Alaska Motion Pictures Made
 In California

Yosemite, Cal, Oct. IS.-Motion picture companies always welcome to Yosemite National Park, find win i ter conditions here admirably suited for pictures of life in Alaska and other parts of the Far North.
 One company lasJ winter wanted real ice Hoes on a real like, with a snow background, and their wish was granted at Mirror Lake, where some ice was chopped loose and lowed across the lake to give a drift ling effect.
 A complete Alaskan dog team spent several weeks here last winter and one company brought a wolf. Motion picture companies may bring dogs and firearms into the park for use in their work. although the gen .eral public is barred from doing so.
 A stirring experience was had by one company. which came in here for a winter picture. The company wanted snow scenes in the high country, so the actors and actresses started to hike across the floor of the valley, where their hotel was To- cated, up the cliffs to Glacier Point, &,254 feet high. A storm came Up and the company would have been lost without Forrest S. Townsloy, chief ranger. Some of the company were out nearly IS hours in covering the II miles of trail ard TownsIey said the leading lady crawled on her hands and knees for the last two miles.
 Despite the hardghips, the indom- itable director saw his chance, how ever. and filmed the scenes. Mo ton picture men say the pictures of that trip were among the finest win ter pictures ever made.
 Summer scenes are made by the dozen here, where companies find, Alpine meadows, wooded stretches of pine and fir, cascades in the Merced River, pools where refec- tiOns are like a mirror, roads broad and smooth or narrow and pitching as the route to some old western mining town, picturesque bridges and trails which cling to the edges of the cliffs.

Radio Plant at Eagle Will Be
 Ready Soon JACK BILLIARD TELLS OF WORK BEING DONE FOR WIRE
 LESS SERVICE WILL HAVE BUNCH TRAINED FOR USE OF STRANDED
 AVIATORS

Jack HGlard, U. s. customs cOllec- tor at Eagle, who is stopping in town brought news of the new radio plant at Eagle which is in course of e-ec- ton, and promises to be completed in a short time. It likely will be working this mcnth.
 The radio station is being built for the United States government and it will connect with other sta tions in Alaska Frank Swanson has charge of the work of erecting the two poles for the aatenna.
 The equipment for the station ar- rived on the Alaska. The new opera tor is at Eagle.
 Jack Hiuard also says that he iu- tends to introduce fire breed of carrier pigeons next summer for service in the North, especially for stranded aviatCrs. He took a rougbneck breed from Dawson to | Eagle and had them wandering about Aviator Prests airplane last Juiy, but never thought to stow one away in the plane for Prests use in case of accident. If he had done so, word would have been back in Eagle ten minutes after the aviator was com- pelIed to make a forced landing.
 One of Jacks pigeons was taken out by the Eagle search party, and was back in Eagle with the news that Prest was sate a few minutes after the search party met him.
 Mr. Hiuard believes that carrier | pigeons will do we'll in the North and prove of excellent service in many ways. But 1t is necessary, he says, to get them used to the coun. try before letting them out on long flights. Give them practice, take them out into the wilds, not too far out to start with. but increasing the distance, and soon they will know the country and be able to make long trips.

SO people seem to think-to tedious detail.
 But, somehow, I never could see much difference between the drud- gery os shop-keeping or carbentering or shoeiag the horse or mending au 0mobile tires or adding figures in ledger, all day long. The aver age man does his day's work be- cause he needs the money, not be- cause he has a thrilling time 1o- ing it.
 Why should the average woman look at her days work in tine same rational way, sensible, matter-ot-fact way? If she did, believe she d get lot more fun out of 1t.
 And then there Is a lot of pleas ure in home-making and h ,ine keep ing and really natural woman real fly likes to be woman--and would not know what on earth to do with herself if she should suddenly have to turn into a man. with mans work and Q mans responsibilities and a mans somewhat dull percep- tions, to bear and make the best of it.
 Of course, no man in his senses would change places with a woman,
 But I don't believe that any sen sible woman who is also natural, well-balanced woman, ever really wants to change places with man either-when you come right down to it.
 A boy or a girl-if I had my choice, I'd choose them both. There are still such things in existence as twins, aren't there?

Labor Situation
 On The Improve

The chief development of the cur rent month has been the improve meut in the labor situation. The amount of voluntary unemployment has been greatly reduced and wages have shown a distinct upward ten deucy. Mining output increased about 8 per cent during August and has shown a tremendous expansion duriug September, due 10 the reop- eutug og most Of the biJuminOus and anthracite coal mines. The general pr.ce level has remained constant dur.ug the month. The August in dex number Of the Federal Reserve Board was the same as that for July,
 Manufacturing was slightly cur tailed iu August but has recovered during September. Iron furnaces and steel mills are increasing their rate of production to satisfy the Contin- ued large demand Of railroads and automobile companies. Cotton mills and knit goods factories have in creased their output, woOleR machiR- cry is slightly more active, and Au- gust silk consumption was the lRrg- est for any month since 1919. The continued building activity has re- suited in au improved demand for lumber. cement and other building materials.
 The average condition of farm crops decliued somewhat during Au- gust. The cotton crop has suffered severe damage from boil weeYils and from drought. The estimates of the corn crop have been much reduced but the prospects for spring wheat have considerably improved.
 Wholesale trade improved sub stanuaIly during August district re- porting lines. Every district report ed increases in dry goods sales which averaged almost 50 per cent higher than in July. Retail trade improy- ed considerably during August and the volume of business was larger in most sections than In August, 1921.
 The banks are in a strong position and are meeting the seasonal demand

Daughter and Dad Arc Regular
 Pals And Also Mother and Son

By W, Black; Julian Huxley says that 1t isn't going 60 be long before we're going to be able to choose whether to have a son or daughter.
 If that's true, I wonder just how many daughters there will be in the world.
 I'll tell yOu-iust about as many
 No-not quite that. There are men who prefer soEs to daughters before they're born. It's the old world idea of an heir and a sue cessor in business, and there's some thing sweet and protective about 1t too. A man likes to think that if he should die he would leave be- hind him a son, not only to per petuate his name, but to protect his sons mother, when he, himself, is gone.
 That's all very well for the first year, but have you never noticed that a man is particularly fond of his daughters when they get to be seven or eight years old? And when they're seventeen or eighteen that's the time that Father wouldn't give one of his daughters for half a dozen sons.
 Mother is just the other way | around. She likes a son the best.
 Oh, yes, daughters all right when she's little and pretty and yielding and can be dressed up and fussed comes to the 'teens-give mother a son every day in the week. How she does love to caV him rough and rude and how she glories in his rOughness and rudeness even while she's scolding him about them. How proud she Is of him-she can never get over the wonder of it-what, that tall, broad-shouldered, high headed, Opinionated, domineering man-her son, her little baby.
 And son is a good deal more apt to be devoted to mother than daughter.
 Daughter and dad-they're the pals they're the ones with the secrets and the whispers and the cajole ments.
 And, whisper, here's a strange thing-haye you ever noticed it?
 I never yet saw a woman jealous lof her husbands love for her daugh ter. but have seen more than on5 man jealous of his wife's love fol her son. I wonder why.
 The unselflsh mother and the un, selfish Lather-which will they wisl fora son or a daughter, not foi their own pleasure and happiness but for the pleasure and happiness of the child?
 1 Which gets the most fun out ot life-the man or the woman?
 Do you know? Do I? Oh. ot course. 1t is always said that men have the best of eyerything-but dc 1 they always-really?
 Doesn't It deperd entirely upor Y the individuals?
 1 I know scores of men who work hard and play hard and worry hard too.
 And their wives don't do a thin2 but play There's no work for then to do and there's nothing to worry about.
 Of course, We all know womer who work and worry, too, but some how, in the natural division ol things, I don't believe the man ha. very much the better of 1t. He has more pleasure, more interest In life and he is less tied down as a rule | 100 reprints of latest copyright ic
