KID GLOVES" AT
 COLISEUM TONIGHT

Kid Gloves" is Warner Bros
 latest picture to feature that ster-
 ling actor, Conrad Nagel, who plays
 opposite Lois Wilson. Others in
 he excellent cast are Edward Earle
 Edna Murphy, Maude Turner Cor
 lon, Richard Cramer, Tommy Du- gan and John Davidson. This talkie feature opens at the Coli scum tonight.
 The storygis from the fertile pen of Fred Myton Robert Lord did the scenario and the megaphone was handled by the veteran Ray Enright Kid Gloves is a rattling underworld melodrama, showing Nagel as Kid Gloves" Smith, hi- jacker.
 He is in the hottest of a gun battle with members of rival gang when taxi stops in the midst of the fracas, one man escapes, but the other passenger, a pretty girl, lies unconscious on the floor of the car. What happens after Kid Gloves has restored her, been forced to marry her, tried to free her, failed, been framed as a murderer, and a number of equally disquiet- ing things-makes the story one of the most vivid and exciting of the year. The direction is extremely good and the photography is a credit to the veteran Reynolds. A show that will keep one on tip [ oe, inetaphorically speaking at least.

WEATHER CUTS ROAD WORK BY
 30 PER CEN I
5 e a son Abnormally Wet and Hampers Road Crews
 Says Engineer Taylor

Work on interior road projects by the Alaska Road Commission was curtailed approximately 30 pee cent by abnormal weather cond : tions, according to Ike P. Taylor. Assistant Engineer, who returned here today after about 50 days absence. He inspected projects throughout the interior, visiting Valdez, Chitina, Gulkana, the Chis- tochina route, roads in the Fair banks-Circle distric t, Mckinley Park, Wiseman, and Hot Springs, including the American Creek area.
 The summer was abnormally wet, MT. Taylor said. This made work on new projects unusually difficult and hampered maintenance and other work.
 Despite the. wet weather, Rich ardson Highway has been in fairly good shape all summer, he said. Steese Highway, connecting Fair boilhS eilo SiClCt COiIlDlcL6Q IdSJ year, was considerably cut up but remained passable for vehicular traffic.
 Graveling on that route was in progress on the north end and 20 miles will be completed by the end of the season. Two spurs to it are being constructed, one to Circle Hot Springs, eight miles long, ard the other to Nome Creek, 61s miles long.
 Work is progressing rapidly on the Zeppelin landing field at Fair banks, MT. Taylor said The city of Fairbanks is financing the work which is being done by the Road Commission. The Commission will construct road about three-uuar- ters of mile long connecting the field with the town.

LILAC TIME" OPENS
 AT PALACE TONIGHT

California may boast of its won. derful climate, its wonderful re. sources and it's wonderful people but when it comes to lilacs, Cali fornia must bow to the East This was discovered by John Me Cormick, producer of Lilac Time, Colleen Moore's First National spe- Icial production which comes to the Palace Theatre, beginning tonight Lilac Time" is an adaptation oi Jane Cowl and Jane Murfin's stage success and deals with the romance of a little French girl, who is ir love with a young British aviator The garden in her grandfather home where they pledge their troth is filled with lilac blossoms, hence the title.
 When filming on the production was started at First National stu dios at Burbank, California, Me Ccrmick instructed the property department to see that a number of lilac bushes were planted on the set. The property department reported back that although prac- tically everything under the sun was grown in California, lilacs had never been raised with any suc- cess. As result the bushes were ordered from New York state and rushed to the coast.
 Lilac Time" was directed by George Fitzmaurice and is said to be the greatest picture in which Miss Moore has ever appeared.

These eyes looked about with

Guy went sick with shock:
"Good God-Tom-YOUl"
Tom Burns looked in wild be
wilderment from one to the
other. And suddenly he recog-
nized Guy. He raised on his
elbow and with white, shaking
lips: "YOU! Stopped me! Damn
You'll I'd have made it,"
His voice rose and choked.
All at once he clapped his hands
over his face and began to SOD.
While they waited for the
ambulance, Guy got his coat
and threw 1t over the man.
He flung it off and Guy
thought: II don't blame him"
He wished that he had not
come back to work--wished ne
had not heard those footsteps.
He was sorry that Tom
Burns was caught.
Tom Burns was shot in the
thigh. The wound was slight.
AS for Guy. the bullet had
merely grazed his neck.
At the Emergency Hospital
they were treated.
And here they emptied Tom
Burns pockets. They took from
him $500 in currency-the
money that had been deposited
in the safe of the Eryce-E Elliot
offices for their weekly pay
roll.

Up in a small town near US,
there is q high school principal
who is wise and who knows
boys.
Last year, Tom, a first-year
lad, was in trouble continuously.
His pranks and after-schooA
activities led him many times
into personal contact with blue
coated officers of the law. And
he came to feel that policemen
we're species apart and one
to be dreaded and avoided and
outwitted by growing boys.
Then, late in the spring, the
idea Of appointing boys as trat'
fic officers to help their younger
mates across lanes Of traffic
after school, came into being.
And. Of course, the next step
was to choose reliable, trust
worthy boys to perform this
very responsible task.
Now the principal Of the
school knew wen, all the mis-
demeanors Of Tom. He knew
that his unhappy contact with
policemen had ensued because
he deserved that contact, BUT
Tom was the first boy chosen
by him to act as q member of
the schoolboy patrol.
Teachers gaSped. Mates star
ed round-eyed and incredulous.
Even the parents, who had
been blind to much, were mildly
astonished. But Tom was given
his belt, his instructions, his
authority and his police whistle,
to be used if any adult should
disobey his stop signal and he
should need a policeman.
And Tom, glowing with pride,
and perhaps just a grain of
wonder, strobe into the center
of the street and saw to it that
automobiles regulated their stop
ping and going SO that the
smaller children might cross in
safety.
Tom was a part Of the law,
a keeper of order and regula-
tionS and all at once he began
to get the point Of view Of the
bluecoated men he had so ASST
duouSly bothered and deftly
lodged the early part Of the
winter and spring. Now he was
one Of them. His job was to
protect younger children, and
in q buSineSs-like way, to regIl-
late traffic. He loved it and he
swelled up with pride.
His desire to lead and be
seen. and to be envied has been
turned into channels for good.

Guiding a Boys Activities

the law would do so just as
readily as he would have broken
1t under the pressure Of care
less companions whose idea Of
courage and prowess was to
take a dare, any kind Of a dare.
Many a desire to act, to
achieve, can be turned into
legitimate channels If we but
trust the youngsters a little.
Give the reckless, law-contemp-
tuous boy a chance to get in
the spotlight through upholding
a law, or protecting someone
younger or weaker, and he will
prove worthy Of your faith.
Would you have chosen Tom
for a boy officer? Perhaps not.
but one man did and he has
been amply repaid for his trust
and knowledge Of boys.
