 Those are moose flies"
 The name applied to the flies by Mrs. Strong was accepted as proper. and within a couple of days all the tourists were talking of the moose fly as being one of the curiosities of the North.
 A Queer It is expected that the Safe cornerstone for the Oeposit. Alaska Agricultural Col lege and School of Mines. laid with fitting ceremonies yesterday, will remain in place for 50 or 100 years. At any rate. when the cornerstone is at last broken open in the distant future. surprise will be in store for somebody, for in the stone which is made of con crete, has been imbedded several hansful of small change. such as pennies. nickels and dimes.
 This was done by Delegate Wick ersham when the stone was being made, early last week He happened to have the change in his posses sion. and feeling that it was of no special use to him here, determined to put it away in the cornerstone.
 In the library of the college will be books on the history of Alaska, and some of these will probably eX- plain that at the present time small change is almost unknown in gen eral commercial transactions in Fair banks, and this may provide for tu- ture generations the explanation for the money that will be found in the cornerstone.

Comes Long Way
 To Wed Old Friend

Among the passengers arriving on the steamer Alaska last week was Mrs. Laura Young, who came from Los Angeles, and within couple of hours after her arrival she was made the wife of E. A. Williams, an operator on Engineer creek. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. G. G. Bruce at the home of MT and Mrs. J. Harmon Caskey, on Garden Island.
 Mir and Mrs. Williams were friends when they were children. but in later years drifted apart, and when the bride arrived here they met for the first time in ? years. Thus it was a romance of long standing. The wedding was quiet affair, the only persons present, besides the minister being Mir and Mrs. Caskey, who attended the bride and groom during the ceremony.

which means that it is unknown to any Of the
agencies who use the exchange, or the answer
may be, "Cal up such and such society, settle

them" The exchange handles from three to six
hundred such calls day. Last month there were
10000 applications for information of this sort.
No one would be able to estimate how much car
fare and time or how many visitors salaries these
ten thousand calls saved In carfares alone more
than $1,000 must have been saved.
In the Office of Mr.. Cady the secretary of the

correct index of the fluctuations in the demands

them to do this spring because the chief mar

"In the mean time dealers from all over the
country were coming to US and asking what they

there is great need to bring them all together,

PROBLEM profound and menacing con-
~ fronted the AI-erican dealers in wOmens
clothes The spring trade was yelping for
the Color Card. Always, in the past, the Color
Card had been on time. French savants had evolved
a new one twice year.
And there was no Color Card. French
wants had enlisted as French sergeants. French
designers were thinking in terms of mourning.
American women, however, were preoccupied
with the problem of the coming fashions in
ems dress. The women went to the dressmakers,
the dressmakers went to the retail dealers, the re-
tail dealers went to the wholesale men.
Where, oh where was the Color Card?
Each day the situation became more serious
Unless the United States shook herself and brought
forth a Color Card of her own the condition would
be catastrophe.
How the crisis was met was told to the writer
the other day by James Henry Thompson, of B.
Altman & Co., who modest to his part
in the solution of the very real difficulty that
faced American producers of womens' clothes. But
the interview showed that the way out had not
been found without considerable study after bust
ness hours.
"The fashion world" said Mr.. Thompson, "has
long been accustomed to await the French color
card, which has been issued twice year, and
which has been generally followed by makers of
women's clothes in deciding the seasons favorite
color schemes.
This year the French people dressing
chiefly in mourning. There no business, of
course, between the French and the Germans or
the Austrians. In England conditions were the
same as in France. The English women were not
interested in colors. There was every reason why
they should sombre clothes.

THE ART OF THE FRENCH: INFLAMING

The French have the reputation of knowing
how to do this better than any other people 1t is

French often manufacture a monstrosty simply
for the benefit of the free Advertising
The country which gave the world Barnum's
Greatest Show Earth will scarcely lack facility
in designing styles for the exclusive use of news
paper cartoOnists and joke writers, if that is
demonstrated to be a good way in which to ac-
centuate the general trend of fashion
The designers of the a-American fashion ex-
hibt are criticised by Harriet Edwards Fayes for
letting good chance go by.
THE French give them something TO talk
about" she says, something sensational some
thing to criticse, something to laugh at, which
second third season becomes an accented
fashion. The joke was originally used only as a
painter would a high light, as stage man
ager uses a spotlight.
ITO be sure, it was amusing"-she is referring
to the all-American exhibit-"to see full skirts
made of silk cloth and transparent material worn
without frilly pettcoats, but some in the audience
were rather shocked than amused The petticoat
makers certainly missed big opportunity to i'm
press the vast importance of the petticoat upon
the audiences of this collection.
There was only one man of sufficiently origi-
nal mind TO create gasp, and that came when a
manikn appeared in summer costume of

rety American women will feel favorably
disposed by reason of the evident origin of the
material
An authority in such matters asserts, in an arti-
Gle in "The Dry Goods Guide:
There is an abundance of fashions, both
French and native, born in New York this month
And, admirable to say, there is general har-
mony noted in the best New York fashions and
those which made their appearance at the Paris
February openings. 1t must be acknowl
edged the unusual conditions prevailing this sea-
proving that we do not have to wait and
wait and wait until Paris is ready and willing to
publish broadcast her fashion verdict.
Incorporation among creative minds in the
various lines of production proves this And there
is more happy illustration of this fact than the
recent all-American fashion exhibit held at the
Hotel Astor, in this city, and the following week
in half dozen other large cities"
Until the time comes when women can be in
duced to uniform, which is the advice of
pessimistic professors of one sort and another
who, at stated intervals, write bitterly of fashions

will be no ingenuity lost in trying to attract
women to the advantages of a continuous change
