How Much Linen Is A-Plenty

Not very long ago I made the sug-
gestion that for the person VINO
must consider the minimum guam
tity of bed linen. three sheets to
bed and three pillowcases to a pill
low were sufficient to purchase. In
answer to rap.d-fire objection, 1
had to, hasten to state that l had
meant that quantity only for the
minimum number that a person
could afford to have on hand In
fact. ] think it was intimated that
one could not be real clean with
that amount!
The quantity of sheets, table linen.
towels, etc. that it is advisable to
purchase varies with the household,
of course, and with the manner and
scale of living. The woman who
entertains a great deal will require
a more generous supply than the
homemaker who has few guests, and
in the same way the housekeeper
who saves UP her washing and has
a laundress come in every other
week viii keep more pieces of fiat
work going than the one who does
her own every Monday. The ones
most in need of some concrete as
sistance along this line are Mrs
keeper. The woman who has been
running her home smoothly for sew
eral years has usually evolved a
working plan that Is found at least
to be satisfactory Tor ner own needs
and peculiar problems.
But it is no longer considered
good household economics to buy
large quantities of linen to store
away in chests and closets. as it only
yellows with age and wears out and
coils along the edges where il is
folded. With the convenience and
the easy access that the modern
housekeeper has to the department
stores 1t is much more practical TO
, add to the supply from time to time
as needed.
However, unless a housewife feels
| that she must practice the most
rigid economy, 1t is better to have
more than the minimum amount of
bedding and alternate different
sheets, SO that three or four do not
receive all the wear.
If you wish to start housekeeping
| with the minimum amount of table
linen, the usual allowance is: l large
, tablecloth for use when there are
/ several guests; 2 LUNCH sets, for use
at lunch and breakfast; table
cloths, for every day use; l dozen
| dinner napkins; enough napkins.
! breakfast size. to provide at least
| three or four changes a week for each
person.
| 1t is not economy TO use napkins
| until they become so Soiled and stain
! ed that it is necessary to rub them
| hard to get the spots out, as this
| wears out the fabric. The big ad-
| vantage Of luncheon sets is that they
cut down laundry bills. The small
doilies are easier to handle than the

Very early the next morning, after

friend from the Green Meadows up

The very trim, small person, who

brown, with dark streaks and light

and a white stripe above each eye,
looked very hard at Danny. Excuse

Spain and China Fashion Leaders

| gradually made for themselves a place
| in the fashion of the day.
Spain and sChina are the two
sources that play most important
parts in fashion inspiration this VIM
ter 1t would be hard to find smart
lily dressed woman among your ac-
| Quaintances whose clothes did not re-
! fleet somewhat of either.
Oddly enough the two inspirations
show nothing antipathetic. You can
| fashion a frock showing some of one
and some of the other and not make
a hodge-podge. You can wear Chinese
| jade earrings with Spanish comb:
| You can wear or drape shawl OF
Chinese design after the Spanish
manner.
Every woman who can afford it
| buys a Spanish shawl, and decides
what she is going to do with 1t later.
| Difficulties sometimes lie in the way
| of using it as an evening wrap Then
there is wisdom in having 1T used
as the sum and substance of an even
| ing gown.
| The dressmakers have become quite
expert in this matter of using
shawl for an evening gown, usually
without cutting the fabric of the
shawl in a single place. The fad
started in Paris, but has spread until
| our dressmakers have become Just as
expert as those of France.

'Is learning to skate as hard as
skating on rollers or riding a bicycle?"
asked Betty Cut-out as she and her
brother tramped to the pond after
school.
Not if you don't get scared" an
swered Billy. THE trouble with most
girls is that they begin to yell and
squeal with fear the minute their straps
are fastened. and then, of course, they
can't stand up"
Wen, III just act like I've always
known how to skate resolved Betty.
Betty held TO Billy's arm for the
first few minutes after she got her
skates on, then she let go and took two
long bold strokes. Suddenly one foot
started to go oae way and the other
went the opposite. Crash. Bang !.
There was Betty Cut-out fiat on the ice,
her feet flying.

laughed getting up.

 MIN NATURALIZATION

The provision for naturalization of ex-service men made by the Act of Congress approved July 19, 1919, whereby ex-service men may be nat uralized without the usual require ments such as declaration of intention, proof of five years residence in the United States, payment of the custo- mary S4.00 filing fee, and the usual ninety day wait from the date of fil ing petition to the date of final hear ing, will terminate March 3, 1924. Un- der this law any ex-service man de- string naturalization is only required to appear before Naturalization ex- aminer with his honorable discharge and two identifying witnesses for preliminary examination.
 After March 3, 1924, honorably dis charged World War veterans will have to comply with the usual re- quirements for naturalization, in the same manner as aliens in ordinary cases.

PAY MUST BE RAISED

The number of politicians desiring to represent their country at Juneau reaches into a high figure. Cordova has five or six, Valdez, two, Seward, three and Anchorage about fourteen. The offices to be filled number eight or nine, counting divisional offices only. That someone will be lucky by being defeated goes without saying. The average senator and representa- tive going to Juneau, the capital head quarters on Gastineau channel, spends far more than he receives in wages. Everything from house rent to cord wood is boosted in price while the legislature is in session. Rentals go sky-high, while charity balls, subscrip- ton, papers and every form of pry- ing the reluctant official loose from his coin is promoted. There is no doubt but that the pay of a legislator must be raised from $15 to $25 pei day, if men are to be found who are willing to leave their businesses and serve as lawmakers The higher the pay the better the quality of office seeker AS it now stands the only man who can afford to run for office is the man without any regular busi
 ness to take his time from politics.

CAN WE PROVIDE REVENUE

Within a very few years at best, the salmon fisheries, the clam beds and the herring fisheries will be de pleted to a point where only the small Ter concerns can afford to operate. While this would prove a blessing to the Alaskan operator, where will the Territory turn for revenues to meet it's increasing expenditures. The tim Der in larger part of Alaska is too sparse and scrubby to be worth any thing. except for firewood, and up to the present time coal has not Luru pro duced in any considerable quantity. With the revenues from our fishing cries cut off the territory would be in a state of bankruptcy; absolutely ir solvent.
 The question before the people is whether they desire these resources conserved; or dissipated by turning them over to alien interests, to harv- est tie richer crops turning back the stony ground to Alaskans at the ex- pirStio3 of their operations. That the
 fisheries will become depleted is cer- tain. Puget Sound had as extensive fisheries as Alaska has at the present f time, and they were quickly wiped out AS soon as the Puget Sound fisheries ceased paying profits, the cannerymen turned their attention to Alaska, where the field was virgin and profits large.
 Outside capital should not be dis couraged in entering Alaska, but should be compelled to pay as much for doing business as it would pay In Washington, Oregon or California One means of raising revenue would be to tax the personal property oi the companies. This is done in the states, but in Alaska only those can neries located inside of incorporated towns pay any personal property tax This encourages the canners to buile outside of the towns, when in many instances it would be better for the people to have them where work coult be secured more easily.

A REcURRENT DEFICIT

Alaska is again facing the problem of providing for the comfort of the aged pioneer,-the man who still is able to look after his personal needs, but who is not physically vigorous to do a days work as a wage earner. Ac- cording to Lockie Mac kinnon, treas urer of the Pioneers Home, Board of Trustees, no more pension allowances can be granted under the old age pen sion law, because the money has be- come exhausted One hundred and ninety-one pensioners are now on the territorial payroll, of which 25 the wo- men. Under the law these are sup posed to get s25 per month for men, and s35 for women; but the pension CTS claim they have not received these amounts the monthly stipend being much smaller.
 Of the s6O,OO0 appropriated by the legislature, but s38,000 remains in the fund, and the treasurer reports that at the present rate of payment under the law there will be deficiency be- fore the end of the biennium. When this deficiency stops the pension checks the old pioneer will be up against it for livelihood, unless he goes on the indigent list and is paid through Fund c, of the Federal courts. The great majority of independent trail-blazers are averse, and rightly so,

MOTHER OF NINE CONSTABLE
 IN VILLAGE OF SELDOM SEEN

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Feb. 8.-Mrs. Julia M. Fife, mother of nine children a widow, rules Seldom Seen as its con- stable, by virtue of 19 votes of the 25 in the hamlet, in a recent election.
 Seldom Seen, though scarcely more than mile from this city's busiest section, is an inaccessible village of Is homes perched on the edge of a precipitous bluff that comprises a portion of St. Clair township.
 Seldom Seen was the former ren- dez-vous for promoters of cock fights and for a time boasted of several gambling resorts.
 These are gone now, says Constable Fife, thanks to fire, and l don't ex- pect the element that supported them to return. But if they do-" (she dis played a threatening bare arm and a cIenched fist, hardened by unremitting daily manual toiD-"they better not try it."

It is not wise to place a heavy tax on any industry, as it discourages the entrance of capital. The recent tax on gold output proposed by the leg islature, will not act as a stimulus to mining. Neither will large tax on fisheries products serve to stimulate the industry. But we believe that AL aska is not receiving a reasonable quid pro quo for it's resources. The small sum paid for the privilege of doing business in the greatest fisher ies district in the world does not jus tify the decimation of the fishes
 The time to provide a revenue for the next decade is now Whatever the method whether it be by taxa tion, reserves, or cessation of fishing for a certain number of years-it should be considered before the SUD- ply is gone.

IS NEGLECTED STILL

The Dearborn Independent, which claims to be Chronicle of Neglect ed Truth" must have forgotten it's motto, judging from some of the weird tales published about Alaskan facts and follies. Its latest departure from the truth it claims to have neglected for so long is the chronicling in it's January issue that Warm winds have caused the melting ice water to erode new lands and expose deposits of gravel containing rich gold findings" The warmesi wind we have eXpedi- enceG in this neck of the woods was caused when an irate sub>c'iber took exceptiOn |, something in ,oe paper and blew icio our sanctum.

of being classed as indigents. There is no occasion for them to be. If the fund is not sufficient, it should be in creased at the next legislature. Not having the figures at hand we cannot state what it costs to maintain PiO- neer at the Sitka Home; but it is cer- tain that by taking the pension and remaining at home, great saving is made to the Territory. The man who takes care of himself, and lives on the pension, eked out by small jobs, should really receive the money he would cost the Territory at the Home. As it now is, the saving on the 191 pensioners is considerable.
 The shortage of funds in this de- partment is too recurrent to be any thing but serious. It would be much better to have a reserve to be turned back into the treasury at the end of the biennium than to run short and cause universal suffering and want.

FORCES ACTIVE

The anti-Johnson forces in Calitor- nia are unduly active, according to synopsis of anti-Johnson sentiment collected and published recently in the Literary Digest That Hiram Johnson will have great difficulty in securing the delegation to the Republican con- vention from his home state is ac- knowledged by the candidate himself, but the claim is made that the twen- ty-nine votes from California will be more than made up by delegations from other states favorable to the California man.
 The Richardson forces and the Me Clatchy organization are bitterly op- posing Johnson more on account of paying off old scores than because they really believe that Hiram is not the best man for the place, from California standpoint. Johnson's stand on the bonus bill, the tax reduction clause and European questions in cluding the League of Nations, marks him as target for the enmity of the Southern Pacific ring, and their hench men.
 Johnson, who is of the Roosevelt type of statesman, carries tremend- ous appeal to the average citizen, not so much by his spacious promises, as by his way of delivering them, He has a bluff. hearty way of greting the vot- CT that carries weight, and his plat form while impossible of tulfillment' has much in it that causes the think ing voter to pause; even while ne knows that it is political bunk.
