and II anything we're to be said as
to the opportunities provided in the
course of the evening, 1t should be
that the observer would be inclined
to believe that they were largely de-
tached incidents in a personal per-
Torrance that should be accepted as
guaranteeing even greater achieve
ments by the leading woman Of the
organization in more fertile roles.
without any intention of diScrim-
mating against the excellent acting
done by other members of the cast,
however, the croix de guerre should
be awarded to Miss Daphne War
ren-Wilson for heroic Self-sacrif1ce
in presenting the nearly perfect pic
ture of the unprepoSseSsing and
garrulous maid, Bertha, with the
one redeeming feature that the
author of the piece has provided
unconscious humor in the lines
awarded to her. If she had ambi-
lions in the direction of grotesQue
comedy, which is extremely doubt
full, her place in TITS a Wise Child"
could be made the basis for numer-
GUS glowing references. But 1t Is
just enc week in a stock-company
season, and Miss Warren-Wilson has
other talents as well.
In undertaking a production 80
familiar to the public, the National
Theater Players were subjecting
themselves to the process of COM
parison. The result, even at the
opening performance, is the conclu-
sion that the organization is made
up of a number OF versatile actors
who have been so we'll drilled that
their attention may be diverted from
the labor of remembering the text

given by the United States Army
Band under the leadership of Capt.
William j. Stannard on Monday
evening, July 81. Assisting artists
from Latin America will take part IN
each of these programs.
At the suggestion of the United
States Chamber of Commerce spe-
cial concert has been arranged by
DR.. L. S. Rowe, director general OF
the Union, as part of the enter
tainment to be provided for the
delegates in attendance at the Inter-
national Conference of Chambers OF
Commerce to be held in Washington
during the week of May 3. This
concert will take place on Tuesday
evening, May S, and will be held on
the esplanade of the Union.
Owing to the fact that over 1000
delegates from 90 countries are ex-
pected to be present, the local in
vitation list will be confined to MEM
bers of the diplomatic corps and
Government officials. The United
Service Orchestra of ITO pieces will
play a program made up of out
standing selections from previous
programs.
The assisting artists will be Maria
Romero, Mexican soprano, and Fran
cisco Dominicis, Cuban tenor. These
artists have never sang in the
United States and are coming to
this country especially to take part
In the May concert. Maria Romero
is recognized as MeXico's most
famous operate and concert artist.
She has sung in Spain and in the
leading capitals of Latin America.
Her voice is a most unusual one
and as the program will be broadcast
over a chain of stations in the
United States and sent out over
short wave channels to Latin America
for rebroadcasting, the invisible au-
dience should be very large one.
Francisco Dominicis has earned the
distinction of having sung for 10
consecutive seasons in opera at La
Scala, Milan. He is now on visit
to his home In Havana and will
arrive in Washington in early May
to take part in this event before mis-
return to Italy.

thetic audience.
Stenley Ridges as Jim Stevens,
leading male character. is we'll cast
opposite the new leading woman,
and, as observed in previous weeks,
he also has that capacity for i'm
parting the information that he Is
likely to become intensely human, ut
the earliest opportunity. He fulfills
the silent prophecy in the course Of
the evening. Raymond Bramley,
playing the belligerent iceman, has
the makeup and the comic force Of
the regular trouper. John Warbur-
ton finds in the character Of the
chief culprit q field for his distinc-
tive type of mixed emotions. Roberta
Beatty makes much of the part of
the militant wife, and Adelaide Hib-
bard, as the mother Of a vigorous
family, carries out her assignment
with the natural quality with which
she has heretofore been credited.
Burke Clarke as the banker, @. A.
Appleby. finds field for real char
acter acting. D. Edward Austin as
the lover, who loses because OF his
own defects, and Forrest Orr, In an
eccentric husband role, both deserve
credit.

GlenOra Waters Is Winner In Chamber Slogan Contest
156 SUGGESTIONS ENTERED IN CONTEST: MRS. AITKENS, MRS VREATT SECOND, THIRD

"Wmngell-where the Stikine Meets the Sea"
 This is Wrangell's official slogan from now on, selected by the judges in the chamber of commerce con- test from 1856 suggestions entered. The winning slogan was entered by Miss Glenora Waters, daughter of MT. and Mrs. W. c. Waters.
 Second prize in the contest went to Miss A. E. Aitken, whose sug- gestion was wrangell-Gateway to Gold: and third prize went to Mrs. A. E. yreatt for her suggestion of "Wrangell-The Town of Totem Lope.''
 Selection of the winning slogan was by a process of elimination at the hands of the three judges, Mrs. M. o. Johnson, Prof Axel Rasmus- sen and Leo Mccormack. The choice was finally narrowed down to eight suggestions; these narrowed again to three, and from these the win ming slogan was chosen.
 The slogan suggestions were sub mitted to the judges identified by mum bers only, so the judges had no knowledge of the entrant. The eight slogans from which the final three were chosen were:
 "Wrangell- The Totem Town Beautiful"
 "wangell-The Gateway to Game and Fame"
 "Wrangell-The Home of Totem Lore"
 "wrangell-where the stikine Meets the Sea"
 "Wrangell-Home of Totems and Mountain Ash"
 "Wrangell-The Home of the Ra- ven Totem"
 "wrangell-Not the Biggest But the Best"
 Wmngell-Gateway to Gold"
 Announcement of the winners was made at the Coliseum Theatre Sat urday evening by Dr. R. N. Seruby, president of the chamber Of com merce. and through the further kindness of Manager Dolgner of the theater the slogan and winners name was simultaneously flashed on the screen.
 The Wrangell Chamber of Com merce, through R. W. J. Reed, who conducted the contest, wishes to thank all those who entered sug- getsions in the contest, as we'll as the judges for their impartial work and the Coliseum Theatre for its cooperation.

BREUGER BRINGS HERRING FROM WEST COAST TOWN

The gasboat Emma, Capt A. R. Breuger, arrived in Wrangell early Thursday morning from the west coast of Prince of Wales Island with 155 barrels of fresh herring for the Wrangell Cold Storage. The fish were caught near Klawock, Capt. Breuger said.
 There has been a dearth of her ring in the waters of southeast AL aska the past two or three years, and this year has been particular ly trying one to the herring fisher men. Scouts from Ketchikan, Wran- gell and Petersburg have searched the bays and inlets for several months without much success.
 Both the halibut fishermen and trollers are dependent upon herring for bait, and news that the run of herring has started on the west coaAt will be cheering news in this section.

Vets Bureaus Flooded With Loan Seekers
LONG LINES OF MEN IN WASH. INGT0N; SEATTLE OFFICE RE- PORTED CROWDED

WASHINGTON, D. C., March 2- Loan applications of veterans click ed through the governmental ma ehinery last Saturday at the rate of more than 1000 an hour as appeals went forth to permit those most in 5need to be allowed to file first.
 Chief Finance Officer H. w. Brein ing of the Veterans Bureau estimat- ed that more than 10000 checks for upward of s3.OOO,O00 went out from 54 regional offices Saturday.
 From 500 to 500 applications an hour were handled in the Washing ton. D. C. office. and officials said a similar rate was maintained at the 5S other regional offices.
 Seattle Office Crowded
 The stairways and corridors of three floors of the Liggett Building, Fourth Avenue and Pike, Seattle, were damned Satudray when ap- proximately 200 former soldiers at tempted to reach the veterans bu- reau to file applications for loans. Eleven additional clerks were i'm pressed into service.
 Most of the veterans presenting themselves requested the full 50 per cent loan. A thousand applications were taken before noon hast Satur- day. Veterans in need are to be given preference.
 Will Bring $1O0,o00 to Ketchikan
 tg fA dously from the passage of the vet erans loan bill according to Karl Drager, service officer of the Ketch- kan post Of the American Legion. ] There are approximately 250 men in the Ketchikan district who are holders of bonus certificates, !" said Mir. Drager, and with an esti- mated average of s400 available as loan to each certificate holder, s100.000 will be brought to Ketch- ikan within a month."
 The majority of the money will in all probability be used to expand fishing operations, while many have announced their intention to use the money to pay of debts.
 Few Applications In WrangeH
 AS yet but few Wrangell yeter- ans have announced their intention to take advantage of the new law. The legion post has wired to Seattle and written to Juneau for an addi- tional supply of loan blanks as the available local supply has been ex- hausted. A letter from Department Commander Jack Talbot at Ketchi- kan stated that he had written to the Seattle office of the Veterans Bureau asking that allowance be made for the greater length of time required for Alaskans to get in their applications and requesting an "eYen break" for Alaskan veterans in this respect.

 Judge Arthur W. Fox, Juneau, was elected secretary of the senate. Lawrence Kerr was unanimously elected chief clerk of the house, and Mrs. Nadia Vestal was made assist ant clerk.

 Economy Stressed
 While economy will be the watch word of the session, it has been in diated by various members that the territory's revenues will be sui fcient to take care of all neces- sities of the government. General 1v it is baIiavnd thara UiII ha m disposition to increase any of the existing schedules of taxation.
 It is known that some important legislation will be given careful con sideration. It has been definitely declared that a measure to restore the commissioner of education's po- sition to an appointive basis will be introduced, and it's sponsors are hopeful that it will be enacted.
 Repeal of the Alaska Bone Dry act will be pressed. Two years ago the legisba ture passed a bill for a referendum on this subject, but it was vetoed by Gov Parks.
 Repeal of the territory's direct primary law will be another subject for deep study A number of mem- bers of both houses have expressed a desire to bring about a change in this system to eradicate some abuses that have crept in. One proposition is to substitute for the primary a party convention system, based on the election of delegates and regis tration of voters.
