To suit a long, narrow face the

and it is always best to show a
coil or so from the side behind:
the ears; also endeavor to fill up
the nape of the neck as much as
possible.
For asharp- featured face al
ways avoid dressing the hair

ings are becoming, and can be
taken we'll down the neck.
For broad face narrow dress
ings are preferable, but should
be kept somewhat high.
Exceedingly tall people should
keep the hair dressed rather low
and decidedly round.
Very short women should have
their hair dressed high, as il
gives addition to their stature.
1t is very rarely that we find
purely white hair; it is usually
a gray white, and with this latter
no colors are suitable as dark
greens, browns, ambers, purple

An Emergency War Measure Is Very

WASHINGTON, April 2O-The house
PASSED an emergency war measure, the bill
empowering the president to call out the
volunteer forces and providing for their
organization. Both the president and Sec
retary Alger had urged the imperative ne
cessity of the passing of the bill today,
and Chairman Hull of the military COM
mittee drove it under whip and spur. The
bill was drafted at the war department.
introduced in the house yesterday AMI
considered and reported by the committee
today. No such expedition could have
been possible except under the stress of
war pressure. The bill Is permanent in
its character. The principal change made
in the bill as introduced was that the ap-
rointments OF all regimental officers are to
be made by the governors of the states. in
stead OF by the president, as was proposed
originally by the war department. This
action conforms to the practice of the
civil war.

can imagine what kind Of an atmosphere
there is in there. They all sleep with feet
towards the fire, men, women and chill

mating and such things to sell and all
wanted tobacco.
Sunday night we anchored near where
the Corona went on the rocks, and as we
came by in the morning we could see her.
They are raising her and the whole stern

On Monday morning we made Fort
Wrangel, which is a thriving place, where
one starting in some kind of business
might do we'll. That is the starting point
for the Stickeen river. AS we were begin
ming to get short of meat, the steward
went ashore and got eight deer. Just be-
fore dark we ran through the Wrangel
narrows, which is the most dangerous
place on the route, being very narrow and
crooked and in some places not more than
200 yards wide.
Boats can only go through with the
tide, as the current is very swift we got
through about dark. and as 1t was bright
moonlight and good channel the cap
tain decided to run all night, so every one
went to his berth feeling easy. About 3
o'clock every one was awakened by ter
rible humping and grinding, the boat
lurching from side to side. Everybody be-
lieved we were on a rock and there was
a general stampede for the deck. The f1rxt
mate called every one on deck and began
blowing a distress signal. The captain or

Two days afterward we got our things
ashore at Dyea. There were eleven of us
who went in together and got our camp
outfits hauled to a good camping place a
mile and half above the town. The wharf
is two or three miles from the town. We
had to pay $3.50 a ton wharfage. and $3.50

to camp by hand We set up our tents
on about two feet of snow, put down some
pine boughs and made our beds. 1t isn't
as cold as 1 expected to find 1t; it has
thawed every day since we came.
The streets of Dyea are crooked, and
