ser~

The Alaska Road Commission's E current activities on II projects in this division, briefly summarized to- day by Colonel James c. Steese, president of the commission, shows to what extent that organization is engaged in road building enterprises fin this part of the Territory. A not inconsiderable proportion of the work being done is adjacent to Juneau and is an important factor in the de- velopment of country contingent to the city

TODAY's BEAUTY HELP

We find you can bring out the
beauty of your hair to its very best
advantage by washing it with cam
throx. It makes a very simple. mex
pensive shampoo. which cieanses the
hair and scalp thoroly of all the dan
druff. dirt and excess oil. leaving a
wonderfully clean, wholesome feeling.
After its use, you will find that the
hair dries quickly and evenly. is never
streaked in appe; dnce and is always
bright, soft and fluffy: SO fluffy. in
fact, that it looks more abundant than
it is and so soft that arranging 1t
becomes a pleasure. Just use tea
spoonful of canthrox, which you can
get from any good druggist. dissolve 1t
in cup of hot water; this makes a
full cup of shampoo liquid. enough SO
it is easy to apply it to all the hair
instead of just the top of the head.

BRING ON MEDAL FOR A
FEARLESS Topeka WOMAN

A medal and n crown of bay
leaves for the most fearless woman
in Topeka-who 1T appears just
now is DIR. Sara Greenfield Steph-
enson. Mrs. Stephenson's claims to
glory were revealed at the meeting
of the Knife and Fork club Monday
night. Mrs. Stephensons birthday
came on the same day.
Mrs. Stephenson, who can make
delicious goodies, brought to the
party a huge birthday cake. Upon
that cake were five candles. The
four corner ones stood for forty,
she admitted. Then the fearless
woman. with n candor which left
her friends breathless, proposed n
game.
She asked all the members pres
ent to write their guess of her age
upon a slip of paper, and promised
the privilege of cutting the cake to
the one who guessed nearest. The
gueSscS varied, but Miss Ethel AID
rich, who guessed 49," was the
winner. And the funny part about
1t was that they say Sara Stephen
son looked as pleased when they
guessed just which birthday, as she
did when her twentieth birthday
cake was cut.

MAKES A SURVEY
Robert III. Page Describes Con-

Mill Workers Hard Hit by In

A spending orgy, unprecedented In
the industrial history OF the United
States is the way Robert H. Page de-
scribes conditions in Massachusetts
factory towns during the high wage
period that led up to the present eco
nomic slump. Mr.. Page made an ex-
haustive survey of industrial and So

trial centers for the Uunited States
bureau of industrial relations. Mr..
Page and his wife, formerly Miss Anna
Squires, are visiting her parents. Mr..

$50 Per Week to Mill Workers.
mill workers in Massachusetts
were getting $50 a week-some more
One of my aims was to find out what
they did with the money. Well they
spent it Just as fast as they got it. In
one town where compete data were
gathered, only 40 per cent of the mill
workers mad bank accounts. and only
20 per cent savings accounts. In
humble little. homes with tawdry wall
paper, low ceilings, almost invariably
the parlor fixtures included player
piano and a phonograph-the most
expensive makes. Over their Bingham
J gowns the housewives, out for a morn
ing's shopping wore fur coats that
cost anywhere from $3.50 up.
THE towns were infested with ped
dlers. In fact, I found the greater
part of the finery and their pianos
and talking machines were purchased
from agents, often at a much higher
price than asked by stores in the same
towns for the same things. There
seemed to be a prevalent belief that
good times had come to stay and the
| big wages would last forever.
| After the break-when factories
shut down on two weeks notice-in
one town within a week 200 automo-
| biles were advertised for sale; pawn
brokers and chattle mortgage brokers
piled their shops high with women s
| fur coats and jewelry-mostly off
| colored diamonds
