tests Alaska coal passed the stiffest of tests by over 400 B. T. us.
 'I may have many disagree with me. relative to using coal because it, is harder. to handle and not sos efficient as, oil. I will cite an instance that occurred several years ago when pull verized coal was used in. firing the Shipping Board freighter -. This boat was equipped with three Scotch marine oil-burning boilers. In a very short space of time and at very little expense two of these oil burners were accommodated for coal burning; the thind burner was left as an oil burner. This vessel left. an Att lantic port for Europe working only on two coal-fred boilers., The dis tance was 4,000 miles,, The .. ship gained one-half knot greater speed and saved S4,0o0 on. fuel for the round trip. It is safe to say. that Alaska coal would be expedited very nicely along these lines.
 "At the time Brigadier General Mitchell was the head of our air forces he strongly urged that we have great fleet of airplanes statiored.in Alaska. He, like the late. Senator PheIan of California, and many others, understood the peril and wanted us to prepart for. such., an emergency.
 "It is Ynot too strong to say that in the event of war on the Pacific, Alaska would be the central. theater of operations. Whether the crisis in the Orient envelops us or not. we must protect our Territories and other possessionss and not wait until the last minute and go frantically ahead, which means billions of dollars in waste and many lives lost. It, is. common knowledge that things done in haste are very faulty and extreme ly expensive.
 Tt is about time that the, United States Government give a bit of at tention to Alaska and help it get some industries under way. It is a shame to see the vast coal fields lay ing idle. Coal reduction plants should be erected and the. products. yielded woud find their way into all. parts of the world.
 After the minerals are developed we can envision the farmer rancherl agriculturist, coming in and some day we may see the fertile Tanana, Mata. nuska and Susitna valleys growing produce that were never thought pos sible before. It may happen that Alaska will have it's flour mills, pack ing plants, woollen mills. and tan. neries.
 Alaska can .ands should be. support- ing population of several millions today. and the time is now appropri- ate for such, and, if accomplished, would surely help out the stringen-, cies of today"

HIGH WINDS DISRUPTED AF-
 FAIRS OVER AT ANCHORAGE


 After having been held for 24 hours in the grip of a wind storm which ohtimers declare to, have been the, worst ever recorded there, Anchorage emerged a few. days ago somewhat battered but snot gratly damaged. by the hard blow, notwithstanding the fact that the wind, during the height of the storm, reached. a velocity of 51 miles an hour, says thes Anchorage Times in reporting the storm which, struck that. city February 21. 7 The-stornsstarted Friday evening". and by Saturday morning the wind was blowing gale. Throughout the day the air was filled.with storm par .ticles and flying tar paper from scores of roofs, and streets were de- serted except by those who had press ing business awoy from home or place. of business. Drifts piled up in every. .. part of the city and so obstructed traffic that numerous autos became. stalled. with rescue almost out of the ,question while the storm lasted.
 The heaviest damage probably was suffered by the city in the loss of telephone and power line poles, nu- .merous of them so long in the ground that the yhad dbecome rotten at the base. having broken under the strain. of the wind, with the result that some parts of town were dark Satur- day night and without telephone ser vice.
 The cold wind also drove the frost through the north end of some of, the city's buildings, causing water to freeze in pipes. and occupants to- move into more sheltered parts of the structures. Power lines carrying en-, ergy to self-stokers continued to func- tion through. the storm,. a. circum-- stance that was particularly fortunate. There are. man. yof these stokers. ims the city, and it would have been founG very difficult to keep fires going had there been stoppage of motors, with the wind blowing and the tempera- sture standing several degrees below zero..
 Several large buildings in. the Busi-~ ness distrirt and numerous homes. lost the tarpaper covering from their roofs, and some of the corrugated. iron roofing was ripped from the roof, of the N. c. building and the railroad machines hops.
 A number of windows also were blown in,. two; large ones at. the Cor don store and two smaller ones at the Empress Theater, Anchorage Hotel.v and elsewhere
 , With the storm over,. there was a. rush yesterday morning to take ad- vantage of.fair weather to repair the damage done, with the result that. there was.~heavy demand upon. the available lahor supply. There were. roofs torEe-cover, pipes to, be mended,- telephone and power lines to be, re- moved, and windows to. be replaced Much work had been done by last night, and things are getting back to normal today.
 It will take little time, however, to get the streets plowed out so that normal traffic can be resumed.

"Sky Devils" and "Bcauty and the Boss" on Current
 Bill ut Warmers Strand

Howard Hughes Sky Devils'' now headlining double feature program at Warmers Strand is easily the laugh sansation of the year with amazing, spectacular scenes unmatched since "Hell's Angels"
 Here Is sure-cure for the hard times blues. No matter how de- pressed you might be, this slam- bang comedy of the air will lift you to roaring heights.
 The same quality of rare com edy found in his 1.-TWO Arabian Knights" is contained In "Sky Devils"-and the air-thrills are as awe-inspiring as those in "Hell's Angels" [.
 Sky Angels" is the amusing and impertinent tale of three dare- devil American flyers. who violate every rule of war for good time. Spills, thrills. court martials, and Richthofen's flying circus--all are just part of the days work in the lives of these carefree clowns of the air.
 The sky Devils" are Spencer Tracy, William Boyd and George Cooper. and each gives an out standing comedy characterization Their reckless exploits are embel- lished with romance. some spicy and some sentimental, and this Is all ably furnished by Ann Dvorak and Yola D'Avrii.
 The companion feature Is Beau ty and the Boss" adapted from the, Broadway stage play ""The Church Mousse and starring War ren William and Marian Marsh.

to date. True, she has appeared in quite number of films. But her parts haven't always been to her liking. Yet, I am quite sure, 1t never has occurred to her that she should shoulder at least part of the blame on her own two shoul- 'ders.
 Personally, I like vivienne for that quality. It's refreshing to meet such person in Hollywood. But 1t isn't the way to get along in the movies.
 Out here in the film colony Sone must shout his or her own praises. At least that's what one would judge after watching those who have arrived at the top. None of them have been afraid to stand up and admit being good. Some even modestly proclaim actual great ness! One of these days vivienne may be able to do the same thing. When she does, she'll go places be- cause she really has the ability.
 In the meantime. her chief desire is to acquire one of those highly prized sun tans.

Vivienne Has The Ability
 But Needs To Blow Own Horn
DAN SAYS CONFIDENCE WILL MAKE HER REAL STAR
By DAN THOMAS NEA Service Writer

Hollywood-Jobs may come and jobs may go, but the good old Cali fornia sunshine Is always at hand in a pinch.
 Sounds like an ad for the Cham Der of Commerce. doesn't it?' It Isn't though. It simply is one way of saying that regardless of what happens in the movie studios scat- tered over this part of the state. the film folk always can hie them- selves off to Mahbu, the cinema playground, and acquire nicely Drowned skins.
 Plenty of them are doing just, that these days, including Vivenne Osborne in whom we are particu- lariy interested today. Vivienne's skin is now snow white, the re- suit of long, hard hours spent un- der the glaring studio lights. But a few weeks will tell a new story.
 The former New York stage celebrity has just completed two contracts, one with Paramount and one with Warmers. During tho terms of these contracts she work ed hard. making one film after an- other with little rest In between.
 Now she's free--hasn't a tic in the world. So she has taken d house at Malibu for the summer. And before she does another thing toward furthering her career she intends to acquire that healthy out door look upon which the little movie girls are placing such pre- mium this summer.
 Quite noble ambition, that. Particularly 50 in view of the fun which goes with 1t. Imagine mak- ing 1t a business to while away the hot hours on nice sandy beach! Oh, we'll that's one thing Vivienne admits she can do well. It's too bad she won't admit a few other things. too.
 Miss Osborne isn't particularly happy over her screen career

 Its all done." explains Joe E. Brown, with the aid of mirrors and the help of hat"
 Brown, whose face is his fortune. uses few mechanical tricks for his screen comedy, but he believes that the proper hat is one sof the best assets of comedian can have.
 In his latest First National gulf flaw, that has been delighting au- diences at the State, "The Tender foot" Joe wears a too-big cowboy hat and a small grey fedora. Both, he believes, are true to the character he plays In fact Joe Seldom goes through a picture with hat of proper size.
 Anyway, I feel funnier in n funny hat"
 Supporting Brown in his most elaborate comedy are Ginger Rog- CTS in the feminine lead, Lew Cody Robert Greig, Vivian Oakland. Ma- ion Byron, Ralph Ince, Spencer Charters and many others.
