THREE LITTLE PIGS"
 CRASHES PAGES OF
 ATLANTIC MONTHLY

The Three Little Pigs" have crashed" the stern, auStere and proudly high brow, Atlantic Monthly
 Earnest Elmo Calkins, author and writer on social trends, in a recent article in the Atlantic Monthly titled "Homesick America" writes as follows regarding the popular film subject: ''If the Mickey Mouse sequences are the fairy tales of the machine age, as Dr. Henry Seidel Canby suggests, Three Little Pigs, is the old pre-everything stuff that those of us who are in our sixth decade heard at our mothers knee. Nor is it without significance that the song, Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolff has such run. This air may contribute to recovery the marching song to lead us out of our troubles as Over There popped up the boys in the trenches"

UNALASKACLUB HALLS GENUINE
 PROGRESS MADE
Southwest Alaska Demo- crats Praise Achievements
 of Troy and Dim ond

Southwestern Alaska Democrats, at a recent meeting at Unalaska under the auspices of the Aleu- tian Islands Democratic Club, prais- ed the achievements of Delegate A.. J. Dimond and Gov. John w. Troy, and endorsed the Democratic Divis- ional Platform adopted at a con- vention held at Seward on April T, last. The resolutions of the club have been forwarded to Gov. Troy and the party's territorial head quarters here.
 The Territory has made greater progress during the past year un- der the Democatic administration than for any decade in many years, the organization declared.
 In a letter to the Governor, which accompanied the resolutions, J. A. Yachtmeneff, Secretary of the Club, said: "T'he officers and members of our club are very proud of the progress already made and the accomplishments attained for Alaska through the untiring eff forts of yourself and of Delegate Dimond. In the short time that you have been in office, we have noted more genuine progress than in any one decade For such a record the whole of Alaska should be mighty proud-as we believe it is"

MOTH PLANE HU'RLS BOMB
 OF ROMANCE
Christopher Strong Open ing Sunday with Kath-
 arine Hepburn Starred

The hum of a propeller, the roar of motors and Lady Cynthia Darr- ington's moth plane ascends into the heavens to hurl aromantic bombshell into the orderly life of a staid British statesman, who has been moral husband for twenty years.
 RKO-Radio Pictures "Christo- pher Strong" featuring Katharine Hepburn as the adventurous avi- atrix and Colin Give, coming to the Capitol Theatre Sunday, pie lures this dramatic, fast-stepping situation.
 Cynthia has deliberately veered from love and other youthful frivol- ities. She sates herself with dare devil speed, clipping 200 miles an hour in plane, boat and car. Sir Christopher Strong missed the ad- ventures of youth, but as Cynthia sweeps the skies with her plane, falls in love with her.
 Christopher and Cynthia forget friends, morals, conventions. He leaves home, wife, daughter and society; she makes him her world. They enjoy supreme happiness for more than a year-and then the boomerang in the form of pros pective child. Cynthia doesn't tell Christopher, but formulates a fatal plan to liberate his infatuation and return him to home and career.
 Christopher Strong" was direct ed by Dorothy Arzner. Miss Hep burn is featured, with Colin Give, Helen Chandler, Billie Burke, Ralph Forbes and Irene Brown in sup port. Zoe Akins adapted the story from Gilbert Frankau's novel.

 While June Knight, who appears with Lew Ayers in Universaps vivid comedy drama, "Cross Country Cruise" coming to the Coliseum Theatre tonight only, is well known for her adeptness at dancing and on the stage and radio, it is not generally known that her versatility includes pencil sketch ing of no mean ability-a fact, re- gently brought to light when Miss Knights services were sought by a well-known publisher for cow I pages on nationally circulated periodical.

Favorable audience reception to Professional Sweetheart" and pre- view plaudits from critics for "Raf- ter Romances," may establish Gin ger Rogers and Norman Foster as . regular romantic screen team un- der the RKO-Radio Picture ban ner, according to word, from its studios where a third production co-featuring these players is con templated.
 Miss Rogers made her screen de- but several years ago in support ing role with Foster in Young Man of Manhattan" After she scored in Gold Diggers of 1883, "42nd Street" and You Said a Youthful" RKO-Radio visualized stellar potentialities and signed her to a term contract, under which she first appeared in Profession al Sweetheart" with Foster. Their success was tremendous, and RKO again cast them in "RaNer Ro- mance,' their current vehicle com ing to the Coliseum Theatre Sun day. Previewers have predicted aug mented success for the pair who are already established favorites to film fans.
 The story of ''Rafter Romance" ideally suits the snap and ginger of Miss Rogers, and the unaffected manly character Of Foster. John Wells best-selling novel as inter preted in this RKO-Radio Picture, concerns a boy and girl whose pov- erty forces them to share the same Greenwich Village attic room. They never meet there as the nature of their respective jobs keep them apart. Soon enough, the couple be- come acquainted outside of their

That's damp mud. That truck must have come from out of town"
 May be so," agreed the patrol man, "but there's nothing strange about that. A lot of companies ship by truck nowadays" You're right, of course," agreed the detective, ''but I'm wondering still,-"
 Wondering what?" persisted
 "Wondering if it rained up- state, or even in Jersey last night" answered the detective. You know it didn't rain here, but when l talked to my wife on the phone, she said they'd had 8 regular cloud-burst out in Long Island this morning. I'm wondering,-"
 Sounds goofy to be-" com mented Mulligan.
 Perhaps" answered the detec- tive. "But I'm going to drop into this cigar shop and call the Weather Bureau"
 Five minutes later the patrol man met him strolling up the block from the little cigar and sta- tionery shop.
 Any luck, Harry?" asked the uniformed man.
 "Lots," replied Graydon grimly. That shower in Long Island was purely local. There was no other rain within 300 miles of New York during the last twenty-four hours"
 Well, what of it?" comm ented the befogged patrolman.
 Don't you seer" snapped the sleuth irritably. ''If that truck brought in dry goods from Long Island, it was reversing the usual procedure. There are no shirt fac-

He handed the package to the successful bidder, and the latter strode quickly out of the auction room. He was an elderly, unob- trusive little man, and he melted into the crowd at the entrance un- noted, by any one except the uni- formed patrolman strolling down the block. The latter fell into step beside him and spoke softly.

 roo much of a bargain" re- sponded the detective firmly. T stopped in, thinking this new auc- ton room might be a 'gyp joint but they are selling good goods at outrageously low prices"
 Graydon shook his head. "I had that idea at once," he said, Out I bought some stuff and discovered that the auction is being conduct eded by Blake & Wingright. You know them. That outfit is strictly all right. They never handle any stolen goods. I can't understand it."
 'It's funny" agreed the patrol man idly. Where are you headed for?"
 q think I'll go back and watch 1n+nafivya as the two men halted.
 THERE COMES ANOTHER TRUCK-LOAD OF STUFF"
 "There comes another truck load of stuff," observed the patrolman, indicating huge vehicle that was backing into place outside the auc- tion room. Its surely a Blake 6 Wingright bus, too. Nothing wrong there, is there Graydon?"
 There was no answer. The pa- trolman glanced curiously at his companion, and observed the latter studying the vehicle intently.
 You don't see anything wrong with it, do you, Harry?" he re- peated.
 The detective nodded solemnly.
 There is something odd about that truck" he commented. "No- tice anything about the wheels, Mulligan?"
 The patrolman stared earnestly for a long minute. Then he shook his head. You dicks are beyond me-" he volunteered. T don't see anything wrong about them wheels except that they're covered with mud"
 Exactly" snapped the detec- tive. "And how long has it been since 1t rained here?"

The latest type of Wright Cyclone, the most powerful single-row radial engine in the world to-day, will rule the air for most of the coming year. This beauty develops 715 horse power, which is ample authority. Hoewver, before the year is out, both leading engine builders. Wright and Pratt & Whitney, will place on the market double-row radial engines, of IA cylinders each, that will step up the power to TAO. More power, with less frontal resistance, means that by late in the year the airplane de- signers will be ready to try the new motors on their faster ships.

United Press Staff CorreSpondent) New York (UP3-Now that all post-morterms on dear departed Anno Domini 1883 have been con- cluded, 1t is quite in order to look into the future and see what can be expected during the coming happier year. No line of human endeavor lends itself more safely | to forecast than aviation. Profess sional aeronautical men, currently in step with developments, can al- ways predict right down to the last mile-per-hour increase in speed that may be expected. Likewise. each and every improvement in de- sign is foreseeable at least one call endar year in advance.
 E The public, of course, is mostly interested in the increase in flying speeds. Therefore, a galnce at the various models in use to-day will show what steps in that direction most likely will be taken during 1884.
 Of the three major trans-conti- mental air lines, two will stand with what they now have, although American Airways, with new and improved Curtiss condors, will step up their cruising speed from 135 m. D. h. to 145 m,p.h. This ten mile per hour increase is due to the new Curtiss controllable-pi pitch propeller. United Airlines will continue trying to improve their twin engine Boe- ings, but it is unlikely that the factory will attempt to go beyond the 160 m.p.h. cruising speed.
 On the T. .ranscontinental-West- ern Air Line the biggest advance in recent years will be made early in the spring, when the new twin engine Douglas airliners will be put into service. These planes are capable of leaving the ground, with full load, with one engine com pletely dead and climb over the Continental Divide. Repeated tests have been successfully made under such unfavorable conditions. This increases their safety factor exact ly 100 uper cent as far as engine failure is concerned. As for speed, the Douglases will cruise at better than three miles a minute, with a top speed in excess of 200 m.p.h.
 In the private flying class both major manufacturers, Stinson and Waco, promise nc great advance ment either In speed or safety. Both types, four-place cabin planes.

PWA USED AS
 UTILITY WEAPON
Texas Cities Ask U. s. Money to Construct
 Municipal Plants
By w. WINSTON COPELAND United Press Staff CorrespOndent)

By w. WINSTON COPELAND United Press Staff Correspondent
 Fort Worth, Tex (UP)-Several Texas cities, which for Q number of years have fought privately owned public utilities for reduced rates,' are finding a sturdy weapon in public works administration funds.
 With PWA funds available for municipal improvements, several cities are threatening to obtain money from the fund to establish municipal ownership of public util- ities unless the privately owned companies scale down their rates.
 Two notable examples of this are exhibite dat Fort Worth and Lubbock.
 Fort Worth city authorities held the threat of PWA funds over the heads of the privately owned elec- trio company here. The outcome was a reduction of municipal rates. With this success tucked ill its vest, the city council imme- diately set out to force the local traction company to reduce trolley and bus rates.
 A committee was appointed to investigate the cost of establishing and operating a municipal bus line, warning the company that unless it reduced rates the city would withdraw it's franchise and establish it's own system. The fight is still going on.
 City authorities at Lubbock were even more stern. They made no unusual pleas to the privately owned gas company but asked the public works administration for $1,700,000 to construct munich pal gas system. Naturally the gas company is strongly opposing. City authorities. however, point out that the municipally owned water system has been highly successful and that such success would carry over to the gas system.
 San Angelo. Marlin and other citie and towns are following the example set by Fort Worth and Lubbock. Final decision has yet to be made on the Lubbock applica- tion.

CREDIT RATING

The little man puffed reflectively and gazed at the ceiling.
 EASY CHIEF, TT.
 CAME FROM MUD"
 "Easy, chief," he responded. "It mostly came from mud on truck wheels"
 "Yes, but how did that work it?'' pressed the Inspector-"and how did you discover this so soon?"
 "Oh, simply rode out to Bright vile with the truck driver" ex- plained the detective. "And when I got there, I found that the stuff was being shipped from Burke Brothers. knew that firm. Burke Brothers is an old established house. They've had the biggest drygoods store in that part of Long Island for years. And knew that Burke Brothers would not be sell ing $3 shirts for two bits, unless something was wrong. Then I looked at my shirts and saw they were made by Simmons. So just drove up to Trojanville and called on the general manager. He got interested right away! We looked 1t up, and discovered that Burke bEOtHcTb udu 'OEOCEcu @1fV,VVV worth of new stuff the week be- fore. It was shipped on ninety days time. There was no trouble about that, because their credit rating in Dun and Bradstreet indi- cated they were good for $150, 900 and they had traded with Sim mons for years.
 "Then I went over to see three other big drygoods manufacturers in Trojanville, and found that each of them had shipped $100,000 worth of stock to Burke Brothers within the past two weeks. They also had been glad to extend credit because of the Dun and Bradstree ct ratings. They had not even both- cred to check up an old-established firm lik Burke Brothers.
 Well, there was the answer!
