 Frequently in the initial stages of water power development in Alaska there is no cn- ginccring force available to draw detailed maps and plans. Operations are under the direction of a rcsourcefuI foreman who can ac- complish wonders with little more than the bare hands of himself and his crew. Armed with the elementary knowledge tbat water runs down hill, keen and discerning naked eye and an ordinary spirit level, he puts the water to work, and that's all there is to 1t.
 It is to be earnestly hoped that congres, will write into the federal water power act the words "excuding Alaska" or that the op- cration and enforcement of the act in the ter ritory will be transferred to our local officials who will be author zed to ignore tbe rules and regulations issued by the water power board, and to simplify, so far as possible, procedure under the act-Juneau Capital.

WHY WEAR SKIRTS?

The time was, and not very many years ago. when woman attred in anything less than a dress that started just below the ears and ended on the ground was a rare curiosity and would attract the multtudes wherever she might go.
 That was before the day of automobiles, air planes and other like inventions which would at that time have attracted fully as much at tention as a deviation from the straight and narrow in wOmans dress.
 With the development of new ideas in san itaton with a greater desire for comfort and with an idea towards convenience, there have come as many changes in woman's dress as in our mode of travel. woman in sem-fitting mcn's clothes does not now attract half as much attention as did the woman in diaphan- ous, form-fitting hobbcd clothes that were once the rage.
 It is a dangerous thing to make prediction as to what women will wcar-it is sometimes dangerous to make even a suggestion along that lime within ones own faml ly-but the Times will venture the prediction that tn" number who think partial adoption of male clothing by women would be more modest and more sensible than have been woman's clothes of the past, will increase by the thousands ov- cry year and that the number of woman who assume the male clothing for outings, auto trips and the like will increase by the millions
 With the rapid strides woman is making in taking her place beside man we would not be greatly surprised if we lived long enough to see her discard the cumbersome skirt entirely More startling things have happened in the past few years. What good reason can any one advance why woman should stick to skirts?

SAVING IN ALLOWANCE

Secretary of War Weeks advances the theory that department need not spend all the money just because it has it available. Who said there was nothing new under the sun? Heretofore it has been the prevailing theory that a department must not only spend all that has been appropriated but must incur a deficit in order to lay the foundation for claims for increased appropriations in the succeeding year.

How to Succeed-How to Get
Ahead-How to Make Good
By JESSIE ROBERTS
TEACHERS

PREACHERS are looking about these
i days for opportunities that will
give them better returns than those
the schools yield. This may be a
pity from the point Of view of the
schools, but it is a fact.
But many women love teaching, and
feel that they are particularly we'll
suited to this work. Yet they must
earn more money. There is an Op-
portunity for joining the two in teach
ing craftsmanship. Many of the big
department stores run classes for
teaching their salespeQple better meth
DDS and for giving them chance to
advance to the higher positions.
Teachers are now taking special
courses in selling and then going into
the teaching of this branch Of COM
merce.
There is also an opening in doing
special research work for retail and
department stores, and teachers are
qualifying for such positions. Natural
ly they soon make a far greater salary
than ever they got by school-teaching,
and what is more the life itself is
broader, more various and fuller Of
opportunity. Teachers who go into
commerce from this angle often de-
velop into saleswomen themselves, and
grow to prefer that work. Executive
positions in retail and department
stores are also open to them after
the experience that comes with teach
ing.
A certain time spent in teaching
school is good practice for almost any
job. Witness how many Of our ia
nous men were at one time of their
career teachers in country or city
schools. But the young woman who
wants to get out into the world and
make a real future for herself will
not stay too long in the classroom.
She will use her training to bring her
the best results possible. Executive
positions In wholesale and retail trade
are one possibility, and all excellent
one.

Although Mrs. Walker cannot quail
fy for membership in the Legion or In
its Women's Auxiliary, she has been
tireless worker for the cause which
brought the organizations into exist
ence, and for which they now stand.
During the World war she was state
director of women's work in the Bel
gian relief fund and also served as
food administrator for her county. The
Mother Of the Bonus" also assists
her husband in the publication Of a
weekly newspaper and IS a former
president Of the. Kansas Federation
of Women's Clubs.
The advent of Mrs. Walker to the
legislature resulted in the coming Of
new word. At loss to distinguish
between male and female members,
the recent session decided to refer to
women lawmakers or 'legisladies."

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS

tionaries, though the word, it.
self is nearly century old,
dating back to 1924 when Thur
dell was hanged for the murder
of Weare, a crime which was
one Of the most sensational in
the annals Of London police.
1t happened that a printer by
the name of Catnach saw q
chance to make a considerable
sum of money through the pub
hcation Of what he alleged to
be the murderer's speech from
the gallows. The paper con-
tanning this report sold fairly
well, but the receipts did not
come up to Catnaeh's expecta-
lions. So he printed a second
edition, with a headline in large
letters across the top Of the
sheet: ''WE ARE alive again"
These words actually appeared
in Weare's speech, as reported,
but the printer purposely left
very little space between the
first two words of the phrase
and, reading the line "WEARE
alive again!" thousands of per-
sons bought the paper before
they discovered the deception.
The London Times referred
to the matter as ''catchpenny
device and the printer twas
thereafter known as "Catch-
penny" Catnach. So descriptive
was the word that it has re-
manned in the language to this
day.

And the paper hanger is rather
Jolly person. He sings and whistles In
he empty room. He keeps to tune
day after day, until you know it.
He slaps his brush as if be liked his

ng slap. Not even a plasterer deals
n more interesting material Andhe
settles down on yon with ladders
md planks as If circus had moved
in. After hours. when he ais gone,
you climb on his planking and cross
Niagara, as 1t were. with cane for
balance. To this day think of paper
hangers as kindly race of men,
who sing In echoing rooms and eat
Die and pickles for their lunch. En-
