Wondering Why.
We've got to keep going and wondering
why
The stars hurry swiftly along through
the sky:
So do the seasons with sunshine or
snow;
So do the wonders that genius may show.
Their courses for them are immutably
set.
With no need to pause for a thought
of regret.
And only humanity sadly must sigh
Because of the brain that keeps won-
dering why.

KARLOFF THRILLER
 IS NOW AT UPTOWN

Boris Karloff, creator of the screen roles of Frankenstein and the Mummy, dispenses even more chill ing and thrilling excitement in The Ghoul," moving into the Up- town tonight. The story, by Frank King and Leonard Hines, concerns the stealing of remarkable jewel from a famous Egyptian tomb and the strange manner of it's recov- cry.
 In the capable hands of T. Hayes Hunter, the story has been clever ly directed and the picture is said to provide an abundance of thrills, many of spine-chilling nature.
 The atmosphere of sinister mys- tery is created by masterly lighting effects and enhanced by the bril- liantly clever photography Of G. Krampf. Karloff's makeup is con- sidered the last word in monstrous appearance, particularly when he arises from the tomb" This is a hair-raising scene if ever there was one.

 MIRA ABOLITION
 IN INTERVIEW
Former President Lab els Blue Eagle as Fun
 damental Error"

PALO ALTO, Cal, May 16. - Copyright 1885 by the Associated Fress) Complete abolition of the National Recovery Administration is the "one right answer" which the House of Representatives should make to the Senate's action extend- ing it's life, former President Her. bert Hoover told the Associated Press in an interview here.
 We do not construct new build ings on false foundations and we cannot build the nations new econ- omy on a fundamental error" Hoo- yer said.
 He added that the NRA has been crushing the life out of small busi- ness and "is crushing the life out of the very heart of local con- munities."
 This whole idea of ruling busi- ness through code authorities with delegated powers of law is un-Am- erican in principle and a proved failure in practice. Codes are re- tarding recovery. They are cloak of conspiracy against public inter est. They are and will continue to be a weapon of bureaucracy and a device of intimidation against de- cent citizens,p the former president concluded.

BUILDING CAMPAIGN?

WASHINGTON-The sharp dec laration by Herbert Hoover in Palo Alto that the NRA should be com- pletely and quickly abolished is in terpreted by some members of Con- gress as move to build up the 1936 Republican campaign issue.
 Otherwise the former presidents remarks stirred little comment from Republican and Democratic leaders, who, generally speaking, reserved comment. Neither group seemed in clined to feel that Hoovers state ment would in any way influence the course of Congress.

Fads and Fancies of Screen
 Stars Run AU the Way from
 Butter Bans to Large Mirrors
By RoBBIN CooNs

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, May l6.- Movie fans may find common ground with their favorite stars in their home-life idiosyncrasies hab- its or fads.
 If the fan does not like butter, he'll agree with Sylvia Sidney, who won't have it on her table. If he likes midnight snack of chilled canned tomatoes and ra.v onion sandwiches, so does Clark Gable. If he gets kick out Of washing and polishing his own car on Sat urday afternoon, there is Gary Cooper, who often can be found doing the same job for himself.
 Big Beds
 Everybody who delights in a good bed and dreams of owning some day a couch that's big enough for solid, nay, luxurious comfort, can find a kindred spirit among the stars. Helen Twelvetrees refers to her oversized bed as '.Helen's half ace" w. c. Fields, ironically, be- cause he is troubled with insomnia, delights in a huge bed equipped with the finest springs, lambs wool blankets, silk comforters and the finest sheets. He is taking recom- psnse for early trouping days when the one-night-stand hotels offered rickety beds with granite mattress es and broken springs.
 Men who like to butter in the kitchen can find numerous coun- terparts in Hollywood, where Hugh Herbert, for one, is rated an ex- cellent chef on beef stew, and Warner Baxter specializes in Span ish foods.
 Hostesses who wonder what to do about statutes, vases, and other art objects when guests crowd the living rooms can take tip from Pauline Lord. She has those articles wired to the floor or to tables. It avoids embarras ssing moments and cuts down on breakage-and think of the advantage in an earthquakel
 Bing Likes Radios
 Mae Vests penchant for mirrors has found expression in the new decorative scheme of her apart ment, where the walls, the ceilings, table tops and other miscellany are mirrored.
 If the fan, on trips, collects cou- venirs-like penny postcards, menu cards, resort and hotel folders, odd bits of wood or shell--he can say, Well, I'm just like Jean Harlow in that"
 George Raft has radio but sell dom plays it, while Bing Crosby is cne of those radio-in-every -rooml fans.
 Richard Dix, easily approachable in person, keeps his home telephone number a dark secret even from his studio. You call him through his secretary. Lionel Barrymore, starting a production, assigns some one member of his company to do any calling that's necessary. Char lie Ruggles, like Dix, is telephoned only through his valet-even by the casting office. Fans with secre- taries can easily emulate them all.

 MT. Hellenthal concluded his talk which interested a large gathering of Chamber members, with a stir ring appeal for a continuation Of this mutual spirit of operation which has existed so far between the City of Juneau and Alaska Juneau
 The chief business item consid- cred at today's session fell in line with MT. Hellenthals remarks For the Chamber went to the aid of another local industry, the Juneau Lumber Mills, in it's fight to urge the government to purchase Alaska lumber for the Matanuska Valley oclcnizatlon project.
 Telegrams Ordered
 F. F.. McDermott, an executive of the lumber concern, read tele- gram which had been sent to the government officials by the Ketchi- kan Chamber of Commerce protest ing the awarding of Matanuska lu m D CT contracts to Washington mills in Seattle Upon motion by Secretary Curtis Shattuck, the Chamber authorized similar te,e- grams insisting on Alaska spruce and hemlock.
 McDelmott's figures showed that Seattle firms have been given con- tracts worth 5000 which, if award ed here, would have meant at least three more weeks of mill opera tions.
 Two other business details ex- pected to provide considerable dis cussion, provoked little interest. Up- on motion by Allen Shattuck, the Chamber went on record again as favcring Thursday as a meeting date Tuesday had been suggested.

The National Urban League to-
