HOW WISE WAS WIFE
 IN THE WISE WIFE?

Was she wise wife, or was it merely that he was dumb hus- band?
 Arthur Somers Roche's magazine serial, "The Wise Wife," which E. Mason Hopper filmed for Pathe- DeMille, might just as well have been entitled, "The Dumb Illus band" On the other hand, the former title may fit the bill, in that the husband was wise, but the wife was wiser.
 Phyllis Havre, in the title role, first is seen as Mrs. BlaiSdelk the domestic and settled down" wife of John Blaisdell. played by Tom
 Moore. Along comes Jacqueline Logan, in the portrayal of a snap py, up-to-date twentieth century flapper from the sunny south, and vamps Blaisdell. Then Miss Havre gets busy and taken on flapper ways herself, shortens her dresses i and snaps up her appearance. Be- fore many close-ups have rolled by she has won her husband back again.
 Such is "The Wise Wife" as pre- pared for the screen by Zelda Sears
 and T. Garnet. William de Mile
 associate producer at the De Mile Studio, supervised the production
 The picture will be seen at the
 Liberty Theatre on Sunday, fea- lures in addition to Miss Havre and Miss Logan, Tom Moore and Joseph Striker. The comedy is said to be packed with thrills and laughs.

"Yes, know said I. But won't ask Veronica. l don't think 'twould be fair to ask Mrs. Sea- broke. And if I asked old Sea- brpke-well, you can easily guess.
 Somerfield nodded. Its awk- ward" said he. But, you know, it may have to be done. If the professor gets wise to what hap pened last night, he won't have any mighty compunctions about askinx. will he, now? Spiriting away the man he was after for the murder of Pell! Have you realized ,f3t
 My perception of reality was be- feg~ei by Veronica.
 Somerfield, looking on from out side, was able to precipitate the confusion a little. He had an ana lytical mind. All these discon- nections, he. said, had to be linked up somehow, and the only link he could see was Laxton.
 stOld Fotherbury's excavations had brought Pell down to Blackwater. Then there was a getaway by a convict. The convict arrived at Biackwater, and on his heels-Lax- ton.
 Pell was murdered in the act Of revealing a ghost and when we look for the ghost we find-Lax- ton.
 fa6omething in the background, said Somerfield, between the Sea- brokes, Pell and the convict. Some thing that even Laxton can't see, for he doesn't seem to have brought the Seabrokes into the picture yet Therefore, whatever his knowledge, 1t begins later than the Seabrokes. .
 "No doubt about it." said I. Lax ton begins with some connection between Pell and the convict. The Eeabrokes begin much further back. You remember that, imnle- tiiately before Laxton came to Hlackwater, he'd been in Devon shire. You remember the unex- plained absence of Veronica from London that Saturday and PelPs absence at the same time. You read that a woman and car as we'll as male accomplice were concerned in the escape. Think of Sunday night: Veronica's strange return; my encounter in Woodcot Lane; Laxton's queer conduct; Iaxton's knowledge that some fel- low would be proving about New place that night-it all shows Lax ton had touch with something that was likely to happen"
 five been wondering" Soner- field unused, whether Laxton had an inkling of a possible shooting match and was trying to stop it.

ENROLMENT AT DOUGLAS
 HOLDING UP
Student Activities Are Be- gun-Athletic Sched-
 ule Outlined

The first week of the new school term witnessed about the same number of pupils enrolled as last year, Supt. Earl Cathcart stated last evening. The attendance is about evenly divided between the boys and girls, except in the high school where the boys are con- siderably outnumbered again. The enrolment in the high school will be 45, which is better than last term. The class enrollments arc l: IA freshmen, 12 sophomores, ' jun iors Gall girls), and 12 seniors Twice as many graduates are ex- pected this year as last
 The Associated Student Body be- gan it's activities for the year on Friday afternoon under the chair manship of Frank Pettygrove, vice president John Cashen, A. s. B president, is recovering from an operation and will enter school later
 The students chose MT. Cathcart as A. s. B. advisor for the ensuing year. After some discussion of the school paper it was decided to pub fish several issues of the Breeze with Ali Niemi, editor; Mae Fraser business manager; and Mrs. Eng strom, advisor The suggestion was made and adopted that there ,e only one faculty adviser instead oi two, as has been the custom in the past.
 The students are beginning the athletic schedule in the form of tennis, hand ball and indoor base ball, so the Nat will be kept busy for the greater part of the year The girls have arranged their ten his schedule beginning M m ay. Athletic directors are Miss Lucille Pepoon and MT. Myron King. Among other activities already organized are boys and girls glee clubs, under the supervision of Miss Katherine Shier. Announcements are soon to be made concerning the organization of community or- chestra, under the direction of the teachers.
 The teachers greatly enjoyed an entertainment given in their hon. or Tuesday evening on the open ing of school. It seemed to them, at least, that even more than the total population of the Island must have been present on the occasion and the reception accorded them was enough to furnish ample in- spiration for great effort through out the entire year. Among their impressions of many changes in their respective surroundings since leaving ''the Outside" those teach CTS arriving in Alaska for the first time are repeatedly recording thei; impressions of the unusual hospi- tality of the Great Northland as something incomparable anywhere.

 "Marling"
 "Well-think of Marling min- ute. Hated Pell. Why? Suspected him. Think of Marling in the clois- ter Sunday night. Then Monday afternoon-you couldn't miss Mar ling's face when Pell went for him. It was Marling who was going to see the ghost, If you remember. If Pell had taken the book, and Mar ling knew it, suppose the book con- tained the instructions for conjur- ing up the ghost, Grenofen?" 1 T can't see how book in New place library could have anything to do with conjuring a ghost out of a convict prison" said I.
 Did it ever occur to you that RPell might have been shot by ac- cident?"
 Somerfield put the question al- most casually. It made me sit up.
 "You mean-why, Somerfield, you can only mean one thing! That i-"
 That the shot was meant for somebody else. In fact, it's perfect ly clear, Grenofen. Did you look through the keyhole? A man who was going to fire through the key ! hole couldn't possibly have aimed 1t Pell, who wasn't in the line of fire except for an instant" Of course! hadn't thought of It. The man who fired the shot was blind at the time; he could not fire and see the target" "Yes, and only one man could have been shot through the key hole-the one who sat in the di- rect line of fire" And he was" "Marling."

The committee of the City Councils,
appointed recently to proceed to New
York and examine certain machines
with view to discovering the best
plan for cleaning the Washington CITY
Canal, has returned. The committee
consists of Messrs. Pepper and Clark OF

Briggs of the Navy Yard.
While desiring to examine various
kinds of dredging machines. the mem
bers of the committee were particularly
eager to see Frondes steam dredging
machine in operation. But untortu-
nately, when they arrived in New YORK,
they found that Fronde's machine mao
blown up a short time before they got
there.
1t is supposed that the explosion OF
this machine also exploded any notion
which the members Of the committee
may have had of recommending 1t Tor

Before making commentators. the
committee intends to go to Alexandra.
