"OUTCAST' is NEW TRIUMPH
FOR CORINNE GRIFFITH
Gives a Human Convincing Perform
ance as Girl Of the Streets

1t is always a severe test of mo-
ton pict d players ability and art
to bring 70 the silversheet role
previously created on the speaking
stage, especially if that role has be-
come identified as the high point in
a legitimate actresses career. But
Corinne Griffith need have no
qualms about having stepped into
the stellar role of the screen version
of .Outcast" the Henry Hubert
,Ds Res play, which first brought
Elsie Ferguson into overnight fame.
If Miss Griffith were not already in
the front ranks of the cinema's
dramatic stars, she, too, would have
gained her spurs by the excellent
performance she gives in "Outcast.
This highly interesting love story
has it's initial showing at the Plaza
Theatre in Milford Monday, Febru-
airy 25th. 1t will be shown for two
nights.
Miss Griffith is one of the few
emotional actresses who is equally
at home in comedy or tense drama.
Her light moments in the role of
the girl of San Francisco's tender
loin, who not only rises above her
own environment, but also becomes
an uplifting influence in the life of
the man she loves, were played with
whimsicality and charm. There is
always a convincing human quality
in this beautiful stars character de-
lineations, which marks her work
=. with intense sincerity.
Edmund Lowe also gives very
finished performance in "Outcast
in the role of Miss Griffith's lover,
and others who should be commend
ed for faithful interpretations OF
their roles are Kathryn Carver, who
makes the best of a rather unsym-
pathetic part, Louise Fazenda, al
ways a clever character actress
Huntley Gordon, Sam Hardy and
James Ford, a promising young
newcomer.
william A. Setter, who directed
is gripping story of regenerated
for First National, has retained
lie entertainment value of the
n play and has added several
seldom surpassed in pictorial
such as the pretentious

JUNEAU'S FRIENDSHIP GOES WITH
 AERIAL SURVEY.

There was genuine regret in Juneau Saturday when the Naval Alaska Aerial Survey party departed after spending several weeks in the City. Juneau enjoyed the presence here of the Naval planes and their offers and crews and the Gannet and her barge and their officers and crew. They are fine bunch of gentlemen and when they left here they took with them the friendship respect and admira- ton of all the people of this community. This applies to the warrant officers and enlisted men as well as to the highly efficient and extremely well liked commissioned officers. They a hard working but genial bunch of men, They missed no opportunity to have the planes and photographers at work and were always courteous and entertain ing gentlemen Considering the unusual inclemency of the weather this year they did an enormous amount of work and did it well, and they won the goodwill of all who in contact with them.
 The Alaska Aerial Survey party has done won derfully interesting and very useful work in Alaska The record it has made of the topography, forests and water power potentialties of Alaska is in- valuable. It has served to inform those engaged in development in the North and it has saved an enormous amount of expenses for them. The work will continue to the people of generations to come May the air mappers return again and again. And if Juneau has her way every of those who made up the 1926 and 1929 parties will be here again and again.
 Juneau's well wishes will follow the pesonnel of the Naval Alaska Aerial Survey wherever fate and the Navy Department may decree that they must go

The Influence of Slang.
(New York World.)


 Good slang that is, vire and expressive slang is irresistible says J. " T. Grieg, Englishman whose book, Breaking Priscian's Head, or English as She Will Be Wrote and Spoke" reviewed in The World the other day by Harry Sapeter Sooner later the best of it forces it's way into received colloquial and then the very best passes into the literary speech, enriching and vitalzing it like freshet. And since the slang coined from year to year in England is most of it. dwiny feeble stuff when compared with the output of America it is to America that must chiefly look in future for the replenishment and refreshening of our language" And it must be admitted that this attitude toward slang is quite popular with b eral grammarians Yet one may be permitted certain doubts about it. There are slang expressions, of course, that will probably remain in the language because they convey meanings that without them would be difficult to put into words. For gold digger" buck -passer," "double-cross" "bayhoo" and the like there are precise orthodox euuiva- Tents, and thus it is likely that they are here to stay But so far as most of the slang on the street goes, it is probably doomed despite its frequent pungency The trouble with it is that it applies to such restricted list of meanings Words are added, not new ideas hence there is no genuine enrichment of language. For example consider the smart retort Here is partial list of those we have had in the last twenty-five vears

Who Makes the Tariff.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

Cincinnati Enquirer)
 The contention of the United States and of every other country in the world has long been that tar ifs were purely domestic questions to be determined by the individual nation for itself In strict legal sense, this contention remains unchaanged. But the newer economies of the postwar period has taught us many lessons. We have learned that penalzing country for it's part in the war is a handicap to other nations that might wish to trade with the loser We have learned that it is good business to lend money to impoverished na- tions so as to enable them to build up their buying power again.
 We also are learning something of tariffs and how they should be made. Congress was fairly warned before the present special session that dras JIG upward revision of the tariff schedules would be unfortunate ln view of the determined attitude of foreign nations, to retaliate against higher Am- erican tariff wall The Congress was warned by the President and many authorities on world economics that prohbitive tariff would stife our export mar kets eventually.
 The murmurings, nay, the outcry, abroad show that these warnings were correct. Secretary Stim- son IS sending to high officials of the State De- partment as well as several Consuls General sta toned in Europe to Amsterdam to observe the tariff DISCUSSIONS at the International Chamber of Con- merce meetings The Department of Commerce also will have its representatives there to eyauate the criticism of the Hawley bill And of criticsn, there will be a plenty
 Tariffs are no longer mere domestic question Ihe international Chamber of Commerce went on record last year as favoring international com mission at Geneva to study tariff schedules and re- port on the effecs of various rates of import duties set up by different countries. That proposal was adhered to by number of the most competent manufacturers bankers and merchants in the United States Congress well may watch the trend ot foreign sentiment in this matter and give f,,r weight to the reports made by those observers from the State and Commerce Departments. The vast machinery of international trade must not be belc up Ill its progress because of the curt demands oj Isolated producers in this country who can see nc farther than this years profits

CLIMATE AND PEOPLE.

The American Mercury seems to favor the theory that climate has effective influence on the char acter of people. It supports the theory by compar- ing the British people of Canada and the British people of the Bahamas who were from similar fore bears. It said:
 When the American Revolution occurred number of the English colonists chose to remain loyal to the mother country, even though the maternal care had been some what lacking in nourshment. Some of these colonsts departed for Canada, while their cousins migrated to the Bahamas Both groups were of the same stock and their characteristics then similar, but today vast difference is observed in their de- scendants. The Canadians active, virile people whose mental aertness is shown among other ways by the fact that they are most emphatic in declaring, with side long gances at their friendly neghbor to the south, that they expect to be perpetually independent. The Bahamas are said to be distinctly indolent and easy-going
 Now this dissimilarity may be attributed to marked climatic differences, and, in fact, 1t has been accounted for on that ground by Professor Ellsworth Huntington the geographer. On the other hand, Dr. Mc- Collum calls attention to the fact that be- sides the cold and nvigorating climate of Canada there is the more important feature that the Canadian diet is rich in milk butter, cream and cheese in addition to
 
 The Bahamas in their enervatng climate partake of fruits and certain vegetables but seldom use dairy products. Dr. Nc Collum suggests that people will feel very different on these two types of diets"
 Without attempt to discuss any theory as to tn effect of climate diet character we suggest tha there is another if not more important reason fo the development of greater energy and virility il the descendants of those American Colonists wh went to Canada because they disapproved of tn Revolutionary War than developed in tn same class of people who went to the Bahama. Canada is great country with almost unmite resources and area. Her development offered em ployment to the minds and bodies of those wh located there. She had big work and lots of it fo her pioneer citizens And big work makes big me energetic and virile men. The situation in tn Bahamas was entirely different. The area and re sources were very much limited. The need and OF portunty there for a strong and virile race of me were not pressing. The situation would natural lead to atrophy.
