SHORT SKIRTS GIVE DEALERS
 IN SOUVENIRS BAD SETBACK

NEW YORK, Sept 15-Short skirts and bobbed hair have worked hardship on dealers in souvenir picture post cards-the variety that floods the mail during the summer from resorts along the Atlantic coast.
 Previous to the advent of afore- said styles. stocks of these cards showing beaches and cool walks were ordered in advance in lots numbering in tens of thousands. As the beaches did not change, and as a crowd was crowd regardless of whether it was this years crowd or last, the cards could be sold just the same. .-.~ .:"
 Now, however, all is changed. 4 picture showing a beach or board walk of summer play ground with women strolling about clad in dress es that brushed their shoe-tops can be put down at a glance as ancient stuff.
 The tourist wants evidence to send home indicating that he or she is there now and that he or she is trailing up an up-to-date crowd. Hence it is thumbs down for the picture card of yesterday, to the distress and financial loss of the dealers who laid in large stocks at pre-war prices.

Willis Nicley, former resident of Nenana, returned to town yester- day, having just returned to the In terior from a several months stay at Kennecott. He spent last winter in Seattle
 Conditions in Seattle were bad when he left, Nicley says, with three breads lines working daily. And he has reason to believe there has not been much improvement since he left to return to Alaska.
 The Guggenheims are operating three properties at present, in ad- dition to their big mill, and en- ploying several hundred men. Just before Nicley left to come to the Interior, announcement was made of a reduction in the wage scale, the cut being 35 cents day, which would bring the wage for muckers down to $40 a day, and miners to s49o, with s153 of that for board
 Nicley says wage cuts during the past year have resulted in several changes in the working forces the old men quitting and new ones coming to take their places IL does not appear difficult for the company to get workers.
 N;cley went out the line this morning, 10 visit with his father and to have a look at the work that has been done along th< rail- road since he went Outside.

 FORMER WIFE TO HELP HIM

SAN FRACISCO, Sept. 15-At the conclusion of an investigation extending over many hours, the county grand jury, late Tuesday night, found true bill against Fat ty Arbuckle, charging the movie actor with manslaughter, in connec- ton with the death of Miss Virginia Rappe.

 Arbuckle appeared as a witness al the inquest held on Monday. The news of his indictment did not move him, but newspapermen noticed that his face was more palLd than usual. and he has assumed an air of fixed dejection.

At the next general election the people OF
the State will vote a similar law This
proposed law was placed before the. Legisla-
ture through initiative petition, with the
business men of Reno sponsoring 1t. The
Legislature rejected the law in order to place
1t on the ballot and thus settle the question
for all time.
An initiative bill proposing an interlocu-
tory decree, which was circulated by several
ministers, failed to secure sufficient sigma
lures to be placed before the Legislature or
on the ballot. although the petitions had
been in circulation for three months. Suf-
ficient signatures were secured for the Reno
business mems petition in ten days, showing
how the people OF Reno and the State feel
about the divorce law.
Reno's divorce industry. as 1t is referred
TO nearly everywhere, is not such a flourish
ing industry as is often pictured although
the revenue secured through this avenue is
variously estimated at from one million to
two million dollars annually.
