PERFORMANCES OPENS TONIGHT
 IN NPLAYH0USE
Wheeler and Woolsey, Fa- nous Funmakers in Side
 Splitting Burlesque

It isn't often movie makers are fortunate enough to coordinate catchy musical numbers in such a pleasing way with a well-sustain- ed but nonssnsical plot as in Dip lomaniacs," which opens tonight at the Coliseum Theatre.
 The new RKO-Radio picture has the irresistible appeal of broad burlesque, opening on an Indian Reservation where those side-split- ting comedians, Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey are commissioned to represent the Indians at the Peace Conference in Geneva.
 The redskins believe Willy Nilly and Horatio Club are dumb enough to make good diplomats. Their adventures in Switzerland, where a group of ammunition makers at tempt to balk their efforts to get a peace pact signed, and their romance with a pair of hired Par isian camps whose kisses make men swoon and smoke about the collar, make lively action and riot ous comedy.
 The sequences which take place in what purports to be the Peace Conference hall are sublimely ridi- culous. Machine guns, mallets and bombs take the place of yelled in- uendo and ironic notes. The whole affair turns into a riot of fun and music when Wheeler and Woolsey en1ists the entire delega- ton in an improptu black-face minstrel act.
 Marjorie White and Phyllis Bar " give the art of making Holsters out of men new verve, with just the proper amount of nonsense. Their sinking, lureful mode of To- comotion and their honeyed WOOL ing adds zest to the work of the comedians.
 The musical numbers in this elaborately-stagsd production es- tablish a new precedent for racy

SALMON IN ALL
SECTIONS GOOD
Bureau Of Fisheries Sur
veys Show Spawning
Is Satisfactory

Generally, the escapement OF
salmon in every district in the
Territory has been good and no
uneasiness need be felt over the
future cycles Of all species of fish,
it was announced yesterday by
L. G. Wingard, Alaska Agent OF
the United States Bureau of Fish
cries. who left on speed boat
to connect with the patrol boat
Crane enroute to Ketchikan.
The one exception to the gen.
eral rule was at Chignik, said
Mr.. Wingard. There the run was
short and the escapement was
some 100000 fish below the num-
her estimated necessary to ade-
quately seed the beds.
In Southeast Alaska, he added,
Icy Strait. the Western, Wran-
CELL and North Prince of Wales
Island districts were uniformly
good. as was clearly revealed by
surveys Just completed. The sur
yey of The eastern and southern
districts have not been completed.
The former, however, probably Will
be as good as the other four
named. The Southern districts
eg.apement is indicated to have
been normal for the odd-numbered
year which is the small cycle.
The South Prince of Wales Is
land district is the latest of the
entire Panhandle. No survey has
been made OF it to date. Pink
salmon are still off the mouths
of a large percentage OF streams
throughout Southeast Alaska, Mr.
Wingard said.
While the red salmon escape
ment in Bristol Bay was general
" good, on two or three streams
the escapement was not all that
was desired. In the Alaska PEN
insula and on Kodiak Island it
was also good. The red salmon
beds of Cook Inlet, Kasilof, and
Kenai were we'll seeded. And all
of the pink streams in Cook In
let were good.
The escapement in Prince Will
liam Sound was fair. At Yaku-
tat. the runs were short and the
pack smaller than usual, but the
escapement was normal.
Viewing the situation as
whole, local officers of the Bureau
of Fisheries have no apprehen-
sion of the spawning escapemsnt
throughout Alaska declared Mr..
Wingard.

KELVINATOR'S
NET EARNINGS
PAY DIVIDEND

DETROIT, Mich, Nov. 90. (Spe-
ciaD-Announcing a dividend vot-
ed by directors of the company, and
net earnings after all charges of
S723 ,560.55 for the fiscal year end
ing September 80, 1888, George w.
Mason, chairman of the board and
president of Kelvinator corporation
today pointed out that the year was
a most satisfactory one.
The earnings figure represents
the net amount after deduction OF
all charges including federal taxes,
depreciation on buildings and equip
ment and other allowances. During
the past year the company also paid
or provided for full payment of
bonds totalling $928,000 which was
the only remaining funded debt.
Cash and short term government
securities on hand amount to $4,-
367 ,22072 as compared with $3,421 :
111.99 one year ago. Total current
liabilities are 81 1,291 900.
In spite of reductions in sales
prices and relatively poor business
conditions for the first half of the
fiscal year, Kelvinator sales showed
increases both in unit volume of
household refrigerators and dollar
volume thereof. Overall dollar sales
also showed an increase. 1t is also
pleasing to report that our distrib-
utors and dealers report the most
satisfactory year in their history" I"
Mason said.
"Kelvinator at this time is look
ingsfor even greater opportunity in
1884. This company plans no let
down in the aggressive advertising
and promotional methods which we
feel we're large responsible for the
past years success. Our entire 1884
plan is based upon the firm convic-
tion that business in this country is
definitely on the upward path"

answered by Reid, thanking the tax
payers for their cooperation.

BEDTIME STORIES

Now while Uncle Wiggily was a
good hopper, his rabbit children
could hop better, SO he was a long
time chasing around without tag
ging anybody. He got quite out of
breath and had to sit down on a
box to rest and let the twinkle come
back on his pink nose.
"Oh, tag is too hard a game for
Daddicums to play" said Jingle.
Lets play hide and go seek" said
Jangle There isn't SO much run
ming in that. You shut your eyes,
Daddicums and count up to 100,
slowly, and We'll all hide. This
box you are sitting on will be home
and if you spy any one Of us hiding,
and if you run back and touch
home first, whoever you spy will
have to shut their eyes next"
"All right agreed the rabbit
gentleman. So he closed his eyes and
counted up to 100 slowly. At the
end of that time he called, Ready
or not, I'm comingp
He began to spy around to see
whom he could first find hiding. He
looked toward his bungalow, and
snuggled down in a pile of dried
leaves near one of the windows he
saw Baby Bunty.
Il spy Baby Bunty!" shouted Un-
Gle Wiggily, running back to touch
the home box. To his surprise, Baby
Bunty did not in the least seem to
mind being caught. Instead OF
coming in, she stood up near the
cellar window and waved her paw
at the rabbit gentleman and said:
"Unkie Wig, come here!'
What for, Bunty he asked. 81
spied you and you'll have to be it
for hide and go seek next time. Why
do you want me to come where you
are?"
Because I heard a noise" said
Bunty in a whisper.
What kind of a noise?' asked
Uncle Wiggily.
"a cellar noise" answered the
little orphan rabbit. II heard a
noise down in your cellar, Uncle
Wig, I wonder what it wasp"
"I wonder, too," said the rabbit.
Then he forgot all about playing
the game and he listened to hear
the same cellar noise Bunty had
heard. What the noise was and who
made it I shall tell you tomorrow
night when the story will be about
Uncle Wiggily down cellar. And
please don't let the kitchen table
chase the dining room up stairs or
it might break one if its legs.

UNCLE WIGGILY'S CELLAR
NOISE

The day after Thanksgiving no
one in Uncle Wiggily's hollow stump
bungalow felt very much like do
ing anything. All the rabbit boys
and girls had eaten so much turnip
pudding and pumpkin pie, to say
nothing of popcorn and roast chest
nut salad, that they ate very little
at the breakfast table.
Dear me! I hope none of them
is ill.," said Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuz-
zy as she saw Baby Bunty push
away her plate Of oatmeal.
mo, I'm not i'll, Nurse Jane"
said the little orphan rabbit. But
I'm not hungry"
They'll be hungry at lunch"
said Mrs. Longears. And that re-
minds me, Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy,
though today is Friday there is no
school on account of yesterday hay-
ing been Thanksgiving, SO We'll
have all our little friends here at
lunch" and she looked at the forty
'leven sixteen rabbits clustered
around the breakfast table.

MAKING THE HEADLINES

Pre-ChrlstmaS season news is enllVened
by the appearance in the headlines of two
veteran warriors, Herbert Hoover and Al
Smith, who furnished plenty of fireworks
in their campaign five years ago and on
numerous occasions since then.
While the unsuccessful candidate in
that campaign has been in the headlines
more or less regularly, the former Pres
ident has been in practical seclusion
since his retirement from the White
House last March.
His return to page one is made possi-
BILE by clash with his excellency, the
governor of California. 1t is a far cry
from swapping broadsides with Al Smith
to exchanging charges with Sunny Jim.
1t is like shooting an army rifle all morn
ing and turning to an air gun in the af-
ternoon.
No such bush-league performance sat-
lsfles Al Smith. He still goes after big
game and doesn't care if it comes in car
lots, as witness his three antagonists of
this week-Mr. Roosevelt, Father Cough
lin and Secretary Ickes.
The Hoover-Rolph feud can be expect
ed to flzzle out in few days, because of
its bush-league calibre. Most of us have
forgotten the bonus war; which is
furnishing ammunition for Sunny Jim,
and we all would like to forget the San
Jose incident, which provides Mr.. Hoover
with his shot. 1t is regrettable that
Sunny jim" also can't enter the realm
of forgotten men,, for at least another
year.
The arena will soon be left to Al and
from past performances he can be de-
pended upon to keep the circus going in
definitely. 1t is something for which all
newspapermen should be thankful.

CURRENT BOOKS REVIEWED BY
f centric PUBLIC LIBRARY

Occasionally the reviewer is con-
fronted WITH book which not only
defies classification, but, because of
its beauty and evident sincerity, de-
fies critical analysis as well. Vera
Brittain's Testament of Youth"
(MacMiillan & Company is of such
quality.
From her diaries and letters, and
those of others, added to personal
recollection, Miss Britain has re-
created the generation Gertrude
Stein once referred to as lost" the
generation with its roots in the
years before the outbreak of the
World war, its growth during the
war, and its full maturity in the
ensuing peace. She has been moved
to do this, she says in her preface,
because it is only in the
light of the past that we, the de-
pleted generation now coming into
the control of public affairs, the
generation which has to make the
present and endeavor to mould the
future, can understand ourselves or
hope to be understood by our sue
ceSsors."
No person old enough to remem-
Der the first decade of this CELL
tury can help being moved and i'm
pressed by the sureness with which
she captures the essence of idealisln
and simplicity youth brought to be
tested in the cataclysm prepared
for it by years Of international di-
plomacy and chauvinistic scheming
She has a tragedy to relate, but it
is a tragedy which does not defeat,
but rather ennobles, and fer writ
ing is far from depressing; indeed
it is brave testament of unbroken
spirit.
Testament of Youth" has every
absorbing quality of great novel,

the events and moods that have
