"BUCCANEER" IS DRAMA OF
 PIRATE KING
Fredril March Plays Tile Role in DeMiIle Play
 dt Coliseum Theatre

A crucial but little-known chap ter of American history is brought to life by Cecil B. DeMille in "The Buccaneer,' playing now at the Coliseum Theatre. It is the story of a famous pirate king who was so notorious that the government put price on his head, but who became one of the nations outstanding heroes when he came to Americas s rescue in her darkest hour and helped Jackson turn the British away from the gates of New Or leans.
 Fredric March is seen in the role of the pirate chief, Jean Lafitte, one of the most colorful characters who ever walked across the pages of American history. Lafitte was born in Bordeaux, France, at some un- known date before the French Rev ofution His birthday has never been established, although the late Huey Long of Louisiana declared one for him and made it a state holiday.
 After serving for time in Ma poleon's armies, Lafitte moved to the New World to try his fortune Gathering about him band of fero- cious outlaws from every corner of the world, he set up pirate king dom on the shores of the Gulf of Mexico not far from the thriving city of New Orleans. From his port of "Barataria" he carried on piracy in a gentlemanly manner, preying mostly upon Spanish vessels and es- tablishing a set rule that American ships go unmolested at all times
 Although the customs officials of the United States, irked by the superior bargains he offered New Orleans shoppers, put a price on his head, Lafitte, as can be so clearly seen in "The Buccaneer." !" always maintained a deep affection for this. his adopted country. |

 URGES MEMORIAL
 ON TREATY LAWS

Two communications were receiv- ed in the House of Representatives today from the Alaska Troller's As- sociation, one referring to the re- gently enacted International Labor Treaty and the other urging ap- pointment of an Alaskan for Fish Commissioner.
 The complaint with regards to the International Labor Treaty and a clause requiring fishing vessels to have licensed captain, mate, first and second engineers, asked an amendment to exclude definitely, vessels under 200 tons gross, the treaty as it stands, only implying exemptions or exceptions.
 The Association wrote, enforce ment of such law would paralyze and shut down the entire fishing industry in Alaska 1t would be out of the question for at least 5000 fish ing boats in Alaska to comply with any law requiring such crew"
 Tn the other communication, re- questing support of the Legislature for appointment of an Alaskan to Fish Commissioner, the letter said, was a political appointee who knew nothing of conditions and problems in Alaska. He costantly refused an ear to our protests until public senti- ment and pressure was so great he was forced to- We want an Alaskan"

F other than through the Alaska AL cohol Administration which would be set up.
 The new unit would be part of the office of the Territorial Treasurer, and the Administrator of the unit to be appointed by the Treasurer to serve under $25, ,O0O bond for four year term.
 This Administration would be em- powered to charge a profN to make enough monies to defray expenses of operation and make an additional reasonable" profit which may seem right and proper.
 A sum of $50,000 in appropriation is asked in the bill, to set up and in- itiate the work of the new unit, the money to come from the General Fund and be replaced in that fund through receipts within year after the unit begins its work.
 Violation by wholesalers, selling to retailers outside the pale of the Administration would call for $500 to 5000 fine and or six months im- prisonment, while a retailer, not purchasing through the Territorial wholesale house, will lose his license.
 The act is labeled as an "emergen- cy.''
 Representative Smith, in con- menting on the bill, said the impei- ling factor in it's introduction is to "curb certain monopolistic influ- ences that are operating to the det- riment of Territorial wholesalers and retailers, and to make liquor tax in Alaska more fool proof" U

Charles A. Lindbergh, by direction of

with his consent" to active duty for
an indefinite period under his COM

as the result Of millions OF impromptu
tests. When mistakes we're made, the
victim was forgotten, but the fact he
revealed was not.
Ways housewife prepares vegetables
come down through centuries.
In the process, scores of edible plants
seem to have dropped from our tables.
Only recently large book has been
gotten out, dealing with food possibilities
of disregarded plants.
One may surmise, however, that what
we have today, in the eating line, COM
prises the cream of all possibilities
Experiments with unusual vegetables
and salads commonly shows that where
as they may present certain novelty,
they almost invariably add nothing to
the menu. Usually their taste is rather
queer, innocuous, or in no sense better
than commonly prepared dishes.
The probability is that man, being the
hog he is, never let a dish go by the
board If 1t had the slightest real good
in it.
1t is much the same way with books.
Who has not stood in some attic, or
before bookcases found in country place,
and noted title after title, by author after
author, all of them, titles and writer's,
unknown?
Who has not had great expectations,
indeed, in taking down some of these
possibilities, of finding a masterwork
totally overlooked?
And who is there who has not been
disappointed in such hope? At best,
one finds just another pleasantly writ
ten book; at worst, volume over which
time kindly drew the curtains many years
ago.
1t would afford an earnest person q
few hours Of interesting experiment If
he were to gather bushel of pods of
the Kentucky coffee tree, remove the
beans, roast them in an oven with the
door left open, grind them up and make
himself cup of pioneer coffee.
We would advise him to make his brew
rather on the weak side; modern stom-
achs are not used to such herbal drinks
Yet coffee, cocoa and tea are herbal
drinks, too, in the final analysis.
There are better and less arduous uses
for the pods of the Kentucky tree.
A well-polshed pod of Gymnocladus
makes an interesting table or mantel
ornament.
If small specimen is chosen, it makes
an excellent rattle, provided one is Sc
lected in which the beans are loose.
Dogs and cats, too, like them as play
things, The cat, in particular, prefers
them to almost any toy on account of
the noise they make on the floor.

The Infantry Post

The final selection of a site for
the future home of the Third Bat
talon of the Twelfth Infantry, an
integral part of the normal WASH
ington garrison, is gratifying. The
choice of location in the hilly Sec
ton OF the Arlington Experimental
Farm near the angle of Military
road and the railroad spur which
borders the airport, rather than the
one previously considered near the
terminus of the Memorial Bridge and
Lee boulevard, is an improvement.
The new location offers superior
advantages for the eventual perma-
nent housing of the battalion with
practically the same degree of ac-
cessibility to the city and to Fort
Myer as the site near the main gate
OF the national cemetery. Such de-
velopment will improve an area
which has been long neglected. Part
Of this land has been unused for
several years, and much of it is un-
suitable for agricultural purposes.
The construction of permanent
quarters will remove blight which
has deferred the development OF this
particular section of Arlington
County.
The unification of the garrison,
which consists of the infantry bat
talon and the cavalry and artillery
units stationed at Fort Myer, is
highly desirable. This desirability is
enhanced by the locating OF the in
fantry barracks at a point where
they will effect an Improvement
rather than become detriment to
the environs of the National Capital.
