How Alan O’Connor, crack inves- tigator of the Department of Jus- tice, discovers a movie company that is really a giant smuggling ring, and how he gets his man after a battle of wits and breath-taking thrills, makes “Yellow Cargo,” one of the features, a screen en- tertainment of the kind that young @nd old enjoy. Gene Autry, singing star, becomes involved in a new and exciting story treatment in his latest starring pic- ture ‘for Republic—"“Oh, Susanna!” which is the other feature. Instead of rescuing fdir heroines and galloping to the aid of others, Autry spends most of the film are for not a killer and robber with a or Alive” price on his head o Former Secretary Treasury, Andrew Mellon, Passes Away “Dead (Continued irom Page One) Company and the Union Savings |Bank, of Pittsburgh. Three other banks and a trust company later came under Mellon control, the to- tal resources being in excess of $500,- {000,000. The growth of the finan- jcial institutions was accompanied by extension of the Mellon indus- trial interests into many fields, in- {cluding aluminum, coal, iron, oil and shipping,’until some estimators fput at nearly $8,000,000,000 the to- tal worth of the enterprises in which {Mellon and his brothers had a voice. Income Tax Measures Wealth | How much of that total was the (dividual property of Andew Mel- {lon was poblematical. One gauge (of his personal fortune was fur- nished by the Democratic Admin- |istration's attacks on his income tax (returns. The tax board case revealed {that he had filed a return showing |a gross income of $10,890,485 in 1931, |but the Government claimed this total should have been $13,482,660. He paid a tax of $647,559, the return showing a net income of $1,927,116 with capital losses on stock sales of more than $6,500,000 and gifts and charitable contributions of $3,- 821,178 as the chief deduction items. The Government disputed both; |these items and claimed an addi- tional tax of $2,050,068 plus 50 per cent of that amount as penalty. The task of building up and man- wglng the huge fortune which these |flgures mirrored gave Mellon little time for interests outside his office. He was 45 years old before he mar- ried and he was 67 when he entered the Cabinet. He found relaxation In a little gilf, an occasional horse- back ride and by walking to and from his work. He took annual |trips abroad to indulge his hobby | ‘for art and his collection of paint- \ings was one of the best in Amer- ica. | His marriage was contracted to Nora. McMullen at Hartford, Eng- land, September 12, 1900. A daugh- ter, Aisla, who married David K. E. Bruce, and a son, Paul, were born to them. The union ended in divorce in 1910, the children remain- ing with "their father, MRS. CRUMRINE TO PAINT SCENE FOR GASTINEAU HOTEL To further her excellent collec- : |tion of Alaskan paintings, Mrs. Nina Crumrine left this momlng with her daughter, Josephine, on the North- western for Sitkd. The Gastineau Hotel, at whlch Mrs. Crumrine was a guest has com- missioned@ heér to do ‘a ldrge oil painting of Sitka. The commission is the first step in a hew policy to have a number of fine oil paintings of Alaskan scenery in the Gastineau lobby. Mrs. Crumrine, who lived for twelve years in Ketchikan, has spent many summers in Alaska, catching with her paint brush the heart and beauty of Alaskan life and scenery. While she was at Haines this sum- mer, Mrs. Crumrine painted several pictures for the Alaska Steamship Company. - e — LIGHTNING STARTS FIRE Fire, started by lightning, de- #)stroyed the general store at Tofty recently and 6,000 pounds of sup- 'plies were flown there two days later as the ‘Community was short of foodstuff. — .- — GOING OUT 'TO WED Margaret Dunnigan, nurse on the staff of the 'St.”Ann’s Hospital at Fairbanks, has resigned and ‘is jbound for Seattle where she will be | the center is none other than the Yankee star outfielder. footage trying to prove that he is|— VIVIAN LANDS Five Fishing Boats Bring Salmon Catches to Juneau Market Bringing the first load of halibut into Juneau in several days, the Vi- vian, Capt.

BECAUSE your Juneau ' Optometrist (Eyesight Specialist) is here the year round and MUST make good every claim. BECAUSE your glasses require occas- ional adjustment and this expert serv- ice MUST be done by a resident Op- tometrist. BECAUSE quality for quality, you pay no more than you would from any legitimate (non bait-advertising) out- side practitioner, BECAUSE your local Optometrist is equipped with the latest and most scientific eye examining instruments, such as are found in the best optom- etric establishments in the states; ‘in- struments that CANNOT be carted around from place to place; which means that in patronizing your local Optometrist you are assured of a thor- ough and scientific examination, as well as the necessary AFTER care. BECAUSE no Optometrist that has ever visited Alaska during our thirteen years residence in the Territory, could produce credentials from as fine and reputable an Optometric College as your local Optometrist. BECAUSE Cross Eyes CANNOT be straightened by giasses only. They need corrective exercises to develop fusion and binocular coordination, and such exercises can only be obtained at the office of your resident Optom- etrist, who has special instruments for that particular purpose. SEVENTH —BECAUSE many cases of progressive MYOPIA (near sightednéss) need be and can be checked and.reduced by proper exercises for which your resi- dent Optometrist has the needed in- struments. AND LASTLY BECAUSE your local Optometrist needs your business in order to make possible that you have a competent gpecialist in this line in your commun- ity at all times. in Ludwig Nelson’s Jewelry Store PHONE 331-2 rings
