OLD7|MERS READY
 FOR OPENING BALL

Arrangements have been practi- cally completed for -he big dance and social evening to be held by the Nenana Igloo of Pioneers on the evening of Lincoln's birthday, February 12. Labor Union hall has been secured for the occasion and new musical feature will be intro duced in the shape of bass and snare drums together with symbals triangle and other traps which have been especially imported from the upper town for the dance. These instruments are part of the equip ment used by Tommy King, of the Fairbanks band, and Nenanaites can be assured that with these drums and the piano and violin, that a musical treat will be enjoyed, such as has not not been equalled here for some time. The orchestra will play all the latest Outside dance music. The hall will be decorated Pioneer style, and several new fea- ture dances will be run, such as "candle light" waltzes, etc. A light punch will be served throughout the evening and after midnight con- tinual buffet service will be run on the lower floor with plenty to eat for all. Artistic programs have been prepared for the dancers and will be splendid souvenirs of the first dance ever held by this igloo. The tickets will be held down to the minimum charge of one dollar in order that all may avail themselves of an opportunity to enjoy a musi- cal evening even if they do not desire to dance.
 The committee also wishes to draw attention to the fact that this is not a dress ball and that anything from overalls to dress suits will be in order, and the better the variety the more fun. Come as you please.
 Superintendent of Construction w.. l.. Packer will hold the Alaska Gen. tral one-half hour at Twenty-mile in order that the boys on the line may have an opportunity to come in for the fun.
 The hop will start after the nov ies are over and will continue as long as the crowd stays with it, as the orchestra do not have to go to work until eight o'clock in the morn ing.

ROADHOUSE AT NENANA
 CROSSING CHANGES HANDS

John Gilbert has bought out the former owners of this roadhouse and is running it himself at the present time. The roadhouse is just across the river from Nenana Crossing (43 Mile) and is conveniently situated for visitors to Lignite City, who may not be able to make the journey thither in one day. The journey from Nenana to the Crossing takes day, and vititors with limited time at their disposal, making the road house at the Crossing their head quarters, could make the journey to Lignite and back in one day.

N. The ceremony was performed in
the chapel CT st. Thomas Church by
the Rev. DR.. Ernest NJ. Stres, and be-
cause of the recent death of the BRIDES

Mrs. Richter's former marriage was
annulled following action brought by
Kieist against Mr.. Breitung in 1915.
Kieist alleged that his father-in-law
had alienated his wife's affections and
asked $25OOO0. He testified that the
young woman had taught him to drink
and smoke cigarettes, and had insisted
upon his marrying her.
y ;t, Ihe suit suit was dismissed and the
United States Court of Appeals in
April, 1916. held that Kleist had no
cause for action. The marriage was
annulled at Reno last July.
Preparations for yesterdays we'd
ding were conducted with the utmost
secrecy. Even at the church it was
denied that the ceremony was to be
performed until after it was over.
Mr.. Richter has been attached to tho
receiving ship Granite State. Follow
ing a wedding trip to California, he and
his bride will live at 815 Park Avenue.

Comforts Committee of Navy

and IO-IllOrrOW

Attention, knittcrsl There will be
a sale of wool at the headquarters Of
the comforts committee of the Navy
League, 405 Madison Avenue, to-day
and Friday at from 70 to S5 cents a
hank, loss of 80 cents hank ac-
cording to Mrs. Herbert l.. Satterce,
chairman of the committee The loss
will be worth while, she thinks, if it
encourages kntters to keep at work
1t is a mistake to think that the need
for warm garm ments-socks, sweaters,
helmets, convalescent bed socks, wrist
let's, etc.-ccased when the armistice
was signed. The league has been re-
ceiving many requests for them from
men in service since the wintry wealth
cr set in.
"Wool bought at this sale must be
used for the men in the service" said
MIS-. Satterlee, "but the garments made
from it need not necessarily be turned
in to US. We welcome any donations,
however, for the calls which come to
us are growing more instead of less
insistent, and we are having a hard
time to supply all the demands.
"The sale will start at 9 o'clock and
continue all day. We will have at
tractve bags, too, filled with wool and
needles, for Christmas gifts, the prices
ranging from So to $40, and these will
also be sold at less than cost"

Fish Culture Jobs
Offered by U. S. to
Women War Aids
Fighting Opens New Peace
Line of Employment for
Girls; Other Steps Taken
to Provide Steady Work

While rehabilitation plan for the
1'ooo,000 American soldiers in Europe
was being worked out in Washington
the smaller army of $4,000 women war
workers there was not verlooked bv
the government. According to infor-
nation from the Department of Labor,
representatives of the United States
Employment Service and for the War
Labor Policies Board held a special
conference when the time came for
the first group of women to be re-
leased. The names, qualifications and
nome addresses of all the women in
this group were listed. Within a few
hours every woman was assured of the
offer of position in or near the place
from which she volunteered.
The United States Employment Ser
vice has 900 offices in industrial CEN
tres throughout the country With the
machinery of the war equipment re-
Versed to meet reconstruction needs,
III Is believed that there will be no seri-
GUS problem of unemployment either
Tor women or soldiers.
Mrs. Helen Irwin will assist Miss
Mary Van kleeck, chic of the Women
IN Industry Service, as the representa-
tive OF negro women wage earners.
She VIII be associated with DR.. George
r. Haynes, director of negro economies.
Mrs Irwin is a graduate of Howard
university and of the Philadelphia
School of Domestic Science. Since the
war she has been working with the
Food Administrator, the Red Cross and
other organizations.
Fish culture is one Of the occupa-
tlons the war has pened permanently
to women. The work means increasing
the food supply and involves eight
nours outdoor work each day, winter
and summer
"Employes must be in good physical
ceondltlon,,p says the Chief Fish Gull
turist. During the winter months
there is great deal Of egg picking
TO be done. The workers can sit on
stools to do this. At hatcheries
equipped with batteries of Jars. those
IN charge of the eggs necessarily must
be on their feet much of the time. NV
opinion is that many women are well
htted to take entire charge of fish
cultural work, to perform the duties
OF toremen. if they will go through
the preliminary stages necessary to
obtain practical experience"
