Some nice international questions had
to be settled by Holland in the beginning.

The problem of dirgibles and aero

Holland, in the midst of the numerous
international complications, nevertheless
has been a fortunate neutral. Her indus
tries and trade have not suffered by the
war Comparatively, she has been put
to no great expense in her military meas

which she could not have avoided had
she so desired. She has benefited in her
overseas trade and in her domestic bust

to trade with her. Amsterdam has been

versely, consignments through Holland
have been handled in the same manner.
The State Department, early in hos
tilities. made an arrangement by which
seed for beet root which came from the
Magdeburg district of Germany could
be supplied. This seed was very essen

states. Germany was willing that the
beet growers should have it and Rot

Large quantities of manufactured
goods which had been shipped from
Germany to Rotterdam were held up
by the British order in council of
March, 1915. The release of some of
these consignments was obtained
through informal negotiations with the
British government. since the United
States never having recognized the
legality of the order in council could
not enter into formal negotiations.

however which have not got through.
A Dutch steamship line had more than
thousand consignees, and it is said
that several hundred of these consign-

The possession of very effective
merchant marine has been one of the
means by which Holland has been able
to profit so greatly through the war
conditions. Her ships have gone their

they will be the site of the freight

right. as you face the town from the
sea, is where the new city Is now go
ing up. 1t contains the homes and busi-

fcial residence section. 1t has many
pretty cottages built in the groves and
reminds one little of a summer resort.
1t will probably look different as win
ter comes on.
1t is easy to see the enormous work
that has already been done in starting
the railroad. The lowlands, which are
to be used for government terminals,
were a dense forest carpeted with arc
tic moss which in places was several
feet deep. The trees had to be cut and
the stumps taken out. The moss was
burned away and the ground smoothed
up for the tracks and the buildings.
The whole of this section Is now COW
cred with tracks. There are great piles
of lumber standing about here and
there. Ties are laid up like cord wood
and there are steel beams and rafters
and all sorts of structural material.
There are piles of steel rails. The ma

There are a number of government

for the future. The offices of the COM
mission are in a mean little two-story
frame house, which is thirty feet wide
and perhaps fifty feet high. The sec
ond floor is reached by stairway out

costs him the same the track men,
which is 33 cents a meal. The govern
ment stables are not far from the mess
house. They are great tents hundreds
of feet long in which rude stalls of
poles have been made for the horses.
Adjoining them are stacks of hay and
other horse feed under cover. The gov
ernment has commissary in connec-
tion with this part of the town. 1t
sells all sorts of provisions and other
merchandise on much the same terms
as al Panama. One of the best-looking
buildings is the hospital 1t is of two
stories and is made Of logs. 1t stands
near the harbor facing Knik Arm.
And now let us visit the town on
the bluffs. People began to settle here
before the government came. and they
built hundreds OF tents and shacks
where the railroad tracks are. The en-
gineers changed the site of the town
to the highlands. They set aside

Anchorage. Sunrise is the little

northern end of the Kenai penin-

of cabins and tents that has grown up
at the mouth of Ship creek. on the
mainland at the beginning of the new
construction of Uncle Sans railroad.
The railway really begins at Seward at
the southern coast of the Kenai penin-

miles will be those of the Alaska North
ern, which Uncle Sam has bought ready
built. This runs across the peninsula
to the head of Turnagain Arm not far
from Sunrise and there will be fifteen
or twenty miles to construct from
there on 10 Anchorage. The work now
under way is from Anchorage north
ward. The road is to go up Matanuska
valley to the coal fields and north
ward through the Susitna valley to
Fairbanks, which. as the crow flies, is
almost 400 miles from where 1 am

The reason for Anchorage is the rail-

There are several pretty ways OF
trimming the hair of little boys and
girls, and of managing that of larger
girls in a way to take the best posi-
BILE care of it. But none of them is
quite SO popular as the bobbed hair,
which is equally pleasing on boys or
girls that are little. or the braided
hair for larger girls, as shown here.
Those who trim the locks of the lit
tie ones make some variations in the
bobbed haircut, to suit the individual.
Sometimes the bang is longer and
sometimes the hair at the sides, natu-
rally wavy or curly, is cut a little long

Steam Printinu,

On November 80, 1914, a newspaper
for the first time vas printed by
steam. Although the application of
steam power to printing machinery
had been successfully experimental
with some years previously, the hos
tility of the working printers rendered
it inadvisable for the masters to intro
duce such a startling innovation into
their printing houses. Towards the
end of 1914, however, the growing cir
culation of the Times made a change
of some kind necessary, and in the
face Of fierce opposition the second
John Walters set up a steam printing
press. So on the morning of Novem-
Der 29 the leading article of the Times
announced to its readers that they
held in their hands that day a copy of
the first newspaper to be printed by
steam.-London Chronicle.

A naive and pretty frock of gray
crepe de chine, such as that pictured
above, will lend occurrences and a
touch of youth to its wearer, be she
lacking in both. 1t has the charm of
simplicity and of clever originality to
commend it to those who know the
value of these things that spell

There are plenty of the widely far
ing and qua%int-looking skirts and tho
plain, drawn-in waists for those who
would run after new gods (or a re-
vival of old ones) in pursuit Of fash
ion. But for those who remain loyal
to the waist that blouses and the
straight-hanging full skirt that has
y~outhfulness of line always to COM
mend it, the frock shown here will
make a strong appeal.
The skirt denies the demand of the
mode for extreme shortness and takes
to itself a little extra length, required
by the impression the finished frock
must make. There is a straight pep
lum at each side hanging from a mod
erately wide, plain girdle. This is
edged at the top with a band of cross
barred satin in white with dark gray
bars, and above this a soft frill of the
crepe meets the blouse.
The buttons are covered with crepe
like the dress, and there is an odd and
very youthful-looking collar of white
crepe about the round neck. 1t fas-
