Automobile Producers Expect Increase
In Sales Total During Spring Months

determined largely by the March out
put. The January total, according to
the official figures of the National
Automobile Chamber of Commerce,
amounted to 298. 325 and showed drop
of 80 per cent from the production of
January one year ago.
February may show somewhat bet
ter, but increases are likely to be cred
tied to the lowest-priced division. The
total for all makes will receive its big
gest bulge from the Ford Jump, which
was from $500 to 1000 daily during the
first week in February.
There has been no further change in
the factory volume in the last week.
Excepting Ford and the low-priced
division, cars are being turned out at a
rate figured to be slightly above one
third of capacity.

TALkIES IN ENGLISH
RESENTED BY FRENCH
eve Can't Understand, Money
Backw Is Cry After Ameri-
can Offerings.
By the Associated Press.


PARIS, January 1i-French re-
sentiment at American talkies in Eng
lish reached its height at the first few
showings of the Moulin Rouge, just
converted into movie house.
The incidents are cited by newspapers
as evidence that talkies in a foreign
tongue won't go there.
About all the French got was series
of chapter headings, long dialogues and
fast. laughable repartee. These were
frequently covered by a single sentence
in French, flashed on the screen after
the fun was over.
Translation Give us French show!
We can't understand it; Money backp'
were cries that disturbed several per-
formances, and on one occasion started
a small riot. Police were called and
some spectators arrested. Two rows OF
seats were broken.
Sabotage by rivals was charged by
the Moulin Rouge manager, Pierre Fou-
cret. Four of those arrested, he said,
admitted they had been hired to start
row.
1t also was explained that the theater
tried to get French talkie, "but there
was none" A poster now warns the
public that the talkie is in English, with
only subtitles in French.

Electric Light Hastens Wheat.

The Canadian Agriculture Depart
ment at the Ottawa Experiment Station
is conducting experiments in the direc-
ton OF improving the wheat crop of
the country and by crossing the grain
and producing hybrids it is hoped to
produce harder varieties and possibly a
grain which will grow two crops a year.
Some trials of stimulating the growth
of the seed by the use of banks of cleo
trio lights have resulted in the produce
ton of the hybrids in one-half the
usual time. Thus experiments which
usually require eight years are being
done in four. The element of time in
this work is very important.

Special Dispatch to The star.
DETROIT, February 24.-In spite of
slackened sales, which have held down
production since November, executives
of the automobile companies expect
that March will usher in the usual rush
to buy new cars, the more so because
severe Winter conditions are believed to
have created backlog of deferred pur-
chasing that will manifest itself with
the coming of favorable weather.
The hoped-for upturn will find the
distribution end well stocked up and
dealers will welcome an opportunity to
work off SURPRISES of both new and used
cars that have been accommodating for
the last four months.
This possibility, it is calculated, has
to be counted against first quarter
operations, the scope of which will be

"GROUNDHOG" JOHNSON
 MAKING ANOTHER STAKE
(Juneau Empire)

Frank Jackson, widely known throughout the Cassiar district as Grounding" Jackson, is in a fair way to make another stake as large as the one he made some IS years ago when he located the Groundhog Mountain coal deposits in northern British Columbia, ac- cording to recent arrivals from WrangelI.
 Last summer Jackson discovered some good-looking rock that car ries high value in gold and silver, about four miles up the Clearwater River, a tributary to the Stikine. The prospect looked so promising that Dr. T. Mandy, of the Depart ment of Mines of British Columbia, recommended an appropriation to build a trail to the property. Dr. Mandy is the Provincial mining ex- pert who visited Juneau in Decem- Der to ascertain the late develop ments up the Taku.
 About IS years ago, Jackson, act ing on information received from the Indians of the country, located and staked what is probably one of the largest anthracite coal de- posits west of the Rocky Noun tains. The claims are located about half way between Hazelton and Telegraph Creek, and were Crown granted to the company which was formed to exploit the coal. Jack son received upwards of $20,O0O for a controlling interest in the claims. He transported champagne to Grounding to celebrate the suc- cess of his enterprise.

MINK RAISING ASSUMES
 GROWING PROMINENCE
Alaska Yukon Mink Association Holds Well-Attended Meeting
 in Juneau This Week

Giving vent to an industry that has been making rapid strides from an obscure position in the last few years, J. E. Ames, president of the Alaska ukon Mink Association, ex- tolled to the members of the Juneau Chamber of Commerce of the pres ent s100,000 enterp e-mink ranching in the Mendenhall Valley, within a radius of ten miles of Ju- neau. Other members of the or ganization, Bruce Brown, secretary treasurer of the local field and A G. Williams, director from Peters burg, expressed their gratitude to the chamber for their kindly coop eration in advancing the interests of fur farming in Southeastern Alaska.
 In bringing about the admirable progress enjoyed by the ranchers it was necessary to advertise in a half dozen popular magazines that cater solely to teietsrm egfidhet gotiw-s solely to the merits of the indus try. Not only does this organiza- tion spread their progress in the states but it advertises judiciously in foreign magazines which in turn benefits the industry wherever it is being established or maintained
 During a part of the discussion at the chamber meeting, MT. Ames told that his organization is play ing an important role in stabiliz- ing the fur farming industry in the country; in aiding the different ranchers in the most modern meth ods of the business, and helping them secure the best possible prices for their fur. Transportation of fur-bearing animals is yet in an adoleseent stage, and with the as sistance of the chamber, MT. Ames feels that conditions existing in this respect can be easily ameliorated.
 J. Sutherland, who has been fox farming in this vicinity in recent years, also attended the meeting.- Stroller's Weekly.

The Sentinel blundered last week was leaving to take a position as engineer on the new river boat on the Taku. The item should have read that he was leaving to become the skipper on the new boat. In the early days MT. Kalkins was en- gagged in gasboat navigation on the Stikine. The first gasboat that ever went up the Taku was taken up by MT. Kalkins in September, 1914. It was the old Winifred of the Stikine which made a special trip in order to ascertain how far up stream the Taku was navigable.
