MEASURE SITE
 FOR BRIDGE ON
 GLACIER ROUTE

Preparations for opening up a road around Aux lake, connecting with the Glacier Highway being constructed by the bureau of public roads, forest service, are being pushed by the Alas ka road commission, according to a statement made at Juneau by Capt. c. s. Ward, disbursing officer of the commission. Capt. Ward made a trip last week to Mendenhall river where he measured the site for the proposed bridge across the upper stream.
 The bridge will be a 300-foot sus- pension span ard will be put in where the former bridge on the old Eagle river road was located. It is planned to erect the new structure next sum- mer or fall.
 The road leading up to glacier from the bridge across Duck creek has now been cleared of undergrowth and Instructions to width of 40 feet, ac- cording to Capt Ward. He also stat ed that as soon as the frost leaves the ground next spring the commits sion will put a grader on and the road from Duck creek bridge to the face of the glacier will be put in as good condition as the main highway and will be ready for the tourist traffic next summer
 "We are rapidly getting rid of our obsolete motor equipment in this vi cinity," stated Capt. Ward. we have recently sold a Ford and Saxon ma- chine. These will be replaced by a light Dodge delivery truck and a GMC automatic dump truck. With these vehicles it is expected that the main tenance work on local Alaska road commission roads will be greatly fa- cilitated."

HAUNTED BEDROOM ONE NIGHT ONLY AT
 EMPRESS THEATER

The story of "The Haunted Bed room" is one of mystery, suspense and thrills. There's a ghostly atmos- phere pervading the fine old southern home, and when Enid Bennett the plucky girl reporter, is sent down to unravel the mystery that has foiled the best detectives in the country, it requires a stout heart in her not to turn back.
 The house is barred to reporters, but through a piece of good luck she gains access. Enlisting the aid of an old darky, and as badly frightened as he, she starts an investigation that leads to hair-raising sensations and thrilling suspense.
 "The Haunted Bedroom" is splen- didly cast, and wonderfully photo. graphed. The charm of the mysteri- ous and unknown adds to it's fascin. ation, and combined with news reel, an interesting travelogue and a short comedy, it ranks high as good enter tainment. This forms the program for tonight only.
 Tomorrow. Thursday night only our local favorite, Charles Ray, will ap- pear in "The Sheriff's Son." The role is entirely different from any thing in which we have heretofore seen MT Ray.
 Not all the big battles are fought on the battle fields. The struggle of man to control himself is always an Inspiring theme, and in "The Sheriff's Son" the author has created a won derful story with an extraordinary leading character He takes a lad who has inherited great fear from his mother, and shows the fight to down that fear and win back his self respect and manhood. As Royal Beau dry, the boy in question, Charles Ray give wonderful character study, while Seena Owen plays opposite him most acceptably.
 Completing the program will be an entertaining education reel, and a two-reei Mack Sennett comedy, "The Ladies Tailor" full of the pep, ginger, jazz and spice for which Mack Sen nett, the comedy king, is famous.

A Tradition Shattered.

WV ITH old books, old pictures and old vines
w old violns have always been regarded as
superior to the product 1t has been an &C
cepted fact in the musical and lay worlds that
fiddle of glazing youthfuness is about as unworthy
of respect is that dread decoction which the
bootegger proffers with the remark that he knows
it has been seven years in the wood for he made
it himself"
So it comes as somewhat of shock to learn
through the Brooklyn Eagle that tests just made
at the Conservatoire of Paris to have shown
two modern volins better than famed Stradi-
varius one of the two leading the Strad by ninety
votes.
Music lovers" the Eagle goes on to say, will
doubt the accuracy of the test and imagine that the
outcome was put over by sort OF hocus
pocus. For many generations have we been
taught to believe in the superiority OF the old mas
ter fiddle makers that it seems impossible to most
of us that the moderns have at last overtaken Them
Yet the test as held by capable musicians seems
emnently fair. Six old and six modern violins
were numbered. Then the auditorium was dark
ened and an audience of musicians and critics was
asked to listen while an artist played the same
niece on the twelve instruments in succession The
violinist could not whether the instrument
handed to him old or new, so that he could
not be led even subconsciously to make better
tone on the violin of his choice. violin made in
Mirecourt had the largest vote, one in Nantes came
second and the Stradivarius third Two Gauda-
gnini violins came next and the sixth was an in
str,nnent from Montreal.
Surprising as that result is, there is nothing
impossible about it. The superiority of the old
vions was due to acute human intelligence. If the
moderns have at last equalled the makers OF 800
and 400 years ago. it is because knowledge has
grown with the growth of the race in this as in
other fields The fact that the acclaimed in
struments come from three different cities shows
that what was once thought secret has become so
widely known that there is no chance of any
scarcity of good volins those OF the old masters
disappear with time. But what becomes of the
widely held belief that the tone of an old violin
grows richer as great music is played on it from
generation to generation? That may be true Of
individual violins, as people hold that it is
with pianos on which only good music is played.
But if this test be true, instrument even so en-
riched can be equalled by modern makers"

Who Killed Cock Robin?

1T is said that Senator Smoot is wondering
/ who killed his cock-robin, in the form of
sales tax. This is not hard to tell 1t was put to
death before born by the and interests,
all over the country, who fathered it. They belong
to that larger and widely distributed class of the
pass-a1ong-th with the multiplication table.
The folks outside the circle are heartily tired
of that sort of tax which be passed to
them double treble quadruple.
The proposed sales tax theoretically
Objectionable. But it was distinctly a consumption
tax and power under heaven could keep its
addition to price being than the principal.
The people have been told and had sung to them
that surtaxes of excess-prohts paid by them
three and four times They have good reason
to know it and so have consented to their repeal.
Then cape this sales tax some form of
sales tax, approved by the final agencies
to whom they had paid the SURPRISES of these
other taxes. 1t is not surprising the response
through their representatives NAY, nay
Paulinev' They would have of it. Other
forms of taxation might be worse but had not
been so industriously advertised There was per-
haps a chance that of it would be collected
from them only once or that part would
be paid but once and that by the person against
whom it was originally assessed. 1t is one bless
ing of even nuisance taxes that those who pay
know the exact amount, pay it, and that is the end
of it. Maybe some day Senator will invent
tax so will have to pay; he will be the real
statesman.

ing and selling OF children's books shall be in any
way restricted to this time
All good books should circulate readily, by sale
and otherwise, throughout the year. A week set
aside for children's books however. is an oppor-
tunity for broadening the general thought about
children's reading. By special book exhibits, the
distribution of lists of books, and various other
kinds of advertising publishers and booksellers hope
to be helpful to those who interested IN en-
couraging intelligent and enjoyable reading
among children
Children should, of course be encouraged to
choose for themselves from the family library
books which they will like to read. One child may
choose animal stories, another the Arabian
Nights" another Kipling, Defoe's Captain Sim
gleton," child may enjoy all of these in due
course. 1t is usually better for child to have
access to number of inexpensive volumes in such
series as "Everyman's Library the Worlds
Classics" than to be limited to the formidable sub
scrpton sets of books that people have been told
they ought to have in their libraries. There no
reason why child should not be reasonably tree
to select its own reading from wel-chosen fam
lily collection of books.
The week has been observed at the Washing
ton Public Library, whose chidren's department
in its selection of books and its rarely intelligent
supervision, is quite model. The book display
has been only excellent, varied and interesting,
but carefully calculated to induce children to read
the worth while, to read with purpose and to
develop child judgment in the choice OF books as
to reading value.
