Gently bedeviled and badgered by
the opponents of and proponents for
anti-rabidic vaccination, with the
canine and general press from coast
to coast carrying stories of rabies
and the fight against rabies, this
silence must be interpreted as sig
nificant.
Washington dogs that recently
have made show records include o.

Speckled Lady, which has gone to

consistently has placed in the nom

her as third in the group at Cincin-

Large Tubes Required in
 KINY sef-up

It will take more than 30 tubes to carry KINY's programs when the 1,0002watt transmitter goes on the air early in November. This will stablish Alaska's most dominant radio voice. ie t
 The tubes, so-called, represent an investment of over $2.0C0
 When we speak of radio tubes, said Harry Long of KINY, i've often think about the little glass or metal tubes which we use in our radio receiving sets. The new tubes which will go into the new KINY transmitter look like in- verted fruit jars, with horns at top and bottom. There are four of these modern transmitting tubes in this new 1940 transmitter MT. Kraft the construction engineer in charge of the installation, has in- dieated possible opening date of November G."

Manhattan Eliminates Rag Man, Umbrella Man. Or
 can Grinder, Push Carfs
By GEORGE TUCKER

NEW YORK, Oct 25-The old rag man, the umbrella man, the organ grinder with his monk, the push cart man-especially the pushcart hombre-like Horatic Alger heroes are being systematically driven from the streets. "Picturesque but a nuisance" is the way Commissioner of Markets Morgan sums them up And how are they a nuisance?
 "They disrupt traffic. They pay no city tax or sales tax. They buy no licenses. It isn't fair to rent payers and legitimate merchants to let these fellows wander through the street, peddling everything from spare automobile parts to shoestrings and cabbage W They've got to go.'
 It was Commissioner Morgan who sneered at public sentiment and rightly soAwhen the peddlers were driven from Paddy's Market some time ago. Paddy's Market for 50 years was the heaven of push carts, on Ninth Avenue between 38th and 42nd streets. There was an outcry when the market was finally closed, whefeupon Commis- sicner Morgan, dumbfounded, in quired: Don't these who weep sentimental tears for Paddy's Mar ket realize that it was the filthiest in the city? The pushcarts' violate the Open Air Divisions regulations. They cost the city half million dol lars year, picking up the trash they throw away"
 So 1889 is twilight for Manhat- tan's street criers. . One will miss the chestnut vendor, with his black, sooty, charcoal roaster, stand ing on bleak corners in winter One will miss him and all his tattered brethren who like everything else here, must give way to the inexorable law of Change.

It is perhaps no coincidence that
 Charles Atlas runs into himself every time he turns a corner. The man whose physique is said to be as nearly perfect as the human figure can be, has been sought after by sculptors in SC many climes that wherever he goes he discovers him. self standing in town squares, or in statuary halls, or adorning the face of buildings. He has posed so fre- quently for sculp6ors that as they say. he is a resident in effigy in virtually every state in the Union.
 That statute of an early, great American in Washington has Alex ander Hamilton's head, but Atlas body. In Jefferson City, Mo, he is a Centaur In New York he is George Washington in stone He even graces the battle fields of France being the dominant figure in the Marne Memorial Today you see him here and there about the town, seemingly as graceful and 1.-the at 46 as he ever was. He has a job, a career, that of persuading
 thousands of others everywhere to accept the benefits of sensible physical culture Atlas still recalls his embarrassment at being under sized and sickly at IT. Being sickly is dumb, he says, because, 99 times out of a hundred, it isn't necessary.

 The Nome Kennel Club spon- sors this race and promises plen ty of excitement for all spectat- ors. The start will be in front of the Nome School and the course will be as follows: The trail will follow the Little Creek road to the three mile post, across the tundra to No. dredge. then fol- lows the road into Little Creek and turns on to the winter trail to town. There will be no bur denS.
 All entrants are requested to register at the Nevada Grill by pm. Friday afternoon at which time places will be drawn.
 Great enthusiasm has marked both races so far.

It is also a perfect subject for amateur pho- tographers. Excellent weather has added to the enjoyment of the past races. It is hoped that everyone will be present Satur- day 10 cheer on their favorites.

Anchorage Elects Queen Margaret
HAIL QUEEN OF RENDEZVOUS
Margaret Abercrombie Wins In
 EleventhHour Squirt; Queen And Ladies Purchase Gowns

Following is a detailed ac- count of the election of a Queen of the Anchorage Fur Rendez- vous from the Anchorage Week ly Times of February IT.
 Mary Margaret Mickey" Aber crombie, 18-year-old daughter of MT. and Mrs. Harry Abercrom- bic. went to school today with the title Her Royal Highness," after winning the race for Queen of the Fur Rendezvous in the final tabulation last night.
 Mickey had 1,903,00O votes and was more than a half million ahead of the nearest contestant.
 A scream of delight and big hug with her mother marked Mickey's notification that she had been elected Queen. Clyde R. FL lis. Rendezvous manager, tele- phoned the news immediately af- ter the final tabulation at 6 pm. last night.
 We were too tired to do much celebrating last night Mrs. Abercrombie said today. They had gathered in well over a mil lion votes the last day of the contest.
 Mickey's race ended with a spectacular spurt of votes in her favor. A large batch of votes ar rived during the afternoon by airplane from Fairbanks where her two uncles conducted an act i've campaign in the sale of tick cts.
 The Queen and her ladies in waiting are scheduled to make a royal shopping tour this after noon for the purchase of evening dresses to be worn at the color ful coronation ceremony next Saturday night.
 Miss Georgia Ball, in charge of the coronation, and Mrs. A. s. Walkowski, sponsor of the Queen, were to participate in the selections. Six other girls, who ran high in the race. will also select gowns as attendants to the Queen.
 Mrs. Ball said the gowns will be chiffon and moire in pastel shades. There will be evening hats to match.
 Mickey missed only a half day of school during her vigorous campaign for votes. Mrs. Aber- crombie was especially active and friends say she was largely responsible for the success.
 Mickey is a real Alaska pro- duct, having never been outside of the territory. She was born in Fairbanks in 1921 and came to Anchorage with her parents when IS months old. She is now a member of the High School senior class.
 The Queen is five feet eight and one-half inches tall, weighs 40 pounds. has blue eyes and dark hair She is "a decided bru- nette. She likes to dance, read good novels, and engages in out door sports. She has been work ing at Hewitt's so her recreation al activities have been limited this winter.
 Prominent among her favorite sports are skating. skiing, and swimming. She is an officer of the Rainbow Girls.
 When Mickey goes to Fair banks it will be her first visit to her birthplace in six years. Mrs. Abercrombie will accom- pany her and will renew many old acquaintances.
 Pat O'Connor. deputy marshal at Fairbanks. one of the two uncles who wired to Anchorage for tickets so they could parti- cipate in the campaign, will ar rive here on the train tomorrow. The other uncle, Joe O'Connor of the Pioneer Hotel. will be un able to attend the Rendezvous.

F.D.R. PROGRAM

Like all these, Franklin Roosevelt has introduced new principles and new ideas. He's written a new labor law. He's recognized relief of the unemployed as an obligation of government. And he's introduced the principle of social security.
 Some of these ideas, and the New Deals methods of carrying them out are under heavy fire, with only a year or so to go. If Con gross keeps on getting rebel mo- tions, the fire will grow heavier, as the end of the second term draws near.
 If Franklin Roosevelt is anything at all like his predecessors with a program and a purpose, he's going to fight to make his New Deal stick.
 The natural weapon to use would be control over the next Democrat ic convention. If he has that con trol he can make the Democratic party take whatever disciple he may choose-or take himself again
