HIGH COST COAL
IN BRITAIN ISLE
HURTS STEEL BIZ
(Ry Associated Press')
LEEDS, England, Mar. 10.—British
steel manufacturers have found dif
ficulty in selling steel in their own
territory, India, because they have
been outbid by the Germans and Bel
gians, it was announced here by A. M.
Samuel, parliamentary secretary to the
Department for Overseas Trade, ad
dressing the Leeds Chamber of Com
merce.
The situation which brought this
about, said Mr. Samuel, was the high
price of coal. The price of steel, which
was largely dependent on the price of
coal, was so high today that it paid to
import steel from abroad. Two or
three shillings per ton off the price of
coal, he suggested, would make all
the difference to the prosperity of
British trade, and the existing high
price of coal was doing harm which
extended much farther than to the
100,000 men who were out of work
in the coal fields.
Mr. Samuel, however, was quite op
timistic as to the future for British
trade generally. With the exception
of coal, steel and shipping, he believ
ed that the clouds of trade were
breaking, and that there would be a
reawakening of prosperity for all. and
particularly the workingman. With
about 1,250.000 men unemployed there
was much misery, but through the
whole policy of existing government
ran the motive of getting the people
back to work. He could see in trade
today a greater spirit of confidence.
REAL MONTE CARLO SEEN
### ### ###
IN “ENEMIES OF WOMEN”
Cosmopolitan Sent Entire Com
pany There and ‘Shots’ In
clude Gaming Resort
and the City.
Wherever men and women love to
flirt with the goddess of chance, the
name Monte Carlo is one to conjure
with. Famed the world over as the
most fashionable gambling resort in
existence. Monte Carlo is to most
Americans, however, just a name.
Few persons in this country, out
side the wealthy classes, have been
privileged to come into actual con
tact with this famous old world
playground. Not even in motion pic
tures during the last seven years
have they been privileged to see
Monte Carlo in anything but replica.
In “The Enemies of Women,” Cos
mopolitan Productions’ new super
feature at the Liberty theatre to
ight the public will have Ihe oppor
tunity to see on the screen what are
said to be the most striking scenes
ever made o this world-famous re
sort. In the popular romance by
Vicente Blasco Ibanez, Monte Carlo
and its renowned Casino play a pro
minent part. For this reason Cos
mopolitan Productions sent the en
tire company making the picture to
the resort to get the last touch in
atmosphere. It was not until Ibanez
himself had arranged matters with
the authorities at the Casino, how
ever, that “shots” of it could be
made. The resultant scenes of Monte
Carlo with its Casino and beautiful
Terrace are said to be the most
beautiful in detail that have ever
been photographed.
Monte Carlo, which is situated in
Monaco, the smallest principality in
the world, is believed by many to be
most picturesque spot along the
beautiful Riviera. The scenery is
incomparable for its beauty, includ
ing steep mountain heights, winding
roads and a gorgeous view of the
Mediterranean which Monte Carlo
overlooks. Despite its natural beau
ty, however, Monte Carlo owes most
of its fame to the fickle wheel ol
chance. The largest in any place
in the world, and anyone may “try
his luck” there except the natives
of Monaco, who are forbidden tc
play. The town of Monte Carlo it
self was founded in 1156, and the
Casino has been utilized as a gam
ing resort since its foundation ir
1861, at which time it was leasee
for fifty years to a Francois Blanc
Later its control passed to a joini
stock company which now operates
it and which has obtained an exten
sion of its concessions to 1947.

WARRANT FOR ARREST OF
OSBORNE WOOD RECALLED
VALENCIA, Spain, Mar. 9.—A war
rant for the arrest of Osborne Wood I
was issued here on complaint of Ca
sino proprietors at Biarritz, for the
passing of worthless checks. When
the Spanish authorities searched for
Wood he could not be found. However
the warrant was soon withdrawn when
some unknown person paid his debts
at Biarritz. Shortly after his arrival
here he sent a very affectionate ca
blegram to his wife in New York, de
claring that he was going to sue for
divorce.
Before John Simmett, an old play
er, died at Orpington, England, he
requested that a football game be
played during his funeral. As he
was being buried, cheering crowds
watched the game in an adjoining
field..
When a photographer forgot his j
plates, a swell wedding in New York j
was delayed an hour, so that a pic- j
ture of the event could be taken.

AN EMPIRE BUILDER
As all railroads in years gone by have been the greatest
contributing factors in development of the regions through
which they passed, so also is THE ALASKA RAILROAD each
day accomplishing much towards the building of an empire.
In place of the old, tremendously expensive and inconve
nient methods of transporting supplies of whatever character
over rough trails from the coast, there is now a modern rail
road that carries supplies and equipment in greater quantities
to and from the Interior, and along the way, in much less
time and at far less expense than was formerly required.
This great steel highway offering regular twice weekly
freight and passenger service between Seward, Anchorage
and Fairbanks; and tri-weekly mixed service over the
Chickaloon and Chatanika branches, is at your service. For
further information write
