PREPARING TRESTLES

The Balkan mine carpenters are
busy making trestle bents these days
for use when the mine opens. This
is taken as a hopeful sign by everyone
in Alpha but so far as positive in
formation concerning any date OF
opening OF operations is concerned,
there is none.
The rumors OF consolidation
which shall include the Cleveland
Cliffs and Pickand-Mather seems TO
be quite positive and Is taken by some
to mean that operations will not re-
sumo until the merger is effected

BARN AND HAY BURNED
Fire In Homecroft Addition Last Sun
day Morning Caused Much Loss

A barn belonging to Sam vornas OF
the Homecroft addition was discovered
TO be on fire last Sunday morning. A
call TO the Alpha fire department was
made and response was speedy but
the fire had gained such headway that
the department could only give atten-
tion TO prevent II from spreading to
other parts.
The barn was filled with hay which
made excellent fuel for the flames In
q very short time the building and con-
tenes were a total loss.
The origin of the fire has not been
exactly determined. II is thought that
either a cigarette stub or that spark
from close by chimney ignited the
hay There was no insurance on the
property

Alpha people who have read the
story or the Stambaugh girl who
wrote home that she saw Frank
Kazilek on Michigan avenue In Chi
cago question the correctness OF the
story for various reasons but princi-
pally because II doesn't tally up with
the description OF him given by Mr..
Mosher OF Gaastra, the last man who
saw Kazilek in these parts.
In the next place II is improbable
that he would have appeared in a
costume that would attract SO much
attention il he was making a get

this week to what has already been
told of his disappearance. The watch
is still being kept up on the lakes and

THE QUEEN BANS PLuMAGE.

orders recently given by Queen
Mary to her milliners that no plumage
of wild birds should be used for any
Of her hats. cannot fail to exercise a
far reaching influence, says special
dispatch to the Philadelphia Evening
Bulletin.
For the edict means the Queen has
joined in the crusade against the de-
struction of the most beautiful of the
wild feathered tribes, and from hence
forth headgear, the plumage of which
indicates it has cost the life of one or
more wild birds, viii be subject to the
ban of the Court of st. James.
Queen Mary is already assured OF
the support of her mother-in-law,
Queen Alexandra, who is never seen
with a feathered toque, and through
whose influence during the reign of
her husband, Edward VII, the wear
ing of egrets' feathers was virtually
put out Of fashion in Great Britain.
Nowhere viii this decree of Queen
Mary be received with more sympathy
than in India, where the natives have
always regarded the use of birds feath-
ers for adornment as a form of revolt
ing barbarism, and as offensive to all
their religious prejudices.-our Dumb

AMERICAS PUG NOSE BEAUTIES.

America is developing a new type OF
beauty, composition OF the bewilder-
ing multitude of European facial types.
which will be as Individual and beautiful
ais the classic types of-Greece and Rome.
Such is the belief of DIR. Jack Brettmoh,
one Of Paris foremost facial surgeons.
This type is already becoming dlscerni-
BILE, but fifty years will be required to
complete the process.
The chief characteristics of the Amer
lean type are:
Cute nose, inclined to turn up.
Remarkable complexion, coming from
health.
Brownish hair, blue eyes.
Good form, resulting from athletic
training,
Fascinating personality, exuberant,
sympathetic, self-relIant.
DR.. Brettmon claims that the Amerl-
can girl will be the first pug nose beauty
She disproves the old belief that only
the straight classic nose can be aesthet-
ically lovely The noses of American
women tend to turn up, adding a
piquant charm to their beauty Ameri-
can men usually do not have pug
noses" The American beauty, DIR
Brettmon adds, will have the finest
complexion of any type the world has
ever seen, due both to prohibition and
her athletic habits.

WOULD BAN BEAUTY CONTESTS

A new form of bite law has beea pro-
posed in Congress by Representative
Herrick (Rep., Okla. who introduced q
bill to make it unlawful for newspapers
TO hold beauty contests. Its purpose
is to put an end to the insldious forces
that are reaching out to lure young girls
from home.
. Mr.. Herrick claims that American
born girls are leaving home to seek
their fortunes instead of marrying and
having families 50 that the rapidly IN
creasing foreign born population will
soon make America un-Arnerican- he
blames all these troubles on the beauty
contest which takes the girl away from
home. The movie man gets her picture.
Then she becomes an actress or meets
bad companions.
Mr. Herrick's measure is entitled "a
bill prescribing rules and regulations
under which newspapers and adver-
tising agencies may hold prize contests
and for other purposes !" 1t provides
that violation Of the law shall be pun
ishable by fine of SIS, 900, imprisonment
