3 + s A - Rain,” TONIGHT SATURDAY TORN RU KINGS SEE The Famous Ring in their most tl battles Attractions At Theatres I | " “ROAD TO RUIN" IS | AT PALACE TONIGHT i ) Liquor, dope, white slavery,—all} these bugaboos of a past generation have given way to a new menace that threatens the very life of the, nation,—the menace of Juvenile De- linquency. 3 i Liquor affects comparatively few dope 11 fewer, while families, white slavery as symbolized by red | lights and segregated districts, has s practically ceased to exist. Juvenile Delinquency as expressed in the amazing and unexplained, moral decay of modern youth is a problem that reaches into every commumty and threatens every home. It is difficult for many parents | o understand the freedom of mod- ern thought and conduct, and it is hard for them to believe that their child could be in danger. All such should see “The Road to which opens at the Palace Theatre tonight, and which is de- seribed as “A Flaming Warning to the Parents of America.” “The Road to Ruin,” which is based on an actual case, is an amazing frank story of the temp- tations confronting the children of today and contains a tremen- dous ‘lesson, while at the same time, because of the.extremely able handling of a delicate subject, it is a first rate entertainment. ‘Unlike most fight films, “Kings| of the Ring” which is the added feature on this program, shows only the high spots, the knockout rounds, between Tunney and Heeney, Tun- ney and Dempsey, Dempsey and Firpo, Uzcudun and Wills, Sharkey and Maloney, Villa and Wilde, Leonard and Tendler, and others. It is a thriller from start to fin- ish with plenty of action. | RIOTOUS “FANCY | | “BAGGAGE” CLICKS | -7 fiNo one needed to tell the audi- | ence to “give the little girls a big hand,” at the Coliseum Theatre last night, when Audrey Ferris and Myrna Loy began their pretty and petulant, rivalry in hilarious “Fancy Baggage,” Warner Bros.’ latest com- edy-drama.

IHanson played the captain of a ‘tmmauldmic liner, in Jackie Coo- gan's new Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer «vehicle, “Buttons,” which comes to the Palace Theatre soon. ‘The ac- \tor’s brother is captain of one of the largest of the transatlantic ves- {sels—and Hanson himself was a \sailor as a hoy. The actor is the first male in‘his family for many generations whc tl'm.s not followed the sea. His father, grandfather, and great- grandfather were all sea captains, and his brother is one today. Lars himself''started to follow, the sea but longed for the stage and went through the Royal Dramatic School at StockHolm, becoming a stage celebrity, and then a film star in Europe. George Hill, who directed “The ‘Csuahnns and the Murphys,” and |“Ten 1t to the Marines,” directed the new production from his own joriginal story, scenarized by Marian Coustance Blackton.

Lomen, Cnairman of the | Board of Directors of the Lomen | Reindeer Corporation with offi- | ces in Nome, Seattle and New York, arrived in Juneau on the steamer | Alaska, and is the house-guest of Gov. George A. Parks at the Gov- | ernor’s Mansion. The Lomen Reindeer Corporation has been in existence since 1914 and was organized by five brothers in Nome, Alaska. Lomen was made president, was t! senior member of the firm, and represented the company in New York.' His brother Alfred Lomen took care of the business inte n Nome, while another brother talph Lomen, moved to Seat vhere he acted as another repre- entative of the firm.

The vapid growth of the.reindeer in- dustry ‘since these. two brothers became members of this progressive srganization has been largely duc ‘0 their financial backing and to their undetatignblo personal in- terest. It will be remembered that Leon- ard Baldwin recently made a be- quest of one and one-half million dollars to Drew Seminary, a Meth- odist school in New Jersey, and this institution will be known as Brothers College in honor of the ! Baldwin brothers. Reindeer Industry In speuking of the reindeer in- dustry, Mr. Lomen said: “The origi- nal object back of the introduction of domesticated reindeer into Alas- arl o C‘“,‘remulc reindeer to whites. are also connccted withf At} He was a visitor| In Juneau last August enroute to ’k’\ by the Federal Government soffie ‘30 years ago, was to make of the | Eskimo an independent people, to give them a food supply and to fur- nish them with a means of liveli- hood. The reindeer were imported | from Siberia, 1280 animals being hmught over during a ten-year period lasting from 1892 to 1902, ‘and through a system of appren- ‘Uceshlp formulated by the Burcau of Education, the ownership of these |animals passed from the Govern- | ment to individial Eskimos, to their Hnsuuctors. the Lapps, and Church | Missions working among the FEski- | mo people. i Regulations “The Eskimos,” continued Mr. Lomen, “were not trained business men and did not know the vadue; of the property entrusted to them, 50, to protect them from the whites, a regulation' was adopted by the Government prohibiting the sale of They could sell and exchange with one ancther but not to the whites. Tn 11914, however, it became possible (for whites to own femal¥ reindeer, and it was at this time that the 1,200 reindeer and organized the |Lomen Reindeer Corporation in | Nome. . “The herds thrived and increased in numbers far beyond the dreams of those responsible for their being. The 5,000 or 6,000 Eskimos of Alas- ka today are the owners of more than 500,000 reindeer and the origi- [nel purposes for the introduction jof reindeer in Alaska have long been realized. The Eskimos, for- merly nomads, have developed into |a pastoral people.

The whites, who have undertaken to lalleviate and st iten out this problem, have such things to over- come as the expense of equipment for butchering, cold. storage, and lighterage; the lack of expert help; adverse climatic conditions; and the high cost of transportation. “Though' the reindeer is one of the oldest of the domesticated ani- mals, reindeer meat'is a compara- |tivély new product on the American market and is fast becoming a pop- product | industries mining where ment ir Every Ji Means | iSurplus fund l Subscribed and sworn to before Lomen brothers bought a herd of || 1929. sufficient to absorb the surplus in the Alaska herds, requires a vast nount of advertising and public- acking the necessary funds the product must sell on lone and therefore, great ould be exercised in the ation of the meat for mar- using first class sanitary rs, and cold storage plants, by taking every precaution in; shipping of the product to the ! poke of the rein- industry being an Alaska and prophesied that it d become one of the greatest of Northwestern Alaska.
