| 4He celeDraLlOn or independence Day yesterday in Nome was differ- ent in many respects from other such celebrations but was carried out quite as successfully. With the de- corated streets, a military parade and athletic sports galore, Nome quite enjoyed itself even before the big dance in the Eagle Hall There was considerable promptness in the start of the parade and Cap- tain Martin and his aides moved forward strictly on time along the prescribed route while the Nome Brass Band unusually efficient ana with many new martial airs made the cir lively with quick step music
 | The autos and floats were crowd ed with children while the smaller buggies, go-carts, and autos of the children, prettily decorated made by far the prettiest feature of the occasion. w. c. M'Guire with the voice of Stentor whoever that an- cient gentleman was, read the De. claration of Independence. The morning events were confined to the smaller children and the winners were First race for girls. Mary Sullivan, Ethel Murphy and Jacolin Fountain. Boys: John Watson, Richard Lee, Billy Maloney; Second Race: Rowena Burgh, Rachel Murphy, and Evelyn Bursik. Boys race. w. Brown, Orville Broderson, Alvin Polet; Third race: B. Brown, E. Grigsby, A. Davidson; Boys: w. Carleton, Harold Danielson ana Billy Chase. Fourth Race: Rowena Burgh, Victoria Anderson and Doris Buckmaster; Boys: Bust CT Murphy, Alvin Polet and Joe Sheldon; Children's race: Billy Chase, A. Wagner and Victoria An derson; Children's Race: Billy Brown, Eliz. Grigsby and Gladys Laiblin. The winners being men, toned in order.
 For the best decorated child ren's float: Orwin Riggs, 1st, Rich- ardson End and Orville Broderson 3rd.
 The afternoon results were: Boys Short race: c. Holden, Charlie and Sullivan; Girls Short Race; Lary AleXon, Marie Lameroux and Marie Levitt; 100 yards dash: Pevitt, Sullivan, Wanger. Realy Race: Petit, Thourburn Ash and Perzinsky; Boys Sack Race: L. Wit tenberg, s. Mogg, E. Buckmaster; Esimo wrestling; David Black, Tom, High Kicking: Paneotuk (King ls- land) Jimmie Darling; Visiting: Ash; Tossing Women: Kitruk; Oomiak race; Soomon team beat Nome, Kyak race: Asakpana of Solomon beat Agalena of King Island.
 The main feature of the day, selections by the Nome Brass Band, should not be overlooked and the sweet strains added not little to the general pleasure of the occa- sion. The dance in the Eagle Hall in the evening was also most enjoyable.

The Love Bug.
All

All.
Gather round all We who are love
sick. This is the bug that gave you
the fever. A fellow who is in good,
healthy condition may be walking
through the park and not have the
slightest thought of falling for some
fair damseL His thoughts may be
far away, overhauling his automobile
or painting a chicken coop, until the
love bug alights on his vest Just over
the first pocket on the left side and
drills through, punctUTing the Ro-
meo-tO-be's carburettor-then keep
your headlights on the poor boob!
Observe how, stricken with the
fever, he raves about some fraiL He
even tries to write poetry about her,
loses his appetite, and wanders along
the streets looking in jewelry and
furniture store windows.
Don's try to dodge the love bug, be-
cause when he goes after anyone he

ADAMS SUIT IS
 WRETCHED AFFAIR
Man Might Be Taken for Ballet
 Dancer, N'ESt Pas?
(Corresnondence of The Associated Press)

Correspondence of The Associated Press)
 Paris, April 12.-The Paris press has characterized as Undesirable" new styles in mems clothing that have recently appeared, and which, With the sanction of the Master Tailors' as- sociation of Paris, threatened to be- come common.
 '"The new garment is imposed by the new epoch about to open,' say the master tailors. "Something easy and graceful, and yet sober and ele- gant as are all things French, but bearing the stamp of the epoch of virility that is coming" To fill that need the tailOrs have revived the old frock coat of 1890, tight at the waist With full plaited skirts and wide long lapels with conspicuous points; over coats to be of the same lines. In this garment as prescribed by the Parisian tailOrs, man appears to be wearing a corset and from a dls- tance might be confounded with a ballet dancer yet the tallorS say that it was only after mature ref1cc- tion and conclusive trials that the "commission of styles found this garment most likely to harmoniZe with the new epoch. They explained that the costume must be com- pleted by harmonious accessories, one of which is a hat with a broad roll ing rim and well arched on the side, still further recalling the romantic style of the days of Alfred de Musset.
 There is considerable resistance 10 this new movement on the part of those who contend that when the sol diers come back they should not find the civilians they left at home cov- cred with ridicule.
 The master tailOrS stand their ground, however, and declare that the day is past for the stiff English styles The women are said to be pleased, the men mostly timid or dis trustful. Critics of the style have delivered a severe blow by giving prominence to the fact that the TO- mantle style, long necks, straight with the frock of 1880 the trousers must be very tight but not yet strapped under the feet. The hair must be worn long and parted on the side, giving further resemblance of Alfred de Musset. Full boards will come into fashion with this style, it is said and will be either trimmed to a point. cut square. or frizzed and spread advantageously over the ex- pansive shirt front which the new style provides. Where the beard is not so long as to hide it, the cravat will be worn in the shape of a but terfy knot, and will be made of satin. The accessories provided for this new style extend even into an ivory headed cane.
