 JOIN LEAGUE RANKS

Dennis Mclaughlin, who will ar rive here tomorrow on the steamer Yukon from Seattle, gives some club in the Gastineau Channel League another hurler. He has not been assigned by President Barragar and practically every club in the cir cuit is angling for his services.
 Mclaughlin hurled for the Elks Club during the season of 1926 and turned in some fine games. He is rated as one of the best mounds men ever on the league roster. He is not only good pitcher, but he can play either infield or outfield if the necessity arises.
 He is a brother of Mrs. Earl Theile and Miss Catherine Me Laughlin.

CLEE SINGERS DELIGHT WITH
 FINE CONCERT
London Organization Pleas. es Large Audience
 Last Concert Tonight

One of the most delightful musf- cal events ever to come to Juneau, was enjoyed by the large audience at the Palace Theatre last evening when the Westminster Glee Sing CTS gave their first concert here. That it was thoroughly appreciated was evidenced by the enthusiastic applause of each number and the continual demand for encores.
 Boy Sopranos
 One of the most novel parts of the program as far as Juneau is concerned were the lovely soprano voices of the young boys. taking part in the concert. The clear, pure tones were inexpressably love- ly and made one think of stained windows and Cathedral choirs. ..--.ie there was a sufficiency of more serious airs. large part of the program was made up of hu- morous and folk songs which de- lighted the audience. particularly the sailor chanties, which were en- Icored again and again.
 Harmony Excellent In the numbers by the Glee Singers, which included both the boys and men, and those by the Gentlemen, the harmony was ex- cellent. They sang with an ease which bespeaks both experience and long training.
 Of the several solos, You Will Needs Have Dalliance," sung by Charles Draper with an off-stage refrain by the boys, was particular ly enjoyable, and The Volga Boat man" which he gave as an encore, was very well done.
 | Outstanding Hit

 The program lasted about an hour and a half, but was so varied and proceeded with such dispatch that it seemed less than half so long.

 There is matinee this afternoon and another concert at the Palace this evening by the Westminster Glee Singers.

 tan Arrives Here

The Juneau lodge of Elks will once again break into the theatri- cal limelight on Monday and Tues day, July 18th and 18th, when they will present at the Coliseum thea tre, the laughable 3-act musical comedy Baby Stealers," with a east of sixty local people
 The show which is classed as a lightning revue of fun, fads and fashions, has been a great success both on the legitimate stage, and in motion pictures. In the motion picture such stars as Charlotte Greenwood, Karl Dane and George K. Arthur were in leading parts. Baby Stealers" will be produced under the direction of MT. and Mrs. c. J. McN u g h t Il, professional show producers. The McNaughtans will be remembered for their splen- did shows Purple Flashes" and Johnny Get Your Gun,' which they produced for the Elks in 1926 and 1927.
 This show was produced by the Ketchikan Elks last year and was considered the finest offering in many seasons. The producers car ry the entire equipment in both costumes and scenery, and build up q production that has an entirely professional atmosphere.
 Some of the song numbers that will be heard in the show will be: Here Comes That Show Boat" You Were Meant For Me" If I Had You" Where the Shy Little Violets Grow" Are "a Gonna Be Home Tonight" My Stairway of Dreams" The Song Love-" 'Sweethearts On Parade" etc.
 With the beautiful musical revues there will be strong plot in the 3-act farce comedy, that will be a riot of fun. Eight principals, in- cluding MT and Mrs. McNaughtan, will be cast in these leading parts, and they are being picked carefully by the director, and the Elks' show committee, for pure ability to play the roles they are assigned.
 It is expected that rehearsals for this part of the show will be start cd this evening, and the Elks' club will be busy place for the ensu- ing two weeks.

The Spanish flyers who left Carta-

do what they set out to do. But they
succeeded in writing another great

than would have been the successful
completion of their voyage. Their ex-
periences. eagerly awaited by a world
that refuses to be satiated by the re-

Brig. Gen. Frank McCoy's request
that his own promotion to major gen.

soon to retire, has been rewarded is
the sort Of gesture that one naturally

part in extending his country's frontier
of usefulness. Gen. Mccoy is an ofiicer
and a gentleman who has brought
credit to his profession and to the
system that trained him.

He was an aide to President Roosevelt,

dent Of the law that wisconsin has

he claims, were adopted by the State, -
the Asheville Times includes, And
so the country may witness the novel
performance of WiSconsin's proclama-
ton to Washington that 1t Is q separate

alton In consideration of . bounty in

IF Wisconsin should adopt the sug-
geSted resolution and should undertake
to act upon it." in the opinion of the
Detroit Free Press, ''itS conduct would
amount to rebellion and would lay it
open to Federal discipline and punish
ment. However, the likelihood Is that
the resolution was drawn up for propa-
ganda purposes rather than to serve as
a basis of real action" Doubt as to
expressed by the Des Moines Tribune
Capital. the Bellingham Herald and

With q more favorable attitude to-
ward the Wisconsin legislator, the San
Francisco Call-PoSt suggests that "the
loophole may be there" and comments !:
Suppose Wisconsin, New York, New
Jersey, Maryland and Delaware and
some Western States should set up
large wet areas, how many millions Of
dollars and how large an army of
agents would be required to enforce the
law In the rest of the country? And
how long would 1t be before the Vol

Certain attempts have been made in
education to meet these conditions Of
the human mind, soul and heart, but
! at the best they constitute but MI
mute percentage Of the entire educa-
tional system.
We are still in bondage to the ancient
belief that education is rather an i'm
parting than an acquiring of knowl-
edge.
Many a child sits in silent scorn be-
fore the little knowledge of the peda-
gogue. He realizes that his so-called
teacher knows what he knows only by
rote that in reality he is not by nature
able to impart anything.
He watches the teacher of mathe-
matics, for instance, work out a prob
lem on the board. then turn to the
class and say, Now, do you see?"
He wags his head, as all the other
pupils wag their heads, but down in
his heart he knows. as all the others
know, that the teacher has explained
nothing except his own inability to
explain.
Suppose Johnny should speak up:
Teacher, you sure are a four
husherl You don't understand how you
do 1t yourself and you try to teach us
ignorant bozos when you are almost rs
ignorant yourself"
Every one who has been through
schools well as lfe-knows that no
sooner had Johnny got that speech out
of his system than teacher would have
spoken harshly.
Teachers superior officers. in their
imperial turn, would have spoken even
more harshly. for the dignity of the
profession would have been attacked.
Now contrast the grown-up Johnny
| speaking what ne thought at a board
meeting in business life. Instead of
being "impudent" he would be calling
the others bluff. He would be admired
by the very man he called down.
Such, in essence, is one of the funda-
mental contrasts of business life and
school life, with the advantage all on
the side Of business Or, as no doubt
We should say. on the side Of life.

Wax Ladies to Smile.

News comes from Chicago that the
International Association of Display
Men in convention assembled has de-
cided to create smiles on the pink faces
of the wax figures which pose in de-
partment store windows in the latest
clothes.
Such women" are accepted at their
face value by thousands Of Americans
every day. 1t is questionable whether
either passing men or women pay much
attention to them, the men because
they are not interested, and the women
because they are more interested In
the clothes than the figure.
Whether they smile or frown makes
little difference except in the sensitive
minds of experts, who seem to flgure
that o smile Is better than frown any
day. No doubt they are right, even
when it comes to dummies" as such
manikins used to be called.
All unconsciously the sweet smile of
wax may leave lingering impression
in the minds of Americans, waxlike
beneath the soothing appeal Of the ad-
vertising art. Conversely. the frown
tends to turn the impressionable away
There is psychology in everything
nowadays, even in store windows. In
fact, few places show more psychology
per square foot than display windows
where artists have worked to put oyer
large amounts Of appeal.
The working world will be q better
place because its wax ladies smile, just
as 1t is because its real women smile
more today than ever before in the
history of mankind. The American
smile is beautiful, whether in wax or
the real thing.
