LONDON COMPLAINED OF OLD
OF GENTLE STREAMS TRAFFIC
(By Associated Press)
LONDON, Apr. 29— London had its
traffic problems hundreds of years
before the automobile was ever thot
of. Old books set forth that, in the
beginning of the 17th century, traf
fic troubles were so acute that a
contemporary author wrote an arti
cle on the subject entitled: “Coach
and Sedan, Pleasantly Disputing for
Peace and Precedence.”
Incidentally, London was then de
scribed as a city of “fogge and rot
ten mistes,” suffering from traffic
congestion like “mutton pies in a
cooke’s oven.”
DETHRONED PRINCE AT A LOSS
WHERE TO EDUCATE HIS SONS
CBy Associated Press)
POTSDAM, Germany, Apr. 29.—
Wilhelm and Louis Ferdinand, sons
of the former crown prince of Ger
many, recently passed their high
school final examinations, and are
now ready to enter some university.
The sons of royal blood in other
days always went to the University
of Bonn. But today Bonn is in the
occupied area, and it is taken for
granted that no Hohenzollern will
venture into territory held by for
eign troops. Hence the question of
the university to be selected for
these young men still is open.

MUNSON’S ROADHOUSE
BURNED TO GROUND
Sometime between 2 and 3 o’clock
last Wednesday afternoon, says the
Valdez Miner, a fire started at Mun
son’s roadhouse which consumed the
entire building, leaving nothing but
a mass of ashes and debris. George
Hiller, owner of the roadhouse, and
his family and the people staying
there were notified -in time barely
to escape with their lives, without
trying to save anything from the
burning mass.
Mr. Hiller says that he believes
the fire started between the kitch
en and the engine room, when a
spark ignited some oakum in the
building. The loss is estimated at a
minimum of $20,000, with but $8,000
covered by insurance.
About 3 o’clock all were awakened
by the girl who woi'ks for Hiller and
who sleeps on the second floor, -when
she was heard screaming “fire.” Im
mediately they found the place in
smoke and flames, and it was with
considerable danger that Mr. Hiller
went back the second time to res
cue his little daughter and carry her
to safety.
No peronal effects, clothing or val
uables were saved.
Last summer and fall they spent
$5,000 in new furnishings and fit
tings for the roadhouse. Even now
they were making their plans for
parties. They hope to start rebuild
ing immediately.

CODE EXPERTS FORM POOLS
TO SOLVE X-WORD PUZZLES
OXFORD, Eng., Apr. 29.—The cross
word puzzle craze reached its zenith
last month and is now on the wane,
according to Oxford librarians. In
Oxford, as elsewhere, it more than
doubled the sales of dictionaries, and
the demands made upon reference li
braries were so great that one libra
rian threatened to shut up shop al
together.
The explanation given for the fail
ure of popular interest is that the
latter puzzles have become so dif
ficult, thru the increased experience
of their creators, that no ordinary
mortal can conveniently solve them.
Men who during the war had little
difficulty in deciphering the secret
and confidential codes of both the
enemy and the allies have organiz
ed ‘‘Pools of Intellect” and settled
down seriously to the solution of all
possible cross-words.
GERMAN SKYSCRAPER LACKS
HEIGHT, GRACE, SYMMETRY
COLOGNE, Germany, Apr. 29.—Co
logne soon will have the highest of
fice building on the continent of Eu
rope. Though it will be only 19
stories high, the German press
speaks of it as a sky scraper on the
American model,” and tourists trav
el across the city to view it.
The new building, however, bears
little resemblance to its American
counterparts. It is devoid of all or
nament, and rearer in heavy, red
brick. It is more like a forbidding “
medieval castle than the artistic
structures which make up the fam
ous sky-line of New York’s water
front. i

AN EMPIRE BUILDER
As all railroads in years gone by have been the greatest
contributing factors in development of the regions through
which they passed, so also is THE ALASKA RAILROAD each
day accomplishing much towards the building of an empire.
In place of the old, tremendously expensive and inconve
nient methods of transporting supplies of whatever character
over rough trails from the coast, there is now a modern rail
road that carries supplies and equipment in greater quantities
to and from the Interior, and along the way, In much less
time and at far less expense than was formerly required.
This great steel highway offering regular twice weekly
freight and passenger service between Seward, Anchorage
and Fairbanks; and tri-weekly mixed service over the
Ghickaloon and Chatanika branches, is at your service. For
further information write
