SLIT SKIRT RECEIVES Sane
TION OF HEALTH SERVICE

WASHINGTON, D c., Oct. 23.-
The slit skirt and flimsy gown to-
day received the official sanction of
the United States public health SER
vice. Chilling winds and cold wintry
blasts will not bar the latest modes
because people, mostly women, are
inclined to wear too many clothes in
winter anyway, according to Assist
ant Surgeon General Rucker.
"To prevent winter colds, influenza
and kindred ailments dress warmly
and comfortably but don't overload
your body with heavy garments"
said he. "This, of course, does not
apply to overcoats and outer gar
ments. Dress according to your par
ticular climate.
"Slit skirts and diaphanous gowns
are not menaces to health in cold
weather. On the contrary, the wom-
an who wears the present day styles
will be less liable to catch cold than
the woman who crowds her body with
heavy woolens from the first chilly
day. Persons who are not in the
open air during the day should es-
pecially guard against heavy under
wear in cold weather but should be
careful when outside. Cold feet are
always dangerous. The open window
bedchamber, no matter how cold it is,
is always a foe to colds and pneu-
monia.

frage has been won it has been won
as the result of peaceful propaganda.
| need only mention the countries
which have already enfranchised their
women. New Zealand, Australia,
Norway, Finland, ten states in the
United States and the territory Of
Alaska. In not one of these has the
women's victory been achieved by
violence. Women's suffrage has
passed its preliminary stages in Dem
mark, Sweden, Ireland, and gov
| ernment franchise bill to which wom-
| ems suffrage may be added by
| amendment, has recently been men
toned in the queens speech in OPEN
ing new parliament in Holland. In
one of these countries has there been
| the least trace of organized or unor-
| gaDized violence on the part of the
ADVOCATES of the cause.
In Great Britain we have large
number of suffrage societies, repre-
senting policies, parties, religious
persuasions, professions and industry
| and among all of these violence as a
G.ethod of propaganda has been mon.
| opolized by two societies in England
and one in Ireland. The National
| Union, which has developed from
small beginnings nearly half cen
tury ago is not only the largest OF
all these organizations but one of the
| most democratic institutions in the
United Kingdom. Every society is
entitled to send delegates, in proper
ton to its membership, to the gener.
al council which meets twice yeai
to decide questions Of policy and tc
elect officers Of the union.
Our methods of work are entirely
constitutional We endeavor to edu-
cate the country to sympathy with
our cause by holding meetings, can.
i vassing, conducting press campaigns
4 and organizing courses of education
\ al lectures. Side by side with our
| educational campaign we carry on the
political side of our work. Our en-
i deavor is to transform the sympathy
of the voters into political pressure
exerted on individual members OF
parliament, and on parties, in order
to maintain and increase majority
in the house of commons that is COM
mitted permanently to the principle
i of women's suffrage and that Will be
/ dependable in divisions on the sub
i ject. The latest count gives our num-
bers as $4,000 annually subscribing
members, distributed among our 449
societies. In addition to these we
have an auxiliary of non-subscribing
but pledged "Frends of Women Suf-
frage" 10000 strong-a force created
out of an adoption of the American
plan of enrolling sympathizers.
i If it had not been for the tremen-
dous activity and ceaseless education
al work carried on by the non-mili-
tant suffrage societies in the United
Kingdom, l believe that our move
ment would have been ruined, at any
rate for a generation or more, by
militancy. But we persistently ask
why the revolutionary riot and de-
! struction of few women should be
held to justify the political disfran-
chisement of the women of the world
If rule of this kind had been ap-
piled to men, not single man in any
part of the globe would today be en-
titled to the exercise of the parlia-
mentary franchise. Why apply to
women an egregiously unjust method
of exclusion, which men have never
dreamed of appropriating to them
selves.

RITCHIE AND CROSS TO MEET
IN GOTHAM NEXT TUESDAY

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-Willie Rit-
chic, lightweight champion of the
world, and Leach Cross, the New
York dentist fighter, were today be-
ginning to put the finishing touches
on their training for ten round bout
here next Tuesday. This means that
the eastern critics, as well as the
fight followers, are to be given a
chance to see Willie in what prom
ises to be real fight. Ritichie has
been panned more or less since his
fight with Freddie Welsh was called
off at Vancouver and the eastern
bugs now want to be shown. 1t is up
to Willie to show whether he is of
real championship calibre or is of the
cheese variety of which there are
large hunks to say nothing of bogs,
now operating about Manhattan.
Most any frosty morning during
the past three weeks you might have
spotted Richie hitting it up along
the roads through Central park, get
ting himself into condition for the
Cross bout He does not hold Leach
lightly, considering that Cross has a
knockout over Bud Anderson to his
credit. But he doesn't expect to run
into great deal of trouble handling
Leach.
''If he will just fight and not back
away and cover up am sure to knock
him out" said Richie. Leach is
strong for the covering up game hut
if he stands out and fights III get
him."
If Ritchie hangs one over on Cross
he may expect to have reasonably
busy winter if he cares to stay in
the east. There is Jack Britton and
Johnny Lore to draw on for fights.
Richie declares he is willing to meet
Freddie Welsh at any time. He may
be accommodated here if the going
gets good. A word from Welsh and
a half dozen fight managers would
be in scramble to sign up such q
bout, providing Willie shows some
thing more than pair of arms, legs
and title. The title sounds good
but New York fight fans are begin
ming to demand little fight on the
side.

Cordova, September 2


 There has been considerable talk in this locality over the necessity for the appointment of a new United States commissioner and recorder for the White river district, which includes the new gold diggigns. The matter was brought to the attention of Judge Brown some days ago and the report comes from Valdez that he has offered the position to his friend George Love, who is said to be undecided as to whether he want ed to go to the Chisana country. Grant Reed, who recently returned from the interior is willing to accept the office and a petition in his behalf is now circulating about Cordova. One or two others from this town have also been urged for the place. It is stated that friends of A. c. Baldwin have indicated their will ingness to recommend him for the position. He has been in charge of triangulation for the Alaska Boun- dary survey party that has been working between Mt. St. Elias and Mt Natazhat. A week ago he started from Mccarthy in company with Ross J. Kenney, one of the Alaska Road Commission men, for the new diggings. He went to assist MT. Kenney in determining the most feasible winter trail to the interior, and will return within a week or two.
 In anticipation of the near change in the office of the United States marshal for this division there is considerable discussion of deputies in the various towns. In Cordova four names are being talked of as aspirants for positions either at this town or some other precinct. They are the present incumbent, s. J. Brightwell, Chief of Police A. J. Henneke, Tom Price and Nels Smith. It is expected that petitions will soon be circulated in favor of some of the men aforementioned, although it is said that MT. Price has not fully determined that he will apply to Marshal Brenneman for the position.
