Experts report that it is entirely practical tf
manufacture neWSprint in Alaska and deliver 1T
through the Panama canal, to New York, at
cost of not more than $35 per ton. When it is
considered that current prices for similar paper
range from $50 ton upward, it is evident THAI
a new industry could be built up in Alaska tnaf
would be an exceedingly profitable one.
While no definite plans have been made to that
may find it profitable to erect his mill in
Alaska to produce print paper. Such a mill would
cost about S2,5OOOOO, and it would pay for itself
within few years. The present attitude of the
government officials is that If private manufac-
turers of paper can be induced to meet the de-
mands of the country it would be unwise for the
government to enter the field, but If our present
threatened shortage of paper materializes such
plant will doubtless be constructed in Alaska.
Another phase of the wood-pulp industry that
is being considered by the government experts,
is to more fully utilize the vast quantities of
wood wasted annually by the saWmills of the
country. This waste aggregates something over
100000 cords year, large part OF which
might be saved. ~
If we are to make our paper ind&stry a perma-
ent one it is necessary for us ndEsonly to con-
serve our present supply but to plant cut-over
Denuded lands can be planted with 1000 young
Some of the large paper companies do
ing this, and their efforts are being encouraged
by the government. In addition the forest serv-
ice is carrying out definite policy of reforesta-
ton in various parts of the country.

CLING TO CHARM OF YOUTH
Good Complexion Cannot Be Retained
if Covered With Layers of Rouge
and SWathes of Powder.

Every young girl, no matter who she
may be, has the charm of youth and
should hold it. It is as elusive as
dream and cannot last for many years,
so while it is hers she should cherish
1t. It is the look of youth.
But no girl can hold it, no matter
how clever, who covers it up with lay
ers of rouge and swathes of powder,
declares a beauty specialist. A touch
of rouge when one is tired and the
face is colorless, especially in the
evening, is not objectionable, but the
girl who has a good complexion, the
gift of nature, should never resort to
rouge or powder, except for the light
rice powder that keeps the face from
the shiny look, which is such de-
tractor of beauty.
1t seems almost unbelievable that
any girl with really good complex.
ion would resort to paint or powder
and yet it is true that many do. It
may be that these girls have an idea
that these aids to complexion give
to them the appearance Of sophistica-
ton.
And they are right, in a measure.
For rouge invariably does give the
lines of the face an older look, hard
ening Of the countenance, if too rash
~ used.

STYLES FOR WINTER COATS
Fashion Provides for Straight Lines
With Generous Fuiness, but
There Must Be No Flare.

Straight lines characterize the best
coats designed for the season. This
must not be taken to mean that the
garments are narrow. Quite the con-
trary is true. Generous fullness is let
in, but they are without flare. In
street and utility coats sleeves are usu-
ally set in, while flowing sleeves cut.
in one with the garment are the rule
on evening wraps. 4
An indicated waistline Is almost the
invariable rule with the new coats.
Sometimes a belt that is wide and Cir
dle-shaped is used; again a strap belt
tied loosely and With hanging ends
may be favored.
The coat with empire back and
slightly circular front section is occa-
siOnally seen.
Dressy afternoon coats Of satin, or vel
vet, and nearly always deliberately fur
trimmed, are being given great deal
of attention by the best designers and
a strong demand for them is expected.

WATCH THE LITTLE THINGS
Wise Mothers Keep Eye on Remnant
Counter and Utilize Leftovers for
Little Girls Dresses.

The little girl of, the family may be
charmingly QUILTED at trifiing cost
if thought and industry go into the
task.
Few people are so foolish as to
underestimate the Importance of ap-
pearance, and the woman who dresses
well with a comparatively small out
lay Of money in her turn, has been
properly dressed as a child by a
mother who took interest in her small
daughters clothes.
The wise mother will keep an eye
on the remnant counter, and on odds
and ends left over from the apparel
of grown-up members of the family.
With a clever combination Of fabrics.
or a deft touch of handwork here and
there, she will give originality and in
dividuality to dresses for~the little girl.
A complete seasons outfit should
never be arranged at one time. A new
dress now and then means more to a
child than it does to an adult, so that
to some extent the juvenile wardrobe
should be arranged piecemeal.

ing supplies of the lake states for the needs Of
the middle West
In addition to the principal pulp-supplying
woods spruce and hemock it has been found
from tests made by the government that at least
II other species are suitable for the manufacture
of pulp. Some of these species are Engle-
mann spruce, lodgepole PINE white fir and other
cheap and plentiful coniferous woods OF the west.
AT least ten of these woods were found TO pc
good enough for neWsprint, and paper made from
some of them actually used In edlelons ol
several metropolitan newspapers.
In looking to the West for our future supply OF
wood pulp it is gratifying to note that two other
elements that will make for the ready develop
ment of the wood-pulp industry are found III
proximity to the forests. These two elements
are waterpower and coal. Throughout the noun
famous states of the West hundreds or
streams, the power from which, if conserved and
harnessed would operate with the minimum OF
expense, the greatest pulp plants in the world.
The same is true Of our undeveloped coal fields
in Alaska and other states
In carrying out the government policy OF util-
izing the natural resources of the country with
out iniuring them, the forest service last year
made sales of public timber amounting to $780,
Ooo These sales were made to a great number
of widely scattered interests, including lumber
companies, railroads, mining companies and one
Western paper mill. To encourage the estaDnsh-
ment of new mills and pulp plants in the West,
the government has announced that 1t VIII enter
into long-term contracts for the supplying OF tim
Der at moderate prices, and under such conditions
as are just, both to the purchaser and the pubic.

Two New Shapes.

with which the shape is covered In
some cases -long-haired silk beaver is
adopted, but silk beaver hats are ex-
ceedingly expensive and for ordinary
wear shapes covered with soft "our-
sine" are quite as effective.
The model sketched was in pure
white oursine, with wide band Of
sapphire-blue velvet twisted round the
top of the crown and tied in loose
bow at one side. Similar hats are
simply trimmed with a wide band Of
crochet work in some bright-cOlOred
wool, with a full tassel falling coquet-
+ishly over the right ear.
The second head shows model by
Lewis. This is one Of the newest
shapes, and it is half hat, half toque.
In front the brim is pressed into a
point, but at the back it is fat and
finished with large, fiat bow. No
trimming is introduced on hats of this
kind, and they are worn well pressed
down over the hair.
For wearing with simple tailored
suits this model would be specially
suitable and it might be made in some
bright colored velvet or panne; for ex-
ample, in emerald green or tomato red.
The crown is high and very full, with
a slight tendency toward extra width
at the back. For everyday wear such
a hat might be made of gray oursine,
or of golden-yelioW chamois cloth, with
a fiat black satin bow at the back.

GIRL MAKES NOVEL REMINDER
Artistic Results Achieved by Use of
Common School Slate and a Lit
tie Black Enamel.

One girl, who rejoices in more ar
tistic impulses than good memory
has made for herself the cutest little
reminder imaginable. The foundation
is slate like the youngsters use or
used to use in the lower grades of
school. With some black enamel she
gave the frames two coats until it
shone just like the lovely Oriental
lacquer work. Then from Japanese
tray she copied a few suggestive
sketches of Fujiyama, the famous
snow-capped mount, a pagoda or two
on the framework right over the black
enamel with some gray paint. To the
