PUZZLED ON HOW { TO WEAR MEDAL

Paris.-The Countess of Noailles, the first woman to obtain the crav- ate of the Legion of Honor signify ing her rank as commander. is non- plussed just how and where to wear the manly decoration.
 The rank of commander in the Legion of Honor, never before con- ferred upon a woman, is denoted by a red ribbon around the neck from which dangles the insignia of the Legion of Honor. It looks nice upon the white dress-shirt of man, but 1t has never been seen upon a woman.
 The Countess is poet, but never theless practical person. She is suf- ficiently feminine that she does not wish to mar the effect of her lovely neck with a giant cord which is too mannish to appear pretty upon the decollete of woman.
 Several have suggested that she wear red ribbon for the medal, on the left side of her gown, the ribbon being pinned near the shoul- der. Precedent for this practice is cited, since Turks and Moslems, who wear robes somewhat similar to Oc- cidental gowns, carry their decora- tions in this manner.

Gangster's bullets mix with high society in "Dance Fools, Dance," Joan Crawford's new starring ve- hicle which opens tomorrow at the Warner Bros State theater.
 Joan's achievement as a drama tic actress in her recent films is overshadowed by her vivid portrayal in this sensational Chicago gang ster story that penetrates deep into the heart of the underworld and finds in it's core a drama thrilling and tragic.
 Joan plays the part of madcap society debutante who turns to newspaper work after falling into financial and romantic reverses.
 Like her role in Paid" Joan plays a straight dramatic part al- though she enlivens it with festive moments at once reminiscent of "Our Dancing Daughters" and its

Doctors Wives is the romance of a great surgeon, too much the doctor--not enough the husband. Too many pretty patients and not enough homely ones aroused his young brides jealousy. Could anyone blame neglected young social butterfly. ac- customed to admiration and atten- ton, for having her own fling. War ner Baxter plays the great surgeon: beautiful Joan Bennett, younger daughter of Constance, is the neg lected wife. Doctors Wives" is an exceptionally strong woman's picture of modern social life and modern love problems. Doctors Wives" is shown four times daily at 2:16, 4:52, s7:2s and 10:04 D. m.

This picture Is called "Rango," and the New York papers hailed it as one of the outstanding wild animal pictures of all time. Into the wilds and fastnesses of Sumatra on the Maly penninsular went a genius named Schoedsack with his cameraman and great pa- tience. He brought back as en- crossing a movie as has ever been made. It tells simple story of tragedy and retribution in the lives of Jungle beasts. In sequences. you'll howl with laughter. In others you'll sob with sorrow, and in still others you will grasp the arms of your chair and your hair will bristle with thrills. "Rango" Is utterly, magni- ficently different from anything and everything else.

The Lamp of the Future.

 When so well-informed a man as MT Hawkins of the General Electric Companys research labora- tories tells the Illuminating Engineers Society that the ncandeScent lamp 1t exists is not capable of radical improvement" wonder if his words may not be belied by some discovery of the morrow He took the trouble to point out that Edison regarded the carbon -filament lamp of thirty years ago as the last word in electric lighting, only to have organized research give the highly eff cent tungsten lamp It is not satisfaction with the work thus far done that inspires MT. Hawkinss opinion of present lamps but rather a keen of their shortcomings. All the elements of the periodic table have been studied with an eye to their Illuminating possibilities. Tungsten is the best And if tungsten is not good enough must perforce devise a new lamp.
 Of all the energy released by the coal burned under a boiler only about per cent is utilized in the form of light Fireflies the propor tion Professor Langley pointed out years ago. and thus physicists to blush for themselves The fament lamp having been apparently brought at least to momentary perfection they turn to another type like the sun There is no filament in the sun, but vapors heated to dazzling incandescence. The lamp to come will be bulb in which vapors similarly heated to the glowing point. Advertising signs shine in half dozen dofferent hues in front of the shops of every Main Street and already proclaim the solar night of the future. Not the firefly, with it's weird greenish rays, is the ideal but the stars
 The sodium vapor lamp holds out the greatest promise at the present time. Its too yellow light can be modified by the addition of other elements But glass must be discovered which will resist the corrosive effect of sodium. Means must be found to dispense with cumbrous auxiliary ap paratus, that the vapor lamp be screwed into any home socket Industrial research thus enlbarks a voyage of discovery When com petent physicists regard the best tungsten lamp of our time a contrivance soon to be classed with the candle and rush-ight there be doubt of the ultimate success of that voyage.

A New Phase of Gold Mining.
Mining & Engineering Journal)

What became of all the graduates of mining schools this year? Doubtless this question has
 cured to many older engineers who know only too
 well that at the curtailed rate of present operations
 the mining industry has not even enough work for
 it's experienced personnel But gold mining of
 course has been flourishing, and much greater
 proportion of mining recruits than usual is appar
 enty getting it's first practical experience in wash
 ing gravel following a thin vein, cleaning anal
 gamated plates or testing cyanide solution. How
 ever the prosperous and expanding god-nin-
 ing companies cannot absorb all of the overflow
 from the base-metal mining industry, effort
 has been made to start active development of prom
 ising gold prospects, and to favorable leases on old mines.
 In recent issue a item told of project for the students of the Alaska School of Mines to work the Eva gold mine Ferry, the Alaska Railroad, equipment for which has been ordered by the college This will be school of practical lexperence for both undergraduates and graduates. presumably, and may result in added income for the college as well. Another project is being sponsored by the Alumni Association of the Colo rado School of Mines. A company known En- gineers Lease.

This mine was considered good many years ago to have had its day, but many undeveoped mneralized Assures and

The work in the Vindicator is expected to provide en- lployment for 100 graduates, who will work a grubstake basis. receiving SIPS a day to penses of board and lodging. The company formed by the Alumni Association will furnish mining equipment and supplies and will receive twofifths of the proceeds the Association itself will get fifth; the other two-ffths will go to the who do the work.
 Possibilities exist for similar assistance to many other unemployed mining engineers Alumni asso- citations, mining companies, and other groups could well formulate similar plans for the development lof promising gold areas at small expense for

MEASURING ENFORCEMENT SUCCESS.

Easing its assertion on fewer arrests and prose- cutons under the provisions of the National Pro- hibition Act n Cctobel Director Woodcock advances fectve and expresses eradication the fact. This is a queer unit of measurement to use. Ana one that the ordinary citizen will hesitate to accept as readily as the Director Of the Nations Prohibition forces seems to have.
 The real test of successful enforcement does not necessarily lie in the number of arrests made or in the number of prosecutions started. Any given corresponding period without proving anything. There is only one real test-a,d that is whether the flow and visible supply Of contrabar liquor is essened. AS long as it be had in abundance in any city large or small, ilace hamlet in the entire country it seems ike chld's play to pretend that enforcement is one whit effective Of course it isn't success The quarter of a million speakeasies operating from Maine to California and from Alaska to Florida without count ting the millions of homes in which beer is brewed and wine is made, the thousands of illicit stills from which rotgut liquor flows in eady stream to the hip-pocket peddlers is sufficient refutation of the ridiculous claim that enforcement is effective.
 Any unit of measurement that bases upon arrests and prosecutions IS mt enly susceptible of error, it is in fact in itself Arrests and prose- cutions vary with the zeal of the individual en- forcement officers With public sentiment and, more than anything else, with the degree of complacency with which the central authorities view the con- tinung notification of the Eighteenth Amendment.

NOT EVEN A FORLORN HOPE.

When Geg PincAot and Progressive Senators gently in Washington O. curative plans to block the renomnation of P esdcnt Hoover at next years Republican National ton, it must have been apparent to them that this was not within the realm of remote possibilities. If MT. Hoover desires second term, and practically all observers are agreed that he does, his party will undertake the task, matter how difficult of giving it to him. To do otherwsc would be the most unwise kind of politics. To refuse to nominate him would be confession of party failure. It would lead to dissention in the party the effects of which might not disappear many years.
 No will better understand how forlorn hope such a revolt would ne than these same Western Progressives Their realization is written into political history in every national campaign. Between times they are insurgelts Tt odds with the party ad- minstration but on election days they trot meekly into the fold along with the "old guard" stand patters with whom they refuse to associate before and after elections. The Washington discussions ended in a decision to wat until January before making any decision about Progressive campaign to head off the President If by that tine the wide open spaces of the West are n unconfined and un- trammeled revolt against MT Hoover's administra- tion if the country still shows signs of general re- bellion against the Grand Old Party it will be time enough for them to enter candidates in the Pres- dentia primaries If the agrarian revolt doesn't

Pinchot enter the field the latter it alone in Pennsylvania where he announces he will make effort to cap ture the States delegation to the convention, MT Hoover sleep soundly and without fear of what his fate will be at the national convention.

arily to the splendid runs in the important Bristol Bay region, part icularly on the east side of the bay, where there were good runs and escapements in 1926, the brood year for large proportion of this seasons pack. Excellent runs of pink salmon entered the waters of southeastern Alaska, with the result that despite curtailed operations the production of this species was well above the average for recent years, although it was substan- tially less than the 1880 output.
 Comparing the preliminary fig ures for 1881 with the average for the Swear period from 1926 to 1880, by districts, both southeastern and western Alaska show gains of approximately per cent, while for central Alaska there is a decline of II per cent. It has later been estimated that the total Alaska pack for the 1881 season will be 5,44O,0O0 cases, which will include 1,680000 cases of reds, 3,O00,709 pinks, 540024 chums, 170,- 900 echoes, and 52,672 kings.
 Skins of fur-bearing land animals to the number of 494,547 and valued at $2,128,148, were exported from Alaska in 1880, a report from the Alaska Game Commission to the Biological Survey, U. s. Depart ment of Agriculture, shows. This is $2,385,715 less than the value of the 1929 shipments, although 197 ,245 more pelts were exported The smaller return for 1880 result ed from a general decline in the market vaule of individual furs. The report is based on the state ments that fur shippers are re- quired to file with agents of trans portation companies or with post masters handling the shipments, who in turn must forward them to the Alaska Game Commission.
 The Delegate is endeavoring to have the Geological Survey under take the mapping of Kodiak Island, in the belief that it would lead to valuable mineral development. Director Mendenhall states that this is one of the projects that Philip s. Smith, Chief Alaskan Geologist, has urged and is one of several projects now under con- sideration for the next field season. But in the absence of information as to funds and personnel avail able for next season nothing def mite can now be decided on, al- though it is gratifying to know that it is the intention of the Survey to map Kodiak Island so soon as conditions vii permit.
