MANY persons who are not familiar

Impression Erroneous
"This impression Is definitely and
positively erroneous"
When Congress had under consider

Later on It was decided that the
emergency created BY the banking
holiday Of March, 1888, required an
earlier effective date, and 90 . further
provision was added to the bill calling

come effective July l. 1894.
Regardless Of Bin
Congress now Is considering Z bin
to extend the temporary insurance to

whether It Is not. depositors may rest
assured that deposit insurance Is here

that their deposits up to the amount
Of 1880 are insured in those banks

 At the same time small window on the opposite side of the room went out, causing the full force of the gust to pass through the room. A cabinet of instruments was blown over, damaging many of them and breaking all glass containers in the cabinet. Within 45 minutes, how ever, a temporary operating room was fitted up and will be used until the other is repaired.
 A garage belonging to George Doc ley was partially destroyed as was one belonging to T. M. Donohoe The Manhattan Hotel was also among the business establishments suffering the loss of plate glass win doWs.

 Supt B. N. Gwin sent out general word this morning that school would close for the. day to avoid injury to school children who had to come from long distances.
 Several section of the city were without lights and power until this afternoon as feeder lines were torn from poles. The Alaska Public Ut- ilities, however, reported no serious damage to it's equipment and had men working on the interrupted ser vice as soon as it was light enough for safe work on the poles.
 An early survey of the Municipal and Lathrop hangars revealed that no damage had been done there. One airplane, anchored on the field, was also safe and undamaged.
 This mornings wind storm was likened to the one in 1881 when the roof of the school house was blown off and damage over the city ran into thousands of dollars. However, today's storm was said to be not as serious as the one three years ago, although a final survey is likely to put the loss through property dam age almost as high.

(Cordova Times, Dec. 5


 A bowling wind storm last night, which, when it steadied down long enough to be measured on the U s. Signal Corps wind meter, showed a velocity of 55 miles an hour, kept citizens awake most of the night, and wrought considerable damage throughout the city.
 The wind increased during the morning hours and blew hardest be tween seven and eight o'clock. The direction was east to southeast.
 Early this morning Mayor w. H. Chase summoned a fire patrol to guard against any possible blaze which, if started, wolud have meant disaster.

"SWEET ADELINE" CONTEST
Varied Career
For Marvin

Johnny Marvin, lonesome singer
Of the air, who is appearing at
Warner Bros. Earle Thea ter,
might not have become one of
the outstanding phonograph-rec-
ording, muSical-comedy, talking
picture, vaudeville and radio
stars, if he had not been inter
eSted in that strange musical
instrument known as the ukulele.
Fifteen years ago, he was a
mere youth on an Oklahoma
ranch. One day he became inter-
eSted IN the ukulele, and it Wasn't t
long until he was singing songs
and strumming the uke in one of
the big drug stores in Dallas, Tex.
His entertaining abilities, how
ever, were merely incidental to
his real job of jerking sodas. This
job he had taken, because there
was no opportunity to follow his
regular trade of a barber.
Several months after he made
his debut in the drugstore, he was
induced to join tab show. After
that he toured Texas, playing
with groups of HawaiianS and
with several minstrel shows. Then
he went into vaudeville, where
scouts for one of the phonograph
recording companies discovered
him. Before long, he was one of
Americas outstanding recorders.
From vaudeville, Johnny Mar
vim graduated into the role of
featured principal in Eddie Dowl-
ing'S musical production of
Honeymoon Lane" which played
a record-breaking engagement at
the Knickerbocker Theater in
New York City. Since then, Mar
vim has played sensational engage
mentS in London.

Inc same theory would seem to
hold true of the Hollywood celeb
rites who make acting their liveli-
hood. Without some form of &C.
centricity, some colorful phase of
their lives, none of the ranking
stars today would have risen be-
yond mediocrity.
This eccentricity IS just another
way of describing the super ego
which every great artist of the
screen must possess in liberal
doses. And it hardly ever is an
offensive dose at that for no truly
great players ever try to force
their ego on the public.
Josef Won Sternberg, perhaps
the most colorful of the many in
teresting personalities in Holly
wood, makes the statement that
he would not be interested in
directing any person, man or
woman, who was not eccentric,
or who lacked ego.
Marlene Dietrich is in complete
accordance with these views,
despite her many so-called verbal
spats with her director. She knew,
when she arrived here five years
ago, that she would have to be
different in order to stand out
among the hundreds of beautiful
women in the movie village.
She claims that her stunt of
wearing pants was merely because
they are comfortable. I doubt
this. However, it's her story-and
she's stuck with it. And, another
thing-she did accomplish her
purpose. Let's skip it.
Charles Laughton is one of the
strangest of Hollywood PERSONAL
ties. He lives his life as the mood
dictates and conventions be
hanged. One of the worst-dressed
men in cinemaland because he
feels more "at home" that way,
he is the most prominent bohem-
ian type in the screen colony. He
does what he wants, whenever he
wants.
Also eccentric to an unusual de-
gree is Katharine Hepburn. The
whole world has heard of her
idioSyncraSieS, which are nothing

more nor less than expressions Of
her artistic ego.
They're all bit crazy-thank
heaven-One reason why these
movie people are interesting, why
the public hangs on to every word
they say.

The earth throbbed on till morning light
In silent wondersong.
And there mighty whsperngs-deep spoke to deep
Broad earth and bending sky paean sung.
There a silence, heavier far than sleep,
Presaging that King had come.
All night the earth throbbed in mystic song.
Dawn broke in wonder through the crystal dome
In tones of silver silence thrilling long
To tell that Christ had come.
