For his thesis on education in Alaska Dr. Henderson recently received his Ph. D. from Stanford University.
 In a cl lear-cut comprehensive fashion the author tells of his for mer home, dispelling erroneous im- pressions and adding greatly to the Knowledge of the average reader whose picture of Alaska has been gained for the most part from highly colored fiction or the ever present motion picture.

WEDDING IN
 CHURCH RARE
 IN HOLLYWOOD
Marriage of Miss O'Sullivan ss and MT. Farrow Is
 Some Event
By ROBBIN CoONs

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 24.-Church weddings are a comparative rarity in Hollywood, so the marriage 'ot Maureen O'Sullivan and John Far row was an event in filmland.
 Solemnized at a nuptial high mass, the wedding in Santa Monica attracted great crowds of sightseers which is one reason so few movie people say their T dos at the altar. Another is that big church weddings require planning while round-trip ticket to Yuma by air is quite simple. Sometimes, even, the airplane wedding is over before the crowds know about it.
 Maureen, too, was an unusual bride in this town of quick marry ing and leisurely repenting. Long engagements when they end in marriage-are nearly as unusual as church weddings Maureen was wearing Writer Farrow's diamond when she made the last Tarzan film, "Tarzan and His Mate," and that was well over two years ago They might have been married sooner, of course, but that Farrows previous marriage necessitated a papal dispensation.
 Stayed On When Fired
 Now that the wedding is over, Hollywood can start wondering how soon Maureen is going to give up pictures. She used to say she would retire when she was 25-and that birthday came May IT.
 Miss O'Sullivan was IT when she came to Hollywood for the John Cormack film, Song O My Heart" in 1929-straight from Ire land, and shy as a schoolgirl. For some time her film career was shaky, and after her release from the studio that signed her first, but she refused to go home, because 7 she said, they fired me. It was just perversity the more Hollywood told me was no actress, the more wanted to prove I was"
 And she did, finally, in The Barrets of Wimpole Street" David Copperfield" and other pictures.
 But I think" she often said, women were made only to be wives and mothers, and anything else is just a waste of time.'
 Now Talk of Others
 Writer Farrow, meanwhile, has turned into Director Farrow. He is starting a picture after the honey moon.
 With the O'Sullivan-F -Farrow we'd ding in the past and Joan Blondell and Dick Powell finally announcing marriage plans, chief romantic speculation in Hollywood now con- cerns the engagement of Jeanette Macdonald and Gene Raymond. The principals here, as usual, have adopted a policy of silence on all details of their wed ling, both agreeing not to discuss it.

 U. S. officials knew that the bulk of business for such service would originate in the United States. and that U. s mail could be carried only in American craft. So they could be quite firm in insisting on a share. even if most of the landing facilities were to be on British or Canadian soil. 84
