 sportation men complain that the publicity given the volcanoes of Alaska has put fear in the hearts of the tourists, and some of them will stay at home.

The Territorial Treasurer

Gov. J. r. A. Strong today appointed Walstein G. Smith, of Katalla, Alaska, to the position of territorial treasurer under the act of the first session of the Alaska legislature approved April 30, 1913, for the term beginning July %, 1913, and ending January l, 1915, says yesterdays Empire.

Prior to that time he was, for number of years, engaged in the banking business at Bellingham and Anacortes, Washing ton. He is a first.class accountant and by his experience in the banking bus mess is thoroughly equipped for the duties of the position to which he has been appointed. He is of independent proclivities in politics and has never been active in them.
 The duties of the treasurer will be many, and one of the most important will be the organization of the office. which will entail great deal of work, which will largely devolve upon the treasurer himself, the legislature hay ing failed, through an oversight un- doubtedly, to make sufficient appro- priation for clerk hire.
 Mr. Smith is married and has two children. His official residence will be at Juneau, as provided by the act ere ating the office.

WHEN SHOPPING
BY LUCILLE DAUDET.

66V is easy enough to pay dues to
belong to some such organiza-
ton as a Consumers league"
young matron confessed to me- But
1t is hard to live up to the pledges
that you make. Now, I really believe
that all of these movements which
aim to better the conditions of the
working girl are splendid. In theory
and even in the payment of dues, 1
subscribe to all they try to accom-
plish. But when 1 am shopping, it
takes lot of moral strength to act
up to them. l see a pretty under
garment marked at a low price, and
l am just about to buy it, with the
satisfied feeling that 1 have secured
bargain. Then 1 suddenly remem-
Der to look for the label, which will
guarantee that it has been manufac-
tured under healthful conditions Alas,
the prettier the gown and the lower
the price, the more certain am 1 not
to find such an assurance. So for the
money 1 have to spend 1 must be con-
tent to buy a much palmer piece"
Naturally" 1 told her, "if you do
not pay the price somebody else has
to. 1t remains for you to decide
whether you will allow the poor
sweatshop or factory worker to pay
it for you with her ruined eyesight
or OVerWOrked system. Really, you
know it is you and I, who buy the
things manufactured, who are at bot
tom responsible for the condition of
the worker. Because the things we
find for sale are exactly those things
the manufacturer has discovered to be
the articles which satisfy our desires.
And the price on them is the highest
he finds that we will pay. 1 was once
tempted and bought a nightgown at a
bargain price without a label on it.
But 1t gave me no pleasure to look at
the extra rows of lace on it. Nor at
the carefully beaded seams. While it
made a dainty covering for me as 1
lay in bed, 1 had vivid picture of
the weary girl who sewed on it, kept
from her bed in the wee hours of the
morning to put in the fine stitches"
After all, the insanitary, poverty
stricken home of the underpaid work
er is the house that you and I built
1t is the sweatshop, in which lives the
girl, who supplies the contractor, who
can only pay her small wage, who
must make his profit from the re-
taller, who cannot live unless he salts
fies the demand of the customer. And
you and I. each of US. is that custom
er.

PREPARE FOR SUMNER
BY EDNA EGAN.

Rw% HE midsummer heat seems 10
bring light every latent skin all
ment and particularly to en-
phasize complexion defects. Perhaps
the most common aff1iction of the
summer girl is freckles. In this case
one ounce of prevention is worth two
pounds of cure and her first aid is
yelling the skin. The woman with a
tendency to freckle should never go
bare headed or bare handed, because
the more sensitive her skin, the more
deeply will the freckles be rooted For
driving, motoring and long walks, she
should add to the broad shade hat a
veil, brown or red preferred. The new
geranium or cerise colored wells
break the rays of light admirably and
are most useful for this purpose
To keep light freckles in subiec-
ton there are various homemade To-
tons, all within reach of the summer
girl. one OF these is fresh buttermilk
which should be used night and morn
ing and allowed to dry on. The hest
method of applying it is to dip an old
piece OF linen into a bowl of milk and
then pat the face with it gently. This
is equally a good remedy for tan and
sunDurn. Another homemade lotion
consists of a teaspoonfuI of horSa
radish, grated and mixed with cnn
OF sour milk. Let the mixture stand
Tor six hours and apply two or tbree
times daily. When freckIes are daeo
set. more vigorous treatment n,nst
be 1sed. Every night before retirino

FURNISHING \ HOME
How TO Select Materials and COIors
TO Advantage
BY MRS. McCUNE.

A SCHEME OF orange and brown
a for living room may be effec-
lively worked out in the follow
ing manner: Wood finish, paneling,
ceiling beams, etc., in a fiat brown,
such as walnut, Austrian oak or Elem
ish oak, wainscot five feet high OF
the brown wood and the wall above
washed with deep, rich orange col
or in calcimine. The ceiling between
the beams washed with the same col
or, two tones lighter in shade. Fur
niture upholstered with corduroy in
grayish tan or with tapestry having
brown and green foliage or other COM
binations of color that are quiet and
unobtrusive. The colors introduced in
cushions should be orange, embroid-
cred with gold, or green and gold, or
turquoise blue; in bric-a-brac, ETC.,
old brass or pewter, Japan lacquer in
brown, jade, malachite or turquoise
blue enamel.
An exquisite piece of Chinese en-
broidery once gave me the color
scheme for a living room. The body
of the piece was Of that indescribable
shade of old pink which has once been
a deep coral red, but has faded to a
soft rose, the embroidery combined,
with gold and silver threads, the COL
ors, jade, green, turquoise blue.
creamy yellow and a delicate peach
pink. My eye was so filled and es-
tranced by this delicious combination
of color tones that 1 determined to
use all of them in one room. My au-
thority was reliable, for the Chinese
are past masters in the art of color
combination. 1 decided to run the
gamut from the deepest coral red to
the palest sea shell pink as a back
ground for mosaic of the other col
ors, and I realized that 1 could bring
them all together by liberal intro
duction of gold and silver gilt.
To render the description clear
would say that by peach pink" is
meant pink which has yellow in it,
while "peachy yellow" indicates yell
low in which pink is embodied.
The walls 1 calcimined in peach
pink and the ceiling washed with
clear pale yellow; at the windows
and doors hung curtains of coral COL
ored brocade with under curtains Of
a sheer diaphanous quality of peachy-
yellow in Indian silk gauze striped
with threads of silver. The brocade
was lined with pink taffeta several
shades lighter than the outside and

of course, the one cure is cleanliness
The hair must be shampooed. rinsed
thoroughly, then dried and ventilated
in the sunlight. Never braid the hair
or dress it when it is a little damn
next to the scalp. This is the most
common cause for the sour odor.
Shake the hair in the sunlight until
it is dry to the roots Unless it is
dry and likely to break, there is real
ly no harm in washing the hair once
week in summer. Between sham
poos, moisture, perspiration and oil
can be absorbed by ventiIating the
hair at night, shaking orris root into
the scalp and brushing it out CAREFUL
ly in the morning
The juice of cucumbers is obtained
by boiling them in a little water

ture requires much shaking. After a

the thin curtains hung soft and quite
full against the window glass; A glo-
rious Ming" rug on the floor showed
dragons of strong blue and light green
on groundwork of yellow, which
changed in certain lights to cameo
pink.
The Chinese embroidery which had
suggested the color scheme, thrown
over gold divan, gave an excuse for
huddle of gold and silver embroid-
cred cushions in pink, turquoise blue
and green. A few pieces of gold fur
niture were upholstered in coral coll
ored brocade and a wide couch or seat
which ran under a group or Oriental
looking easement windows was COW
cred with rug which deepened and
strengthened the whole scheme. On
this l used also the blue and green
pillows in formal shape against the
wall. The easement windows were
hung merely with the pink and silver
gauze which was futed closely against
them. All suggestion of heaviness or
STIFFNESS was eliminated from the
room by the use of Circassian walnut
pieces, cane seated. as the remaining
furniture.
1 am fully aware that there are few
decorators who would not have used
a textile against these walls and Tins
have done away utterly with the Ori-
entail feeling which inspired the
scheme. My feeling was for cool
walls. I was almost tempted to use
thing in true eastern fashion. and I
felt that upholstered walls in satin or
brocade would render the room com.
monplace to a degree.
Two beautiful panels of rare old
Chinese embroidery were the only
wall ornament besides the mirrors
that were used.
