MEXICAN GIRLS BOBBING HAIR
MEXICO CITY, Nov. 16—In de
fiance of the passing of the fad in j
other parts of the world, bobbed!
hair is now so popular in Mexico i
City that among young girls long j
tresses are considered unusual. The
craze for short hair was started!
several months ago when a number ■
of young women who had been at
tending schools in the United States,
returned home. The idea became
popular and, overriding the old be
lief ..that only women of doubtful
morals wore their hair bobbed, il
was not long before the youngei
set of the capital adopted it unani
mously.
ELKS’ PLANS ELABORATE;
DANCE TO BE BIG AFFAIR
Plans for the decoration of Union
hall for the New Year’s dance to
be given by local Elks on the night
of December 30, were discussed at
a meeting of Bills held last night,
the attendance including the various
committeemen appointed at a pre
vious meeting and numerous others
of the lodgemen. It was decided to
make the decorations a distinguish
ing feature of the affair, and are
expected to be both original and
beautiful.
It was also decided at the meet
ing to make the dance strictly in
vitational and the work of prepar
ing the invitation list will be taken
in hand immediately. No one will be
admitted to the dance without an
invitation.
Another point agreed upon was
the use of programs at the dance.
These will be on a par with the
other details and will have a value
as souvenirs of the occasion.
The committee appointed to look
into the matter of forming a Bills’
club was not ready to report at
the meeting last night, but prom
ised to have definite plans to sub
mit at an early date.
The steamer Victoria, enroute to
Seward from Seattle, sailed for
the westward from Juneau yester
day afternoon, at 5:30.

DELINQUENT TAX LIST WILL
BE PUBLISHED NEAR FUTURE
The delinquent tax list of the
City of Nenana will be published
in accordance with the provisions of
the city ordinances, after which ap
plication will be made to the district
court for an order of sale. This de
cision was reached at the regular
meeting of the city council held on
Tuesday night, and the clerk is now
getting the list ready for publication.
At the next meeting of the coun
cil, action probably will be taken
in regard to the appointment of an
assessor to list the property liable
for taxation this year.
The meeting of the council was
a long one, but most of the time
was devoted to the consideration of
public utilities details, contained in
reports prepared by Superintendent
Henshaw.
The superintendent explained that
it had been found necessary to cut
off the street lights during the week
owing the the overload carried dur
ing the peak hours of the early
part of the night. The single unit
now in operation is not quite power
ful enough to carry the load without
risk. The second unit has been in
stalled and will be ready for use as
soon as the new switchboard can
be put in place and connected. This
work probably will take about a
week.
In other respects the plant is giv
ing excellent satisfaction, with all
departments working smoothly.
An ordinance creating the office
of superintendent of public utilities
and defining his duties, was given
a first reading and will be up for
discussion at the next regular met
ing. The ordinance gives permanence
to the position, which was created
by special action of the council
at the time the utilities were taken
over by the city.
The clerk read a reply from Col.
Mears to the request of the city
for the use of the old telephone
exchange building for the housing
of the fire apparatus of the city
and the Commission. It was suggest
ed in the reply that the city defray
the cost of remodeling the building
to house the equipment, and the
council has made a counter proposal
in which it agrees to pay for the re
modeling if the Commission will
pay its share for maintenance after
the change has been made. The
charge for heat and light would
amount to about $100 per month.
The committee to which was re
ferred the petition of the pupils of
Franklin K. Lane school, requesting
assistance in providing an ice rink
for the use of the children, reported
that no definite action had been
taken. Fire Chief Johnson, however,
who is a member of the committee,
is doing some figuring, and hopes to
be able to make use of some vacant
lots backs of the Cooney hotel. The
school reserve is considered too far
from the water main to attempt
the flooding of an area there.
It was called to the attention of
the council that the small daughter
of a recent arrival in town had
been refused admission to school
on the grounds that admission at
this time would retard the work of
the rest of the grade. After some
discussion, the clerk was instructed

CHURCH USED FOR SCHOOL
MOSCOW, Nov, 16—Moscow has
become so overcrowded that the
Soviet government has been making j
strenuous efforts to relieve the situ-!
ation by forcing some inhabitants to
move to nearby towns. The police j
plan to rid the city of thousands of |
men and women who might just as
well live elsewhere. A total of 35,
000 students have come into the
city, attracted by' the educational
opportunities offered, and there is
no place to put them. One of the
largest churches in Moscow has
been taken over to provide living
quarters. The government gives the
students a limited ration of black
bread. Foreign relief organizations
also will join in feeding them.
