Wyckoff, Dis- trict Ranger of the Forest Service at Petersburg, to a new position in the Juneau headquarters investi- gating and developing small wood- using industries was announced to- day by Regional Forester B. Frank Heintzleman. The Regional Foreste “Mr. Wyckoff will be assigned the job of investigating the possibili- ties for the establishment of small wood-using industries in the Na- tional Forest section of Alaska. This is a further attempt to determine what can be done toward encour- aging the building of small indus- id: trial enterprises to give this region | more year-long employment. Many sections of the United States have a multitude of minor tiniber-using plants of various sorts, that repre- sent relatively small investments and employ only a few men each, but in the aggregate they furnish a livelihood to many persons and op- erate the greater part of the year. If material and markets can be found for similar enterprises in Alaska we might be able to deplicate these results.” Enterprises listed for investiga- tion include, among others, the greater use of red cedar for house siding and shingles, use of Alaska vellow cedar for battery separators, a display of magazines of every de- WHQ SAVED ‘RE YS CAUGHT PACIFIC COAST PREMIERE——— “FOUR FEATHERS" ———COMING SOON—— toys and boat manufacture, alder for inexpensive furniture, spruce for oars and for butter and cheese con- tainers, western hemlock for vene- tian blinds, cottonwood for dyed panels for inside finish of dwellings, spruce and hemlock seed for tree nurseries in Europe and America, peat for soil conditioning of flower nurseries, and the use of any other available forest resource that can be started, by local people with a small capital outlay | All of the information that can| |be gained in the studies will be brought to the attention of parties| who may be interested in establish- | ing plants for these new industries, | Wyckoff has had many years of | experience in Forest Service vmrk‘ in Alaska and has specialized par- ticularly in logging methods and costs, and in the production and | use of timber products.

HOLLYWOOD, Cal., Aug. 21.—Ann Sheridan is one of Holly~ wood's healthiest specimens, which is astounding when you hear about a cook she once had. The dark kitchen queen was excessively fond of fried foods and not very fond of keeping in supplies. She used lard when she had it, butter when she hadn’'t. And when she was out of both, her ingenuity was merely challenged, not defeated.

William Gargan, working with him in “The Housekeeper's Daughter,” is himself a collector of pentiiés. One day recently Gargan acquired a Lincoln copper—1906, T believe, but rare what- ever its vintage—and decided to bait his friend. He gave the penny to a studio waitress, with instructions she should let Menjou see it but demand a dollar for it. Simply buying a penny, of course, gives hio true penny-collector the thril) of the chase, and Ménjou professed no intérest in the coin al. though his eyes bulged at the sight. o “Hm-m-m,” he told the girl. “I can buy one any time—it's no fun, . . ." il For a couple of days Gargan was away from the studio.
