2. Shall congress amend the Vol

No precipitation was falling at the time though snow had occurred during the previous night The temperature during the display fell from 22 de- grees at 9:30 a. m. to 9 degrees al 12:30 ?. m.

WANDA HAWLEY IN COLLIE E PLAY, COLISEUM TONIGHT

Making a whole college work in the pictures-that's whats happened last fall in Los Angeles, California.
 It all came about during the mak- ing of '"The Snob," college comedy drama filmed by Realart as a Wanda Hawley starring vehicle. Campus scenes were needed-and a Southern California university picked as the locale.
 But when the company arrived diff faculties cropped up. All the cOlle- gians insisted on taking snapshots of Miss Hawley, William E. Lawrence, Walter Hiers, Sylvia Ashton and oth CT prominent players in the produc- 'tion. It seemed almost impossible to clear space for the motion picture scenes.
 Finally Director Sam Wood called out, "If you people will all get in the scenes we'll give you 15 minutes to snap all the pictures you want."
 And so it is that the campus scenes look "real'-With actual collegians giving true and accurate atmosphere
 'I felt right at home,' said Miss Hawley, "it seemed only a few days since I was a coed at the University of Washington I was thrilled to death when one collegian. apparently not knowing I was part of the movie group, came up and asked if I was going to the Junior 'Prom.'

 Conflicts With Law
 It is pointed out that the proposed restriction of prospecting in the Mt Mckinley Park district is in direct conflict with the provisions of the original act creating that park See tion four of the latter measure pro vides that prospecting may be car ried on under the general laws and regulations, governing mineral lands on the public domain From this i, is argued that in setting aside the district for a national park Congress had in mind the possible existence os valuable mineral deposits in the dis trict and purposely made provision for their future exploration and de velopment
 Would StifIe Development
 In the protests forwarded, 1t is pointed out that the restriction of future prospecting would stifle de velopment of one Of the most promis- ing mineral sections in Alaska and make unavailable one of the most iM- portant sources of tonnage for tn Government Railroad" The effect Of the bill would also, it is said, be felt seriously in the Ka1tishna mining district which even now is using fde' from Ignite coal deposits situated within the park borders. Timber ia scarce and should be held for utiliza- tion as mine timbers instead of for fuel requirements. The bill would shut off kantishna miners from ob. taining fuel from the park. it is said.

provide a minimum OF comfort for
Families living in mining communi
ties required, according to Profess
sor Ogburn's estimate, ar annual
income of .$2,244. Prices have de-
creased somewhat since these esu-
mates, but even in the prosperous
year of 1918 the miners average
annual earnings were not equal to
the estimated minimum Of subsist-
ence', except for a comparatively
small group OF machine miners

were open.

Moreover, a miners family lacks
the economic safeguards IF life in
community with several varied
industries in which other members
Of the family including wives and
daughters, find work. For many coal
miners this resource Is lacking. The

Greater security in employment
must be made the foundation for

THE miners in the soft coal in
dustry might well ask for a guaran-
teed minimum of employment as
the basic need, taking precedence
over wage adjustments this year.
The necessity for regarding a reas-
enable minimum of employment as
a fixed charge upon the industry
would probably make operations
more reluctant to open new mines
or to enlarge unduly those already
open. To make employment regular
is important not only for the stanc-
ard of living of the mines families
but for the economic conduct OF
the industry. Capital, as we'll as
men Is wastefully used when money
and energy are invested on scale

required. The public. the operator
and investor and the coal miner,

bituminous mining efficient and
