something to gasp over.
 The day before Christmas was a damp, cold day =. this day that Cailie unknowingly wrote her last ad. It was inevitable that on this day one of the younger and less disillusioned executives should sen- timentally decide upon a Christ mas ad for the paper to run Christ mas day. He planned, with a drtppy fervor. just the kind of q goodwill ad he wanted. while Callie listened impassiveiy.
 When the shouting subsided and the quotations ended, Callie went to work. She bent her head over the keys and. began to pound. Steadily she typed, and only once did she pause and that when the office boy showed the yellow en- velope of a telegraph under her nose. None of us knew of its ex- istence until we watched Caliie as she slit the envelope. slid the mes sage out, read 1t calmly, folded it painstakingly in the original folds, and started a furious tapping on the keys. For ten minutes, meas ured swiftly by the red lacquered wall clock. Callie Thornton typed the famous ad that greeted the Christmas readers the next day.
 Most of Us
 Slept Until Noon
 We, too, read it wonderingly the next day. Most of us slept till noon, most of us were alone. most of us hate Christmas with a bitter, homesick hatred that left scars that never fully healed In spite of our boredom, we did read that ad with awed surprise. It was hawless, for it was more sincere, understanding, and as hopeful as the Christmas story itself.
 Callie had written herself in that ad; all her faith. all her heart. all her undying love for that man she

After endless days of this mod ern madness, Christmas or the day before Christmas, arrived to be rcckoned with. We all wondered about Callie, but her persistent aloofness deiied us. To one or two she lifelessly Informed that she had heard nothing for days.
 We knew she was trapped. We knew that she knew she had to stay, that the money she earned must be sent faithfully each week. We knew her heart was breaking, that she ached to go to the man who was grimly fighting just as much alone and as lonesomely as Callle. Callie worked and was as baffled as any other questioning soul at this ironic situation shaped by a capricious divinity tha shapes so many other destinies.
 With this breaking heart Calli continued to write ads that wer marvels we watched and req, them incredulously the shol hustled with shoppers buying tn very things that Callie described s ] persuasively. What that girl coul'

 Washington (UP)-Mrs Franklin D. Roosevelt travelled from coast to coast, from Maine to Georgia, and even into Canada, and steadily increased her active participation in public affairs in the 10 months she has been in the White House.
 The mot strictly political" activities this unprecedented First Lady of the Land felt she could properly continue after inauguration have widened un- til they include the following "jobs'' of a kind never before undertaken by a presidents wife:
 Service on the committee which studies and decides upon all federal projects combining decentralization of industry with subsistence farming; Initiation of the plan to buy surplus hogs, milk. butter. and coal for hungry and cold jobless people,;
 Active, though unofficial. par ticipation in the task of finding so- cially useful and non-competitive employment for women on civil works projects;
 Outspoken advocacy of the bfl. to strengthen the pure food and drug laws;
 Active, instead of honorary, chairmanship of the Women's Cru sade for funds for private char ities.
 A book, "It's Up to the Women" was published in November. One series of syndicated newspaper art icles was followed by another. After she ceased to edit one maga- zine, she immediately began to write a page in another.
 By November, her mail had in- creased so that, in 35 days, her clerks filed letters from 10000 peo- pie who never had written to her before.
 Outstanding among the hundreds of activities of each of the 10 months have been:
 MARCH: Relinquished her &C., tive teaching at Todhunter school and her radio. talks; initiated her weekly press conferences; rear ranged the upper floors of < the White House to make home for her family; broke precedent by attending and speaking at the newspaper women's stunt party" APRIL: Announced that, al- though she does not drink, legal

'ICL00' DRAMA OF NORTHLAND
 GIVES THRILLS
Capitol Picture Tells Stir ring Story of Eskimo Life
 Has Eskimo Cast

'Igloo" is not only as fine a
 motion picture as was ever made
 in the Arctic, but it is a genu- finely exciting drama as we'll "Igloo,' which opened at the Capitol Theatre last night, and with the exception of the Mickey Mouse matinee Saturday, will be seen for the last times tonight, gives an intimate view of the stern existence lived by the Eskimos Of the Far North.
 The story deals with the migra- ttion of a village of natives in search of the open sea and food, land the picture reaches dra- matic tensity, heightened by a suc- cession of dangerous and thrilling events. The storms which sweep through a village of the igloos in the earlier sequences are inde- |scribably bleak and chilling. They make one realize the vastneSs of Alaska-when one considers the contrast between the scenes of "Igloo' and those to which we are accustomed in Juneau.
 "Igloo' introduces a new screen
 hero in the person Of Chee-Ak, a stalwart and handsome young
 Eskimo, who someway found his way to Hollywood, then returned to the North with the producers
 to make this picture. Kyatuk is the Eskimo girl who was discover ed" by the director of the com- pany in her native village and de-
 velopsd into the heroine of the
 story. The rest of the cast, all Eskimos do good work under the direction of Ewing Scott, who must
 have had innumerable difficulties t overcome in the making of the picture.
