NEW YORK. May 1.-THE high hat
no longer presents problem of annoy
ance to the woman who realizes she
cannot wear it The milliners have con-
scented to put broad. fiat hats back into
fashion. The world is now filled with
broad brimmed sailors and f1aring, modi-
fed Mexican hats that are usually hand
painted. The fastidious woman is apt
to become wearied with the latter type
of characterization 1 have said before.
but still, parrots that look as though a
steamroller had passed over them still
stare at one from every 5th avenue shop
window.
Hand-painted roses arranged IN gar
lands or in straight lines around the
base of the crown are not so objection
able as the gayly plumaged parrot but
even at that. they are not as good as
Rises made of silk or satin.
There are many names for this new
kind of hat. which should be prohibited
from the city streets. Its brim is fash
toned after the Mexican or cowboy hat,
bur its crown is merely round and large

Mexican grass was used at first, but now
all kinds of coarse fibered straw are
built into this headgear.
The rival to it is the broad-brimmed
sailor. with widely striped linen, shan
tung or satin. But it has been recoc-
nized that these hats are to be worn
Informally. they are to be annexed 10
sport suits and sweaters. There still
remains. however. vast variety of
formal hats for those who do not ever
indulge in sports, to begin with. and
whose spring and summer life still con-
tafns enough Formally to call for dig

The Square Topped Sailor.

ago and. while it had a few adherents
then. they have been multiplied by the
dozens this season. Nearly ALI the shops
offer these shapes. differing from each

is of fine black straw, and the crown.

q bit Of stiffening, two inches above 1t
In the majority of shapes the brim is
round and the crown is square, but the
other contrast is equally fashionable.
Infrequently. the milliners try a touch
of ornament by running a silk. jet or
metal cord around the edge Of the crown
and twisting it into loop at each cor

LAUGH RIGHT OUT

Right away Peters nimble wits began

What are you laughing att asked a

Right away plan for getting Reddy up

get Sammy angry, and that would make
Sammy scream. Reddy would be sure to

The High Hat Not ousted.

Despite the color and originality dis
played in the broad brimmed hats the
high hat still holds good: in fact. it is
preferred by many women. In its other
incarnations it had to be posed on one
side of the head. which took skill and
artistic perceptions. This season it.
like all other hats. must be put squarely
across the head. marking a straight line
across the forehead. There is no CO.
quettish lift of the brim or concealment
of the right eye: hats are put on sduare-
ly and firmly like a soldiers helmet and
even with their height they do not show
anything of the hair except the tab or
curl over the ear. The sketch shows
such a shape in black straw. trimmed
with ruff1e of tulle and roses.

Once upon time every hat carried
its ornamental bandeau built of foliage,

 The Mccarthy district gets the entire appropriation allotted to the third Division, and while it is not a great deal, yet the widows mite' was much appre- ciated in heaven; how much more the Territorial money on the Sourdough Hill Trail, which all mushers agree is Hell.
The avalanch., 1916-09-23

The thanks of the entire Cop per River Valley is due to the Alaska Road Commission and to Mir. Ed. Wood, Territorial Road Supervisor for the Third Divis- ion. for their decision to impro- ve the Sour Dough Trail and to construct pile foot bridge a. cross the Nizina River. While it is to be regretted that the funds would not permit wagon bridge to be built, yet a foot bridge will help wonderfully. The prospector is, as a rule, not overburdened with ready coin
The avalanch., 1916-09-23

There has been considerable discussion among our citizens of late as to the advisability of in corporation. Under the laws of Alaska any town having a popu- lation of three hundred inhabit- ants may, by following a certain course of procedure, incorporate as q municipality. The advant- ages to b. gained are self go1 : ernment as regards all local af- fairs, the power to tax property Il to two per cent of it's value, per annum for school and muni- clpal purposes, to provide ade- 4uate fire protec ion, local police protection, and provision for the guarding of publ. hetlth. In addition to the two per cent tax which may be assessed, all lic- ense money derived from what ever source is turned over to the city government by the Clerk of the District Court. The disad- vantage claimed by some is tie liability for the payment Of the tax and the cost of the city gov ernment. Inasmuch as the 1i- cense money paid by the town at the present time amounts to something over $5000. per an mum and the amounts contribut- ed by the residents for various street improvements during the past year amounted to some thing over $500, it seems as though the additional burden would be small as compared with the benefits derived.
 This is a matter which should be well thought over and discus sed, and action taken as soon as possible, in the event it is tho h. ght best to incorporate.

NAME NATION UPON MOUNTAIN
Tiny Montenegro Has For Centuries
Nested in the Shadow Of Their
Loved Lovcen.

The Black mountain has been taken
and the central powers are knocking
at the doors of the tiniest royal cap
ital in the world. From Lovcen, the
eliminating peak of Montenegro prop
er, the realm of King Nicholas takes
it's name, and at it's eastern base nes-
ties Cetinje, a town of 5000 souls
and one broad street, but boasting a
palace and row Of LEGATIONS
whitewashed cottages sandWiched be-
tween the Offices Of the ministers Of
state. Because it's northern and east
ern declivities are in shadow the
greater part OF the day, the ancient
Slavs called Lovcen "the Black noun
tain" and the hill becoming in time
also 'the Sacred mountain the whole
country to the north and east known
as the Country Of the Black Noun
tain," or Montenegro. On its pedestal
like summit today stands a little
chapel containing the body of Peter
II, the last Vladika, or prince-bishop
Of Montenegro, who desired that he
might be buried $50 his spirit might
survey his beloved land."-Philadel-

TURN TO STUDY OF FUTURE.
Government Of France Considers
Plans to Send Young Men 20
America for That Purpose.

Etienne Clementel, French minister
Of commerce, has received favorably
a suggestion made by Jules Bois that
the French government should create
fund for sending young men to
America to study the future" there,
as now young men are sent by the
government to Rome and to Athens to
study "the past" M. Bois said to
the minister that America could
teach France as much concerning or
ganization and methods Of doing with
extreme efficiency everything con-
nected with practical life as the me-.
MORALS of Rome and Athens taught:
Frenchmen beautiful things Of an
cient life. Europe could see in Amer
lea the germs Of the future, and young
Europeans ought to go there for in
spection and inspiration. NJ. Clemen-
tai has considered the idea and will
recommend it to the chamber Of COM
merce, which, he thinks, ought more
directly to be concerned than the gov
ernment. NJ. Bois says that those
Frenchmen who have visited America
have obtained there a largeness OF
view which they did not have before
and that he believes one effect OF the
war will be to cause Europeans, and
especially Frenchmen, to visit the
United States.

exceptional discrimination.
Mrs. Mary Moore is Philadelphia's
first woman rural mail carrier. AS
the government does not appoint WON
en- mail carriers, Mrs. Moore got a
man appointed to the route, which she
drives as substitute carrier, the gov
ernment not objecting to permitting
women to carry mails as substitutes.

New Safety Device.

A clever device to insure that not
more than ten men at once shall ride
on the mine cages is In use at the
colliery Of Jermyn & Company at
Rendham. It consists Of a turnstlle
with four spaces, which will revolve
exactly two and a half times in one
direction, thus admitting ten men. The
turnstile revolves on a screw thread
of which there is just enough to per-
nit the two and a half revolutions.
Then the gate to that shaft is closed,
and that to the adjoining shaft opened
and ten men are admitted by the
turnstile revolving in the opposite d.
rection to the cage in that shaft. The
device stands between the two shafts.
It is the invention of Supt. John Cor
coran, and has been in use long
enough for a thorough test. The only
way to load more than ten men on
either cage is for the extra man to
climb over the turrstile or gate, and,
Of course, the headman will not per
nit that.

OFFICER WASTED FEW WORDS
Conveyed Injunction Briefly, but Left
Hearers With a Small Matter
to Ponder Over.

Though the czar packed him away
to the Caucasus and put others in his
place at the head of the Russian levies
sent to stem the tide of German inva-
sion, Paris still cherishes it's admira-
tion of the tall, grim Grand Duke
Nicholas Nichc,aievitch, sometime
generalissimo OF the armies Of Mus
covy. And it is in Paris that they still
tell this story: One evening, when his
forces lay near the Polish frontier the
grand duke gave orders that all the
persons engaged in purVeying supplies
to the soldiers should be assembled
at nine o'clock alongside the track
where the grand ducal train was
stabbed for the night. "I have high
ly important communication to make
to the individuals in question: Mich
olas explained.
Promptly at the hour named the in
vited guests were on hand and stood
in line respectfully waiting. They did
not wait long. In not above minute
the grand duke stepped out Of his car,
facing the trades persons, and looked
them over for several minutes in ST.
lence. Then he spoke:
Gentlemen, what I have to say to
you is very serious for you, and is
comprised in exactly three words. Do
not steal-or I'll hang every mothers
son of you"
With that he turned on his heel and
re-entered his car. The audience was
at an end.

Defends the Yorkshire Breed.

There is one enthusiast in this city
who thinks that the Yorkshire terrier
Is destined to become the pet in socl-

other small breeds that are so much
in vogue at the present time. This is
Mrs. William C. Thompson, who has
the leading kennel Of this breed. She
is a Yorkshire woman and is in the
game for the love of it and not for
the profit that might accrue from the
breeding of these dogs. Most Of the
puppies that she has bred she has
given away to fanciers Of the breed,
and she says that before she gets
through she is going to have the
Yorkshire come into the popular IA
