dealers state of war will lnevlt ably develop into which the Legis- lature will be drawn.
 Tn contrast, consider the Alco- hol Control Authority's position The Authority could fix prices with out the slightest opposition from private business interests because the Authority would own the liquor Through price control it could with in limits modify sales volume at will. On the basis of results, il could, if need be, change the prices again.
 "The Authority would be equally concerned with defeating the boot logger and with avoiding the stimu- lation of consumption which might follow too low level of prices.
 Tt would even be possible for the Authority to sell certain prod ucts at price below what would show profit, if this step were thought expedient as measure of Eromoting temperance through a change of drinking tastes. The price of liquor is thus seen as 2 tWo-edged sword, but to avoid dis aster the wielder of it must have exclusive possession of the hilt.'

liquor is expensive it will be placed out of the reach of many persons The tax-levying authorities are nol directly concerned with retail prices but are eager to have large reve- nues.
 Here is a knotty tangle of in- terests in the price of alcoholic beverages. Much, of course, will depend upon rates of taxation. But inasmuch as the retail price of i- quor is central factor in regulat- ing both legal and illegal consump- tion, the Authority can use its price-m making power as one of its most effective instruments of con trol.
 Rhode Island has enacted law giving to it's Licensing Board, call ed the Alcoholic Beverage Commis- sion, power to fix the wholesale prices of all such commodities (bev- erages), to be sold within this State or to be imported or brought into the State or exported there- from, and to raise or lower such prices in whole or in part from time to time etc.
 This legislation recognizes the crucial importance of regulating price; but one may doubt whether Rhode Island has proposed a work able method of accomplishing the result. It is not likely that State liquor licensing board can exercise power to fix prices without running afoul of the strongest kind of opz position and interference from the private business interests involved,

 eff prices are raised, those with stocks on hand will reap unearned profits; if they are lowered, losses will ensue. Under such conditions private dealers will not be inclined to stand idly by, nor will the public accept as reasonable a system which gives such fortuitous profits or losses to individuals.
 We anticipate, moreover, in con- nection with this type of legisla- tion, veritable field day of court actions. At the very least, between the licensing board and the private

In Love Is a Racket al Coliseum Young Doug
 Has Fine Support

Saturdays opaning of the Coli seuf Theatre brought Douglas Fairbanks Jr.. to the screen as a. new type of screen hero. The handsome young star appears as the columnist, Broadway-wisa and cynical, in Love Is A Racket the story of which concerns his ad-. ventures with the great and near great of New York, as well as his own love affairs, which parallel those he writes about in his col umn.
 Doug. Jr. has never appeared to better advantage than in this fast paced story of modern life and activity in the metropolis. He again reveals his marked talents in both drama and comedy, hand ling both with squal facility.
 The story is amusing, combining the clements of comedy and dra- ma. It is played by an excellent supporting cast which includes such finished young actors as Ann Ovorak, Lee Tracy, Frances Dee, Lysle Talbot, Warren Hymer and Andre Lugnet.
 In Love Is A Racket" Doug falls in love with a beautiful chorous girl, played by Frances Dee, whose aunt is ambitious for her to marry a millionaire. She cannot agree to her niece accept ing a young newspaperman, who mixes with so many different kinds of people and seems to have no more future than his present. The resulting entang1ements, following a wealthy playboy's decision that he wants the beautiful chlorine for himself, being one of the fast est series of dramatic and comic episodes that the Coliseum screen has shown in many weeks. The climax is particularly spell-binding and will thrill the weeks movie goers.

IF R|SCO JENNY
 IS. CHATTERTON'S GREATEST ROLE.
Dramatic Picture of Sar
 Francisco and Notorious Barbary Coast, Capitol

Cast in the would of the pie lures which have been Ruth Chat terton's most conspicuous success es, and have made hers a nams to conjure with wherever lovers of fine acting are assembled, ''F'risco Jenny" her later First National production, which opaned at the Capitol Theatre yesterday, ranks as her outstanding work to date
 Frisco Jenny" is the story of a woman who ruled the vice element of a city. The sweep of the dra- ma takes it across a quarter of a century of human life. Opening on the eve of the Great Fire that laid San Francisco waste in l906-the days when the Barbary Coast flourishsd in all its law lessness-the picture traces the colcrful career of a daughter of the old underworld as it luridly meaves itself through the changing life of the new San Francisco to the moment of supreme sacrifice that crowns the story.
 Running through the kaleido- scopic pattern of emotions and events is as vivid and gripping a story of mother love as the mod ern screen has ever witnessed. It is the final inevitable clash be- tween mother and son-the latter utterly unconscious of the real identity of the woman he sess as his prime adversary-that makes the overpowering denouement of the picture.
 The scenes of the earthquake and the subsequent fire which completed the destruction of the city by the Golden Gate have been pronounced by experts to be mar vsls of realism and catastrophe power. Old Chinatown lives again in all of the sinister secrecy, with it's miles of catacomblike pass ages and dwellings. The reckless, tumultuouS night life of San Francisco, unique among cities Of the western hemisphere, is enact ed so vividly that many an old timer who has witnesses the pre- views of the picture has breath ed sigh for the glamor of those days.
 Under the direction of William Wellman, an extraordinarily large and capable cast, assisted Miss Chatterton in the portrayal of the drama. Donald Cook, Louis Cal hern, Pat O'Malley, Jimmie Mur- ray. Robert Emmett O'Connor, Helen Jerome Eddy, Hallam Coo ley, Noel Francis, Frank McGlynn, Sr., J. Carroll Naish, Robert War wick, Franklin Parker and Sam Godfrey are the important sup porting artists.
 The screen play is the work Of Wilson Mizner and Robert Lord. Sid TIickox supervised the photo graphy. S

vision not only to see that there was no encouragement of the sale of liquor but to make sure that no beverages were sold in violation of the letter and spirit of the regula- tionS. P2
 Under the license system, on the other hand, competing private dealers are under constant temp tation to build up their sales and profits. The issuance of liquor licenses to private, dealers presup- poses the right to make living by the sale of liquor Since his live lihood is at stake, the private seller always has been and always will be interested in sales, and in nothing but sales.
 Price Control
 "The retail price level of alco- holic beverages not only determines profits but also has direct bear ing on the amount of consumption and on the problem of the boot legger. The prospective consumer desires a low price. The producer also wishes to set comparatively tow prices to attract trade The law enforcement officer is con- cerned lest extremely high prices of liquor encourage the bootlegger to undersell with his untaxed or adulterated products. The Prohibi- tionist generally is on the side of high prices, for he believes that if

MINING SHORT COURSE BEGINS
 MOVE MBER 25

The mining short course at the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines at Fairbanks, will open this year on November 25.
 During the past years 15 to 70 men have taken this work which has resulted in putting many men pack in Alaskan hills to prospect, indirectly resulting in some inn portant mineral discoveries On account of the new gold mining conditions in Alaska, it is antici- pated that an exceptionally large number will enroll this year to prepare themselves for prospecting activity next spring, for certainly Alaska is going to be the seat of great gold excitement, and will be rich in activity the coming sum mer.
 To Get Attention
 Rigid attention will be given to prospectors for the working of gold ores. The work will include geology las applied to prospecting for gold; Imineralogy; amalgamation of gold ores; treatment of base gold ores by gravity concentration and flo- tation; fire assaying for gold and silver; and methods of economically opening and equipping small pros poets.
 There are no age limitations. Many men fifty or sixty years ot age and who have had only a ru- dimentary education have found much in valuable returns offered.
 Little Expense
 The cost of the course is only $25 to $30 for expenses and mater ials consumed in the laboratories. Those desiring to do so many stay on the campus where room and board can be obtained for $50 per month. Those planning to stay ir the dormitory should write Presi- dent Charles E. Bunnell for room reservations.
 This is the year when gold pros pecting is swinging into it's own and now is the time to prepare by taking the Mining Short Course.
