There will be a mati- nee Saturday afternoon at 2:15 o'clock for children. Rosie Africh, as Peggy Bryant, has the feminine lead in this sparkling American comedy. Billy Cashen, as Leo Mitchell; Tauno Niemi, as Robert Morse, and Har- ry Lundell, as Art Lindou play the parts of the three pals who have an apartment together. Hilja Reinikka is Mrs. Connelly the lovable, good-natured Irish land- lady. Angus Gair is Mike, her hus- band, who is fond of his little “nip” but also likeable and good- hearted. Orrin Edwards is the actor, Jimmy Valentine; vaudeville Bernice Vieno work in Mrs. Connelly's establish- ment. George Guerin takes the The action takes place in 1916 before America enters the World War. The last act occurs immedi- ately after the Armistice is signed, Christmas Eve, 1918. Some of the songs popular fifteen years ago will be featured. CONTINUES JOURNEY After a couple days' visit with his daughter Mrs. Helen Stragier, Mr. Donald MacDonald, who ar- rived from the south on Sunday, left today on the Alaska for his{ home in Fairbapnks. COMEDY PICTURE “Crazy That Way” is the title of the feature which comes to the Coliseum for tonight only. Another chapter of “The Indians Are Com- ing” will also be shown.

Bunnell's address in the high school as- sembly room yesterday afternoon. Dr.- Bunnell declared that “we are trying to anticipate the future not only in transportation systems, like flying, and in all types of busi- ness, but in education. ~‘We are not building walls of education out of textbooks; but out of the things that are going to be serv- iceable for the end toward which we are working.” DR.

He argued it was a step to prevent religious intolerance. Mr. Nerland and Mr. Johnson of Ketchikan, leading ‘the fight against the bill, asserted it would do more to accentuate religious in- tolerance than to prevent it. The final vote was eight for and seven against passage, and the bill was lost as it lacked one of having the required constituticnal majority. | Flood Control Bill i Measures passed by the House in-| cluded: to appropriate $7500 for flcod control work at Fairbanks; to appropriate $436.86 for Miss| Pt. Agassiz for unpaid salary; re- pealing chapter 56, laws of 1917 relative to marriages and mar-, riage licenses; setting Monday aside ' as a legal holiday when the holi- day falls on Sunfay; repealing sec- tion four of Chapter 56 of the laws of 1919 relative to permanent abatement of places where gamb- ling is conducted; amending Chap- ter 31, laws of 1021, relative to the collection of taxes; regulating mo- tor traffic on highways; to* re- quire bond from cerfain persons or individuals for the payment of Territorial taxes; re-enacting the old law relative to the care of de- pendent children; appropriating $10,000 for a Cook Inlet shipping subsidy. It passed two Senate bills, one amending sections 967 and 968 of the Compiled Laws of Alaska, rela- tive to writs of attachment and repealing Chapter 62 of the laws of 1919 and authorizing postmasters to take oaths of acknowledgement in certain cases, The Senate worked late yester- day afternoon to get eight of its measures in shape for final action today. It had slated considera- tion of the Winn Community prop- erty bill yesterday but did not are acquiring. Often the greatest disadvantages are advantages. The Territory is full of wonderful op- portunities which we know so little about. We should bring a little dream life into education. Experiences of educational experts indicate that we need balanced courses . Engineers and scientists need other subjects than mathe- matics and science; they need a little culture besides knowing how to handle a monkey wrench and pliers.” “A student’s high-schoo! record,” asserted Dr. Bunnell, “stays with him forever; his entire record is down in black and white and if he wants to transfer or go to col- lege his record goes right along with him. High school grades mean a great deal, although, of course, a boy or girl is not judged entirely by them.” | In concluding, Dr. Bunnell read a poem by Edgar Guest which said that the wealth of the world is in our schools and in the construc-| tive thought of high principled men and women. i PRERRARI iy G FIRE ALARM CALLS 1-3 Third and Frankin, 1-4 Prcnt and Franklin, 1-5 Front, near Ferry Way. 1-8 Front, near Gross. 1-7 Pront, opp. City 1-8 Front, near Saw Mill. 1-9 Front at A.
