CARRYING THE four MINUTE MESSAGE
In ALASKA, THE Land OF DISTANCES

Alaskan Four Minute Men tack
led a mans size job when they
undertook to carry the message
across $50, 400 square miles of
territory, frozen 8 feet deep dur
ing the greater part of the year,
and never easy to travel over be-
cause of lack of transportation
systems, to reach some $4,000
people, including Indians and Es-
kimos, scattered all over this land
of dazzling distances.
The Job needed doing, however
and there were plentyof patriotic
volunteers found ready and able
to tackle it.
R. E. Robertson, Territorial
chairman, has built up a wonder
fully efficient organization in each
of the four judicial divisions of
his vast proconsulship.
Each division is under the d.
rection of a divisional chairman,
who has his local chairmen just
as in the States.
H. P. Faulkner of Juneau, d.
reefs the first division; G. j. Lo-
men of Nome, the second division;
Thomas S. Scott of Cordova, the
third division; and John A. Clark
of Fairbanks, the fourth division.
Down to the date of the last
mail there were 81 local chairmen,
9 field representatives whose
functions will be dealt with later,
80 Four Minute Men to fraternal
organizations, 8 public schools u.s.
ing the Four Minute plan, and
some $50 Four Minute Men, in
ending three ladies.
Because of the distances be-
tween small settlements, Mr.. Rob-
ertson has enlisted the services of
nine experienced takers who are
known as the field representatives
and who are making four-minute
addresses on the trails, on boats,
and in the road houses along their
itineraries.
Some of these settlements get
no more recent news than six
months old; and it may be mag
ined that the need for such a SER
vice of information is very
marked.
Alaskans love the movies"
every bit as much as their brothers
in the States; even the Indians
and the Eskimos are constant at

theaters with which every stable
center of population is provided.
The very best of the feature
films find a way into these Alas
kan Businesses, while the theaters
themselves compare very favor
ably with those in the large cities
in the States. AS for the quality
of the four-minute speeches given
during the intermissions, it may
we'll be said that the invigorating

climate puts even more pep and
punch into them than usual.
There are all kinds of climates
in Alaska; in some sections, par
ticularly on the coastwise slopes
of the Alaska range, the residents
may be obliged to pass from thei,
homes to the theaters through
snow tunnels. Snow to a depth
of 60 feet has been known to fail
during a winter season.
On the southern coast the Their
mometer rarely reaches zero and
the winters are pleasant and mild;
in marked contrast to the real in
terror, the Yukon Valley country
for example, where the temper
allure sometimes descends to 80
below. In all sections, however,
wherever there are theaters, the
entire population turns to them
eagerly to relieve the tedium of
long and dreary nights or to break
the monotony of the months of
lonely prospecting among the
mountains; and so the four. min.
ute message is brought to them
all.
Where there are no theaters,
the Four Minute Men have not
hesitated to avail themselves of
all kinds of ready-made audiences
to present their patriotic appeals:
Balls, parties, teas, games, gath
erings Of all sorts and conditions
of people, gladly pause to hear
the four minute message of the
Four Minute Men of Alaska.
Even out among the frozen soil
tudes they go behind their twing-
ing teams of huskies; or up and
down the great rivers to distant
camps and fisheries; wherever
there are Garcias, these intrepid
patriots will he found carrying the
message of courage and convic-
ton, of service, and of sacrifice.
Results have crlEed big in sales
of War Savings Stamps and of
Liberty Bonds; while food conser-
walton has been carried to such a
degree that even the natives deny
themselves sweets, the supreme
remuneration on their part.
The Four Minute Men of Alas
ka are making good on a mighty
difficult job.
The above was taken from the
Four Minute Mems News and
shows what the world thinks of
the Four Minute Mems part in
winning the war program.
Locally w. H. Warren is the
chairman of the Four Minute Men.
During the Liberty Loan and Red
Cross drives speeches were de-
livered at the Rex Photoshow.
Besides this there was a four min
ute address delivered at each
meeting of each of the three fra
ternal organizations of Wrangell.

You haven't seen the new French
magazines that came in this morning.
You'll find them up in Shelia May
nard's studio. There are some stun
ming things in them. Better run up
and look them over" said Julie, pick
ing up a chic little red and blue tri-
corne and setting it well down over
her chestnut brown resses.
Before I had chance to leave the
room, she continued:
This hat being military, reminds
me of the fact that Madame wants
you to come to the grey room in
half an hour to be there while Miss
Leslie has her final fitting.''
I smiled, knowing why. Madame
wanted me to see Miss Leslie in her
finished costume. The day she came
to the studio and said that she wanted
suit and hat of the severest military
lines, I couldn't help being a bit sur
prised. She was the last person in
the world one would suspect of lean
ing toward anything extreme. Madame
caught the look of amazement on my
face as Miss Leslie said:

tary, not a costume in which the mil
itary tone is merely suggested. It
must have all the features of a uni
form"
you shall have exactly what you
want. There will be no doing things
by halves where your military cos
tune is concerned" promised Ma
dame, and the fair Katherine Leslie
left the studio thoroughly happy.
Then Madame turned to me, say
ing:
''You think she is making a mistake
to want anything as severe as a mill
tary suit, because she is neither strfk-
ing looking nor above the average
height. But you wait and see what ]
am going to design for her. I'll no;
let you have a look at it until it is fin
ished.'
went to the fitting room when the
half hour was up and found Madame
with Miss Leslie arrayed in all he1
military glory. To say I was taken
off my feet" by the remarkable
change in her appearance is but put
ting it mildly. She had snap to
her that had been totally lacking be-
fore, but then I knew it was due en-
tirely to the costume.
Madame had used a cloth of me-
dunn weight of a splendid tone of
'aviateur" blue for the suit. There
was a slight suggestion of the En-
pire period about it. yet it was thor
oughly modern.
The coat was just below hip length
with a nipped in waist line. Below
it 1ared and rippled just like an Of
f1cer's uniform. I sew instantly thai

ETIQUETTE

A mother should announce her
daughters broken engagement at
once, to their most intimate friends,
either verbally or by note. The
friends should be careful never to al
lude to it in the the presence of the
young lady.
Mrs. N. IA lady should always
appear in street clothes in the dining
room of a hotel for breakfast. She
need not wear wraps, but she must
be suitably dressed for public appear
ance. She must never wear any sort
of negligee outside of her room
She may always wear hat in the
dining room, even though she is
staying in the hotel unless she is one
of party of people dining together,
in evening dress and Undated. At
many of the resort hotels, the women
always dine in evening dress and
without hats; but many things are
different at resort hotels.

CROWN,
WAS EXECUTED

1t was 1854 years ago today that
Lady Jane Grey was beheaded in the
tower of London. at the age of II.
Lady Jane was pretty girl of royal
blood, being the great-granddaughter
of Henry VIII, and her accomplish
ments were many. King Edward
VI, in consequence of his aversion to
the Catholic principles of his sister,
Mary, was inclined to bequeath the
crown to Lady Jane. Knowing this,
the Duke of Northumberland arrang-
ed a marriage between the girl and his
young son, Lord Dudley. The duke
then prevailed upon the monarch to
settle the crown upon his daughter
in-law. after which King Edward,
who was under the care of one Of
Northurn berland's creatures oblig-
ingly did. Yielding to the entreaties
of her husband and father, Lady Jane
accepted the crown. The people,
howeverfi declared for Queen Mary,
and Lady Jane and her husband were
arrested and executed.

airy in the Springtime," and '"The
Fields of Ballyclare,' two poems of
Mr.. McCarthy's, that have been set
to music, were admirably sung by Al
bert Lapke. At the close of the even
ing the quartet led the audience in
the singing of The Star Spangled
Banner.
Having come to America when a
lad of Is, Mr.. Mccarthy had to strug-
gle hard in the land of his adoption
to achieve success. These early ex-
periences have made him deeply
sympathetic for the unfortunate of
our land. His poem, 1.-THE Fellow
Vino Fights Alone" is full of this
feeling. The poets deep thought
and intense feeling about the social
evils of our day was illustrated by
his poem entitled The Graduate,
which portrays the life history of the
boy who graduates from the school
of the streets to end his days in pris-
on stripes. The poem is a ringing
denunciation of the self-complacency
Of Iaw-abiding citizens who put all
the blame on the unfortunate in
dividua1. All are equally to blame
in the mind of the poet. A group
of patriotic poems brought the read
ings to a close-a poem commemora-
tive of Lincoln, America First and A
song for the Flag.
The lecture was given under the
auspices of the Catholic Charitable
Bureau. Rev. NJ. ]. Judge, super
visor, presided and introduced the
speaker in a, brief but graceful tribute
to the poet.
Mr.. Mccarthy is at present editor
of The North American Teacher. He
was for a number of years associate
editor of The Sacred Heart Review
He is a member of several exclusive
literary and social clubs in Boston, in
Guiding the Twentieth Century Clur
and the Puddingstone Club. He is a
member of the Knights of Columbus
Ancient Order of Hibernians and
many other fraternal organizations
where he is always a welcome visitor

ner.

liked the perfectly plain skirt that
fitted Miss Leslie to perfection. It
was of medium width and above
ankle length. The belt was trim
med with two rows of braid.
The hat, however, was the pre-
dominating feature of the costume.
Madame had adapted the lines of an
old French helmet, worn, think
about the time of the Franco-Prus-
sian war. The crown was of blue
velvet slightly darker in tone than
the suit, while the visor and chin
strap were of black velvet Buttons
were also used to attach the chin
strap to the sides of the helmet.
This brimless hat with the hIsn
straight crown also added to Miss Les
lies height.
Madame Frances gave me time to
to get the full effect of the costume.
Then she said:

endure. Men and women are to do.
as well as they possibly can, the du-
ties that lie before them, and espe-
cially those duties imposed by govern
ment.
THE battle line depends upon the
nation and what the nation produces.
Men must work and women must
work to produce all things necessary
Men must be frugal and women must
be frugal, so that our soldiers and our
Allies, who are also our soldiers, may
have wherewith to fight.
"Where the occasion demands it,
women will do the work their men
did. But, most of all, women must
do that which it will be the duty of
most to do. We must carry on the
ordinary duties as well as we possibly
can; denying ourselves luxuries, and
sometimes necessities that our coun-
trymen may be strong for victory.
There must be specialization. One
woman will go as a nurse; another
as an ambulance driver; another will
play her part in an ammunition fac
tory Most will serve in their own
homes, and will have the task of max
ing those homes models of frugality,
economy and efficiency.
This sort of sacrifice. is part OF
woman's nature. 1t is less a sacrifice
than a seed time. It is a sowing
which will fructify in a great harvest.
Most of woman's sacrifice is for to-
morrow Woman is but the vehicle OF
tomorrow. Physiologically, intellect
ually, spiritually woman is the servi-
tor of the generations to come. In
tuitively she knows better than man
knows that the reason for existence
is that distant goal, known to God
only, toward which humanity is NOV
| ing, now and always"

TOO MUCH SAVING
BAD AS TOO
LITTLE

IN contrast to housekeepers who
think that food saving in small
amounts is not worth the effort re-
quired, there is the woman, found far
more frequently, who is so anxious
to play her part in the national food
conservation program that her zeal
sometimes carries her near the nutri-
tive danger line.
The United States food administra.
ion asks that we eat wisely as we'll
as without waste"
To eat wisely means to substitute
to a large extent other foods for those
which are peculiarly fitted for ship
ment abroad to our soldiers and the
allies. But it also means that the
housekeeper fust use intelligent care
in giving her family the right kinds
of food and in the right proportion.
The danger line is the line between
a days food ration containing body
building, heat producing, and body
regulating foods, and a ration where
some of those necessary elements are
missing or are not furnished in large
enough quantities.
Conservation is not a question Of
from the menu. It is a matter OF
using meat, wheat, sugar, fats an6
milk carefully; and of substitutin;
for them to a certain extent Other
foods having the same value in the
diet, but not fitted for shipmen-
abroad.
For sugar the housewife can otter
substitute syrups, honey, dates, raisin:
and molasses.
She should learn to use cornmeal
barley, oatmeal and rye in bread
making. Potatoes can be made tt
take the place of white bread to {
certain extent
To save meat she can serve fish
oyters, poultry, rabbit and othe
game. In addition there are cheese
lbeans, peas and nuts, which can b.
served in attractive ways and Civ
the same food value as meat.
Vegetable oils and other fats shout
take the place of butter in cooking.
The wise hpusekeeper will not at
tempt to limit the plain food of he
growing children. She will give Their
plenty of whole milk.
That she may not overstep the nu
tritive danger line the housekeepe
should every day see that her faInil
has something from each of thes
groups:
Fruits and vegetables.
Milk. eggs, poultry, fish, meat G
meat substitutes.
starchy foods, such as breads, pc
tatoes, cereals, etc.
Sweets.
Fatty foods.

The chief sacrifice demanded of wo-
man in war time is that she hold her
self ready, while her men1oFk are
away at war, to take their places in
industry and do a double duty of Ia
Dor and love until peace returns, Mrs.
William P. Kirk of Bridgeport said
yesterday in a Made-in-Connecticu
War interview with women obtained
by the Connecticut State Council Of
Defense. Mrs. Kirk said:
1T is easy to know what spirit of
sacrifice ought to be shown by wo-
men in war time. This has been de-
termined by the process of immemo-
rial ages. The spirit of sacrifice for
war is a spirit of sacrifice to the ut
termost. 1t is the spirit exhibited by
the man who goes to war with the
purpose to die for his country if that
he necessary; with the purpose to en-
dure all prtvation, all wounds, all
pain, all anguish, unf1inchingly.
1.-THE spirit of sacrifice is prefer
mined for women by the nature of
war. They are to give their hus-
bands, their sons, those who love them
and whom they love. They are to
give In the spirit of ungrudgirg sac
rifice; they are to stand dry-eyed and
cheerful as their men go to camp,
cantonment and trench.
1.-The form that sacrifice should take
is more difficult. Generally it will
consist in doing willingly and eff
GENTLY what requires to be done. 1
speak Of those lesser sacrifices which
constitute duty for the women after
their men lave been taken; or wo-
mans duty before her men have been
taken.
I'm its uttermost expression, war
requires of men not more than IL or
is per cent. for the direct sacrifice of
battle, and the line behind the battle
front. The great sacrifice women
must endure is limited in the same
proportion.
1.-THE sacrifices imposed upon men

lie looks in military togs?" Like q
fashion drawing. never saw any
one look smarter. There isn't a flaw
to be found from her head to her
feet answered. r
when Miss Leslie had rolled away
toward the avenue in her limousine,
Madame remarked:
you didn't think it possible for
her to look so stunning in anything
did you? Which simply goes to
prove that to many a woman military
models give a smartness no other
styles can bestow.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

= Put a narrow lace on dust ruffles
or white skirts; looks dainty, also
save the ruffle.
Never hang silk or lace waists on a
line to dry. Squeeze dry and fold in
a bath towel until dry enough to
press, then press on the wrong side
very carefully, being sure to keep
good shape, as that couuls.
When a hem on any article Is
frayed cut off the whole hem and
rehem it: it pays in looks.
When possible, mend all clothing
before putting into wash-especially
hose.
Wash all glasses in warm soapy
water. Rinse in warm water con-
tanning a little b1ueing, also ammonia
then let drain instead of wiping with
towel.
Drain sausage fat and use it in gin
gerbread; it's fine.
