Before he had Jost his milk teeth young Bill was “wrangling” mustangs and break- ing broncs. He was lured from the range by Otto Floto, of the Sells-Floto circus, where he headed a Wild West show and excited spec- tators with his amazing skill at toping and riding. ~ But the color- ful atmosphere and the cowboy style of riding most appealed to him, and, when a wise motion pic- ture producer, Lester F. Scott, of- fered him opportunities, he accept- ed. It was with Bill's capabilities in mind that “The Ridin’ Rowdy” was prepared.and’ screened. . .The story has to do with the never-aging Western theme—the fights between | the cattle and the sheep men. p o el MARY PICKFORD AT | COLISEUM TOMORROW [ 3 Mary ‘Pickford in “uvurothy Ver- non’ of Haddon Hall” is the screen feature at the Coliseum Sunday and Monday.

In 1794, Capt. Van- couver found the whole of Glacier Bay filled with a single glacier which had an ice cliff near the mouth of the present bay. Since 1794, however, the main glacier has disappeared and each branch has!

Two West Points Train Italians as Officers BY HUDSON HAWLEY (Associated Press Staff Writer) TURIN, Italy, July 27. — Italy’s two West Points, the Royal Mili- tary Academy here and its sister institution at Modena, are getting ready to break in the next crop of future marshals and generals. Aspirants for officers’ stars have cations, accompanied by their cre- dentials. Soon after that they will be told whether they are deemed of the right timber for the Italian army. Then those selected will set-* to have absorbed sufficient general knowledge, though drilling in mod- ern languages, notably French, is insisted upon. While the West Point cadets are lodged and fed and paid a modest stipend, the Italian youth have to pay for the privilege of serving their country. The first year they are charged $85 for board and lodg- ing, $42 for maintenance of equip- ment and $63 for their first uni- form outfit, a total of $190. They may benefit by that same rate in their second year if they pass their annual examinations with' honor. tle down to a long, hot summer of “cramming” for the examinations to be held the first fortnight in¥ September. : Uniike their counterparts in the' United States, the Italian youths 2vid for a martial career are not dependent upon their Senators, Congressmen or the Chief of the| State for appointments to eitheri Turin or Modena.

At West Point the star Otherwise the global charge for second year men is $275. Youths whose fathers died in the late war are admitted free of all charges and in general are given the preference in appointments. Ap- plicants who have served in the Fascist youth organization, the Av- anguardista and Belilla, are, offier considerations being equal, given a shance ahead of the rest. e —,———— TWO NAVY' SEAPLANES MAKE TRIP TO SITKA The Navy' seaplanes Juneau:and Sitka, piloted ‘respectively. by Lieut.- Comdr.

Then, later, the | climate changed—the snowfall be- came heavier and the winds were colder—and caused the glacier. to spread. But before the glacier| was enlarged, great rivers of water came rushing down the mountain- sides, carrying gravel and sand be- fore them and buried the forests. Possibly it broke countless numbers of trees but in some places the water flowing over the forest floor was quiet and did very little harm and silt, on _the forest, which set- tled so gently that it buried even the mosses without hurting their form to any great extent. These mosses can now be dug out of the gravel and when washed off, they still retain their fresh, green color. I have been most fortunate in find- ing 13 kinds of mosses, spruce cones, and even found a specimen which when examined under the microscope, proved to be the un- harmed pieces of an insect’s wing. other than depositing fine sand‘ The fact that all this vegetation was buried under 3,000 feet of ice makes such a discovery as an in- sect’s wing a thing of great inter- est.” Spectacular Place “Incidentally,” continued Dr. Cooper, “we were fortunate enough to get into Johns-Hopkins Inlet, which is usually closed to naviga- found it to be the most spectacular place in this vicinity. The Inlet| goes into the very heart of the Fairweather Range and the lofty peaks at the head of the Inlet towered above us at a height of 10,000 feet. Mt. Fairweather itself was only a short distance away. Johns-Hopkins Glacier is at the head of the Inlet and is very active in iceberg discharges. The Inlet is eight miles long and we were able to cover about four miles of that distance. We also saw two other glaciers that were coming down tremendously steep mountain sides, and which ended in the “We visited an inter-glacial for- Don’t | us on the ’phone to say that you are planning a party for tomorrow niglit and will probably need more elec@ricit& than you usually consume, You nllay'tlake it for granted that our genefati}lg i)lai’lt's w1fl produ}:e enough light and pow;a;- for all your demands. 5 Ji L MRGEE a4hy Electricity can help in many ways t:) make your i 2 | T, party a success.
