wealth as his wife His experience all goes to prove that if man has got-in the parlance of the street the front he can get almost anywhere in this world. Take, for instance, MT. Skinner of the photo. play.
 MT. Skinner is a downtrodden starving cashier in big mercan- tile house until his wife makes him buy dress suit and spruce up. Then through his good clothes Skinner meets some rich people and is enabled thereby to put over 8 big business deal for his firm. Thus he gains raise in pay and finally a partnership in the business.
 There are millions of Skinners In this world. All they need is a dress suit to rise rapidly to fame and fortune. For, after all, good clothes-a mans appearance-plays a forceful part in modern business Don't you think so?"
 "Skinner's Dress Suit" is an adap- tation to the screen from the story of that title by Henry Irving Dodge which was published in the Satur- day Evening Post. It is whole some comedy of the most entertain ing type. Hazel Daly supports Mir Washburn. The play was directed by Harry Beaumont.

Washbatrn ShoaOs What Dress Suit WiLl Do-in Film.

Speaking of dress suits, Bryant Washburn, who is starred in Esssn avs delightful comedy feature "Skinner's Dress Suit" to be seen at the Palace Sunday night. tells the following story:
 "I had friend several years back who was in love with the daughter of wealthy farm imple- ment manufacturer" said Mr. Wash burn. My friends pocket-book was of slender proportions and he was having great difficulty in keep ing up the pace with his society as- 'sociates. His girl invited him to her reception one evening and he was at his wits end to provid. him. self with dress suit in which to attend the affair. He finally solved the problem by borrowing one which belonged to another lodger in the boarding house. When the latter. however. discovered that my friend had 'borrowed' his dress suit to attend the reception, he rushed forthwith to the girls home. There. before the entire assem- blaze. he charged my friend with having purloined his evening clothes, and demanded that ha take them on immediately"
 In "Skinner's Dress Suit" Mir. Washburn, as the ''P0or- boOb." has better luck. However, the point driven home by this amusing rhotO comedy is the same, as the screen star goes on to explain:

Only Few Towns Not Well Served and It Is Hoped to Find Remedy

MAIL TO GO WESTWARD
Contract Is Let for Contin- uation of Mail Serv- ice Formerly Supplied
 by Steamer Dora.

In a letter to Delegate Charles A. Sulzer, Otto Prager. Second Assist ant Postmaster General, declares that information received from var ious points in Alaska. in response to telegraphic inquiry, indicates that the present system of handling the mail as express and freight gives fairly good satisfaction. except at Juneau, Cordova and Valdez. and he hopes to remedy the situations at those places and at the same time save to the Government the advant, age of the cheaper transportation charges resulting in refusal to grant mail contracts under the old sys. tenn.
 MT. Prager also announces that arrangements have been completed for a continuation of the monthly mail service to the Westward points heretofore supplied by the Dora.
 The letter from Mr Prager was written August 24th., and sent to the Delegates office in the House Of flee Building. From there 1t was forwarded, and 1t finally caught him at Juneau.
 It follows:
 Hon Charles A. Sulzer,
 House of Representatives, My dear MT. Sulzer:
 Referring to your calls at this office. in regard to the transports tiOn of the mails between Seattle and points in Alaska by freight and express, and to your letter transmit. ting telegrams from the Governor of Alaska and Mr. J. w. Troy of Juneau. respecting the service. have the honor to inform you that the matter of providing the best prac- ticable service has received careful consideration and attention by this office.
 Advertisements were issued in the usual manner inviting proposals for continuance of contract service be- tween Seattle and various points In Alaska. but the two principal oper- ating companies refused to enter in- to contract which would require per formance of any fixed number of trips. While one of the companies did make a proposal for service on such trips as it's boats should make during the year at approximately the trip rates under the old contract. the other company would not obli- gate Itself to perform any specified service as to number of trips. seized ulstF or ports of call. and the rate named by it for such trips as 1t
The Alaska daily empire., 1918-09-21

might see fit to make was materially higher than the present cost and contained the stipulation that such rate apply only from trip to trip and be subject to revision upon notice being given to the Department.
 Tt was impossible. therefore, to renew the contracts for continuance of service as heretofore provided. IL was in these circumstances that ad vantage was taken of authority giv. en by Congress in connection with the appropriation Act to require the transportation companies to carry the mails under authorization of freight and express service; other wise the companies could not have been required to carry the mails Under this authorization the mails by the postmasters as freight and express must be carried when the boats are operated. The new authorization became effective August l, 1918, and full instructions were given the representatives of this office and the postmasters re- specting it's operation.
 Tt is noted that the telegram from Gov Riggs is dated July 31st and that from MT. Troy August 1st., which was before the beginning of service under the new authorization Since you were here last, on the goth instant, this office has made telegraphic inquiry at number of points with respect to the suffic- iency of the present service, and 1t appears that reasonable mail supply Is being provided, with the excep tion that a late closing of mail is not afforded for dispatch by such steamers as pass in the night. This is due to the fact that the express company closes its office at the close of regular office hours. It is stated that the express office closes at Juneau at 4:30 p. m. and at Val deg at 5 p. m. while at Anchorage, Cordova and Seward the mails may be dispatched several hours later. It is thought that this objection may be reasonably remedied by arranging to have the mails dispatched, on oc' casions when the steamer is due in the night, at the time of the closing of the postoffice or at least a late hour in the day. and action will be taken in the matter of effecting such remedy if possible.
 with respect to the delivery of mails upon the arrival of the steam. or, 1t is reported that such delivery Is fairly prompt. except in the report of the postmaster at Juneau which states that delivery is delayed sey- eral hours. That feature will also receive attention.
 Tt is thought that after the ser vice has been in operation for time 1t will work smoothly and prove sat isfactory. In any event this appears to be the only practicable arrange. ment under present conditions.
 Tn regard to the withdrawal of the steamer Dora from the route between Seward and Nushagak, which is referred to in Gov. Riggs telegram. have to state that prac- tically the same conditions prevailed on that route as on the other routes, except that the rate demanded by the company for continuance of such trips as 1t saw fit to make. were prohibitive. Fortunately another re- sponsible party. A. H. Smith of Portland, Oregon. consented to inau- gurate service on that route, and a contract has been awarded to him for continuance of monthly service
 Yours very truly,
