 (D Promotion of friendly rela- tions between citizens of the United States and Canada
 No attempt is made to evaluate the benefits Canada would derive from this project, but it may be mentioned that inaddition to such direct devel- opment of new Canadian territory as might be brought about by, the road, Canada would gain the business and commerce incident to providing ser viee and supplies to motorists using the road for access to Alaska.
 6. Since tn eannual cost of operat- ing federal agencies in Alaska is about $7,00O, ,00O in excess of the reve- nues, the expenditure of an additional $3,O00, ,000-spread over several years
 for the purpose of development of the Territory to 3 more nearly self supporting basis is not unreasonable.

 she met in France while. awaiting the

 the world She was muchs interested
 to know that languages were now, of ficially recognized for the inter-ex- change of 7deas-both French. and English. If the talw kere given in French. it. was immediately trans lated into English-or vice versa. Mrs. Strong talked with the men of the Associated Press concerning the outcome of the conference, for which they did not predict too bright a flu ture. She was proud of the fact that our. delegates had shown greater Estatesmaiship in the. deliberations at !; London, and that we were growing liup" when taking our place among the nations of the earth. The seats for liyision were very imited-thirty in I:one room and fifty nj another-so Mrs Strong felt very grateful to her friend for arranging to give her a glimpse of this great meeting.
 Mrs. Strong found business condi-
 tions in the East decidedly improved
 in tn efour-month period in which she
 had been in Europe. The stores are
 crowded, factories everywhere had
 smoking stacks, and the faces of peo-
 pie looked happier in the Eastern and
 Central States where she visited.
 While in Washington, D. C., she was delighted to meet Bishop Rowe in the lobby of a hotel where she had gone

INCOME REFUND
To BE KILLED

Democratic leaders Of the House
and Senate reached a tentative
agreement today to strike $28,000,-
600 recommended by the Hoover
Administration for payment of in
come tax refunds, from the vetoed
first deficiency appropriation bill.
President Hoover vetoed the bill
because it carried a provision CIV
ing the Joint Congressional Com
mittee on Taxation power to re-
view, reduce or reject income tax
refunds authorized by the Trea-
sury in excess Of $4,000. Mr..
Hoover declared this provision was
unconstitutional.
Democratic leaders apparently
will wait until after March 4 be-
fore attempting to legislate on the
subject. Meanwhile, the Treasury
will have no power to pay out the
$28, 600, 1000 of refunds authorized
by it within the past year.
A refund of nearly $4,000, 900 to
the estate Of the late Ogden Mills,
father Of the present Secretary of
the Treasury, was included in
this total.

RUTH CHATTERTON
 IN CAPITOL FILM
Female to Be Shown Only Tomorrow = 'Pent-
 house. CO=Feature

One of the most startling love themes ever presented on the screen will be unfolded at the Cap- itol theater Sunday with the show ing of the First National picture, Female" with Ruth Chatterton in the stellar role.
 This story, by Donlad Henderson Clark, Is not of one love, but of many. It reverses the role of the philandering male, with Miss Chat terton playing the part of the huntress who casts a cool and calculating eye on the handsome young men she selects for her 'vampish, nocturnal adventures.
 These are mostly employees of her own concern, for she is a big business woman who heads an au- tomobile manufacturing plant. She is as ruthless in love as in her fi- nancial dealings, for she carelessly casts the young men aside as soon as she tires of them and they try to carry the courtship into the office.
 As Alison Drake, the business she feels that she is @ who is not bound by the ordinary conventions of the world about her. It is not until she discovers there is one man who will not succumb to her wiles that she wakes up to the fact that her slant on life Is 8 twisted one. Not in 8 long while has Ruth Chatter ton offered so powerful portrayal and so moving a drama.
 The co-feature is Penthouse" starring Warner Baxter and Myrna Loy.
