 "Gentlemen: In the issue oS May 10, 1922, of the Nenana, News.,, Mrs Sam Dublin, who s--interested in aschain Of stores on the Keyuknk river, states chat the rate from Seattle to Nenaua via the Alaska railroad of sa2 appeared somewhat mythical as he had assshipe+ ment of 136 tons via that route which cost him at the rate of $6l.36 per ton.

Paris Letter
A. P. Correspondence


PARIS, July 24.-(Cab1e letter.
The high waist line and long skirt
continues as the outstanding feature
/ in the advance styles now being pri-
vateIy shown In Paris. Ali the dress
showings have sleeves, and brown
seems to be the most popular color.
The bateaux neck is noticeable on all
the smart new dresses. which seems to
be dominated by straight up and down
lines, especially for the autumn and
winter modes.
Cashmere and Persian materials
will be used extensively during the
coming season, according to the lead
ing designers. Big picture hats will
be seen almost exclusively next fall,
the milliners say. while the small tur-
ban like affairs will be worn more in
the winter months. Brown also has
captivated the nilliners,
Seamless Shoes.
Shoes without seams and gloves
with a cocarde on the side have been
approved by the designers, who also
have adopted dark mahogany color
for the footwear. High boots mostly
buttoned, also are popular. An inno-
walton in shoe styles was noticed at
the opening Of the Deauville season
recently when several models ap-
peared wearing these high boots
equipped with a series of hooks and
eyes which, by means Of a mechanical
arrangement, could be fastened and
linfastened with a single upward or
downward pull on little leather tab.
VaIveIess Motors.
The grand paix automobile race at
Strasbourg last week. and the touring
car race held in connection with the
feature event, have impressed automo-
bile experts that valveless motors are
far more valuable than they had here
tofore supposed. The automobile
classic also convinced many of the ex-
perts that racing cars, except for la
boratory experiments, have little, If |
any, real value. They point out that |
only four OF the 1S original starters |
were in running condition at the end |
of the race, and that one OF the four /
was so far behind 1t had to be tagged |
off the course.
Broken Valves.
An analysis of the race shows that !,
eight entries in the grand prix event
dropped out with broken valves, while
in the touring car races the next day !
three cars experienced valve trouble /
and abandoned the contest. Seven of
the remaining cars were equipped
with far less trouble than the racing
cars and were only 16 per cent slower,
although they weighed twice as much,
were limited in their gasoline carry
