The American home Is the real
moral foundation of the nation, and
the women. under whose charge

granted this simple act OF justice
from the very beginning.
II welcome the ONE to the

New jersey r~atifying the Susan B.

MATANUSKA DISTRICT
 IN NEED OF NEW ROADS

One of the most pressing needs of the farmer Of the Matanuska, Palmer and other contiguous districts is the completion of fag-ends of trunk roads.
 There are, say the settlers, a num- Der of partially completed roads that, with a little improvement, could be made passable until such time as the coordination of road building under an all-Alaskan board.
 Some three year ago work was started on the PalmerWilson creek road, most of which was slashed and stumped. There are yet two miles, say the settlers, that are slashed but not stumped, and until this portion is completed the road fails of it's pur- pose-a route eight miles distant from Palmer to the Willow creek wagon road.
 Other roads are in a similar condi- tion, and it is these fag-ends the set tiers desire to be completed.
 The road from Matanuska to Pal mer is partially an old tote" road used in constructing the government rail road, and was abandoned by the con- mission It is below the grade of the surrounding country and needs ditch ing for drainage and graveling for surface.

Vandy Glee Club
 With Songs and
 'Trimmins' Pleases

The Vanderbilt Glee Club delighted large and representative audience last night, at the High school audito- rum. The club, composed of college boys with spirit and pep, won their audience with a program of music, song and dance and other trimmings that made the evening one of continu- ous enjoyment.
 The opening group of "Songs of Vanderbilt" brought spontaneous burst of applause from the audience that only increased with each number. In the group were Alma Mater" "Long Live the Name and Fame of Commodore" and "We Are College Glee." As an encore "Old Vandy" was given.
 Tom Fletcher charmed his hearers as an encore for "Asthore" sang Sweet Little Woman of Mine," which he was compelled to repeat.
 "Alexander" as sung by the Glee club was perhaps the cleverest and most popular numbers on the program. As an encore to these "Let the Rest of the World Go Bly," was sung.
 Elmo Thompson and Guy Sanderson made quite hit in their duet Gravel ! Travel Little Sts~."
 A E. Mccarthy playing his accom- paniment on the guitar delighted his audience with "Willie the Weeper" and "There Are No Angel Men" and gave as encores "You Never Can Tell' and Cleft All Alone Blues."
 "My Dear," composed by Miss Mar garet Grayson of Philadelphia, was introduced by Messrs. Guy Sanderson, Il William K. Provine, Betty Coker, and Earl Rogers. This was the mi tial singing of "My Dear," which will not be out until August 1. It is de- lightful little air with catchy words. Very realistic was the imitation of negro revival meeting and Earl Rog- CTS as the preacher "reached" his au- dience, while Batty Coker as song leader, kept things moving. Elmo Thompson scored triumph with his singing of Cadmau's Land of the Sky-Blue Water" and was forced to respond with two encores. The final number lode to Wander bilt," which was composed by Mrs. E, L. Ashford, written for the twenty fifth anniversary of Vanderbilt in 1900, is said by music critics to be the prettiest thing ever written in the way of college song.
 William K. Provine, accompanist, came in for full share of the applause of the audience, for his work was eX- cellent.
 Altogether it was most pleasing and refreshing program.

Extravagance in Buying Rapidly
 Becoming Less

St. Louis, July 27.-Extravagant buying is rapidly subsiding despite the fact the purchasing power of the public has not diminished, according to the monthly report of the eighth federal reserve district issued here otday.
 The report states advices from de- partment stores indicate customers are demanding the worth of their money in quantity and quality.
 Statements from bond houses that the public is buying liberty bonds over the counter "with eagerness" and the fact that there is "well defin- ed slowing down in the automobile industry" are further indicative of the general trend toward saving, the report states.
 Prices of certain commodities have shown a sharp decline, according to the report, but the reduction will hardly be felt in bills covering the cost of living.
 No change is forecast in the shoe industry and clothing for fall deliv- cry is steady to higher, the report says.
