Wires and Wireless in AIask,

A complete wireless telegraph sys-
tenn. connecting every military post in
Alaska and making commercial COM
munication possible between San Fran
cisco and small boats plying on the
Yukon, Is planned by the United States
government. So writes Sangs Craig
hill in the Technical World Magazine
for February. This work Is being done
by h army forces of the signal corps.
The work has been rapidly progressing
during h past summer and 1t Is even
now nearly completed.
Important work is also being done
with a view to perfecting the cable.
telegraph and telephone systems be-
tween the mainland Of the United
States and Alaskan points. All OF
these Inc are to be duplicated, or
doubled, in order to insure service
through the long winter months which
prevail in this far northern region.
Heretofore II one of the single lines
became disabled communication be-
tween the points 1t spanned remained
cut off until summer came before the
repairs could be made. An accident Of
this kind on the main cable would put
1t out of commission n consequently
all communication between the United
States and the army in Alaska would
be cut off completely maybe for the
entire winter. This is what the gov
eminent is guarding against In doub-
ling it's lines.
The government now owns 1856 miles
of land cable and wireless systems in
and about Alaska. These lines are all
under the control of the army signal
corps. The military cable and teIe-
graph system from Seattle to Alaska.
consists of 1854 miles of submarine
cable, 1,403 miles Of land telegraph and
107 miles of wireless. These lines are
nov being rapidly extended, and the
systems comprise elements not else
where combined, the submarine, land
and wireless sections being worked as
q component and harmonious whole.
Further details of the Installation OF
wires and wireless among the SHOWS is
given by the author with fine photo
graphs illustrating the text.

CLOTHES OF THE
COMING SEASON TO
CLING TO FIGURE
An interesting Talk on New
Materials for Spring and
Summer Garments.

Materials are a very interesting sub
iect In the spring, for everyone has a
Btiffened Idea Of what is becoming, and
9ne woman loves linen, where another
Will wear only pique.
It is an axiom to govern the clothes
Of the coming seaso that all dresses
must cling to the figure. No stifiy
starched ginghams this year and those
gowns hat are of cotton must be cut
In scanty ways. w..
The summer girl must have q suit,
and the newest and best material is the
mirage silk. This is or the same order
az the once familiar pongee, but the
new material has none OF those coarse
loose threads, and 1t sheds dust like
cotton.
Two OF more linen dresses are a ne
oessity, and II Is yet too early to say
exactly how these will be made. How
ever. all those made In Paris are striped
and trimmed with bands of the same,
with the stripes running at right angles
to h length. Then, too. they are all
made in one piece, with body pleats
from shoulder to hem, and some have
h waist outlined with linen of a solid
color to match the stripes in the dress.
For afternoon wear, messaline or
IONS silky stun is pretty, or the cotton
wolfe will make the most charming
costume with lace yoke and under
sleeves. Then a natural colored chiffon
wolfe is the prettiest, softest thing pos
sible, m 1t washes like q rag. It is
not absolutely imperative that 1t, like
wool and silk wolfe. should be made up
over silk. 1t may be treated Just like
any other cotton material and worn
over dainty lingerie.
II a lawn dress is preferred, dotted
swiss may be used for trimming. It
makes the most charming effect when
used, for bands and yoke.
Evening dresses are Of messaline or
hiet net, embroidered with heavy silk
floss or wood fiber. This aforementioned
novelty, by the way, is rather neglect
ed, but 1t does not ravel like silk, and
Is far sitter and easier to darn into the
net.
For a house dress to be worn on cool
days silk wolfe has no rival, and It may
be turned into a suit by wearing a tat
feta coat made in the same color.
Dresses for house, afternoon and even
Ing wear are all made to touch the
ground his season, and the ungraceful
short dancing frock is a thing OF the
past. Embroidery and French knots
may be used on any material. but lace
Is returning to popularity in the shape
Of fichus and mousquetaire shirrs.
The slim girl will do we'll to make
her short dress with two fiat box pleats
In the back which run UP above the
waistline, giving the dress a seeming
empire effect. In front all gowns are
finished in a straight line around the
waist.

BRAIN POWER

Increased by Proper Feeding.
A lady writer who not only has done
good literary work, but reared a family,
found In Grape Nuts the ideal food for
brain work and to develop healthy
children. She writes -

Grape-Nuts as a regular diet. l former

nuts or anything I happened to find.
Being q writer, at times my head felt
heavy and my brain asleep.

eating 1t every morning. also gave it TO

NEW EMsRoIpERIEs.

Every garment that a woman and child
wears is, or should be, embroidered, IL
n follows the fashion OF the hour.
This pretty custom of using handwork
upon garments has taken a firm hold upon
the women Of America.
The detail of the embroideries used Is
so simple that any woman can do salts
factory work with little experience In ar
tistic needlework.
; Shadow embroidery In universally USED
on all sorts of thin material, both In
white and %colors, but his does mo- mean
that French and eyelet embroideriss are

HINTS ON HOW
TO LOOK SLIM.

If you wish to look slim do not
clothes.
Stripes are more becoming than
may be worn.
Short skirts are becoming. but
flowing d~raperies. on the other
hand, give grace.
A long central line Of trimming
from throat to hem adds a GER
tain height; so does a single dounce
at the bottom of a skirt.
Many frills should be avoided.
A tight fitting gown is never he
coming to a stout figure. Wear
something which has a s%oftening
effect, and 1t will be far more be-
coming II n Is inclined to be
stout.
