CREDITS OLD EGYPT
FOR MODERN STYLES
Speaker at Association of Mu-
seums Says Ideas Of Dress
Are Not New
SOME FROM PHILIPPINES

"Thcre is nothing new under the
sum-
Nope, not even women's dress.
If any one had told Milady when she
purchased them that all those colors she
has been displaying had come from some
Egyptian mummy, some Indian or
Filipino of the past, chances are she
would have risen up in righteous in
dignation and stamped her pretty foot
in anger But no one. did, so she
bought.
Now. however. the truth is out. II it
hadn't been for the museums wherein
lie mummics, and, life size rcpliCas of
Indians, and lots of other things, there
wouldn't be any color to styles and
therefore no styles for Milady.
It's the old story of blaming it on
Adam or Eve according to your sex.
According to DR.. II. ]. Spindcn, of
the American Museum of Natural His
tory of New York, silhouettcs of
womcn's costumes which proved pop
ular with the public during the war and
now, were adopted from garments of the
Indians, the Peruvian roncho, the
Philippine blouse and the Koryak fur
coat of uorthca stern Siberia in the col
lections of the museum.
But the mere fact that Doctor Spin e.
den mentioned the places from which
came the colors revealed the hidden
truth, according to Mrs Very Prude,
who. still wears a hoop skirt, purchased
in 1861 or thCreabouts.
That porcho, she said (having trav-
cled somewhat), is nothing but folded
blanket with slit in it for the head
to pass through. and most of the time
it only drops down to an inch or 50
below the knees. And that Philippine
blouse-wcll, mostly in the Philippines
they wear only the blouse.

LIMIT TRAVEL TO EUROPE
Pre-War Basis Will Not Be Resumed
Until All Troops Are Home

Americans planning visits to Euro
pean battlefelds must forego this pleas
ure during the coming summer. Pas
senger traffic will not be placed on a
prewar basis until all American troops
have been brought home. This state
ment was issued today by the Cunard
Line.
According to the War Department,
members of the army of occupation will
not all be carried home until next Sep
tember. Meanwhile, only such space
will be given to civilian passenger
traffic as is not needed to accommodate
troops.
Control exercised in the issuance of
passports has tended to discourage
civilian foreign travel. The Cunard
Line announces that it will have sew
eral pleasure routes open by the spring
of 1920.

island Of Afognak, on South Coast Of
Alaska, Peculiarly Adapted for
the Purpose.

One Of the most picturesquely in
teresting parts Of our national do
main is large island off the south
coast Of Alaska. 1t is called Afognak
and is about IS miles long by 40 in
width, with very irregular shore line
and deeply indented by bays.
It is the property Of the government,
and in 1892 was set aside by President
Harrison as game and fish reserve.
The important purpose that it serves
is that Of a preserve for salmon. all
the finest varieties Of which run up its
stream in great numbers at the breed
Ing season to spawn.
Afognak is mountainous island,
Of volcanic origin, its loftiest peak
rising to an elevation Of 1900 feet.
In the interior are a number Of large
lakes. which are the breeding
grounds of the salmon. One Of
these, Letnik lake, is seven miles long,
and on it's shore is located big gov.
ernment fish hatchery.
In the days Of long ago. before the
United States bought Alaska, the sal
mon fishery Of Afognak was operated
by the Russian-American company,
which established on the island COL

descendants today compose the native

The period from 1914 through 1917

ed as a distinct epoch in the coal in
dustry, Of which the year 1917 repre-
sented only one section, but section
which, if not the most remarkable for
its achievements. was at once the most
chaotic. and the most momentous In the
history Of the industry.
In response to the unprecedented de-
mand the bituminous mines produced
551, 1,79O,563 tons, or nearly 10 per cent
more than the output Of the year be-
fore. The anthracite output was 99,-
611,S11 net tons, an increase over 1915
Of 1877 per cent. The total output Of
both hard and soft coal was thus over
650,OOO,OO0 tons.
This record output was accomplish
ed by a labor force Of 603, 3,143 men in
