T“HANDS UP” IS NOW AT COLISEUM jr_ Admirers of Raymond Griffit.1 gave the popular silk hat com edian a rousing welcome la9t night at the Coliseum Theatre where his latest comedy, “Hands Up!” began a three days’ run. This is by all odds Griffith’s fin est,. funniest and most spectacular picture to date, and reflects great ■v credit op Clarence' Badger, the director, Reginald Morris, author, and Monty Brice and Lloyd Cor rigan, scenarists. “Hands Up!” has a combined •Civil War and western background ahd this gives the inimitable Ray mond an excellent opportunity to burlescfue all the heavy war dranyns and the wide; and well-ad vertised open spaces. Needless tb say, he doesn’t miss a singl .trick, and the result ip a picture hiat provokes roarB of laughter With the rapid-fire precision of a machine gun. As a Confederate spy, sent by General Robert E. Lee to get con trol of the Union gold supply, Griffith runs into one exciting ad venture after another. Yet, de spite the fact that he is kept busy dodging Indians, battling western “bad men,” and, in gen eral, tiding to win the war single handed, he still finds time to fall In love with two—count ’em— two pretty' girls. •After many hair-raising experi ences, in which the rollicking I young soldier escapes hanging by the bat of an eyelash, he succeeds i in returning to. the Confederate i lines, only to discover thut the war is over! Rut he still has the two girls on his hands, and his surprising way of solving the tangled romance brings the pic ture to a hilarious conclusion. j’j RAILROAD MELODRAMA M COMING TO PALACE Lovers of railroad stories, an I rwho is not, will be thrilled ta within nn inch of'their lives when “The Runaway Express,” a Un' versal-Jcwel, comes to the Palace Theatre Tuesday and Wednesday. in this stirring tale, which was adapted to the screen from Fran': Spearman's “The Nerve of Foley,’ Director Edward Sedgwick ha; captured and immortalized on the screen, all the romance and hero ism of the railroader.

It is a case of laymen rushing n where professionals fear to read, for very few of the “cures" iffered to date have come from jhysicians in good standing or rom competent research workers, (lost of the letters declare that >uch homely household doses as alt, goosegrease, sulphur, iodine, folk of egg, raw onions or castor >11 will “positively” cure or pre •ent cancer.

Wild, I' Richardson, former President of the Alaska Hoad Commission, and which appeared in the current Atlantic Monthly. Generally the Times-.-, posi tion is sound and in agreement with the line j of thought pursued by General Richardson. In one respect, we believe it is in error, tile result of a viewpoint so influenced by the magnitude of eastern industry that it is more local than national. This is tlie Times’s conclusion as to the con ditions which will lead lo the development of Southeastern Alaska’s forest resources. In th.s connection it said: Her wood pulp will be sold in larger volume when the forests more accessible to the Atlantic seaboard are exhausted. It is not competition from the eastern coast of the United States and Canada which impedes the development of Alaskan forests. It is more than possible that none of Alaska’s wood pulp and manufactured paper products will ever come into the markets now generally supplied by Atlantic seaboard resources. It is not alto gether improbable that the two may compete in the markets of the Gulf Coast because Alaskan manufactories will have an all-water route avail able while those of the Atlantic strip must de pend to some extent on rail as well as water. There are markets, however, so far west or the Atlantic that under presnt day costs and at present day prices, Alaskan newsprint could be sold at a profitable figure which would leave the '■‘VdastMii branch of the industry no margin of profit. This is one of the several conditions which have encouraged the United States Forest Service in its promotion program and made it possible for it to interest Pacific Coast capital in Alaskan timber areas and waterpowers. Exhaustion of the forests of the Atlantic sen hoard would, of course, lead inevitably to east ern capital, now interested there in paper manu facturing, turning its attention to Alaska. Once its source of Investment in the familiar regions of New England and Eastern Canada is exhaust ed, naturally it will become interested in virgin fields, if there are any left. But it is a grave question whether Southeastern Alaska will longer be a virgin field when that occuts. Long before that time, if Pacific Coast interests are as wise v os^they are credited with being, Alaskan timber aild waterpower sites will be tied up with long term leases at terms that will then seem so ad vantageous that some of the larger Eastern in terests. foresighted though they claim to be. will be astonished that they passed by such oppor tunities. Timber for wood pulp in Canada and the United Sta Is not inexhaustible. Experts al ready can estimate with a fair degree of ac curacy how many years it will supply the de mands of an ever growing publishing business. There are few spots anywhere that naiural growth will replace the stands so rapidly and with so little expense to private capital or lie Government as in Alaska. That is one of tin most highly attractive inducements to interests which have been sufficiently awake to investi gate this Held. Other opportunities being equal, it alone would justify investments in Alaskan newsprint manufacturing enterprises in prefer ence to fields having timber of similar quality, in proportionate quantity and »so accessible to logging, witli waterpower resources as conven iently situated and capable of just as economic development ns in this part of Alaska. PUBLIC SCHOOLS’ INVESTMENT. The investment in property employed by the public* schools of the nation is appraised at the stupendous total or 1.252,000.000 iu an an nouncement made by the United States Bureau of Education. This includes sites and buildings as well as furniture and equipment. The invest ment is approximately $173 for each student enrolled. New York ranks first as was to be expected, but it is much further ahead of its nearest com petitor, Pennsylvania, than the difference iu population would indicate. The former State has a pubic school properly investment of $566. 000,000 as compared to $384,000,000 for the lat ter. Illinois is third with $293,000,000 and Cali fornia follows closely iu fourth place with $287, 000,000. The State having tile smallest invest ment is Nevada with $5,000,000, following Dela ware which has $6,000,000. I CURING CANCER BY HEAT. A possible cure for cancerous growth by heat is suggested by Dr. George Walker, associate in i surgery at Johns Hopkius University Medical Wl School, eastern papers announce. He is con K vlnced that such tissues are completely destroyed it subjected to bqdy temperature of 111V4 degrees jp^brenheit for half an hour. As the human body cannot be subjected to temperature that high for the required period of time Dr. Walker is now conducting tests to see If ways and means can be found to build up bodily resistance to a point where 111 Vi degrees will not be fatal. The highest temperature which humans are known to have endured is 109 or 110 degrees. If it is possible to discover a means of building them up so that the body can withstand two or more additional degrees for 30 minutes, Dr. Walker believes that the complete destruction of cancer throughout the system will have been achieved. Experiments on rats have been made by Dr. Walker for sometime. These are said to have been uniformly successful. The Senate having decided that Senator-elect Frank Smith does not come up to specifica tions, should have the graciousness to formulate a new set of requirements for the convenience of the Illinois electorate before unother election shall come around. Reports say William S. Vare may resign "as the duly elected Senator” from Pennsylvania to forestall probable rejection by tile Senate. As the Senate has not yet determined he was duly elected, how can lie do that? “Say it with lead.” seems to have been the g n of the Portland bank cashier who greeted tv hank robbers with rifle fire instead of up T' others adopted it, bank hold The Truth About Alaska.

Colonel Richardson makes a plea for less bom bast and more understanding. “The American people have been led to believe that the purchase of Alaska front Russia was a great business bar gain." be no1es. It is true that the original purchase price was only $7,200,000. Congress men often allow their imagination to play with Unit incident to the exclusion of the equally historic fact that the United States has in the interval expend ’d some $200,000,000 on I he Ter ritory, with no commensurate return yet in in dustry or population. There are only about 30, 000 whit” residents in the Territory today, and they have been dwindling. Colonel Richardson contrasts this “bargain” with the Louisiana Pur chase, whi cost $27,000,000, and today supports 21,000,000 people, with nil estimated wealth of more than $00,000,000,000. Colonel Richardson believes that Alaska has suffered directly from over-enthusiasm, whether born of romance or commercial propaganda. Ex aggerated statements of its wealth and opportuni ties led, among other things, to the launching of the Government railroad, that Great White Elephant of the North. To its exactions Governor Parks pays unconscious tribute when, in the course of Ills latest annual report, he remarks that "for the first time in the history of the pro ject the deficiency for operation was less thau $1,000,000." When the Territory did not grow as fast as they had expected, the enthusiasts blamed the conservationists and the politicians. They Haul that Gifford Plnehot and his friends were trying to "lock up” the resources of the Territory, and that the bureaucrats at Washing ton had its progress tied in red tape. "Develop Alaska" became the popular slogan, which found a champion in Secretary Kail. In fact, President Harding himself, when he set out on his visit to the Territory in 1923, leaned toward accept ance of that doctrine. He learned better. He saw with his own eyes that what was holding the Territory back was not so much either extreme consevation policies or Government neglect, but inexorable economic law: the exhaustion of the placer mines, world-wide shift in the value of the gold which was the Territory's great mineral resource, high labor costs. Economists, too, have shown the difficulty of establishing a permanent civilization on the precious metals alone. Alaska suffers from what they would call an aggravated ease of mar ginal utility. Her oil will be exploited when other supplies are low; her wood pulp will lie sold In larger volume when the forests more ac cessible to the Atlantic seaboard are exhausted: her reindeer will come into the market in larger quantities when conditions allow of more profit able competition. She will come Into her own ‘some day, but only with the march of natural economic law.

It speaks well ii the development of the Territory as a whole that its commerce is on the increase. Colonel Richardson advocates a larger measure of home-rule, and he thinks that there is still room for relaxation of various hampering re strictions. But he is penetrating enough to see that the Territory's material resources do not stand alone. “Scenery is Alaska’s one im perishable asset,’’ he writes, and what man or woman who has traversed the inland passage or seen Mount McKinley rise like a sovereign out of the clouds will choose to disagree with him?

VOSBURGH (Feature Service Sports Editor) NEW YORK, Jan. 23—Ameri ca's efforts to .retain the track and field supremacy of the world in the Olympics next summer de spite the Nurmis, Wides and Pelt zers of Europe have begun to tho tune of Lloyd Hahn’s pounding feet. This sturdy Nebraska middle distance star who runs under the colors of the Boston A. A. Is starr ing in on the indoor boards whore he left off last spring with two world records and a victory over the Swedish sensation, Edvin Wide, to his credit. In his first start at New York recently, Hahn sped a half-mile in 1:53 4-5, missing a world record only because tho track was not marked off in accordance with the rules. His participation in the annual series of indoor athletic carnivals in the east this winter is part of a well-laid campaign which began in his home town of Falls City, Neb., and may end at the flnlsn line or the sun or 1,600 met :r event or both at Amsterdam, Holland. Trained Carefully After his spectacular perform unces of last winter, Hahn retir ed to his Nebraska home to awiut the coming of the present indoor season. There ho contented him self with keeping in condition. AVith the coming of cold weather he turned east and after tuning up for a few weeks in Boston an nounced himself ready for a fair ly active indoor season. If Hahn can beat off the young er generation of American chal lengers and regain his Olympic berth, he hopes to do consider ably better in the games at Am sterdam than he did at Paris m 1924. In the 1,500 meter event there which Nurmi won Hahn could finish no better than sixth. Nurmi then was at the top of his career, Winning four first places. Ilia nlhar linnri. come a long way since then, mak ing his greatest achievements in doors. in 1925 he surpassed Nur mi’s indoor record for a mile in a rate in New York, set a world's record of 3:55 4-5 for 1,500 meters indoors at Washington; and clip ped 2-5 of a second off Nurmi’s mark for the three-quarter mile run. Last winter he set new world’s, records for the 1,000 yards and 1,000 meters events and de feated Wide by four yards in a mile race in which he came with in a fifth of a second of ths world’s record. Best on Boards If the Olympic events were run on boards, Hahn probably could make any of the Europeans step including Peltzer at his own fav orite distance of a half-mile an-1 Nurmi at 1,500 meters. Should Hahn come up to expjc tations outdoors, there is a strong possibility he might be given double duty in the 800 and 1.500 meter events with the probable task of beating Peltzer in the one and Nurmi in the other. Theje events have been a favorite double-up in Olympic history. Mel Shepard, now engaged in efforts to produce American distance run ners who can beat the Finm, achieved victories In both in 1908.

FIND OLD FLINT LOCK FORGOTTEN BY PIONEER LAS CRUCES, N. M.. Jan. 23— An antique flint lock rifle, left leaning against a stone in the Ca billo mountains by an absent minded frontiersman, has bean found by cattlemen during the an nual roundup in the mountains. The gun was found standing against a rock where it had evi dently been since its pioneer own er walked away nearly a century ago. The maker’s name is stamped on the lock, and inquiries have revealed that the gun was made in about 1810. It is surmised that the gun came into New Mexico over the Santa Fe trail in the late twenties, about the time thn Santa Fe trade was opened, or it may have belonged to trappers who came into the mountain ter- rltory under the Patties in 1824 and with Ccran St. Vrain in 182»> to catch beaver on the Rio Grand-j the Gila and the Colorado rivers.
