What MT. Hoover Has Done.
(New YorZ Times.0

Too much praise cannot be given the President for the prompt and resolute and sklful way In which he set about reassuring the country a1ter the financial collapse. Making new use of methods which he had frequently employed on a smaller scale when he was Secretary of Commerce, he sum moned to Washington leaders in business and bank ing and industry and agriculture and organized labor with the aim of inducing them to do every thing possible to repair the disaster. To this plan they agreed in a large and generous spirit What they undertook to do reported to the public and has undoubtedly had a most salutary effect But it is necessary to examine closely the exact nature of that effect. It was predominanty change of mental attitude. People led to raise their eyes from looking at ruins and to fix them upon the new and fairer buildings to be erected There a general sense of encouragement. Cap tains of industry and masters of finance and the general body of workers felt somehow that they were, and pledged to cooperate. This result has unquestnably been of immense benefit to the Unit ed States But Hoover himself would be the first to say that it should not create false hopes and especially should not furnish assumed warrant for new and reckless speculative miscalculations.
 For the glaring errors already committed and the great and widespread losses incurred the coun- 1 try will undoubtedly have to pay. And it will be some time before the projected outlays by great corporations can be made concrete in actual en- poyment In every preliminary studies will have to be made blue-prints submitted and each detail worked out In the end, doubt, large sums will be put into fruitful circulation Moreover the mobility of labor is not in actual practice facie as it is in economic theory, so that time must eapSe before workers who may be displaced at one point find jobs at another Apparently MT. Hoover himself contemplates such slow development of his plans. This seems to be inn piled by his intention to set up two three perm anent Councils to have continuous charge of CO., ordnating and hastening public works and other activities in the hope of preventing violent crises in the labor market or in any large industry.
 I The Presidents in this troublous time has been all that could be desired. No one in his place could have done more; very few of his pre- ldecessors could have done much Definite physi- cal results of his activity may be delayed in ing, but he has already wrought wonderful men, tai transformation in the American people. It is
 still true that hopefulness and determination rep
 resent national asset greater than anything whcI values.

SANTA'S MAIL Ry Mary Graham Bonner

Santa Claus had been so inter ested talking to his dog, Great Boy and working in his shop, that he had not noticed John or Peggy or the Little Black Clock.
 He is too busy to notice any outsiders" said the Little Black Clock.
 "Oh, can't tsI say just one wore to him?" Peggy asked.
 "Yes, just before we leave,' the Little Black Clock said. But you know he's little bit shy. In fact he is quite shy.
 He very seldom talks to people. ,but he loves to have them write f him notes and send him messages and he is so happy that he decided to spend his time preparing for one day in the year. He said, you remember, that he knew it would keep him young. And it has! He has never grown a day older from that time to this, and he will never grow any older. He will always have white hair-just as he had when he decided what he would do. But he will stay jst the same"
 The Little Black Clock and John and Peggy sat, now, in corner o1 Santa's room. He was reading the letters he had received aloud to Great Boy.
 "Oh. here's one from Florence. She wants doll. Well, she'll just have to have a doll"
 And here's one from Peter. He wants a boat. He'll have to have boat Betty wants doll bed and Freddy wants a drum They shall have them! And they all say they love me, Great Boy Isn't that wonderful?
 Wait! Do I hear sound?' San- ia Claus went over to his fire place.
 "Yes! Here are some messages coming through the chimney tc me! Bobby says he's going to leave some sugar for my reindeer"
 Shall I speak to him nowY asked Peggy.
 All right" said the Little Black Clock.

the citizens by an almost unanimous vote showed their cooperative spirit is an assurance that capi- tai will get fair treatment there when it is se- cured It is a demonstration that will make it easy to get consideration for the town from those who are contemplating the establishment of new industries
 Another thing is proved by these sweeping maorites is that the people of Port Angeles real ize fully what the pulp and paper industry means for town. The town has grown from about 25Oo to 120OO or so in few years through the pulp and paper development that already has taken place Now it is proposed to increase the pulp production 400 per cent and the town expects to have 10000 people very soon.
 People everywhere wish well for those who help themselves The whole Northwest will watch with pleasure as Port Angeles progresses.

CANNOT FORGET ROAD.

Prince Ruperts road must not be lor- gotten It is noticed that the road to Alaska is not forgotten, for it is being for warded by American interests who wlsh It built Perhaps it might pay to get few Americans behind the Prince Rupert highway.
 We would not have it thought that we are opposed to the Alaska highway. It IS, as we have before intimated just matter of precedence. The Skeena River highway is dangling along, while vigorous measures are being adopted to force the other to the front So much is it the case that the Federal Premier is being brought into the councils along with United States inter- ests and the Provincial Government All this time practically nothing is being done toward forwarding the highway from Prince Rupert eastward It would seem as if the intention is to give preference to the Alaska highway and allow Prince Ruperts vital project to be delayed indefinitely -(Prince Rupert News)
 It is perfectly all right for the Prince Rupe paper to urge its Prince Rupert road as an enter prise that is entitled to first consideration. Bl we don't like the not well concealed sheer in tf first paragraph It isn't chubby We certai that American interests" are not trying to forwar one Canadian project at the expense of anoth' for the purpose of helping their own country the detriment of Canada. In fact we don't thir they are trying to interfere in Canadian matte at all

Mr.. Ivan Simpson. Blotting paper upon
the dead mans desk, the clock in the
village church and other crafty evidence
of innocence are fixed to deceive the
police. Mr.. Ling and Mr. Simpson are
about to exit nonchalantly when they
are stopped by the ingenue of the
drama, Miss Vivian Tobin. She is a
niece of the murdered man and with
her woman's intuition she decides that
there has been foul play. So she and
her wide-eyed fiance go into midnight
conference, and by putting this and
that together cause Mr. Ling and Mr..
Simpson to be arrested for a clever
murder.
There are two of the sisters Tobin
upon the stage, one good, the other bad.
I couldn't tell which of them was ap-
pearing yesterday afternoon in "A Per-
feet Alibi," so concentrated was I upon
Mr.. Ling's facile representation of a
merry and mysterious sharpshooter.
Miss Tobin and Mr.. Tonge, her callow
lover, worked the thing out with all
the excited movements of a game of
chess and were very cunning in their
complicated deductions. But the i'm

In direct and uncompromiSing
contrast to the ultra modern style
displayed by "Fioretta" was Zone
Mile Up" which is preparing to
make its way in New York and
test out the question of whether,
in the current demand for reviv-
ais, a revival of the melodrama
such as AL Woods sponsored in his
earlier career may not now be
practical. In many minds this
novel Zeppelin thriller will recall
Lincoln j. Carter and Harry c.
Blaney as, in unfolding their
stories of villainy foiled mid peril
Gus adventure, did not hesitate to
blow up a steamboat off hand or
casually wreck a railway train.
X X X
BY utilizing dirigible as the
scene of action, Zone Mile Up
employs the very latest develop
ments in transportation for the
purpose of securing the fleeting
and often delicious terror OF
mimic disaster. It is an employ
ment that knows no rest, for the
ponderouS craft tits and Sways
continually to keep the passengers
under nervous tension; tension
adroitly increased by turning loose
through the girder construction a
maniac prepared to aSSaSSinate
indiscriminately.
BY way of unlimited horror the
fantastical notion of a newly in
vented "1eproSy gas" meant to
make war impossible because OF
it's terror figures in a series Of
mysterious theftS.
| X X X X
Whether the theory on which
this startling poison gas aSSump-
ton is based is pathologically cor
rect will properly never be popu-
larly known, since whatever its flu
ture may be there is not a likeli-
hood that Zone Mile Up" will ever
be brought forward for serious,
scientific or legal discussion in
the circles which have already
had so much industrious argu-
ment concerning anti-evolution
witchcraft, and other mysterious
matters in which human credulity
is expected to play an important
part.
The complete possibilities of the
scene in which the maniac DELHI
erately applies principles of mass
efficiency in his homicidal plans
and blows up the ship, startling
as the effect now is, could not be
fully understood without the ad-
vantage of conversational deScrip-
ton by the enterprising producer
James Cooper. Like other produc-
| tionS of more subtle and meta
physical nature, this play handles
mechanism on a large scale. The
crash, already tremendous, or
which the curtain goes down will
be further enhanced by a system
of huge steel balls rolled about ir
an immense iron cylinder from
one part OF the stage to the other

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS "Three Mus
keteerS."

A tremendous welcome home doubt
less will be accorded Mr.. Ziegfeld's 1.-The
Three MuSketeers" tomorrow night al
the National Theater, for the Friml-
McGuire-Dumas musical returns to the
theater where it was born exactly IL
months ago. And it returns with the
prestige of a great New York success
scored during a run of As weeks on
Broadway. Furthermore, it returns
with the original cast of Washington
favoriteS practically intact, only two
minor changes having been made since
the operetta was launched here. And
are promised a perfect running, flawleSs
performance, the rough edges which
invariably surround show during the
opening week having been, in this case,
long ago ironed out.
y Dennis King, as the dashing D'Ar-
tagnan, quick to fight and quick to
love, both acts and sings superbly. He
is a prime Washington favorite. The
two prima donnas-Yvonne D'Arle and
Vivienne Segal-again will vie for top
notes. The comedy honors. and plenty
of them. belong almost solely to Lester
Allen, the diminutive comedian, as the
pathetic little Planchet, valet extraor-
binary to D'Artagnan. Another Wash
ington favorite is Joseph Macaulay, the
Aramis, who so beautifully sings the
touching Ma Belle" number in the
second act. Other principals include
Reginald Owen, the Cardinal Richelieu;
Douglass r. Dumbrille. the Athos: Det-
mar Poppen, the Porthos: John Clarke.
the Duke of Buckingham; Harriet
Hector, the charming ballerina, and
Louis Hector, together with Ruth Lyons
and William KerShaw.
Played with gusto and high spirit by
cast that can really act. this swash-
buckling tale of Dumas unfolds an in
tenSely interesting plot-something rare
in musical comedy. 1t is sung by
artists in the principal roles and trained
choruses, augmented by a really fine
orchestra, to render the enhancing
music of Friml.
Matinees will be played on Wednes-
day and Saturday.
