ACTION AT LAST.

There is ray of hope for Alaska in the statement made yesterday by Secretary of the Interior John Bar. ton Payne, relative to the plans for accelerating Alaskan development Secretary Payne, although compara- lively new in office. has demonstrat- ed that he is man of action, rath- CT than promises. and we feel quite sure something will come of the in vestigation conducted by MT. Payne's committee. It will not be shelved as have been so many special in. vestigations of the past, and what ever action is taken by the secre- tary to inaugurate his program will help Alaska. It would scarcely be possible for him to do anything that would make conditions worse.
 The News believes in the devel opment board plan for the regula- tion of federal interests in Alaska. and the appointment of an inter- departmental committee to start the reform going, pending the creation of regularly authorized develop ment board, seems like good plan. The only suggestion that we have to make is that the salaries of the members of the development board be made sufficiently attractive to enable the President to secure capa- ble men to do the work that will be required of them. The very best men obtainable will be none too good to serve as members of our de- velopment board. In fact, the sue cess of the development board plan will depend chiefly upon the person. nel of the board.
 But that is a detail that nrob- ably will receive attention when the proper time comes. Of greater i'm terest to Alaskans at this time is the, announcement, contained in yester days dispatches to The News, that Alaska's needs are receiving atten- ton at Washington and that relief will be forthcoming shortly.

PLAYING THE GAME.

Chains of heredity are strong, and difficult to break. Man is a creature of habit He does many things because other people have done them. Perhaps you are Methodist. If so, it is probably be- cause your forefathers were. You vote the Democratic or Republican ticket for the same reason. The same newspaper that your father read for years, you read It is much easier to do thing the same way other people have done it than to think out new and, perhaps, better way for yourself.
 At one of the doors of the Tower of London, writes the editor of Ford's Dearborn Independent, a sen. try used to be posted. Day and night that door was guarded. Once an American wondered why, and in- Quired. It seems that century or two ago, a prisoner escaped through that door, which was not then guarded. After that, a guard was always posted there. The custom was handed down through the years, and although no prisoner had been kept in the Tower for a long time. the sentry still guarded the door.
 It Is the same way in work or play. A game is always played by rules. Some of them are good, some foolish it sometimes seems. But it makes no difference; no one has ever taken the trouble to make new and better rules.
 The workman, or mechanic, or clerk will do a certain piece of work in certain way Not because 1t is the best way in which it can be done, but because it has always been done that way.
 No progress was ever made with out breaking some of the rules of the game. The man who does his work by rule of thumb never gets anywhere. The man who uses his head is the man who makes a suc- cess of whatever he undertakes. When given some work to do, he says, "This is pretty good way to do it, but maybe if I think little, I can find better way" In think ing for yourself lies the road to success. Initiative is a long word, but if brought down to it's root it can be translated as "Think for yourself. Be original. Start some thingp
 Never mind if people gasp and shake their heads ominously, and hold up their hands in horror and say, "He isn't doing that according to rule. The way his father did it ought to be good enough for him."
 Fame may not come to you.

June Caprice

1T UNE CAPRICE looks just like her name sounds-prettyl
 More than that, June Caprice has a little way with her that would just make you know her name would be June" because she's so airy and sweet and unaffected and fresh and young and everything that reminds you of June-the most beautiful month of all the year.
 And such a busy little person as was this little golden haired, blue-eyed baby doll" creature on Monday, when l met herl
 l l almost felt sorry for her. she was so popular.
 Newspaper people were waiting on every side for the little celebrity and admirers we're sending her notes and flowers and the "city commissioners" were all "dolled up," awaiting her visit to their august offices, and in the mean l time, girl-like, what do you suppose little Miss June Caprice was doing? She "chucked" just about half the f engagements that were waiting for her and quietly stole away to her apart ment at the Tutwiler and had the manicure lady and the shampoo lady and a whole lot of other people who know how to make you pretty (they make her prettier, because she's al- ready pretty), all just running their heels off to get her ready for her pre- mier bow to Birmingham at S:30 Mon- day afternoon.
 | When I called her over the phone,
 the sweetest sort of little baby-ish voice said:
 Yes, of course, you may come to see me at 2 o'clock if you don't mind see l ing me with my hair down and having
 it shampooed and I've got to be man.

 ] Don't mind a bit, and I'll be there," I shouted and there I was on the stroke of the clock, for I'm nothing if not prompt.
 Into little Miss June Carpice's bou- l doir I walked and a prettier sight I never beheld. All fluffy In pale pink and lack looking togs, she was wearing
 a tinw little rosebud sort of an affair
 which fastened the beautiful blonde refractory curls into place, she pre-
 sented as lovely a picture as I've ever seen.
 Little Miss June Caprice looks ex-
 actly like she looks in her pictures, only prettier. because in the pictures 1 you can't see the shell pink skin and the blue eyes and the adorable color
 of the curls and all that makes her so
 much prettier.
 You know. never was an actress"

The reason I'm telling you this is because l really have stage fright terribly doing this stunt I'm doing now; l never acted before an audience in all my life; l was just little social welfare worker in Bos- ton, where I live, and one day they were looking for somebody that resem- bled Mary Pickford, and they found me.
