RAINBOW GIRLS PRESENT SHOW
 THIS EVENING
The Plot Thickens' Comes to Coliseum Under
 Lodge Auspices

Revolving about the activities Of an international gang of jewel thieves and two mysterious and seemingly unrelated murders, RKO Radios The Plot Thickens,' will be presented under the auspices of the Rainbow Girls tonight at the Coliseum Theatre.
 The new offering again presents James Gleason as the redoubtable Inspector, but has new Hide garde" in the person of ZaSu Pitts, whose fluttery style of mirth-mak- ing adds greatly to the laughter of the film. Screen fans will recall that Edna May Oliver and Helen Broderick severally enacted Glea- sons unofficial assistant in the earlier pictures of the series.
 Due to ingenious weaving of the plot, the deaths of wealthy col lector and a museum guard, seem to offer no clues to the police, nor is there apparently any connec- ton between them and the disap- uearance of the famous Cellini Cup from it's case in the museum. But Hildegardes curiosity, and she enar9etic. if often mistaken, ac- tions of the Inspector, finally bring to light the underlying motives of .sn organized gang of crooks who are responsible for both killings.

GERMAN LABOR PARTY IS OUT
 FOR MEMBERS
Drive Started to Get En- rollment Up to Six
 Million Persons

BERLIN, May 4.-A drive is being made to step up the membership of the National Socialist German La bor party from three million, five hundred thousand to about six mil lion. Membership in the party has been closed since May Day in 1883.
 The new members of the German Labor Front, the National Socialist welfare organizations, and the Ma tional Socialist Women's organiza- ton.
 Nazi leaders have three reasons for deciding upon the expansion of the party at this time In the first place, the German Labor party needs funds. Then too, the party finds it must get firmer hold on the masses, particularly in view of the increasing religious opposition. Lastly, the party is being reorgan- ized internally in order to give it better supervision of the German people, and it needs all the help it can get.
 Each block warden of the party is supposed to know all the people in his district. He is also respon- sible for caring for his national comrades in case of need and help ing them with their problems.

SOFT LANDING
 FIELDS FORGE
 PAA TO CANCEL
Electra Will Probably Not Return to Fairbanks
 Until Next Week

Because warming weather in the Interior has softened the snow covered landing fields until they are too hazardous for landings with the wheel equipped plane, the re- turn flight to the Interior, sched- uled today for the Pacific Alaska Airways Electra plane has been can celled and it is not expected that the plane will return to Fairbanks before next week.
 Several passengers arriving in Ju- neau this morning from the South on the steamer Yukon, who were to fly into Fairbanks, resumed their journey aboard the ship when in formed of the cancellation. Among them were: Ted Hoffman, operator of an airplane shop at Fairbanks, and Mrs. J. w. White, wife of the PAA Auditor at Fairbanks, who is returning north from Boston.

 They think the life they're work ing out together is intrinsically more important than any they could have achieved alone Evenings are the critical periods for married workers, they find. Af.er fatiguing days they're likely to come home with different moods. Then comes intelligent compromise. The one who wants to go out must stay home gladly if the other is tired. The one who wants to read must grin if the other brings a guest. And so on.

He continued down the mountain, and the other party went without introductions. Two days later Lynd puffed up the moun- tain again to see if the girl had signed the guest book at the top. She had. He wrote to her.
 And where did they spend their honeymoon? Hiking up Noun Washington, talking about Veblen, ct al.

GEORGE BROS. PLAN GOOD WILL
 TRIP CONTEST
Buy-at-Home Campaign Idea Being Considered
 by Juneau Store

On his recent trip to Pacific Coast cities and smaller communities in the Northwest. Joe George, of George Brothers Payn Takit and the Leader Department store made special study of the latest mer- chandising ideas and the propor- tionate cost expended by merchants in various lines of business in pro noting good will of the communi- ties visited. Commenting on his find- ings, MT. George said;
 T investigated the Townsend Club plan as staged in various localities, the activities of the Boys and Girls Scout troops in raising funds for
 their annual jamborees. the fi- nancing of trips for winners in Com mercial baseball leagues and travel tours for winners of contests which cover all points in the Unit ed States and even some trips be- ing offered for major awards to Paris, France and return. Don Eek, of the Don Eek Travel Tours, rep resenting the advertising depart ments of the Alaska Steamship Company, the Northern Pacific Railway, Southern Pacific Company, Illinois Central Railroad and the Pennsylvania System of Railways gave mo very valuable information, explaining that the usual procedure in outside communities was to put on one hube Buy at Home Good Will Contest in which all merchants, business and professional men can participate on a percentage basis, thereby spreading the cost equally between the larger and smaller dealers for all lines of community endeavor
 "A conference between Boy and Girl Scout leaders, Gastineau Chan mel Baseball League officials, and the Townsend Plan Club will be arranged shortly and it is antici- pated that the major awards for winners of the Buy At Home Good Will Contest will be all expense paid trips to old Mexico, includ- ing all the points visited by win ners of the Better Times All AL aska Contests plus an all day boat trip across Puget Sound with lun- cheon at the beautiful Empress Hotel in Victoria, B. C., then Fl Paso. San Antonio, Houston, New Orleans, Chicago, St. Paul, Min neapolis, Butte, Helena, Spokane and home.
 But wait and see. This idea is good and can be worked out to ad- vantage of all as it eliminates so- licitation for each of these individ- ual activities. which are bound to come eventually anyway an dgives the public and various participants a great deal more for their money than they would be able to receive under other methods.
 Tn the meantime, MT George said, work on the alterations of the George Brothers establishment is being rapidly pushed and it is hoped that plans for this gigantic Buy At Home Good Will Contest can be perfected at an early date as believe the whole community can be greatly benefited by a com bined effort"

R0ADC0NTR0L

SILVER SPRING, Md, June 25.
A conference between County
Commissioner Paul M. Coughlan
and officials of the Maryland
State Roads Commission, concern
ing the return of maintenance of
county roads to the county, will
probably be held in Baltimore,
Md, early next week.
Despite the fact that a resolu-
ton proposed by Commissioner
Richard S. Lansdale, to the effect
that the county would cease seek
ing return of lateral roads to the
county for the next two years, was
adopted by a majority of the five
man board, Coughlan said that
he and Commissioner Robert D.
Hagner voted in the negative and
would continue their efforts to OBJ
tain the consent of the State for
the county to maintain its own lat
eral highway system.
Although many county residents
are seeking road construction and
Improvement in various sections
of the county, Coughlan said he
would not agree to recommending
the State do any work until the
county board is informed as to
how much gas tax funds the
county will receive this year.
Although the county's share in
the past has been nearly $125, 900
per year, Coughlan said he was
informed by William A. Good,
chief auditor for the State Roads
body. a short time ago, that the
county would only receive about
100000 this year. He added:
II am also attempting to find
out why Montgomery cOunty'S
share of this fund has been re-
duced this approximate S35,OOO."
