NEW COAL PROCESGy NAY ADD TONNAGE
 ID ALASKA 2OAD
HEALY RIVER CORPORATION MAY ADOPT GERMAN BRI-
 QUITTING SYSTEM

AS the result of a study of the new German process for making coal briquettes without a tar bin- der, it is very possible that the IIealy River Coal Corp, will in stall equipment after which ship ments of coal from the States to Alaska will probably be a thing of the past, according to Otto F. Ohl- son, general manager of the Alas ka Railroad, now on his way to Washington.
 Mr. Ohlson was recently in con- ference with Capt. Austin E. Latin rop, Alaskan capitalist and owner of the Empress moving picture theater chain extending from Cor dova to Fairbanks. The result of the conference was that Captain Lathrop will probably install the new process while the railroad may grant new rates in an effort to compete with Outside coal produ- cers.
 THE NEW FUEL IS
 easily and will be cheaplyy hand led and will have higher heat content than the coal shipped a long distance from the States
 The Healy River Coal Corp, Alaska's largest and most modern of coal mines, is now shipping about 200 carloads per month three quarters of which go to the Fairbanks district The new move ment is predicated upon the open ing of market in Southeastern and Westward Alaska points with better coal in better shape.

The Judge in resentencing the three

call for expansions of his reasons for
condemnation rather than disapproval
of the verdict.

SPEECH OF DOLLS
Cost of Extra Syllable in
MAMA" Is Not Held
Worth While.
Ru the Associated Prers.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, December 1.-two mil
lion dolls that should open their eyes
Christmas morning and delight little
girls with the cry of mama will con-
fine their greeting this year to single
wall of ma"
For mama" is two syllables and toy
makers have decreed that the cost OF
the extra syllable is not worth the sound:
Therefore, production of this type or
talking doll has been curtailed and the
one with the single plaintive note
increased.
AS Christmas draws near Woro comes
from the American Institute OF Toy
Makers that Santa Claus has welded a
vigorous paint brush during the year,
with the result that a vivid, multi
colored array of playthingS will con-
front the youngsters Christmas morning.
Artistry Design Better.
Not only is the mooernistic note of
color very evident in this years play
things, but there also is seen higher
artistry in design than ever before.
The past few years have been marked
by a trend toward more substantially
built toys. The plaything for one days
amusement is no more and most toys
sold today will last a year or longer.
manufacturers say. InSiStence on The
part of the child to have something he
can play with instead of merely sitting
back and watching his toy perform is
declared responsible for this change
The high intensity of modern life
and the great concentration on in
fusing learning into youngsters have
lowered the play age of children from
what it was 10 years ago. A toy that
formerly amused 12-year r-old child
now will not entertain him after he
passes 10.
The average child more than 10
demands something which appeals to
his imaginatioi:. and challenges his
energy and ability. American toy
makers say theF must tax their in
genuity to supply suitable playthings
to sophisticated youngsters of 10 to IA
years.
Doll Retains Popularity.
While one-third of the toys that will
find their way into the homes of Ameri-
can children Christmas morning, toy
builders say will be velocipedes, kiddie
cars, bicycles and other wheel goods,
the doll still retains its great popu-
larity. Approximately 25,000,000 have
been made in the United States during
the past year, indicating that they have
won a cherished place in the hearts
of little American girls.
This increased popularity, too, lies
chiefly in the fact that they reflect
modern life Designed by artists who
faithfully interpret the modern spirit
of America-with slim bodies and legs,
short dresses and bobbed hair-they
carry an irresistible appeal to little
girls in every corner of the nation.
The blondes will be in the minority
this Christmas.
Three distinctive features mark the
American doll crop this year-the un-
breakable head, the mama" and
ma" voice, and the improved Sleep
1ng-eye mechanism.
