out into the broad sunny avenue. His
sisters words came as a climax to an
already unhappy week, and mother,
his real friend, was up In her room,
with a new little head reposing In The
curve Of her arm.
"A boy! James heart had leaped
when he heard the words; but now 1t

Then he had met his brother John,
for whom he had a deep feeling Of ad-
miration.
"Hello, son" Johns, greeting had
been.
James had tried to laugh at the Joke.
but a little lump In his throat
checked the laugh. Next he met his
father, and asked for his weekly al

money, then looked him over. with a
slow. disconcerting gaze.

father, with q kind pat on James
shoulder, but James had swallowed an !
other hard lump In his throat.
he wandered back to the house and
into the library, where sat his sixteen
year-old sister, Ruth, and her chum,
Irene. James sat down, unlimited, to
be sure. He admired Irene, and liked
to watch her long lashes. Ruth gave
him one look, then:

His cheeks burned, for Irene's eyes

'Do you want a boy to deliver

You're Just In time, James. We're

James did so, and the wagon start

"Here, boy" the driver commanded,

James took the box flled with gro

was putting breathlessly when he came
down. After hours Of climbing, the
day ended, leaving him with weary
feet, skinned knuckles, and every bone
in his body having a separate ache.
He had pocketed his so cents and was
on his way home. He stopped at the

MILADY'S TRAPPINCS
 BECOME MORE COSTLY


 LONDON, Aug. 26 Correspondence of Associated Press) The trappings which the fashionable EnglishWoman must have are becoming more luXuri- ous almost every week, the latest instance being the dictum that um- brella and handbag must match.
 Tortoise-shell and ivory fittings are the favorite choice for silk umbrellas and bags, and, with ivory, bottle green silk is liked for it's old-world effect.
 Both ivory and tortoise-shell are costly, which may account for their popularity but ivory is the higher priced An umbrella fitted With solid stick, surmounted by ball, will cost $50, and a bag as much more. Both umbrella and bag are, as a rule finished with the owners initials, at an additional cost of $7.5O. In the country and at the seaside, cretonne-covered sunshades, with handbags to match, are popular. The sunshades are domeshaped, and are patterned with Chinese garden, pado- da, large bird and flower effects. Bags commodious enough to carry a stock inette bathing suit needlework, knit ting or crochet, and even light luncheon, accompany the sunshade, the wearer slipping the composition bracelet handle over her wrist.

NEW MANAGER FOR
 CARLISLE COMPANY IS
 WELL KNOWN IN NORTH

A. F. Zipf, recently elected to the office of vice president and general manager of the Carlisle Packing Com pany, in which he has acquired an in- terest, is no stranger to the salmon canning industry of Alaska, although this is his first direct connection with the producing end of the industry. For many years he has been promi-@ nently engaged in the Alaska trans portation business, with all phases of which he is thoroughly familiar; and it is doubtful if any other man of his age has as broad and intimate a knowledge of Alaska and Alaskan af- fairs in general. In view of this spe- cial knowledge, as we'll as his practi- cal business experience, it is expected that his services to the Carlisle Pack ing Company will be of exceptional value
 Between the first of this year and the time he took up his present du- ties, MT. Zipf was traffic manager of the Pacific Steamship Company, prior to which he had been for many years associated with the White Pass & Yukon route in similar capacity.
 MT. Zipf is a native of Idaho, AT years of age, and has been connected with the transportation business prac- tically all his life, having started with the Wells-Fargo Express Company in San Francisco in 1889. He first went to Alaska in 1898, in the service of the Alaska Commercial Company, and acted for time as purser on Yukon river steamers, later taking the posi- ton of agent at St. Michaels for the Northern Commercial Company and the Northern Navigation Company. In all his previous positions he had made a good record and is known as a capable executive. His pleasing per sOnality has made him many friends all over the territory, as well as in the Puget sound region, who predict his success in the salmon canning business.
 The Carlisle Packing Company is one of the leading salmon canning organizations, having large plants at COrdova and the mouth of the Yukon river, with both of which districts MT. Zipf is especially well acquainted, in addition to the cannery on Lumml island, Puget sound. The management of the company has formerly been handled personally by Frank Wright, the president, who after years of strenuous activity feels that he can pass a part of the burden of respOn- sibility on to younger hands, and is confident that in MT. Zipf he has found he right man for the work Pacific Fisherman.

IlADDREN'S REPORTS
 ON SULPHUR DEPOSITS
 OF ALASKA PENINSULA

Many of the Aleutian islands, that crescentic line of volcanic isles and islets that stretches westward from Alaska peninsula toward Asia, bear deposits of sulphur of the type called solfaratas. Sulphur claims have been located at three places on these islands and on the peninsula, one of them in the crater of Makushin vol cano on unalaska island. This peak, which is about 5000 feet high, is capped by perennial snow and ice and bears glaciers on it's slopes down to points about 2,50O feet above the sea. The sulphur deposit is the only part of the crater that is permanently free from snow and ice, being kept so by subterranean heat and by the dis charge of hot sulphurous vapor, which issues from vents in the rocks with a loud roar. In this crater 10000 to 15,000 tons of sulphur may be avail able for mining.
 Another deposit of sulphur is on Akun island It covers 15 or 20 acres and contains about 1,200 tons to the acre. Still another is on Stepovak bay, on the south shore of Alaska peninsula.
 A report on these deposits by A. G. Maddren has just been published by the United States Geological Survey, department of the interior, in pamphlet entitled Sulphur Deposits and Beach Placers of Southwestern Alaska" Bulletin 692-E), an advance chapter of the surveys annual bulle- tin on the mineral resources of Alaska, 1917.
 Gold PIacers on Kodiak Island
 MT. Maddren examined also the deposits of placer gold in the beach sands on Kodiak island, where min- ing has been carried on for 30 years, and where the value of the annual 
 to $1O,00O. He sketches the geology of the island and describes the beach deposits that contain the gold and their mode of origin, as we'll as the methods used in mining. Here the sea has done for the gold miner the work that is done inland by streams it has assorted and concentrated particles of gold which were derived from the bluffs that border the beach for miles along the island. The storm surf along the coast is power full enough to move boulders that weigh tons, and the play of the waves concentrates the fine gold in patches that yield good returns to the miner.
 Mr. Maddrens reports can be ob- tained free of charge on application to the director of the Geological Sur vey at Washington, D. c.

Many moth CTS carried babies at their breasts while others wheeled them in car riages and even in wheelbarrows.

 Scene of Mutiny in 1912
 Juarez remained in the hands of the Madero forces until January 3, 1912 when mutiny of the garrison occur red and the city was footed by the soldiers and criminals released from the jail. Later a force from Chihuahua City restored order for a few days, only to be driven out by Jose Ynez Salazar and Emilio P Campa, who had organized what was known as the red flag" revolt, of which Pascual Orozco, formerly one of Madero's most trusted generals, became the leader.
 The town remained in the hands of the fred flaggers" until September 5. 1912, when General Victoriano Hu- erta, then minister of war in the Ma dero cabinet, sent a force north under General Antonio Rabago.
 Captured by Huerta in 1913
 Rabago captured the town and re- mained in command until the revoIu- tion against Madero in 1913. Upon the assassination of President Madero and Vice-President Suarez, Rabago proclaimed his loyalty to Huerta.
 It was Rabago who was in command when Villa, November 1S. 1913. cap- tured southbound coal train at Villa Ahumada and rode into Juarez with about 500 men. Upon capturing the train Villa seized the telegraph opera tor and forced him to send a message to the Juarez authorities asking per mission to turn back, representing that the track had been torn up by rebels. The permission was given and from every station Villa made the cap- tive operator report progress.
 Villas Little Luck
 Little or no attention was paid to the train as it drew slowly through the Juarez yards, and it was not until the Villa soldiers dropped off and swarm ed down the main street did the fed erals know anything was wrong. The federal soldiers made a brief but gal lant defense, but they were moved down by machine guns in the hands of the Villa followers.
 The capture of the town by Villa ended the Huerta power in northern Mexico and was soon followed by the evacuation of Chihuahua City and the flight of the federal army of Ojinaga when, after few days fighting, they were driven across the Rio Grande into Texas. In the summer of 1915. following reverses in the state of Guanajuato. Zacatecas, Aguas Calien- tes and Durango, the Villa power waned and the Villa garrison surrend- cred it's army and accepted amnesty at the hands of Carranza.

Continued from Page One) from the German side as to the Ger man attitude The convention of the Majority Socialists, or the administra- tion party in Germany, made no clear statement on the peace situation. The convention, it is reported, will con tinue in session at Weimar until the peace conditions are received.
 Make Blockade Plans
 The supreme allied blockade coun- cil met Saturday in Paris to consider measures to be taken in case the Ger mans decline to sign. The five neu- tral nations nearest Germany nave declined to participate in an economic blockade should the allies request 1t.
 Military plans for a forward move ment from the Rhine, should the Ger mans refuse to meet the final terms, were completed several weeks ago. There are no indications that any ad- ditional measures have been taken by Marshal Foch in thespast few days.
 Saturday Sees Show Down
 If the Germans receive the terms Monday, next Saturday, June 21, may witness either preparations for the signing of the treaty or for a renewal of hostilities, as that date will mark the end of the proposed five day per iod of grace.
