MANIAC IN A PLANE
Ardinary hazards of flying are sufficient to keep a pilot
"fairly occupied, especially in Alaska, but Harry Ander
son of Roseville, Mich., encountered a most unusual one
which might have turned his brain to correspond with
that of his passenger.
In his ordinary routine of taking persons on airplane
flights for hire, he was engaged by one Clarence Frechett
of Detroit to make a trip to Pontiac. As they neared
their destination, Frechett seized a hammer and began
striking Anderson over the head, knocking the pilot un
conscious. After the plane had dived about 1,800 feet
Anderson recovered consciousness in time to make a very
rough landing in which both were injured, but not
seriously.
Appropriately, the landing happened to be made in
the grounds of the Pontiac insane asylum, which was a
very suitable destination for Frechett, who was raving
crazy.
The moral of this seems to be that when piloting a
plane for a stranger it would be a wise precaution to see
that he is securely shackled before taking off. Or the
pilot should wear heavy armor.
So long as mother spends $7.50 at) a beauty shop while
dad shaves himself, you can expect a condition of unrest
in the home.
Prosperity! The United States produces more than
two-thirds of the world’s oil, and three-fourths of the
world’s oil scandals.

T.HIS machine ascertains just how much out of balance a flywheel
of the new Ford car may be and then proceeds to correct that
fault, no matter how small. The operation looks simple, but it is
one of the most precise in the entire field of automobile manufacture.
The flywheel is first placed on the machine and tested for balance with
a series of spirit levels and graduated discs. The result of this test
registers automatically on a chart and a metal drill promptly drills out
of the flywheel, at the necessary point, sufficient metal to make it
balance perfectly. It is one of the many applications of precision
manufacture which make for smooth, quiet performance and long life
in the new Ford car.

Mile 2 1-2, Seward Kenai Lake highJ
way, the small bridge has been remov. i
ed creating a jump-off, or hole in the:
roadway dangerous to speeding cars'
if not seen in time. No sign was post-*
ed on the road this morning as a warn
ing to traffic but it was said the hole j
would be filled up today. In the
meantime “keep your eye” on the road
at that point; it is hardly discernable
until one is almost on top of it.
George F. Weisel, Juneau lumber
man, arrived in Seward yesterday
from the Interior. Mr. Weisel is a
guest at the Van Gilder.

SHOW TONIGHT SPELLS
EVENING FULL LAUGHS
i
An hour or more of u ^lilutec! en- j
joyment is scheduled for the patrons j
cf the Liberty Theatre this evening
The enjoyment comes marked
“Taxi! Taxi!,” a delightful farce
comedy, and it is light entertainmei1 j
of the highest type.
Edward Everett Horton, easily one j
of the most able light comedians of
the screen, has the featured role and
gives a thoroughly enjoyable char
acterization of the meek, timid
draughtsman who gets the excite
ment of a lifetime in the space of <8
hours and rises to the occasion beau
tifully.
Horton is not only a splendid come
dian, hut his characters are always
intensely human. He seems to unde’’
stand us—us meaning that great ma
jority of ordinary souls who are not
Messed with the qualities which
make us stand out above our fellows.
He is afraid of his job, afraid of Ms
boss, timid when he meets the girl—
but he manages to rise to his oppor
tunities when he time comes.
There are few serious moments in
the production. It drifts along easily
and swiftly, through a series of a
musing incidents, buildin,g all tin
time to a climax which is both higvy
amusing and totally unexpected. p /
reveal the climax—or to reveal c i '
part of the story—-would be an
injustice.
