Hollywood - Will big names make a big picture?
 Apparently Mack Sennett be- lieves so. Sennett now Is com pleting plans for a 15-reel comedy that will have 12 outstanding film personalities in it's cast. Sennett, best known for his two-reel come dies, occasionally gets an idea for feature length production. Some times they turn out well. some times they don't. He believes this one will.
 Among the players now under consideration are Charles Mack of Moran and Mack fame, Lupe Velez, Clara Bow, Dorothy Bur gess, Jean Harlow, Edmund Lowe, Mack Swain, Ben Turpin, Lloyd Hamilton, Roscoe Ates, w. c. Fields and Andy Clyde. That cer- tainly is an imposing array of names bue we hope Sennett hasn't overlooked the necessity for strong story material.
 Some years ago Paramount made picture also with 12 out standing names in the cast. Wal lace Deid. Gloria Swanson, Elliott Dexter, Theodore Roberts, Bebe Daniels, Wanda Hawley, Agnes Ayres, Monte Blue, Theodore Kos loff, Julia Faye, Raymond Hatton and Polly Moran, all of whom ranked among the outstanding stars of that time, played in the film. But the story was weak and the picture did only a fair business despite it's array of names.
 Incidentally, it is rather inter- esting to note that Gloria Swan son is the only one of that entire aggregation who still is doing big things.
 The motion picture industry as a whole includes wide variety of crafts and one of the most in- teretsing is sculpturing. Almost every picture filmed requires some assistance from the sculpture de- partment. If a director decides that he needs statue of Venus de Milo in a scene. he turns in his

COPPER OUTPUT IS
 LOWEST IN DECADE

Copper production by smelters and refineries declined last year to the smallest amount since 1922, according to an advance summary of conditions in the industry issued June 8 by the Bureau of Mines, Department of Commerce. Consumption was contracted at an even greater rate than the output, with a re- sultant increase in stocks to a record level.
 The summary supplies the following additional informa- tion:
 Stocks of refined copper at the end of 1881 set a new high re- cord of 924,6OO,OOO pounds, were 50 per cent above the quantity on hand at the end of 1880, and were 40 per cent higher than the previous record reserves at the close of 1920.

WE MAKE A SOREHEAD

A bureau of fisheries agent is quite sore at The Alaskan for publishing the editorial last week Smelly Laws and Dummy Officials" Honest agents of the Bureau of Fisheries need not take any offense at any charges made against the mismanage- ment and law violations of any agent of the department. Their hands are clean and they are to be commended for trying to perform their duties without fear or favor. But those deca- dent little rats which infest the country; those little pinhead, peanut politicians who receive appointment from a Republican administration and show their appreciation by Sneaking into the Democratic primaries; those peanut parasites who connive with big violators of the law and are yet so intolerant of the poor sap who goes out to keep his family from starving-they are a sore on the body polite and it is time that the people of the Territory awakened to the fact that good Alaska air has been contaminated by such truck just about long enough.
 Al Capone is a decent honest itizen as compared to some of those highbinders which wear the badge of authority in the Bureau of Fisheries. Al Capone was a racketeer and he made no bones of his business. The sworn official who profits by racketeer- ing on the fishermen is not a more desireable citiden than Al Capone and his henchmen. Al is resting in the penitentiary- how and why some of the con- iSpirators in the Bureau of Fish Ieries are at liberty today no one

 "It's all the money I have with me. /. you will take it, won't you?" he asked.
 Manager Rogers looked at the man in surprise. Certainly, why not?"
 The stranger explained that Back East," whenever he of- fered his gold piece in payment of some purchase, the clerk and cashier would shake their heads and tell him to go to the bank and get it changed into paper money.
 And silver" he said, "it is al- most impossible to get hold of a silver dollar for small change, but that is all. Any surplus is packed off to the bank. The easterner will not tolerate silver, and gold is never seen there any rnore."

RED CROSS MAKES REPORT
 OF INDECENT AID

[A
 American Red Cross chapters throughout the United States distributing Red Cross flour mill ed from government wheat had applied for 1,922,833 barrels of flour as of June 4, the date of the latest national compilation ac- jcording to a report released by A. L. Schafer, manager of the Pacific Branch Office at San Francisco.
 The compilation m ade by James L. Fieser, vice chairman lof the Red Cross at Washington, D. C., shows applications from 2,813 chapters. Families benefit ing in the flour distribution total ] 2,4O3, ,45O while the number of persons in these families is placed at 10,315,525.
 In addition to it's widespread distribution of flour for human consumption, the Red Cross through 327 chapters, situated in drought areas, distributed 22O,O79 tons of stock feed. The United States Department of Agriculture certified to the Red Cross 321 counties in Is states as being affected by drought con- lditions. The number of families benefited by the stock feed dis tribution is placed at 175,270.
 Methods of handling the tre- mendous volume of flour ship ments are shown by the report which says:
 "Millers accepting orders handle the entire transaction which includes the removal of grain from storage elevator, transportation to the mill, mill ing into flour, purchase of sacks for sacking, transportation to the destination, and receive re- imbursement in wheat for these payments on submission of an invoice to the Red Cross. Under this arrangement the flour is delivered, without cost to the relief agency, at the railroad siding. All costs from that point are borne by the relief agency.
 Drought relief as extended in Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska and eastern Washington benefited 52,82o families numbering 241,822 per sons. The record shows 126 chap ters participated in the work which was carried on by a staff |of 3,962 volunteers and AT paid workers. Total appropriations for this relief operation were s2,225,917.
 Some idea of the magnitude Of unemployment relief is giver by MT. Fieser's compilation which reveals that 2,159 Re- Cross chapters were participaC ing in unemployment relief as o5 May 27. These chapters in theit service to civilians and veteran have dealt in recent months with l. .35O,0OO persons.
 In this connection the repor shows that the national Red Cross organization had expended $255, ,526.11 in assisting it's chap ters to carry on their relief ac~ tivities when local funds were exhausted. This sum does not include expenditure for staff service.
 Chapters and the national or ganization working jointly dur ing the past year handled the cases of more than 100000 ex- service men and their families,
 The fact is noted that 93 per cent of the bituminous miners in the United States are located in 168 counties of 21 states. In these 168 counties, 157 Red Cross chapters are participating in unemployment relief to mine families.

SCIENTIST CASTS DOUBT
ON "HUMAN" MONKEY
German Declares Ape Called New
Species Probably Only
an Orang-outang

BY Gable to The Star
BERLIN, June ga young so-called
orangpendek, an almost human baby
monkey, whose shooting is announced
from Batavia, Dutch East Indies, as
having taken place in the Rokan dis
trict of Sumatra, is probably nothing
but the garden variety of baby orang-
outeng.
Such at least is the suspicion of Dr.
Ernest SchwarZ, German zoologist,
when he was aroused today from his
examination Of bones and fossils of
Central African antelopes in the Berlin
Museum Of Natural History and con-
fronted with the story.
DR.. SchwarZ admitted he had no con-
crete reason for doubling the version
that the baby orangpendek represents a
new type OF ape nearest man, except
that such stories are in themselves ex-
tremely improbable.
Even If the Dutch government has
been led to believe that the dead
monkey baby is of an unknown species,
am inclined to suspect that it is only
the common orang," he said. The
description Of the baby's skin as rosy
brown and hairless, with body height
of 16 inches and the color of its hair,
might quite well be applied to such an
animal. should like to be informed
further Of any developments"
