NEW ACTIVITIES

Many New M em b CTS in Large Turnout at Last
 Nights Meeting

With more than forty enthusias- tic skiers in attendance, the largest turnout yet to be at club meeting. the Juneau Ski Club at it's session in the City Council Chambers last evening, launched plans for the coming snow seasons activities.
 Among the projects to be under taken by the club, it was decided last night, will be the arrangement of a dance or similar entertainment, in the very near future, by the en- tertainment committee. Also, it was decided that skiing newcomers will be given preliminary instruction to get them ready to mount the flying runners when the snow finally ar rives. The instruction, which will be under the direction of such old

TIME FOR ALASKANS TO ACT WITH UNITED PURPOSE

Striking an average. the survey Of Juneau food stores and meat markets taken yesterday by The Empire reveals there necessities of life here to last approximately 30 days if no further supplies are forthcoming in the meantime result of the maritime strike
 Fresh vegetables of course, are no more. Eggs and butter virtually are all gone and the meat supply is very low sufficient for perhaps Is days in the extreme It is true that of the merchants have certain commodities to last a longer period than 30 days Several said they had staples to last perhaps two months. But it must be remembered that while stores well stocked others are low and the 5000 and more persons in Juneau must eat That means that the s-oscs which have rather sub stantia stocks will be called upon when the consumers can not get their supplies at their customary places of trading. Either the supplies will be furnished through the store which is low in stock the sumer will come direct. It all sinners down to the hard fact that there is so much food to last the residents of Juneau if nothing is done to change the present situation and when that is gone there will not be any more.
 Juneau merchants have shown keen foresight and have afforded this community a great service by stocking up when of the strike rife. Many of them extended their credit to the limit in order to be able to serve their customers, and it might be added that not a single one of them has raised price Rather their only thought has been to supply the residents of this community with the necessities of life in the general conduct of their business Some have already ordered from Canada which means high duty if the supplies obtained, in an effort to keep up their stocks Meat men have turned to the emergency of obtaining local meat.
 Yet one hears it in Juneau and it emanates to the outside world that Southeast Alaska supplies enough to last for months. The transportation panes themselves the first offenders and went to the customs office in Seattle where they dug up figures which purported to show that there vast stores in Alaska. Hardly had they gotten their propaganda out when the unions joined in the mis- representation of facts and added their the din Outside that Alaska is well supplied.

made by credited officials in every city in Alaska the request of Gov. John ". Troy and forwarded t) the proper authorities in Washington as well as
 leased over the Associated Press wires to the entire
 orld. But still one hears in Juneau and 1t may oe
 -sg...ed in other cities in Alaska that it is good
 ling the strike it did and some yet scoff -s the idea that there is food shortage and il is
 pparent that few go of their way to spread
 lch false propaganda in the States.
 The fact is that it is not good thing that the .trike came at all. As have said before strike
 cities anything permanently But the strike Is with us and here in Alaska we can't do anything abou- settling it. It of jurisdiction We are the victims not the source But we can do something .oward uniting efforts in common cause that may have the necessities of life to live human beings should We stand together on a factual premise of what the situation really is cut out the petty jeaousies and join forces in an nsstent demand those forces in the States which rec tify the situation.
 There is no sound reason in the world why the people Alaska should be made to suffer because of a lot of stubbornness and mis-information on the rart Of the two warning factions on the Pacific Coast Let's stand together Armed with facts. and we have them now through numerous surveys which all show ne thing that there is definite food shortage in Alaska we can make our demands for at least 6 boat week to Southeast Alaska and one to the Southwest heard. The Governor and other officials doing their utmost. Their efforts coupled with the unanimous demands of the residents Of Alaska can get results.
 Let's center efforts and go after em hammer and tongs until get weekly boats to Alaska with supplies some sort of temporary basis until settlement is reached between the employers and employees. They make temporary emergency agreement to the Territory in this crisis if they want to without having any bearing on the ulti- mate outcome of the strike and without weakening the case of either side.
 But it is up to us to make our case. We can rest assured they won't make it We must carry our battle to the south and carry 1t on a united front isolated possession of the United States entirely dependent water transportation for sup plies.
 We must make our demands to the steamship operators and the unions as 60OO0 Alaskans who insist on the American privilege of eating We must bring pressure to bear the business leaders and Chambers of Commerce of Seattle Tacoma. Portland San Francisco and Los Angeles all of whom have profited from industry in the past and now have a golden opportunity to reciprocate.
 And let's get together and make our voice heard now, and not wait until merchants are down 10 the point of being able to sell us nothing but beans If action is obtained in week or 10 days it would be another week before supplies would actually arrive in Alaska. Are going to sit idly by and make pointed remarks about one another or are We going to rise like true Aaskans and go out after what we must have, and go after it nelligently and with united purpose?

Venus smiles gently on women while this sway continues. They will find their best enjoyment in infor- nal weekend visits and social af- fairs. Return to the old-time sphere is recommended to the av- craze woman, but girls should be taught to be self-supporting.
 Great constructive projects are to be pushed at this time when men of superior ability will be sought. Ma val engineers will be in demand as well as experts in airplane construc- ton.
 Surgeons come under a planetary direction that is read as most prom ising to young Americans, many of whom will serve in foreign coun- tries.
 Mexico is to command unusual ac- tention in w. Shington, D. C., before the spring. if the stars are wisely interpreted.
 As December draws near move ments of population will be wide spread in the United States. The trailer tourists will present complex problems in Florida and California
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of progress that assures money and popularity. Women should be extremely fortu- nate.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be uncommonly clever and many will be devotedly studious. These subjects of Scorpio are usu- ally reserved, determined and se- cretive.
 John E. Mccullough, actor, was born on this day 1897. Others who have celebrated it as birthday in clude Jacob Aboott, writer, 1903; Jenkin Lloyd Jones, clergyman and writer, 1845.

SIDE LIGHT ON AL JOLS0N IS
 GIVEN OUT NOW
Ethel Barrymore Is to Re- tire - Lenore Uric
 in Kleig Rays
By GEORGE TUCKER

NEW YORK CITY, October T. Few actors in private life have the emotional range of Al Jolson. It is seldom that he enjoys even keel. One day he may be in the clouds and the next in the depths of despair. For instance there was that occasion when AIS Hollywood career hung by thread. His con- tracts were not working out to his satisfaction, and the critics were singing his swan song for him.
 happened to sit next to Al at cabaret about that time, and when, at the mes bidding, he leaped to the stage to say a few words, he bitterly referred to himself as Al Keeler.
 As usual, however, a new day brought Jolson around to his old self. The critics were premature in lowing him out, and his pros poets have never been rosier Mon ey--and this is verity-has noth- ing to do with Jolson's ambitions. He has all the money he will ever need.
 As for Ruby Keeler, who is star and Mrs. Jolson in private life. she acts off screen just as she does on. Shy and reticient, Ruby pre- fers conversation with one or two friends then the general hilarity of party.
 The recently announced inten- tions of Ethel Barrymore to retire from the theatre recalls a legend (there are thousands concerning this husky-voiced diva of the Royal Family) of earlier days when she went to London and fell temporar- fly in love with struggling young pianist.
 Forthwith she cabled her father:
 Am in love with an unhappy musician. We have decided to get married and be miserable togeth- eri"
 Congratulations" flashed Mau- rice Barrymore.
 Several days later Ethel sent this cable to her papa.
 "All off between us. No mar riage.'
 And Maurice reiterated his in- itial sentiment Congratulations.
 Although her career hasn't turned out too happily for the past two seasons, Lenore Uric remains our most voluptuous actress. Privately she adores rich foods but her mania for tflinness compels. her to shun them. Lenore's two abiding dislikes arc mosquitoes and persons who at- tend parties unlnvited. The first WIS probably inherited, but the sec ond is traceable to party she gave before she left for Hollywood the l last time. Her place near. Hamilton was overrun with persons she had never seen. When they went home they took all the pictures off the walls.
 Walking up Madison Avenue, I observed Helen Brokerick. the act ress, just few yards ahead. For six blocks not single passerby recognized her. Which isn't unusu- al. for celebrities often go unrec- ognized in New York. It is only when they advertise themselves with dark glasses and a retinue of ser wants that the crowd calls to heel.
