er in the Hollow Stump School said
to Baby Bunty:

GO where?" asked the little or
phan rabbit girl who was much sur
prised at being told this.
You may go out and play,
squeaked Miss Mouse. You have
been a very good little rabbit in
school today, Bunty, so I am let
ting you out early. You didn't Whis-
per and you studied your lessons
and this is your reward
Al 1.-The other animals boys and
girls wished they were as lucky as
Baby Bunty to be allowed to go out
of school so early. They began to
study better then, and Billie Wag-
tail, the goat boy, who was just 60
ing to stick a pin in Noodle Flat
tail. the beaver, changed his mind
and stuck the pin in his desk.
: "Hurray! Hurray Hurray!' said
Baby Bunty to herself as she hop
ped out of school. Il can have all
hour of fun before the others get
out. What shall I do?"
! At first she thought she would
go to the field where yesterday Un-
Gle Wiggily had made the roasting
corn party for all the children. But
Mr.. Longears was not in the fielc
SO Bunty hoped toward the woodi
thinking he might be there.

LIGHT TALK
FOR JUNIORS

Relation of light to sight was the
subject of a most interesting and
instructive talk given by Clark Ba-
ker to the local Junior Chamber of
Commerce at their regular weekly
meeting this morning.
Baker who is the lighting coun-
selor of the Pacific coast electrical
bureau, spoke on correct and incor-
rect methods of home and office
lighting demonstrating many of the
points in his talk by means of il
lustrations. He brought out par
ticularly that incorrect lighting Is
severe on the nerves and general
health of those who must put up
With it and he asked that children
especially be given every opportu-
nifty to read and study under con-
ditions that approximate most
closely the natural lighting effect
given by the sun.
The speaker has spent the great
er part of mis- life in the lighting
field and has become a nationally
known authority on his subject. He
was assisted by Gordon Black, light
ing engineer of the Southern ST.
erraS Power company.
Lee Landerman, chairman of the
frolic committee, gave his report
and stated that tickets for this
event will soon go on sale. The
chamber also discussed the resump-
ton of public speaking classes
which were so successful last year
and a further report on this mat
ter is to be made at the reyt meet
ing.
James Cass and William Dickey
were received as new members.

ONE PLACE FOR KELLY

Capture of the notorious George MA
chine Gum Kelly in Memphis yesterday
indicates that the law is making Satisfac-
tory progress in rounding up leaders of
the underworld following the recent an
nouncement of federal authorities that
II would wage a veritable war against
gangsterism.
Kelly is charged with long list of
desperate crimes including murder, kid
naping, and robbery. His nickname is
derived from the fact that he has been
willing at all times to cut loose with
machine gun in carrying out his criminal
career.
That is, he was willing to do so until
confronted yesterday by policeman
who pointed a sawed-off shotgun at his
chest. Then, like all gangsters, Kelly
wilted. Despite the fact that he had a
gun in his hand he made no effort to use
it but meekly submitted to arrest. The
odds were against him. They must be in
favor of the gangster before he can
function efficiently.
Lodged in jail at Memphis, Kelly braz-
enly boasts that he will not be there long.
1t is to be hoped that he is right, but
with slightly different viewpoint from
the idea he conveys. He hopes TO stage
an escape from jail. Those who respect
the law would prefer that his Jail stay be
short because of more severe punishment
meted out to him.
Kelly is the cold, deliberate, ruthless
type of criminal. There is little that can
be said in his favor. He has ruled by
terrorism and violence. The law cannot
deal with him in the same manner for to
do so would put it down to his level But
it can keep him in jail and it can put
him in prison. He has been there before,
but when he goes the next time, he
should be placed there for keeps.
1t is showdown between the law and
Kelly and others of his ilk. They must
not be allowed to win.

MYSTERY PLAY BEING SHOW N,
 ALL STAR CAST
Technicolor Thriller Doc tor X" Is Current Fea-
 ture at Coliseum

Moon madness" which plays such a prominent part in Doc tor X," the First National Tech nicolor mystery thriller, at the Coliseum, with Lionel Atwin Les Track and Fay Wray heading an all star cast, is not an expression that has been merely created in the mind of the author. Far from it, it is an actual condition that physicians, psychologists and psy- chiatrists frequently have to con- tend with in patients suffering from nervous disorders
 There is no doubt in the minds of physicians that the moons rays have an effect upon the action of such people. Precisely what effect science does not know.
 "The idea of moon madness, said pr. Thaddeus Bolton, famous scientist, lis based on the ob- servation of a natural condition among the near-insane and nerv- ous persons. The attacks of ex- treme nervousness usually occur at regular intervals-about 2S to 30 days apart Coinciding as they do with the full moon, it has long been thought that the moons rays are responsible.
 Even the word lunar which we use in referring to the moon, has grown into the language as lunacy, which proves that for many years the effect of the moon on nervous and insane persons was an accepted belief"
 Of course, to laymen the moon was made for love. Poets, compos- CTS and writers have even made the moon the basis for romantic inspiration. Therefore, to kee r the story in keeping with the romance the moon inspires, and in order to make Doctor X" utterly different from any mystery Story ever filmed the producers have developed a touching love affair between Lee Tracy as the news paper reporter and Fay Wray the feminine lead, who plays the part of Doctor Ks daughter.

Tom Gardner and A. E. Owens, of the Juneau Lumber Mills re- turned Monday from Shakan Bay where they ran aground with the tug Driva on the return home from a two weeks timber cruising expedition.

 In the course of the expedi- ton, the pair were able to locate some good red cedar and spruce, they said, which the Juneau Log ging Company will cut this fall.
 The mill also expects to reopen some time in September and saw about two million feet of lumber, to fill an order of red cedar re- ceived from the Alaska-Juneau, and also to take care of fall and winter business.
 At the present time. the mill company is taking advantage of a slack season by installing a new cyclone and 100 horsepower fan to exhaust the shavings and saw dust from the mill.

CAPITOL HAS
 TIGER SHARK 'f FOR NEW BILL
Romance of Tuna Fishing with Many Thrills,
 Told on Screen

The romance of the tuna fish, cries, with all it's wealth of dra- matic highlights and perils, is por- trayed with all the resources of a modern motion picture studio in First Nationals production, Tiger Shark" which will be shown for the first time at the Capitol the ater tonight.
 Twenty years ago tuna fishing, as a commercial industry, was un- known in the western hemisphere, though as a delicacy, it was known and highly regarded among the ancient Romans. Today it's earn ings run into the millions. Sixty thousand tons of tuna is the an- nual catch that goes into the worlds markets. Between five and ten thousand people depend upon the tuna fisheries for a livelihood. And it is a staple and popular ar ticle of food all over the United States.
 It is the most dangerous to hu- man life of all deep-sea fishing. The schools of tuna are harassed and harried by mon ter tiger sharks, the most savage and ter rible scourge of the seven seas. And the tiger shark is more of men ace to the fisherman than he is to the tuna. Every tuna boat re- turns to port with it's toll of fa- talities. There are few tuna fish ermen that don't carry the scars of mutilations of desperate encoun- ters with these cannibals of the deep.
 All these phases of a lsstie known enterprise are vividly embodied in this unusual picture.
 Edward, G. Robinson is starred. The popular Richard Arlen plays the role of Robinson's first mate and pal zita Johann, one of Broadways most brilliant younger actresses, has the leading feminine role.
