TERMINAL TRACT LOTS MAY
 BE SOLD PRETTY SOON

A. Christensen, of the general land office, who arrived from Anchorage Saturday afternoon has not yet quite been able to say whether the lots on the terminal tract will be auctiOned off this fall or next spring. He says he will know in a day or two, prop ably tomorrow. He speaks very highly of the outlook at Anchorage where he concluded the second sale oi lots a short time ago. In one case in that town he heard a story of a half interest in a lot being sold by the original purchaser for five thousand dollars but he did not remember the names of the parties interested. He is now busy on the matters relating to the prospective sale of our own lots.

PACIFIC NAVIGATION co.
 PUTS ON ANOTHER SHIP.
Instead of Losing the Watson the Company Will Run Ad-
 ditiOnal Vessel

Far from letting the injury to the ''' '---~o-, ;t- optimism the Pacific Alaska Navigation company has decided to put the Admiral Far ragut immediately in its place and not only run the Farragut while the Wat son is being repaired but to keep it on when the Watson is again running, and so give an additional ship to the company's service to Alaska. The Admiral Faragut will sail from Seat tie on September 3, according to a cable received by Frank Watson, as sistant traffic manager. The Watson will resume service immediately after the completion of repairs.

In Washington

ways thought that this was done either
for economy of kid or for fashion. But
l found out my mistake the other day
when the glove buyer explained it to me.
ut always comes in gloves with the
return of the very long style to fashion
and is sign that the glove is veritable
kid. Real kid skins do not come long
enough to make anything but sixteen
button glove length. so for gloves that go
past the elbow length needs to be add
ed, and it is done in this way. This extra
part will outlast the hand of the glove,
and may be put on a new pair of gloves. !"
And the glove saleswoman went on to
give pointers about the new gloves.
THE flare wrist glove for morning wear
has a decided vogue, as 1t slips on easily
and. because of the strap, looks. and fits
the hand. well. 1t may be had all one
color kid or stitched with a contrasting
color and with the strap, flare inset and
stitching of contrasting color.
For short-sleeved coats and dresses Of
a tailored character there is long white
kid glove that has black and white en-
broidery stitching on the back. Such a
glove is not to wear with the more fllmy
dresses. With these evening or dancing
gowns the all-white glove, long and
short, goes better.
-"Sand-colored and covert suits and
coats now have gloves to match, in kid
for the more elaborate ones and mocha
for outdoor driving or walking. The one
clasp buckskin gloves in sand color are
very attractive.
Golf gloves of soft mocha. buttoning
over the back of the hand instead of the
front with openings to give free play to
the knuckles, are of a soft tone of gray.
"Chamois gloves are still correct for
morning wear with the cotton and linen
suits of thick or thin texture. They are
so soft and pliable as to seem more like
thick suede or mocha.
"Lambskin gloves are more reasonable
than kid. but they are not SO soft and
pliable. II they are not sput on just the
right way the first time they are likely
to lose their shape. as they do not stretch
as easily as kid. Lambskins come in
longer pieces than kid, so in long gloves
do not need the additional part
"Silk gloves are promised in the flare
wrist styles, made up in the same con-
trasting colors as the kid"

CALENDAR
ATTIC DAY.

Don't you just dread going up in the
attic?
You put it off, if you can wait. till
after the rest of your house is in apple
pie order, before you climb the stairs
Of that attic and devote the time up
there that your conscience tells you
should be devoted.
But now is the time of year when
you really ought to have a seance with
that attic You should have it thorough
ly cleaned and rearranged now before
you want to store your winter things
away and before you get the summer
things out again. OF course nowadays
We don't pack very much away in the
summer time but our furs and there is
very little to be got out in the spring.
Styles change so rapidly that We usually
wear a thing through from one season
till the next SO long as there is any
style or wear left in it.
coat that has done service through
the winter we dread to put away till
next autumn Ior fear it will then look
sadly ont of line. So the better thing to
90, if it is not fur trimmed, is to con-
tinue wea-'ing it for all outdoor Occa-
sions and for outing wear even into
the warmer months. So with summer
dresses last year We didn't put them
away in the attic as our grandmOthers
woull have done for we knew that
while they were still in style we could
use them for in-the-hOuse dressed in the
winter.
The worst thing about an attic is that
1t is usually so dreadfully dusty and
that is a fault that is unavoidable. for
it surely would not be worth while to
have a weekly cleaning day and BIZ
weekly dusting day in the attic.
So on the day that you devote to the
attic-and be sure you wait till the sun
is shining, bright and warm, and you
can see your way around in the attic
cover your head well and wear a pair
of old cotton gloves. For there is moth
ing that Injuries the hands so badly
as dust that is dry and has stood long.
II you are afraid that the dust will irri-
tate your throat and lungs put two little
pieces of absorbent cotton, moistened
with a little isterine or other disinfect-
ant. up your nose and leave them there
with occasional changes while you are
in the dusty atmosphere. This will free
the dust of all impurities before it
reach-s your lungs.
Make a thorough task of cleaning down
the dust that is in the attic even though
you do not intend to keep it always
free from dust hereafter.
There are probably a great many things
in your attic that have no right to be
there at all. Chiefly among these are
books, for no one has a right to keep
unused books anywhere in her house. 1t
is an easy matter to give them to some
reading room, out-of-the-way school or
institution where reading matter is in
demand and thereby to rid your attic OF
Just so much rubbish.

HER
} BIRTHDAY
AND NOLE2S
January 22-Anna IVonovna.

Anna Ivanovna. who was born on
January 80, 16g3 is the Bloody Mary of
Russian history and surely that much
maligned Tudor queen of England never
did half the black deeds that are laid
at the door of Anna, the Russian En-
press. During the first six years of her
reign no less than 2O,OC0 victims were
killed as the result OF her cruelty. To
be sure it was her favOrite, Biren, who
was directly responsible for their eXecu-
ton, but il was Anna Ivanovna who Kept
the cruel Rircn in power. She was the
niece of Peter the Great and was mar
ried at the age of sixteen, but she was
left a widow within year. At the age
of thirty-six she ascended the throne and
Russia has seldom known such cruel
reign as the one that followed
Anna reigned only ten years, but that
period is regarded as an important one
for it contained the transitional years
between the old MuscoVite semi-bar-
barian manners to those of Western
Europe.

Perhaps no vaudeville undertaking has
ever been attended with the widespread
interest manifested in the forthcoming
appearance of ALA NazimOva, the world
famous Russian actress. in New York.
She will be seen on the variety stage
there for the first time next Monday aft
ernoon at B. F. Keith's Palace Theater.
Every circumstance of her appearance
is attended with deep interest, and she is
herself wildly enthusiastic about War
Brides" a playlet by practically un-
known authOress, in which she will ap-
pear 1t is a playlet that deals entirely
with the woman's side of war, the entire
action taking place in a village from
which nearly all the men have gone
forth and left their women folk behind
to bring into being a new generation for
future wars.
NaZimova herself thinks that in this
play she has found the most wonderful
drama she has ever appeared in. and she
expects to make the biggest hit of her
entire career.
Il have never before been so moved by
any play that I have acted, and l feel
that in presenting this I am not merely
doing something as an actress, but ! am
doing something for the womanhood of

''How Do You Do?"

To our grandmothers How DO you
do?" was simply a greeting of courtesy.
The only possible answer to such a query
to that effect. But nowadays women
seem to accept this time-honored form
Of greeting as a veritable pathological
inquiry.
How do you do?" you ask the woman
whom you meet occasionally at teas and
dances. and then comes rain of conf
dences How do do?" she will begin.
deeply interested from the start, Il don't
do at all, though I always look well
enough. But that's my naturally high
color. Well, il you will believe it. I've
lost fifteen pounds! No, don't show it.
never lose in my face, so I never get
any sympathy. You know I had an op-
Grafton for appendicitis last summer.
Oh, I didn't tell you? Well, it was
dreadful-three nurses, and what do you
think the specialist charged" And so
your friend rattles on till you wish that
the harmless little greeting of How do
you do?'' had never been invented.
Then the woman whom you see every
nlorning-the little lady at the table op-
posite you at the boarding house, or the
woman in the Office whose desk is near to
yours-you are sure to greet her with
How do you do?"
Il wish I could say Very we'll" " will
be her reply, ''but as matter Of fact I
am not we'll at all How could be when
I had only three hours Of sleep-cofree,
suppose. 1 know I shouldn't drink it,
but" and then you are in for another
pathological dissertation.
Why not go back to the old midcen-
tury rule of banishing all mention Of
physical ailments from general conversa-
tion? Like the rule Of those days that
a woman should never discuss mones
matters outside the bosom of her own
family, this rule of conversation about
ones health seems to have gone into
abeyance. But they were both good
rules. and now that We are in for al.
era of crinolines and other relics of q
half century ago why not also revive
some of the old-fashioned rules about
polite conversation?"

the world. Although a short play. I re-
gard this as my greatest dramatic oppor-
tunity.
Il shall appear with a company of
seven principals and twenty extra peo-
pie, and l am told that this is the most
pretentious thing ever done in vaudeville.
For months l had refused vaudeville Of
fers, when 1 came across War Brides
quite by chance and decided that l want
ed to play it right away
Nearly all of the women's clubs in New
York are already planning to so to the
Palace to see Nazimova in this work.
Thus far Nazimova has only consented
to accept two weeks booking in vaude-
vile. because she says she doesn't want
to continue if the playlet is just an ordi-
nary success. If it proves to be the SEN
sation she expects. she says. she will
consider either playing 1t throughout the
country on the Keith circuit or having 1t
enlarged into a play.
NaZimova has never met Marion Craig
Wentworth, the authoress, who is a
young woman living in Santa Barbara,
Cal She never even heard of her until
she came on the play by accident. The
authOress has never before had a play
produced.

The stars incline. but do not compel.

Friday, January ~, 1915.
This is rather an uncertain day, ac-
| cording to astrology. for Mars is strongly
maIefic in aspect. Jupiter and Saturn
are friendly.
It should be a favorable rule for bank
ers, brokers and financiers. The stars
| presage extraordinary extension OF pow
er for Americans who conduct large or
ganizations for the handling of money.
man from the West will gain fame, 1t
| is predicted
There is a prophecy that thrift and
| economy will become fashionable and
that savings institutions of a novel char
acter will gain great popularity.
Under this government of the stars
persons who like material comforts
should benefit.
1t is an abspicious time for the old and
especially for those who desire to win
the favor of the young. Marriages in
which a disparity of age exists will be
numerous.
Mining is subject to a direction that is
encouraging. Coal operators will profit
greatly and a bonanza district where
precious metals are found will attract
attention
Saturn, which is the evening star. ris-
ing at sunset, is read as most encourag-
ing to all vocations connected with the
earth. Agriculture, real estate. and
fruit raising are we'll aspected.
Ancient lore found this confguration
exceptionally lucky for many household
activities.
War in Europe is indicated strongly by
the planets and the seers forecast
months of conflict. A distinguished
American will lose his life in a besieged
city, it is predicted.
Russia is now under a direction, ac-
cording ito the reading of astrologers.
which presages tremendous reforms as
well as widespread extension Of power,
but there is sorrow for the royal family.
The Gar may suffer from personal vio-
lence.
Education has a leading that promises
supreme achievement for students, who
will meet great opportunities in the next
few years. One who is now at Harvard
will gain fame in Europe within a few
years, the soothsayers declare, and a
woman from the West will make name
in Paris.
Persons whose birthdate it is are
warned that they will meet many
anxieties in business but they are prom
ised success. Women should beware of
domestic dissensions.
Children born on this day may be i'm
petuous, ambitious and studious. They
are subjects OF Aquarius and are usual
ly distinguished for self f-control, psychic
power and good health.

The Friendly Oyster.

Science is always defending the ma
ligned oyster. It has been proved that
more uourishment per dollars worth may
be extracted from the oyster than almost
any other food.
Or Julius Nelson, the biologist says:
"Oysters come nearer in composition to
cows milk than do most other meats. as
all the four kinds Of nutrients needed
are present in good degree. oysters
have a larger excess of the flesh-building
substance relative to the other constitu-
rnts than milk. so We balance the ration
by addition of starchy food and fats
when eating oysters, thus securing a
good meal at a cost that compares IA
vorahly with that when other meats are
chosen.
"Oysters have some special points Of
advantage, among which are the follow
ing:
The sea salts that they contain are
useful in regulating and stimulating nu-
trltional processes.
They are the tenderest of meats and
easily dievstcd and suitable even for per-
sons Of scdentary habits.
In addition to being easily sateguarded
against accidental contamination. there is
30 oyster parasite known that will live in

Does Smoking Bore You?

In the February Woman's Home
Companion, Rollin Lynde Hartt writes
The Confession of an eX-Smoker.
About a year ago he gave up the use
of tobacco. and his experience is re-
corded in part as follows:
Il found that smoking bored me.
Like other confirmed smokers, I
smoked to escape discomfort, not to
gain enjoyment.
''Now, it is always a nuisance,
smoking, and when the fun has gone
out of it. a man hates to carry kit
of tools-matches, tobacco box, pipe
cleaners. or cigars and a cigar cutter
everywhere he goes. He hates al
ways having one hand busy managing
the pipe or cigar and one side of his
mouth busy smoking while he talks
from between his teeth with the other
side He hates everlastingly lighting
matches, and more matches, and con-
tinually disposing of ashes or having
them burn holes where they sift down,
red hot, on his clothes. He hates 60

discover his teeth"
