LeadIess Glaze Unknown.

Englishmen demand 'leadless glaze"
when they buy pottery, for leadless
glaze does not poison the pottery

for 1t in the china shops-most Of US

AS far as the congress Of the Unit

Wilson Seems Confident.
So it is that the currency measure.
over the passage of which a sigh of
relief went up because 1t brings with
it cessation of congressional Iabors
and a surcease of present SORROWS,
will become the law of the land and
go into operation without any definite

President Wilson seemingly is sure

times of stress, that stability under
lies the law in every one OF its classes,
and yet Mr.. Wilson may be mistaken.
He admitted before the bill was intro

currency question thoroughly. Has
he been able to master it in three
months? Other men who have stud
led money and its qualifications
through the avenues of peace for
years are ready to confess today that
they are still cropping. The law is tc
go into operation. There will be no
more surprise in Washington at It's
failure to do what it is Intended to do
than at its success. On currency
matters the lawmakers have been
guessing and now after all the weeks
of debating it can still be said that
perhaps one mans guess is as good
as anothers.

Sets Paris Fashion:

Princess Guy Is one OF the Partisan
elegantes who lead the fashions in
stead of merely following them. She
and her favorite dressmaker consult
each other freely, with the result that
she is always perfectly and suitably
dressed. Paris owes her some of the
recent picture reviyals, for Princess
Gay is an ardent admirer OF Gainsbor-
ough and Reynolds. She has been
heard to say that it would ba very diff
ficult to find even in Paris a dress
artist who could arrange a fichu in the
perfect style which seemed natural to
Gainsborough. or to his paint brushes.
In my portrait study have depicted
a quaint little toque worn by Princess
Guy de Faucigny-Lueinge at an after
noon concert recently given at the
Theatre Astruc. The crown was com
posed of ermine and the border of
skunk, while two curved mounts stood
erect in front. With this toque a
clinging gown Of white velvet was
worn. The design was very simple
but the lace on the blouse was rare
old Valenciennes, and there was a
ceinture of filigree silver inset with
baroque pearls and antique paste.
At the same concert the Grand
Duchess Vladimir of Russia wore
superb mantle of black fox lined with
ivory white satin and chiffon, and a
draped gown composed of black mir
ror velvet. The grand duchess is a
great admirer Of artistic jewelry. She

Remarkable Work In Alaska.

Lieut. Col. Wilds p. Richardson.
United States army. chairman of
the board of road commissioners
for Alaska, has come "out of the
wilderness" to Washington to report
at headquarters. Colonel Richard
son and his fellow road builders. Lieut..
Glen Edgerton, corps of engineers;
and Lieutenant Louis A Kunzig, Thir-
tieth United States infantry, have SUI
perintended the construction and have
attended to the details of administra-
ton of government road which runs
from Valdez near the coast to the town
of Fairbanks, and over which in the
summer time automobiles find easy
passage.
Perhaps when one reads this short
statement of road construction the
task appears to be nothing phenome-
nal. but it must be remembered that
this road which the army officers
planned, laid out and built runs
through 400 miles of what is virtually
a wilderness. The natural difficult
ties which are overcome seemingly
we're enough to dishearten the hardi-
est and most resourceful of men. but
the road has been built and IL has cost
the government $1,000 mile less than
the estimate made by engineers who
went over the proposed road nine
years ago.
This government road, which has
opened up Alaska TO wagon traffic In
summer and to the traffic of mail
sleighs and other Shedding vehicles"
in the winter, cost $500 mile to
build. Army engineers fixed the pros
pective amount of expenditure at So
500 mile. The road today is as good
as the ordinary country road and If
the government chooses to expend an
additional $1,000 for each mile OF con-
struction, which the engineers recon-
mended, it can be made ore OF the
model roads of the country.
Hardest kirG Of Job.
There is a plan at present for the
government to build railroads in
Alaska to be owned and possibly to
be operated by Uncle Sam. 1t is said
in Washington that If the govern
ment's railroad shall be constructed as
wen and as economically as the wag-
on road which Colonel Richardson
and his associates have just COM
pleted, the tax payers of the country
and the travellers who use the rail-
way well may be satisfied with gov
eminent work. Road building in
Alaska is a hard task. All sorts of
conditions must be met. Landslides,
torrents, glacial action and variety
of assortment of problems, to the lay
man seemingly impossible fsolution,
confront the builders at intervals all
along the line of construction. For
years Colonel Richardson has been at
his work, and last fall with his col
leagues he made the trip over the new
roadway the whole distance from
Fairbanks to Valdez In an auto truck
Lieutenant Colonel Richardson, who
has spent so many years In the gov
eminent service in Alaska. is sturdy
Texan. He graduated from the United
States military academy in 1884.

Companion Anne Morgan, youngest
daughter of the late j. Pierpont Nor

American girls. The subject of the first
talk is the girls education and the next

woman of wide mental vision and
warm sympathies whose conclusions
are founded on the broadcast travel and
experience and on mature thought.
In the same issue chapter is repro
duced from Olive Schreiner's Woman
and Labor" in which the point is pow
erfully made that women, if they could
have a greater voice in the management
Of governments, would stop all wars
because being the mothers of men they
have an infinitely wider appreciation
of the value of human life than men.
