LOOK OUT, MEN! June Collyer "Ga-Ga" Girl Of
 Films, Turns Daring Vanap
BY DAN THO.iAs NEA Service Writer

Hollywood = Moviana's ga-ga girl has gone vamp.
 Yes, folks, beautiful, demure June Collyer, has becomes a screen siren.
 Can she vamp? Yes and always has been able to. We have known June since she first came out here from New York to try her luck on the silver screen those early days her eyes spelled danger to any man who had even the suggestion of a weak constitu- tion.
 Of course the film producers couldn't see it. All they saw was beautiful, naive June who would be a good decoration for film as a ga-ga ingenue. And once a girl goes ga-ga in pictures the most difficult job in the world is for her to break away from such roles. just as it is almost impossible for a girl who stars playing vamps to ever do anything else.
 Arlfss "Rescued" Her
 It took George Arliss to see June in the role of the girl in his new production, "Alexander Hamilton" Studio executives argued against her. but Arliss stood firm. He wanted Miss Collyer in the part. And he happens to be one of the few stars out here who get exactly what they want.
 June isn't exactly a dyed-in-the- wool vamp in this picture and she doesn't get her man in the end. But she uses her eyes for other things than seeing and she does get mixed up in an affair with the man in question. which seems to us equally as interesting as getting him in. the end. No regular Hollywood execu- tive would ever have given her such chance. "She hasn't lived enough" they would have said. All of which makes us wonder if June puts any stock in the theory that an actress must live before she can act. Miss Collyer has had rather a strange career since her entrance into pictures. First she was under contract to Fox but was loaned to Paramount borrowed her for a few and then signed her to a contract themselves. Then they started loaning her to other studios. Dur | ing the last year she has appeared in nine films, only two or three oi which have been made on the Par When Alexander Hamilton came along, Warner executives wanted girl who was not tied down to contract with any other studio, so June talked Paramount into releasing her.
 And now I'm going to free-lance l for while." the actress told me 1T can't see any advantage in being under contract to one studio when am continually being loaned out to other studios for more money than l am getting. I might as well free-lance and get that additional money myself. particularly as there is. fair demand for me right now

The art of correct finessing is without question the greatest re- source of skilled declarer. When a declarer finds himself in the delicate position of being unable to win his tricks by brute force alone, he then resorts to the finesse.
 A finesse is aptly defined as an attempt (by the declarer) to win the best the declarer holds in that suit, nor in sequence with it Note, in particular, that the finesse is one of the resources of the declarer, not the adversaries. Seldom should one adversary util- ize the finesse against his part ner. Consequently the. hand for today is interesting for the reason that one adversary should finesse against the other, one of the few possible combinations of cards which permits of the procedure. There can be but little question that this deal should be played by East at no trump, and that South should open the three of hearts.
 Holding A-Q-x in partners suit and threatened with long club suit in dummy Gin which you hold one stopper, the king) North's strategy should be to force the declarer's hand to take the first heart trick if he holds the king and not hold off until the third round.
 The natural play of the ace fol- lowed with the queen and small will of course result in the closed hand holding up the king for the third round, thus completely blocking that suit. Then the declarer will finesse the club into the North hand and North is now unable to return his partners suit.
 If it be maintained by some Doubling Thomas" that the closed hand should hold off in any event, let him put himself in the declarer's position = would he dare to hold off with his king on the first trick, with almost a cer- tainty that the heart will imme- diately be returned and his king nipped by the ace?
 Remember East has no knowledge as to the location of the ace, where- as the chances of the club finessel are equal. which means a probable game. Now confess, you and I would not dare to hold off if the ingenious play of the queen of hearts on the first trick is made by our opponent. Copyright, 1881, NEA Service, Incl

NOME WANTS ROAD MONEY OF LEGISLATURE

Money for roads and trails is what the Se- cond Division wants of the next Alaska Legisla- ture, declares George Hellerich Republican of Nome, who at the recent election was chosen re- presentative to the Territorial lawmaking body. Included in the Second Divisions delegation will be Alfred Lomen, Republican, whose present lead of 10 votes for senator over J. H. Anderson will not be overcome in the 30 votes still unreported from Lower Yukon River precincts, according to Mr. Hellerich'
 Along with appropriations for roads and trails the Lomen Division will want also subsidy for the Lomen Transportation Company.
 It has been held that a subsidy for traspor- tation for the First Division would not be legal We cannot understand how subsidy for trans portation service in the First Division could be illegal and yet be legal in the Second Division. Even if it is for the Lomen Corporation which sends it's members to the legislature we cannot see how an illegal subsidy can be continued.

lduStry is up in arms and does not want

now the industry is up in arms and does not want the bill to pass.
 The administration of the fishery laws and regulations Of Canada has shown real desire to save the sockeye salmon to the industry Only seines and gill nets may be used in Canada while the regulations in and under the direction of the American Government has been discriminatory in Alaska waters to the detriment Of resident gill netters and seiners. Passage of this treaty would place the American industry under laws similar to that governing Canada which would check inn mediately the rromiscuous canning and waste of this food fish. The industry would be built up again and more in both countries would be employed producing wealth that would build up Alaska and the northern sections of Canada
 To prevent passage of the treaty would be anal agous to check in game of chess and to pass the treaty would be checkmate which would force the salmon Barons of California and Wash ngto2 to start game under new rules whereby honest conservation of the salmon would be real effort and not idle gestures to befool Congress and the citizens of both countries

NON RESIDENT FISHERMAN TAX NO GOOD
 SAYS COURT

According to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, which heard the case of nonresident troller versus the Territory, the probitve tax on nonresident fishermen is illegal For several years the electorate of the First Division has de- handed that the Territory enact legislation which would eliminate the nonresident competition which yearly migrated into the Territory taking much and spending little while here. Men from States whose laws discriminate against Alaskans by declaring that only residents of twelve months or more may operate fishermen in waters wherein their jurisdiction held sway. Finally such law passed in Alaska Senator Benjamin presented the bill and met some opposition from the democratic and federal brigade Later Repre- sentative Zieger when he found no opposition in certain quarters, raised the ante $250 and so the law passed. While in the legislature William L. Paul did to create favorable sentiment for passage of such law than any other person in the legislature.
 Attorney General John Rustgard is carrying the case up to the Supreme Court of the United States on an appeal. In event this Court decides adversely, what will the fish experts" and "arm chair scientists do about eliminating the petition of the migratory fishermen who come only to destroy and not to build up the Territory
 We will probably have suggestion or two to offer at later date-after the political generals of the Demy-Reps have shot their bolt and played

REAR ADMIRAL NAVY
 FRANCIS H|GG|NsON
 DIES AT KINGSTON

KINGSTON, N. Y, Sept. Is. N Admiral Francis John Hig- ginson, 88 years of age, died here Monday. Admiral Higginson was born in Boston in 1S43 a member of distinguished New England family.
 He began his Naval career at the age of A. Graduating from Annapolis four years later, he was assigned to the West Gulf Block ading Squadron and immediately plunged into the Civil War. He was detailed to the Colorado, and soon after joining the ship was sent out on an expedition that nearly resulted in his death.
 At the outbreak of the Span- ish-American war, he had risen to the rank of captain and had been placed in command of the Massa- chusettS. When Santiago harbor was blockaded, it was the duty of Admiral Higginson's vessel to keep a searchlight turned upon the harbor's exit to prevent the escape of the Spanish fleet.
 His last command was the en- tire North Atlantic fleet. After retirement in 1905 he lived in Ul- ster county New York, the native state of his wife, Grace Glenwood Haldane, whom he married in 1878.
