RACE SUICIDE WHERE
WOMEN RULE ISLAND

SEATTLE. Wash, Oct. ia suf-
fragist paradise has been discovered
in a far-off Alaskan isle. Here the
wife and mother rules the household,
according to l.. l.. Bales, old-time
hunter and guide. who learned the
facts while taking the census of the
isle.
Nunivak Islsnd., a low, marshy DIT
of land lying in Bering Sea Just on
the Alaska coast. between the mouth
of the Yukon and the KuskokTim
rivers. is the home Of the female
rulers.
The population of the island is lIO
souls The men outnumber the wo-
men Children are a rarity. This
low birth rate is believed to be
caused by the powerful command the
women have over all domestic mat
ters, which seem to have the effect
of disturbing the functions OF the
mother. In the last 10 years, ac-
cording to the enumerator. there have
been only 20 weddings and only seven
children have been born in that time
He predicts that in another 10 years
the last trace lof the older generations
of this and many other natives tribes
in Alaska will be wiped out from de
generation and race suicide, brought
about by the predominating influence
the women have over the men

These bonds, which will
be ready for the public as soon as
the postal savings system is inaugu-
rated. will mark the beginning Of
reform in the general style of de-
signing of not only the United States
bonds, but possibly the checks and

Of milkmaids leaning upon sheaves Of

have approved the designs for the
coupon and registered bonds of the
three denominations mentioned, but
while the law contemplates the issue
Of similar ones of the denominations
of $40, $50, $50. these are not contem-
plated at present as they are only
multiples of twenty and can be easily
met by the three styles.
The bonds are TO be smaller than
any others the Government has ever
issued and the coupon bond with all
of its forty coupons, prepared foI
semi-annual payments for twenty
years, is to be not much larger than
the ordinary registered bond of the
United States The cumbrous en-
bellishments of scroll work, leaves

the lettering is to be clear, distinct

Treasury officials expect that there
will be a large demand for the bonds

bonds, will pay only two per cent. fiat

MAKING NEW SKIRT
OF OLD ONE EASY

The plated skirt, with plaits sewed
Just below the hip line, may be made
over by sewing the plaits down nearlN
to the knees and putting a trimming
band straight around just about the
knees. Take out any extra fullness
in the skirt to bring 1t to required
width
Now is the time to get out last
years garments and make them over.
A woman who had a plated white
wool skirt and a plated brown skirt
made two up-to-date skirts from them.
Having none Of the material of the
skirts left she bought pretty trim
ming band to match and sewed 1t IN
place.
There was no bulging look which
sometimes marks the made-over gar
ment. The skirts we're new IN cui.
The band On the bottom of the skirt
affords a most excellent opportunity
to use a last years gown which Is
otherwise a little out Of date.
