MAIN STREET THEATRE
Previews of Features

The hectic and oftimes exciting
lives of today's young people are
woven into a gray, fantastic pat
tern for 1.-THE Devil and Miss
JONES'" Jean Arthur's latest star
ring vehicle, at the Main Street
Theatre Sunday, Monday and Tues
day, April 27-28-29.
Unique in its theme and Incl
dents, the film presents its lovely
star as a pretty clerk in large
New York emporium. Her life is
like that Of millions of other SIM
liar workers until her motherly in
stinct prompts her to take under
her wing a friendless old shoe clerk
helplessly laundering in his newly
acquired job.
When her aged protege sudden
ly turns out to be a multi-million-
aire who owns the establishment
and who is posing as an employee
merely to find out what is back
of a revolt in the ranks of the en-
ployees, the story hits a merry
pace.
Miss Arthur's romance with the
young leader of the rebels" the
regeneration of the old imposter,
who soon sympathizes with the
movement, and his own participa-
ton in a demonstration against his
own tyrannical management, lead
to the sparkling climax Of this gay
offering.
Robert Cummings has the rom
antic lead, while Charles Coburn
is seen as the rich tycoon. Other
important roles are played by Ed
mund Gwenn, Spring Byington, S.
z. Sakall, and William Demarest.
Sam Wood directed this Frank
Ross production for RKO Radio,
written by Norman Krasna.

TENT TALK

EVlQently some or the mud and
rain that has so generously visited
our camp has seeped into Captain
Carl Erickson's letters home. The
other day he received a shiny
black pair of rubber boots neatly
boxed. The only drawback is that
they are minatures-no captain
could possibly wear them at all.
The boots are now occupying a
coveted place Of honor on the cap
tain's desk and it seems that the
dry spells are longer since they
have arrived.
We heard a little true story yes
terday that is making us watch
our step very closely. One of the
more Economically inclined lads
around camp had a sweet little
racket-he was keeping two girls
supplied with love letters at the
same time. Everything was going
smoothly, our charming scoundrel
was having the time Of his young
life getting two different love mis-
sives every week and the gals, none
the wiser, were reading his syndi-
Gated stuff and calling it their very
own. But there is many a slip be-
twixt the cup and lip-and our
lotharic pulled a boner-he sent
the right letter to the WRONG
girl! The little fat perfumed let
tiers he used to get so frequently
have ceased arriving-and the dis
illusioned girl is probably in a con-
vent now.
We are at loss to explain how
this crept into our column-but
perhaps it's because 1t made us
view the world with a happy eye.
This little take was in a recent is
sue Of Golfers. The farmer heard
some suspicious noises out in his
hen house in the dead Of the night.
Out our hero went, armed with his
trusty double-barrel and clad in the
latest 1890 model drop seat under
wear. When he reached the door
of the hen house, he squatted on
his launches to peer into the dark
interior. His old setter dog, arous-
ed by the unfamiliar noises, walked
up behind him and nosed his stoop-
ing master affectionately with his
cold nose where the drop seat gap
ed invitingly open. The farmer
lost his poise and his equilibrium;
the gun exploded and twelve fine
hens lay dead upon the floor and
the mysterious intruder who had
started the whole proceedings left
at leisure. Moral: Don't get caught
with your pants down!
The sergeant in our outfit was
having trouble with his feet-they
hurt him badly so down to the hos
pital he went. The nurse took one
look at the offending pedal EXTERN
tiles and said, Probably If you
wore your shoes on the right feet
they wouldn't hurt so much"

GAIA. To Install
 New Teletypes

c. B. Linehan, assistant air ways engineer, arrived on the Lakina to start work on addit- ions to the c. A. A. station on Woody island.
 Construction will include four additional buildings to bring the total to nine. The control station will be added to, a new trans mission bnilding and two more quarters will be erected.
 It is understood communica- tion service will be greatly speed ed by addition of frequency-mo- dulation teletypes, which will include Kodiak in a transocean- ic network that now embraces Nome, Fairbanks, Juneau, Sitka  and Seattle. The teletypes will also be installed at the Alaska Communications system office, and the army and navy will each get one. They will be for non- commercial use, and will be used mainly for weather reports. New equipment, including a balloon for wind draft readings will be added for weather observation.
 The latest equipment made by Federal and Bendix will be used, and it is expected to take two months, although the time will depend on how soon the material can be obtained.
 Twelve skilled men have ar rived for the work, and laborers needed will be hired locally.
 The new te.etype will permit an operator to type out a mes sage and be received instantly and simultaneously at the other stations, and is more accurate Weather reports will be sent ev- cry two hours.

Rotarians Start
 Search For Fielel

A possibility for mail service to Kodiak by airplane on a reg ular schedule was revealed at the Rotary luncheon Tuesday when a communication to Ray Martin from the Star Airways, Anchor age, was read.
 Ia it the company said that if a landing field could be provided for them here, they would es- tablish a regular schedule and carry passengers, mail and freight, Such a service would give direct airmail connections betWeer Kodiak and Seattle. As 1t IS now airmaiI from Seattle goes to An chorage by plane, from there to Seward by rail, and then catch es the next boat for Kodiak.
 Airmail leaving Kodiak may go by boat to Seattle and by plane from there, or by boat tp by train up to Anchor age and thence by plane to Seat tie. The new service would give two-day service to Seattle.
 To meet the company's offer several possibilities were discus sed by the Rotary. Two open fields were mentioned as possibit~ ities. One was the open swale on Mill Bay road this side of Thonn- pson's, the other the open groun6 adjacent to the Baptist Child- ren's Home on Mission road. A committee of Charles Marshall Ray Martin and Wayne WaldnP was appointed to investigate loe-
 
 ations.
 The committee was instructed also to contact Comdr. Perry at the naval air station to see Ii there were any possibility of us ing the bases landing fac hties for such a service. It is known that both the army and navy are in bettering the maiA service here.
 c. A. A. has a program ot con struction of emergency air hetas that is said to include 5l new landing fields through out Alaska, and the Rotary club decided also to contacts Marsha8 Hoppin, regional manager, C. A. A.. to see if aid can be obtalneu from that quarter
 Some time ago an offer had be- en made to Star Airways ot s, free landing field on one of the islands across the channel irons Kodiak, but the proposition was turned down at the time because they said the business did not, warrant it. The island site is now in a restricted area.

Committee Visits
 Over-Filled Jail

To prove his point that some thing has to be done about the local jail, Alvin A. Summerlin, deputy U. s. Marshall, yesterday gathered a committee together and conducted it through the jail so conditions could be seen frsthand.
 The committee was composed of R. H. Chadwick, mayor, Dr. A. Bates Jones, chairman city's health committee, Gene Dawson, publisher and William Lamme, editor, of the Kodiak Mirror.
 The federal jail, is also used by the city, is located near the rear of the Fielder building. The jail proper is one room, 15 feet wide and 30 feet long, with four windowless cubby-holes on one side with two hunks in each.
 The room accommodates 12, and at the time there were IS in 1t and 4 had just been released Those that can't get hunks curl up in a blanket and sleep on the uncovered floor. In the end of the room that has the window is the kitchen, which consists of coal stove, a table and a sink. Adjoining the kitch- en and opening into it is the toi- let with a loose homemade door. On the wall hung one large ket- tie for cooking. One of the pris- oners said there were more ket- ties, "but they all had holes in them" The prisoners do their own cooking.
 The walls of the room are pa pered more or less with news paper. In the paper the bedbugs "all three kinds" said Dr. Jones, make their home, and at night drop down from the ceiling. The inmates get covered with them.
 The federal prisoners have had to take measures among them selves when any group of drunk en city prisoners are crowded in with them. They hide all the knives and kitchen utensils, and have had to go farther than that and take turns sitting up all night guarding the stove and keeping the drunks from throw ing hot coffee around or using the tea kettle of boiling water as a weapon.
 Of more danger than the in ebriates are diseased and ment- ally unbalanced prisoners. Not only have fl been crammed in- to the room at one time, but there have been tubercuIar pris- oners among them. Dr. Jones pointed out that contamination of the others was easy under such COT di ions.
 At the time of the committees 1 isit 8 prisoner with a tubercul- aF history was one of two in the
