FIRENIEN PLAN BIG DANCE
 WAsHINGON's BIRTHDAY

At the regular meeting of the volunteer Fire department. held Saturday night, the department gain- ed two first class recruits, Joe Col burn and Billie Bunting.
 It was undecided at the meeting whether the annual Washington's Birthday ball would be given on the 21 or the 23 of February and was finally settled by placing the matter in the hands of the commit tee, who are to determine the date within the next few days.
 From the activity Of the con- mittee having the affair in hand which they have already displayed, there can be no question of the 1914 event being up to those of former years, as the social occas- sion of Skagway's winter season.

NATIONAL DANCE
 IS TABOOED

Paris, Jan. 7-The Argentine Minister to Paris, senor Enrique Larreta, has barred the dance of his country which is now creating a fur ore all over the world. There is one place in France, he declared, "where the Argentine Tango will not be danced, and that place is my house. To Argentine ears the very music is unpleasant. An or chestra which l had recently at my house struck up a tango tune and I immediately ordered the players from the house." Senor Larreta de- clares that he can see no difference between the tango as 1t is danced in the elegant bathrooms of Paris than that danced in the disreputable night resorts in BuenOs Ayres-the same gestures and the same cOntOr- tions. Tt is not true that Argentine cowboys dance it." he said, "the guachos dancing a very pleasant and dignified dance"

 DEATH F0R THOSE UNPREPARED

cause the tent was too small to house the entire party.
 We left the tent before dayoreak using a bug, which is tin can open at one end, with candle in side to light our way. Luckily the wind was not blowing, and when we finally got away from the crevasseS we had just half an inch of candle left. If We had run out of candles ] am sure We all would have frozen to death.
 "I am not saying that 1t will be impossible to keep this glacier trail open this winter, but I do say it is almost criminal to misrepre- sent conditions of the trail, as has been done by some CordOva resi- dents. As a reslVt of this misrep' resentation men are led to start in over this trail without the equip meut necessary to prevent absolute suffering and probable death from freezing or starvation.
 At the present time any one travelling over the trail must take wood, bedding, tent, stove and Oth- CT supplies. Naturally no one can take more wood than necessary for two or three days. The result s that if a blizzard De encountered, which would prevent travel for sev- eraI days, fuel would give out and possible freezing result.
 When l came out there were some twenty or twenty-five men at Chisaua who wanted to come along but as the tents could not accomnNo- date so many I was obliged to out wit them as a matter of self preser- vation. came out in three and one-half days with two dog teams. In the party were Ned Hill, HOWard H. Fields, Angus Holiday and henr Elder. We also assisted three other men to get over the trail"

 EGG PRICES

Chicago, Jar. Mrs. Caroline Bley, who organized tEe egg boycott that causel bio Chicago egg men to plead for mercy but failed to make any perceptible dent in the high cost, is laying plans for anoth- CT campaign against high egg prices looking twelve months into the future.
 Mrs. Bley intends to beat the cold storage men at his own game, by making every housewife in Chi cago a little cold storage proprietor of her own. She wants them to re- vert to the methods of "barreling" eggs invented by their grandmothers
 The Chicago Clean Food Club, of which Mrs. Bley is the prsident, and the organization that started the recent camaign in Chicago with a slogan, i've want 32 cen eggs" will send to thousands of housewives copies of the following recipe for cheaU eggs and preserving them for the winter.
 One poung of lime, one pint of salt, three gallons of water. Slack the Iima, add the salt and water and mix thoroughly. Let stand for two days before using, stirring occasion ally. Drop the eggs into this brine and when the grocer offers yO eggs at 50 cents a dozen, give him the "ha-ha" and pluck twelve of your pickled gems.
 Eggs are just as gooG when pre- served In this manner as when first received", said Mrs. Bley, "I know of a number of women who used this recipe with excellent results"
