Seals Swim

Each year during the month Of
March, the first detachment of
seals swims north for the spring
breeding grounds on the foggy
Pribilof islands, off Alaska.
Seals migrate in shifts. First
the males start. Upon reaching
the barren islands they fight for
favored plots of beach along the,
shore. Then the females make
the trip. They are enthusiastic
cally welcomed by the males, who
again fight as each tries to in
duce as many females as he can
to his patch of land.
When the young are born, the
most important job is teaching
them to swim, for within three
months all the seals waddle into
the water for their long trip down
the Pacific coast or over to Japan.

Put Dfunks in Cage, Stand of
 Boston Mayor

WOBURN, Mass, March IS. = Boston's drunks aren't going to be in the doghouse any more. They're going to be in lions cage. But the lion won't be in it.
 Annoyed at the increase in jail maintenance costs because of an increasing number of convictions for drunkenness, Mayor William E. Kane threatened the lion cage and a ride through Boston's busiest streets for inebriates.
 The cage would be lowed by a police car and at night would be Illuminated. The prisoners would not be permitted to eat their heads off in jail for thirty or sixty days, but would be driven around the city for everybody to laugh at (the mayor hoped ) until they sobered up. Then they would be dumped out.
 That goes for women, too, the Mayor said.

GIRL BOTHERED ]. BY 'TELEPATHY
Claims Remote Control Is Exerted by Crooner
 Rudy Vallee

LOS ANGELES, March 15.-Po- lice Chief James F. Davis has re- ceived a letter from Denver which made him sit up and blink.
 He read it twice to be sure he bad not made a mistake It was signed by the assistant city attor- ney of Denver and, in part, it said:
 Miss Fanny Singer, 1879 Grove St., this city, is in the office and she complains that one of the residents of your city, Rudy Vallee, is bothering her by mental telepa- thy. and he has even threatened to kill her. I would appreciate it very much if you would investigate this matter and see if anything can- not be done to keep him from both- ering this young lady"
 It was written on official Denver stationery and signed by Richard P. Ryan, assistant city attorney.
 Chief Davis. said he'd look into the matter.
 Vallee, here now for a motion picture, had no comment to make, but he did not seem to be much upset when the letter was read to him.

 However, the Delegate believes that the project would be of such unusual value to the local fisher men and boat owners, and that a detailed survey might disclose a means of providing for a break water or other method of protec- ton, which was not arrived at in the preliminary examination, at a figure, that the matter should be given further considera- tion.
 Claude M. Hirst, Director of Edu- cation in the Indian Office at Ju-

 The Delegate also asked that that part of the act calling for con struction of forest roads or trails estimated to cost 5000 or more per mile be advertised and let to contract, be amended with the pro- vision that mot to exceed $l00,000 of the expenditures in Alaska in any fiscal year may be made with out such restriction" Adoption of this amendment would be authority for the Bureau of Public Roads in Alaska to undertake road construc- tion work with it's own equipment and personnel, up to the amount of $100,000, instead of having to have all such work done under contract

"C00d Earth'' to End Engagement
 Here Tonight
Paul Muni, Luise Rainer Star in Outstanding
 Production

The Good Earth" based on the novel by Pearl s. Buck and the stage adaptation by Owen Davis and Donald Davis, ends its Juneau show ing tonight at the Capitol
 Metro Goldwyn-Mayer has given the world the visualized audible drama of the Orient which Pearl Buck put into the printed word
 Paul Muni portrays the humble Chinese farmer, Wang Lung. The actor who was Louis Pasteur. 7" 'Dr. Socrates" and who played T Am a Fugitive" excels himself ill this new and more intriguing role.
 The actress from Vienna, Luise Rainer, here assumes an enviable position in her profession. There will be critics who rate her first of all the heroines of the screen for her performance as O-Lan the slave-girl who becomes the wife of Wang Lung. Miss Rainer starred in "Escapade' and again in "The Great ziegfeld" as Anna Held, but in "The Good Eearth" she attains the true heights of her power.

FEDERAL AID HIGHWAY ACT

Recently testifying before the House Committee on Roads when it was considering H. R. 8838. bill to amend the Federal Aid Highway Act, Delegate Dim ond requested that the provision in the bill set ting the apportionment of funds for forest roads and trails i'll Al aska at $500,000 for each of the fiscal years 194o and 1941 be strick- en out entirely, and that Alaska be permitted to share with the States in such appropriations, but that II any special allotment be made for Alaska, the allotment be made in the amount of $600,000 rather than $5OO,OO as the very minimum of what should be expended in the Territory each year in order to make any pretense of carrying out an adequate road program"
 Justifying his request for the in- creased figure for an appropriation item, MT. Dimond called attention to the fact that the national forests in the Territory can produce in perpetuity enough pulp wood to supply about he-fourth of the present requirements of the United States" or approximately one mil- lion tons annually. The Delegate further said in emphasizing the fairness of his request for this in- crease, that 1898 per cent of all the land of Alaska is still owed by the United States Government, and if Alaska is going to be what it ought to be as an asset to the United States, some encouragement ought to be given to settlers. have lived in Alaska more than B years, and I know that roads lie at the very foundation of any settlement of Alaska. You can not get people to stay anywhere unless you give them roads to travel on, or unless they are helped to get roads, and as long as this road program goes forward for all the rest of the United States there is no sound reason for putting Alaska in one

INDIAN SCHOOL LANDS BILL

The House Committee on Indian Affairs on February "A reported out to the House the bill sponsored by Delegate Dimond to authorize the withdrawal and reservation of tracts of the public domain i'll Alaska, not to exceed $40 acres, for native schools, hospitals, and similar na- tive uses as required in the building program of the Office of Indian Affairs.
 Reason for the proposed legisla- ton is aptly described in the fol- lowing excerpt from the committee report made on the bill:
 Tt is not expedient to construct such schools and hospitals on the public domain for the reason that the public domain is subject to location, entry, and occupation by citizens of the United States under the general lands and mining laws. It would not be wise to construct a hospital upon public domain and later have someone locate a min ing claim covering the same ground

PANHANDLER
 SPRINGS ONE
 THAT IS NEW
Bandmaster Joe Rines Goes Calling But Returns
 After Good'Call'
By GEORGE TUCKER

NEW YORK, March 15.-Occa- sionally there shuffles up to the curb a panhandler with a new and refreshing argument. Such brow ser stepped smartly up to Bob Rip ley and touched him on the arm.
 Pardon me" he said, "can you let me have 35 cents for a cup of cofiee?"
 "Thirty-five cents! Coffee costs only a nickel"
 Yeah, I know" replied the bum, but I've got to get my tuxedo pressed"
 It is Joe Rines who tells this one on himself Joe was pretty much in need of sleep and was gratefully pounding his ear the other night when a terrific racket brought him angrily back into this world.
 Donning his robe, the band leader rushed next door and gave the minimizing merry-makers blistering dressing down.
 Say" calculated the fellow. aren't you Joe Rines?"
 Well, yes I am" replied Rines, somewhat modified, what about it?"
 Gosh, I think you're the great est bandleader in New York. was just playing some of your records. Tell me, when that trumpet goes ta-ta- -te-te- -ti-ti, what is that bell-like noise in the background?"
 Several hours later, when Joe got back to his own room, he wasn't a bit mad
 There's a legend that fortune has been accumulated in a down. town bank, small sums left there by sailors who were lost at sea or otherwise disappeared At least, so the story goes, they never came back and all efforts to communicate with heirs have met with failure.
 Except for the trifling drawback of being untrue, this is charming fable and belongs with the rest of Broadway's Mother Goose stories.
 I have heard also and read in the reports of my colleagues from time to time of gnarled old hags out of witches tales who brew nameless potions in blackened pots under the gloomy arches of Brook lyn Bridge. but l have never been so fortunate as to encounter them. They have been described as tooth- less and leaning on crooked sticks and mumbling incantations while stirring these mysterious broths. I guess I don't get around enough.
 A sports writer in New York trip les his income making records for photograph company. However, he croons these ditties under an as- sumed name. There are only 4,000 words in all of Italian opera, yet the new English dictionary lists 550,000 words But if that total tends to give you an inferiority complex, remember that Shakes peare used only 15,000
 One of the politest visitors to New York this season was the London dramatic critic who de- scribed certain play as ham rather slowly fried" However, he added, there is much to be said 1 for good ham,"

MOuies Ex ssCreat LOuer"
 Still Aues Norma Shearer
By ROBBIN COONs

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, March 15.- The years are so SHORT: l. She was little blue-eyed brunette from Canada by way of New York, and she was working in a quickie out at the old Warner Bros. lot where the big star was very romantic fellow.
 The big star was doing thing called Don Juan" to prove among other things that when better love scenes were made he would make them, that when more star-struck girls swooned over a Great Lover he would be the c. L. Actually, of course, the guy was just making a living and he didn't care hoot about the gushy movie romance. There were even slanderers who insisted that, for sheer contrariness he made a habit of chewing garlic before a love scene just to see if his leading lady could take it.
 So the little blue-eyed brunette used to stand in the background on his sets, and marvel, and think how wonderful it would be if some day she could work with so great an actor
 Well, the other day it happened. They were working together. But Norma Shearer was the star of Marie Antoinette" and John Bar rymore, no longer the Great Lover, was sinking his teeth deep into a character role. And the little girl, grown up, said she was just as ex- cited and awe-struck now as she would have been in the old days. It had almost happened once be- fore = but in Romeo and Juliet" Norma and John had no scenes to- gether.
 He Still Worries
 IT. Nobody much looked up, ex- cept maybe a dizzy girl or two, when he came into the studio com missary to have lunch with me. He was an uncommonly handsome fellow, but he wasn't a name. He'd done a thing or two in pictures, and few people. were beginning to conjecture on his possibilities as a star But they conjecture about almost everybody.
 The first thing that hit, when we got to talking, was the chaps modesty, unusual for a picture struck kid as good looking as that He hoped like everything he'd get somewhere in pictures, he needed the money, but he didn't really think it would last. He was wor- ried about it, and it wasn't an act.
 Today Robert Taylor is, essen tially, the same fellow he was then. He still worries but not so much, and he tries to carry off his spot lighted condition as lig htly as they'll let him. When he enters the commissary eyes click and pop, but he's getting used to it and he doesn't look so self-conscious any more. Maybe he reckons that fel- low who's survived the tag of Beautiful Bob' can't meet much worse! %
 Basement Shopper
 III. It was after the little girls first click in pictures, but she wasn't too famous to go shopping with her mamma.
 Ran across the two of them down in the basement of a popular priced department store, and the mamma was looking for, of all unglamorous things, a garbage can.
 <, One of the reasons I like Mrs. Ruth Withers today, and daughter Jane, is that mamma spoke right up then, like anybody else, and didn't pretend for minute she was just summing, or had wan dered there by mistake.
