tions.
Two new programs that came to
listeners through wRC last evening
were significant of 1928-29 radio
entertainment in that both of them
the Song Shop" at o'clock,
and the "Swanee River" at 800
strove to create an atmosphere to
which living-room listeners could
adapt themselves. on the one hand.
and the performers in eacn pro-
gram sensed the fact that they
were emit living-room
groups and adapted themselves to
those groups. While this might
seem to be a paradoxical situation,
vet it isn't, and 1t is what most
radio programs have lacked, and
by that lack why many of them
have failed.
In the case of the "Song Shop"
Colin O'Moore, the happy, cheerful
tenor of many other programs, who
has a keen sense of what radio
means and what it can do. led his
mates of the New York quartet,
the orchestra under Ed Smalley and
all } the others, straight into the
living rooms of listeners and all of
them made themselves completely
at home. BY his casualness in ac-
cepting as a fact that he was. among
friends. O'Moore was able to bring
with him the real atmosphere of
song shop-to show something of
the creation of songs and present
two song creators -Doothy Terriss
and Lew Pollack.
1t was done simply definitely and
in most pleasing manner. The
Forhan Company, sponsoring the
program. is particularly fortunate
in the engagement of so intelligent
writer of the script for the sketch
and of people like OMoore to- inter
pref it for Them
There was just bit of haZiness
as to what THE Swanee River"
was all about, and why it was pro-
due but there can be no misun-
way it presented negro songs. This
program. we are informed. is de-
signed to take the place of the
Cabin Door" opus which was be-
coming rather Broadway in its
fIax,oys
Other programs were as usual,
Secretary of Agriculture Jardine
bearing the brunt Of the political
breakfasts. There was an excellent
bit of character sketching in the
early evening by Alfred Shirley
from WRC-with "Pickwick' a far
more appropriate bit than the tragic
Light That Failed, so soon after
dinner.

COLD STORAGE READY TO LOAD
 HALIBUT BOATS
Herring and Ice Is Plenti- full - Season Opens
 Week from Today

With the halibut season sched- uled to open one week from today February 15, the Juneau Cold Storage Company is prepared lo supply bait and ice to all fishing vessels desiring to take supplies here. What is undoubtedly by far the largest supply of herring is on hand in the cold storage rooms of the storage building.
 More than 5000 barrels of the fish is frozen in blocks and neat ly stored in the big rooms of the building The thousands of herr ing in the rooms are quite a sight, and appear to constitute more than 5000 barrels. One of the two largest rooms used for cold storage is completely filled with bait, while smaller rooms have hundreds of barrels ready to be loaded aboard halibut boats.
 Probably the most interesting sight in the building is the huge ice room, which extends from the ground floor level to the top of the building. It is practically fill ed to the top with blocks of ice which will bo sent along the top of the building on chute, into the crusher and thence by pipe in the holds of the boats. Be tween 1,400 and 1,500 tons of ice are stored in this room, and there is room for but little more.
 | A larger fleet seems in prospect for Juneau this season by virtue of the favorable conditions to the fishermen. Reports from Ketchi. kan indicate that the First City cold storage companies are still low on bait Some bait has been shippec to Petersburg from Ju- neau.
 Employees of the Cold Storage Company said today they under stood that several schooners sail ed from Seattle yesterday. and they expect to see several of these boats in port before long. Local fishermen are entering the last week in which to repair their gear and get things in readiness for the opening day. Numerous , boat owners have been overhaul 1 ing their boats as they lay at the | City Float and have been oper- ating engines for hours at a time to check up on defective parts. There are one or two boats that will not be able to reach the banks by the opening date. but the majority of the local fleet will be ready for the race. Activi- ty has been more and more mo- ticeable along the mosquito fleet waterfront as the middle of the month draws near.

 A,oay;Pay Last Tribute

|. MADRID, Feb. 7-Senora Maria Guerrero de Diaz de Mendoza, one of the foremost actresses in the Spanish speaking world and some times called the Sarah Bern hardt" of the Spanish stage, is dead here,
 As soon as news of her death became generally known, prom inent figures in the theatrical world appointed a delegation to pay a last visit to the actress whose body is lying in state on the stage of the Princess Theatre where she made her home. She will be buried at the cemetery of Almudena, in common grave according to her specific request made by the actress
 Sonora Maria Guerrero de Diaz de Mendoza, born in Spain, was an outstanding figure in the thea ire world in her country and in Latin-America, where her name became famous through many tours she made through Argen' tina, Chile, Peru, Cuba and Mex ico.
 The actress, in a visit to New York in 1926, appeared at. ths Manhattan Opera House. She achieved a great .artistical success but financially her tour was 6 failure. Last year her company made a second attempt to stage a comeback in New York but af ter some difficulties the actress and her company went to Mexic, and Cuba. They returned to Flu rope from the latter country.

On February 4th, the Committee
on Labor ordered the katnDone Bill
reported out favorably. Tnis legls-
laJion would establish in the De-
partment of Labor museum TO
which would be sent all manner OF
safety devices. 1t would be open to
the general public for Inspection,
and It is hoped. would create ad-
dltlonal interest in the movement
which has already assumed such
large proportions throughout the
country. As this legislation is SO
greatly in the interest of humanity,
1t is predicted there will be little
opposition to its passage by the
mouse.
The Comittee on Invalid Pensions
has reported favorably bill which
increases the pensions of widows OF
veterans of the Civil War, who
were married to the pensioners prior
to June "a, 1905. The increase
contemplated will be ten dollars per
month, raising the amount from $50
to $40. The minority report, &C
companying the Recommendation,
would increase the amount from $4U
to $50. So far, this is the only pen
sion legislation acted upon favor
ably, and the representatives OF the
various veterans organizations seem
to feel that it would be futile to ask
for any further pension legislation
at this time.
Congressman John j. Casey, of
Pennsylvania, on February Sth, de-
livered one of the most effective
speeches that has so far been given
at this session of Congress. He call
ed the attention of the House and
the country to the deplOrable con-
ditions existing in western Pennsyl-
vania, as a result of the prolonged
strike of the coal miners. The
amount of misery and suffering that
exists there came as rather sur
prise to the House, and his speech
made a very profound impression
on the membership. He offered a
resolution calling for COMPRESSION
al investigation and report on the
situation at an early date. Cong
ressman LaGuardia, New York, also
made a strong appeal on behalf of
the miners, their wives. and their
families, and urged the adoption of
the resolution. Mrs. Rodgers, Rep
resentative from Massachusetts,,
presided over the House at the time
these speeches were delivered, and
Mr.. Casey said that it was very ap-
propriate that woman should be
occupying the Speakers chair as his
speech called attention to the SUI
fering of women and children.
