Competitive Exam For Graduates To
 Decide Scholarship
YOUTHS GRADUATED IN 1881 MAY WIN FREE SCHOLARSHIP AT ALASKA COLLEGE

The following notification has been sent by President Bunnell to all high school superintendents in the Territory:
 Mrs. Margaret R. Phipps, donor of the scholarship of $500 per year for four years, has decided, now that the fourth years payment has been made. to make the award in a different way.
 The competitive examination fea- ture will be the basis of the award. Instead of an examination once in four years. there will be an exam nation each year, and the winner will receive the sum of s150 per year for each year of a four-year course at the Alaska College.
 The examination is for boys only. members of the graduating classes in the several high schools in the Territory who are graduated at the 1891 commencement.
 The examinations must be given at the same time, on the same day, to all those eligible and who de- sire to take the examination.
 Superintendents are asked to ad- wise the boys of the 1881 graduat- ing class about the examination and notify the college how many sets of examination papers will be re- quired.
 High school girls in the Terri tory feel they are not getting an equal show with the boys and look forward to the time when some gen. erous gentleman will do as much for the girls as Mrs. Phipps is do- ing for the boys.

LEGION CURTAILS MEETINGS DURING SUMMER SEASON

At the regular meeting of the Wrangell post of the American Le- zion, held Wednesday night in the dugout, it was decided to to aban- don one meeting during the summer and hold but one meeting a month, this on the second Wednesday of each month. This plan will be in effect from April 1 to October 1. during which time a great many of the members are absent from town much of the time.
 Permission to make alterations and repairs to the dugout, which is a federal building situated on gov ernment property, was received from Marshal White, and a con- mittee was appointed to survey the building and decide just what it needed. Tentative plans include res pairs to the foundation, moving a partition and raising the ceiling, re- wiring, and whitewashing the ex- terior.
 A committee was also appointed graves of ex-service men in the Red- mems cemetery, with the idea of securing headstones provided by the government.
 Hot dog sandwiches. doughnuts and coffee, a few hands of cards and reminiscing followed the business meeting.

The Alaska Packers Association announced last week that there will be no sailing ship among their fleet to Alaska this year. The Star of Alaska was the last ship to spread her canvas over the wastes of the North Pacific and Boring Sea. and she, among others, is re- tired from active service. Perhaps the movies will get her.
 Each year sees a ship retired from the fleet that lays moored in the Packers shipyard in Alameda. The Star of Greenland, well known in Wrangell, was sold to Sweden for a schoolship last year; her name was changed to the Abraham Ryd- berg The Star of Russia went to the south sea trade some years ago. The Japanese bought the Star of Iceland to break her up for the iron in her hull.
 Names that smacked of salthorse and southeasters were the ships of the Packers fleet. There was the Star of Falkland, Iceland, Bengal, Greece, Russia, Italy. Peru, Chile. England, Greenland, Poland, Shet- land, and Lapland.
 The Star of Chile, formerly the Scottish Lady, was sold to a mo- tion picture outfit in California to make "a Roman holiday for the fans. Legend says that the captain who was hired to wreck her lost his nerve at the last moment; he was too good seaman to deliberately wreck a ship. Someone else had to do it.
 Not all of the Star ships met with such an ignominious fate, however. The Falkland was wreck ed at Unimak Pass, gateway to Der ing Sea, when she tried to go about; that was in 1928. The Star of Poland was wrecked somewhere in Japanese waters during the war, so the story goes. She was in govern ment service,
 There are men in Wrangell who remember the sea tragedy of the
  Star of Bengal. She put out from the Packers aannery at Wrangell some time in October. 1909, with a hold full of canned salmon and some hundred or so of Chinese; about 115' souls in all. Off Coronation Is- land, in the tow of two tugs. al southeaster began to blow.
 IT is hard fo opt tha story ripbf after all these years. There was a high sea running before a wind which drove toward the rocky shore. The two tug captains couldn't agree. Captain Wagoner of the Bengal was hoarse from believing to them-he was still hoarse when he reached Wrangell to telegraph the news of the disaster to San Francisco.

Four men volunteered to take line ashore. Fred Mattson, who Is in Wrangell now, was one of the four They made the beach and rigged line for the brooches buoy, but the ship struck as the first man came ashore on the line, and the remainder of the crew was compell- ed to swim. Thorolf Anderson and Pat Loftus were among them. The orientals clung to the wreck until the decks cracked, tossing salmon cases high in the air.
 The Star of England was the last of the sailing ships to berth at Wrangell. She arrived early in May, 1926, and took the final pack from this cannery.

Lowry Gets
Ovation at
the Civic
Let Us Be Gay Gives the
Playhouse Its SmarteSt
Opening.
BY WALTER D. HICKMAN

By WALTER ID. HfChMAN
IT seems to me that Judith Lowry
a and those associated with her in
Let Us Be Gay. the Rachel Croth-
ers' comedy, has given the Civic
theater at the Playhouse its smart
est seasons opening since I have
been telling you about this organ
ization.
Tonight will be just as important
as the Saturday night opening with
both houses to capacity. Mrs. Lowry
was accorded the greatest ovation
that I have ever seen at any Civic
theater performance and there have
been several big ones.
was glad to see this wonderful
woman give such a natural and
splendid performance to such an
extent that it will guarantee now
and then visit of a great guest
star to the Cicic theater.
The guarantee is that the frs
guest star has more than delivered
as Mrs. Boucicault, a caustic ole
modern who has tongue of fire
and independence which abou
causes a riot.
Mrs. Lowry makes this comedy /;
smart comedy. And that is all tina
it is-just smart theater which will
make you laugh away your cares.

tation Of the Fanchon and Marco
units, Dream House" it seems that
a very good start has been made.
The first unit is not elaborate in
scenery, but it has a pretty swift
tempo, not too many chorus num-
bers and a nice mixture of variety
acts, some very familiar in this city.
I am willing to record that Peg
Leg Bates, colored man who has
only one leg, is one of the best
dancers I have ever seen in my life.
Even after he has stopped the
show by dancing with his good leg
and his peg" leg, he states that he
hopes he has won by ability and
not "by sympathy for my affection"
He handles his peg leg as per-
fectly as his good one and he goes
in for the most difficult Of steps.
Here is a real dancer and deserves
his triumph.
Another big hit this week is the
disappearance Of Ed Resener and
his band back for an overture. This
time it is a collection Of Romberg's
melodies
Resener is handling himself bet
ter than ever and seems to be more
positive in getting what he wants
from his men. All quite a hit
meaning Resener and the band.
I never have cared for the three
children, Hague, Hague and Hague,

They have eliminated some of that

we at last agree in one thing-it is
Carlos Suzan. If you have not
read this old timer, your verdict
will be that-Garbo's greatest.
Never has Carlo been called upon
to wear as many different costumes
as she does in "Suzan Lennox." The
beginning of the picture is filmed
with telling realistic effect.
Here is lust drab life, terrible lie
on a farm in Minnesota Il think l
have the right state) and you feel
the cruelness and unfairness OF
Suzan's illegal entrance into the
world.
But as the dumb cat first Susan
begins her experiences with men
when she makes her dash for free
dom, she loses that quality OF
natural pity which begets pity.
The movie version permits Carlo
to be too much Carlo Qittle too
much Anna Christie if you please
to be an individual Susan.
Clark Gable is the Rodney of the
story and he does a good healthy
lob of it when he is just a nice
designer of bridges with a desire to
buy ring for the misunderstood
LenoX.
And when he thinks he discovers
that his Susan is just one of those
women" who bounce from man to
maxwell, Susan, decides to be
bad. And is she bad? Yes in a
too theatrical way.
To me the greatest defect of
Susan Lenox' is that it went
Hollywood instead of David Ora
ham Phillips.
Don't let me keep you from see
ing CARLOS Susan. I don't want
to and I couldn't because Susan"
with Greta and Clark are playing
to what is generally known capacity.

going to be a wide difference of
opinion, depending entirely upon
how we'll the person knows Susan
