Nady Christians, Helen Hayes
 Fan, Succeeds ita Starring Role
By ROBBIN COONs

HOLLYWOOD, Aug 1.-There is that about Mady Christians, the continental star, which reminds of Helen Hayes. So it may be more than co-incident that Miss Chris tians, best known here for her work in the silent film, Dream Waltz will begin her contract with the starring role in Wicked Woman" originally intended for Miss Hayes.
 Unlike the typical Hollywood product, Miss Christian is tall, and neither dainty nor exotic. She has blue eyes and golden brown hair, and is engagingly natural in ap- pearance as in manner.
 She has waited longer than most foreign stars to come to Holly wood-and that's a story.
 War, Death, Fame
 With her German mother and her German-Danish father, Mady came to America when she was d little girl. Her father had Ger man theatre, but he did not care for Mady's stage ambitions. How ever, he sent her to Berlin to Max Reinhardt to see how she would fare. She was there, just begin ming. when the war came, virtual ly cutting off communication witr her father.
 Rudolph Christians closed his German theatre and came to Hol- lywood, becoming we'll known as a character actor. Meanwhile, Mady. in Berlin with her mother, rose in fame on stage and screen. After the war, they planned to join Christians in ollywood, but con- tracts intervened. When definite plans finally were made for the journey, Rudolph Christian dnd. Mady renamed abroad.
 When she eventually returned to America, it was to the New York stage. There in recent months she has been appearing in plays which lived briefly but gave her personal acclaim. A call to Hollywood for the Wicked Woman" test brought her the role and a long term M-G-M contract.
 A Helen Hayes Fan
 Miss Christian likes to be told that there is something Helen Hayesian about her. She is Hayes fan-and considerable fo a movie fan regarding other stars. too. Say it again. love it!" she laughed heartily at the remark.
 Mady is pronounced "Maid-y," not "Maddie.' Her own name is Margaret, after the heroine of the opera Faust"
 In Vienna, where she was born, little girls are called "Mady," a diminutive of "maedchen," or young girl" Her parents so ad- dressed her, and school chums in America took it up. When she entered German films, a change from Margaret Christians was sug- gested, and she became Mady.

FIVE MEMBERS 0F HOUSE ARE
 DEvlSINC PLAN
Declare Method of Dispos- ing of Private Bills Nec-
 essary for Future
By HERBERT PLUMMER

WASHINGTON, Aug. Five members of the House of Repre- sentatives are working this sum- mer to devise some scheme where by the tempers of Congressmen may be kept running more smooth ly.
 O'Connor of New York, Green wood of Indiana and Smith of Virginia, all Democrats, with Mapes of Michigan and Lehlbach of New Jersey, Republicans, have been charged with thinking up some way of handling the thousands of private bills and claims against the Government which are dumped every year into the hoppers of the House and Senate.
 Probably nothing in House pro- cedure gives the leaders such a headache as the private calendar. On several differe occasions during the last session the House found itself completely paralyzed and unable to proceed because of it.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1934-08-01
ONE OBJECTION

The difficulty lies in the fact that bills on the private calendar virtually must be disposed of by unanimous consent. One objection to a bill during it's consideration holds it up for the time being. If it is called up again, three o5- jactions can kill it entirely.
 Eagle of Texas, for example near the close of the last session held up all of the bills on the pri- vate calendar single-handed Some one previously had objected to a bill of his which, would have ad- justed a claim of $4,000.
 Eagle was frank about it. He served notice that he would not permit single bill to pass until that one of his which was so cruelty and unjustly slaughtered was approved.
 He relented on the closing day of the session, but before he did he announced that if he was returned to the next Congress either the one-man objection rule would be amended "or there will not be one single private bill passed in the Seventy-Fourth Congress"

Many SectlOnS visited
 Approximately 15 towns and set dement's were visited on the trip. Mining activity was observed throughout the trip, and in the Nome area, the party was told that the strike did not hinder their operations to any marked degree. In addition to the regular opera tions about twenty men are work ing the beach at Nome.
 Geld Rocked Out
 In Golovin several natives were observed selling gold dust which they had rocked out, and accord ing to MT. Baker, they seemed quite familiar with the American money policy and the increased price of gold. This particular group ranged from Is to 20 years in age.
 MT. Baker will stay over night in Juneau confering with Gov. John John w. Troy, Charles w. Hawkes. worth, of the Office of Indian Af- fairs, Anthony E. Karnes, Con- missioner of Education; Ike P Taylor, Chief Engineer of the Alas ka Road Commission, and M. D. Williams, District Engineer, Blu reau of Public Roads. He will leave tomorrow by plane for Ketch- ikan where he will board the Yu- kon for Seattle, enroute to Wash ington, D. C., via California.

 A recurrence of rumors of com- ing currency imitation is met with a positive reaffirmation that no such step is contemplated.

 disposing of bills on the private calendar.
 Since the claimants can't sue the Government their only resource is to enlist the aid of their Represen- tative in getting a bill through appropriating the money. Often the time spent costs more than the claim.
 In the face of threats such as the one made by Eagle and others a reform is said to have become definitely necessary.
 And every Congressman knows it is this type of legislation which does most to keep his political fences in good shape back home.

Several Of the downtown
stores have model rooms on dis

use separate. single mirrors

No part of modern decoration
is more beautiful or more use
full than the widespread use OF
mirrors. Nearly all the better
decorators are suggesting them
now in rooms of all types, not
only in modern interiors.
An old trick, known from the
time mirrors we're first used, is
to place one so that it reflects
the whole room, giving the CT
feet of a vista. That trick has
been greatly improved, however,
so that in some rooms you get
the impression of practically
unlimited space.

ing when you consider that for 81
days and nights they travelled by
land, sea and plane so their
owner, Benjamin Lepow, might
present them to the President OF
the United States.
Zinbar, who cuddles in Mr.
Lepow's left hand, was born in
Afmadu, Africa, about August l.
Mama and Papa Caracul had gone
hunting when Mr.. Lepow arrived
on the scene, so they didn't dis
cover the kidnapping until too late.
Found in Cave
About two weeks later Fader
was sleeping peacefully in a cave
about so miles from Garbatula
when somebody picked him up
gently, put him in a basket with
Zinbar, and headed for the
Abyssinian coast. DR.. Mann says
Fader is a serval one of the
numerous cousins of the cat fam
lily. Both tabbies are about three
months old.
Mr.. Lepow, who spends most
of his time in Africa trapping
leopards and shipping their skins
to the United States, says the
kittens will make nice pets if
they are kept at home and
treated like ordinary house cats.
However, once in the Zoo, they
will revert to type and in a few
months will be splitting and
scratching just like any other
wildcat.

that Fader is an old topper. He

One day, when Fader was feel

him the whisky to pull him
through. After that well
he just got the habit. However,
