AND GOOD
AT MET"

Philo Vance, the American Sher.
lock Holmes, comes. to the Wash
ington screen this week via the
Metropolitan Theater where, in
the person of William Powell, he
tolves the Canary Murder Case"
This s. s. Van Dine mystery
makes cracking good entertain
ment, albeit slightly slow at times.
THE Canary Murder Case"
however, is not built along the
cut and dried lines of the usual
screen and stage "thrillers." 1t
has a better worked out plot for
one thing and for another the
usual extraneous shr1eks and
groans and whatnot from mys.
terious sources are missing.
thank God!
Here Is the story of a murder
told in the broad open light of
day, for the most part. The
corpus deficit is early removed
from the scene and its skeleton
Is not brought back later to
dangle In the face of an audience
that Is supposed 10 shiver at
sucH InlngS.
The plot has a double action
Kick in that after the actual
murderer is discovered the means
by which the murder was com.
mitted and the murderer's alibi
established remain to be solved
the actual slayer having been
Killed on his way to give himself
up. The mystery is solved. how.
ever, in a legitimate and logical
way.
William Powell is a good Philo
vance and plays his role In his
usual entirely able manner. Louise
Brooks, THE Canary" acts the
part of this hardboiled wench in
pretty good style. It's not a
pleasant part, but it doesn't last
long. +.-.
Gustav Won Seyfferitz does ex-
ceptionally well as Dr.. Lindduist.
The program is enriched by a
comedy starring Edward Everett
Horton-a clever talxie which is a
riot OF fun at times.
The usual news reel winds I'D
an unusually entertaining bill.

It is not the present intention of the War Department to aban- don the AlaskaSeattle cable, 1t was made known today at the office of Governor George A. Parks.

 The subject of abandonment of the cable. was given some prom thence several weeks ago when press dispatches reported that Gen.

Let us understand this experao
 ment. Had these eggs been fer1 tihzed, and then planted pWithd [ out being eyed, or been what ts- | known to fish culturists as green
 eggs, the loss would have been { heavy. AS before stated the
 eggs would have accumulated largely in punches, suffocating
 them, also, exposing them to the cottcny vegetable fungas growth
 as there would have been a per iiod Of from ninety to one hun dred days before the matching stage of the eggs would be reach | cd. Observations on July 6,
 1920, from this plant of eggs
 were made. There was located and seen throughout the lake and it's tundra and tributary in let streams, in schools of thou
 sands, young salmon of an av- craze length of three and one half inches, in vigorous and healthy condition, and not like the ~hand-reared, domesticated fish, robbed of the instinct of
 self preservation. One can
 realize that the cost of main tainiug and feeding these fish up to this size and growth with Iout the assistance of 9 natural
 feeding ground, provided for by nature, would have entailed an
 enormous outlay of money. Fol lowing out this experiment, we found that these young salmon had passed out to sea the follow ] ing September, 1920. That is to say, the Humpy salmon had, while the Coho migrated to their future salt water home in Octo- lLer, 1919 to February 1920, a few remained in the lake, and are still there, while those that passed to sea, of the earlier lot,
 some were found in the salt wa ter, very safe and sound. They had gone over the fifty feet of falls without injury. BE TT UNI DEESTOOD THAT THESE FALLS HAVE PREVENTED ANY
 AND ALL FISH FROM ENTER ING THIS BOD YOF WATER.

 REASON FOR ITS BEING 4 BARREN LAKE. It is not in any sense a mineraIized body of wa ter, and is fed by glacier, spring and tundra water. HOWEVER, IF IT HAD BEEN MINERALTz- | ED IT WOULD NOT PREVENT SPAWNING OR ERE EDIN SALMON FROM ENTERING.
