 STAR, CAPITOL SUNDAY

limitation of Life" the Fannie Hurst novel made into picture starring Claudette Colbert and War ren Williams, opens Sunday-mati- nee and evening-at the Capitol Theatre.
 Absolute realism was insisted on for this production. Tn the early se- quences, Claudette Colbert oper- ates a restaurant, specializing in flapjacks. For the week spent in shooting this sequence a tank of pancake batter was mixed, cooked and eaten every day.
 Warren William is a marine sci- enlist in the picture. A deep sea fishing expedition was outftted to bring in a collection of rare fish to stock nine small aquariums in the setting representing Williams study.
 A replica of the famous Atlantic City Boardwalk was built extend- ing over 250 feet and furnished with shops and booths. In all, 48 sets were built for the production.

NIGHT SCHOOL.
 CLASSES SURE
 IN FEW FIELDS
Commercial Subjects Find
 Interest," Others Need More Registrations

With reservations. public school authorities announced today that Juneau would have a Night Schcol this fall. This announcement was made following an enrolment meet
 ing held last night in the Juneau High School to test interest in the adult education program. Officials said tcday that the re- suits of last nights meeting "are not definite but that only a i'm ited number Of subjects will be taught, unless more rsgia atraticn are received soon.
 However, 1t is definite that typ!ng an1 shorthand will be offered. Sev- lentsen par9ons already have sisnei u up for those subjects. It had been announced previously thst at least ten persons would be required before . class would bs started
 Here's Registrations
 The number Of prospective stu dents have signed for the follow ing subjects: mathematics T; man. Iual training. 4; cooking, 2; sewing, l2; English, ?; business law, 5; and l French, l.
 ! Superintendent A. B. Phillips ex- plained that additional registrations will be accepted until the opening of school on September B. He indi- cated that a few more students in the manual training and business law classes would assure their pre- sentation,
 Although seven are interested in mathematics. their specific subjects range from plane geometry to trig- onometry, and more students must sign in order to have any one of these mathematical courses offered. The same is true of the English class, aimed to teach sentence struc- ture, composition, grammar, punctu- ation and construction.
 All subjects, it was explained, will be taught on the basis of two nights Der week and two hours per night, with the exception of typing and shorthand, manual training and cooking and sewing. These subjects will be taught for three hour pe- riods. All courses will last for ten weeks. some continuing on for an- other ten weeks.
 Night school must pay it's way and minimum fee of $5 for ten weeks must be charged" Superin- tendent Phillips said. TO employ teacher for ten weeks makes small classes impossible and prohibitive in price. It is the expectation of the school authorities to make each Night School class pay it's own way. There can be no reason for one small class continuing at the ex- pence of others more large.
 Instructors will not necessarily be selected for the Night School class es from the staff of the Juneau public schools, but may be drawn from others in the community wno may be well prepared in any par ticular field, it is announced.

The farmer of today is better in
formed on financial social economi
and other national and international
problems than was the farmer OF
pre-war days.
Much of the credit for that must
go TO theagricultural cooperative
organizations. which have recog.
nized the iced of educating thei.
members in order to make then

Ped soldiers in the fight for farm
recovery and prosperity.
The co-ops do not simply try tt

widen markets andraise prices tt
profitable levels the disseminate
q wealth of information and opin
ion that bears on thousand prob
lens which directly or indirectly
affect the welfare of agriculture
That work, though it is little
publized, is every bit as valuable
as the work the co-ops do in con
nection with the regular routine
of the farming industry.

Losing Us Rattle

Contrary to the popular belief, you
cannot always tell a rattlesnake's age
by the number of joints on its rattle
This reptile is born with nothing more
than horny mob at the end of its tail,
but after three days it sheds its skin
and joint Is added to the mob. The
skin-shedding process is repeated sew
eral times year, and with each sue
eeeding mott another bony ring Is add.

more than faint rustling sound. but

able to express annoyance by rapidly
vibrating its tail, producing a shrill
~rattle" which may be heard 20 yards
away. When the number of joints ex-
ceeds seven, they generally begin to
break off, so that when an elderly rat
tlesnake loses its temper 1t also loses
part of Its rattle.-Tit-B Magazine.

WHEN SPRING is IN THE AIR

This is the time of year when
that seasonable disease, spring
fever, runs it's course. One of its
more common manifestations is an
urge to clean up ones property
in, order to get rid of winters ac-
cumulation of rubbish, both in
doors and out.
These individual clean up cam
paigns are usually inaugurated fol-
the purpose of improving a home S
physical appearance-but, whether
the property owner realizes it or
not, they likewise contribute to-
wards fattening his pocketbool
inasmush as they eliminate many
ards.
The actic is one of the places in
the home where odds and ends &C
cumulate-and it is also one of
the commonest starting places for
fires. The accumula-
ton of ancient newspapers-thos
dog-eared magazines those old
clothes which you'll never wear
again-that broken down furni-
ture, all offer an invitation to fl e.
Start your cleanup campaign by
giving these cast-offs to needy
either directly or through some
local charitable organization, where
they can give comfort and use a.
gain Then burn 1.-THE sheer rub
Dish and be sure to accomplish
that latter task on MINDLESS day,
with the aid of an incenerator.
Closets should be subjected to
the same process. And the chan
ces are that your basement is in
about the same state of disorder
as your attic. Due to the nearness
of the heating plant, Easements
are one Of the most prolific sourse
of fire and should be kept free of
papers, rags and improperly stor-
ed infiamables.
Spring is likewise an excellent
time for having the furnace and

While pearl colors are largely a
matter of individual taste. most people
seem to prefer the white stones. But
to the true expert the pink pearl of

The technical term for the characteris-

the finest orient-that is, an unusually
brilliant one-it might be worth many
times the value of the same-sized pearl
