HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 5.-Mr.
MusSolini is certainly making a
play for American producers to
shoot a portion Of their product
in Italy. He feels that the scenic
value portrayed in such a world
wide manner will be the best kind
of publicity the Italys could have,
and rightly, too. He offers our
producers a guarantee of no Ital-
ian taxation of incomes earned
there, cut-rate steamship trans
portation on Italian boats to and
from Italy, removal Of all customs
restr ic t onS, passport require
mentS eliminated and complete
governmental cooperation in the
use Of monuments and the ar
rangementS for scenic locations.
To date, the only producers to
take advantage of this very gen.
erous offer are Walter Wanger in
Hollywood, and Alexander Korda
in London.
Speaking of Mr.. Korda, his very
fine picture, "the Ghost Goes
West" has struck the most un.
usual snag in China. The Chinese
feel that the portrayal of ghost
on the screen, by Robert Donat
is blaSphemouS and insulting to
their ancestral worship. Hence
the ghost, which ran through the
entire picture, had to be deleted
AS a consequence, the picture,
which started out life in seven
reels, now ends up in about two
in China, and the audience is still
wondering what the picture was
all about. Who could be blaming
them?
The interesting part about
M-G-M having built a real live sub
marine on the set for Eleanor
Powell'S Born To Dance" anc
having hired the retired Comdr
Harvey M. Haislip as the teen
nical director, is that it is hi.
sole duty to make the sub lool
authentic, but actually not au
thentic, for you see, some of Jul
more curious countries in the past
found that an espionage sytSen
was unnecessary, in as much a!
all they had to do was go to tht
movies, and see the Army anc
Navy portrayed in all it's innel
workings for them. Hence tht
necessity for Commander Haislir
and others of like kin for any
Army and Navy pictures, TO unau
thenticize our nations protective
forces and yet fool the public intc
thinking they are seeing the rea
Mccoy.
The following announcement
will probably bring an onslaught o1
kiddies to Hollywood, but there il
nothing that can be done about
it. Since Shirley Temple is No.
boxoffice lady (she is at Twentiath
Century-Fox, don't forget) all the
other studios in town are testing
little girls by the carload, hoping
and praying they will find another
potential Temple.

WASHINGTON CURRENT
 COMMENT

The quiet days of Autumn have settled on Washington, but the Capital City rests amid a still ness that cannot be charged to the weather or the season of the year. The average resident of Washington sees the President seldom, yet the White House is just building if it is known that the Chief Executive is not under its roof. Few places are more dismal than the halls of Congress when they no longer echo the rap of the presiding of- ficer's gavel.
 Washington at present is merely a large and well ordered city, & is deprived of it's usual preroga- tive of having something unusual to tell the world. To be sure, the Department of State is busy, and worried over problems aris-

The Republic of Panama has notified a New York bank that it will have to be excused for the time being from paying some money that it owes. One of the difficulties that face an organiza- tion of public international scope, such as the League of Nations or the World Court, is to find com- mon bond that will hold it to- gether. Indebtedness to the Un- ited States should be tie strong enough to answer the purpose, and perhaps Panama has quali-

ing out of the African War, the Treasury issues it's reports, foot ed up in debits and credits so large as to be without meaning to the ordinary reader, and the MIRA, still groggy from the blow administered by the Supreme Court, is occupied in finding some way in which it can be of use. That being granted, the oven nevertheless is cold and the dough lacks the quickening leav- en of politics. Politicians come in for some hard words, yet all will agree that without their pres ence there exists an aching void. Secretly if not openly, everyone enjoys the excitement that goes with party contention.

The producing gold lodes are widely distributed through the Territory, but nearly 75 percent of the output in 1885 came from lodes in southeastern Alaska. where accessibility to deep-water routes of communication and oth CT favorable conditions have per- mitted the successful mining of immense tonnages of low-grade gold ore.
 The other lode-gold producing districts of Alaska were the Will low Creek district, in the Cook 1nlet-Susitna region; the Fair banks district and scattered mines in the Nabesna and Iditarod dis tricts; in the Yukon region; near Valdez and in adjacent parts of the Prince William Sound region. the Kenai Peninsula district; the Nixon Fork district in the Kus- kokwim region and the Bremner district, in the Copper River re- zion.

statements as to quantity in the accompanying notes relate to pro duction and not to sales, ship ments, or some other perhaps equally significant basis by which the industry might be gagged.
 As is evident from the fore going table, the mining industry of the Territory enjoyed a pros porous year, the value of the out put of practically every mineral except gold showing a notable in- crease, and the value of the gold output showing a decline of much less than one-haf of l per cent from that of the preceding year. The resumption of copper pro- duction by the large copper mines that had been idle for nearly 3 years, the attendant in crease in the output of silver, & a great increase in the produc- ton of platinum metals and of Tin all contributed their share to making the value of the mineral production in 1885 larger than that of any other year since 1923.
 The output of gold from Alaska come from both lode (hard rock) and placer mines. In 1885 this output was distributed between these types of mines in the pro- portion of about 39 to 61-$6,237,- 900 from lodes & $9,7O3, ,OOO from placers. The corresponding pro- portion for the entire period that gold mining has been in progress in Alaska has been about 35 to 65.

The Secretary of War speaks in the presence of the Emperor at a dinner in Japan. and the re- port of the affair contains no in- timation that the Secretary was in any wise disturbed. The pop ulation of the world includes a noble company of martyrs who have fidgeted through a meal of victuals oppressed by the thought that they had a speech to make afterward. It must be great to be Secretary of War, but most of us would be satisfied with that equanimity wherein the prospect of having to put on an after-din- ner talk holds no terror.

Parishioners of St. Francis Xavier church will get their first chance to see and use the new bowling alleys which have been installed in xavi- rian hall when the alleys are opened to the public tomorrow afternoon. They will be open for use each day thereafter.

Of to- tal interest payments due, approx imatcly 82.A per cent had either been paid or was not overN00 days past due on December 3i, while ap- proximately 72.7 per cent of all principal payments duo had either been paid or was not more than 90 days past due. In December. the corporation received approximately 90 per cent of the total sum cur. rently billed in December on prin. cipal and interest, indicating subs stantial repayment in that month of sums prevoiusly in arrears.
 Foreclosures
 As of January Q. the corporation had closed loans for the relief of 07b, ,006 home owners, the amount of such refinancing aggregating S2,- 062, ,o60 ,Se6. Az of December 3i, the corporation had been forced to in- stitute foreclosure proceedings against 2,4e2 borrowers who had de- liberately and consistently failed to make their monthly payments when due, although actually able to pay. This group of borrowers represents 66 per cent of oil the 4,470 fore- closure proceedings instituted by the corporation up to December 3i.
 In 107 cases, foreclosures were stopped because the home owners paid up their delinquency upon the institution of proceedings. To date, only one foreclosure proceeding, now pending or closed, has been insti. tuted out of every 220 loans made by the Home owners Loan corpor- ation.
 Apart from cases of deliberate re- fusal on the part of certain borrow CTS to meet their obligations, the corporations foreclosure proceed. irgs through December 3i are rep- resented by 1,480 property aband. onmentS, 300 cases where the bor- rover had died and the heirs failed to assume tho obligation, and 100 instances where legal complications had arisen, exemplified by foreclos- ure action by the holder of q sec- ond mortgage, forcing the corpora ton to institute similar proceedings in the protection of the public in- terest.

Another non-support case in which the accused pleaded as his defense his inability to obtain ein- ployment on the WPA was heard this morning by Judge Edward Mascolo in city court. The case to- day is the second within Q week, and bears out predictions of relief authorities that such cases will be frequent unless the WPA quota is enlarged to permit the employment of former Mutual Aid Workers.
 The man arraigned this morning Is the father of five children. He told the court that he had formerly been employed on the Mutual Aid and that he had since applied for WPA work, but had been refused on the grounds he did not qualify for relief. Tn reply to charges by Q city relief investigator, present at the trial, that he contributed nothing to the support of his children, he said he had only recently obtained employment in c local factory.
 This, he said, was Q lucky "break", which came while he was awaiting certification for the WPA. Such certihcation has finally been granted by Washington authorities but is
