PACIFIC COAST DEFENSE
(Seattle Post-Intelligencer)
With Congress stirring under th»
goading of Pacific Coast Chambers
of Commerce every thoughtful res
ident of the Puget Sound area
should lend aggressive support to
the drive to obtain adequate de
fenses-for Ahts^area:
California delegations in Con
gres have responded to the plea.
Washington's senators and repre
sentatives should quickly get be
hind the movement.
Representative Florence P
Kahn of California described the
situation all the more aggravated
by uncertainties that have recent
ly risen in the Orient, when she
said::
"The people of the Pacific Coast
would be stunned if the real condi
tion of ouf defenses were disclos
ed. The facilities are not pitiably
Inadequate, but a good deal of the
| equipment, particularly guns. is
| archaic, and would be of little
I help in event of invasion.”
The condition that is apparent
to all residents of this area is suf
ficiently alarming to arouse fears
that this frontier on the Pacific
arena is a forgotten outpost.
The fleet is in Asiatic waters,
air defenses are negligible, what
coast defense guns there are, are
utterly impotent, forts are ghost
villages, and Bremerton Navy
Yard, one of the vital units In na
val operations, is an open target.
The situation is apparent to all.
But if the true condition is worse,
as Representative Kahn hints, all
the more effort should be applied
t cancel the inviation to attack
such a condition represents.
The bail is rolling now in Con
gress to gain authority to give the
Pacfflfic Coast the protection it de
serve. Help it to gain momentum!

PKNC’II, MIN’EE^
(Seward Gateway)
Every mining district in Alaska i
is affected by the pencil ininer. '
those men who took Judge Wicker
sham's Interpretation of rights for ]
location of mining claims too liter- 1
ally when he said: "You can stake j
as long as your pencil holds out.''
There is no question of the Jus- .
tlce of this privilege for the pros- 1
pector, but there is a question if 1
the too energetic staking is not
standing in the way of actual de
velopment.
Naturally many prospectors be
lieve that large areas are more at
tractive to capital than small ones.
This may be true until it comes to
the question of title. A majority
of mining deals are held up by
this question of good^and sufficient
title.
ADout tne time tbe scout finds
something which he believes wMl
suit his backers, somebody tells
him the holder of the claims has'
not performed the necessary as- j
sessment work and hints that there
may be a question of title. This is
sufficient to cause any scout en
gineer to halt at once. He is not
[out looking for a lawsuit or insru
sion of- such question ihamediately
after taking over the property and
beginning to spend money.
Don’t hesitate to consult your
favoirte attorney, if you have any
doubt about your ground. Its an
excellent Investment and a tonic
for a good night’s rest.
LOVES 'EM ALL ON SCREEN;
BUT LOVES SPORTS OFF LOT
Things are ^seldom what they
seem, especially in tbe movies. Not
only are the "sets” generally made
'of scaffolding covered with com
position boartl and tinted plaster
but the players themselves bear
hat little resemblance In real life
to their screen portrayals.
Similarly, Victor McLaglen, who
portrays, boisterous army ser
geants and swashbuckling cap
tains, is almost the exact opposite
of all this in his own home life.
Not but what Victor has been plac.
es and done things, for he has a
box full of medals for his military
and puglistic prowess in the past,
but his belligerent ways are reserv
ed entirely for the camera.
Quiet, studious, inherently polite
and courteous in his manner and I
even shy when it comes to meeting '
strange women,, McL>aglen is quite
the contrary of the characters he
portrays on celluloid. An avid read
er, especially of travel books, a
more than average Chess player,
a lover of music, of horses
dogs, an excellent swimmer, golfer
and cook (he insists on doing all
the culinary work on his frequent
trips into the mountains.) an ar
dent motorist, a keen prize-fight
and wrestling fan, McLaglen is a
typical “man's man.’’
In his latest Fox Movietone ve
hicle, "A Devil With Women,’’
which open its engagement at the
Dream Theatre tonightt Mc
Daglen again resorts to khaki,
and portrays the role of an adven
turous and somewhat fickle sol
dier of fortune whose sword is
any country’s for the asking and
whose heart Is any dame’s at the
least encouragement. And he gets
lots of encouragement, especially
from Mona Maris. Luana Alcanls
and Mona Rico, who essay the
leading feminine roles, and also
plenty of opposition fom Humph
rey Bogart, who in his chaarc
ter of an American tourist is no
slouch with the ladies.
