By N, P. ],

ACE HIGH
A toast to the girls who can sing like Jeritza;
Another to Eollywood's beauties so fair;
To the quaint and artistic,
The wierd moderrissic,
The gay and the solemn the plump and the spare.
To the keen intellectual, scholarly maidens,
TO the fur bearing, platinum treasures we see;
They're fine and I love 'em
But far, far above 'em,
Is the girl who looks pleasant ard listens to me.

JUNGLE TOMS CABIN"
 OPENS PALACE TONIGHT

A fortunate acquisition to the li- brary at Universal City of an out cf-print architectural volume on old Southern historical architecture was responsible for the building of a most faithful reproduction Of an authentic scene ever recorded in films.
 The scene was the slave auction rooms of Beard & Calhoun, noted ante-bellum auctioneers, which is but one of the amazing settings for Uncle Toms Cabin, the man. moth production which opens to- night at the Palace theatre.
 Students of Southern social his tory declare that the reproduction is startlingly real. Four auctioneers are busily disposing of the human inaninate chattels of the St. Glare estate to an interested crowd of traders, stockmen, dandies, planta- tion owners. Southern belles and labor agents.
 In one corner a goatish auctioneer descants on the virtues of a hand some mulatto girl to group of snirking young bloods; on another platform 8 second auctioneer dis poses of collection of furniture and hardware; at third station squealing and believing livestock are the points of interest; while in fourth corner poor Uncle Tom is being transferred from a comfort able home to an uncertain and fa- tai future.
 The brutal Simon Legree stalks importantly through the crowd ex- amining the miserable, blac ok wretches who stand in quivering groups, not knowing what the next minute will bring. On the walls are handbills describing goods for auc- tion, calling attention to runaway slaves and describing the virtues of various and divers spirituous pro- ducts.
 So faithfully has director Harry Pollard filmed this scene that the babel of noises and the raucaus voices of the bellows-lunged auc- tieers are almost audible.

CRIME WAVE DUE TO DOPE,
 FISH CLAIMS

WASHINGTON, Jan. Dope is chiefly responsible for the crime wave of such terrible proportions in America" Representative Fish, Republican, of New York, declared.
 He announced that he will re- quest Congress to pass two bills de- signed to curb the illicit drug traf- fic.
 One would permit the payment of money to any person who gives the government information con- cerning violation of the anti narcotic laws. The other would provide deportation of any alien who violates the laws.
 Only when the nations of the earth place humanitarian and moral motives above the financial reve- nues derived from the opium busi- ness and limit drugs solely to the amounts required for medicine and science can the dope traffic be suppressed, Fish stated.
 The League of Nations has pro- posed an international conference to limit drug manufacture, but has planned no restrictions on the amount of opium grown. This would mean, in the opinion of ob servers here, that there still would be vast oversupply of the poison ous dope. Neither will the leagues present program restrict some of the manufactured drugs which the United States already prescribes.

 The mountains. which are ex- ceedlngly rugged, range from 5000 to 6,00O feet in height with an oc- casional peak reaching from 1000 to 5000 feet above sea level. They had not been explored until the airplane came into use, and then only within the last two years. The most recently discovered lake lies within thirty-five miles of Ketchi- kan and constitutes an ideal water power site. It was immediately placed under government license to the zellerbach interests It was a deciding factor in locating their plant near that city. This particu- lar lake, together with three others in the same locality. will produce 6000o horsepower, all of which will become a part of the Kstchiksn plant.
 Lesson in Cooperation
 This instance is eloquent of the cooperation between the various government bureaus operating in Alaska. The Navy Department supplied the airplanes. flying per sonnel and the mother ship from the naval base at San Diego, Calf The Geological Survey and the De- partment of Agriculture paid all the expenses involved in the survey.

THE FLYING FOOL" IS
 AT COLISEUM, TONIGHT

Rising to a tremendous climax that will make most fans gasp, "Tne Flying Fool Pathe's all-talk- ing air drama starring William Foyd, is said to be one of the most thrilling and entertaining pic lures produced this season. AL though the story has an aviation background and though it reaches great dramatic crescendo with the scene in the air it is not entirely an air story. It is a human drama, which combines pathos and comedy, played by cast of cap- able actors and moulded into fine entertainment.
 In his role of the Flying Fool, MT. Boyd is seen as devil-may- care stunt flier whose weakness is women. They have been his chief diversion since the days in France when he was an American ace, but he has never fallen in love. His motto is find 'em, fool 'em and forget em!" This he proceeds to do with amazing success until he decides to save his brother from what he believes is a designing ca baret singer. It is at this point that complications set in and Bill finds that for once he is not mas ter of the situation. The climax of the story is tremendous and must be seen to be appreciated.
 Boyd is said to be excellent as the heart t-breaker daredevil. Marie Provost is as captivating and con vincing as ever as the cabaret girl a type of role that suits her person. ality perfectly, and she also sings

AIaskdn Timber Lease
 Threatens Canada's Lead
 n Ne,usprint Industry
Forestry Service Negotiates $lO,0OO,0OO Contract With Pacific Coast Manufacturers and Users for Nearly 100000 Acres; Deal Promises to Add 10000 to the Population of the Territory.

Tn a recent issue O. the New York Herald Tribune, an article by Robert Frothingham, visitor to Alaska last summer, recently ap- peared. Accompanying the article was layout of six columns show ing a National forest road near Wrangell built by the Federal Gov ernment in Southeast Alaska, pie ture of Juneau, which will be the center of the proposed newsprint development, picture of logging camp in the Tongass National For est, and picture of two lakes dis covered by the Naval aerial map pers.
 The complete article is as fol- lows:
 The recent award by the United State government of two contracts aggregating more than $10000,001 for 10000,000,000 board feet o1 Alaskan spruce and hemlock for manufacture of pulp for newsprint, constitutes move of marked sig nificance in the fortunes of Alaska It points the way for the transfer of the newsprint industry of the United States from Canada to Alas ka as the principal source of fu- ture supply
 It is conservativeiy estimated by the United States Forest Service in Alaska, which conducted the details of this transaction, that it will re- suit in increase of not less than 10000 in the population of South east Alaska, which will be concen- trated in Juneau. the capital and the city of Ketchikan. These two immense plants, the construction of which will start next spring, will be the first of their kind to be es- tablished in Alaska and will give employment to 5000 persons, prac- tically all of whom will be brought in from the States, including an excellent opportunity for skilled pa- per makers. Incidentally, these two big deals represent another triumph for Federal bureau team work which is story in itself.
 Most significant of all, however, it signalizes the abandonment of archaic methods of territorial trade development and the inauguration of definite sales policy, for which Col. w. B. Greeley, former chief of the United State Forest Service, is largely responsible. The success of that policy is indicated in the char acter of the competitors, including the International Paper Company the largest manufacturer of paper in the United States, which figured in the bidding for leasehold of near ly 100000 acres of the finest spruce and hemlock forests in southeastern Alaska. A combination represent ing The San Francisco Chronicle" and The Los Angeles Times" will establish their mill at Juneau, and the zellerbach group, the largest newsprint manufacturers on the Pa- cific Coast. who will locate at Ket- chikan. Each plant will have a daily capacity of 500 tons of news paper.
 U. s. Puts Statesmen on Job
 It is generally admitted by the more thoughtful and forward -look- ing Alaskans that this latest exhi-

bition of salesmanship on the part of the national government comes near to settling the question of the advantages of governmental leasing of lands over actual ownership by : the exploiters, for which eX-Chiei Forester Greeley feels measurably proud
 i Mir. Greeley says that having wasted nearly five years listening tc propositions from promoters who came to Alaska with the idea that it would be comparatively easy tc obtain water power and timber rights from the government, witr the expectation of returning to the States and organizing companies tc finance their schemes, he decided to ascertain what might be ac- l complished by interesting nationally known concerns of expereince and financial ability in the advantages of Alaska's forests s.11i water power 1 Accordingly B. F. Heintzleman assistant district forester for Alaska was sent to the States for years selling campaign. As a result, five large corporations became suffi- ciently interested to send their en- gineers and timber experts to as- certain the facts at first hand. Ad- vertising for bids followed.
 In other words, the United States government is out for business on competitive basis instead of hand ing out Alaskan "plums" to party favorites. And, when the conser- vation policies of the government are taken into consideration, the far-reaching benefits to Alaska ! will be quite apparent. All the engineering work prerequisite to the development of these two plants is completed and it is expected that construction will start next spring. The consumption of newsp T i n alone in the United States necessi- tates the cutting of approximately 1000 acres of pulp timber every working day. Conservative esti- mates of the forestry department place the total volume of virgin timber in Southeast Alaska at &C., 000,000,000 board feet composed en- tirely of pulp wood species: Vest ern hemlock and Sitka spruce, af- fording an annual cut of 1,500 GOO cords of pulp wood of 600 board feet each. This is sufficient for the production of 100000 tons of newsprint paper annually, without depicting the supply.
 Up to now the newsprint needs of the United States have been SUD- piled by eastern Canada, which has reached it's maximum development, while the consumption of newsprint continues to grow rapidly. The in- dustry has shown a consistent de- velopment based on the law of sup ply and demand. The argument has been advanced that the gov ernment withdrawal of timber and other lands from private owner ship constitutes a barrier to the investment of private capital in leases. Of greater significance, how ever. is the fact that the continued expansion of the pulpwood indus try has brought the Pacific North west, British Columbia and Alaska within economic range of the great

PROPOSES CHANGE
IN DRY AMENDMENT
MiChaeISon Wants Congress
to Have Exclusive Power
in Regulating Rum.

A resolution directing the judiciary
committee to submit to the House a
proposal to amend the eighteenth
amendment by vesting in Congress
exclusive power for regulating intoxi-
eating liquors was offered yesterday by
Representative Michaelson. Republican.
of Illinois, who described himself as
neither a wet nor a dry.
The Illinois member, who was in
dicted and later freed on liquor charge
in Florida more than year ago. said
he had concluded the people in the
country held the eighteenth amendment
and dry laws responsible for much of
the graft, corruption and crime which
has become general"
The resolution would lay the ground
work for Nation wide or State referen-
dums on the eighteenth amendment
and its substitution to give Congress
exclusive power to tax, license, regu-
late or suppress the manufacture, sale,
transportation expectation and impor-
tation of intoxicating liquors"
In statement inserted in the Con-
Cressional Record Michaelson said the
plan would overcome the existing evils
of the eighteenth amendment and the
dry laws" The regulation of liquor
traffic, he continued. was a police regu-
1ation and should not be in the Consti-
tuition.
Il think the people have reached the
conclusion" he said, that the endeav6r
to make the country dry by force is
weakening the foundation of our politi-
cal institutions and creating precedents
which later will result in great harm to
the country"
Another proposal seeking to modify
the existing dry laws was introduced
BY Representative Mcleod, Republican.
Michigan His measure would prohibit
padlocking.
