PECK “People throughout the country are not only greatly encouraged but business, itself, is actually on the increase both in the Eastern and Western parts of the United States,” declared Lyman S. Peck, Geenral Manager of the Pacific Al- aska Airways, who is on his way back to his Fairbanks headquart- ers after spending the last two months in the States, during which he traveled extensively. While Mr. Peck was away he spent some time in New York City, ‘Washington, D. C., Philadelphia and other cities of the East, conferring with officials of the Pan-American | Airways, of which the Pacific Al- aska Airways is a subsidiary. “We anticipate extending our Al- askan operations and are increas- ing our fleet of planes with sev- eral new ones.

Red Grapes and business throughout the Territory.’| STAR OF FILM FEATURED HERE Lewis Stone, Elizabeth Al- lan, Phillips Holmes in Cast at Capitol Any motion picture directed by Clarence Brown, who has filmed|: outstanding photoplays as and the Devil” “Anna Christie,” “A Free Soul” and “Let- ty Lynton” is invariably anti- cipated by the knowing filmgoer as something above the ordinary. “Looking Forward,” Brown's lat- est effort, which opens tonight at the Capitol Theatre, more than lives up to the exceptional stan- dards set by this brilliant sereen director. Depicting an intensely human story of the efects of the depression on rich and poor alike, the picture is stirringly enacted by Lionel Barrymore in the starring role, suporting players. Two Families Involved The story of “Looking Forward” probes imto the lives of two men and their families under the acid test of current business adversity. One of these men is the head of a great London department store, the other is a plodding, honest, old “worm”, who had been employed by the firm for forty years as a ‘bookkeeper. While the latter, faced with the loss of his livelihood, finds his fam- ily rallying around him to make a new and better start in life, the store magnate is deserfed by his flighty young wife and is on the brink of selling the store to a rival. When everything seems blackest, his children come forth ‘and by their courage and loyalty help him to pull through. Lionel Barrymore offers one of the finest performances of his ca- reer as the old bookkeeper, a por- trayal reminiscent of his character- ization of Kringelein in “Grand such “Flesh | as the department store owner, and the picture is further benefited by the competent work of Benita Hume, FElizabeth Allan, Phillips Holmes, Colin Clive, Alec B. Fran- cis, Doris Lloyd, Halliwell Hobbes. Douglas Walton and a number of 1 others. \GERTRUDE HELLENTHAL iS ADMITTED TO BAR N CHICAGO, ILLINOIS Miss Gertrude Hellenthal, sister of Jack Hellenthal, S. Hellenthal and T. A. Hellenthal, who for the eight years previous to the death of Mrs. Rockefeller MoCormick, was private secretary to the wom- an at one time supposed to be the richest in the world, has re- cently been admitted to the bar in <Chicago, accofling to information received here. Miss Hellenthal was so helpful in handling the spectacular post of secretary to the eccentric, wealthy woman, that she was retained by the Chicago Title and Trust com- pany to assist in the administra- tion of the estate, following Mrs. McCormick’s death. She still lives in the gray stone mansion on Lake Shore Drive, in Chicago, and occupies a book-lined room off from Mrs. McCormick’s bedroom, where during the years | she stood as a buffer befween Mrs. McCormick and those eager to in- vade her privacy, she pursued her legal studies as well. Miss Hellenthal arranged the fur- niture for the auction sale, which has received so much publicity in all parts of the counfry, of Mrs. MecCormick's priceless furniture, her gold plate art treasures and per- sonal effects, and sat with Muriel MecCormick Dyer, supporting her during the ordeal when her moth- er's effects were sold. Two Ppos- sessions of both sentimental and | intrinsic value, whicH were pur- chased by her at the New York auction will remind Miss Hellen- thal of her years as private secre- tary to the wealthy and eccentric woman, a pair of magnificenfly em- broidered linen sheets and a great gold ladel from the famous Bor- { ghese dinner service. Miss Hellenthal has many friends {in Juneau, made when she taught {in the commrecial department of | the High School, who have watch- | ed with interest the busy and col- { orful life she has led in the fifteen | years since leaving Alaska. - e UNITED STATES | DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR GENERAL LAND OFFICE District Land Office Anchorage, Alaska.

He has watched the progress of events intently since he turned over | gement of the Giants to protege, Memphis Bill the Terry. He was as delighted as any one associated with the club by the sensational exploits of the team last year. Mentally he played every game of the world's series from start to finish. - While he thinks the idea of a standard ball for the two big leagues is all right in itself, Mc- Graw told a gathering of baseball folks recently that he thought it was a mistake to adopt the livelier American League ball, instead of the less deadly Nafional League article. “The National League clubs last season played better baseball” commented McGraw. “It was more nearly like the old days fhan any- thing I have seen in 15 years. Tt spectators evidently liked if, too. GAME NEEDS FIGHT Touching upon one of His favor- ite themes MeGraw suggested the advantage of more manifestations of spirit on the ball field by the contending clubs, as one means of helping revive public interest. “I know steps have been taken to eliminate fraternizing by the players of rival clubs,” he remark- ed, “but I think it would be a good thing for the game if there was more of the type of rivalry that existed for instance, between the old Giants and Chicago Cubs. “We don't want rowdyism, of course, on or off the field. But the authority of the umpires should be less pronounced and the playars given a chance to let off steam now and then. The crowds like to feel that the clubs out fhere are Combination sets off white crepe frock. fighting for all they can get. They | like to see some evidence of it. A scrappy, aggressive club is alway: popular,” THERE CAME WILLIE NEW MANAGER | <[ | OF TIGERS HAS GOT 'EM EOIN’ Mickey Cochrane Making Quick Hit with Detroit Baseball Fans By EARL J. HILLIGAN DETROIT, ' Jan. 31—If Mickey Cochrane is half as successful on the baseball field next summer as he is now in his rigorous *“buns and butter campaign,” baseball fans here are confident they will see the busiest, most hustling mana- ger the Detroit Tigers have had sinee the days of dynamic Hughie Jennings. |ATl of which is to say that Coch- rane is a successful after-luncheon speaker, with a date book filled from now until the latter part of February, when he will take his ball club to Lakeland, Fla. Enthused About It Mickey appears to have “hit his stride.”” After dabbling in saxo- phone warbling, song wrifing and radio broadcasting Cochrane's bat- ting average with Detroit fans is growing as he appears daily at club luncheons, church breakfasts and meetings of youngsters who have ambitions to some day be- come big-league ball players. Cochrane has warmed to the sub- ject of his new nagership so. completely that he is right at home before the table cloth and glass- ware stage. His gestures, as sharp and quick as his signals to wav- ering pitchers, add convincing sin- cerity to his remarks. And when Recalling the old days when he was with the Baltimore club and one of the best base-runners of | his time, McGraw related this in- | cident: “I was on first base when Wil- lie Keeler looped a single to short left. T was on top of second base easily and knowing the outfielder had a bad arm, T suddenly hit up speed and darted for third. As I expected, the throw was bad and I decided to keep going. The throw to the plate was wide and I slid home safely, but that isn't the point of the story. T was barely out of the way when Keeler came sliding across the plate, too!” \CREDIT ASSOCIATION TO HAVE OFFICE HERE Charles Waynor arrived in Ju- meau on the steamer Alaska yes- terday and has opened an office in the Valentine Building for the { Alaska Credit Bureau. He has also been appointed Alaska representa- tive of the Collection department for the Seattle Association of Cred- it Men, he says. For some time the various credit men’s associations in Phoenix, Ari- zona, San Diego, Los Angeles, Oak- land and San Francisco, Denver, | Portland, Tacoma, Seaftle and oth- er western cities, have recognized | the importance of having their own | source of information for credit re- ports and the feeling has crystal- lized in the formation of a new | corporation called the American |Credit Exchange, to compile and distribute fo members of the Credit Men’s Associations, reports on re- tailers engaged in business through- out Alaska and states west of the Rockies, Mr. Waynor said. This cor- poration is separate and distinct from any of the associations but is closely affiliated with them and they are, in turn, tied in with the National Association of Credit Men, he declared. Mr. Waynor will be in charge of the compilation of credit reports for this new enter- prise, in this district, as well as being connected with the Seattle Association of Credit Men. — e e In normal times, Idaho residents market approximately a million rabbit hides a year. 'DESPERADO FREES FIVE CONVICTS . Ambushing a working party at the Eastham state prison farm in Texas, Clyde Barrow, Texas' most notorious gunman, laid down a ma- chine gun barrage that wounded two guards and permitted the escape of five prisoners. One of them was Raymond Hamilton, Barrow's forme® companion. Above Barrow is shown in a snapshot found after the oute law was forced to make a quick get-away from a posse. Inset is Bonnie Parker, t¥ov-gun companion ¥ Barrow who was believed to have aided Bim. (Associated Press Photos) he injects an occasional story his “timing” is as perfect as when he swings on one down the groove. Detroit’s baseball-minded public likes him chiefly because of his enthusiasm for his new job and his determination to make the Tigers a hustling, fighting ball club. Makes No Predictions Asked what he thought of the prediction of his old manager, Connie Mack, that the Tigers may win the American League pennant Mickey remarked that Mack never picked his own club to win the flag and he didn't intend to pre- dict as much for Detroit, although “we’ll be in the fight all the way.” “You don't think Connie Mack was talking through his hat, do you?” someone asked. “Ah-say, what are you trying to do, anyway? Put me on the spot too” replied the new Tiger boss. S e Pe oo vesecepoos ’ AT THE HOTELS . 200000000000 Gastineau Mrs. Pearl Taft, St. Louis, Mo.; Dorothy Michells, S8acramento, Cal- ifornia; O. N.
