Nome Man Returning
from First Trip States
Bert Eakan, a resident of Nome
since lie was born, 28 years ago, is
a returning passenger on the power
schooner Silver Wave which arrived
in Seward yesterday morning from i
Seattle and which sails on today’s
tide for the North. Young Eakan
says the trip out last winter on the
steamer Alameda was his first to
the Big Outside and when queried
by the reporter as to what he thot
about it all, said: “Well, it sure is
a big world, alright, and I guess I
would rather live there than in Al
aska.” The second big town he vis
ited was Tacoma, he said. This was
also his first trip to Seward, the me
tropolis of the north.

SPONSOR GLACIER TRIP
Will Meet Arriving Travelers at Sew
ard, Accompanying Them to
Interior Points
Marking another step in the ad
vancement of progress by the Alaska
Railroad in the care of tourists to
Alaska, the management has appoint
ed a special tourist agent, T. B. Mc
Grath, whose duties are to meet in
coming tourists in Seward and con
duct them to Spencer Glacier while
steamers are in port, and also to con
duct parties over the railroad, point
ing out the numerous points of inter
est and in general to assist in making
the interior journey one of interest
to the newcomer.
Mr. McGrath is particularly well
adapted for this important duty and
well versed in Alaskan lore and abso
lutely familiar with every mile of the
road. Mac, as he is called by his nu
merous friends, besides being an ex
ceptionally fine conversationalist, is
an entertainer de luxe, his services
being always sought for in entertain
! ments of all sorts at Anchorage. The
public and tourists, traveling on the
same train with Mac can look for
ward to something original in the
humorous line.
Evolution- Controversy Was
Discussed 4,000 Years Ago
PHILADELPHIA, July IS (/P)—If
Sumeria had a press agent, or even a
William Jennings Bryan, Dayton,
Tennessee would not be grabbing of:
the front pages of the country’s news
papers with its evolution trial.
For, according to six tablets sten
ciled in clay with a wooden stylus
nearly 4,000 years ago, the transla
tion of which was completed today
by Dr.. Edward Chira, assistant pro
fessor of Assyriology at the Univer
sity of Pennsylvania, the inhabitants
of the Euphrates Valley in 2000 B. C..
had much the same religious scien
tific conflict as that in progress in
this country.
In the solution of the conflict of
opinion among those ancients, so
much closer to the beginning of things
than those involved in the present
day controversy, there may be a sug
gustion to the embattled lawyers and
scientists of the Twentieth Century.
They compromised, agreeing that man
first existed as an animal that walked
on all fours and ate grass. Then the
gods stepped in and created two pa
trons—one of cereal, one of flocks.
And, through these two, man devel
oped.
DO ACTRESSES DIFFER
FROM OTHER PEOPLE?
While few of us can satisfy our
longing to try the stage, we can all
“take it apart and see what makes it
tick,” by witnessing “Chastity,” Kath
erine MacDonald’s new picture for
First National, opening tonight for
the first time at The Liberty.
A serious attempt has been %made
in this latest product of “The Ameri
can Beauty” to answer faithfully and
dramatically, the many questions
about the theater that have intrigued
popular fancy without ever being sat
isfactorily explained.
Are actresses different from other
people? Is it true that, to be success
ful, an actress must have “lived?”
These points and many more are
taken up in the story of Norma O’
Neill, who ws told that, to be a great
actress, she must first have “seen
the world.”
Norma O’Neill is played by Kath
erine MacDonald, whose many fol
lowers will be glad to hear that the
part offers the star not only an ap
portunity to be beautiful, and wear
gorgeous costumes, but to play a new
personality, radiant and full of feel
ing.
An unusually good production is
assured by the name of the director,
Victor Schertzinger, and this remark
able cast: Huntley Gordon, Edythe
Chapman, Gordon Russell, Gunnis Da
vis, Lew Mason and Frederick Trues
dell.
