REPORTS CONDITIONS
 STILL BAD OUTSIDE

Fred G. Moves, pioneer resident of Fairbanks, who arrived from the states on Saturdays train, reports that conditions are very bad on the outside, says the Nenana News. And it is his opinion that it will be at least eighteen months before there is change for the better. This situation ill the states. he says, will cause a big influx of people into Alaska-is causing it already, and the result will be a plentiful supply of labor for all purposes. and a revival of prospecting.
 MT. Moves does not believe there is much chance for the passage of the gold bonus bill He thinks the na- tional lawmakers will hesitate long before giving their approval to a measure, the operation of which might in any way affect the gold standard. He believes the payment of prem ium on virgin gold would tempt many people to attempt to remelt gold coins and disguise the metal as virgin gold. Of course, he says, not all of such persons would succeed in their at tempts to defraud the government, but many of them would try, and the government would be put to heavy ex- pense.

US. HAS HARD
 TIME GETTING
 RID OF MONEY

WASHINGTON, May 14 (by Asso ciated Press). - The government. which lately has been having diffi- culties in getting money, also oc- casionally encounters difficulty in getting rid of it. The latter difficulty faces the agrciulture departments bureau sof markets which is trying to distribute half a million dollars among wool growers and distributors. The job has been dragging along for months without coming to an end.
 Under wartime price regulations, the government bought all the wool produced ill the United States. fixed the commission to all dealers and buyers. and undertook to see that the sheepmen got the exact amount due them on their entire flock growth. In view of the tremendous weight of wood handled, small mis- takes in weights and estimates ac- crued during the two years the sys- tenn was operated, and in the end the audit of the joint accounts showed that dealers had $556,0319S on hand in excess of their allotted profits and commissions. This, it was decided, should go back to the producers, in accordance with the amount of wool they furnished the government But it proven easier to decide the prob lem than to work 1t.
 The government to date has distri- buted $101, ,569.62 to 34.53O wool grow CTS. Most of the excess profits or iginated in the territory east of the 1 Mississippi river where small sheep flocks are somewhat of side line for farmers. Big producers in the west were easily accounted for.
 The government thus is up against the job of paying the money out in amounts ranging from 30 cents up- wards to $5. Also, it has been dis covered that while $500 country buy CTS took out proper licenses and came under regulation, 1869 store- keepers, bankers, and others bought small lots of wool, but didn't handle enough to acquaint themselves of the requirements. The balance of the half million is likely to lay in the treasury for indefinitely as a consequence.

 Planned for Next Year

Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 29.-Plans are maturing rapidly at the National headquarters of the National League of Women Voters for the first Pan American conference of Women ever held and which promises to be the largest gathering of women ever brought together in the United States according to a bulletin issued by the Indiana League of Women Voters here.
 This all-American conference will be held in Baltimore, April 20 to 20 in connection with the national con vention or congress of the League of Women Noters which organization is responsible for originating the Pan American meeting.
 Invitations were sent to the gov ernment of South and Central Amori- can countries to send delegates to a Pan-AmeriCan conference and while the invitations were not officially eX- tended from the government of the United States they were forwarded by the state department and thus bore the approval of the government, aC- cording to Mrs A. H. Beards!ey, president of the Indiana League of Women Voters.
 "The main purpose of the confer ence is to bring the women of this country into more friendly relations with the women of other countries of South America, Central America, Mexico and Canada" said Mrs. Beardsley.

New York County Register Will
 Issue No EdiCtS in Matter

New York, Nov, 29.-There'n be no regulation of skirt lengths, no ban on bare knces no ouiCry against the bob ping of tresses or the parking of cor sets by her employees when Miss Annie Mathews takes over, on January ln the office to which she has just been elected, as register of the county of New York-thc richest political plum that has even fallen into the lap Of q woman in New York. if not in the en- tire United States
 Not that the SIP, ,o0O-a-year regis ter-elect hasn't very decided ideas on clothes and all the allied arts so pre- | cious to women. Indeed, she has spent the greater part of her 40-odd years studying the clothes problem, first as dressmaker then a designer and finally as an importing modistc But she has even more decided ideas on the question of personal lib- erty.
 'I am opposed to all prohibition 7" she said
 Tt is impossible to make women or men moral by legislation. The human race can be improved only by educa- | ton that will make them appreciate the good and the artistic.
 "If any of my young women em- ployes ask for my advice on clothes, | I shall give it. And the most inn portant thing I will tell them is to wear something appropriate for the occasion. A woman's business attire, or house attire certainly should be simple.
 Busy herself at the time receiving congratulations at her campaign headquarters, Miss Mathews attire emphasized her formula. A plain blue serge dress, softened at the throat by a bit of embroidered linen collar. Black high shoes No jew elry. Copper Colorcd hair simply cOiffed.
 skirt lengths, bobbed hair, the question of COrsets or none,' she went on with a twinkle from behind her pince-nez glasses, "are largely mat ters of taste-and Of figure. All this talk about depravity among young women makes me bit weary. I be- lieve the young people are as good as young people ever were.
 "Of course there are, and always have been. extremists. But-wel, don't think I will be troubled with these. for I can tell a great deal about character by the clothes one wears. Yes, even the standardized clothes of men"
 Miss Mathews enters on her new job of keeping the county's deeds, mortgages and leases with but one preConceived idea--that there shall be no prejudice either for or against any of her 150 employees because they happen to be women.
