FRENCH POLICE. PICTURE SOLVES.
 CLEVER MYSTERY.
C Capitol Detective Story Presents Lovely
 New Star

Much conjecture, and much fic- tional plotting, has followed the murder in 1918 of Princess Anas-
 tasia, daughter of the Russian Czar. Or was she murdered? Is
 she still alive? These are the questions which produce the stor- ies.
 One of those stories, cleverly combined with a series of memoirs explaining the methods of the
 French Snrete, is now on the screen at the Capitol Theatre. It is RKO-Radio Pictures production of Secrets of the French Police in which Gwili Andre, Frank Mor- gan, John Warburton, and others are featured.
 There is an amazing and thrill 1 ling series of murders, abductions thievings, plotting and counter plotting, ably acted out, well writ
 ten, nicely photographed, and beau tifully directed.
 Praise must be given the lovely
 Gwili Andre for her performance
 as the Parisian flower girl forced
 by hypnotic suggestion, to pose as the missing princess. Her part is a different one. To it she brings
 both talent and her amazing breath
 taking, beauty. Surely she is one iof the most lovely ladies of the screen.
 Other fine performances are giv-
 en by Frank Morgan, long a
 Broadway favorite, and by John Warburton. Warburton is a new conner to the screen who was signed by Radio to a long term contract
 because of his work in Secrets
 of the French Police.e

INDIAN DANCES. WILL BE GIVEN
 SATURDAY NIGHT
Rare Entertainment Prom ised- Interpreter Will
 Give Explanations

The 25 participants in, the an- cient Indian dances to be given tomorrow night in the Alaska Ma tive Brotherhood Hall are all ready for the entertainment, having re- hearsed day and night for the past several weeks. The dances, five in number, have seldom been wit messed by white people and they have not been presented anywhere during the past two score years. Each dance tells a mythical story and while the evolutions are in progress an interpreter will ex- plain them to the large audience expected tomorrow night.
 "The Moon, The Man"
 One of the dances that should be popular with the audience is "The Moon, The Man" which will be presented with electrical effects. The story is that a young Indian made fun of the moon and the moon, in retaliation, drew him up and kept him suspended. The mother of the young Indian tried in vain to break the spell with the assistance of the witch doctors and others.
 The other dances are just as thrilling as "The Moon, The Man, D all presented in costumes rarely seen and which have been assem- bled here from various sections of Southeast Alaska.
 Among the featured dancers to be seen tomorrow night are Mrs Pete Smith, Mrs. Charles Green, Mrs. Bessie Miller, Peter Smith Jim Clark and Jack Gamble, lead CT. st sf{g 3sA

The Blue Eagles Nest
~ r. Il. in Full Occupation O fthe Capital

No sir! The real genius of the N r. A.
is the chief of the cafeteria. No doubt about
it. The N. r. A. goes over the top on a diet
of friend chicken. We find that out when noon
comes, and We join the N. r. A. army on an
elevator trip to the cafeteria in the basement.
What restaurant! Chicken dinner at 25
cents; delectable salads at cents apiece Those
chicken dinners are something to write home
about, something to pass on in your memoirs
TO the next generation. Here. for half an hour
or so each day the N. R. A. declares an en-
barge on recovery
Now luncheon has ended and new sur
prise awaits US We pass out of the cafeteria
into-three guesses-an aquarium! It's spa
cious hall. with fish cavorting on all sides.
Every kind of rare species is on display, in
every size and color Here We find the N. r. A
personnel lingering for few digestive min
utes relaxing in preparation for the strenuous
afternoon ahead
So much for the N r. A. building After all,
the building is only a small part Of the story.
NJ R. A. is in full occupation of Washington.
This task of codfying the U. S. A. carries us
on dizzy taxicab trail through the length and
breadth of the city. It's task that knows
neither clock nor geography. Committees dash
from a meeting at the Willard to confer with
other committees that have assembled at the
Mayhower. And what about the telegraph Of
fees? Nobody writes letters any more in WASH
ington. It's kilograms, kilograms from the word
go. Telegrams Hundreds of them, thousands
of them. Bags and bags of them. Messages
from every city, village and hamlet in the
Union. Eager eyed messenger boys tear through
the town, carrying kilograms in big bundles,
addressed to nearly every official in Washing
ton, from the President down.
IS it is with the kilograms, so it is with
the taxicabs. When the history of the
war against depression is written, let's remem-
ber the Washington taxicab driver. The life of
an N. r. A. deputy is just one taxicab after
another To the Willard, to the Washington,
to the House Office Building. And what tales
those takes could tell of codes discussed in
the dim interiors of cabs as drivers guide their
swift way down Pennsylvania avenue
And through it ALL through the whole mad
merry -go-round there pulses the drive Of
big idea. A terrific unity of purpose dominates
the NJ R. A If any industrial magnate could
capture one vestige of N. r. AS energy and
harness it to his business, there would be no
stopping him.
The thing is war, and the N. r. A. is hav-
ing a grand time pushing its offensive It's
a war any way you look at 1.-THE same sin
gleness of aim, the same indifference to small
mistakes To the individuals in the N. r. A.
the job is thankless enough materially speak
ing. Salaries are low. Nobody cares about
glory And as for hours-well! The N. R. A.
personnel is in danger of losing its home ties
Code work begins before breakfast and carries
through to the wee sma' hours next morning
If you have husband or wife in NJ r. A.

--URN the world inside out Stand the
old earth on its head. Reverse every
rule and idea you were born with or
acquired-and mix it all up with a
dash of Alice in Wonderland. Then,
maybe, you will gather some notion
of what's happening at National Recovery Ad-
ministration headquarters in Washington.
Over on Fifteenth street northwest. there's
q new world in the making. Come down with
me to the NJ r. A. building. It's the Depa-t-
ment of Commerce Building in truth but no
body calls it that, any more Come down with
me to this long white structure that gazes OIL
toward the White House grounds. Hop up IN
the elevator to the fourth floor. Here We are.
in the Blue Eagles nest. To the right are
rows and rows of deputies offices and hearing
rooms What a scramble! Deputies hurry to
and fro Codes are being revised. This
paragraph must be stricken from the hotel in
dustry code-it would never pass Johnson. And
the hosiery industry will have to modify that
second clause. Sure thing! On your left
is the press department. News breaks every
second. Bulletins and communiques are being
issued hour by hour, minute by minute.
Now there's stir in the outer lobby. Here
comes one of the big shots-and bless my soul
if he hasn't got the steel code right in his
pocket. But that's short-hved thrill. All
thrills are short-ived at N. r. A.-they're too
numerous. Up trots the president of big
Boston concern He's very much disturbed.
Had a date with johnson for 10 am. And
now he learns that johnson is in Chicago.
Flew there shortly before dawn to straighten
up the code of some industry or other. Too
bad! The secretary is sorry, of course, but
you know how it is. It's simply a question of
the more important problem taking priority.
\A/E amble down the lobby. Famous faces
w greet us everywhere, and every one Is
busy. Digniied corporation heads have lost
their dignity. They perform Office boy func-
uons without batting an eyelash. On we 60.
We peep into the Office Of deputy administra-
tor. Girl secretaries are talking into three
phones at once. Quite a job, this recovery
business. One girl remarks that she would
like to get acquainted with her folks; she
hasn't had more than 10 words with them in
Lucky break! He's all by himself He stands
at the door Of his Office, sleepy and a trife
bewilcered. Strenuous life, we murmur. He
heaves sigh
Man. oh, man." says the deputy, when this
thing is over, I'm going to hit out for some
where far away Somewhere where there are
no codes, no hearings, no taxicabs!'
Energetic bird. that deputy. He has pre-
sided at three hearings already this week-and
this is only Wednesday. Oh, yes, the deputies
are working hard. So are the secretaries, and
the subSecretaries, and the scores and scores
of Office helpers. But it isn't the N. r. A. per-
sonnel that's making the real success of this
recovery business. And it isn't Hugh johnson,
or President Roosevelt.

A ND then the boom vanished and left
~ the merchant marine stunned.
The great strike, which was to make all
the sailors rich, failed. 1t cost one COM
pany $75O,O0O to break it, but it was
broken. Oil-burners were now rapidly
replacing the cheeky coal fireman, and
he was released to seek his fortune in
some other profession. New machinery
appeared to drive ships faster for less
money and with smaller crew.
Thus the hot air was let out of the
American merchant marine. While be-
fore the war Americans had ignored
their shipping, during the boom a drive
had been in progress to make the public
ship-minded and give publicity to
American-owned ships. We had the
fanfare of trumpets when the Leviathan
went into commission, and campaigns
to urge Americans to ship their freight
in American vessels and travel in Ameri-
can liners.
It was failure, because the only way
to get business in shipping is to know
your business. Moreover, it is not
business that can be inaugurated over

Delay of Budget Directors
Ruling on Gas Tax Sur
plus Blamed.

Principally because Budget Director
Douglas has failed to date to approve
use of the Districts surplus gasoline tax
fund of s1,500o0o for employment
giving road work, 110 employees Of the
District Highway Department were
notified today they will be furloughed
indefinitely, beginning next Tuesday.
The decision to reduce the working
force of the department had been post
poned about six weeks in the hope the
surplus gasoline tax money would be
released in time. In all, $50 positions
are contingent upon the decision, and
unless the approval is given in the near
future between so and 60 of the more
highly trained workmen must be let out
On the other hand it was revealed
today that the Bureau of Public Roads
has notified the District government 1t
has approved the second group of three
Federal road projects here under the
roads section of the national recovery
act. This brings to six the total of the
specific projects approved by the bureau
under the Districts allotment of
$1,9l8,400 out Of the national fund of
s400,00o,o00.
Big Favlng JOB lncluoed.
These three new projects, which will
provide work for considerable num-
Der of workmen here, principally those
now unemployed, are:
The paving of Constitution avenue
from Fourteenth street east to the in
tersection with Pennsylvania avenue
approximately at John Marshall place
This has an authorized cost of $780,
600. The old granite block pavement
is to be replaced with a new asrhaltic
surface. 1t is part of the project to
widen and pave the avenue from North
Capitol street to the Lincoln Memorial
section.
The laying of a new concrete pave
ment on Good Hope road southeast
from Nichols avenue to Naylor road
the authorized cost being $4,000
The laying of new asphalt covering
on Wisconsin avenue between Massa-
chusetts avenue and River road at an
authorized cost Of $4,000.
The three new projects, having q
total authorized cost of 100000, will
be advertised in the near future, but
not Immediately, when the working
programs can be planned.
The first three projects approved
were the building of a new P Street
Bridge over Rock Greek, at a cost OF

West-East Time.

returned here at $3.50 am. today to re-
pair an ailing motor after being gone
approximately two and half hours on
an attempt to lower the woman's West
East transcontinental record held BY
Amelia Earhart.
Miss Nichols circled the field several
times before landing, evidently because
it was ticklish business to drop her
heavily-laden machine on to the run
way. She had more than 800 gallons
OF gasoline in the tanks of her low
wing, speedy ship when sI1e returned.
Her landing was perfect.
Having satisfied herself the plane was
in good condition except for the motor,
Miss Nichols left the field to go to bed.
While definite plans were not an
nounced, she was understood to be
ready to try to get away again some

Imminent action by President
Roosevelt in the Cuban crisis ap-

arrival of special report carried
here by plane from Washington.
Complete mystery surrounded
the airplane message. 1t was
taken to the Summer White House
by secret service men and immedi-
ately given to the President.
Watching Cuban Situation.
Mr.. Roosevelt is giving closest
attention to the critical Cuban
situation and is most obviously
determined upon bringing peace
and order to the island republic.
The President has been dealing
through Ambassador Welles in mediat-
ing the Cuban trouble. It was under
stood that the special report brought
here came from WelleS
1t has been made plain here that Mr.
Roosevelt does not want to interfere
with the internal affairs of Cuba, but
it also has been quite clear that ne does
want a well ordered government there.
While quick action is apparently in
prospect, there is no hint of sNhat it
may be.
