WASLINGT0N-ALAsKA PLANES TO BE EQUIPPED WITH RADIO

Radio broadcasting equipment for the Alaska Washington Airways has been received by it's Juneau agents. J. B. Burford and Company, and was given a successful test re- gently. The machine will not be put into use again until resumption of airplane activities here late this month or early in March. This sending set will be supplementary to, a receiving set at the hangar, and all planes will be provided with sending and receiving equipment of their own.
 The radio equipment will enable the hangar here and planes in the air or at distant places on the ground to talk with one another at any time.
 The wave length of the sending machine here insures perfect com munication at 500 miles under ordi- nary conditions and at 300 miles under most unfavomble conditions.
 We went on the air for a while Saturday night with the new ma ehine," declared Mr Burford "It worked perfectly. Juneau will con-

THE TOYMAKER" TO BE PRE- SENTED AT COLISEUM AFTER NOON AND EVENING; HERE'S THE CAST
By "VALn


 Have you chanced to walk past the chicken coop" recently? If SC you have no doubt heard-but wait -perchance you do not recognize the above terminology. Chicken coop" is the very plebian term giv- en by the present generation seek CTS after knowledge to our oldest temple of learning"
 Now, whether you have ambled by leisurely or hustled by busily you will have noticed without doubt the repeated bulgings and saggings of the above mentioned building, You may have been struck" by one of the more or less melodious notes being emitted by the inmates. Perhaps you have stopped to won- der at the commotion and hustle, or perchance you chanced to be a parent of one of these amateur stars and have also been inconven- fenced by keeping late dinners, in warming ovens and being otherwise temporarily deprived of your fam fly.
 If so no doubt you have merely shaken your head. Indeed, there will be scores of audible signs of relief with the rich red draperies at the Coliseum closed on the final act of "The Toymaker." The man. agement brings you all a word of cheer. The hustle shall soon end. Next Monday night at 8 o'clock the mystery shall be solved in the most dramatic fashion. You shall know the why's and wherefores of the frisking at the chicken coop" the frowns of the director and the ex- asperated sighs of the stars.
 You shall have visited Toyland in all it's glory You shall see mem bers of it's royal family; you shall see rag doll and a clown trip the light fantastic; you shall hear the Toymaker sing to his princess, shall be a witness to the incessant com plaining of the old mother.
 Perhaps you'd enjoy a few re- marks about the cast. The title role is played by Fred Grant. Freddie is our temperamental star. If there is n basketball game within ten miles next Monday chances are we will be minus a hero. Fred would so much rather use his vocal abili- ties in something more athletic than play-acting. And watch him take his amorous passage at break-neck speed.
 Lois Wheeler exercises her talents in two very opposite roles. She has to be somewhat of a quick change artist to doff rags beftting a rag doll and become a glittering glam- orous princess. However, she per forms both roles with ability.
 To Elnn. Arola falls the role of "busy" housewife. Don't miss her theme song, For Camels with

Humps" She's good. Her frown is guaranteed not to wear off. rub off or fade off.
 Lloyd Goodrich is cast as the high and mighty emperor. Lloyd detests appearing in anything so ef- feminate as a cloak, even though it's ermine trimmed So be prepar- ed for a blush about the shade of his hair.
 You'd be surprised what diff culty one has in recruiting a prince. Prince No. 1 was Marion Nuss- baumer. But ah! the mump beast ies got him and gobbled him up. Prince No. ? was to be Jim Dolan, but he developed that tragedy of every lads life-a severe toothache which meant absence from school and other public affairs. Prince No. 3 is still in the offing-but be sure that there will be one-preferably red-haired.
 Have you ever seen Ruby Everson clown? We'll, this is your big chance. She is duly proud of her quaint grimace. And perhaps if she feels especially frisky she will do "a solo for you. She plays the big nuisance on the set.
 Our wooden soldier is not at all the dynamic, military type. Per haps his being handicapped by the loss of an arm makes him a bit timid. Anyway he's a jolly good fellow and we'll liked by all the dolls. "He" is Mildred Everson.
 The Best Doll is a snippy individ- ual, and rightly so. The Toymaker admits she is the most beautiful toy in the shop. But in spite of airs and graces she is called on to do a swoon in the last act.
 There are lots of other dolls. We have another jolly clown whose off stage name is Leonard. His play fellow is an Eskimo doll straight from Alaska and answers to the name of Jock.
 Capt Kidd will be there in per son with skull, crossbones, and trusty saber And he brings his sister to do a dance number.
 The Russian Doll is a dark-eyed beauty with the usual flare for col or. Topsy of darkie fame has con scented to be present for one eve ming. You'll never recognize Ann Everson in this role.
 The cast also includes an Indian -an Indian chief, if headdress means anything; a cowboy with a swanky pair of chaps; and a south ern colonial dame who but recently joined the ranks.
 Jerry Desmond was to have been our shy pink-eared rabbit, but the rabbit skin fails to fit our robust bunny. Doubtless, however, Miss Simpson as costume designer will disguise him as something equally effective.
 And did tell you-there is to be a dance by four girls in orgnndie creations It's a short dance, but well done and effective.

Blazing the first ain trail from the Mackenzie River to the Pacific watershed, Pilot Stan McMillan of the Dominion Commercial Airways, flew a Bellanea Pacemaker from Ft McMurray, Alberta, to Atlin, B. O., landing on the ice of Como Lake after rough trip over one of the most desolate stretches of wilder ness in northern Canada. He made the flight in three hops, stopping at Ft. Simpson and Liard Post. He will accompany Pilots Van der Byl and Joerss on a trip into the upper Liard to salvage Capt. Burkes plane.
 Forging the last link in an air mail chain stretching from equator ial South America to the Arctic, the Winnipeg-St. Paul airplane mail, piloted by A. D. Jarvis, took off at Winnipeg last week, bound for Ak lavik, northernmost settlement on the Mackenzie River.
 
 The first protest against the re- moval of totem poles from northern British Columbia to the United States came from the Native Sons of Canada, a patriotic organization of Victoria. They have petitioned the government to forbid further exportation of totems and Indian relics to enrich the collections of foreign museums.
 This is a laudable. gesture if the motive springs from a genuine de- sire to perpetuate Indian culture. It would be more to the point, how ever, if the organization were to sponsor a move to preserve the rel ics, rather than allow them to rot where they fall. The Indians them selves seem to be indifferent about the totems. Only a short time ago some of the finest poles on the Mass River were sawed up in blocks to serve as a foundation for a Salva- tion Army hall.
