 ARIZONA STREAk" AT COLISEUM TOMORROW

The social amenities that obtain in the cattle conhtry. as exempli- fled by Smiling Morn,y the cook of the TX Bar Ranch who is ss sour as his own heavyweight bis cults, are amusingly woven into the rugged, red-blooded story "Tne Arizona Streak" which will be shown here for the first time at the Coliseum matinee and night tomorrow. Credit for this most virile and humorous vehicle goes to r. A. E. Pine, a new figure in the Hollywood literary world, who promises to go far in helping pro- vide smashing original stories. Lanier Bartlett did the scenario, and Robert De Lacey directed the picture, as he has other F. B. O.. productions featuring Tom Tyler. The stalwart young star is at n's best as Dandy" Darrell, the fore man of the TX Bar Ranch, and dynamic little Ada Mae Vaughn
 makes fine heroine. Others in the cast who deserve special men tion are Al Newton, Frankie Dar- TO, Dave Ward and LeRoy Mason.

LEEDS, England, Jan. 6-Now that fashion has reduced feminine apparel to matter of ounces in stead Of pounds, scientists are 70 determine whether the new modes are right or wrong.
 Experiments have been under taken in the department of tex tile industries at Leeds Uniyer- sity to determine what amount of clothing men and women should wear and what are the most healthful materials.
 Preliminary investigation rc- vealed that wool and viscose take up moisture more efficiently than cotton and can hold moisture twice as long as cotton, under the same conditions.
 Dr. c. w. Saleeby chairman of the clothing committee of the New Health Society. explains that fa3- rics will be tested for air con taining and transmitting proper ties, moisture absorbing and dry ing properties. heat retention, washablepess and other qualities.

 poets to Return North

Gene Miller. associated with one of the leading motion picture concerns of Hollywood. which features newsreels and travelog pictures, is a southbolnd passen- ger on the Alsaka. He has de- voted four years to building an Alaska travelog, besides sending put numerous news-reel films dur
 ng the time he has been here.
 MT. Miller has made his head quarters at Fairbanks since he passed through Juneau for the Interior nearly four years ago. He has visited all parts of Alaska in that time except Southeastern Alaska and the Cordova sections. He expects to return in the spring and do those sections.
 This last summer MT. Miller spent his time in the Nome, Der ing Sea and Arctic regions. He was enabled to cover a lot of ground in the several months he devoted to that region by using He flew, he said, about 6 800 miles.

glittering, joy-mad hosts oi Charleston dancers at the New Year Midnight Revels in Paris The way in which the camera hal caught the pulsing, dissolvin2 pandemonium of the scene is mir acle of Lubitsch's genius. It is like an animated futuristic paint ing.
 The kaleidoscopic sequence dis closes blazingly illuminated cafe where hundreds are hitting thu high spots, in that craziest dance of the dance-crazed age, the Charleston. It glows, it fades. The grinning wide-mouthed face of the negro jazzbo appears, aims Now are seen misty, tipsily-lifted glasses; faint swift-swept fiddle bows; laughing or leering faces :; twinkling toes; rattling drums all intermingling, yelled, tantal.z- ing, exhilarating. It is startling {; breathltaking; it throws audienc ss into paroxyisms of spontaneous applause.
 This, however, is but one of the many unusual and delightful feA. lures of "So This Is Paris." The picture is a clever adaptation of 'Reveillonv that merriest and spiciest of all French farces. Fu,- thermore it was directed by Ernst Lubitsch, which fact alone, places any film among the masterpieces. Monte Blue and Patsy Ruth Miller appear at their best. which is very good, and parts of prominence are interpreted by Lilyan Tashman and Andre Beranger.

Shipments from Alaska to the south last month were valued at S1, ,232,040, according to the monthly commerce summary is- sued today by J. c. Mcbride, Collector of Customs. Copper ore, although much less than nor nal. still led in value for the month with halibut ranking sec ond.

Some men looked forward io this year with added zest and en- thusiasm, while others are quaii- ing in their boots.
 Good reason they have to quake.
 For this is 1928, the magic leap year.
 The ancient privilege of wooiHS reyerts to the female of the spe. cies. She may not only choose her husband, with perfect pro priety, but she may propose to him. Or, if she prefers, she may toy swith his affection and fail to propose to him. But she has on.y year in which to take the lead in love.
 In 1929, the usual order oi things will return and girls again will find themselves forced Ato wait and sigh modestly So Jtt make the most of every minute of leap year, important campaigns are being outlined in boudoirs anu as the new year approached elev- CT nets were. woven by forward damsels whose motto is. "Ga; Your Man.
 Caesar Started It
 The girls owe this glorious priv ilege to Julius Caesar and to Scotch lawmaker of the thirteenth century. Girls often fail to re- alize that Julius' Caesar and thg Scotch were the first champions of feminism. When Caesar re- formed the Roman calendar in 46 B. C., he took his astronomer advice and added an extra day every fourth year to make the average solar year 365A days and yet avoid the awkward fraction of the calendar. That was done by doubling the sixth day before the Calends of March.
 Of the origin of the custom oi having women woo during leap year, no satisfactory explanation has ever. been offered, but in 1928 d law was enacted in Scotland that it is statut and ordaint that during the rein of hir maist blisslt megeste. for ilk yeare known as lepe yeare, ilk mayden ladye of bothe highe and lowe estait shall have liberte to bespeake ye man she likes, albeit he refuses to talk hir to be his lawful wyfe, he shall be mulcted ye sum of ane pundis or less as his estait may be; except and avis gif he can make it appear that he is be trothit ane ither woman he then shall be free"
 Different Penalty Now
 If man declines the honor in 1928, he will not be fined $5 as he was in Scotland, but he will be scorned by all womankind, 10 doubt, for girls at leap year are both hopeful and stubborn.
 A year after the Scotch decree, a like law was passed in France. It was legalized in Genoa and Florence. Possibly the wars had taken too many men. At any rate, that was the first gun fired in the interests of rights for wp- men, And the privilege, as one of woman's rights, in that day may have been considered more desirable even than the vote.
 Origin of Term
 In European countries, February 4. is regarded as the intercalated day. In English-speaking coun- tries it is called leap-year because the Sunday letter Heaps" day no name being given to February 29. Every year exactly divisibis by four, except those that are

en eight days for settlement. On the eighth or ninth day the tax payers household goods are seiz- ed, forcibly if necessary, and ac- tually carted off to be sold. It IS this final action that causes trouble here for there is no for mality of a suit so the taxpayer, even unjustly charged, has to pay or explain satisfactorily.
