one wedding in a lifetime was suf ficient for him.
 7 Twenty-seven members turnet out Wednesday evening for a meet. ing of the Chamber of Commerce the first in several weeks. Tn, meeting. which was started with z turkey dinner served in the larg, private dining room of the Skagwa, Grill, presided over by President c L. Policy. Among important item. discussed were the Transportation problems of the sanatorium em. ployees. It was agreed that 2 meeting of local merchants and the Alaska Tranfer Go. would be held and some solution reached. The matter of speeding airmail to An chorage was reported upon by Post master McGuare, who stated this matter had been settled by air plane service direct from White horse to Anchorage, instead of the former roundabout way which often took ten days; the Chamber went on record as being against the discriminatory and restrictive clauses in the Jones Act as applied to Alaska. A copy of the Chamb- CTS resolution is also to be sent to the Alaska Legislature which will soon convene. The uncooperative attitude of the Juneau Chamber of Commerce as regards a highway between Juneau and Skagway came up for lot of criticism, as Skag- way feels that only through the cooperation of the Alaskan towns affected can such a road be se- cured. A letter from Royal Pull len who visited here this summer was read by Mary Pullen, in which he stated that he had called on the Bureau of Public Roads in Port land, and that office felt that the periodic strangulation of the Terri tory by maritime strikes could be avoided only by the various towns hooking up with the Alcan High way and that could be secured much sooner by a united effort toward that goal.
 Mrs. Edith Larson, Mrs. Hal Johnston and Miss Mary Pullen were asked to serve as a commit tee to gather old pictures of the Days of '98 for a the Alaska De- velopment Board for the picture of Alaska to be made in Hollywood. There are numerous wonderful old pictures here which the owners are rightly reluctant to let go of, and 1t is proposed that copies of these be made. These committee mem bers are old timers in Skagway and should be able to gather fine collection. Mention was made of the wonderful museum belonging to the Pullen House This collec-
 ion of early day relics is the most authentic and largest in the Terri yory and is priceless.

the TB sanatorium the representa- tive from that group stated that they had no criticism whatsoever of the service being furnished now except that the employees felt that they could not afford the price. Several plans in the form of sub- sides for the taxi company have been advanced and it is expected that one of these will prove to be acceptable to all parties concerned.
 It was also suggested that all local merchants be invited to at tend the next meeting as guests of the Chamber and see if it wouldn't be possible to get them interested in that civic body.
 The nurses at the TB sanatorium were at home to their friends last Sunday afternoon in their quart CTS. Delicious refreshments were served to the guests.
 A fire alarm at midnight Mon day called the volunteer depart ment out to combat fire in an old shack where flames were shooting high into the air. The depart ment was there in about three minutes and soon had the blaze under control. It is reported that there was evidence that the fire had been set. This is the second old shack to burst into flames dur ing the night in six weeks time. The council was still in session and one of the matters up for dis cussion that evening was the old shacks which are such an eye sore to the town.

suspicion Washington has elim-
mated the comedy from It's baseball

Mats have been horrible, but remain
only two games OF the pace. all Of
which constitutes an encouraging
note.
Washington Is better club than

the 14-5 walloping absorbed hero

Louis Browns may be attributed as
one of those things. The Mats
haven't clicked, still they remain In

Pauline Befz Now Pro,
Plans Big Net Tour,
Her Mother Says
BY the Associated Press

LOS ANGELES, May 2.-Pauline
Betz. queen Of United States anna
teur tennis, has decided to turn pro-
fessional, according to her mother
who may have let the cat out of the
net a little prematurely.
Comely Pauline, who aroused the
ire and drew suspension from the
sedate United States Lawn Tennis
Association three weeks ago when
news drifted around that she was
overly curious about the pay for
play game, will open her profess
sional tour this month, Mrs. Stella
Betz disclosed last night.
Mrs. Betz's revelation was timed,
perhaps not perfectly, with an in
vitation in New York stating that
her daughter and the professional
tour stemwinders, Elwood and Sarah
Palfrey Cooke, would hold a press
conference there Monday and have
an announcement to make, presum-
ably about Miss Betz's plans. Mrs.
Cooke also was suspended.
Holcomb Ward, president of the
USLTA, also was invited, but the
notice didn't say whether Mr.. Ward
had accepted. Ward was the official
who announced Pauline's suspen-
sion. It was based on a circular
letter sent by Cooke to tennis clubs
around the country offering the
services of Pauline and Mrs. Cooke
for a purported $3.50 per engage
ment.
"I received a telegram from
Pauline saying she would play in
Los Angeles June I and 8 at the
Beverly Wiltshire Hotel" confided
Mrs. Betz, physical education in
structor In local high school. "She
said they were going to open Their
tour May 18 somewhere down
| South"
