Mr. Powers made her first ap-
pearance on the stage at the
tender age of two weeks. Her
mother, who was the famous
Kitty Woods, leading lady for
Joseph jefferson, carried Mrs.
Powers on the stage as the
baby in the famous play East

mate theatre, a profession she

While playing stock for the late

number of houses in North

a great many admirers in all

 TALKS OUT ON HAYNES CUTOFF
Is Opposed to Any Trade of ldnd-Canada Should
 Make Overture

WASHINGTON, March 13.-lRl- Senator Magnuson D-Wash) said today he is against suggestion by a member of the Canadian parliament that Canada cede to the United States the section ot land containing the Haines cutoi1 of the Alaska Highway.
 The Senator told reporter that a member of the Canadian Parlia- ment had announced he would Of fer legislation to effect a trade of the cutoff area for a strip of land from Canada to the sea.
 T am opposed to such a trade Magnuson said, because Canada would be trading us worthless land that had no use until we spent huge sums for building the Alaska Highway, for land that IS valuable.
 There is no argument to De settled, and it seems to me that after we spent so much money on the Alaska Highway through Can ada the Dominion at least could maintain the Haines cutoff. There is no reason why the United States and Canada cannot reach an amicable agreement about 1t. If Canada can't afford to main tain the cutoff, she could at least offer to let us do 1t.
