| SSAA advance memorandum issued by the Geological Survey. The total value of the mineral out put of the Territory since 1880 is placed at $585,374, ,O0O.
 1927
 Gold $5,927,OOO Copper 7,25O,OOO Silver 356,OOO Coal 548,OOO Tin S4, 400 Lead 127,OQ0 Miscellaneous min
 eral products 162,OO0 Total 14,4O4, ,0OO
 The most notable decrease was in the quantity and value of copper produced, but there was also a considerable de- crease in the gold output and in certain of the substances, notably platinum metals, that have been included in the table as miscellaneous mineral products. The decrease in quantity of silver produced reflects in large measure the decrease in copper mining, as much of the silver is recovered from that source. That there was not an even greater de- crease is due, the report says, to the increased production if silver from the silver-lead ores, especially those of the Hyder district of southeastern Alas ka. There was increased pro- duction of coal, lead and tin in 1927; in fact, the quantity of lead was the greatest that has ever been produced in any one year; and the quantity of coal was exceeded in only one year since mining began in the Territory and then by not more than 15,OOO tons.
 The Department believes the decrease in production of min- erals from Alaska, is attrib- utable not to permanent wan ing of the mining industry but to a number of causes, some of which were purely local, others regional, and still others widespread, affecting not only Alaska but the United States as we'll. One of the widespread causes was the low price at which metals sold during 1927. This not only had the effect of cutting down the val ue of the product sold but al- so had an even greater effect in curbing production. Obvi- ously, during a period of low prices it is only the part of wise management to reduce the output and await more favorable markets. This con- dition was especially reflect ed in the output of copper during the year.
 The decrease in the gold out put is, according to this an- nouncement, of course, not st- tributable to this cause. h. stead, it was due solely to a decrease in production from gold placers, for the amount of gold recovered from the lodes increased somewhat. The explanation of the de- crease in placer-gold product ion lies largely in the adverse climatic conditions at almost all the placer camps through out the Territory during the season. The winter of 1926-27 had a very light snowfall, so that the run-off from the snow when it melted furnished un- usually little water. Coupled with this, the early part of the open season was unusually dry, so that" at many camps

''They will mean that the motion

The Photophone was demonstrated
in the projection studio Of the Radio
Corporation OF America to give sew
eral celebrities in the motion picture
field and others an idea of how the
system operates. Spectators got q
thrill from listening to the sounds
that accompanied the parade in
honor Of the Bremen niers, being
able to pick out individual voices
in the cheering. Listening to d
symphony orchestra, there was not
the slightest loss In fidelity OF tone
or volume. Small theaters. 1t was
explained, never would be able to
provide such music.
The acoustics of theaters through
out the country will become an Inn
portAnt matter, DIR. Goldsmith said.
Heretofore, the size OF the theater
did not4 matter when silent pictures
were being shown. 1t will be diff
ferent, with the voices accompany
ing the pictures.
Gloria Swanson has arranged with
the Radio Corporation of America
to record her voice in a new film,

WOMEN IN PARIS
To FIGHT ON
BY international News Service

PARIS, Aug. 29.-The little group
Of militant international feminists
gathered in Paris, declared today
''they were not through" despite
the rebuff they received at Ram
oouillet yesterday when they tried
to present a letter to President
Doumergue, Of France, asking a
10 minute conference.
In the group OF militants gathered
here are Americans, British, French,
Germans and Italians. The ackDow-
lodged leaders, however, are Miss
Doris Stevens, and Lady Rhondda,
of England.
For the time being the women
are centering their activities against
the French Government and will
continue their efforts to get inter
views and eventually pledges OF aid
from President Doumergue and
Foreign Minister BRAND.
Mrs. Frank B. Kellogg, wife Of
the American Secretary OF State,
was obviously annoyed over the
activities of the women, especially
the Americans, since Sunday. She
said she thought 1t was wrong for
women to take occasion of such
gravely important moment to try
to cause trouble.

THE KEDRorr QUARTET.

Washington has heard many male
quartet organizations on various occa-
sions. but 1t is probable that never pre-
viously In the history of music in this
city has there appeared so nearly per-
feet an ensemble of this type as the one
which presented program at Central
Hi N School, under the auspices of the
Community Institute, last night. 1t was
the famous Kedroif Quartet of Russia.
Many reports had preceded this quartet
to the National Capital all OF them
glowing with warm praise. Even so, the
actual singing of the Kedroff Quartet
surpassed any anticipation and won
unified admiration and persistent APP
plauSe from the audience, which, IN
spite of the bad weather, was OF very
generous proportions.
This quartet is made up of l. K.
DeniSSoff. first tenor. 7. F. KaSakotf
second tenor; N. N. Kedroff, baritone.
and c. N. Kedroff. baSSo. Both the
tenors were formerly with the Imperial
Opera of Petrograd. Prof. N. N. Kedrof
was formerly connected with the I'M
perial Conservatory in Petrograd and
Prof. c. N Kedroff was with the School
of Musical Technique, also in Petro-
grad.
The quartet was originally organized
more than 80 years ago, although
the perSo@nel, As result of this
long period OF existence this vocal
quartet is as nearly comparable as
possible with the famous FlonZaley

effects that six people possess over q
group of four, brought the old English
madrigalS in just such finished fashion
s3 the Kedrolf Quartet brought the
music of Russia last night. There is
the same perfect blending of one voice
with all the others in the group. the
same clean-cut attack, the same ease
of poiSe and production IN singing. and
the same complete artistry in interpre-
tation of the message of each song.
Two groups of Russian folk music
showed the marked similarity of the
old "circle songs and dances" with
English types. These songs, many OF
them in ARRANGEMENTS made by N. N.
Kedroff. were favorites of the evening.

fourth group also featured classics, but
by other than Russian composers, In
cluding works by Patzius, Mozart, ADJ
and Johann Strauss.
Today at the III am. service at ST.

tet sang Russian sacred music. They
will be featured again at 6 pm. today
