The library of the late Dr. Al fred H. Brooks, for many years Chief of the Geological Survey in Alaska, will be presented by Mrs. Brooks to the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines, il was revealed this week by Presi dent Charles Bunnell of the Col lege. sa..
 Containing approximately 2,25( bound volumes and about 4,50J pamphlets and bulletins, ma jority of which are technical and along the line of Dr. Brooks scien. tific work, the library will be of immeasurable value to the insti tuition, President Bunnell declared
 The decision of Mrs. Brooks lo give the library to the College was given Judge Bunnell on his recent trip to Washington, D. C. after he had told Mrs. Brook about the College and the helr the library would be. Mrs. Brooks wished to place it where it woull do the most good, he said, and finally decided that this disposi tion of the library would obtain such result and would be Tn keeping with the work done foI Alaska by her husband.

---------, MAN RUSTLIN'" AT
 COLISEUM TOMORROW

Those who contend that there is no sparkle and originality of treatment in western stories will find the contention sticking in their throats when they go to the Coliseum Theatre Saturday mat inee and evening, where Man Rustlin'," Bob Custer's most re- cent F. B. o. production will be shown. Here is originality to the nth degree, and the production has all the speed and thrills of any western ever turned out. But rlle point in which it stands out above others of it's type is in the conception of story and the amount of truly delightful humor which has been crowded into it. Bob has here a vehicle which al lows him full scope for talents hitherto unrevealed; and he proves as good comedian as he is rider and dramatic actor. As Buck Hayden, who leaves the business of valet to cows for the bigger field of punching stories for a little newspaper out west, MT. Custer gets into plenty of trouble and scores of laughable situations. William Branch wrote the story, which has been splen- didly directed and is realistically portrayed on the screen by a good supportihes cast.

SAYS NATIONS ARE BLUFF|NC :.
 PEACE ISSUES
George Bernard Shaw Says Powers Recognize War
 as Final Appeal

LONDON, Feb. All great militant powers are putting up a peace bluff to cover prepara- tions for the next war" George Bernard Shaw said in an article in the February issue of "No More War"
 He declared the effect of the Russian proposal for total dis armament was to call the bluff of the Powers of Western Europe, now standing unmasked by Rus sia and America, as determined to maintain and extend thems selves by the sword, therefore they recognize war as the final court of appeal in human af- fairs.
 There is no reason why they should not sincerely advocate dis armament as measure of econ omy, because armament can al ways be improvised OF the out break of war. and standing armaments are obsolete nowadays by the time they are needed"

"The Sap, s~ Warner Bros. pro duction featuring Kenneth Harlan opened to large and well pleased audiences last night at the Coil scum Theatre. The story, al though dealing with returned war veteran, is not a so-called war story, but to make the comedy doubly strong the character of a returned soldier who was snp- posed to be a hero makes the comedy situations twice the laugh producers they ordinarily would be were the hero not put in the limelIghta through the receiving of medals for bravery, which had been given to him through mis- take by the war department.
 As a child the hero had been petted and babied by his mother so much that he became prey for the village bully, but the tima comes when the bully gets what he deserves.

fine collection of books on Alaska, some of which are now difficult to obtain" Judge Bunnell said. Tt was the library of a busy man who had assembled a large number of publications concern ing the Territory in order that ne might have for ready reference, authoritative material on every line of activity in the Territory.
 "The gift is accepted with tho understanding that it will be kept intact in the library of the Co.,, lege, separately indexod and known as the Dr. Alfred H. Brooks Library. It is not to be used for library purposes until the College has a fire-proof library building. Tn the meantime, it is to be stored in some flre-proof structure
 Value Is Great
 Concerning this gift, President Bunnell continued: "I am great lv~ pleased with this donation to the library of the College. It means much more than the money value of the books. Dr. Brooks was an outstanding figure in the development of Alaska. The Ter ritory was the scene of his life work and to have for our students his selection of publications is having before us, at all times, the material that he considered of the most importance in his investiga- tions.
 "The writings of a distinguish ed author may be considered the fruits of his labors but his library will provide one with the avenues of approach to his several objec- tives. The sentiment that goes with this gift is wholesome and will, I trust, lead others to con tinue the work of making our IL brary an outstanding feature oi the 'Farthest North College"

 chial School Pupils

'Dadsly Long-Legs," charming comedy in four acts, adapted for stage purpose from the story O. the same name. win be presented by tho pupils of the Pareehial School next week cn Thursday. February 16.
 The play itself needs 10 com mendation-all Americans are ae- quainted with this noted work Of Jean Webster. None of the charm and interest of the story has been lost in the process of dramatiza- tion and the result is a fine and touching play, essentially Ameri- can and essentially worth while.
 Daddy Long-Legs,' tells the story of Judy" pretty little drudge in a bleak New England orphanage. A visiting trustee be comes interested in her, and de cides to give her a chance.

From the Foundlings' Home, she goes to a fashionable College for girls. anu there develops the romance thai constitutes much of the charm ol the play.
 For several weeks, those in the cast have been practicing daily in the school auditorium, and from all indications, other efforts of the school in the dramatic linf will be equalled. if not surpassed The public will remember tn splendid production by the stu dents of Little Lord Fauntleroy, given last year and Daddy Long Legs" will be even better.
 Tickets for the play. which are being handled by the children ul the school, are now available.

.i. WISE GUY" FINE
 FEATURE AT PALACE

"The Wise Guys Frank Lloyd 5 new First National picture now showing at t6e as1 f&esWe here, sees several star members of the cast in roles that are for them distinctly bizarre.
 For instance, Mary Carr, who is known to her millions of fans as the perfect screen mother" and the essence of maternal sweet. ness, appears in "The Wise Guy'' as a crafty and sanctimonious old sinner, who rifles the pockets of a congregation of religion-seekers while the pastor, himself a. faker, holds them spellbound with his hypocritical eloquence.
 Before the final fade-out, how ever, Mrs. Carr reforms" and be- comes converted to her old en- dearing self.
 Mary Astor, who, like Mary Carr, has always been seen in roles denoting great modesty, winsomeness and above-board in tegrity, takes the part of girl crook in "The Wise Guy" She cleverly hides her crookedness, however under the guise of ex- treme innocence. Until discov- cred she poses as a soulful-faced hymn-singer. f
 Betty Compson, another star member of "The Wise Guy" is seen first as, a hula-dancer and then as an organist and choir-girl with the fraudulent gospel outfit.
 James Kirkwood, who plays the title role in "The Wise Guy" is seen as the fakips. evangelist. In the end he is codiNerted to the very beliefs which he so hypo. critically airs.
 The overture "Zampa" was well rendered by the orchestra during the concert and won good ap- plause. E.

Peter Rabbits Discomfort.
Did e'er a person live who ne'er
A discontented look did wear?
Peter Rahhit.

Peter Rabbit had a crouch. In other
words, he felt very much out of sorts.
He was discontented. Peter wasn't alto
gether to blame for being discontented.
1t was chiefly a matter of food. Peter
and Mrs. Peter over in the dear Old
Briar-patch were living almost alto
gether on bark and such tender twigs as
they could find. Now. bark is all right
for an occasional meal, but to have
nothing but bark and twigS day after
day is enough to upset the good nature
of any one Anyway, that is what Peter
Rabbit says, and Peter ought to know.
You see, the Green Meadows and the
Green Forest were buried in snow. Peter
couldn't remember when there had been
so much snow so early in the Winter.
OF course, this meant that Peter and
Mrs Peter could only get such FOODS
as they could find above the snow, and
this meant nothing but bark and twlgs.
II wonder if this is going to last all
Winter" grumbled Peter as he looked
longingly out of the dear old Briar-
patch across to the snow-covered Green
Forest. IF I keep on eating nothing
but bark and twigs, I shall turn into
a tree or a bush. or something of that
kind. My, my, what wouldn't l give
for taste of something green!
= Little Mrs. Peter looked at Peter
anxiously. She knew just what was
going on in Peters mind. She knew
that he was longing to run over to
the Green Forest. 1T isn't any harder
for you than it is for me-" said she.
True. my dear, quite true" replied
Peter, "but I have an idea that If we
were to go over to the Green Forest
we could find something besides bark
and twigs. If we stay here this is all
we shall have until the snow goes.
= 1T probably would be all that we
should get over in the Green Forest"
replied timid little Mrs. Peter. You
ought to be thankful that we have bark
and twigs. Some people couldn't eat
bark and twigs if they wanted to-"
''I don't care what other people can
do or cannot do. I'm not thinking
about other people" retorted Peter. Il
have an idea we might find a frozen
apple or two up in the Old Orchard"
"we might if we knew exactly where
% dig" snapped little Mrs. Peter, cross
~, but who is going to tell us where
to dig? You know just as well as do
that any apples on the ground are
buried in snow"

Ny Neighbor Says:

When whipping cream, cut a
hole in the middle of a sheet of
oiled paper and slip the paper
over the beater below the wheel.
Spread the paper over the bowl
and the cream will not spatter.
Instead of tying bridge covers
on the corners with tapes. make
a tiny square pocket on the un-
derside of each corner and fasten
with a snap. In each pocket put
a small weight to keep the cover
in position.
Whites of eggs will not fall
after they are whipped if pinch
of cream of tartar is added while
they are being whipped.
Don't neglect to oil your vac

that isn't saying you won't be caught"
snapped little Mrs. Peter. II never did
see such a diScontented fellow. Reddy
Fox and Old Man Coyote are just as
hungry as we are, and perhaps little
hungrier, and hunger sharpenS wits.
They are twice as dangerous as in times
when they can get plenty to eat. You
stay right here in the dear old Briar-
patch. I don't want to be left alone
here and certainly am not going with
you. There is Reddy Fox now and he
is headed this way. What do you sup
pose he wants?"
Peter grinned in spite of himself
"He wants US" replied Peter.
For once Peter was quite right.
