WOMEN AND TARIFF AT FAULT
Men Make Women and Tariff "'The
Goat" of All High Cost of
Living

Discussion over the universal prob
lem of making both ends meet seems
to have begun, as to the United States
at least, with an assumption on the
part of certain men that women's in
competence or extravaganza as house
keepers was responsible for all the
trouble. Then it ran the gamut until
it reached the tariff. Then it started
on another octave by striking the key
that women were permitting too much
waste in the kitchen. Then it again
skipped trippingly to the tariff. Once
more it brought back to its starting
point by a declaration on the part of
the butchers that high prices were
caused by the demand of women for
the choicest cuts. The inevitable pass
age of the discussion, step by step, to
the tariff occurred once more, and now
we are back to the woman.
New York retail grocers say that
woman is so peculiar as a buyer Of
green and other groceries that it is inn
possible for them to cover expenses in
their line unless they charge for what
she doesn't buy as well as for what she
buys. The way they put it is, that she
will have nothing but the choicest of
everything, whereas they 1.-THE groc-
ers) must take all sorts from the pro-
Queer or commission man. The result
is that all the stuff that is not choice
is left on their hands Somebody must
pay for it. They cannot do it and con-
tinue in business.
One might imagine that there is no
man at home who tells the woman that
she must buy nothing but the very
best; that the man takes everything as
it comes; that he never criticizes or
complains, never intimates that if he
were doing the buying he would stake
no seconds" from any grocer. f no.
thing of this kind ever happens, per-
haps the woman is to blame. But it
really makes no difference. The high
cost Of living discussion can apparent

woman to the tariff. One good thing

VALUE OF ART IN INDUSTRY

The state of Minnesota has as
sembled in St. Paul the best fine and
industrial art work of Minnesota, and
in addition art works of unusual merit
selected from galleries and studios in
New York, Chicago and other art
centers. The work of the MinnesQtans
has been judged by jury of eminent
artists and craftsmen, who came here
from Chicago, and who awarded
medals and diplomas and cash prizes
amounting to $1,000. The whole col
lection was open to the public Satur-
day, March LIST, in the municipal Audi
torium in ST. Paul. 1t will be open
daily until the night of March 9Th. 1t
will be taken to Minneapolis and ex-
hibited in the public library there
from March 21st to 31st and then to
Owatonna for exhibition from April
18th to 21st
1t is the ninth annual exhibit of the
Minnesota State Art society, depart
ment of the state government. The
work of this society is under the direc-
ton of governing board of which
Cyrus Northrop, president-emeritus of
the University of Minnesota, is the
head, and as director, Maurice l. Flagg.
The organization is bringing the peo-
pie of Minnesota to recognize the value
of art in industry, as well as the cul-
tural and commercial value of aesthetic
art
Some Things Already Accomplished
i The State Art society is assisting
Europeans, its first notable work hav-
ing been among expert German and
Bohemian lace makers in the vicinity
of New Ulm and Sleepy Eye. The
laces manufactured there, which for
merly were made of cheap material
and traded in" at local stores, are now
being made of excellent linen thread
on new and highly artistic designs.
The Art society has exhibited these
laces in many Eastern cities and each
exhibition has resulted in a surpris-
ingly large number of orders. This
industry has grown to real importance
\ In the vicinities named, and many of
the children of the lace makers, who
formerly spurned the labor of their
parents, have taken up their occupa-
ton. In order to supply the demand
for instruction in lace making among
these people the Art society has
planned to establish a school convent
emily situated for these people. The
people of the state are coming to real
ize that such work means direct eco
nomic saving for Minnesota.
Model Farmhouse" Plans
Another exceptionally interesting
part of the exhibit viii be some thirty
plans for model farmhouse" drawn
by Minnesota architects in a COMPETE
ton arranged by the society. The
purpose is to demonstrate to the farm
er that for but slightly increased ex-
ipenditure he may have the comforts
and advantages of well designed,
well constructed home, equipped with
plumbing, heating and lighting APP
iparatus, and by obtaining proper adj
vice, may enjoy artistic surroundings
| by way Of tasteful decorations and
Furnishings. Six cash prizes, amount

about it is that it wins in woman
sympathizer for the tariff. Another is
that by its mere reiteration it is at
tracing the attention that will pro-
badly eventually get at the truth of
the situation.

The parcel post is being utilized by the natives in the Arctic circle to get their fers to market, according to Capt H.G. Ballinger, commanding the United States revenue cutter Bear, which made cruise to Point Barrow, the most northerly point of the United States domain. A number of natives north of Boring strait have sent white fox skins by parcel post to Seattle and San Fran cisco, receiving better price than they could from the trading craft. The com pany in the Arctic during the season says Capt. BallinRer, has been quite keen and the natives have received good prices for furs, the traders pay ing cash. Fair white fox skins bring S15, which few years ago would have been considered an eEorbitant price. The standard price at Point Hope for polar bear skins is @ per foot of length. Capt. Ballinger reports the reindeer herds along the coast are mul.
 iplyiDg rapidly and the natives own ing deer are considered capitalists. The natives generally are in prosperous condition, and their villages within the Arctic could be held up as models, as far as law and order are concerned, tG places of equal size in any other coun- try in the world. Were it possible for them to obtain divorces when unhsp- oily married, without the long and ex- pensive trip to Nome, there would practically be no violation of law.
 Competent engineers declare that Alaska coal is as valuable for steam purposes as any coal from the East yet the government sends enormous quantities to the coast, paying for the transportation twice the value of the coal itself, and often more. This ie bad economies, not to speak of the strategic aspects of the question. At tention has been drawn anew to this anomally in national management by the recent increase in the shipments of coal for naval stations in California and at Hawaii If thezast deposits in Alaska were made available by suitable railroad development, there would be an enormous saving cheap coal supply would immeasurably stimulate manufacture there aud would con- tribute not little to the decrease in the coet of living The obstacles result from a mistaken application of con servation principles and the popular fear that somebody will profit by the commercial development of Alaska. Private initiative is practically barred from the territory, and the government will neither develop the territorial wealth itself nor permit any one else to do SO except on terms practi- cally prohibitive. Thisis a disastrous perversion of the wise principles of regulation which reflects discredit upon nation which brides itself upon ito aptitude in utilizing it's natural ad. vantages. There are enormous deposits of hard and soft coal in Alaska which gre untouched, and they cannot be touched until congress can overcome its reluctance to do one thing or the other. It ought either to modify tho terms under which the commercial ex- ploitation of Che riches of the territory is now retarded, or it should take some positive action to encourage the railroad development which is thewital factor in the problem.-Phila6dnhie Ledger

Good reports come rom Jne new strike near Andreafski, near the mouth of the Yukon. A town has been estab- Hshed, named Marshall City. About 100 persons are located at the new camp. Many people from Nome are preparing to stampede to the new dig eings, which are also drawing many people from the lower Yukon. lt seems beyond doubt that the new fields will have population of 200 this coming winter, with prospects of many more if reports continue favorable.
 That the abrogation of the assay charge at the United States assay office at Seattle has greatly stimulated the gold receipts iH evident by comparing the months just passed with those of the preceding year. In July, August and September, 1912, the assay office received sl ,034,596.72 in gold During the same months of 1918 the assay office received s4 ,463, ,935.40, or approximately a S2OOOOOO increase. The showing is regarded as excellent, ia view of the fact that shortage of water in some of the mining districts hea prevented the cleanup of all the dirt, and chat much of it will go over until next spring for cleaning. The prospects are thus very bright for an increased output next season.
 Henry Dubois and Hugh Brady, Daw- son hotel keepers, have filed a suit in equity in the Yukon territorial court against William James, ldiscoverer of the Chisana; Matilda Wade, who ac .companied James, and William John- son. Brady and Dubois alleRe that they, together with Johnson, grub staked James and Wales in the Nugget mine at Dawson and that they were counted out in the final division of the rich claims in the Chisana, but that Johnson was granted quarter interest in all the properties acquired, and they ask for an injunction restraining the defendants from selling the ground or disposiug of the gold. The action iu- wolves fifteen placer claims-the Bo- nauza, Little Eldorado, Gold Run and other claims elsewhere in the camp and quartz properties.
 The Marconi wireless equipment of the Glory of tbe Seas, the floating cold storage plant which is freezing Ash at Idaho inlet, did excellent work recently during the time the government cable between Sitka and Juneau was out of commission. The Glory's wireless, which is the heaviest and most com plete on the coast outside of the land stations, relayed many messages be- tween Sitka and Juneau. The break in the cable was not repaired for several weeks. The Marconi station at the can- nery of the Rake Packing Co.,, at Rake, Alaska, which was closed down during the winter is again in operation. This station has a two kilowat equipment which is in regular communication with the Sitka wireless. The use of the wireless in the fishing industry is gradually increasing Aside from the nlants on the salmon fleet vessels, three large halibut schooners running out of Seattle are equipped with wire less.
