ALASKA ROAD BUILDING MEANS ROAD BUILDING
 DECLARES WILLIAMS

Road building means road build ing in Alaska, if you take it from M. D. Williams, district engineer of the U. s. Bureau of Public Roads, in an article published in the Cleveland Press during the recent meeting of the American Road Builders Conven- tion held in that city and to which Mr. Williams was a delegate
 Alaska, with short summers and long winter frosts, never thaws out entirely, Williams said Up on the tundras the land thaws from six in shes to four feet deep. Where ocean streams from the tropics warm the coast, there is swamp and muskeage. Unlucky is the motorist who ventures upon the unsurfaced road. In summer the thaw leaves it mushy and with out bottom" for autos.
 In road building on the plateaus the construction gangs first have to clean off a foot or more of moss and brambles before putting in a founda- tion and surface. In the swampy land corduroys, or highways resting on logs, are constructed.
 But it is not all trouble for the bureau and Alaska Road Commission. Glaciers have left ample deposits for surfacing and in Alaska are built" the most economical roads in the world, costing only a few dollars a mile. They consist of winter trail" of flags planted at intervals to guide dog teams as they mush over the ice and snow. Some of them are 200 miles long.
 In the Juneau area. there is no nec- essity for long roads, Williams said, for they don't go anywhere"
 The two road building bodies spend approximately million and half dollars annually on road construc- ton.

TWO RECOMMENDATIONS
 ARE PASSED UPON AT
 ALASKA GAME SESSION

Two recommendations have been passed upon by the Alaska Game Com, mission now in session at Juneau. The Empire is quoted:
 The first is an adjustment in the open season on muskrats, lynx. mink, land otter and weasel in District Mo- 3, the Kotzebue Sound district. The adjustment would extend the closing date several days to allow taking the animals after the ice break up, which 1t is said, occurs at about the same date as the present date of closing the season. The date for opening the season would be advanced so as to make the time of the season the same AS at present. The dates now in effect are from April 1 to May 31
 III the second recommendation the Commission has gone on record in framing a resolution to the Bureau of Biological Survey that museum col lecting permits in the Territory be not issued without being first approv- cd by the Commission

JURY SCtRES COPS
 IN PhILADnP PHIA
SJ Pdice Commanders Unit
 to Hold 0lfct

Philadelphia. Oct. 50 R-Nearly sns-third of Philadelphia's police commanders have been declared by the special grand jury investigating rum runners and their rackets and sang murders and police corruption to be unfit to hold any municipal o(iice."
 And there are more in the same category. the grand jury said in its bsesentment to Judge Edwin O.. Lewis recommending that three of the seven police inspectors of the city and IS of the 43 captains be dismissed from the service because of unexplained personal wealth which we believe was either all, or substantially all dishonestly &C., Quired."
 $500, 900 Deposits
 The presentment, which came at the beginning of the eleventh week of the inquiry. listed bank deposits of more than sS00.0O0 as having been made by the 2l police officials within the last four years.
 Tho three inspe tors. John J. Car lin, William J. McFadden and John Stuckert, were declared to have made total deposits of S336.794. Of this sum, $193,533 was credited to Carlin and $102.S2S to McFadden. Deposits of the captains ranged from about $3,O00 to more than Sss.O00.
 District Attorney Monaghan, who h directing the inquiry. said the presentment had created a situ- ation probably without parallel in the history of American cities. while Judge Lewis declared that the "amazingly sordid recital" should make it clear to citizens Of Philadelphia why gangsters. boot leggers and gunmen had been able to operate with impunity."
 Asserting that the commanders of our army of defe SC" had become allies of lawlessness, Judge Lewis told the district attorney and the xrand jurors that If politics won't voluntarily separate from the police force, some pressure must be brought" The judge did not ind!- cate what form this pressure would take. He suggested that a copy of the presentment be sent to Mayor Nackey, who has announced that he would suspend forthwith any po- lice official cited by the grand jury as unfit"
 In . previous presentment on Oc- tober :. the special grand jury de- nounced political control of the po- lice and declared that the realign- ment of police district lines to coin- eide with ward lines -ras the root of the graft evil"
 Cops Shifted
 Since then nearly all of the 4,S00 policemen, including captains have been shifted to other districts by order of Mayor Mackay. At the same time Harry c. Davis. director of public safety and William Mills. superintendent of police. issued or ders to the force to "get out of politics and st out"

is kindly enough, admitting
everything except that Talullah
can act. To quote Mr.. Ervine:
"Men do not care for her as an
actress; women, and especially
young women, seem to be
cracked upon her. Generally she
appears in plays in which she is
obliged to undress. once sug-
gested to. her that she should
announce that her next piece
would be by Jack the Stripper.
The sight of Talullah's CANT
knickers seems to have a mad
dening effect on her young
women. One glimpse at them
and they scream the house down.
/ am referring, of course, to the
devotees and not to the gen.
crafty of women playgoers."
In my limited observation of
American audiences it invariably
appeared that the stern male
was the playgoer who sat up
straight and manifested keen
interest in the matter Of such
stage apparel as described. But
then, maybe we are different.
Baclanova, the Russian
actress, according to Para
mounts. publicity department, is
being groomed to take the place
of Pola Negri in the list of that
company's stars.
Having watched, the heavy
eyed Russian in three pictures
since this unofficial announce
ment the disposition is to check
in with a negative vote. If
Baclanova has enough talent to
be starred she has kept it con-
cealed in "Three Sinners" Cor
gotten Faces" and "The Man
Who Laughs"
In the first of these feature
films she was a rival of La
Negri and cast as an overdrawn
vamp. The honors all went to
Pola. In Forgotten Faces" she
did her best work although the
same tendency to overact was
manifest. In the Universal film,
'"The Man Who Laughs" it did
not appear to these critical eyes
that she was ever convincing.
I think you will find that
Baclanova will continue in char
acter roles. If Paramount has
any intention of making her a
star, she has real right to ask
that she be provided opportunity
in more appealing parts.

-FOUR SONS IS
SUPERB WAR
PICTURE

The same John Ford who turned
out 1.-THE Iron Horse" for W1lllam
Fox is represented in Washington,
at the Fox Theater this week, by
one of the finest war pictures ever
filmed. 1T is entitled, -Four Sons.
1t is a film story of life behind
the German lines during the
World War. 1t Is the tale or q
German mother who gave three
sons to her country and received,
in return for them, envelopes bor-
dered in black.
The fourth son, who went TO
America. opened delicatesaen and
later joined the A. E. f.. alone sur
vfved the struggle. And after the
war 1t is to him that his mother
comes to spend her last years Tar
from the pretty Bavarian village
y-here only old men, widows and
cripples remain.
There Is only one war scene
In the whole picture, and this IS
brilliantly conceived and executed.
Ford accomplished more by suS-
gestion than Cecil B. DeMille
could have done by hiring an
army of extras and blowing up
city.
Margaret Mann. the extra"
who waited all her life for a
chance at stardom, has the part
OF Mother Bernie. She INDUCES
not bit in histrionics. Always
she is natural, bewildered by the
war and the havoc it has wrought
in her little home.
Her sons are James Hall,
Francis x. Bushman, jr., Charles
Morton and George Meeker. Hall
was the one who went to Amer.
lea. Also in the cast are Fare
Foxe, Albert Gran, August Toll
Iaire, June Collyer, Hughie Mack.
Archduke Leopold and Ferdinand
Schumann-Heink.
It is not difficult to appraisc
this picture for its full worth.
but it is hard to say just what
makes 1t stand head and Shout
ders over the many films devoted
to similar themes. One outstand-
ing reason is its apparent sim
cerity, the absence of the cruder
devices Of hokum, the straight
forward effort to tell story as
well and as briefly as possible.
-Four Sons" among other
things, adds new word to the
vocabularies of Washington movie
fans. 1t is "mutterchen," the
German affeetionate diminutive
of mother"
''Mutterchen" Is the theme song
of the picture, a pretty ballad in
waltz time. The Roxy quartet
and Josephine Binniwell sang it
In an effectively staged prologue.
The Fox Movietone News was,
as usual, interesting. The silent
section of the Fox News shows
Governor Smith in Omaha--scenes
that evoked from the Sunday
night audience considerable APP
plause and cries of "Hurrah for
AL"
The overture is THE Beautiful
Galathea," with Leon Brusiloff
conducting the orchestra.
The Movietone accompaniment
to -Four Sons" was we'll liked.
