FIRST ICE APPEARS
 IN RoADsTEAD

The appearance of a wide belt of ice along the shore lin" in front Q. the dty Thursday morning. gave rise to Il repor' tn; the ice had cone in, mean
 ins. tt course, the Arctic ice which annually closes in this section of the
 Bering Sea coas. lina. It is said. how ever. that the ice in question is fresh
 water ice and not the salty pclar variety. It is apparently from the rivers along this section of tAe coast, most of which have shed their icy cov- erirg as result of the big, water created by the stormy wea ther of the past few days.
 Owing to a large amount of it. nan! are inclined to the view tha; |: came
 frcn the Yukon, as it is poirted out. | not without much coa son. that the ce
 content of all :he streams along this part of the coast would ha rdly be sufficient to cover suc. an extensive area as the mass in question. The Icy mass as it first appeared was about half q mile wide and apparently of considerable thickness. It eX
 tended along the coast e. st and west as far as vision could concern. Be-
 yond it the sea rolled heavily but failed to disturb the mass teyond a short distance from it's outer edge. The phenomena is new to the oldest messed a similar condition before.

RUSSIAN TRADING
 SCHOONER WRECKED

The three maSted auxiliary power trading schooner Avasl<a, owned and operated by the well known Nome- Siberian trading firm Karieff Bros, was wrecked on the Kamchatka coast some distance north of Petropavlosk during the later part of October, ac. cOrding to information reaching Nome recently. No details of the wreck have been received save that the schooner was a total loss. The Avaska spent a week or two in this port last sum mer. after coming here from Japan Via Anadyr and attracted much at tention owing to her somewhat novel build.
 At the time of being wrecked the schooner was on her way from Nome 10 Vladivostok via Anadyr. where the owners intended to have the power capacities considerably increased pre- paratory to using her in their widely extended trading operations on the Siberian coast
 The Avaska was said to have been the largest and finest schooner of the Siberian trading fleet. She was built in Japan and was finely constructed throughout. The vessel was purchas- ed from her former Japanese owners by .Karieff Bros last sprdng.

COUNCIL HOLDS
 REGULAR SESSION

Aside from refusal of the City dads to consider reduction in the amount of the property tax assessed against .he Miners Union Monday nights meeting of the Nome Common Council developed little business other than the usual routine work.
 The council was called to order by Mayor Rice around the usual hour, with four members present besides His Honor. Those present were Council men Cavey, I.omen. Maynard and Tar. nutzer. The absen. ones were Coun- cimen Raelson and Griffith. As the latter is Outside his presence was not expected.
 Following the reading and approval of the minutes, City Clerk Grimm pre- scented communication from the Mine Workers Union asking tha. the taxes on the building on Front Street oc- cupsed by the organization be reduced. The application appeared to surprise thc touiNli tIlt uulou hltu H1due no effort to secure a reduction on the property while the council was sitting as q board of equalization some few days ago. After some discussion the application was rejected and the clerk instructed to inform the union that it was too late 70 take action on it's ap- plication as the Board of Equalization had concluded it's labors several days ago.
 The next matter considered was T communication from the Fire Depart ment requisitioning certain supplies. This was granted.
 Mayor Rice next reported that he l had forwarded a telegram on behalf of the citizens of Nome to the War Department extending the congt., tula : tlons of Nome to the personnel of the Alaska Flying Squadron oyer the suc- { cessful completion of the great air flight from New York to Nome and re- turn.
 City Clerk Grimm and City creas. urer Polet next presented their Oc. tober reports on City finances. Fol lowing their reading. the reports were ordered placed on file.
 \ number of new bills against the city were then read by the clerk and referred to the Finance committee. As the departure of Councilman C:r.ffitS for the Outside had left the Finance Committee without a chairman Mav,r Rice remedied the difficulty by nam ing Councilman Tarnutzer to fill the vacancy. Thus provided with full ca pcity to act, the committee at once got to work on :he bills, recess De- ing taken for that purpose After se- curing the approval of the committee, the council ordered warrants drawn for all receiving the official O. K.
 City Treasurer Polet then addressed the council as member of the school board, requesting the council to au. thorize the publication of notices an- nouncing the boards contemplated or sanization of citizenship night. school. Mir. Polet explained that small amoun. of advertising was es sential but as the law granted no au- thority for payment of advertising the school board could incur no indebt- edneSs in that direction Tho r,ropos al met with counciImnnic approval and the board was granted authority to make the desired publications at the expense of the city.
 As a concluding episode. the coun- Gil granted an application of the SC col board by ordering a warrant dra- on the school fund for $415. 70 for the payment If curren. school mairten- ance expenses.

If Americans Would Study,
They'd Dance Beautifully,
Serge Oukrainsky Believes

Leonid AleXcvich Orlay de Karva. His
great -great-grandfather was Count
Orlay, Hungarian nobleman. Late
in the eighteenth century the old count,
enraged at the alliance of Hungary
and Austria, took the family wealth
and went to Russia.
Oukrainsky's grandfather was a
Russian general, Mikhail Mikhailo-
witch. His mothers father was mar
shall of the nobility of the state of
Kherson. The young dancer, who is
the last descendant of Count Orlay,
was born in his fathers castle, Kari
stovka. His father took him to Paris,
where he met Nine. Trouhanowa, the
lrst dancer of the Opera Rationale
She told him he had in him the max
ings of great dancer. He studied
under the most famous masters of Eu-
rope. making his debut at the Theatre
La Femina. He danced with Pavlova
in London and also over here. He has
arranged a number of ballets for her.
"Your fox trot is HORRIBLE" he de-
clared when asked what he thought
about popular dancing in America. at

it was too difficult, so people gave up

Americans want to do things in a

steps. Americans would dance beauti-

OuArainsky and Pavley think the
study OF dancing by itself is not enough
to make one good dancer. They think
travel and knowledge of history. art
and statuary are highly necessary. No
one can do Oriental or Grecian dancing

OF the atmosphere and historic back

come to us and expect to learn every
thing. about dancing inside of few
months. They ar Sc silv satisf' cd
once they have acquired some parrot
like facility, regardless of whether they
know anything about the technique or
not.
"rhe ballet dancer must have push
and originality And he must be un-
failinglly careful of his makeup. You
find often that if he is dancing in a
small place he takes less pains than he
would, say. in New York. This is a
great mistake. For his own self
esteem, II for nothing else, he should

Jews and Stage Door Chat for the Playgoer
Rita Weiman, Playwright,
Says Self-Reliant Woman /
Is Just as Quick to Flop

Rita Weiman, author Of "The Ac-
quittal," is the youngest woman IN
America to be writer of distinction
and have successful play on Broad
way at one and the same time. Her
stories and articles on the theater have
become widely known through "The
Saturday Evening Post"
1t all started in Philadelphia, where
Miss Weiman was born of Quaker
stock. Like many other girls, she
wanted to go on the stage. She has
classic features, striking figure and
a sense of humor. The first mentioned
attributes did not help her to land
part when she answered an ADVERTISE
mcnt for Society girls" who had never
been on the stage. But her sense of
humor saved the day when man at
the stage door said there were no So
ciety jobs, but he would give her a
"swell part" with tights in the chorus.
chorus and turned her attention to art
She found she could copy anything
but originate nothing. This was de-
pressing. She knew the creative talent
was there, but it had not found it's
proper outlet. So she went abroad for
a year and did Europe. When she came
back she began to write. She was very
young and quite ambitious. First she
did feature stories for "The Sunday
Herald" She tells with relish the story
of how she once interviewed the un-
approachable alienist, DR.. Allan McLane
Hamilton. He had vowed never to give
out an interview because he had once
been disastrcusly misquoted. She per-
suaded him to talk, however, and saved
his interview for the end Of her story.
vtn ~ M u a
physicians she had interviewed quoted
in full. They were accessible to any
one at any time. The article ran too
long, so DR.. Hamilton's interview was
cut to a few lines. This Miss Weiman
considers the most unfortunate episode
in her literary career.
Then she began to write fiction. The
impulse came from the vast interest
she conceived in a revamped version Of
the Roland B. Molineaux story at the
time of his death. What struck her
about it was that his wife stood by
him throughout his trial and then,
shortly after he was freed, divorced
him. This suggested itself to her as
decided to write the story first. The
result was Look Upon the Prisoner"
which she sold to "The Smart Set"
Later she wrote The Acquittal." 1t
was the same story in play form.
"My play is really based on the Mo
lineaux trial." she admitted, when in
terviewed at her home, l03 East Eighty
sixth Street. Nothing interests me
more than the psychology of woman
ky him through thick and thin at a
critical time and when the pressure
was lifted divorce him and marry an
other man struck me as having drama
tic possibilities. l wondered what the
motive was; whether he might have
been guilty and she knew it.
Life itself is more dramatic than
any play or story ever could be. l be-
lieve if we could tear down the walls
