HAS GABLE, JOY FOR
 EXTRA MEASURE
Irish Home Rule Story Is Screened Ginger Rog-
 CTS Rumors False
BY ROBBIN COONS

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, July 8. - The worst feature ot the film Par lnell" will be it's strongest box-office asset. Clark Gable plays the Irish statesman.
 1 once you get accustomed to Ohio's Gable in the role, you may follow . through with him. But the going 1 is made more difficult by the lib-
 eral sprinkling of authentic Irish
 and British players in support and
 by the painstaking atmospheric ex-
 actitude displayed throughout.
 John M. Stahl worked nightly on
 direction, and the result is an
 above -the-average, less than epic film. Myrna Loy, as the woman
 whose love scandalizes Parnell's
 fight for Irish home rule to defeat,
 will help the box-office too Miss
 Loy, incidentally, was not the only lwoman who cried at the preview. Fraud Rumors Baseless | Every time Ginger Rogers has

ALASKA MAY BENEFIT BY
 NEW DEVICE
Air Mail Service May Come to Places Where There
 Are No Airfields
By J. J. ECKLES Secretary to Delegate Dimond

|
 WASHINGTON, June 12-(Spec- ial Correspondence) - Cities and towns in Alaska that do not have airfields may yet enjoy the bene- fits of air-mail service in the near future if experiments now being conducted in the development of pickup and delivery device for dis charging and receiving mail or ex- press from plane in flight prove successful.
 i A demonstration of the automa- tic pickup and delivery system was held last week at an airport near Washington. A number of Congress- men who witnessed the operations saw heavy loads of mail picked up and released to the ground by air. planes travelling at nearly 100 miles per hour. No special packing was given the loads handled, which in- cluded fragile glass objects in the shipments, all of which were de- i livered and taken up without break age. The demonstration showed that stunt flying is not required in this work, as the pilot of the plane ap- pears to merely fly his ship req sonably low toward the simple de- vice on the ground which holds the shipment. A thin steel cable with a hook on the free end is lowered through the bottom of the plane and is guided to the attachment holding the bag by an angle or V formed with rope and held above the ground by uprights. The pouch or other package is hooked and the cable is reeled up, drawing it into the plane as it speeds on to it's next point of delivery. The device automatically delivers it's load be- fore making the pickup of out going mail.
 l Of Use in Alaska
 The device has been patented by Dr. Lytle s. Adams, who has been working on the problem for some years. During this time Dr. Adams has been a frequent caller on Dele gate Dimond who expressed interest early in the potential possibilities of the equipment because of the con- siderable use that could be made of it in Alaska, not only for delivery of mail but of express shipments.
 Last week an amendment to the air-mail bill was favorably report ed to the House which would pro- vide $100000 for experimental serv- ice in several States for the next year to determine the practicability of the equipment and if further de- velopment is needed before making general use of it.
 If the equipment is approved anc it's use is made general in Alaska
 the Delegate said he could foresee considerable expansion of the routes in the Territory where mail is car ried by planes. Tn addition to mak-
 ing the air service available to many : towns that do not have airfields- some of which, because of topo- graphical features which make con- : struction of fields impossible, vii never have landing facilities - tht operation of this equipment should permit air-mail contractors to lowel . their bids under the figures nov current and thus make possible tht
 extension of this service to man.
