Since it has come to our attention, that some persons have been seen in dangerous proximity to the Alaska Juneau Mine work ings, we are taking this occasion to warn the public against approach to the workings.
 All the workings are on private property quite some distance from any public road; trespassers thereon are in danger from blast ing and from caving ground.
 Approaches to the workings have been posted with trespass notices but some notices may be covered with snow. Therefore, the public is warned, whether not they see a notice, against going into the vicinity of the open pits or the extension thereof, particularly in the Icy Gulch area.
 It is hoped that this warming will be heed ed by all thereby making any trespass pro- ceedngs unnecessary.

The Gibson Girl, the Miss Am erica at the turn of the century has set her sartorial seal on the modern girls spring clothes.
 The high-necked shirtWaist. veil ed sailor hat and hatpins worn by the beauty who queened it over beaux of 40 years ago have come to life again in the new mode of 1888.
 Even a modern version of her whalebone neckline appears ill some of the new suit blouses The col lars boneless, of course, in keeping with the modern girls insistence on comfort, but it stands in a high smooth-fitting line about the throat which is strongly reminiscent of the Gibson Girl fashions.
 The tucked vestee trimmed with lace. the ruffled jabot and even a modified version of the mutton-leg sleeve are also seen in the new lin- gerie suit-blouses which are made of white batiste or Swiss organdy
 Another fashion note which dates from Gibson Girl days is the blouse -and-skirt mode, back in vogue for the first time in many years. It links pleated or gored skirt with the "bloused blouse" cut with the high neck and long full sleeves favored by the belle of the nineties. New bloused top dresses follow similar lines.
 Then there's the big Merry widow sailor, flat of crown and brim looped up in a voluminous veil and caught with hatpins in a way which bring memories of the pom padoured beauties of many years ago. Sometimes the veils extend under the chin, again they are tied into big bow at the back oi the hat, while the hatpins vary from little jeweled modern designs to the globe topped spikes of the nineteen hundreds.
 Some of the new spring suits art slightly reminiscent in line of those worn by the Gibson Girl-and by way of an exclamation point, clus. ters of violets are being worn again

HOLLYWOOD, Cal. March l6.- The people who know least about popular songs-after they're writ ten-are the songwriters.
 Perhaps that's st a ting it too broadly, and yet there are enough instances in Hollywood's week-to- week gamble on pictures and songs to back it up.
 Sweet Leilani' is one. This was the hit tune of Waikiki We'd ding and it's still being played around the world. Harry Owens, the maestro of Honolulus Royal Hawaiian Orchestra, wrote the song merely as a lullaby for his infant daughter Leilani. He liked 1t well enough, but didn't consider it a world -beater. Bing Crosby, on a trip to the islands, heard Owens and company play it, and insisted that the song be included in his next picture If the studio wouldn't said Bing, he'd buy it himself. The song got in.
 Incidentally, when Owens signed the contract for publishing rights he instructed that the royalties be left to accumulate in trust for lit t,e Leilani. The young lady has more than $16,000 in that trust fund to date

Actors in One Drama, Stop Play, Get Spectators to
 Be Accessories
By GEORGE TUCKER

NEW YORK, March 16-In the uncertain shadows behind the foot lights are often brief moments of drama so sharply drawn that one remembers them long after the plays themselves are forgotten
 These are the bright, vivid viz nettes of the theater, and whils they may be no mo than fleeting scenes between minor characters or tricks of staging by the authors and directors, they stab at you like flashes of summer lightning and impress you so that you never for get
 The first one that really got hold of me this season was the death scene in Murder in the Cathe- dral' Three characters come oa the stage and murder a high dig nitary of the church Suddenly for the first time, they become aware of the audiences presence. They are momentarily nonplussed. Finally one turns to the audience:
 Do not judge us too hastily" he pleads. There are just reasons for this deed. We realize you may have different ideas, and that ap- pearances are against us But there are two sides to every question At least hear our side, ard be pa tient while we explain why this man had to die
 I am quoting freely in an effort to convey something of the pro- found awe that gripped the audi ence when these men suddenly stepped out of character and at tempted to make the audience an accessory to the crime. The buzz of fly would have sounded like the drone of an airplane motor It was trick theater, pure and simple. but it was effective. and you remember it.
 Another moment not likely to DC lol SpIlSu WdS tIlt lOCODlCblNt scene in Casey Jones'" To achieve realistic sound effects the pro- ducers went out on the New York Central lines and recorded hissing steam valves, screeching boilers. whistles, and all the accumulated noises of great railroad locomo- tive.
