The woman who is clever at tennis and
at golf. knows two swimming strokes and
rides horseback. usually prides herself
on being athletic. Mrs. William e.
Humphrey, wife of Representative Hum
phrey Of Seattle. Wash. has never found
time to go in for athletics under skilled
teachers and trainers after the manner
OF the city-bred woman. She has been
too busy traversing the great plains that
lie between the Tanaga mountains in
Mexico or hunting big game with her
husband on the snowfields Of Alaska. She
has never had the sleeping porch fad, but
she has often found a nights sleep in
the desert. with stars for sentinels. and
tarantulas, rattlers and few other wild
things for neighbors.
Naturally" says Mrs. Humphrey, Il
take great interest in the things that in
terest my husband. SO why should 1 not
accompany him in his travels and on his
hunting trips? How do l dress for these
expeditions? Why. as soon as we get
beyond the pale of civilization discard
woman's clothing for a mans suit,
good. stout pair of boots and a pair of
overalls. To this costume l make what
you may consider the laughable and in
congruous addition of woman's old

Alaska, because it protects my eyes
from the glare of the sun on the snow
more satisfactory than anything else
have tried. My garb never excited
either amusement or interest among our
guides or among the few men we met on
the plains. Their womenfolk were evi-
IDENTIFY accustomed to attach little or no
Importance to frills and furbelows. 1t is
remarkable, anyhow. what insignificant
proportions the subject of dress assumes
when we are face to face with elemental
things
Mrs. Humphrey spent sixty days with
her husband in the northern part of
Alaska, far from even the most remote
of trading posts. On this expedition, with
her Indian guide, Nose, she penetrated
into frigid regions where no white woman
had ever set foot before. AT one time
Mrs. Humphrey and this faithful guide
held the camp for four days while the
rest of the party We're in search Of
game
"I fear you will be horribly disap-
pointed" Mrs. Humphrey says, when 1
confess to never having killed single
bear, or other big game, and that what
enjoyed most of all in Alaska was
the picking Of those hardy and exquisite
wild flowers that bloom in a setting of

Periods Set Aside in Treasury for Re
Taxation From Monotonous Work.

Counters of money in the Treasury De-
partment are to have ten-minute rest Pc
RODS morning and afternoon daily. This
will afford some relief and relaxation to
those engaged in this monotonous and
trying work.
The plan is adopted as an experiment
and Will be operated as such for two
weeks of try-out If the results are what
they are hoped to be. the plan will go
into permanent operation
PRONUNCIATION of this order directing the
rest periods was among the last official
acts of John SHELTON Williams. as acting
secretary of the Treasury, before he took
oath of office, Monday afternoon, as
controller of the currency. 1t affects the
employees IN the money counting and
stamp counting divisions of the Treasury
Department. The morning rest period is
to be between 1870 and 1910 o'clock and
the afternoon period between and 2:1O
o'clock.
