Voice of the Alaska Press

the Alaska Road commission, who Is enthuhiastic in discussing highways for the Territory. Colonel Gotwals said that he learned. while n France, that for small tonnage the auto tru,k was the thing.
 "One hundred miles can be made by q truck train in day." Colonel Get walls said. "The trucks can handle tho small tonnage where ra'icnd transportation would be at loss. Take. for instance. the proposed sys- tenn of roads that vii, be feeders for the Government railroad. Trucks can haul the ore and produce to the rail- road in quick time and cheaper than by any other way. The upkeep Of horses is now too much. as they are idle in the winter months and they eat their heads off. The small mining operator, with a truck. can get his ore to the railroad and thus furnish ton mage. It would be impracticable for railroads to be built to all sections but the auto truck. over a system of highways. will be the thing.
 q want to propose system of highways in Alaska on program for twenty years to come. In this mat ter want assistance of the Alaskans. The highway is what has built up all countries in their pioneer stage. Back ed by Alaskans, the road commission officials can go before the appropria- tions committee and show them what amount is needed and be very likely to secure the amounts needed yea rly. The economic life of new country lies in its transportation facilities and highway system will solve the trans- portation issues in Alaska. ."-Alaska Capital.

G UGH essential things as suits, and
~ other clothes for the street, are
launched by their manufacturers long
before the season for their wearing
is at hand. This must be done so that
merchants may buy them a little. in
advance of the time when they are
needed. September finds the public
interested and October finds them buy
ing very briskly their practical clothes
for general wear and there is consid-
cradle business earlier, for Quitting
young women who are going away to
school.
1t is for the benefit of such fortu-
nate young persons that the very at
tractive suit shown in the illustration
is offered for consideration in August.
1t is n of many attractive creations
that are specially well adapted to the
lines of youthful figures. Drawing
such conclusions as may be gathered
this early in the season, skirts are
to vary considerably in width, the ex-
tremely narrow ones not appealing to
people of the best judgment and there
are really not any models that can
be called severe in line among the new
coats. Skirts may be plain or plated.

WOODEN ship WerthIess.

Washington.-The greatest fleet Of
wooden ships in the world is being
modified in the James river by the
United States Shipping board. There
are about 100 there and there will be
ITO eventually. The government con-
structed 300 or more wooden ships
during the war at a cost of S250,000,-
600, the greater part of which was
poured into the South for the purpose
of utilizing southern timber. The de-
sign of the ships vas altered three
times before the southern timber could
be utilized, but in the end the craft,
which were generally of $500 tons,
proved unavailable for war transpor-
tation purposes.

PIN O N PROPOSITIONS

for boys or girls can usually arrange
to furnish supplies Of some sort to
them.
Besides these usual means of pick
ing up pin money there are opportu-
mites for women who own and drive
cars. In summer and winter resorts
they get together sightseeing parties
and take them on short motor trips
that yield a pretty profit, or they es-
tablish a regular trip carrying people
to and from certain points. Women
have proved themselves quite equal to
driving motorcars In all parts Of the
country. Some young women have q
very happy faculty for entertaining
children. They undertake to look
after a number of little ones q or
two afternoons In each week, releass
ing mothers from their care for q
brief time. The children must be
brought to the home OF their enter
tainer and called for. She provides
for their amusement and gives them
any attention they may need, for a fee.
BY looking after a number of them
regularly the income is worth while.
Some women and girls are success
full In soliciting subscriptions to peri
odicals and books. Some do well sell
ing merchandise, as stockings, c~orsets.
embroideries, among their friends. In
considering the matter Of making pin
non it is necessary first to take
stock of ones accomplishments to de
termlne what work is easy to excel in.
Women who know how to plan all the
details for entertainments, luncheons,
dinners and parties are in demand In
thickly settled communities and many
of them turn their gifts to good ac-
cOunt.

Coats are a matter for rejoicing, hav-
ing those vague outlines that are
called "easy" and are particularly
smart. There is a great variety in
them and in sleeves, which may grow
less as the season grows older. 1t
all depends upon the appeal Of the sew
eral styles to the public.
One cannot go wrong in the selection
of a suit like that one shown in the
picture. 1t has a straight skirt in a
conservative length and just wide
enough for comfortable walking. The
coat is straight with narrow belt con-
filming it at the waist and there are
very long ends at the front, finished
with tassels. 1t reveals the persist
ence CT embroidery and embroidered
effects in styles for fall and indications
are that this vogue has not reached
the crest of the wave in its popular
ity. The collar merits special atten-
ton, being n mixture of styles AMI
a novelty. 1t is SC arranged that 1t
can be thrown about the throat like
a short scarf and is p~rettily finished
with fiat tassels. Buttons secure 1t in
the position shown by the picture.

peace negotiations to begin at Minsk,
Aug. II.
Observation-Disclosures, northeast of
Warsaw, has been captured by the
Bolshevists after two days of fighting.
Premier Witos in a statement to Pol

Heaviest fighting since the Bolshe-
visit offensive began n month ago is
developing along the Bug, where both
sides r throwing in all their forces.
Towns and points of vantage change

communiQue interprets the battle as
successful for the Poles. The Poles
have retaken Tetespol. 1t has changed
hands several lines. South of Brest-

across the Bug, the Poles have taken
Mokan.
Poland is uneasy over its inability

playing for time.
The foreign office has announced
that the Soviet wireless operator at
Moscow has refused for a third time
to receive Poland's message %annOunc-

Of NJ ADOO
To NOMINATE HIM
OVER OWN PROTEST
T kilograms Urging Them to
Stop Activities and Take
Him at His Word Prove
Unavai|ing
BY DAVID LAWRENCE

Copyright, 1920, for. The Atlanta Journal)
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, June 25.-
The veil of doubt concerning the
McAdoo candidacy is lifting. Friends
of the former secretary Of the treas
ury have formed militant organiza-
ton determined to nominate him over
his own protest. kilograms are
coming to several of these men to
stop their activity and take Mr.. Nc
Adoo at his word, but they are I'M
awaiting.
Indeed, the latter is reliably re-
ported to have told Senator Glass
in a conference in New York last
week that if his name were presented
for nomination, the Virginia senator
was authorized to say it was being
done without his consent or sane
ton.
Nevertheless, Senator Glass is open
1y for Mc!Adoo's domination and will
make a fight for it. The story told
by men in the confidence Of Mr.. Nc
Adoo bears out the reasons given
publicly byethe former director gem
eraI of railroads. They say he has
considered the question from every
angle and that he has a horror. Of
having the Grown prince" argument
and criticism of a similar vein con-
corning his relationship with Presi-
dent Wilson flung at him and his
family during a political campaign.
McAdoo, Man Of Hour
They declare, moreover, that Mrs.
McAdoo has been consistently OPP
posed to the return of her husband
to public life. She knows the extent
to which public and private criticism,
together with the almost superhu-
man burdens Of the White House it
self, can interfere with personal COM
fort and happiness. Her own father
broke down in health and her moth
err died while in the White House.
Every friend of McAdoo here says
he is thoroughly sincere in his disin-
clinatfon to run for office. Why nomi
nate him then?
To that question comes the uniform
answer from these same McAdoo men
that in a time like this, personal
tastes or convenience cannot out
weigh the duty that man may owe
to his party and his country. They
are absolutely determined that Nc
Adoo is the man of the hour and

SOLDIER KILLED
INLONDONDERRY

LONDON, June 25.-Snipers were
busy in Londonderry during the
night, according to a Central News
dispatch from that city. Troops fired
on disorder1y elements several times,
and also dispersed looters. At
about midnight the firing became so
intense that the searchlight on the
destroyer anchored in the harbor was
turned on the city in an endeavor to
locate the men engaged in the fight
ing.
A former soldier named Austin was
killed while crossing a street.
