their proud
subjects.

up at the pier early this afternoon
The two children of the King and

Margaret Rose, 8, who earlier re-

were on the bridge Juggling In ex-

Children May Come
1t is reported that the King and
Queen, delighted b eyond measure
with their visit to Canada and the
United States, are considering q
similar trip for the two little prin-
cesses. Although the dates and
details are necessarily vague, the
trip is envisioned for the not too
distant future.
Princess Elizabeth, who recently
celebrated her thirteenth birthday,
must do extensive travelling before
she becomes of age at Is and be-
comes an integral part of the state
picture instead of petted and
adored member of the Royal Family,
as at present. To date the little
princesses's travels have been linn
tied to England and Scotland. Not
even the future Queen has crossed
so much as the English channel.
Trip To Dominion
Now the King and Queen are
planning. for the future queen, a
trip to the Dominion.
Such trip would be by no means
royal tour" with the panoply

WAR COSTS ALREADY

The war that hasn't started in
Europe is already piling up war
costs in the United States. The
State Department has informed Con-
gress that cable tolls after Munich
ran $4,000 over the budget.
1t has also informed Congress
that it has one typewriter 81 years
old and a hundred or more which
are beyond 16 years old, all of
which it would like changed so it
could be little more up to date in
its method of writing diplomatic
messages.
And we can't overlook the air
conditioning system installed in the
legation at Bagdad which must
be mighty popular now, what with
desert winds blowing hot the way
they do. Incidentally, it is the only

CHANGE TO VOTE
Recommends Proposal for
Pacific Standard Go
on Next Ballot

A recommendation to the City
Council that the question of turning
the clocks of Juneau permanently
to Pacific Coast Standard time be
placed on the ballot at the next
city election was passed unani-
mously by the Chamber of Com
merce tnda;-.
Proposal that a vote should be
taken on the plan was made by a
special Chamber committee which
reported that it favored the change
in time to that in effect at Ketchi-
kan, Seattle and other cities of the
Pacific Coast.
The committee, headed by Curtis
Shattuck, listed as arguments In
favor of the plan that it would give
an extra hour of daylight in the
evenings for recreation in the sum-
mer, would allow an extra hour OF
the day for communication with
Ketchikan or Seattle business
houses, would simplify life for radio
fans by having programs come in
at the times they are scheduled in
directories and would do away with
confusion caused at present by Can
adian steamers running on ship
time" which is one hour ahead OF
Juneau time.
Pro and Con
Only arguments brought forward
in opposition to the plan, the COM
mittee reported, were that it would
make tide tables an hour off for
the first season it is in effect (these
could be changed in the following
year, as they were for Ketchikan)
and would interfere with one of the
Alaska Juneau mine shifts. The
committee reported it had inter-

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-Bonds
slipped lower by fractions in a
meager market today.
Transfers were recorded at rate

Traders were assumed to be
awaiting developments in Washing

observers of the Wall Street scene
believed that passage of the amend

since been discounted as assured
and the actual legislation would
have 3ittle or no effect on bond
prices.
U. S. Governments moved narrow
ly over an uneven range, with prices
advancing as much as 1a point in
