HENRIETTA CROSMAN,

Did you ever know that r1ere was a

Henrietta Crosman until she chanced into
Lee Kugel's moving picture office IN
New York one day and read upon a
package on his desk the extraordinary
words Henrietta Crosman-sent from
Film Hospital" Miss Crosman's ques-
tions opened mp the subject and brought
some very interesting facts TO light.

cially as in this case Miss Crosman had
received Undue acclaim above her fellow
artists at the preceding showing
At any rate. the incident revealed ths
fact that films have hospitals to care for
them quite like human beings. Every
well-organized moving picture company,
as matter of fact. has just such a de-
partment, n regularly equipped Red Cross
station, where film casualties are turned
in and made as good as new again. Here
films are put in order. bathed. cleared,

MAY MAKE ALCOHOL
 IN FAIRBANKS

FAIRBANKS. sepE 2o.-Dr. A. w.. Baer. the physician who arrived in Fairbanks from the Outside last Spring. has evolved O plan for manu- facturing alcohol from native Alas kan potatoes. which ho thinks will eventually be the means ot solving the fuel problem in Alaska. He is now making further investigations along those lines and if they bear up his opinion on che subject, will probably put up a plant here solely for the manufacture Of fuel alcohol
 Part oi bis investigations consists of writing to the Department of Ag- riculture asking that officials render an opinion on the subject. He also has written Co the Department Of In- ternai Revenue asking that they give him some advice.
 Dr.. Baer first became interested in the fuel question of this part of Alas ka when he heard Of the enormous cost of fuel here And like an other progressive citizens of the Territory. be saw that if the industries of the Territory were to be developed, cheap CT fuel was needed He therefore made up his mind that he would try to solve the fuel problem.
 The next thing which came to the notice of Dr. Baer was that more potatoes are raised in the fields Of

NEW CREEKS IN THE

 FAIRBANKS. Sept. 3O-'Livengood Creek looks 1000 per cent potter than 1t did two months ago" said Jack Mir ich this morning upon his return from the Tolovana country. Mir. Nirich however has spent but very little time in the Tolovana country proper as he has been over in what he des- ignated as "The Promised Land"
 The "land' as he states, lies to the northeast Of Livengood creek and about 27 miles distant from that stream. It's creeks flow into Mike Hess creek and head in the divide the Mike Hess and the Beaver coun- try.
 The principal creeks in the Hand" are Grouse. Bear, Nirich and Moose. Mr. Nirich himself has been pros pecting on Nirich creek which he states carries good surface pros. pect No holes have been put to bed rock on any of the streams. but 1t is expected that they will be thor oughly prospected before long as @ great many Of the prospectors of Liv- engood are stampeding to them.

thls part of Alaska that can be pos slbly used here for ordinary eating purposes. He also saw that enough potatoes can be raised hero for al- most any purpose. and 1t was then that he thought of manufacturing ale cohol from them.
 The physician states that practical ly an of the alcohol used in the Ger man empire is manufactured from po- tatoes. He says that the experiment has been tried several times in the United States but has always failed for the reason that corn is just as easily secured and that twice as much alcohol can be obtained from the starchy contents of the kernels.
 However. corn is not oblaiuable In Alaska except at O great cost. Nor Is gasoline as cheap here as it is on the Outside Wood is high priced and coal. while obtainable. can be secured only by decree of the government
 pr. Baer thinks thank alcohol can be made to do the work of an other fuels and that it can be obtained much more cheaply from Alaskan po- tatoes. He has not yet examined or analysed the local potatoes but is Of the opinion that they win serve for manufacturing alcohol on large scale. He states. however. that he does not expect Go have to pay seven cents per pound for the raw product for # he gets the business of manu- facturing alcohol started. he will buy potatoes by the ton and will use all which can be raised in the vicinity of Fairbanks.
 Potatoes in this vicinity grow very politically as many as 20 tons per acre having been raised. If sold at seven cents per pound. the acre Of spuds would bring S2.S00.
 Dr. Baer thinks than any farmer should be glad to get $500 for an acre of spuds. particularly if he can sell his entire output to one concern. He therefore figures on very material reduction of the present price when he starts what may prove to be an other industry for interior Alaska. - Fairbanks News-BIiner.)
