qui1 es, "In your opinion, who should decide how much trap line any one person should be entitled to register?" The trap pers contend that it would be an utter impossibility to al- locate trapping territory equ- ably. They further contend that the fur bearers are not distributed evenly and that while one man might have line ten miles long and get lots of fur another man might have a hundred miles and then not get an even break. These men on the Yukon wish to bring some influence to bear that would tend to curb the alleged vicious" activity of the Com mission. The matter has been taken up with the Secretary of Agriculture.

 They would like to lease Shu- yak Island, one of the Afognac groups northeasterly from Ko- diak Island. They believe they could live off the natural re- sources of the Island by com bining various possibilities, that include a few goats, cat tie, chickens, an abundance of berries they could can, etc. They would not interfere with any of the other small oper- ations on the Island and would take a chance of an occasional brown bear swimming across from Afognac to visit them. The Commissioner of the Gen. eral Land Office gives hope that these citizens might be able to lease the unappropri- ated portion of the Island, un- der the act of March 4, 1927.

(SpeciaI correspondence | c. E. Harris, of the Interior Department, is arranging a personally conducted tour to Glacier National Park and Alaska. The party will leave Washington August 2. Stops will be made at Ketchikan, Wrangell, Juneau and Cordova to be followed by the railroad excursion to the glaciers. 1 While the Forest Service of Alaska recognize the desirabil- ity of constructing a trail up the Unuk River valley, the Re- gional Forester realizes that the shortage of trail funds will not permit of this improvement in the immediate future. The major part of the trail funds allotted to Southeastern Alaska are being expended upon short and urgent projects, which are particularly important for min eral development. MT. Flory writes that in the Ketchikan region these projects provide trail from Helm Bay to Union Bay across the Cleveland Pen- insula, leading through reg ion known to be mineralized, and also a trail across Prince of Wales Island leading past the high mountain mass east of Klawak Lake and Lagoon, which is also known to be min- eralized.
 Prospectors-trappers located on the Yukon about fifty miles from Eagle, complain of a re- cent questionaire issued by the Alaska Game Commission, with the idea of formulating further regulations and allocat- ing trapping territory to a favored few. Question Is in-

EXQUISITE Vision Scene.

IT used to be Just saying that mar
= riages are made in Heaven" And
they made the saying nearly true by
filming a wedding in the clouds at
United Artists studios in Hollywood.
In a magnificent vision scene in tech
nicolor for Arthur Hammerstein's lavish
production, Lottery Bride" now at the
Rialto Theater, hundreds OF beautlIuI
girls and handsome men in gaudy COS
TUNES paraded in a wedding procession
through the skies behind jeanette Mac
Donald as the bride and John Garr1ck
as the bridegroom.
In order to obtain the difficult effects
for the colorful spectacle, a stan OF
experts spent days in preparation. The
ethereal backgrounds were designed by
william Cameron Menztes, supervising
art director. The trick shots and tech
nicolor were performed under the super
vision of Karl Freund, famous German
cameraman. Paul l.. Stein dlrected the
startling pageant.
The scene represents the vision that
comes to John Garrick when he Is lost
In the Northern ice fields after dir
igible crash and is in danger of frozen
death. He sees his own marriage to his
sweetheart, jeanette Macdonald, as 1t
would have taken place in Oslo, Norway,
with the peasants attending in holiday
f1nery.
Lottery Bride" was written by Her
bert Stothart and adapted for the screen
by Howard Emmett Rogers. 1t has a
pretentious musical score composed by
Rudolf Friml and set to lyrics by Jack
Brennan.

CHILDREN, many of them, Of varying
~ ages, white and colored. are fea-
tured In the new two-reel film, Food
Makes a Difference" sponsored by the
Bureau of Home Economics, and mace
and released recently by the Once OF
Motion Pictures, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Children who are thin and under
nourished, with STOPPING backs ana
winged shoulder blades, and children
who are fine and healthy, bright-eyed,
laughing, sturdy, well nourisneo, Win
straight backs and legs, appear in the
film, showing by contrast that 1000
does make a difference.
The fllm presents nutrition facts by
home economic specialists illustrated
pictorially by a succession OF children,
and proves these facts by laboratory
experiments conducted with white rats.
The rats show results Of poor diets In
much the same way as children 90
and grow rapidly and mature early.
Two white rats from the same litter
laboratory experiment. Meat, potato,
whole wheat, butter, sugar and salt-aH
good foods but not balanced diet
were fed to each. The second rat got
milk and vegetables in addition. The
result Is wildly and convincingly shown
on the screen.
The conclusions drawn from the film
are that defects resulting from poor
diet can be prevented by good diet
and that well nourished children are
happy, keen, energetic, and have
healthy appetites and sturdy bodies.
The film closes with series OF
scenes showing healthy children at play
and the caption: Grain, live stock,
vegetables, and all other crops of the
soil are necessary to our wellbeing,
but there is another crop infinitely
more precious, the crop of children"

THE weather of the various months
is juggled with reckless abandon at
the Paramount studios.
Next door to the winds of March are
the cold, drilling rains of October.
Just around the corner Is the sweltering
heat Of an August afternoon, and along
side is snowy January.
1t isn't merely a matter Of writing
such weather into the scripts. Because,
with the perfect control of the ventilat-
ing system on the Paramount sound
stages, any temperature can be auto
matically produced and, in order to
make the reactions of actors natural,
such atmoSpheres are produced.

stages where William Powell, Kay
Francis and Carole Lombard are re-
ceiving March breeZes through the open
window Of New York apartment for

Moon"
Each stage has its separate ventilat-
ing system, controlled from a central
dial board A continuous stream Of
washed air passes through each stage,
forced in through grated apertures in
the roof and drawn out from a space
in the walls near the floor.
Air brought into the stages Is first
sent through series of fine water
sprays which remove all dust and for
eign particles. It then passes through a
series of arrow-finned radiators into the
sound box, a catacomb arrangement
which allows the air to filter through,
but prevents machinery noise from be-
ing heard on the stage. From this
sound box the air is forced directly into
the stage.
The temperature Is controlled by the
sheet of water and the radiators. The
water used is circulated through an
ammonia refrigeration system and the
radiators are heated by steam.
