Better Ribbon Demand I'm West.

Ribbon jobbers still describe demand
as of q hand to mouth character, but
see signs of more liberal buying in the
West and on the Pacific coast. Ribbon
for summer millinery Is being used much
more extensively in those areas than in
the East. Flower effects, which are
gaining in popularity as warm weather
approaches. are expected to enliven the
call for ribbons. A comparatively new
innovation. called the ribbon hat, which
is made of four and five inch grades in
coarse grain ribbon effects, Is another
item which milliners are featuring to
stimulate demand. Black moire velvet
ribbon Is having fairly good sale and
sand shades in silk and satin ribbon are
featured for junior wear.

BUSINESS NOTES
AND TRADE NEWS
Novelty Jewelry Holds Recent
Gain-Sales of Sporting
Goods Heavy.

Sales of novelty jewelry are still
mounting in volume and show no ten
dency to slacken, according to statesmen
just in from the road. Business In
women's lines. however, lis decidedly bet
ter than that In the mems division.
Earrings and bracelets are the two
articles leading the former branch. The
mems jewelry business Is cu-tailed be-
cause of the sport shirt vogue. which has
eliminated the use of accessory jewelry
articles, such as cuff links and shirt
studs. Scarfpins. however, are gaining
in sales. and therefore manufacturers
are devoting more attention to them in
preparing their fall lines. Imported
jewelry is still a drug oni the market.

Felt Hat. Retard straw Season.

Millinery men lay much of the pres
ent seasonal backwardness to the early
introduction of the felt hat. the vogue
of which has retarded the sale of straws.
The important factors in the trade are

that the vogue Is but a flash in the

 The town of Anchorage really has no rep resentative baseball team such as should rep resent the town when playing other neighbor
 ing towns. The fans and followers of the game are beginning to realize this fact, and move ment is under way to form an Anchorage baseball organization for next year. Such a team would be managed by an Anchorage business man, and sufficient funds guaranteed to support the organization. Anchorage has a splendid nucleus for a winning team; other players could be imported and given positions by the local business men in order to help fi- nance the organization This would in no man ner impair the local league, which could con- tinue with teams representing Anchorage Commission and Soldiers, as at present.
 A winning baseball team is distinct asset to any town and Anchorage will have win ner in 1923-Anchorag Times.

THE COUNTRIES VOICE

The President is recognized as the most authoritative spokesman of the American peo- pe He has spoken on the strikes. The Presl- dent has shown characteristic patience, but patience and firmness usually go together.
 President Harding says the coal strike must end. What is still better, he shows how to end it. Best of all, he makes the plan he suggests an ultimatum and back of it places the whole force of the United States government.
 The plan is nothing more nor less than ar bitration. Arbitration has been offered before, but not under such conditions of immediately impending calamity for the country and it's neople. and not with the label ''Take it, or leave it at your peril" It is encouraging to see that it is believed at Washington that the Presidents plan for immediate resumption of labor at the mines will succeed. If not, dras- tic measures must be employed-and Washln- ton has them at hand-for 1t would be SUI cidal to admit that nation which can whip foreign powers cannot control one branch of its own industries.
 But there is another strike. And here the authoritative spokesman speaks agaln. lie says interference with the running Of trans mrst ston. That's what President Cleveland said. and he stopped it. There is no reason to believe that Mr Harding. though less hruS- cue than MT. Cleveland. is less determined. And Washington has mnch more power now than in Mr Cleveland's time.
 There are many who believe that if the laws were enforced both of the tremendously menacino strikes would die of hamilton. But ae there are so many weak backed executives. aid as the opportunities for legal evasion ar" co numerous it is fortunate that tho Rio Executive has snoknn out and has said with the old Romans "Sa1ue nonn'i suprema l"V ost v or to render it freely ''Gpt to work or oct out of the wav'

MEETING THE FOREIGN INFLUENCES

Since about the year 1880 we have admitter to this country from thirty to thirty-flve mll- lion foreigners. No one with @ sane mlnd would for a moment think of denying the great and invaluable contribution that these foreion-born citizens made to the progress and prosperity of the United States, and our peo- ole have not always been careful to see that they were given the proper opportunity to come into direct touch with American life. But that is another matter. An outstanding fact is this. that of these millions of immi grants perhaps ninety five per cent came from coun- tries in which class favoritism existed, and eX- ists today in many cases, and not only was looked upon as normal but proper Hence these immigrants came to America with the idea of betterng their condition, and if possible, becoming the favored classes in the new world. Unfortunately they were not all to become real Americans in every sense of the word, like Carl Schurz, Hans Kudlich, James Wll- son and Franklin K. Lane, but brought their old-world prejudices and ideas with them.
 As a result, this new element has gradually permeated our national life with class ideas, class selfishness, and class assertiveness The radical and socialistic forces of this country are mainly recruited from the foreigners, as the names prominent in their organizations show, and they continually prate about 'cass struggle'' and other un-American ob- jectives Of course the selfish people who ex ist here as everywhere, were quick to take ad- vantage of the opportunity, and have played upon the beliefs and prejudices of the more icnorant foreigners, and to their own advant- age This is one of the reasons why the labor unions have been founded and have prospered, for the laborers must act in self-defense. But it is significant how many of the present dominant union officials and leaders are of foreign birth They have brought European ideas of class struggle with them, and this is the curse of the relations between capital and labor in this country today. The difficulty is here, and must be met in some way if this nation is to continue on the lines that made it great, and set it in the forefront of real pro gress toward the highest ideals of civilization and humanity How can it be met? Here lies the problem for our most constructive and pa riotic thinkers, both men and women.

PREPARE FOR NEXT SEASON

Anchorage gracefully accepts defeat and acknoy iedges that the Cordova baseball team is superior to the pick of our three teams. The Seward baseball team beat us two out of three games in IT; Cordova invaded Anchorage and swamped us, winning all three games of the Cordova-Anchorage memorable baseball series. Let us hope, and pray that Anchorage has learned her baseball lession; twice is enough.
 Except in possibly one or two positions An chorage players are equally as good baseball players as Cordova, but when it comes to team work Cordova is entitled to all honors It has been proven that it is fallacy to select the best players from our three teams and try to mould baseball team over night--it simp ly can't be done; we've tried it twice and twice we have lost. Anchorage has a very sue cessful triangular league, composed of three local teams. The three teams forming the local

HARDING' CALMNESS AS AN ASSET

My one outstanding conviction, after 1G months in the presidency says MT. Harding. ''is that the greatest traitor to his country is he who appeals to prejudice and inflames passion, when sober judgment and honest speech are so necessary to firmly establish tranquility and security"
 The President has been criticised because he apparently fears to make enemies. It has been said that he can never hope to get anywher simply by being "a good fellow"
 But the President has remained calm. lie has refused to appeal to prejudice and to in flame passion. It is because he has thus acted that he can say "In our international rela- tions all is Well'

THE ESSEX MAKES
A PERFECT SCORE
Returned Winner for Third Consecu-
tive Time in One Day Relia-
bility Contest.

Driving an Essex car, William
Stuart, for the third consecutive
time, won the one-day reliability con-
test promoted by the Royal Automo-
bile Club of Australia against thir-
teen. other American and European
cars. His car made perfect mark in
every part of the contest, scoring
400 points out Of possible 400.
Mr.. Stuart has driven this same
car in contests for two years and has
never been beaten.
The contest included three sections
general reliability, gas consump-
ton and hill climbing. The general
reliability section comprised a sealed
bonnet nonstop engine run, points
being deducted for effecting any re-
pairs, adjustments or requirements
to the car, including tire repairs
which occupied more than limited
time. The cars had to be fully loaded
and in complete touring condition so
that actual touring conditions were
duplicated to the greatest extent pos
sible.
The test for gas consumption was
from Sydney to Kurrajong Heights
combination of rather poor roads,
and return, more than 1902 miles. "A
rain and the mountainous country
made it very thorough test of the
merits of each car entered" accord
ing to the Sydney Herald.
Gasoline consumption was decid-
ed on the R. A. C. formula" says this
paper, Gin which the distance (miles
per gallon) is multiplied by the re-
suit Of dividing the weight in pounds
by 224O. The hill climb was also de-
cided by formula, the time in seconds
and horsepower being multiplied to-
gether, and the result divided into the
weight of the car in pounds"
The Essex made the 102 miles on
2.6S gallons of gas, averaging 1910
miles per gallon. 1t was given 100
points for this remarkable feat, a
similar number for placing first in the
hill climb and a perfect 800 in relia-
bility.

ATLAnTIc-pAcIFlc HIGHWAY

Progress of Organization: The At
lantic-Pacific Highway now has state
organizations in eight states, Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas,
Oklahoma, Texas, and New Mexico.
Each state organization is being
urged by the Executive Committee to
use every effort to get every mile Of
the Highway in their state included
in the Federal Aid System, which is
now being adopted by every state in
the United States. Federal Aid roads
will receive Federal and State Aid in
construction and State maintenance,
and unless roads are in the Federal
Aid System there will be little chance
Of their being improved. Federal
Aid roads will also receive much
prestige and publicity, which will not
be obtained by other roads. Accord
ingly, it is of the utmost importance
that the members of the Atlantic-Pa-
cific Highway in each State support
the State organization in having all
the Atlantic-Pacific Highway recog-
nized as a Federal Aid Road. Ari-
iona, Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas
have already reported that every
mile of the Atlantic Pacific Highway
in their respective states has been
adopted as Federal Aid Road. We
hope every other state on the line will
soon be able to make a similar re-
port.
West Virginia Section: The Exec
utive Committee has adopted route
across West Virginia subject to the
usual provisions Of cooperation. The
line adopted passes from Hunting
ton, Charleston, Montgomery, Lewis
burg and White Sulphur Springs. On
account of an unusual condition ex-
listing between Montgomery and
Lewisburg, there being two Federal
Aid roads between these towns, one
being a direct route saving twenty
five miles, the other longer route
with several important road connec-
lions, and excellent towns offering
splendid service to travellers, the Elk
ecutive Committee has designated
two divisions of the Atlantic-Pacific
Highway between Montgomery and
Lewisburg.
Tourist Notes of Interest on the
Atlantic-P Pacific Highway:
On Thursday night, June 9th, at
one of the tourist camps on the At
lantic-Pacific Highway, 1872 cars
spent the night.
One city Of 10000 population on
the Atlantic-Pacific Highway reports
that one tourist spent over $4,000
while stopping on his trip.
Logan, New Mexico, reports that
since the new bridge was opened
there few months ago, more cars
have passed through on the Atlantic
Pacific Highway than the total num-
Der that had passed through in all
previous years.
Liberal, Kansas, reports that its
enlarged camping ground has been
crowded with tourist cars for the
past six weeks, as many as sixty cars
being counted there some nights.
Marking of Ohio Section: Within
a few days every mile of the Alp.
across Indiana will be marked and
work will begin Immediately upon the
Ohio section.
