WOMEN VALUABLE |NLABOR FIELD
Prove Successful in Hazardous
 Task Of Settling Strikes

Washington, Dec. 1& LP) - Two women employed by the Us. depart ment of labor help settle the strikes that constantly occur in the ranks of workers over the country.
 "Commissioncrs of Cancellation. ." is the official title given Miss Anna WeinstocIl of RoNbury, Mass, and Miss Emmilinnc Pitts of Pitts burgh.
 They sometimes go into danger ous territory. but brickbats are myths to them. They never carry arms. They dress attractiycly like ordinary business women. N"t their soft voices and persuasive arguments have settled some bad strikes,
 One is blond, one is brunei Miss Pitt studied for the ministry and is ordained 10 preach. if she SO de sres. Miss Weinstocll was a worker in q Massachusetts nechuc factory.
 The young women are seldom in Washington except for a few hours. On an average of 50 strikes arc in progress over the country all the time. There arc B conciliatOrs employed by the department of la bCr. which has settled 5000 strikes in fl years.
 So the fun of making dinner and dance dates is not for Miss Wein- stock or Miss Pitt. But the eX- Citemcnt of their daily lives makes the social round of the debutantes lcok tame. Upon the gestures of their slim hands and the tones of their voices depends the fate Of thousands of men, women and children.
 They are sent on the same mis- sions as men conciliators, but arc used particularly in strikes where women workers are concerned. An outstanding feat of Miss Woinstock was helping ill the settlement of the big textile strike in E,lizabeth- ton, Tenn, last spring. It brought her national fame.
 One of Miss Pitts achievements was settling the Pittsburgh strike of newspaper mailers and suffers in 1926. They demanded increase of wages and recognition of thcIr union. Miss Pitts effected an amicablc adjustment after d six day strike.

 Murder Trial Opens
 Many were unconVinCed and the tension among the hill folk was drawn even tauter as the opening of the trial of the five mountain eers charged with the murder of the mountain lover drew nearer. Monday, in the stone court house here, the strange drama of the Ozarks will approach it's climax. In court room guarded against feud violence by 20 armed deputy sher- ifs, the man who claims he is Franklin will appear to save the five from the moose.
 Coleman Foster was guarded by deputies today to prevent friends 0e the accused men carrying out threats against him. The other principals, Tillie, the 17-year-ol1 girl-woman from the hills; Charlie Ruminer, her father, and other wit nesses, lave all been under -yuard of the sheriff's men.

Mountain View, Ark. Dec. 13 UP)-Thc fantastic Connie Frank lin puzzle, on which the lives Of five men may depend, remained unsOlVed today.
 Opinion was vecring, however, toward the belief that the Connie Franklin that Tillie Ruminer claims was snatChed from her side on d lonely mountain trail and burned to death really is dead and the man of mystery who says he is Connie Franklin is an impostor.
 A man who knew Connie Frank lin well was in Mountain View to- day and although he had not seen the ''resurreCted Franklin," declar- ed he could not be his friend of former years.

DESERT SONG" AT
 COLISEUM, TONIGHT

Screen operetta Is now a fact Through the magic of the talk ing picture, The Desert Song" one of the most tuneful and most pop ular musical plays ever shown on the stage, has been brought to the screen, and has been produced on a scale that would be impossible in the theatre.
 Sigmund Romberg's score with its magnificent choruses and the lifting charm of it's beautiful solo numbers, has been reproduced by Vitaphone in all it's original glory.
 The remarkable production quail ties included in "The Desert Song" have been equalled by the unusual excellence of the all-star cast pre- sented by Warner Brothers.
 The scenes throughout the picture are especially beautiful, ranging from an extensive French military post in Morocco to encampments of the Red Shadow and his band of native Riffs in rocky passes of the mountains, and far-flung vistas of the rolling sands of the great African deserts, with the Riffs, singing as they go, riding their magnificent horses at breakneck speed into the setting sun.
 The all-star cast of "The Desert Song" includes John Boles, Louise Fazenda. Carlotta King. Johnny Ar thur, John Milan, Marie Wells, Jack Pratt, Edward Martindel, Otto Hoffman, Robert E. Guzman, Myr- na Loy and many others, as well as chorus of one hundred beau- tiful voices. Roy Del Ruth di- rected, and the operetta was adapt

right one will be chosen. Flor ence Kicks is one of the reasons why the comedy will be worth witnessing. Hazel Petrich will look and act this character in a charm ing and effective manner.
 Cecil Pericles Bernard is the son of rich father. This is, of course, fortunate, or unfortunate, just as one looks at it. In Cecil's case it was both. His travels abroad, and his associations with American snobs, had imbued him, with what Cappy Kicks considered American ideas" which Cappy, in his own way, proceeded to take out of him. Among other things, Cappy told him that he would have to get that Englishman kicked out of you and some honest to God Americanism kicked into you!" Ce- cil has rather difficult time of it, and the embarrassing situations he experiences furnish a lot of fun and laughs for the audience. Will fred Leivers will be Cecil and, ow- ing to the rough handling which is accorded him, he should be awarded a medal after it is all over.
 These are a few of the characters and the roles they play in the pro- ductiop soon to be shown at the Coliseum Theatre by Afford John Bradford Post No 4, American Le- zion. It is sparkling with wit and humor throughout, and is amusing to children and grown ups as well. The prices of admis- sion will be popular and the com mittee has greatly reduce the prices for children so that they may see the show, too, at a small expense.

which comes to the Palace theatre Friday and Saturday, you'll see a picture made under the direction of Stuart Patton, the veteran di- rector who is famous as the man who filmed the screen version of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea-" the immortal classic of Jules Verne.
 About twelve or thirteen years ago, when movies were being made in disused stables and abandoned lofts; when the nickelodeon held sway in stores which had been converted to show the "flickers" and "quickies," Stuart Patton was directing pictures in the hay loft of an old livery stable in Holly wood.

FALL CANNING IS VERY SLACK

Weather conditions played havoc with the canning industry in the Ketchikan district just prior to the closing of the season in August, and the fall canning has not shown up very we'll, due in a great measure to the bad weather which has hindered and kept the seiners and trollers from bringing in the usual amount of fish.
 The Stuart Corporation opened for fall canning but ran only few days.
 Wards Cove Packing company is the one other cannery that opened in this district for fall operations, and they expect to operate, as far as could be learned at this time, until the close of the season on the fifteenth.-( (Ketchikan Chronicle).

 MT. Casperson was one of Ket- chikan's oldest residents, having lived here over 30 years, during all of which time he took an active part in the progress and upbuilding of the town, and also during which time he made a host of friends who will mourn his passing.
 He was a firm believer in the future of Ketchikan Among other things which he was first to estab- fish here, was a bottling works ice cream parlor and first fish market. He also, incidentally, was the first resident of Ketchikan to own an automobile.
 He is survived by two brothers Thor and Bjorn Casperson, who re- side in Ketchikan, and mother and two sisters, in Oslo, Norway (Ketchikan Chronicle)

WHO IS WHO,
 LEGION SHOW

The contrasting types of charac- ters in the comedy 'Cappy Kicks, soon to be produced by the Local American Legion Post, make the play interesting from start to fin ish. Ellen Murray, formerly known as "Goldie Glake," of the Ziegfeld beauty chorus, is the type of girl that everyone likes. That may be why she is engaged to the son of a millionaire. "Cappy," who also has good eye for figures, made her his private secretary. The role requires life and vim and good looks, all of which will be in evidence when Muriel Jar man appears as Ellen Murray.
 John Skinner is supposed to be Kicks general manager. As a matter of fact he is the office shock absorber and trouble shooter. Everything that goes wrong he is blamed for and whatever happens to come out right, "Cappy" takes the credit. His salary is ten thousand dollars per year and that is some compensation for the wear and tear on his nerves. The part is complicated and difficult and requires good acting. Homer G. Nordling will play John Skinner, and will give a convincing per- formance.
 Florence Kicks is the flower of the family. She is bright, vivacious and easy to look at. She will also inherit five million dollars, and of course that makes her interest ing. Her personality however would make her winner even without the money, as she has a mind and will of her own, and knows what she wants and doesn't stop until she gets it. She is the fine type of the modern American girl whom many men fall for, but only the

RICHARD BARTHELWESS
 IS AT PALACE TONIGHT

Lima Basquette, the famous dan ger and the heroine of Richard Barthelmess' starring vehicle, The Wheel of Chance" the first Ma sional picture coming to the Palace Theatre tonight, reverses the usual order of things when she admits she would be dancer if she had her life to live over again.
 Ordinarily a man or woman, when questioned on such a sub ject, would say: If I had my life 5o live over, should have taken up this or that, rather than my own profession"
 Not so with Miss Basquette.
 This vivacious brunette, adopted laughter of Ernest Belcher, famous dancing instructor, believes dancing to be the most beneficial profess sion in the world.
 Everyone should dance" says she. 50 why not earn a living at something that is healthful? I've always thought that if I would go into business, I should prefer to deal in necessities rather than luxuries for the simple reason that it would be more certain.
 However, I started to dance long before I knew what I really want ed to do, but I still feel it the most important function in life"
 Miss Basquette is playing oppo- site Barthelmess for the second time, having scored a distinct hit in "The Moose" opposite the same star.
