SHOULD WE END
 ENGAGEMENTS AT WILL?!

LONDON, Dec. 27.-Men should be made to keep marriage engagements; women ought to retain the legal right of bringing suit for breach of promise in case of default, according to Mar jorie Bowen, famous novelist.
 Justice McCardie," she says, thinks that man should have the right to break off an engagement of marriage when he has changed his mind. He believes that marriages re- sulting from threats of breach of promise actions are likely to result in infidelity and life long misery.
 "This is the mans viewpoint, and very right and proper it seems at first glance. What can be more i'm modest, according to our preconceived ideas of womanhood, than that she should try to force a man to marry her who is reluctant to do so?
 No Longer Demure
 "But it is forgotten that woman is no longer a sheltered, protected, ig- norant being whose sole asset is her shrinking timidity and whose sole val ue lies in the fact that she Is un- spotted from the world. Nowadays she has to fight her own battles, earn her own living and generally Took after herself. ...E
 "How is she to do this if her con- duct is to be ruled entirely by dic- tates of reserve and modesty, deli cacy and refinement? ..
 "A man does not hesitate to di- vorce faithless wife. Surely it is more sordid to put price on what is called honor than on the value of possible husband!
 we are all rather plain and prac- tical nowadays and disinclined to al low very much for what used to be called sentiment But from a wo-
 
 mans viewpoint there must always be a great deal more than sentiment involved in an engagement of mar riage; it means so much more than even being in love- It is the alter ing entirely of woman's viewpoint, the undertaking of the most solemn of promises, the public avowal and pledging of secret preferences and deep feelings. The pang, the humili- ation, the bitterness inflicted on a woman whose lover informs her he is tired of her and desires to break off their contract are not to be meas ured. Whether or not her affections are deeply engaged her sufferings must be acute.
 Hurts Her Pride

SAUSAGE LEADS TO
 CAPTURE OF THIEVES

DUBLIN, Dec. 23.-A sausage was the clue that led to detectives ar resting three robbers here. Three young men entered cigar store and held up the man behind the counter. They had taken some ci- garettes when an alarm caused them to bolt, leaving behind cycle car rier in which they had placed the cigarettes. The detectives on ex- amining the basket found a solitary sausage. A search of the sausage makers shops in the city soon re- vealed the ownership of the bicycle, with the result that the messenger boy and two of his companions were captured.

BULL DEMONSTRATES
 CHINA SHOP PRovERB

POINT PLEASANT, W. Va, Dec. 27.-The old saying about the bull in the china shop has just had dem- onstration here. The bull, huge one, became frightened in the streets and plunged into Rupert Kayser's restau~ rant through the front plate glass win dow. The animal then smashed it's way among the tables, chairs and the dishes into the kitchen, going thence into the alley in the rear. Nobody was hurt, but there was lot of brok- en china, glass and furniture in the place after the bull left.

NEW GOWNS LOOK
 LIKE COAT OF NAH

PARIS, Dec. 27.-There is much of the coat-of-mail appearance about the gowns made of some of the unusual new fabrics.
 The Dolly sisters started the ball rolling in Deauville by wearing bod ices and slightly full skirts of a new kind of leather made up for them. u is a twin sister to aluminium but as supple as velvet, and it neither cracks nor breaks.
 Curious bodices without any decor ation are made of this new fabric, with which are worn fancy belts of great width.
 Aluminium -colored leather is being used to make jumper jackets for cold days and motoring. It is metallic, looking but without the hardness of metal. Bits of it trim many garments producing the coat-of-arms effect. On many others are small ruby glass rounds, and furnished metal discs like mirrors.
 A sensational and amusing variety of this fabric is called "the Night Club" presenting a series of dancing women in scanty attire and men young and old, looking on. Whole gowns cannot be made, of it, but doubtless there will be many cor sage.

ALASKA'S WONDERFUL POSSIBILITIES SEEN
 BY EASTERN PAPER

The Minneapolis Commercial West in recent issue contained the fol- lowing:
 Back in 1867 the United States purchased Alaska for $7,200,000, thereby adding to the nations terri tcry 590,sS0 square miles. Since then Alaska has procured in gold and silver more than 100 times the orig inal cost of the Territory to the United States. It has produced, in furs, 70 times this cost. In 1920 Alaska exported to the United States merchandise to the amount Of S61,- GOO 900. and imported from the United States the same year S37S 600 900 worth of merchandise: It's total imports and exports annually reach from s11o,o0O,Ooo to s12o,ooo,- 900.
 Alaska is country whose future is bright. In the past it has been prized mainly on account of it's mines and It's fisheries. It's mineral re- sources are as great and as varied as can be found in any other area in the world. It's wealth of timber still remains unsu-veyed. It's agricultural potentialities ere considerable. only in recent yeas has farming received any attention and, according to the 1920 census, in all its vast Territory there were but 364 farms, and of all the farm lands only 6.3 per cent were improved. .,... -
 Alaska development has been re- tarded because of Government inac- tiyity. In the Territory there is total railway mileage of $40 miles. This mileage is mainly Government road which was built for the further development of the country. In the valleys along the southern section or the country all kinds of fruits grown in temperate zone can be produced. The various cereals raised in our own northwestern states bear abund- antIv in Alaska. It is one of the territories owned by the United States where pioneering is still in it's infancy. Vast capital is needed for it's greater development It is field in which capital and labor must work hand in hand because without the capital to finance industries on an ex- tensive scale little progress can be made. Already the charge has beer made that big corporations have cor ralled the good things of Alaska. Out side of the effort to individual miners in placer fields little has been done for Alaska's development excepting by large corporations; but the time is coming when conditions will be so changed that the willing worker with small capital ill prosper in Alaska, which is now passing through a per iod of development similar to that which was experienced by Montana, Washington, Oregon and other states, only it's development will be more sure and rapid. .n.

The three upper floors Of the building

down the stairs to safety. So far as
the police have been able TO learn
no one was hurt.
The police and the fire departments
had not made a close examination of
the two buildings at midnight and the
cause Of the settling and fitting was
not known. The building department
officials, however. said that they had
information that secret eXcavating work
was being done under one of the struc-
lures and that this, together with the
heavy rains. had caused the collapse.
A permit to make the excavations, so
that the cellar might be deepened and
a barber shop installed was refused by
the building department week ago
on the ground that the structure would
not then be safe.
A crowd of more than 10000 persons
gathered about the buildings after the
accident but they We're kept back by the
