Courtwright, meanwhile, attempted to
impersonate Pemberton. The same
humorous circumstances arises in "It
Happened In Hollywood" when Alan
Tremayne attempts to create the be-
lief that he is Prince, thus crashing
into the movies. At the same time
Josie Pembroke and Princess Dolores
disguise themselves as servants and
provoke quite bit of laughter. These
humorous incidents connected with
dramatic scenes serve to make a fine
play. Don't miss it.

mainder of the game Townsend allow
ed the Ocean City nine only 5 hits and
held them scoreless.

men on base every inning but were

CLASS PLAY
cit Happened In Hollywood" is an
other three act comedy by Katherine
Kavanaugh. Those of you who re-
member the play ooh Professor" pres
ented by the class of 1884 know just
how entertaining, laughter provoking,
and thrilling one of Miss Kavanaugh's
productions can be.
They all seem to contain a char
acter who impersonates another char
acter in the play and this results in
general mix-up which is straighten-
ed out only at the end of the play.
In ooh Professor" you will remember
how Michael Pemberton, a wealthy
young American returning from Paris

BASEBALL TEAM DROPS ONE
Score 81

The high school boys suffered their
first setback last Friday afternoon
when they fell before an avalanche
of Ocean City hits. West started his
third game for the locals, but was
badly off form. In the first two in
nings he was nicked for z hits and
runs. However, infield errors were
the causes for several runs, the
Ocean City boys earning only in
the whole game. Townsend replaced
West in the middle of the third and
when he came to the hill he found
men on first and second. The first
batter to face "Pete" hit straight at
him. "Pete" grabbed the ball out of
the air, hurled it to first and caught
the runner playing off. Mount in
turn threw to second and Garrett
tagged the bag for the third put out
as the runner on second loafed be-
tween second and third. The Snow
Hill boys had executed triple play,
something rare in high school base
ball and were greatly encouraged by

WHAT IS CAPITAL?

We often hear talk of capital and labor as though they were wholly unrelated and on opposite sides of the fence. But, actually, they are mutually dependent. Each needs the other. There is no fundamental con fliet between them.
 Let's look at a very simple illus tration.
 A man does odd jobs around your house. Suppose you pay him $1 for fixing the screen door which was warped. But before he could do the job you had to give him a screw driver that cost you 50 cents. You had to give him a plane that cost you s2. That screwdriyer and that plane are capital. Without them, the oddjob man would have no work. It would have been foolish to hire him unless he could be equip ped to do the work.
 The dictionary says capital is that part of wealth which is deVot- ed to the production of more wealth In other words, all capital represents tools, whether the tool is a screw driver or a machine costing thous- ands of dollars or the factory which houses the machine. It is as use less to talk about the workman and the dollar, as though they stood in opposition to each other, as to ar que whether lungs are more import ant than air. Each needs the other. Capital needs labor and labor needs capital.
 For example, leading automobile company recently pointed out that 1t had to provide $2,008 of land and plants, $2,67O of machinery and $665 of raw materials in order to put one average workman to work. Add that up. It makes more than $5,O00 for each workers tools, us-

LAW ENFORCEMENT

J. Edgar Hooyer's greatest ae- complishment has not been the cap ture and killing of gangsters and desperadoes that eluded state and local enforcement agencies, al- though the stopping of Dillinger Karpis, and others, was national service which should never be for gotten. Mir. HoOYer's greatest ac- complishment has been the drama tization of law enforcement. If the boys now play Gmen instead of bandits 1t is due to the publicity which has been given to Mr. Hoover and his efficient aides.
 Something of the effect of this activity and it's attendant pub licity was cited at the newspaper institute of the New Jersey Press Association at Rutgers College. Hugh Clegg, assistant director of the Bureau of Investigation, said that the popularity of the G-men among the youth of the country had reduced the arrests of young peo- pie materially. He credited the Am erican press, the motion picture, and the radio with the popularization which had brought this result Rochester Democrat-Chronicle.

SURVIVAL OF THE UNFITTEsT

When you tell the people who have achieved what We have aehiev- ed that we mustn't go on achieving it-when we tell Babe Ruth that he mustn't bat any harder than the bush leaguers, and Jim Brad dock that he mustn't hit any hard CT than l can, and both ol them that they must proceed under rules designated to regulate athletics in a home for cripples, then-whoeYer does it, however, WhereYer-the pennant is lost and the count is up.
 You can and should tell Jim Braddock not to hit in the clinches. You can and should enact laws to restrain the dishonest and preda- tory. You can and should urge and educate the backward to effect bet ter ethics and greater efficiency. But when a labor union or a legis- lature, for whatever reason, orders that no more than so many bricks shall be laid in one day, that em- ployers shall choose not the best typesetter but the one who has been out of a job the longest, that no one shall work more than so many hours a week and at the same wages, and that no man shall cultivate more than so many. acres, or raise more than So many hogs or pota- toes, and that you and I shall pay him, not for what he does but for what he does not do, then that union or legislature is reducing us to the lowest common denominator of laziness, thriftlessness, and in- competence - From an article by Charming Pollock in The American Mercury.

WRANGELL INVITED TO SEND
 YOUNG LADY TO ICE CARNIVAL

Fairbanks Invites your town to participate in the ice carnival and dog derby to be held here from March 11-14," stated a telegram received Wednesday by the Sentinel from R. E. Sheldon. president of the carnival organization.
 If a young lady Is sent from Wrangell to compete for the title of Miss Alaska her expenses will be defrayed while in Fairbanks. stated Mr. sheldon
 WrangeIl did not attempt to send representation 10 the ice carnival last year through a Miss Wrangell. on account of the expense involved. The contest held by communities to determine the young lady sent is expected to yield sufficient revenue to pay travelling expenses To and from Fairbanks
 Boat fare one way from Wrangeil to Seward is s39 and rail fare from Seward to Fairbanks one way is $2S.05 making a round trip to the carnival cost $1341O. By plane from Juneau would be s250. in ad- dition to expenses in Juneau while waiting to take off.

ing the word in the broadest sense.
 This same company had also to provide a large amount of working capital for each employee in order to carry the materials over from the raw state until the finished car was sold. That working capital is as much a tool and as necessary to production as any machine.
 This same story can be repeated in any industry. And industry, as a whole, has invested an approximate S4,840 for each workman.
 Is not this, then, one of the se- crets of Americas high living stand ard? We have more tools, more machines. The average wage earner has more because he produces more with the help of tools supplied by capital.
 To talk of labor being on one side of the fence and labor on the other is nothing more nor less than nonsense.-Ex.

CLAW MACHINES oUTLAWED
 IN DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

The claw machine has been out lawed in the District of Columbia under an injunction proceeding be- fore the Supreme Court of that juris- dietion The injunction was obtain ed following a repleYin suit filed by the owner of three claw ma l chimes which had been seized by the police under a ruling and order by the U s. District Attorney, Les l lie c. Garnett. that the machines were gambling devices and that they be seized as evil chattels.'
 The principal question considered was whether chance or skill prevails in playing the machines. Evidence submitted both by the claw machine interests and the Government re- vealed that successful player spin" shake the machine or in some manner juggle or manipulate the handle by which the derrick is set, after the clawing process begins.
 After the jury had consumed two weeks in considering the legality of the devices, Associate Justice Jesse C. Adkins. before whose court the ease was heard, directed the jury to return a verdict in favor of the Government.
 In announcing his decision after careful review of the evidence, Justice Adkins said:
 A substantial number of player 8 after setting the derrick do not attempt to do anything else while the machine is in operation. When the machine is so played there are chances that the claw may not strike the article aimed at. or if it does strike it, that it may slip off. There are also chances that even of the claw grasps the article that it may drop it or that the article may be knocked loose by collision with some obstacle before it reaches the chute.
 When the game is so played, I think that any reasonable man must reach the conclusion. that chance is the prevailing and controlling el- ement, and when it is so played. II is being operated according to the directions on the machine itself. For these reasons, feel compelled to grant the Governments motion for a directed verdict"
 MT. John J. Wilson, Assistant Dis trict Attorney, in his final argument estimated that the annual take of claw machines in the District of Columbia was a million dollars.
 It was stated that an immediate appeal would be taken by the claw machine interests from the decision of Justice Adkins.
 In another recent civil suit in volying alleged gambling devices, Justice Daniel W. O'Donoghue ruled that pin ball machines operated for any pay off'' are illegal Although an appeal from his decision is now pending, when the machines were ! threatened with police seizure, the owners quickly removed them from the District of Columbia, it was stated.

Notes from the
 Legislature
 By HELENE c. JOHNSON

The first bulletin issued by the Alaska Federation of Women's Clubs Legislative Department, Mrs. Mildred R. Hermann chairman was received here this week and covers the first week of the session only. The maritime strike willing. Mrs. Hermann will issue two bulletins each month of the session. A law yer herself. she is a daily attendant at the Legislature as a representa- tive of the Alaska Federation's 500. members.
 As only a limited number Of bulletins were received and are being passed around among the club members, this is an attempt to give a summary of the contents for the benefit of those who may be interested.
 Owing to the strike. it was not possible to embark on a regular leg islatiye program this year but the. legislative department will continue to work for the passage of a bill to provide a home where aged and helpless women with a reasonable| residence in Alaska may be cared for and given medical and nursing care. While the Administrative Board of the Territory made sur yey and returned an unfavorable report on the project, this survey. was made among women who are now territorial pensioners, only. 4 home for aged women has had the backing of the clubs in the past. and has the support of both the former and the present president of the Federation
 The department favors a bill fix-I ing the responsibility for the sup port of an illegitimate child on its father The American Legion Well fare Program has included such ac- tion for several sessions and Mrs. Hermann feels that the women of Alaska should support it. Under the present law, the father of such child has no responsibility and unless the mother is under 1 6, the matter can not be made an offense under the criminal code. Speak up women
 
 The members of the present ses- sion are about equally divided on the liquor problem: Territorial liQ- uor stores or a continuance of the license system, the latter endorsed by the Governor in his message. The subject is sure to be highly controversial and stormy sessions may be expected.
 With the death rate from tuber-I culosis showing a decided increaseI among both whites and natives dur-I ing the past biennium, Alaska is bel coming health conscious and the Legislature will undoubtedly pro-I vide for Territorial cooperation fnI the matter of tuberculosis control. 1 Mrs. Saddle Orr Dunbar has stim- lated interest in this subject inl connection with the Christmas SealI sale.
