They are already being used for big-stone necklaces and are especially lovely when combined with one of the stones of their only family-rose quartz.
 The superb purple or violet shad- ings of the amethyst. which vary in depth, Is said to come from manganese. Although the stones of deep color are sometimes called "oriental," the real oriental ame- thyst is a purple sapphire and IS exceedingly rare. One Greek leg end has 1t that the meaning of amethyst has to do with wine be- cause of its colortng and that It wearer would never feel any evil effects from drinking.
 This legend is carried down te our times in the form of a warning against excesses in any form. Dis sipation is said to have especial in fiuence upon the February-born and if over-indulgence were tt gain any hold. 1t would requir' more than human power to remove 1t.

LOVE AND M|RTH FEATURE HAYNES !. IN 'C|RL SAID NO'
Capitol Play Is Rapid Fire Blend of Hilarity and
 Heart Throbs

Love and laughs, romance and high finance, mingle in a rapid fire lend of hilarity and heart throbs in William Haines' latest and one of his most ambitious pie lures, "The Girl Said Mo-" his all- talking Metro -Goldwyn-M Mayer ve- hicle now playing at the Capitol theatre.
 The picture has Haines as a chap fresh from college, with a diploma, a swelled head and a bagful of "wise-cracks." The plot depicts his adventures trying to get his first job and his early struggles with the world of business and competition.
 It's a cross section of the col lege graduates of the country. He starts fresh, to be tanned by the responsibility and hard work. Poig- nant drama, heart throbs and a charming romance mingle with thrills and laughs.
 Franks and Comedy
 Haines starts with pranks and comedy; he meets a girl in an of- flee and falls in love with her; gets his first jojb; is fired; his father dies and he shoulders the responsibility for the family-and whirlwind finish sees him "come through" The hilarious incidents include a breakneck automobile elopement and details Of an actuaI Wall Street brokerage house in full operation in the heart of trad ing. The human interest lies in the intimate touches of family life Comedy at a college party, a night club and the breaking up of a wedding add the typical Haines whimsicalities.
 Leila Hyams appears as a hero- inc who is not only charming tc gaze upon, but a very accomplished actress as well, and Francis X Bushman, Jr, plays the heavy as McAndreWS, the O11lce IHdHdSeI

 RAIL INCREASE
All Communities Deeply Concerned Over Situa-

All of the communities in the Alaska Railroad belt are deeply concerned about the reports of radical increases in freight and passenger rates by the Government, according to Commissioner Charles H. Flory of the United States De- partment of Agriculture who re- turned here Saturday after a months visit to interior points as far as Fairbanks.
 Appeals have been formulated by Chambers of Commerce and other organizations along the route and forwarded to the Interior Depart ment urging that existing rates be maintained. Higher rates, it is generally contended, will handicap existing industries and opera e against the establishment of new ones as well as prevent any new developments.
 MT. Flory made the trip to con- Ter WILL DI. V. T.. Duiiicii VI uAS Alaska College over that nstitu- tion's cooperative program with the Department of Agriculture, and to talk with other agents of that De- partment. He is gathering in- formation relative to conditions generally and those affecting the several ager.ies of his oWr de- partment preparatory to making his annual trip to Washington to con fer with heads of the bureaus and make his annual report to the Sec retary. He expects to leave here about the end of this month for the East.

Further inquiry is being made into the matter. If the two products are identical, it is be- lieved Alaska could furnish a large part of the needs of the country
 The moss is gathered by machin- Iery and compressed to rid it of the water content then shipped It is used for chicken scratch food and fertilizer. Shipments in quantity lots have been made from German ports to Seattle, the landed cost at the latter point being SIS per ton Transportation cost was $6.30 per ton.
 Timber Business Normal
 Sales of timber in Chugach For est this year will be at least nor
 
 nal, and may exceed slightly those made in 1929 and 1880, Mir McDon- ald said. Tie hackers and portable tie mills on the Alaska Railroad expect to cut 60,000 cross ties by Spring, which are under contract to the Government road.
 All of the communities in the district, Cordova, Valdez, Seward and Anchorage, are more or less optimistic over the outlook for business this year. Most of the Prince William Sound canneries will operate next season for red fish and few of them for pinks
 Cordova is keeping well abreast of the times as is indicated by the two miniature golf courses being operated. Both are doing nice business and the game is proving highly popular.

CORDOvA AFTER INDUSTRIES TO
 USE RESOURCES
Expect Grab Cannery and Investigate Peat Moss
 Manufacture

Cordova is hopeful of early in- dustrial expansion through the de- velopment of it's shell fish resources and a possible utilization of peat deposits, declared J. w. Mcdonald President of the Chamber of Com merce of that city and supervisor of the Chugach National Forest, who arrived here Saturday afternoon fol two-week visit to district head quarters of the United States For est Service.
 We have not felt any direct ef- fleets of the depression in the States, and conditions in Cordovs are up to if not above normal" MT Mcdonald said. He was accompan- jed here by Executive Assistant L c. Pratt.
 Plan Crab Cannery
 We are sanguine over our chanc. es to establish the crab canning in. dustry at Cordova, and are con. vinced that it will be a prosperous one" he said Our investigations have disclosed an ample supply o1 crabs nearby to insure continuous operations. While local finance: could have been enlisted in the es. tablishment of packing plant, i was decided to try to interest out side capital in the enterprise Thomas Scott, cashier of the Bank of Cordova, who is passenger or the steamship Northwestern fol Seattle, has a proposition to lay before interesed people and it is expected they will accept it.

 understanding of humanity and life in general-something which
 may be even beyond your own
 comprehension and may cause you to become moody and depressed.
 You must avoid this tendency, as you are lacking in self-confidence and may miss some of the biggest opportunities of your life that are likely to come to you in 1881. If new propositions are presented to you. do not magnify small ob- stacles to such an extent that you spoil your own success. However. it would not be wise to accept any thing that involves too much de- ] tail-the attendant responsibilities

He also voiced apprc Iciation of the work of D. E. Sheriff piano tuner, who thoroughly over- hauled the instrument and put il in perfect tune.

Georgia's New Auto Tag
 Made to Foil Thieves

ATLANTA, Feb. 2.-Georgia has adopted a new type of auto license tag designed to prevent interchange of plates by thieves.
 It is so arranged that when once attached to an automobile, it can- not be removed without destroying a part of the tag and so making it unfit for further use.
 Besides making it difficult for bandits, who frequently carry sev- eral sets of tags with them, George H. Carswell, Secretary of State, believes the new tags also will prevent auto owners from using the same set of tags for one or more cars or trucks.
