Vikings of the Screen.
(NeW York Herald Tribune

We sit so warmly in movie" palaces, and accustomed to read of the ingenious miracles performed the Hollywood lots, that it is startling to find the papers filled with ur-tohour reports of sealers and film men, hungry, wet, half clad struggling the ice floes to little island off the north shore of Newfoundland.
 For the sealers it was all in the days work They of iron, accustomed to risk their
 lives at 365 days in the year. Unconscious heroes, the risk of the storm is matter-of-fact to them crossing automobile infested street to New Workers That it was keg of gunpowder which blew up the Viking instead of iceberg ramming its bow in could make little difference to them it all part of the normal professional peril. It is unfair to them that our mind inevi- tably concentrates on the risks of the three adven turers who were in the north to make picture; but because used to the knowledge that such men live on the frontier of life we forget the splendor of the daily spectacle.
 As these lines written it is not known whether Varick Frissell and A. G. Penrod, two of the three Yankee film men who were aboard the Viking went down with the ship are drifting wounded on the ice, or have been rescued. One hundred and twenty have reached land, and they not among them. They had returned to the north thus early in the hope of filming new born seals Their picture, shot" last year seemed incomplete; they wanted to add to it. So they went back into the north with the sealing ships, and now the country watches hour by hour for news of their fate
 The tragedy gives new realization of what films can mean, and a new faith in the silver screen For the public has been overfed with stories of the technical miracles of Holywood-of the synthetic snow of the jungles in the zoo, of the amazing realism of exotic the Tots" That is only a part of motion-pcturedom The great adventure pictures which will hold their biting human interest for decades at least, not manu- factured in Southern California. Schoedsack and his fellows had to climb the mountains with the Bakhtiari to film "Gras'; O'Flaherty had to live in the north to make "Nanook." The snowstorms of "The Silent Enemy were real. Byrd's and Robert Cushman Murphy's and the other Arctic, Antarctic and tropical animal pictures had to be taken where the animals lived. And Frssell, Sargent and Penrod with their went north where the seals are born, partly because the very lure of danger beckoned them on, and partly because the rest of us who stay safely at home demand the realism which only reality can give Their ship named, long ago, the Viking; and they, too were vikings of a new sort-vikngs of the screen.

EXPERIENCED COOKS| PUT UP FRUIT IN
 SMALL QUANTITIES.
Hills Bros. Follow Similar Rule by Roasting Coffee a
 Little at a Time

By adding the halves of fruit to the hot syrup few at time, the boiling temperature is maintained and the fruit cooks to firm, tender goodness.
 This principle is apparent in Hill Bros.' process of roasting coffee and the result is a uniform, deli cious flavor no other coffee has. A constant stream of expertly blended green coffee is introduced into the roaster in automatically measured lots of about three pounds. As it passes through, uniform heat roasts it little at time. When the op- eration is over, every berry is roasted to an even degree that could never be secured by any bulk method of roasting coffee.
 This process is fittingly called Controlled Roasting. It was orig mated and patented by Hills Bros. and develops savory, delicious flavor that no other process can equal.
 Because Hills Bros. Coffee is packed in vacuum, it is always fresh. By this process, air, which destroys the flavor of coffee, is taken out of the can and kept out. Ordinary cans, even if air-tight, do not keep coffee fresh. Ask for Hills Bros. Coffee by name and look for the Arab-the trade-mark-on the can. Sold by grocers every where.

ALAsKANs FOR ALASKAN SCHOOLS.

In the first issue of the Alaska School Bulletin issued by the Territorial Department of Education since w. K Keller assumed the office of Commls- sioner of Education, a suggestion is made to the school boards relative to the employment of ceach- CTS that is well worth consideration. Regarding the teaching staffs the Commissioner said:
 This is the time of year when the Boards of Education throughout the Territory are giving much time and thought to the se-
 lection of teachers for next year. This of- flee suggests teachers already in Alaska
 One of the most significant weaknesses of Alaska's educational system is found in the large numbers of teachers who come new to the Territorial schools each year, and leave Alaska at the close of the school term. Many of these teachers wish Tor only one year in Alaska to satisfy some personal whm, or a desire to travel, but many more are willing to remain if the opportunity to do is presented. There are a number of teachers in the Alaska schools who were raised and educated in Alaska and who plan to make Alaska their permanent home. Employment Of Alaska teachers, where all other qualifica- tions are equal will add much of value to school system
 The Office of Commissioner of Education has on file a complete record of the quail fications of teachers in Alaska ana we will be pleased to furnish this informa-
 ton to Board of Education upon request Commissioner Keller came to his present position through the Superntendency of City Schools II u,neau and Fairbanks He is qualified to speak on teacher personnel not only from knowledge ol theory but also from practical experience. Schoo Boards would do, well to weigh carefully his advice in this instance.
