KIPLINC MOVIE
 LARGE JOB FOR
 TURBAN WINDER
Punjab Expert Knows r. 030 Methods Uses Many
 in Wee Willie Winkie'

MT Bhogwan Singh Easer Sand hu, nut-brown gentleman from the frontier of Punjab, lent his delft fingers and exhaustive knowledge of India to Twentieth Century-Fox as a technical director on Wee Willie Winkie," the new Rudyard Kipling film starring Shirley Temple and Victor McLag1n, which is now showing at the Coliseum.
 It is mere child's play to Singh, but magic to his non-Indian on lockers. when he takes ten yards of cloth and twists it around a mans head to form a neat turban. That has been Singh's business ever since he went to Hollywood in 1914
 Principal object of Singhs aetivi- ay in Wee Willie Winkie" is Cesar Romero, who plays the role of Kho da Khan, a fierce chieftain of the Pathans, that wild and ferocious tribe who inhabited the Khybei Pass at the time England was try ing to keep the pass open for com merce. It takes only a flip of the wrist to wrap a urban for a na- tive soldier or for one of the lesser natives in the picture, but Romero plays chieftain whose rank de- mands special turban.

Unemployed Man Is Saved from
 Drowning Today
George Johnson Falls to Bay Malcolm Morrison
 Figures in Rescue

Rescued from drowning when he fell into the harbor from the Com mercial Wharf this morning, George Johnson, 49, unemployed longshore- man, is in the City Jail charged as drunk.
 Johnson fell twenty feet to the water when he reputedly staggered against the twelve by twelve dock rim. Witnesses, seeing his fall, rushed to a rowboat and rescued him.
 Bobby Converse, 12, saw John sons tumble from the Alaska Air Transport hangar and with Keith Petrich and Gray Line bus driver Eric Lindegaard, leaped into Dr. w. P. Blanton's skiff tied at the hangar
 While Lindegaard rowed to where Johnson was struggling in the wat CT, AAT Pilot Shell Simmons, Mary Joyce, and Malcolm Morrison, stand ing near, threw Johnson rope.
 Johnson clug to the rope, was lifted from the water and deposited in the bottom of the skiff, a bit dazed, but alive, and asked to Ego to jail where I can get straight ened out.'
 Morrison, who with Simmons and Mary Joyce threw the rope to Johnson, is the same Signal Corps man who has been recommended for the Carnegie Medal of heroism following a rescue Morrison made in the chill waters near Taku Glacier recently.
 In the course of that rescue, Nor rison swan fully clothed with a larger man than himself, both of them wearing hip boots. Today, Morrison was wearing hip boots again when Johnson fell in-but he took them off and was going to leap to Johnson's rescue, but saw no need for it when Johnson got his arms around a pile and clung there.
 The incident occurred just as the steamer Columbia was coming up to it's dock, and the crowd on the wharf awaiting it's arrival saw Johnson's fall and rescue.
 A resident of Juneau since 1927, Johnson has done only odd jobs and has not worked for several weeks, he said.

Chiseler Complains
 That Sand Blasting
 Is Running His Art

CHICAGO, July 26.-The Presi- dent of a National Stone Cutters Union-who wouldn't chisel even a little publicity by permitting use of his name-complains that sand blasting machinery has played ha- voc with the ancient hand-art of carving tombstones.
 Modern methods have ruined us," he says. Twenty-Five years ago we had 35,000 members in our union. Today we have 5000 and even they are not carving fancy angels and doves on the stones any more.
 People want things fast and plain today and sand blasting gives it to them that way. All workmen have, to do is outline a name with rubber composition, turn on the plaster and the job is done in a few minutes.
 That's all right but I'll lay you 10 to l they didn't cut out this Venus de Milo with a sand plaster, did they?"

SIX CITY ORDINANCES
 PASS FINAL READING

Given their third and last read ing, city ordinances Nos. 6, ', 8, 9, 10 and II, regulating the order as numbered, licensing of dogs, cleo tions, police and magistrates court, assessments and taxes, pub ic health, and peddlars, are now regu- lar statutes of the town. These ordinances will now be posted in public places by the City Clerk for a period of 30 days that the public may have due cognizapce of them and be guided accordingly.
 With the exception of the wharf all departments of the city govern ment appear to be under good con- trol as different committee heads answered mo report when called upon by Mayor Kilburn. Wharf Committeeman Rice told the Coun- cil that certain repairs were badly needed on the Ferry Co. slip and on one of the city floats. The May or covered the spill-way situation at the dam, describing how it is taking care of the normal overflow of water; during stress periods of heavy rains and thaws, it would be inadequate, however, he said and some further work will yet have to be done there. This will have to be taken up as project No. l, when conditions permit, it was brought out
 The Council voted to turn control of the new school over to the School Board at once that the janitor may begin his duties there about the first of August.
 By further action the Council designated the City Hall as the of- ficial voting place for Territorial elections September 13.
 And then as an individual does when he comes to the end of his life the municipal heads took up consideration of the cemetery, which it was stated, is badly in need of attention. The matter was discussed at some length and steps are to be taken to improve the situation at an early date as a result.

ST. PAUL, July 26. Poultry breeders searching in vain for 8 300-egg strain of chickens have been told by a University Farm ex- tension specialist that even the best breeding flocks are not speedily reaching that goal.
 Even if such a strain existed, said Miss Cora Cooke, of the University of Minnesota, it would be so costly the ordinary producer could mol buy stock.
 Tt is well known, too" she said that such individuals do not have offspring of such high production to very marked degree"
 Only 38 of 4,786 hens trapnested under supervision of the Minne- sota Poultry Improvement board produced 300 eggs.

Christian Science
 Lecture Given Here
 ByJamesC. C.Rowe||
Christian Science: "On Earth Peace, Good Will
 Toward Men," Subject

Last evening in the Scottish Rite Temple a lecture on Christian Sci ence entitled Christian Science: On Earth Peace, good will Toward Men" was given by James G. Row ell, C.S.B., of Kansas, Missouri, Member of the Board of Lecture ship of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts. The lectur- CT was introducer by Mrs. Gordon Clithero.
 The lecturer said in part.
 Peace a Spiritual Reality
 Peace is not stagnation; it is the quiet activity of divine Love. It is the atmosphere of spiritual reality which men can and eventu- ally must demonstrate in every cir cumstance in which they seem to find themselves. Our individual peace is our individual demonstra- ton of the spiritual fact that peace is the forever harmonious state of true consciousness. Christian Sci ence explains the will or law of God, shows us how to apply it to our problems and to prove by de- monstration that the peace of God is within and all about us.
 True consciousness recognizes but one God, one divine Mind. Peace is to be found only in acceptance and worship of this one harmonious, holy Mind. If we find ourselves ill, disturbed or confused, it is evidence that we are not having in us that mind which was also in Christ Jesus," that one divine Mind. Ac- ceptance of and obedience to an erroneous sense of Mind, God, is idolatry. There is no peace to be found in idalatry. Mrs. Eddy says Science and Health, D. 146), "The first idolatry was faith in matter"
 Matter a False Mental Concept
 Christian Science reveals that matter is not an actual entity. It is but false belief about Spirit, God; it is errors attempted reversal Of the true concept of substance. The more advanced physical scientists are agreed that matter may be, ln the last anaylsis, a mental concept, but they do not yet see that it is falsely mental concept of true sub- stance, which is Spirit. That there is life, truth, and intelligence in this false concept is part of the clalm of error or belief in matter. This lie Christian Science destroys by the realization that matter is no part of the expression of God, and that All is infinite Mind and it's infinite manifestation" as worded by Mrs. Eddy in what is known as the scientific statement of being" found on page 468 of Science and Health.
 Christian Science teaches that Life is God and cannot be confined in matter The belief that matter contains, expresses, or has an influ- ence over Life is false deluslve belief about Life. Christian Science breaks the claim that matter is a thing outside of mortal thought. Ill shows that the only existence mat ter even seems to have is as false concept of the deceived and deceiv- ing mortal sense of Mind. Life in matter is impossible, for Life, God, is infinite Spirit.
 There is no truth in matter. The world of sense. impressions is shown by Christian Science to be but a dream world-a mesmeric state of consciousness. Christian Scien el breaks this dream and shows that there is no truth in it. God is Truth,
