Was Mary Pickford’s face
white the other day when
she tried evcry-which-way,
and failed, to be part of the
Mayfair Club Ball, highest
social function of the film
colony.
The hitch in Miss Pick
ford’s plans came about
through an oversight, a mat
ter of neglecting to pay her
dues. She would have
been more than glad, she
said at the entrance door,
to fill out a check. But the
attendant declined it. The
annual fee is $10.

cardiac trimmings that go
to make walloping enter

as pure as they are beauti
ful and the leading men arc
heroes, as anyone can see
by their shirts thrown op

“In the winter they live
in their tents, but build a
snow wall around it, and
about three or four feet
away from its walls, as a
windbreak and for warmth,
“Why don’t they build
the snow wall against the
sides of the tent? Because
snow drifts and if the wall
were against the tent, the
snow would drift on top of
the tent and soon bury it.
Building Ihe walls three or
four feet away leaves a saf
ety margin for drifting
snow.”
Wien said he is anxious J
to get back in harness—par ]
aehute harness in his ease, ]
for he's been flying in Al- j
aska since 1924. He said j

the only regular commer
cial pilot in all Alaska, he
said.
‘Today there are 30 or 40
flyers in Fairbanks, Anchor
age and Nome, alone—all
after the business and all
cutting rates to get it.” 1
Much of the business, par '
ticularly in winter, is air
freight — carrying every
thing from dredge parts
and mine machinery to
needles, pins and gre ’ling
cards.
Wien said he made the
first Fail banks-to-Nome
flight. It is a bbO-mile jour
ne"v that usid to ta’- e three
months and cost $7b0 by
dog team. Today you can
fly it iii five hours to:' a
•SI00 fare.
Wien was also one of the
first to fly across Bering
Sea between Siberia and
Alaska. His friend. Carl
Ben Eielson, who made a
few short commercial
flights before Wien went
North, was lost on one
flight to Siberia.
Wien recalled that after;
Eielson went out of com-1
m’ercial flying, Wien wasj:
the only commercial pilot
in Alaska in 1924 and 1925.
Wien preceded his friend
and business competitor,
Joe Crosson, in Alaska fly
ing by about a year and a
half, he said.
“It’s a great business. Ev- j
eryone’s alter it and cut- j
ting rates to get it. And j
it's a lot different than the I
old days when there were- !
n’t any landing fields, em- -
ergency or otherwise. I’m »

Wien concluded.
