Cacole Lom- bard and Constance Bennett have won new prestige for their clown- ing. Many of the first-rank stars, who formerly disdained such horseplay as made Mabel Normand and others famous in the days of Mack Sennett, are now seeking comedy roles and prospects for the coming season indicate that Hollywood will be wooing the e i Hollywood is reviving the art of slapstick. Success of such comedies Public Welfare Must Have Age of _A_pplicants Alaska Gam e Commission Proves Good Assistance at Present Time | The Alaska Old Age Assistance LDlvision of the Department of Pub- |lic Welfare is using trapping, hunt- ling, and fishing licenses issued by the Alaska t=ame Commission prior to April, 1937, in attempting to prove age of applicants. The Alaska law requires that all recipients be 65 years of age or over. Proof is re- quired and birth certificates are rare, vital statistics were generally recorded only in the larger cities and some few of the eastern statés 65 rs ago. Usually church rec- ords giving the date of birth are available for those who were bap- tized or who were rf tered in aj church. Family Bibles are also help- ful. 4 The Department of Public Wel- fare has been finding information recorded on trapping, hunting and fishing licenses of great value in proving age, and the Alaska Game Commission has been cooperating with the De tment in tracing many of these records over a period of years, therefore helping to es- tabish the age of many applicants in the Territory. | > i This work would be greatly fa- cilitated and grants could be made 'much sooner if applicants would |be careful to record the exact year or years in which they received| |licenses from the Game Commission, | as well as indicating the kind of| |licenses that were issued. Other types of documents found invalua- ble are homestead records, marriage records, steamboat licenses and sim- ilar records. (Al oclock.
