Paderewski to tell the story of Jan and

added attraction of joined arms and legs.

In the first act of the play the heroine
leaps with a horse into river from
turning bridge. From then on thrills
cascade through the story. Those who
have seen say that 1t ushers In a new era
of film production-and a new era Of
belief in what a woman may dare.
The motto of today says Helen
Holmes, "is action. To one in the vortex
of a thrill-flled motion picture career
this fact comes with compelling force.
Mediocre plots and aimless stories have
given way to virile stories carrying

to selling rag and other dolls.
He has been driven to 1t by the
stress of war-although 1t must be said
the stress is not falling upon himself par
ticularly hard.
He and Nine Paderewski are carrying
these dolls about with Them wherever
they go on the great pianist's concert
tours and sell them for all they can get
to increase the Polish Relief Fund.
The dolls are made by group OF
Polish artists, war refugees in Paris. who
when the war struck Poland full blast
found themselves not only out Of en-
ployment in Paris but with no place to 60.
For the Poland that was exists today

1t before the war. They used to gather
in the studio Of q girl. Michaela, whose
spirit was quick, though the fire on her
hearth had burned itself to gray ashes.
One of her friends was Jedrek, the
sculptor with whom she used to play
back in Krakow. Don't sit there as help

shoulders, as typically Polish as 1t 10

too sweet and that nobody bought. When

her lovely ideas. she draped the easel
with something Oriental and useless and
bought a stock of blue clay and a table,
And she modelled things that everybody

Then Helen Holmes moved headquarters

bought a typewriter which she charged

And all the magazines sent her the

In the lobby of the Overland Hotel last evening two men who have al- ways supported Wickersham declar- ed that after the delegates action at Anchorage they were through with him. This is no diabolical attempt to knock the delegate. There were sev- eral witnesses and the two men are we'll known. It was stated at the time that when Wick's arrival was due the longshore gangs were chang ed and oldtimers put on.
 Dan Sutherland recently wrote to a Seward man but never mentioned the least word about his rumored candi- dacy for congress.
 Secretary of the Territory David son, is known to be opposed to the holding o,' Secretary ShOrti'll in the governors office but he demes having ever said anything against Governor Strong in connection with the matter.
 The Seattle Times recently said Senator Frank Aldrich would prob ably be candidate for nomination as delegate from Alaska. Frank became very ostentatious Democrat after Wilson's election. Before that he sup ported Gilmore. He is a good fellow at that
 Some of Wickersham's enemies now express the belief that he will try to be a candidate of the regular Republi cans but, failing that, he will run as a Republican, anyhow. They point out that he appears in the congressional directory now as a Republican and not as progressive.
 The chances are good, judging by exchanges and other means, that the next Territorial congressional race will have as entries Wickersham, Grigsby, Willard and socialist. The socialist may be expected to make the most of certain government rail- road matters.
 E. B. Collins, of Fairbanks, is be- ing mentioned more and more as a candidate for the governorship if the general election ends in Republican victory. After reading in the Gate way yesterday about the raid on the Irish World offices local men came to the conclusion that along with the loss of the German vote Wilson will now lose a great part of the Irish vote unless it is proven that the raid had a strong reason. Every indication that Wilson will lose, no matter how slight, strengthens the determination of Alaskan Republicans to go ahead. They are getting pretty "cOcky."
