At the moment Paramount is

the West feature, i. e., Going

BeIIany Comeback

Sidney Skolsky says Madge Bel

the Fox lot while striving for q
picture comeback" Once she
drew $2,500 q week with the same
producers.
Little Miss Madge is tempera-
mental and high strung and that
is partially responsible for her to-
bcggan ride in California. Yet some
will give her credit for the rebel
lion which removed her from the
Fox payroll. Miss Bellamy refused
to make any more leg and under
wear pictures after she had been
cast in a number of features where
the highlight was disrobing the
star or compelling her to parade
half naked. They passed up her
option. Today she would be a
front page heroine for refusing to
have her legs starred.

This is pure hokum that took the

from registering as utter nonsense.
I wish I could Join the Hooray
brigade for Lynn Overman in the
same picture, for I have known
him since the days when he was

is that in some of his scenes he
is as incomprehensible in speech
as Stepin Fetchit. That's his
handicap in Little Miss Marker"

him from getting anywhere in
pictures until he correctS it.

AN HONORED VISITOR

Wrangell is honored this week
by having as a visitor, the Ri. Rev.
Peter Trimble Rowe. Bishop of Alas
ka, Protestant Episcopal church
who is entering his 99th year in
missionary work in Alaska.
Beloved all over Alaska, the
bishop, by his inimitable charm, and
personality, backed by SO years of
thoughtful care, practical philan-
thropy and Christian effort for both
the white and Native people of the
Alaska frontier, receives a warm
welcome wherever he goes.
Wrangell delighted in his visits
all the years before he made posi-
BILE in 1926 an up-to-date modern
hospital here. Each year now when
he makes his annual visit to the
church properties at Wrangell he has
the knowledge that here and there
through the community are men,
women and children who are among
the living solely because the hospi-
tai and it's medical facilities were
available in emergency cases when
the patient could not have lived to
reach medical care at other towns.
The hospital is never vacant. AL
ways there are from two or three
up to ten, twelve or more patients.
The majority are restored to health,
but the last days are made comfort
able for those whose illnesses are
incurable.
Naturally Wrangell is deeply ap-
preciative that the bishop has used

his talent and the authority of his
office for its welfare. To get the
funds to establish and maintain the
churches, hospitals, schools and
mission projects for Alaska he is
obliged to travel thousands of miles
each year in the States. The proper
supervision and inspection of the
Alaska missions necessitates long,
arduous trips that would try the
fortitude of any man. The discom
forts and the WEAKNESS incident to
his travel are never mentioned by
the bishop. He recounts only the
humorous and the interesting phas-
es and goes about doing the Lord S
work without complaint, leaving the
influence of a consecrated life
wherever he goes, and reviving in
many a man, the religious faith in
which he was reared.

500 STUDENTS SIGN PAPERS
PETITION FOR DECAPITATI0N

PHILADELPHIA hundred
students of Temple university want
their heads chopped off.
AT least, they signed a petition to
that effect which was circulated by
the Temple University News.
AS a result, members of the uni
versity's administration, who have
been annoyed by numerous petitions
throughout the year have definite
proof that most students sign petit
lions without reading them.
The Temple News document,
which was based on a similar one
circulated recently by the Universe
ty of Akron Buchtelite, asked for
an extra holiday at Easter, in cele-
bration of the birthday of the uni
versity. 1t concluded with the agree
ment that if the holiday was grant
ed, each petitioner would "decapi-
tate himself with extreme joy"
The fact that President Beury's
birthday is in August, and not in
April, apparently escaped the atten-
ton of the signers. Joseph H. Shinn,
editor of the Temple News, pre-
pared the first copy of the petition
as a joke, but when many members
of his own staff signed it without
question, he decided to try 1t on the
general student body. The sigma
lures were obtained to two days,
of np
most prominent students.

NEW YORK, June 28-Bank clear

smaller than for any full week since
early in the year. The total this week
for all leading cities in the United
States, as reported to Dun IL Brad
street, Inc, was S4,375, ,407,0 which
was 84 per cent below that of year
ago. In the same comparison a week
earlier there was a gain of 5 per cent.
Clearings at New York City were S2,-
86l ,579 900, loss of l7.3 per cent,
while the aggregate of Sl,5l3,828, 600
for all outside centers was higher by
1872 per cent.
The unusual activity in the Specula-

especially in stock trading at New
York City, SWelled hank settlements
then-hence the loss shown there in
this years report. Clearings this week
are 81 .204 .879 900 below those for the
preceding week Some decline for the
fourth week of June is not unusual;
for the same two weeks last year, the
reduction was $779054, 900.

The sales authorities admit that the

had some effect upon the purchasing

improvement in other sections is cited
as more than offsetting the loss.

Contract tonnage TO be shipped to

The trend of steel consumption by
the automotive industry is still diff

couraging.
Recent price changes have been
negligible. Bars and semi-fnished
steel at Duluth will be reduced 81 a
