BORROWED TIME' IS FEATURED HERE
 AS LOCAL FEATURE
Lionel Barrymore He a ds Cast in Capitol The
 dtre Production

Lionel Barrymore, who in his 30 years of motion pictures has es- tablished many a landmark, carves a new niche for himself with his superb performance of the lovable old outspoken Gramp, in "On Bor- rowed Time" which opens tonight at the Capitol Theater.
 Easily the most unusual film 0f the year, On Borrowed Time" Is also one of the most heart-warm- ing and touching. It has every kind of laughter, from the heartiest roar to the most delighted chuckle. It has tears and suspense, and an inspirational life that sends audi ences out of the theater with some thing to talk about for days. And it has Lionel Barrymore in the most perfect characterization he has ever achieved.
 For this simple story of a grand father who desperately fights Death to prevent the grandson whom he adores from falling into the clutch es of an interruptions aunt, M-G-M has assembled a unique cast of actors actors" Beulah Bondi is at her finest as the devoted Granny, Una Merkel was never more warmly human than as the maid Marcia and Eily MalyOn etches with unerring strokes what must certainly be the most unsym- pathetic role of the year as the entirely despicable Aunt Demetria.

comparatively mild, the length Of he summer growing season is ample, md the land generally is well suited agriculture And yet only hand sul of people live there because of 'ack of means of transportation, because of lack of roads. l have long urged that a road be built the lenth of Kenai Peninsula and then connected with the Seward-MooSe Pass Highway The construction ot such a road and of a few lateral roads would, in my estimation, lead to the speedy settlement of the en- tire Kenai Peninsula district, which can easily support several thousand people. Again I insist that the set lers do not need any grant or sub sidy from the Government but they do need road, and truly civilized living is all but impossible without road facilities.

tural and grazing lands of the Ter ritory. With regard to mnlng, l invite the attention of the members to the testimony of Carl w. Whit ham and MT. Asa c. Baldwin, where in it was shown that the expense of construction of a road in the Nabesna country did not exceed in amount the taxes paid through the operation of one mine which was thereby developed and the working of which was thereby rendered pos sible."
 Scoffs At R. K. Change
 Scoffing at the suggested change of terminus of the Alaska Railroad to Portage Bay, Delegate Dimond said the proposal was clearly fan tastic," and that instead of the change costing five million dollars, as the general manager of the rail- road has estimated, he has good req son to believe such a move would cost in excess of ten million dollars v According to the Delegate there IS not the slightest excuse or Justi- fication for entertaining such pro- posal."
 He then told the House that "It would wreck the city of Seward. It cannot be defended by the volume of traffic which is now carried on the railroad nor the volume there which any man can foresee for the next quarter of century. The in- terest alone on even the lowest es- I timate of the cost of making the change would more than pay the increased expense of operation over that part of the line which 1t is proposed to abandon. It is unthink- able to me that with other appro- priations cut to the very bone on grounds of economy, money should be appropriated for project which even in more prosperous times would be completely devoid of merit.

Criticises u. S.
Army Methods

New York, July 16.-"Wc have no
army Although warfare has chang
cd enormously, we arc still training
officers the way we did in the War
Of 1872" That is the charge made
by Major Leonard Mason in an article
published today by Look Magazine.
Il may get kicked out Of the re-
serve corps as was kicked out Of
PlattSburg for saying the whole sys-
tenn is stupid 10 the point of beng
mlwderous. But l have son who
will soon be of military age II we
go to war, l want him TO have a
break and not step into an army
ruled by dotards. have written this
piece for my sons sake. My son and
yours"
Instead Of teaching officers to be
officers" continues Major Mason.
we are still teaching them how to
make a bed, how to sweep tent,
how to use a rifle and how to march
Many a general officer l have OBJ
served cannot read map.
Il have been attending camps Of
instruction as a reserve officer since
1923. Last summer, as the Senior
major of my regiment, | received
the same instruction l had as d
junior second lieutenant-hoW 10
groom a horse, shoot machine gun,
pass in review. l di dnot hear any,
thing about security against aircraft
or defense against mechanization.
Ignorance of these two matters was
largely responsible for the speed and
ease with which the Allied armies
were driven out of France"
Major Mason goes on to tell of how,
during the last war; he personally
saw how some of the dotards we
had in command murdered our army,
sending wave after wave Of our men
to useless death. l took kind of vow
under that rain Of steel that if 1
ever got out of that mess alive the
American public was going to know
what went on in battle.
Lets get rid of our deadWood Of
ficers now and not wait to have to
do it, as the Allies did on the battle
field in the midst of d military dis
aster that rocked the world. AL
though | believe our high command
is generally sound, the army is too
full of old men. Most of these men
should be retired. Their minds cam
not absorb the new idea of battle
field revolutionized by mechanization
and voice radio. Would you confdc
your sons life to these dotards? l
have seen them in battle and they
shall not have my son if l can help
it. Out with unexpectedly every
one above the grade of lieutenant

Farley's Game

jim Farley's assertion that he
thinks the Democratic convention
will make its nomination unanimous
before the end of the first ballot at
Chicago, and that he favors that
course, gives rise to speculation over
what his own game is in insisting
that his name will be presented to
the convention for the presidential
honor.
The only plausible reason-and it
is hardly that-We can think of is to
permit him to lay claim the rest of
his life to the distinction of having
had his name entered. And it is no
honor at all under circumstances
that exist at this convention. Ger
tainly it cannot be said that he is a
serious contender, or that there is
even the remotest sort Of chance that
ne can win.
Evidences are accommodating, too
that business offers are proving at
tractive to him, and that he will quit
politics for keeps to run the New
York Yankees baseball club, or &C
into some other field of private en-
terprise.
What, then, is the purpose of hav-
ing his name offered to the cOnVen,
ton for the presidency? Jim is no
the sort of fellow who has demon,
Strated any pronounced streak o
vanity, and while it may not iniurt
his amicable relations with hi
chief" it could hardly be calcu
lated to make them faster friends
Time may solve this riddle, as il il
solving that one about the third term
but as of the moment, one can bu
wonder what it's all about.
