The Women's Civic Club of Ket- chikan is one of the youngest clubs | in the Federation, having joined this last year, and it is also one of the most active. They have carried on a splendid work, estab- lishing comfort stations near the beaches, and on the Deer Mountain Trail, containing tables and chairs for the use of hikers. Over four hundred dollars was spent on this! work. They also established a community Christmas tree, and got and distributed information cards for tourists.

SHOWING, PALACE e - o That dainty and clever little movie star Marie Prevost is at the Palace tonight for the last two! times in “Man Bait.” She is not only clever but shapely and if you, don't believe it, see her in a one-: piece bathing suit in which she appears. during the screening of this comedy drama. ] There are scenes of tremendous power and appeal in “Man Bait.”, Marie’s meeting with a rich bound- er who insults her and whom she knocks down with a blow on the jaw, will thrill the most blase fan, Her discharge and resolve to be- come a “taxi-dancer” in a dance hall where she meets the harum- scarum son of wealth, will awaken enthysiasm. The kidnapping of Marie—the announcement to an aristoeratic family that its leading gon is to marry a poor girl—the saving of Gerald Sanford's 1life from drowning by Marie—her re- fusal of a bribe to break her wed- ding engagement and her discovery that the man she believed she loved was a cad at heart—and the final discovery that she loves another— shere are scenes that make “Man Bait” a picture in a thousand. #STREET ANGEL® AT 0 ‘| COLISEUM ON SUNDAY | s ———0 “Street Angel,” the William Fox screen version of the play by Monckton Hoffe, will ‘be the fea- ture at the Coliseum Sunday.

HARRY LANGDON IS AT PALACE SUNDAY G —— A brand new twist to an original idea, created out of a condition which arose during the last few moments of the World War, is re- sponsible for Harry Langdon’s cur- rent comedy feature for First Na- tional Pictures, “Heart Trouble,” coming to the Palace Sunday open- ing at the matinee. The gigantic task that confronted a German family which arrived in the decision they must make and| its ultimate result, is the keynote of this picture. Successful in Germany—equally suceessful in America and with a host of friends, there came a time for a decision—and they made it— their boy must enlist. But with whom? How Harry Langdon solves this problem for his parents; how he sayes the country he serves in the most thrilling and humorous man- ner possible—supply the plot. No amount of words can convey the humor which abounds in this story. Thrills, romance and laughs pile up in rapid succession and the most spectacularly funny climax caps this Langdon picture that will bring roars of laughter from the specta- tor.

AR AN W hiskey and Bad Temper Blamed For Most Crime ATLANTA, Ga., ..y 20—~Whis- key anc-bad tempers cause much of America’s crime, says James L Beavers, Atlanta’'s Police Chief who presided over the recent conven- |tion here of the International As |sociation of Police Chiefs. “Of course, many of our crim- inals are made in the home,” the Chief said. “Parental neglect of the child is one of the greatest police problems of the day. Training of children doubtless has more to do with the making of good or bad citizens than any other one thing.” Persons under influence of liquor or a bad temper are most likely to commit crime, he says. “Any person who acts or talks while in a rage likbly will live to regret it.” —_——————— Try the Tve 0'Clock Dinner Specials at Mabry's, -adv. — New, select line of visiting cards Empire. lm.!u_ne.
