ROUGH TRAVEL
 CIRCLE TRAIL

Johnny Palm, the Circle mail car rier, arrived at Chatanika Thursday night after one of the toughest trips that he has had since carrying the mail. Coming with him as a passen- ger was William Cook. of Eagle creek.
 Although MT. Cook secured pas sage as a first class passenger, the trails were so rough that he was compelled to snowshoes the entire distance. From the head of Me Manus creek into Chatanika it was nearly impossible to keep the sled in an upright position. Deep snow and drifts obliterated the trail to such an extent that 1t was only by a sense of direction and the land marks that he was enabled to make progress in the right direction. Palm will make the return trip on the arrival of the train at Chatanika with the mail.

TO BE CLEAN
 IS LUXURIOUS
 MATTER THERE

PARIS, Feb. 15.-Bathrooms and bathing facilities are a priceless luxury in many of the small French towns where American troops are bil leted. In consequence, hundreds oi officers and men are going without CT baths are being installed in some consider themselves lucky if they can get one hot bath a week. Show. CT haths are being installed>in some places but the demand far exceeds the supply.
 An artillery major was recently billeted in a small town which did not possess single serviceable bath tub. While supervising the trans. formation of barn into billet, he came across bathtub filled with potatoes. He learned that 1t had been brought there just before the war by an Englishman. who conten plated installing it in a country home The war interfered with his plans and the tub was stored lip the barn The owner of the barn converted 1t into a storage bin.
 After some persuasion the major bought the tub and had 1t cleaned and set up in his billet. Running water was an impossibility, but by |baotiru q large kettle full each ynOrn ing the major has been able to ob tain sufficient hot water for his morning bath. When the owner of the barn learned that the major was taking bath each morning he com mented on the funny ideas of those barbaric Americans" Other Ameri can officers in the same town have learned of the majors discovery and the bathtub Is now working on s full.time war basis.

CONCRETE SHIP

(ASsociated Pressi


 WASHINGTON. D. C., Mar. 15.- Reinforced concrete ships are ap. parently about to take large place in the solution of the shipbuilding difficulties. Chairman Hurley. of the federal shipping board. telegraphed the builders of the new 5,000-tOn concrete vessel which was launched yesterday at Pacific port to report immediately regarding the prospects for building more vessels.
 The ship will be given an early test on an ocean trip. and if 1t proves satisfactory. much of the gov. ernment's shipping program will be carried out by the concrete ship builders.
 The cost of material is sixty per cent that of vessels of steel con. struction. The period prior to launch, ing is reduced by two.thirds.

 EACH PURL A PRAYER
KNITTING HAS BECOME THE NATIONAL. SPORT
 THE WOMAN WHO DOES NOT KNIT IS RE- GARDED AS A NATURAL. PHENOMENON DOROTHY ROTHSCHII.D PARKER IN VOGUE)

women any more-not even patro- nizing remark about the weather or an intelligent appreciation of the lat est scandal. They utter only such broken fragments of speech as Do I purl or knit here?" "Is four inches enough for a border?" How many stitches do you cast on for a hel- metz" What do I do now?"
 The literature of knitting is as un- intelligible as it's conversation. Gen. tie reader, have you ever tried to puzzle out the accomplishment of a knitted garment according to one of those books of directions? If you had. you would no longer be gentle reader. You would be quite. quite wild. The talented authoresses of these books write them entirely in code, taking it for granted, in their noble. large.spirited way. that the amateur knitter has previously learn ed that code by heart. These books on knitting are the original problem novels. Each direction looks like the result of an attempt to play Dvorak's "Humoresque" on the type writer. Little gems like this appear continually: k 1, ,p2, p ?. k 2, slip 1 st, D 3, k 8, bo 27, p 2. k 2, re. peat from +. Asterisks are sprinkled generously through the page. There are as many asterisks In a book of knitting instructions as there are in an Elinor Glyn ncvel-only, in an Elinor Glyn novel, one knows what they mean.
 No, there is no help in these book. lets. The only way to find out how to make garment is to get explicit instructions from at least six ac complished knitters. and then go away to some quiet place and figure 1t out for yourself.
 knitters, According to Groups
 It's really amazing to see how much of her personality a woman can inject into her manner of knit ting; it's startling to find out how many ways there are of doing the same thing. Some women use theil needles with dexterous ease; others handle them as if they were pail of oars Some pass the worsted over the needle with quick turn of graceful wrist; others use q sort of Australian crawl stroke. Some purl faster than the eye can see; others do 1t with the movements of small child using knife ant fork for the first time. There are some who can gaze upon the sur rounding landscape, who can ever talk and laugh gaiy. while theil needles are ceaslessly busy. There are others. again. who never takt ] their eyes from their work. wht

INDICTMENT IN
 FOR W. H. SMITH

In the district court yesterday was returned an indictment against w. H. Smith. of Nenana, on the charge of embezzlement of funds entrusted to his care.
 Smith recently had hearing be- fore the commissioner at the lower river town and was bound over to the grand jury. The defendant. who is at Nenana. will be advised of the grand jury's report by his attorney. Cecil H. Clegg. He is at present out on bonds.
 At the request of District Attorney K. F: Roth. who appeared before the court after the indictment had been reported, the indictment was dis missed and resubmitted to the grand jury.

know nothing that Is going on 1T the world about them. who answer questions only with an abstracted knit two, purl four.' There are conscientious souls who knit each stitch with exquisite care, who pains takingly rip out almost invisible flaws. who do everything strictly ac cording to Hoyle. If the house were to burst into flames, and 8 scorched smoke.begrimed fireman were to ap pear at the window. shouting. Quick come down this ladder before the floor caves in!"-they would answer impatiently, Just minute, till finish this row." Then there are the adventurous knitters, who invent directions as they go along. who never dream of measuring. who never appear to pay the slightest attention to the ultimate ends of the garments they knit-yet who evolve absolutely fiawless article.
 But all the knitted articles are alas, not flawless. They are many knitters who seem to suffer under mistaken ideas of the minimum size of the men who enlist in the army or navy. They make child's size sweaters and socks, charming little trifles and beautifully made. but hardly serviceable. Then when the garments are refused, they become exceedingly bitter. They make caus tic remarks about the way the gov ernment is running this war, and feel generally that they have cast their purls before swine.
 You Can Really Knit Your Bit
 Amateur knitters really ought to .ake a few elementary lessons in anatomy. There are socks that re semble sleeping-bags, there are hel nets that are nothing but individual suffocations. there are sweaters that only require hooks at the ends to form excellent hammocks.
 But these, fortunately, are but few. Most of the knitted garments are really made with concessions to the human form. There is good reason for all this knitting-it is the way that every woman can do hel really worthy bit. For it means that every moment that would other wise be idle is turned to accoun, for our army and navy. Ones knit ting can be carried everywhere with one and there are surprisingly many odd moments, through the long day when one can accomplish TOW ol two. And each row means just that much more comfort for the "Sammies"-and. therefore. just that much less comfort for the kaiser.

PRECAUTI0N TO PREVENT GREAT
 LOSS IS TAKEN

PHILADELPHIA, Feb 26.--Strin. gent regulations preclude the possi- bility of an explosion at this port similar to the recent Halifax disaster. according to statement obtained from the Philadelphia Maritime Ex- change IL was learned that recom- mendations in q report issued by the British Government Commission in Canada to prevent recurrence of conditions which permitted the ca. tastrophe there have been in effect here for some time.
 A collision of explosive-laden ships at the busiest point in the Della. paratively narrow. would wreck both Philadelphia and her Jersey neigh bor, Camden. The loss of life would be appalling. With these facts in mind port officials said they had made it impossible for steamer to Lad or anchor with a cargo of any dangerous kind near the main water front of the city.
 Ships are not permitted to load even shells within the city limits while T. N. T. and other dangerous explosives are placed aboard ships at isolated piers far from human habt' tations. According to officials of leading powder company most of the high explosives manufactured in the Delaware valley are shipped from New York and Canadian ports

the industry in order to provide the absolutely necessary furniture for the poorer classes. Hospitals and other mu- nicipal institutions serve as gathering places for furniture belonging to de- ceased Berliners and the collected furniture is repaired and put in shape in municipal carpenter shops. Recent Berlin papers add that the municipality is also having designs made for simple suites of living room and bedroom furniture and has applied to the army authorities to supply the necessary woods to make the desired pieces at moderate cost

You simply must knit, that's all there is to 1t. It's come to the point where. if you don't. you won't have any friends. The woman who does not knit is dismissed contemp- tuously as-well, all right, of course. if you care for that sort of life. If one ventures out without her knit ting bag, she is regarded as prac- tically nude. We knit from the cold gray dawn to the dense black night; We knit between dances and between courses-there is even rumor that some enterprising manufacturer Is evolving knitting bags of rubber. for use in the bath tub. We knit all sorts and conditions of articles. for coast defense. for home defense, but most of all for self defense. The woman who does not knit is just about as popular as if she were a German.
 The moment one puts aside the sports of other days and takes up knitting, she automatically becomes a member of a huge sorority. By the sign of the knitting needle does one woman recognize another as a friend. Knitting Is the great leveler. The bitterest enmities are forgotten In discussing how many inches an average sailor ought to measure amidships. Women who have lured away each others cooks--even wo- men who have copied each others hats-speak again over some vital matter of turning a heel Strange women, of whose existence one has never heard so much as rumor, corner one and ask the most per sonal questions about how many stitches one binds off for the neck. Friends presume on their intimacy by probing deep into ones private methods of casting on. and the mer. \ est acquaintances strive to discover the intimate details of ones home hfe-how one joins the worsted There is no privacy for a knitter; she can have no more secrets than an artists model.
 They speak a strange language, these knitters. To one who has but recently entered their charmed cir. cle. 1t is sometimes extremely diff. cult to get the idiom. They speak of "purling" and setting up" and binding oil" and all such strange operations. They tell strange stories of slipping stitches, of picking up stitches. of widening and narrowing and splicing. Technical terms fall as glibly from their lips as they do from those of a confirmed invalid. They count necessarily and they lose. count eternally. f

The lads had left home in the late forenoon. When there was no sign of their return by nine P. M, Mar shal Thos. Long, Donald's father, gathered a party and with lanterns fared forth into the night. The later snow had almost obliterated the dog tracks and footprints. as we'll as the dent made by the run ners of the sled. The party was almost exhausted and dreaded the worst. Coming upon the Ten-mile road house, Long, more as a matter of form than with the hope of get ting any clew. they stopped and in quired whether the proprietor had seen the boys. The latter led the way to the hunks, where, curled in deep slumber. lay two tired. worn out boys. The entire community had been apprehensive of the worst, and 1t was no small relief to find that the lads had, by the merest chance Gas they later explained) found their way to shelter.

BATTLE PLANES
 FOR AMERICANS
(Assoc lated Press)

WASHINGTON. D. C.. Mar. 15.- Figures laid before the house mili tary committee by the war depart ment on the---war situation today show that American built battle planes will be in France by July next in sufficient numbers to insure adequate air protection of all the held at that time by the Americans. The American airplane industry is progressing far ahead of the original schedules. and planes will be available for the big Ameri can army when they are needed.
 Representative Kuhn. of California after the meeting. said that the revelations made by the war depart ment make 1t clear that the country Is still unawake to the enormity oi the task which lies ahead of 1t.
