''SKIPPY" NOW
AT THE CIRCLE

A Joyous story of youth, frolcking
in happy boyhood on the screen
is "Skippy," the feature attraction
now at the Circle. Jackie Scarf of
Our Gang Comedy" fame has the
role of Skippy in this production.
Other child stars featured in the
cast are Robert Coogan, Mitzi Green
and Jackie Scarf.
Robert Coogan, the 5-year-old
brother of Jackie Coogan, is per-
haps one Of the few children in all
the world who never has wanted to
be motion picture actor. The fact
that he is now in "Skippy" doesn't
change his viewpoint in the least.
He has been willing to go along
working as Sooky, pal of Percy
Crosby's boy hero in Paramount's
production Of "Skippy," as long as
there was opportunity for play be-
tween work periods.
Despite the fact that Jackie has
relgned for years as the screens
greatest child actor, Robert has
never cared for, nor had much to
10 WIN InOUlOn pictures.
Roberts only experience with
pictures came when he visited the
Tom Sawyer" set a few times
during the production period. He
has seen only three or four films
during his life. Even while watch
ing tom Sawyer" Robert had his
doubts about picture acting. It
makes a person do things he
wouldn't ordinarily do, he argued
IN his childish way, when he said
he would much rather be Huck Finn
than Tom Sawyer because Tom got
a spanking in his part. Roberts
parents have never considered q
screen career for their youngest
son, despite the fact that he looks
identically as Jackie did when he
made his screen debut at the same
age in THE Kid"
Robert has spent his early years
bouncing off the springboard in the
Coogan pool and acquiring the ap-
petite Of a young wolf. This and
play formed his main interests in
life. During Paramount'S search
for Sooky to become the pal of
Jackie Cooper as Skippy, several
calls were made upon the Coogans
to permit Robert to make a screen
test. Jack Coogan, the father
finally gave in. Take him over and
let them find out he won't do and
they'll be satisfied" he told his wife
To the utter amazement of Mr.
and Mrs. Coogan, Roberts test
more than satisfied officials and he
was chosen for the part.
The surrounding attractions or
the Circle program include an organ
solo, a vitaphone short reel, a news
feature and the N. V. A. benefit
feature, Stolen Jools."

acterizations are to be in the hand
Of Ricca Scott Titus and G. c. Rob

Mrs. Titus has an established rep
utation as character actress boil

Ned McCobb's Daughter" is de-
Scribed as native" play becausc
of the fact that the characters are
distinct American types, including
as they do, New Englanders ano
representatives of New York's Sixth
avenue, who come together in tht
home of Captain Ned McCobb, who
is the operator of a Kennebet
river ferry boat.
The unraveling of the plot depicts
the melodramatic action and re-
actions which result from the inner
relations of the sturdy down-east-
ern Captain McCobb and his daugh-
ter with certain more or less Grim
inally inclined New Workers.

Here Is a New One

A movie fan in Brooklyn reading
that Eddie Sutherland was making
a picture of June Moon" promptly
wrote him a letter and inclosed
what he thought should be the lyrics
for the song June Moon" The
writer said that this was his first
chance to do something "big" and
the contribution was so unconscious
ly funny that Sutherland forwarded
same to his friend Ring Lardner,
author of the play. You'll find them
in print any day now.

BILL JONES NEEDS MORE INCOME

Winter is approaching and the childrens school expense will be higher this year than last. Bill looks forward to less income in the regular way. Many industries have shifted to the "zigzag" plan for their employees in an effort to help everyone thru the winter. This means that each employee will have about half as much in come. Prices of clothing and food have come down some, but not in 1t isn't bringing him any income There will be just as much coal to buy and rent to pay. Bill must have more money than he can expect from his usual sources.
 He has some money in the Sav- ingS bank drawing 3 per cent in- tereSt While it is true that money was put there for a rainy day. l isn't bringing him any income worth mentioning; and $20 or $40 or even $100 of that wouldn't go very far on rainy day" He needs more money coming in
 Bill Jones is the average Amer ican. He knows that many a man in exactly his financial condition has invested part of his money and has made enough return to give him the added income he needed But Bill knows there is some speculation with every in vestment, no matter what it is or how good it sounds.
 He doesn't know whether he should take any chances on either his savings account or his present income. Of course his savings ac- count is not absolutely safe; he realizes more money has been lost by depoSitors thru bank failures during the last 10 years than

UNcORRECTED RECORD As ID HEIGHT 0F MC-
 k|NLEY, DIRTY LIBEL

The recent airplane flig h t across Mt. Mckinley has aroused
 much interest among Alaskans everywhere, and the published single, uncorrected record of a paragraph attached to the wings lof a plane, giving about 22,OOo feet as the height of the Big Hill is dirty libel, asserts D. E. Stubbs, of the Mckinley station, |Who informs The Gateway that: T was in Fairbanks when the plane left on the trip and when lit returned, and protested stoutly |giving out the incorrect reading of one instrument as truth of the height of hte mountain, but was height?
 The following article was writ ten to offset the libel, and to give AlaSkans the low down, and Ito explain the manner many So- called scientific facts are cooked up, and for want of any explain ation are believed.
 There is just about as much reason to believe the Big Hill is nearer 26,OO0 feet high than any other number"
 Now that observers have cross ed over Bulshaia Cora, now call- ed Mt. Mckinley, it has revived an old discussion on two points:
 CD Was Mt. Mckinley scaled in former years? and
 @ What is its bable heighth?
 As to height. Many years ago old-timers and others called its height 24,000 feet. This elevation was generally believed to have been found by the early Russians, who were making maps of this region.
 Later, and about the years 1906 or 'O7 a rumOr gained currency that some one out of uncharter- ed space had found the height of the Big Hill to be 20,464 feet. The modesty of the author, who was apparently on a ship at sea, seemed to be the only reason for not attaching few inches to his answer. N
 The use of three uncertain figures is misleading, indicates an accuracy that did not exist, and reflection on the intelligence of the observer.
Seward daily gateway., 1931-09-14

The height of 2O,31O feet was III use around 1909 or 10, and 20,3OO feet has been in some Gov- Iernment and other publications since.
 Tables for curvature and re- fraction corrections have only been worked out by the Govern ment for distance of 66 miles. Correction to be added for this distance is 2,50O feet.) The early observations were made from either Valdez, Coast Points or at sea, and distant from Mt. McKin- ley 100 to 2200 miles or more. Readings on points more than 66 miles are drowned on by the Gov ernment as of no merit.
 The official figures and data relating to the recent flig ht across the Big Hill are retained by the Weather Bureau and will not be released until next Octo- Der.
 The plane crossing Mt. McKin- ley carried attached to a wing an altitude recording instrument called barograph. Since some have expressed a child-like faith in the uncorrected recorded fig ures indicated by this paragraph, l would like to quote a few facts from Government and othe CT sources on this means of deter mining elevations.
 The instruments most used for determining elevations, the re- suits being mostly rough esti- mates, are variously called the aneroid barometer, weather glass, altimeter, paragraph, etc.
 The construction of all consist essentially of a corrugated metal box, partly exhausted of air. This box expands and contracts with changes in atmospheric pressure. This movement is greatly multi piled through a lever and chain to an index pointer moving over scale on the face of the in Strument.
 These are n s r um nj s for weighing atmospheric pressure, which at any point is constantly changing. Altitude has no bear ing on the reading of the needle. That is, the elevation of the same place as indicated by the barometer at two different times may change as much as 2,000 feet. Barometer readings taken at same hour at two different places may be exactly the same and yet elevations of the two

SHARP ADVANCE IS
MADE IN PRICE OF
GRAIN AT CHICAGO
buoyancy OF Stocks and Op-
timism Over Hoover Par.
ley Rule Market

Chicago, Oct. 6.-(P)-Influenced by
buoyancy Of stocks and by President
Hoover's call for a white house con-
ference of members Of congress Tues
day night, grains advanced strongly
tuesday. An upswing of British ex-
change rates tended also to lift wheat
values. Hopes of a larger export busi-
ness IN North American wheat were
1urther source OF encouragement.
Wheat closed firm, 2-2k cents
higher. Dec. 47-471s, May 5l1s-A
corn 11a-1S up, Dec. 34A-7s, May
1875 "a. oats 7s-11s advanced. and
provisions varying from 10 cents de-
cline to is cents gain.
Opening at al cent advance,
wheat afterward gained further.
Corn started unchanged to q higher
and continued to point upward
Besides the stimulus given wheat
by stock market jumps, buying
momentum was increased by drouoht
advtceS from western Kansas.
On the other hand, tremendous
stocks of wheat were reported in
Great Britain, almost 100 per cent
more than month ago. Corn and
oats were strengthened by a forecast
OF showers over the main corn belt
following heavy rains in eastern,
Nebraska and western Iowa.
Provisions responded to grain
strength. despite lower quotations in

Japan to Increase
Its Forces in China

Tokyo, Oct. 6.-(P)-The Japanese
government Tuesday announced it's
determination to send several hun
dred" reinforcements to Shanghai to
protect its nationals in the face Of
the possible trouble over the Sino-
Japanese situation.
At the same time 1t was stated
that four cruisers. ~ destroyers and
one airplane carrier were ready to
start for China on short notice IN
case of emergency.
1t was explained that Japanese
troops already in Shanghai number
ed only 700 and that ether nations
were maintaining much larger forces
than that. France has about 1890
Great Britain 1900 and the United
States 1,265.
Shanghai dispatches Monday said
two destroyers had arrived to streng-
then the Japanese flotilla on the
Yangtze river and that two other
Japanese ships of war were on their
way there.
