PWA PROJECT ENGINEER WILL BE
STATIONED NOME DURING WORK
The arrival Saturday, at Nome, of A. E. Steere, Project
Engineer for the Public Works Administration, marks one
more forward step toward securing the commencement of
rehabilitation work in Nome to place city affairs and de
partments in a state of active functioning.
Mr. Steere, comes to Nome from Washington, D. C., to
remain on the ground here until the PWA work under the
approved project, has been completed. Enroute here he
stopped at Juneau and conferred with Governor John W.
Troy and the PWA office there relative to Nome affairs.
He was sent to Nome to expedite affairs, and make it
possible for approval of engineering features, to be granted
in most things, right at Nome, thereby saving much valuable
time. His appointment to serve at Nome comes at an pro
pitious time. The special bond election takes place tomor
row and the results are to be wired immediately to Wash
ington. Following their receipt, it is understood, the loan
and grant agreement will be signed there and things will be
in order to proceed further.
Mr. Steere, it was made known, will be able to approve
of specifications, and other engineering data almost in en
tirety, although there are some things of course, which must
be mailed to Juneau and Washington, no doubt.
We may look forward to speedy attention as soon as the
proper authority is granted by Washington.

COMMENT

and France arc thinking the matter
over. The United States, Japan and
England crave to be delivered, not
from their aforetime enmies, t>ut
from their friends.
Pugilistic history is rapidly in the
making. A short time ago, Mr.
Braddock patted Mr. Baer untl those
who had the decision at their com
mand concluded that the title hold
er was outpointed. Now Louis has
laid Camera low, decisively it is
true, but still through a decision
rather than by way if a genuine
knockout. At present, the question
as to who is the best man depends
upon someone’s say-so. Probably
that is scientific, respectable and
humane, yet there are those who
recall with grim satisfaction the
July day in 1889 when John L.
Sullivan disposed of Jake Kilrain
only after a 75 round bout with
bare knuckles. Spectacles of that
sort were not pleasing from an aes
thetic standpoint, but when they
were done, nothing was left to op
inion, and even those who have no
technical interest in prize fighting
are inclined to think that “there
were giants in those days.”

Aviators’ Hate Is
Spurred In Clouds
In Fine Picture
“The Eagle and the Hawk,” the
story of two' war-time flyers who
became heroes under the stimulus
of their personal hatred for each
other, has been booked for the
Dream Theatre, where it will open
Tuesday. July 16, at 8 PM.
Fredric March and Cary Grant
play the featured roles, with Carole
Lombard and Jack Oakie at the
head of the supporting cast. The
story is by John Monk Saunders, au
thor of “Wings," and Stuart Walker
directed the production.
Match is the “eagle” of the story
—a bold, reckless pilot who flies for
the fun of it. Grant is the “hawk"
—a deadly, earnest killer, who kills
for the fun of it. As pilot and ob
server in the Royal Flying Corps,
they are an unbeatable combination.
The series of thrilling, breath-tak
ing events which follow his return
to the front bring the picture to an
unusual conclusion.
