Any- one that says I am, I will challenge to a game of swat ball Without the ball. I had heard so much abcut the tremendous stakes in the poker games of the construction camps in Alaska that I just couldn't stop the urge to enter one. So I plunked myself down in a seat at a crowded table at one end of a smoke-filled room and tossed a hundred dollars at the banker. He tossed me a sour look and one chip. On the very first pot I got an ace in the hole. I'd have won too, but the guy across from me had a forty-five in the hole. And. it was loaded. I finally wound up in the biggest pot of the evening. I had three queens in draw poker and im- mediately raised the pot $50. Every one dropped out but an old bewhiskered gent. He raised me one hundred dollars, a dog team and twenty acres at Strawberry Flats. I raised him right back with an- other hundred, two tickets to “Gone | With the Wind” and a mortgage m a pickle farm in Georgia Eventually of course, the pot had o ke called. I tossed down my three queens. He tossed down four queens Then they tossed both of us out One of us was dead D ALASKA MINERS LEZOCIATION HAS ELECTED OFFICERS At a recent meeting of the Alaska Miners Association in Seattle the following persons were elected President, Charles J.

George Saunders again plays the title-role in the thrill film which revolves about the search for an elusivé girl, Velma. The search is precipitated by a giant escaped convict, Moose Malloy, who seeks revenge on the girl for her part in sending him to prison. Malloy murders several persons who are trying to conceal Velma from him, and both The Falcon and the police endeavor to catch the huge criminal, who proves as elusive as Velma herself. The chase leads to many a surprise, with a eirl reporter working on the case aiding The Falcon in his perilous cfforts until the climax. Lynn Bari has the feminine lead s the newspaperwoman, with Ward Bond as Moose Malloy and Helen Gilbert as Velma. James Gleason and Allen Jenkins again contribute comedy to the RKO Radio melodrama in their respec- tive roles of a police inspector and The Falcon's timid associate. Ed Gargan, Ann Revere, Selmer Jack- scn, Hans Conreid and other well- known players have supporting roles. (APY, OTTAR JOHNSON AND FAMILY ARRIVE HERE FROM SOUTH Capt.

And S$till They Come! 4 -~ THAT PENNY SHOWER, destined to put coins in circulation and to buy War Bonds for a 17-year-old Marine, has turned into a deluge.
