RKO's version of "The Silver Horde" is not all that it might be, judging by the remarks of Alaskans who have seen the picture; several of the film magazines have criticized it severely, also. They laud the scenery, however, and the fish run at Anan. If it weren't for the sal mon the picture would be "a flop.
 Evelyn Brent was sadly miscast for the role of Cherry Melotte. Rex Beach portrays her as an attractive and accomplished faro dealer with a big heart, sophisticated but not hard boiled. Why must Hollywood paint it's characters with a single daub of color? The dance hall girl of the early boom days was an inter- esting type, if we may believe the oldtimers. Some of them were tall ented entertainers whose mamas met them at the stage entrance af- ter the performance, and a few of the Dawson girls later starred on Broadway. Marjorie Rambeau was one.

 Smith made an error in judgment when he started overland from Ne mana to Point Barrow with snow motors and a caravan of sleighs to deliver supplies for the Wilkins Po- lar Expedition. It was not entirely Smiths fautl, however, and he re- trieved himself by pushing on with dogteams. His outfit was lost fon days and food had to be dropped to inn from airplanes. but he de- livered the goods.
 Tn the Dawson News of recent date Ray Stewart, oldtimer of the vintage of 1890. describes the "sour- dough thermometer, an instrument comprised of five small bottles con- taining pure quicksilver, coal oil, Jamaica ginger, Perry Davis Pain Killer, and St. Jacobs oil.
 When the "quick" froze the pros pector out in the hills knew that the temperature was 40 below zero; the coal oil threw out spears of Ice at 50 below; Jamaica ginger at 56; Pain Killer between 65 and TO, and St. Jacobs Oil somewhere in the sos.

Pioneers Send Thanks For Donations From Wrangell Citizens
DONATIONS PASS $2OOO MARK; $20 EACH FOR OLD BOYS FOR CHRISTMAS WH00PEE

Santn Claus was kind to the Old Boys in the Pioneers Home at Sitka this Christmas. They were enabled, through donations from the various towns in Alaska, to walk the streets with money jingling in their pock- cts on Christmas morning. In a letter from Supt. Kettleson of the home, addressed to The Sentinel, the citizens of Wrangell are thanked for their part in this annual event. The letter says, in part:
 "The Old Boys, needless to say, are very deeply thankful for this wonderful spirit Ut goodwill shown on the part of the citizens through out the Territory, and if you will kindly convey their thanks through your paper it will be greatly appre- ciated.
 "Mr. Gross deserves a great deal of credit for his part in this drive. as it is not done for profit, as some may think, as he does not charge the pioneers of the home for going to his show, but lets them in free.

Sport for Sports Sake
 DO we not still secretly delude ourselves that, though other na- tions may beat us, it is because they take sport too seriously where as we have attained just that happy medium of playing for the game s .ss ake without striving by exces- i've assiduity to produce super men?
 T seem to detect something of this note running through the re- ports of the A. A. A. champion ship meeting, in which the writ CTS justifiably express pride in the achievements of men like Burgh- ley, Page, Rampling and others but accept almost unprotestingly our complete failure to jump or throw things as high or as far as the men of other countries can.
 Tt is implied that there is some thing 'un-English' about these pur- suits. If the discus is un-English it is equally Hungarian and un- Austrian. The arms that can throw a cricket ball or toss the caber should be equally capable of put ting the weight or throwing the hammer, if properly trained. Civ en the right encouragement and sthe right organization we should be as competent to produce cham pions in these islands as are the people of Germany or France or Finland.

 An Irishman won the last Olym- pic hammer throw championship, but otherwise the British Isles of fered little opposition to the Ameri- cans and the Scandinavians in the field events.
 The Yankees, by contrast with England, suffered in 1928 from a lack of championship running tal- ent. American entries won the shotput, broad jump, high jump, pole vault and discus throw, but captured only one flat-race, the 400 meters. AS result our coach- es have been concentrating on the development of runners like Wy koff, Simpson, Toppino, Williams, Eastman and others for the cam paign to retrieve lost foot-racing laurels in the 1892 Olympics.
