PETER B. KYNE STORY
 IS COMING TO PALACE

For the second time within the last few months the lovely Claire Windsor is to be seen opposite Tim Mccoy in historical film drama
 This time the charming blonde beauty will be seen as an English noblewoman in McCoy's Foreign Devils story of the Boxer Rebel lion in China approximately a quar- ter of century ago.
 Miss Windsor but recently ap- peared opposite the historical sta1 in "The Frontiersman, a gripping film based on the exploits of Gen Anrew Jackson during the Creek Indian war.
 This time she is seen with a background of legation balls and Seventh Heaven temples, instead of the backwoods and log blockhouses But fighting is there just the same-this time between the whites and the Chinese at the barricades of the legation compounds.
 The picture, which was directed by w. s. Van Dyke, is coming soor to the Palace Theatre The cast includes Lawson Butt, Cyril Chad wick, Frank Currier, Emily Fitzroy Sojin, Frank Chew and others.

THE GOODBYE KISS"
 IS COMEDY AT PALACE

Mack Sennett, who, is to the bathing suit industry what Henry Ford is to the automobile business, has just contributed 'The Good Bye Kiss" to picturedom. Last night patrons of the Palace theatre saw the premiere of this great picture released through First National Productions.
 Not custard pie was thrown nor a bewildered comedian kicked in the seat of the trousers, and for all that it has a Mack Sennett stamp on it that ranks ''The Good Bye Kiss" along with the most in- teresting films of the year.
 Matty Kemp who has the juve- nile lead, makes his bow into the dramatic field in this picture. A the youth who was yellow Kemp travels through the reels convinc- ingly. His interpretation of the character, Billy Williams, is dis tinctly his own.
 Sally Eilers is indeed a sweet girl on the screen-having tremen- dous appeaEand warmth in hei smile that gladdens the hearts o1 those who watch her work As the little girl who loved her man ever when he proved to be yellow Miss Eilers made a splendid impression

"ABIE'S IRISH ROSE"
 NOW AT COLISEUM


 The film version of the most suc- cessful play ever written is being screened in this city.
 Anne Nichols "Abie's Irish Rose, , great and poignant story that it is, came to the Coliseum theatre last night and showed all the evil dence of scoring tremendous suc- cess, even greater, possibly, than the original play itself.
 "Abie's Irish Rose" teaches us that love can conquer all racial misunderstanding and that bigotry and the jealousy of creeds is all wrong. Never before has such "a stirring tale so beautifully told been presented on focal silver sheet, but the picture does not preach; it amuses and entertains.
 Jean Hersholt's performance is that of a master, to put it lightly

 While attending classes at the University of Washington, M s Graves played the harp for chapel services and appeared on various programs arranged by the differ ent student organizations.
 She is considered a most remark able assistant artist for singers and dramatic readers and has accom- panied Aurlio Sciacqua, staff artist of KOMO, whose melodious voice has often been heard over the radio in Juneau She not only &C., companies dramatic readers but is also a talented musical reader her. self.

Once again has this actor scored in
 a role that he makes outstanding
 that of Solomon Levy, the Jewish
 father who objects to his sons mar riage to an Irish girl, Rosemary
 Murphy. Charles Rogers, whose
 splendid work in Wings My Best Girl" Get Your Man" and others lis well remembered, excels as Abie and Nancy Carroll shows herself to be typically Irish as Rosemary i J. Farrell Mcdonald is the father of the girl, Patrick Murphy The comedy roles are in the hands oi Bernard Gorcey and Ida sKramer who, as MT. and Mrs. Isaac Cohen
 have carried their parts from the stage to the screen.

MISS GRAVES WILL APPEAR
 LEGION SHOW
Harpist Will Be Featured Between Acts Next Mon-
 day and Tuesday

Music lovers of the city are look ing forward with pleasurable anti
 cipation to the first appearance be- fore Juneau audiences of the tal- ented Miss fleece Graves, daugh- ter of MT. and Mrs. H. $. Graves and former school girl of this com- munity, who will render several
 lovely selections on the harp be- tween the acts of the coming pro- duction "Cappy Ricks," which will
 be presented on the evenings Of October 28 and 29 at the Coliseum
 Theatre under the auspices of the local Post of the American Legion. Miss Graves, who had intended leaving Juneau thfs week for Seat tie, has kindly consented to post pone her departure until after the
 presentation of this rollicking sea- going comedy, and all those at tending the production should con- sider themselves most fortunate in
 being able to hear this talented
 harpist who brides herself upon
 being a daughter of Alaska.
 For one so young, Miss Graves has surprising amount of experi-
 ence in appearing before the pub lie and has played over KFQW and KJR radio broadcasting stations
 of Seattle. She is manager of a
 well-known Melody Harp Trio which
 has made several appearances be- fore the Music and Art Club which ; holds it's meetings at the homes
 of it's members in the different
 districts of Seattle; the Breakfast
 Club and the Maritime Club which

to reach a decision in this con- troversy; therefore priv te schools and public schools exist side by side in many commun- ities, and each individual parent has the opportunity to decide for himself where his child shall ha educated. The problem it. self, however, has been c0mpi- cated in the United States by the nature of our government. We have left to local initiative 2nd to local enterprise those ac- tivities of major concern to each locality. We aim to handle na- tionally only such matters as cannot well be performed local ly. Therefore We have a United States Navy, a United States Foreign Service; but we have state systems of schools, state systems of highways, state care for the insane and the unfor- tunate, etc. As a result of this separation of powers, the United States Government has had lit- tie direct concern with general education, and has exercised practically no administrative authority even in cases where Federal subsidies have been granted to states to encourage education of special types.
 One noteworthy exception to this general system is found in the educational system of the

fourth industrial school. If AL aska is to develop adequately it's own resources, it's people must be trained-a principle which applies to the native and to the newer white population alike If AlaSkans are to raise their standard of living as residents of Continental United States have raised theirs, education and technical training must be de- veloped as it has developed in the States.

Territory of Alaska. The schools for the white citizens of the Ter ritory are handled by the Terri tOrial Government as the schools would be handled if the Terri tory had the status of a state in the Union. The education of the natives, however, is re- sponsibility of the United States Government and is administer ed by the Department of the h. terior under direction of the United States Commissioner of Education.
 According to the last reports, the Department of the Interior is maintaining in Alaska nine ty-seven schools with an enroll ment of 3,775 pupils taught by one hundred Seve ty-seven teachers In addition there arc three industrial schools with an enrolment of two hundred sev- enty-nine pupils taught by twenty-seven teachers. All of these schools under the immedi- ate supervision of six district Superintendents who report to the Chief of the Alaska Division of the Bureau of Education, MT. J. H.

Protecting Banks

theoretically, all the banks in the state made
safe by the legislature when it passed law providing
life, or near-fe, sentences for the bad bandits who
take gun and try to rob them.
The action was fully in keeping with the mentality
of the body which passed it. AS matter of history,
no bank in this state in the past few years has
been forced into bankruptcy and insolvency by rob-
berry from without.
AS a matter of history, no bank ever has gone
into insolvency except through the negligence or
crminaity of some of the officers of the bank.
When banks break, they bring trail of to
the communities in which they operate. The de-
positors suffer. Business stagnates There is
dependency. and often suicide. Crime follows
naturally.
While the legislature veered away from any sug
geston that bankers who rob their institutions
be given sentences at least equal to those handed out
to the bandit, there is no why the banking
department should not attempt to stop some of the
practices that have resulted in disaster to many
munities in the state
At the present time public interest centerS around
Sullivan where an admitted defaulter returns after
a few months exile to bandly explain that he had
stolen the banks money in order to permit his
son to speculate.
Blaming the "hot tip" as the cause of his own
ing the serpent in Eden
The truth is, of course, that bankers who steal
money become obsessed by the idea that they own
the money of the depositors and that they ugge
funds as long as they not caught
They become prominent by show of generosity
publicly and privately. They take care" of their
friends who may need money. Lending money to
stock gamblers with hot tips is hardly the standard
of conservative banking.
1t might also be remarked that the indiscriminate
lending of money to politicians or men with great
political power is not the best practice and might
be discouraged.
The state banking department might at least warn
the unSGspecting bankers Of the state that certain
gentlemen have in the past had many notes in diff
ferent banks and that few have been paid.
1t might be worthwhile, in protecting banks, to
discover whether the from bandits with
guns or from the mighty with schemes
When the whole story of Sullivan and its envrons
is written perhaps the legislature will be better able
to write laws for the protection of depositors.

that any one does we'll to stifle his
curiosity about the lands which lie
beyond the spot where the sky dips

Once Was Island

VSLETA is situated on the Rio
4 Grande, eighteen miles south of
Albuquerque. 1t once was an
island, as the name implies, but one
channel Of the river has been
filled.
The reservation consists of a strip
of land, six miles wide and thirty
miles long, lying croSsWise of the
river.
The village centers on an irregular
plaza, from which radiate narrow,
crooked streets, all thanked by long,
low adobe structures, partitioned off
for apartments, stores. stables and
shops.
At one side of the plaza, and in
what might be described as an ex-
tension, or bay, stands the kiva, re-
ligiouS ceremonial house, with
little Catholic church directly
across.
The kiva is round affair, look
ing like an oil tank, with a flight
of steps on one side and an open
ing in the center of the flat roof,
through which a ladder protrudes.
1t contains neither window nor door
To enter, one must elm the steps
and descend the ladder, but no one
except the initiated" is permitted
to do so.

What of It2

I HAPPENED to see the dawn in
l. Peping because we had an all
night poker game. 1t was a good
game. But good games there have
been in Forty-fourth street. 1t is
by no means impossible to be stodgy
in the south seas and a humdrum
life can be lived even by those who
pitch their huts upon the slope of
some volcano.
Romance is state of mind, an
inner ferment having only the dim
NEST relation to climate, the view
from your window or the local
language.
These fellows" OF whom Ross
Ireland spoke, were men who
worked upon a New York news
paper. After twenty years I still
am ready to maintain that it is the
most romantic of all occupations.
Before I went to China I might
well have thought of a lieutenant
of United States marines stationed
at Peping as a fellow of infinite
glamor. He and his buddies were
the ones that kept me up till dawn,
for just one more round of stud and
a consolation pot.
Il don't know what conditions are
now, but in the old days an officer
in the marine guard in Peping spent
his afternoons drinking Scotch high
balls, and his nights at poker games.
