Editor of the Washington Post, as
well as Mrs. Howe's translations of
her own songs. were printed in the

Interesting individually as these
different cycles we're, the styles
were too similar to be completely
effective in long program.
Debussy's group is a gem too sell
dom performed. Miss Talma. who
was present in the audience, is
known here through her piano
works and her vocal numbers show
equally notable inventive facul-
ties. Miss Holtzscheiter has includ-
ed some of the Howe group in other
programs but this is the first time
they were presented all together
and with the composer at the
piano. More variety entered into
the "Chansons Villageoises," all of
which bore the imprint of Pou-
lenc's individuality.
Both Mrs. Howe and Miss
Talma have fitted their music to
texts by French composers with
rare skill. The characteristics
that give particular atmosphere
to the style of Debussy and Pou-
lenc. and which are thoroughly
national, have been emulated by
these American composers. In
most cases, the flow of the music
is relieved only occasionally by
dramatic impulse. relying for the
greater part on a suave, emotional
elegance. The need for variety
was not taken into account in the
selection of the program. the idea
apparently being to present the
sets as they stand.
Miss Holtzscheiter gave a highly
understanding and polished per-
formance. The tonal uniformity
of her voice, however, does not
permit of the injection of color so
necessary to point up the music
with subtle effect. The French

retained in the form given them

New, Cheaper Method Used
To Produce Gunpowder
By the Associated Press

The Agriculture Department re-
ported today the development of
a new and cheaper method for
producing gunpowder for big guns.
The new method, as does the old,
uses guncotton, but it saves about
thirds of the time formerly
required. Guncotton is made from
the short fiber left on cottonseed
after ordinary removal of lint from
the seed.
1t also permits powder factories
to be smaller and thus less vulner-
able to air attack.
The method was developed by

the departments Southern re-
search laboratory at New Orleans.
The new method provides a more
satisfactory way of removing sui
phuric acid which often causes
guncotton to lose its explosive
power when stored for any length
of time, or which sometimes causes
it to explode prematurely, the
department said.

Blood Type Program
Gets Underway:
Typed

Twenty-Five persons appeared at
the blood type clinic at the Medi-
cal Building Thursday to have
their index fingers pricked for a
drop of blood.
Out of the 25, one person was
found who had Ri negative type
blood. Mrs. Carl Ling pointed out
that if a person with Ri positive
factor should give a TRANSMISSION to
a person with Ri negative factor
the result would be fatal.
Since it takes about three hours
time to make the necessary test, in
case of emergency it is imperative
that this information be available
in advance.
In addition there are four blood
types, O, A, B, and ABB, according
to the Landsteiner classification.
All like types may give or receive
transfusions, in addition to which
some types are classified as uni
versal donors or recipients.
When the blood tipping program
has been completed, all informa-
ton will be placed on file in the
Seward hospitals and in the offices
of local doctors. In this manner,
the people whose blood types are
on file will have a great advantage
where emergency t~ransfusions nre
needed, and transfusions are need
ed in a great many cases of illness,
accident or surgery.
The blood clinic will be open
every Thursday at the office of DR..
R. 0. Sellers. It's only a tiny pin
prick and a single drop of blood.

81 Bounty For
Eagles, Others
Are Increased

William Allen, local enforcement
agent for the Fish and Wildlife
Service, said Wednesday that a
bounty of two dollars has been
placed on all eagles killed within
the Territory of Alaska. 1t became
effective March %.
In order to collect the bounty it
is necessary to appear before the
United States Commissioner to
sign an affidavit. Then both feet
of the eagle must be placed in a
package along with the affidavit
and sent to the treasurer of the
Territory in Juneau.
The penalty for making false
claims is 500 fine and six months
in Jail for the first ~offense. The
second offense calls for a fine Of
$3.50 and a six months sentence.
$50 For Wolves
The bounty on wolves is now $50
and for coyotes $50. Since March
l, hair seals bring a bounty of six
dollars, where formerly it was only
four dollars.
Allen cautioned that the bounty
on hair seals does not include sea
lions, which are still protected as
a necessary part of the livelihood
of Alaskan natives.

Commissioners Office
Does Big Business

Mrs. Harry Southland, acting COM
missioner in Seward, reported that
a great many transactions in real
property have been recorded. Since
Feb. 4, thirty-eight deeds to real
estate have been brought in for
recording.
Besides that there have been a
number of minor civil cases and a
number of trials for misdemeanors.
In addition to recording of pro-
perty sales, all birth and death
and marriage certificates are re-
corded, as we'll as mortgages, con-
tracts, and many other important
documents such as armed service
discharges.
Mrs. Southland said the reason
that SO many property deeds are
recorded is that property has in
creased greatly in value of late
years in Seward. Now, when a man
purchases a plot of ground he
makes sure that the title is clear
and taxes paid and that there are
no debts or mortgages against it.
The days are gone when a mar
could buy a lot for $25, unless he
might get it at a tax sale.
When a deed is recorded, the
record remains in the Commission
er's office even though the ORR
ginal deed should become lost Or
DESTROYED.

Drive PiIing On
New Dock For
Standard Oil

Construction on the Standard Oil
Company's new 250-foot addition
to its dock has gotten underway
and some of the piling has been
driven.
The present dock is 100 feet long.
The new addition will bring it to
a total of $50 feet. The dock runs
parallel to the shore line and a
10O-foot ramp runs from the dock
to the warehouses on shore.
Earl Warren, well-known builder
from southeastern Alaska, is the
contractor on the job, but he is not
in Seward at the present time.
w. c. Erwin, manager of the
Standard Oil Company plant in
Seward, said that tankers dis
charging Oil at Seward are 500
feet or more in length. The new
dock is to be broader and stronger
at each end than in the center, so
that the tankers al turn as they
swing away from the dock.
New storage tank
Erwin announced that the COM
pany will also build a new 10000
barrel storage tank at the present
bulk plant here this summer. Work
is expected to start in about a
month.
This new storage tank will in
crease considerably the capacity
of the plant, which is already the
largest Oil distributing center in
the Territory of Alaska.
