BEST DIVING DRESS
American Invention Infinitely Su-
periOr to All.
New York Man Seems to Have ReVo-
Iutionlzed Process of investigation
Of Wrecks That Lie Many
Fathoms Below Surface.

Several years ago, after a number
of distressing accidents, the British
admiralty determined to make some
scientific tests in the hope Of elimi'
mating certain dangers to which the
naval divers were exposed In service.
Without going into details, but by
using double the number of air pumps
and adopting several important pre-
cautionary measures, they did succeed
In sending down two unusually Mt
men to a depth of 210 feet In the shell
tered water Of landlocked bay,
points out Robert G. Skerrett In the
Scientific American.
Now keep the next fact In mind.
In descending, bottom was reached In
two minutes, and after a stay OF on
minutes the men were slowly brought
back to the surface, the ascent taking
SO minutesl This was required to In
sure safe decomposition and TO guard
Thorn against any Ill effects OF their
great submergence.
In the American idea, the all-metal
armor, the men were lowered to the
water bed in a trife over three min
utes, being held when about hundred
feet down to see that the telephone
was working properly.
After being on the bottom for ten or
more minutes the divers were hoisted
up and out upon the deck of the par
ent steamer in less than minute and
a half.
Why was 1t possible to do this In
the latter case and not with the Brit.
ish admiralty divers?
Simply because the American divers
were not subjected to the hydrostatio
pressure of the enveloping water, and
we're able to breathe air at atmos'
pheric pressure. Their bodies were
not subjected to abnormal stresses
and therefore no period Of readjust
ment was necessary.
This innovation in the art Of sub
aqueous enterprise is the result Of
some years Of gradual evolution, and
is the IT. 7ention of Chester e. Mac
Duffee OF New York city. The suit II

strength. and even so weighs a mat

In making such small garments
there is a saving usually in making
two nj one time. The width OF the
silk and lace is sufficient when the
Jonpth required is purchased to make
two corset covers like that shown
here.
A straight strip of the crepe de

a Test for Linen.

Everything that's labeled linen isn't
linen. 1t may be part cotton and part
linen. and it may be mercerized cotton
with a very small portion of linen in
it.
To test the material you buy for
linen. dror water on the goods. If II
is all linen the moisture spreads rap
idly and dries quickly. On cotton the
fabric will remain moist for some
time.
GIycerin is considered a better test
than water. 1t causes linen to appear
transparent.
Another test for linen is by break
ing the yarn. If cotton the ends viii
curl up, if pure linen the ends remain
smooth.

The citizen who extols the meth

conversant with true conditions
there.
Chicago must not return to her
former policy of allowing houses of
i'll fame to operate.
The city should at once arrange
for the establishment of an indus
trial farm, where fallen women may
be sent to receive medical attention,
moral enlightenment and industrial
training amid surroundings condu-
Give to health and reformation.
The municipality should encourage
in every way campaigns of moral and
hygienic education and should ex-
ercise a stricter supervision over
housing conditions, dance halls, and
the care of the feeble minded and
delinquent.
Suppression must not be allowed
to constitute oppression. Fines and
repeated fines will avail little. The
women should be given new chance

ROADS ARE
 NOW BEING REPAIRED

A crew of IA men and several teams is engaged in repairing the roads lead. ing from Juneau to Sheep Creek and to Salmon Creek. Two hundred loads of gravel have already been used in ballasting the Salmon creek road and Brick Nelson, who volunteered his ser vices to oversee the work says that the road is now passable but not in such condition as he would like to have it. Work is also progressing on the Sheep creek road as fast as conditions will permit.
 All of this repair work was made possible through the earnest activity of the committee appointed by Gov. J. IF. A. Strong to solicit subscriptions from the business men of Juneau for the work and to the liberal responses of those approached on the matter. The committee consists of H. J. Ray mond, w. F. Merchant and w. w. Cas- ey, and this committee is still at work collecting money with which to con- tinue the work.
 Mir. Raymond said this morning that the committee had had unusual sue cess, so far all of the business men contributing generously toward the fund. The transfer men were also very liberal in their contributions of both cash and labor. The committee feels assured that enough money will be forthcoming to complete the repair work now under way. It is not known at this time just what the Alaska Road Commission will be able to do for the Juneau roads.

SENATE AGAINST
 SUFFRAGE AMENDMENT

WASHINGTON, March 2O- By a vote of 35 to 34 the United States Sen. ate yesterday defeated the Ashurst resolution submitting a constitutional amendment providing for woman suf' frage.
 An amendment offered by Senator J. K. Vardman, of Mississippi, repeal. ing the fifteenth amendment to the Constitution, which extends the suf- frage to Negroes, and then granting the right to vote to women, was de. feated before the final vote upon the resolution.
 The vote against the Constitutional resolution is not regarded as an indication that a majority of the Senators are opposed to woman sui frage, but that they are opposed to further interference with the suffrage question by the National government.
