Here is simple frock which will please the miss in her teens. It is made of that most practical of all fabrics, navy serge. The skirt has two clusters of narrow tucks. A conventional design of bright beads trims the neck and satin belt. The belt has a bow at the back and at the back of the neck there is a satin collar which can just be seen in the front.

"The Martial Adventures of

"WegI Miss This Old War"

Three men seated on plum jam box during a terrific bombardment Trees are falling, buildings crumblinS, the landscape heaving, and Bert says, "Alf-we'll miss this old war wen it's over." As the shells strike nearer and nearer and a great crater yawns at their feet they crawl into it. are all but buried alive by the dirt from another shell, and Bert eXclaims, Say, Ali, scare mel got the 'iccoughs." And so it goes for a whole evening, while Bert. making love to an interminable string of girls at each place where he is billeted at the front, gives away scores of precious lockets with his mothers hair in them, and Ali tries forever, unavailingly, to make his cigarette lighter work, and Old Bill dreams of his wife at home who keeps d pulp
 The prohibitionist in America would probably insist that she keep a soda fountain or a woman's exchange; but no other alterations would be needed to get the play over the footlights in any English speaking town on the globe.
 The British soldiers crowd the house where The Better ole" is given, but their friends don't like it. The raw rollick of the game with death, which is really Shakespearean in it's direct ness and it's horse play-like the talk of the soldier in Henry "" or the chaffing of the grave -diggers in Ham let" or the common people Tn any or Shakespeare's plays, offends the Brit ish home staying sense of propriety, and old ladies and gentlemen write to the Times about it. But the boys in Khaki jam the theater and howl their approval.
 German Music Tolerated
 Curiously enough in musical pro- grams one finds no prejudice against German music in London as one finds it in Paris To get Beethoven in Paris one had to lower the windows, close the shutters, pull down the shades and pin the curtains tight. At the symphony concerts in London one can hear not | only Beethoven, but Wagner. who is almost modern in his aggressive Teu- tonism. But the English have little music of their own. and so long as they have to be borrowing they seem to bOr- row impartially of all their neighbors the French the Slavs, the Germans and the Italians. Indeed. even when British opinion of Russia was at its ebb, the London Symphony orchestra | put in an afternoon with Tschai- covsky's Fourth Symphony. And yet | if. in a few months we could form even a vague notion of the public minds o1 | England. and of France, one might say | that England seemed more implacable | than France. In France, where ono | heard no music but French and Italian music in the concerts, at the parks, ir | opera, one heard a serious discussion going on among school teachers about | the history to be taught after the war

LAYING TRACK
 TOWARD GRADE
 JUST SURVEYED

NENANA, June 11.-Today work was commenced on the laying of a switch on the main line toward the new projection. which was re. gently surveyed. The point at which the work commenced is between trestles and 5 and is about three miles out of town.
 The work being done will be ex- tended until it ties into the new survey. It is not known how far the track being laid will be car. ried out. but it will be extended far enough to meet the needs of the survey parties that will be work. ing on the new projection and will be handy for instant use should it be decided to carry out the new work now being consideredr This that the new line will be carried out and the road built there, as
 
 construction. The object of the new line is to overcome the obstacle of Lost slough, which in the past has caused considerable damage to the work already done.
 In stating the need for the new line MT. Browne said that the re- curing floods and the damage done to the roadbed and the property of the Alaskan Engineering commission warranted the new line being con. structed.
 It is also reported that the dams built at the head of Lost slough to turn the water back into the Nenana river have all been washed out and that the same condition would pre- vail on the next high water as here. tofore, which fact would make the change necessary.

 IN NENANANOW

NENANA. June 1.-The commit. tee charged with the drawing up of the resolution protesting against the present management of the town. site has the necessary papers drawn and will submit them to meeting of the property holders tonight -
 The present spirit of dissatisfac. ton has spread to large number of property owners, and it is ex. pected that large attendance will be on hand at the meeting.
 Since the last meeting the town has divided itself into factions, one part of which is against the present incumbent and the other part of. fering him their support From all indications the meeting will evolve itself into factional fight, and a red hot time can be looked for before the meeting adjourns.

SHE PREDICTED
 ENEMY VICTORY
 AND WAS FINED

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. June H. Arrested on the charge of preying on the minds of women. Anna Gaetz, an alleged clairvoyant who has been persistently predicting victory for the German arms, was convicted to. day and fined $10O. The choice was given her of either paying the fine or serving 50 days in jail. Five alleged clairvoyants who have been doing thriving business among the feminine relatives of American sol diers and sailors by predicting the outcome of the war were taken into custody
 Four of these would-be prophets foretold that the allies would win the great world war. The sentence imposed upon these was consider. ably lighter than that given Anna Gaetz. The four who claimed to have supernatural knowledge of the allies winning the war Were given sentences ranging from s2 to $50 or choice of from 10 to 25 days
 These alleged clairvoyants were taken into custody after numerous complaints had been made to the police officials regarding their bus. ness. Anna Gaetz persisted in fore telling for her victims that the Ger mans were sure to be victors in the war. Many women who had gone to her in an endeayor to gain knowledge of the future and who placed implicit faith in her predic- lions were almost driven to be ner- vous wrecks by letting the alleged clairvoyants statement prey on their minds.
 A determined effort is to be made by the police officials of the city to stop the practice of many fake for tune tellers.

TO PLAY BALL
 FOR LIBRARY

A movement is on foot among the business and professional men Of Fairbanks to play game of base ball for the benefit of tho library Last year a game was played fo" the same purpose and the proceeds aided materially in keeping the in stitution from closing its doors to the public.
 The managers representing the two teams are busy selecting the material for the lneups. and from present indications the game will be good one. None of the players that have appeared this year will be allowed to play, in order that neith- CT side will have the advantage. An other strong feature in the baseball line may be put on that will be a surprise to the public. On the final arrangements being made this fea- ture will be announced, as will the time of the game.

COAL SHORTAGE
 THREATENED IN
 UNITED STATES

PHILADELPHIA, May 15-Millions of consumers throughout the coun. try are experiencing delay in the filling of orders they placed for an thracite coal since spring opened This in spite of the fact that the production now is the greatest in the history of the country. A cir. cular issued by the anthracite com mittee of the United States fuel ad ministration explains the situation It says:
 Many complaints are being re ceived from state administrators that buyers of anthracite coal can not obtain any satisfactory informa tion relative to their supply from parties with whom they normally conduct thei business.
 "One of the producing companies is answering inquiries as follows: TO secure the most equitable dis tribution of anthracite coal and to provide that greatest satisfaction during the coming year, it has been arranged by the anthracite commit tee that the dealers shall secure their coal from the sources of sup plies that furnished it during the coal year 1916.17. Therefore, if you will take the matter up with the company which supplied you in that period you will be given every con sideration.
 The foregoing reply answers this question satisfactorily and, if you agree, we would be pleased to have you make replies along the same line."
 That the big work of co-ordinat ing the distribution of anthracite may be handled with the best sys tenn and dispatch, the anthracite committee has asked that all loca fuel administrators shall take up any question as to deliveries through their respective state fuel admins trators instead of dealing direct witf producing companies.

ing public sentiment in favor of en. larging the herds of reindeer in Alaska by the purchase and importa. tion of. many thousands from Siberia and Lapland, and this sentiment should be fostered and quickened by wide publicity.
 And is not such an industry of immediate interest in these war times? Supposing the war should last for several years, may not this new source of meat supply, in great reindeer herds, be "God-send" and assist in replacing the vanishing beef? Alaska has reindeer feeding grounds for 2O,OOO,0OO. Besides will assist in populating, developing and creating an industry in Alaska that insures permanent meat supply to the whole American people.
 While surveying and mobilizing the resources of America might not Alaska be included so that this one item-reindeer-may be utilized for the welfare of the whole people. Alaska has and is giving to the worldN many forms of wealth, but none of more vital importance than the one she is now attempting to foster and give-the reindeer. Is thic all w0rfb whi1o9
 Somehow I am persuaded to be- lieve, and feel, that a day is com ing in Alaska when her people, then numbering a million and more of actual. permanent home dwellers will assemble for the purpose of designating men and women, who have done special and signal service on behalf of Alaska. as worthy of memorial monuments. as a token of gratitude.

BEAVER MEAT
 GOOD EATING,
 IS ASSERTED

ST. PAUL, Minn.. May l5.-W. T. Cox, state forester of Minnesota, who is one of Minnesota $ ardent champions of conservation and game propagation, is threatening to be- come the rival of the man who first told the public to eat whale. MT. Cox is trying to conserve the beaver He says:
 Protect the beaver from the ruthless hunter, but when you do kill him, wear his skin and eat his flesh"
 Beaver propagation has been flour ishing in Minnesota for several years and if these fur bearing ani- mals continue to multiply at the same rate, it is possible that broiled beaver may eventually become a favorite Minnesota dish.
 Rigid game laws pEotect these ami. mals and according to MT. Cox there are now more than a thousand beav- CTS in Itasca park, state preserve about the head waters of the Miss. issippi. It has become necessary to thin them out. Many of them weigh 40 pounds and the big fellows tip the scales at sixty, so the forester declares. MT. Cox wants the doomed animals to serve a double purpose -clothe and feed their quota.
 "The flesh Is excellent-it tastes like beef," he said.
