NO TIME FOR PARTY POLITICS

A Juneau paper urges that the com ing contest for a delegate in congress be conducted along the lines of nation sl politics. It is not likely that the suggestion will nee: with favor, nor is 1t for the best interest of the district that it should.
 The questions that separate the peo- pie of the nation into democrats and re- publicaas do not apply to the conditions that exist in Alaska at all. If party lines should be drawn men who should be working together for Alaska's ad' vancement would be working one against the othcr. There would be dt' vision where there should be union.
 With party tickets in the field strong minority with selfish purposes to serve in local matters could, by throwing it's influence to one side or the other, thwart the will of the major ity Of Alaskaus on the real issues that confront them for an indefinite time.
 A very great majority of the people of Alaska want sELF,GOVERNMENT. The surest way to get that is to make it the one great paramount issue of the coming campaign, and for those who favor it 10 stand shoulder to shoulder. Let us make sure of our American her itage. That is aquestion that concerns republicans and democrats alike, and one for which they can work in unison.

Revision of Fire Department
Rules Being Drafted

Two bills Of Importance are expected to
be presented before the next Legislature
and favorable action on both, will prob
ably be insisted on by the citizens OF
Wilmington and also Of the State. one
will provide for a State constabulary OF
about fifteen men to protect the people
living in rural sections, particularly in
Kent and Sussex counties. The other will
provide for a revision Of the laws govern
ing the Fire Department OF Wilmington.
The proposed Fire Department Bill Will
provide for chief to be elected by city
Council at salary OF $1,000 a year, and
to be retained in office as long as his
services are satisfactory. He will have
two assistants and they will be elected
by the Fire Department as at present, ex-
copt that all the companies be recognized
rs far as these officers are concerned, in
rotation. thereby doing away with COM
binations. Council viii, however, have
the power of rejecting either OF the two
officers or both, If in its judgment neither
are competent men.

Pearls the Test of Beauty

Princess Cantacuzene. formerly Miss
Julia Grant has been wearing some Of
the most Gorgeous rose coral ever seen
in this country. The beads are per-
fectly matched and carved, and are
strung on silver wire. She looks
particularly we'll in coral. and many Of
her gowns show a touch OF that color
in folds, bands and ruchings.
Unlike her handsome aunt, Mrs. Pot
ter Palmer, she does not look her best
in pearls, and though she received
glorious ones for wedding gifts she
seldom wears them. jewelers. say few
women can wear pearls with effect and
their test is that If a woman looks her
best arrayed in them she is indeed a
genuine beauty.
Mrs. Nicholas Longworth looks much
better in diamonds than in her famous
pearl necklace, which the Cuban Gov
ernment sent as a wedding gift, conse-
quently she does not wear it often
whereas she seldom fails TO don the
Whitelaw Reid diamond dog collar.

That rolling skating has caught the

visit to the new rink on Eleventh

Morning, afternoon and evening the
rink is well patronized by young and
old. who alike seem to derive the great
est enjoyment from the sport, aside
from the healthful exercise obtained
by skating. In the afternoon and even
ing the First Infantry Band furnishes
music for skaters. The morning and
afternoon are favorite times for begin

instructors are always present. There
win be no special night or increased

ALesson on the Gas Stove

A Lesson on the Gas Stove.
Keep all gas stops closed unless in
use. so that none OF the fuel will be
wasted and accidents from escaping
gas avoided.
The stop in the connecting pipe
must also be turned off when the range
is not in use for cooking. for no fuel
can then leak out
In lighting a burner the stop" in
the main pipe must first be turned on,
then the jet in the burners opened for
two or three seconds to allow the gas
to MI the pipes. after which the gas
must be applied.
II the burner is a double one the out
er circle is lighted first. then the stop
Of the other IS turned on, and the flame
spreads to the inner burner.
The gas should burn clear and blue.
II it is yellow and starts off with a
roar IL is burning in the air chamber
and must be turned off at once until the
gas has flowed in for a few Seconds
longer, when a match may again be
applied.
AS soon as any food comes to a boil
ing point the flame may be turned
down to at least half Of its original
strength and the liquid will continue to
bubble and cook.
In using an oven the burners should
be lighted for at least five minutes be-
fore any food is put in.

Corset Perfection

If you are physically uncon-
scious of your corset, it fits. A
woman is never so uncomfortable
as when constantly aware of her
corsets. To forget it completely
is undeniable proof of comfort.
The result OF correct design
and carefully selected materials
is the Bon Ton and Royal Wor-
cester Corsets. These corsets are
so constructed as to promote cor
set forgetfulness and Danish all
usual forms of corset discomfort.
To assist you in getting Cor
set Perfection we have arranged
after quite lot of corresponding
and at great cost, to have Miss
Milne, one of the leading New
York corset specialists, with us
for two weeks in order to explain
the fitting qualities Of these two
makes of corsets. tnaea

NeW Use of .LeweIed Pins

Jewelled safety pins. which were an
excuse all summer for the waist that
buttoned in the back, will not have to
vanish with the laundered dress, for
a new use has been discovered for
them. Milliners are pinning plumes
on the fur toques instead of sewing
them on. and as piumes upon plumes
are used this fall nothing short Of three
gold safety pins can control them.
Feather can thus be removed if the
weather is wet and the toque, the saucy
toque, is ridivivus with a bunch OF
quills or a rosette which is pinned on
as a substitute. The Frenchman's
celebrated estimate Of the spic-and-
span woman dressed to a pin" will
now hold good.
