WASHINGTON, Nov. 13. - The .U. s. Secret Service is slowly tight ening the net of protection around President Roosevelt as America be- comes more and more involved in the tragic world situation.
 The latest development is the fingerprinting of all the hired help at every banquet or public gath ering the President attends.

Star ling, chief of the White House Se- cret Service detail, and his staff moved in to give the employees a thorough going over, including questioning and fingerprintmg.

MUSIC A COMMODITY

Music has been sold practically
by the yard in New York City for
some time, having been provided 10
hotels. restaurants and clubs over
private wire by Musak Corporation.
Now a new technique Is TO be en-
ployed. The wire system is aban-
doned and radio will be used-minus
the usual advertising hswkers'

A natural hazard to this strictly
merchandised project has been that
the music must be exclusive 10 only
those who pay for It. To guarantee
such protection a pig squesl' or

For most geographic locations

THIS PUBLICITY QUESTION

The Chamber of Commerce this week appointed committee to look into the adequate publi- cizng of Juneau and surrounding country.
 It was suggested that more stories, feature articles and pictures be sent down to the news papers and press associations in the states to get the name of Juneau and the wonders of Juneau district more in the public eye
 Now there's good publicity and bad publicity and just publicity.
 Probably the best jobs of publicizing any city or community have been done by native sons who went out into the wide world and made good Who, for instance had heard of Van Buren, Arkansas. before Bob Burns began to broadcast about his rea tives or about Waukegan, Illinois before the Jack Benny
 Other cities on the other hand try to cash in on publicity through the of some old gag like a beautiful baby contest bathing beauty compe tition, both, and the total result is usually a complete flop. Just think back. Can you remember the name of the last bathing beauty whose picture you saw in the papers, or even the name of her home town? Ten to one you can't.
 There are some communities, however, that have cashed in on real publicity without the help of any outstanding home town boy to go out and bazon their names the air or silver screen.
 For instance---thnk of New Orleans and you think of the Mardi Gras; mention Carlsbad, New Mexico, and you visualize the spectacular caverns in the earth there visited each year by thousands of tourists Sarasota in Florida finds its claim to prominence in the fact that the big Ringing Brothers -Barnum and Bailey Circus winters there
 Every of those cities has some event. indus try or natural phenomena which never fails to make good newspaper copy. Pictures from those cities are welcome the desks of editors because carni- uolyn akarc oian all colorfu subjects and good pictures of them help sell papers.

 dren and animals the two subjects with the most universal appeal.
 | That might give a clue to the type of pub licity with which Juneau is most likely to find a place in the pages of the press. Probably the most important thing to do is to find something which Juneau has more of than any other place, it can always maintain position of top prominence in that field. Then, if that subject happened to be related to either children or animals, SO much the better.
 Well-we might find lot of subjects on which good news copy could be written, right here in our own back yard. But the thing that immediately leaps to minds is-bears
 Yes sir right over on Admiralty Island just IA miles from Juneau, there more brown and griz- zy bears per square mile than in any other chunk of country the world over And if you don't think that pictures of bears-big bears, little bears bears with cubs and bears doing tricks-wil be welcomed by the pictorial editors of newspapers and magazines just send them few with appropriate captions.
 And in those captions can be featured some- thing that other community on the face of the globe can boast of. If people want to come to Ju- neau and make the trip out to Admiralty Island we can absolutely guarantee hunters shot at wild bear and cameramen a chance to take pictures of lots of bears.

 The reason, according to the reasoning of the Game Commission, is because the bear is the last of the big game animals that can still give the hunter fend the thrill of stalking game which. may suddenly make up its mind to strike back
 People go to Coney Island to get thrill out of riding the roller coaster, because there's an ee- ment of danger there and they might fall out" Game Commission, "and hunters get a thrill out of animal that may suddenly turn and become the hunter itself"
 There registered guides to be had Ad- miralty Island and observation towers have been built where the bears gather at stream banks to feed fish, enabling fans to take close up intimate shots of the big animals
 All in all, the tremendous bear population of Ad- miralty Island has a huge drawing power for the large majority of persons who still get thrill out of seeing wild animals in their native habitat Be- it is the most thickly populated bear country in the world and because tourists be guaranteed the sight of many bears the island should certainly rate of the greatest possibilities for good Ju- publicity and should be real source of Juneau tourist income.

Good Place to Train
(The Cleveland Plain Dealer)

CThe Cleveland Plain Dealer)
 Honorable Japanese diplomats sometimes fail to understand language of honorable president of United States about likee acts of aggressor nations Hon. orable Japanese officials say sorry when bombs fall accidentally on American gunboats in neutral waters.
 But there is one kind of language that the Jap anese admirals comprehend quite readily and that is the announcement that two American cruisers have arrived at Brisbane Australia
 The United States Navy Department said that the vessels, the Northampton and the Salt Lake City, were in Australian waters training cruise. Quite so We can think of no better place for American warships to go on training cruises at this time cept in the north Atlantic The presence of the two cruisers in the harbor of Brisbane will give the Japanese some much needed training in respecting American rights. If the Japanese fail to heed this warning perhaps target practice in the Gulf of Siam will be in order
