Washington, Feb. 25.-The poorer
you are in Switzerland the oftener
you wash your clothes, says Phillip
Holland American consul at Basel,
Switzerland.
Tiis IS no reflection on the rich,
nor does it mean that the poor are
cleaner It's all matter of how
much clothing you have. If you on
ly have a few garments you wash
them oftener. Rich families with a
generous reserve don't have to wash
so often,
LAUNDERING customs in Switzer-
land" wrote Holland to friends in
this country, are much different
from those prevailing in the United
States, Family washing is done
monthly, by-monthly and sometimes
semi-annually. The frequency Of the
family wash depends on the wealth
of the families
"The poorer families do their wash
ing monthly; the wealthier two,
three or six months; depending up
on the supply of linen. 1t is, not
frequent that the supply of linen
with which the newly married cou-
pie starts housekeeping lasts twenty,
thirty or even forty years. For this
reason fashions do not change either
for men or women
With this Holland siezes the OPP
portunity to give few facts about
Swiss styles in "undies."
Mems undershirts are short, At
tentuated to the hips, while the top
shirts are elongated to the knees
and still have that peculiar appen.
dage to the bosom to support the
drawers. Women wear close-fitting
heavy linen pantalettes, extending
below the knees. There is little in

warrant the dealers in making win

Washington, D. c. Official and
political Washington Is more indg-
nant than concerned at the apparent
a.tempt for certain republicans of
prominence to throw panic scare
into the country. Confident that the
thoroughly tried federal reserve sys-
tenn will continue to be a bulwarlS

aurbanles officials Of the government
are not alarmed by the inutterings
OF the calamity howlers, but are
severely critical OF those who, for
uolitical advantage, evidently would
create havoc in American business
and industrial circles.
Knowing that the ancient repubh-
can cry that a full dinner pail may
be assured only by the return of the
republican party to full power in
the nation will not find a respon.
siye ear under existing prosperous
conditions, some of the republican
leaders seemingly are making a de-
liberate and concerted effort to break
down the confidence Of the people
in the financial structure created by
the Wilson administration, which
withstood even the shock of world
war without a perceptible tremor
Leading democrats are reluctant
to charge the republicans with such
extreme partisanship, but they as
sert they cannot overlook the fact
that three republicans prominent in
The affairs Of the house of represen-
tatives nave recently In apparently
carefully arranged sequence express

Massachusetts,, was the first one to
sow the seed of possible financial
disaster in an address on the floor OF
the house few days ago. He was
followed in the same arena by Rep
resentative Frank W. Mondell OF
Wyoming, republican house leader,

Of Swiss workers, according to Hol-

Here is what a Swiss washer wo-

A fifty cent daily wage, five meals

THOUSANDS OF CARIBOU
 ON THEIR ANIMAL RUN

Nearly every auto owner in the town of Fairbanks headed for Fair banks creek to try and get a few caribou, as the caribou run is now on in that district. Several excellent bags are reported as it was no great trouble at all to get the limit, there being thousands of caribou running, and they appeared to be heading over the Big Cinema.
 Hundreds of people autoed out the road to witness the annual run, and were rewarded by a sight that is not often obtainable even in this section of the country, where cari- bou herds are common. The hills were fairly covered with the animals and it is said that many of them were brought to town to replenish larders.
 Ralph Statb, motion picture man was fortunate in getting right among the animals and obtained about 4,000 eyes of Dr. Hornaday, who claims there are not more than 5000 cari- bou in the territory.
 Reports received from Fairbanks today say that the hills are covered with the herds which are plainly visible from the Egan &5 Griffin store-Nenana News.

MARSHAL AID CANNERYMEN

Karl Armstrong, deputy marshal at Kodiak, brought a number of strand ed cannery employees from Kodiak to Seward where arrangements were made for their transportation to their homes in the states. He will probably go to the states with an in- sane patient for the Morningside sanitarium. MT. Armstrong reports Kodiak as quite lively burg this season, the fish companies having se- cured good pack and we'll pleased with the seasons work. The oil ex- citement to the westward also helped to enliven business in Kodiak this season and the tourists are more and more finding their way to the vest ward this season.

 The Negritos of the Philippines cut bamboo whistles which they fasten to fences around their rice fields, according to McClasky. When the wind blows they produce a weird screeching sound which keeps away birds that are destructive to crops.

New York's Ghetto. of the lives of two Jewish women, of the Jews of the metropolis tenements and their emer- gence into American life. The novel is hardly story at all, as stories are de fined; it has no definite plot, and is made up rather of series of incidents of daily life. Tn it one finds the life of Sarah. the Jewish women migrant and her daughter Minnie, from day to day; their sorrows and joys and ad versailles are told through 400 and some long pages.
 It is hardly possible to tell the story of Sarah and Her Daughter" One must read the book if he wants to know what it really is all about. and most readers will not find it enjoyable. One thing can be said, however: A Gentle can enjoy it as much as Jew, providing he has a reading bent for the realism of poverty and misery. It can safely be added that Bertha Pearl the author, has written a book decidedly worthy of inspection, a book of un- derstanding realism, with laughs and tears that can come only in the exist ence sarah and Her Daughter" portrays.

American Legion
 Nesos

The coming week. May 17-22, has been announced throughout the United States as American Legion week. The entire week will be devoted to the push for new members for the American Legion.
 It is expected that the coming seven days will go down in history as the best seven days of the year 1920. For through the pep and energy of the Le- zion men these seven days are going to be made memorable for all time as having been associated with the Amer ican made fight for a better America
 Membership is perhaps the prime objective. but there is a broader side to the activities of the week than can be summed up in so brief a way.
 The American Legion is the most truly representative body Of American citizens banded together for the pur- pose of furthering the cause of law and order: Americanization of the stranger within our gates; rehabilita- ton of the ex-soldier. and the stabili zation of the government of the United States based on the sacred constitu ton thereof.
 The American Legion is not alone the organization of ex-service men and women, but it is the representation of the thoughts and desires of the great American republic Every mother wife, daughter. father or son of a member of the American Legion is just as vitally interested in the activity of the Legion as though they csach had the same individual rights exercised by the member himself.
 The Legion belongs to the com munity, and nowhere is the communi- ty spirit so tritely eXemplified in the work of the Legion in it's fight for a better America and q better local community in which to live and have it's being. The community is proud of the American Legion and the Legion is proud Of the communities through which it's influence is so readily ac- cepted as a factor for right and an in centive for better government.
 It is becauses the people of a city like Phoenix have placed their faith in the Legion as shown by the presenta- ton of a home to the Legion by the city fathers that the American Legion is determined to deserve and maintain that faith and trust.
 We know therefore that in this push for new members every American is

 The Legion is the logical successor of the c. A. R. and there is none bet ter than they to receive the torch and spirit of the veterans of '61. The work of the c. A.
