ROllicking War
Story In Films

Soldiers Plaything', a rollicking
farce burlesquing the doings OF the
Army of Occupation in Germany
following the Armistice, is the at
traction tonight and tomorrow at
Fox Imperial Theatre.
A notable cast including Lotti
Iioder. Harry Langdon, Ben Lyon,
Jean Hersholt, Noah Beery, Fred
Kohler and Frank Campeau, is
seen in a series of humorous Incl
dents depicting the lighter side of
war as the veterans made merry
following months of carnage.
While Soldiers Plaything' is
said to be fast moving and pro-
vides plenty of spice, it misses the
,lsoue and is merely humorous.
The major portion of the story
takes place in Coblenz, where the
American army had headquarters
in Germany. The picture will be
of particular interest to former
soldiers. and has equal appeal to
those who have not that distinction.

SHIPMENT IS SENT ID N. '. MUSEUM
 BY DR. ALEs HRDL|CKA

Among the cargo of the south
 bound SS Alaska Saturday were 37
 cases of fossils gathered by pr. Ales
 Hrdlicka in his research work to determine the origin and route of the first Americans. The speci- |mens are being shipped to the Am erican Museum of Natural History,
 New York.
 It is Dr. Hrdlicka'S belief that further research will unearth addi- tional evidence in support of this theory. Already sufficient evidence has been revealed to definitely con- meet the aborigines of the north with Asia, although nothing has
 been revealed indicative of efforts to set up and maintain definite state of civilization such as marks the progress of the MayoS, Aztecs, IncaS and other ethnological units, whose history science is endeavoring
 to wrest from remaining evidence
 of their glory gradually being un- earthed in Yukatan. The fact that jade ornaments were found in Gen. tral America, indicating Chinese origin, has led many archeaologists 1 to believe that North America was once bridged with Asia near the equator.
 The fact that jade deposits exist in Northern and Western Alaska
 may have some bearing on this phase of the theory and further support Dr. Hrdlicka's promise that the crossing from Asia was via Si-
 beria when the Bering Sea was a
 land-locked body as indicated by
 the Aleutian Islands.

 The mob, using clubs and ink pots, rained blows on his head, smashed windows and furniture, and reduce Wang's office to wreckage. Wang's clothing was torn to shredS.
 Servants entering the office thru a window and carried him away. Wang was at first reported fatally injured, but it was later believed that he would live. The president has sent a bodyguard to Wang's home with instructions to shoot to kill.

 They planned to eliminate Seat tie from their itinerary because they were ineligible for the $28,0OO for the first Tokyo to Seattle flight.
 If the plane cannot rise from Tachikawa with enough gas for the journey, the schedule will in clude landing at Wenachee where Pangborn's m t h CT and brother Percy reside. They may continue on to Boise, and also if they have enough gas they will go on to Salt Lake City. It is said that If they can land at Salt Lake City, they will Shatter the Boardman and Po- lando long distance jump from New York to Istanbul.

MODEST SETTLEMENT GOLD SEEKERS SPRINGS
 UP BRITISH COLUMBIA

FORT ST. JAMES, B. O., Sept, 28. (P) - A modest settlement of gold seekers is springing up on Rainbow Creek, the scene of Brit ish Columbia's latest gold strike.
 The objective of the new rush is the Omineca country and there is now semblance of a village where a few weeks ago was little more than a wilderness of pine trees and gravel.
 The pay consists of gold in fairly course black sand and as- says have shown that it contains values of fine gold, platinum and iridium.
 A good man with a pick and shovel can probably wash six cub ic yards of gravel daily taking as his pay the production of an ounce of gold worth $16. Assum- ing it is produced from six cubic yards of gravel, this gives a return of about $2.65 per yard.
