JUNEAU TONIGHT Normanna Male Chorus Ar-| | ranges Fine Program for Coming Concert Members of the Normanna Male Chorus of Ketchikan will leave there tonight in a specially chart-| ered vessel for Juneau so as to be sure to be here for their concert in the Coliseum Theatre Saturday night. They had made reservaticns on the motorship Northland, which | was scheduled .to arrive at t port Friday night or Saturday fore- | noon, but the vessel's crash on a| reef off Shelmcken Island while bound north yesterday compelled an immediate change in the trans-| portation plans of the singers. Yesterday afternoon, Severin| Swanson and Einar Olsen of this city, who are directing arrange- ments for the concert, received a cablegram from the chorus saying that it would depart from Ket- chikan tonight and that its 380, choral singers and several soloists; would arrive here before Saturday morning. All Kinds of Melody The program of selections for the concert was given to the printer| today, so copies can be distributed | at the theatre door to persons at-| tepding. The program shows that | mysic can be sad, sentimental or|si gldd and that all three kinds can; be interesting and enjoyable. The chorus will emphasize the happy and hilaricus side in the most of their songs, and it is this,| perhaps, which makes the singers cuch great favorites in Ketchikan, where they are regarded as the/ most popular musical organization| in the ecity. Fine Solo Number i Edwitt Sande, tenor soloist of the| chorus, will offer an especially fine number by the great Russian com- l.l'l"l'l.[ S'I'OIQIES éélle &‘ww Barbara Benneit Barbara Bennett, dancing to marry Morton Downey, has resumed her footwork.

Fifty~five pcosons submitted name Capital. According to the| conditicns of the name contest, the person to suggest first the accept-| able name was to receive a season | ticket. The two to whom the| | awards were made were so close to- ’g~ther in point of time with re- spect to their suggestions that Mr. Kubley decided to give two pnzes‘ instead of just one. ‘The name second in popularity to Capital, was Metropolitan, sug- gested by 50 letter writers. In all, about 1200 letters received, Mrs. Davenport said in her let- ter, which was dated 4:30 o'clock in the afternoon oi January 10: “I suggest ‘Capital Theatre. 1 think it most appropriate because Juneau is the capital of Alaska.” Mrs. Dickson’s letter was also dated 4:30 in the afternoon of Jan- uary 10. It follows: “As the theatre in the capital city of Alaska, I suggest ‘Capital Theatre’ Every man, woman and child in this city is aware of the fact that he or she constitutes a part of the population of the capi- tal city, and it therefore is quite appropriate that you call your theatre the ‘Capital’” | | [ | the were / | tr |15. — Machines which cut sugar| |cane, strip it of blades, cut it | again into small pieces and load it into truck cars all in one opera- tion, will be used to harvest cane crops on Everglades plantations| | this winter.

The law of averages has established that at least certain of the promises to pay must be met. The funds to meet these promises to pay must always be at hand. The risk to one company in a given promise to pay cannot differ sub- stantially from that of the ,other company. The rates for such risk cannot vary. They are based upon the same experience. They both accept the same probability. When you pay you receive nothing but a promise and this promise can be redeemed only if the prices charged are scientifically correct.” By JAMES A BEHA, Former Superintendent of In- surance, State of New York.
