on the Paclnc coast, ana the Iasl Woru in daylight passenger craft construct ion.
 Description of The Craft.
 The Railway and Marine News, of Seattle, the principal Pacific Coast transportation publication. In its June issue, contains the following concern. ing the Alma:
 "The .lma, the largest motor pas senger boat built at a Seattle yard and declared by experts to be the finest type constructed on the Pacific Coast, was successfully launched from the yards of Nilsen & Kelez on the East Waterway, Seattle, May 20.
 "Destined for service between Jun eau. Douglas. Treadwell and Thane, the Alma is a tribute to the growth of Alaska's capital and of her sister towns of Southeastern Alaska. Three years ago a 25-passenger boat was sufficient for this service. Last year a 65-foot passenger carrier, the Amy was built to meet demands of the growing traffic, and this year, with all facilities outgrown, the Juneau Ferry and Navigation Company placed the order for the Alma,
 "The Alma measures 9S feet in length. 19.6 feet in beam and 9 feet in depth, is larger than the recently launched Suquamish and, as the old City of Long Beach, now the City of Angeles, is being converted to steam, is the largest motor passenger boat on the Coast as far as can be deter mined from local records. She can carry 125 passengers inside cabins and another 125 outside.
 "As the Alma will ply back and forth across the open Gastineau Chan nel, staunchness was made the key note of her construction by Naval Architect L. E. Geary, who designed her and supervised the building. No expense has been spared in making her safe" in every way and she rep resents an investment of more than $SO,OOO.
 -Four watertight bulkheads, which make her practically unsuitable, are safety features of her construction. The forward collision bulkhead is of steel. Her fuel tanks are of steel in stead of galvanized iron. The engine room is floored with cement and wall ed with asbestos and sheets of gal yanized iron. All fuel pipes are car ried above the floor and danger from fire thus is reduced to a minimum.
 Equipment of the Alma includes the most modern of appliances. Two 15O b. D. Speedway engines will pro. pei her at speed of twelve knots. She has a steam heating and electric lighting plant, three-klowatt com pressor and pumping set in addition to a second generator connected to the engine to store the batteries while under way"

Stage Service

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 The son of an eminent tragedian, him. self an actor of some note. recently drew attention in a scholarly address to way in which the stage is regarded in this country, and thereby suggested compari- sons. The speaker Is an Englishman, an actor who takes his profession with the utmost seriousness. man who delights in the earliest and oldest traditions of the drama. He pointed out that the Eng fish stage has never lost the fostering influence and approval of those in high authority. In fact, the drama may be re- garded in England as an important branch of the public service. and a recognized factor of the national life of the English people. It's highest opponents, It's great actors, great dramatists and great pro- ducers are signally honored by the gov ernment Within few years a leading actor was given interment in Westmin. ster Abbey. the highest honor the English nation could pay his memory.

The little relic cost small fortune and was purchased by Prince Radziwill for his wife. Now her sis ter Gladys wants one but 1t cannot be got for love nor money.
