LABOR ON SUNDAY
Second Meadow on Doug
las Trail 70 Be Scene
Of Work and Feed


Steak. without many trimmings,
but with plenty of coffee and buns
to make a meal that will fill the
aching void that results from hard
labor. is for the Second Meadow
dining salon on Sunday.
Chef Irvine Noble and his. Juneau
Ski Club tournament committee will
be on hand to flap the tenderloins,
and succulent morsel is promised
all Club members who put in the
first half of the day helping to put
the slalom hill in shape
Heavy SHOWS have made most of
the meadow unstable, with only
few packed grooves criss-crossing
it. 1t is planned therefore that the
Club devote this weekend to smooth
ing and packing the entire hill, to
laying out slalom course that will
tempt even the most tyro of hickory
adicts, and to constructing a small
Jump on which the Henning Cup
Jumping con be held at later date.
| All will not be work for those
that turn out; by no means. An in
dustrious and able bodied crew of
trampers should be able to work over
the hill in a few hours, so, it is quite
likely that the steak luncheon will
be followed by "hare and hounds"
or other event in which everyone
present can compete.
Work is planned to commence at
IL o'clock Sunday morning and the
full Club membership is asked to be
on hand at that time. Transporta-
ton for large number of skiers
will be provided by cars which are
scheduled to leave Bert Caro's Ski
Shop at 1890 O'Clock Sunday fore
noon.

CAPITOL Bill
GIVES RETURN
OF CApRA HIT
Mr.. Deeds Goes 10 Town
Has Showing Here To-
night and Saturday

There have been lots of pictures
that were hailed as favorable COM
parsons to 1T Happened One
Night which showed last weekend
at the Capitol Theatre, the now inn
mortal Columbia production that
Frank Capra injected with the di-
rectorial genius that is SO definitely
his. 1t is admitted, however, that
none really came up to the high
standard of romantic comedy that
Capra set with that prize-winning
film.
Now, with his inimitable magic
touch, Capra has brought forth an
other 1T Happened One Night a
gay, charming Cinderella story
called Mr.. Deeds Goes to Town, =
which returns to the Capitol Thea
tire tonight and Saturday with Gary
Cooper and Jean Arthur in the
leading roles. Critics have welcomed
it as the only picture that could be
regarded as a contender for the
many honors that fell to the Clark
Cable laudette Colbert vehicle.
MIR. Deeds Goes to Town tells
the story of Longfellow Deeds. a
rustic young man who suddenly falls
heir to $20,000.0O0 and goes to New
York City against his will to claim
his money. The adventures that be-
fall him are said to make for some
of the choicest hilarity the screen
has seen in years.
He gets mixed up with a girl
newspaper reporter; goes out on a
roaring drunk; feeds doughnuts to
a horse to see how many the animal
will eat before asking for cup OF
coffee; dashes madly around the
city streets in his underwear; tries
to give his entire fortune away tc
needy farmers; and manages to get
himself arrested as mentally incom-
petent.

Is there any defense against this

never yet been a weapon for which
an effective answer has not been
found. 1t is long way from sue

At present it is extremely costly
to produce the superfine iron dust
needed, and supplies sufficient for
large-scale attack are not forth
coming. Moreover, this method of
attack is eff1cient only If the dust
is released within 100 yards of a
