SEWARD TO FAIRBANKS VIA RADIO STATIONS
ALASKA. ROAD COMMISSION TO OPERATE PHONE LINE TO IN.
 TERROR OVER HIGHWAY

While all army signal corps offices except two between Valdez and Fair banks on Richardson highway will be closed this summer by the war depart ment, sections of the telegraph line will be taken over and maintained by the Alaska road commission. The en- tire line will be abandoned by the signal corps probably by September 1, and headquarters for that section moved from Valdez to Seward.
 The commission will take over DOT tions of the line and install telephones connecting with two radio stations to be erected by the signal corps, one lat Grundler, on the upper Tanana riv- CT, and the other at Copper Center. Primarily this will be done, it is an- nounced to facilitate the operations and movement of commission crews on the Richardson highway. How ever, the service will be open to the public.
 The extent of the phone service has not yet been determined It is possible the line will be maintained north from Grundler to Fairbanks, and south to Donnelly. Out of Copper Center the line may be maintained north as far as Paxon, south on the Valdez end of the highway to Teikell, and to Chitina on the Willow Creek -Chitina section. This would cover the most important sections of the line.
 At present the signal corps oper- ates offices at Wortman, Teikell, Cop per Center, Haggard, McCallum and Richardson. It has maintained a tele- graphic service between Valdez and Fairbanks almost 20 years. Economic reasons are said to be the cause for the abandonment of the line which parallels the Alaska railroad. It is understood that all traffic formerly handled over the line to the interior will be handled in the future by radio between this city and Fairbanks

OLD TIME "THRlLLER"
 MAKES GOOD PICTURE

Those who went ito the opening per formance of The Midnight Express which is at the Liberty theatre to- night were just as thrilled as could be. It has often been said that the old time standbys cannot be revived on the screen. ''The Midnight Express" most definitely and emphatically dis proves this contention. This play in it's stage version was as much of a standard for transformers as "Pellie The Cloak Model"
 The story is we'll known to many old time theatre goers and it has not suffered in it's main characteristics in being transferred to the screen. It is the tale of young man, son of the railroad president living a life of dis sipation and finally thrown on his own  resources by his irate father who learns that he has not been at his work for a week. The boys conse- quent efforts for success under an as sumed name on his fathers road and his meeting with the girl who spurs him into carrying on when he would have given up, form fast moving tale of action which includes fierce strug- gle with an escaped convict and real train wreck. The reviewer can safely say that anyone going to see the picture will be we'll repaid.

PLIERS RISK OWN
 LIVES FOR OTHERS
hcCOOk Field Is Scene Of Dan.
 8eTOuS Tests

Dayton. O.. Sept. II LPl-The un- known quality is the big thing at McCook field. And airplans crack ups. while not exactly courted, are more or less expected.
 McCook field is the experimental field for the United States Army Air Corps, and all ships and pieces of equipment for ships are given thor ough tests before they are adopted for general use.
 It is the work of the NcCook field test pilots-those who have crlth- d to their deaths as Lieut.. E. H. Rarksdale did recently and those who have survived through near miracles-that hase made possible the safety with which mail planes and commercial aircraft now skim the skies.
 A new ship is built. A pilot Is as- signed 10 take it up. And when he does, he never knows how he will return to earth, for a new ship is an unknown quality. The x" ot algebzra days never figures moro largely than it does in q test flight at McCook field.
 The Army Air corps picks the cream of it's fliers for these jobs It is not so much question of risk ing the lives of its best men, as of having for test pilots men who un- derstand the ships and will know what the trouble is-who will be able after the crash, 1T they pull through-to tell exactly and without hesitation what it was that caused the crash.
 The pilots only protection against ihe unknown quantity is his para chute, which he wears strapped to him. This comparative flmsy bit of silk his his sole protection and through tests at McCook field they have been perfected 10 q point where they rarely fail. And every pilot killed at McCook field adds to ihe measure of safety which at tends aviation today.
