 About an hour ago. Two men. and the girl from the plane, and the guy who was waiting with the car. i" "iow did Miss Kent look?"
 Their informant swayed his shoul- ders and hlinkec his eyes; it was a poor imitation of an intoxicated per son.
 "Can the act" warned Winslow gruffly.
 THE man shrugged his shoulders l and said. "It ain't illegal in this country. They looked kind of blottc if you ask me. Except the little guy with the eagle-beak. Mean looking little cuss. Loo. ed like he was ready to heave a stick of dynamite if anybody spoke to him. ..."

PER CAPITA DEBT IN US. RISES
 S7.1O AS NATION SPENDS MORE

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3-Finanei- al experts looked skyward today for the still invisible ceiling of pub lie debt that mounted by still more millions as the Treasury add ed another $710 to the per capita burden of the nations population.
 This was the amount by which the S90O,0O0,000 of new borrowing offered today, would spread among the country's 26,67O,000 people. Already they carry a debt of $27,- 8,O00,000 or $215,50 for every man, woman and child.
 These figures took on added sig nificance as President Roosevelt and a group of his chief aides talked over in Warm Springs today new plans calling for the spending of many billions more.
 Treasury figures made available today for the first five months of the fiscal year showed the Govern ment was spending an average of $1.9S for every dollar for receipts. which meant that the 9S cents was borrowed For the same five months a year ago the outlay was $1.67.

 FOR 20 YEARS AT SELD0VIA

The civic societies of Seldovia re planning for the coming Christmas celebration, which will be the goth anniversary of a pub lie festival.

 This year a committee of nine has been appointed made up of three from each of the following organizations:
 The Seldovia Women's club, the Brotherhood of Native Sons and Daughters and the Alaska Resident Fishermen's Union. Dances and carnival are now in progress to raise funds necessary to make the occasion memorable.
 The big feature of the celebra- tion will be public Christmas tree and a special committee has bee appointed that has promised to ob- tain the largest one within radius of 10 miles that can be erected in the hall.
 Hundreds of presents will be passed out from the tree, some thing for every child in the com munity, while fruit, candy and nuts will be there in abundance.

Alonzo Moser has moved from his farming community in South western Minnesota and will try his luck in Alaska, and while nothing definite has been decided upon he has his eye on the Matanuska val fey with thought of taking home stead there. MT. Moser has a farm program in mind that will develop an Alaska market for farm raised and dressed meats, if his plans work out. That, he feels, should make up the lack of market pro- duce He does not look upon Alaska as the lice frozen north" by any means, describing his section of Minnesota as a much colder re- zion than this section of the Ter ritory.

sacrifice his child public. Mr..
Lloyd knows that the juvenile
public tastes today are different
than those of ten and fifteen
years ago. The only thing that
must remain the same is that the
subject matter and the acting be
clean. Such a picture is THE
Cats Paw" made from a highly
successful magazine story.
1t is true that many school
children are greatly interested in
everything that Mae West and
Joe Penner do. Mr.. Lloyd in his
latest movie becomes an adult en-
tertainer with sufficient appeal TO
younger people to make him the
most popular comedian on the
screen.
ITO my way of thinking, THE
Il Cats Paw" will be another
gold mine for Lloyd and the Fox
company which released it. 1t is
one Of the cleanest, funniest and
best movies ever made. That's my
verdict and I think it will be
yours.
Una Merkel is a wonder foil
for Lloyd. In fact, this picture
establishes her as one of the three
best condolences in Hollywood.
The character work of George
barber is splendid.
The cast is large and an i'm
portant one. 1t is not all Harold
Lloyd this time, but a complete
triumph for actors, director,
writer, and cameramen.
It is the comedy triumph of the
year. OF course you will not miss
it.

Newspapers Reflect Chance

CTRANGERS passing through Chicago in those
~ days. in many cases preferred to spend their
time between trains in the railroad stations,
ing out more than they had to in going from one
terminal to another. Some strangers, in fact still
know Chicago by the tough reputation from which
the city suffered in Mr. Capone's time and still avoid
the streets as much possible.
The change is apparent in the Page l matter
in the newspapers. The Chicago papers, although
they sometimes did permit themselves a hurt edito-
rial remonstranCe against overemphasis on crime,
never did play crime down. When an important
hoodlum found claimed by death in some weed
grown gully in the outskirts they laid it the line
without reservation, although these occurrences
tended to injure their town.
They do not seem to have been equally frank
about the outbreak of dysentery last year when a
treatment of the epidemic suitable to its Importance
might have frightened people away from the worlds
fair But there is a difference of opinion, even about
that They claim they gave the story all it worth
according to their news Judgment and as soon as
they heard of it.
Gambling continues to thrive, of course There
always has been or less open gambling in Chi
cago and it seems to be the policy of the present
administration to permit the parors to operate The
Daily News depores this and prints crusade stories
accompanied by minute diagrams of the gambling
rooms, but nobody does anything to them.
