Alaska News Notes

Lee and Ereo Johnson, two miners employed St the Fern mine. at the head of Archangel creek, in the Willow Creek district, while eating their mid T. fight lunch in the blacksmith shop at the mouth of tunnel No. 2, were buPied by snOwslide recently, which came dowE,the mountain, crushing the shop Hat. Lee Johnson was held prone across the forge. while Ereo was fat on his back on the floor, with his arm extended to where it touched the cor rugated iron roof. When the two men did not show up in the morning the men on the day shift went in search of them, and found Ereo's hand sticking out of the snow just beneath the roof, on which he had been tapping all night to attract attention. He wa3 conscious when rescued. Digging little further they found Leo Johnson, unconscious, but he was revived after about two hours of massaging and first aid treatment
 A suit has been filed at Juneau to test the legality of the graduated sal mon tax law passed by the last legsla- ture. The law, which provides for cax on canned salmon ranging from 2 cents to 20 cents per cases depending upon the size of the pack, is attacked on, the ground that the law does not impose an equal tax on all salmon can ners, is therefore class legislation, and fs void. The action was started by the Pacific American Fisheries Company, but it is understood that all of the big canning interests are behind it. At sorney.

Friendly Shawl Shown
by Paris Designers

The shawl has not said it's last word
to the fashionable public Smart Paris
designers are showing it in new pat
terms to be worn with autumn models,
and fashionable resorts are not with
out quantities Of them.
Huge shawls of brocaded gold and
silver are a feature of one of the
grande couturiers, who copied them
after a very ancient one. 1t is repro
duced with marvellous precision, in
color and has all the grace and sup
pleness OF modern fabrics.
Another designer is making a
speciality Of brocaded shawls of silk,
deeply fringed They are not exactly
"modernist' in design, although they
are the most modern things to put on
these days. They have curious his
tory, silk weavers coming from Venice
(where brocades are made and have
been made for long time) to the fair

manufacturers, many Of whom devote
their whole product to designs which
will please the races east Of the Bos-
phOruS.

Chintz Gown Novelty
Makes It's Appearance

An absolute novelty is the chintz
gown that has made its appearance in
designs by Partisan artists. 1t is SO
we'll liked that many charming models
Of it are shown by American design
ers. Chintz was first introduced in
garden frocks, anticipating the later
season, and it has also been used by
some of the best known couturieres to
establish gowns of more formality for
afternoon and evening wear.
Philippe ct Castor have designed a
strikingly handsome and decidedly
elaborate toilette of chintz in bright
colored flower pattern, which is further
elaborated with silk embroidery, and
is combined with twilled material in
plain color.
In another model-an evening gown
of Partisan authorship, in flowers and
scrolls in lovely colors on an ivory
ground-the pattern is traced and
pointed with high lights of brilliant
crystal beads.

To Be Remembered
When Buying Coat
Lines, Watchword When
Tall or Short Woman In
vests in Wrap.

1t may be that you cannot, "by TAX
Ing thought" add one inch to your
stature, but you can, by taking
thought when you go a-shopping, sub
tract, or seem to subtract, inches from
your silhouette, advises fashion
writer in the Kansas City Star.
If you know yourself as thin and
"gangling," even though your friends
kindly describe you as s'tall and slen-
der" be wary as you select one of the
most important articles of your winter
wardrobe-your coat Fashion says,
be slender, not thin, painfully thin.
Now, it is obvious that the particu-
lar subject of your concern should be
line. The general rule you should re-
member is that long lines from Shout
der to foot give height !; and you
should, accordingly, avoid length of
line, selecting, rather, a garment which
Incorporates some feature that sue
cessfully ''cuts' height.
Horizontal lines crossing the figure
are one of the first aids to the too tall
woman who would appear more petite.
Look, then, for a coat which achieves
horizontal line, either by arrangement
of the garment itself or of it's trim

zontal, seems 20 increase the size of

Followers of Fashion
Will Know New Modes

It is important to bear in mind that
the new offerings of the Paris design
ers by no means represent the final
autumn mode, judgment on which must
be, deferred until the public reaction
can be gagged, asserts a Paris fashion
correspondent in the New York Herald
Tribune.
The points of departure between the
new mode and the old are numerous
but not radical There is a definite
trend toward new ideas in waistline,
sleeves and silhouette, although these
changes have not met with favor
among the ultra-conservative element
which hesitates to sponsor any theme
that is distinctly different. 1t is our
prediction, however, that, as the season
progresses, the new tendencies will
meet with such favor and become so
pronounced that even the most casual
diletante will be readily able to dis
tinguish the new autumn mode from
tic predecessor.

Of all concerned. 1t is just as natural
for the little ones to romp as it is
for them to breathe and they always

of the day. Clothes tnat will stand

with a view to easy ironing and last

of this kind are shown-on the little

over pants that button to a waist.
The collars, cuffs and ties are just
alike and there Is little difference in
the sox and shoes. Some designers Of
clothes for children show suits for
little four or five-year-old boys and
girls that are exactly alike, except
that skirts or boomers are made for
girls and short plain trousers for boys

CRANBERRIES USED
IN DIFFERENT WAYS
Excellent Dish When Served
in a Baking Dish.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
In addition to being spread on
shortcake, cranberry sauce can be com
bined with biscuit dough in several
ways. Served in baking dish, COW
cred with a biscuit top, it becomes
cranberry cobbler"; spread on
square of biscuit dough such as one
makes for Dutch applicable, and then
baked, it makes cranberry cake
which many people would prefer to a
tart or other pastry.
Cranberry pie may be made of cram
berry sauce or cranberries either with
or without raisins. When equal parts
of raisins and cranberries are used
it is often called ''mock cherry" pie
Cranberry pies are usually made with
out a top crust, although lattice of
pastry strips may be used, or a
meringue may be spread over the top
and dellcately Drowned. In varia-
ton Of "mock cherry" pie recommends
ed by the United States Department
Of Agriculture, chopped, pitted, cooked
prunes are substituted for raiSins.
Cranberries may be introduced in
many dishes where cherries would be
used in the spring. A hot steamed
pudding made by biscuit dough recipe
is excellent if one cupful of cranber-
ries is stirred in for each pint Of flour.
Cranberries may be used in richer
steamed buildings with more eggs and
other ingredients; they may be put
into baked or boiled bread buildings,
cabinet or stale cake pudding, or
plain batter pudding. Most of these
desserts require a sauce Of some sort.
A soft 'hard" sauce is excellent with
any Of them or a liquid sauce, such
as foamy or lemon sauce, thickened
with egg and cornstarch, or cranberry
sauce itself. Cranberry souffle can
be made if it is not necessary to econ
omize on eggs. Steamed brown bread
may have cranberries in it.

Cheviots and Features
You Should Know About

About this time of year, when one is
looking for warm, compact cloth for
outdoor wear, cheviot on the counter
is positive inspiration, says the Kan
sas City Star.
Now, although you may hear the
term cheviot quite unfortunately ap-
piled to nearly any sort Of heavy,
rough finished wooden material, true
cheviot Is quite a definite thing. 1t is
a worsted or wooden material manu-
featured from "cheviot" or pulled
WOOL" slightly felted, and with short,
even nap. The worsted cheviots are
made from combed yarn, and come in
both plain and fancy effects. The
wooden cheviots are made Of carded
yarn, often with shoddy or cotton in
its makeup.
Whatever the grade of cheviot you
buy, the distinctive feature of the
cloth is its finish. This may be either
trough" or CLOSE" but the chevtot in
the truest sense has the rough finish.
The process Of finishing cheviot is
practically the same, however, regard
less Of whether it is to be "close" or
rough surface. The cloth is washed
just after it leaves the loom, and then
"pulled'-shrunk both in length and
breath. This pulling" process gives
the cloth it's characteristic heavy,
dense effect. The material is then
"gigged" or mapped, and taken to the
shearing machine, where the long, ir-
regular nap is cut down evenly. The
closeness with which the nap is cut
determines whether the cloth is to
have a rough or close finish.
You will know real wool cheviot by
this hairy surface. 1t is usually woven
In twill weave, and appears somewhat
ike serge. If you are in doubt as to
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1924-12-11

whether the cloth is wooden, however,
pull out some Of these threads, and try
on them the usual tests for wool. The
simplest Of these is to burn thread
if it burns slowly, and with disagree
able odor, the thread is wool. il 1t
burns more quickly, with less smell
and brighter flame, it is cotton.
Wool cheviot is exceedingly durable
if you buy it in a good quality But il
you buy a cheap cheviot it not only
looks cheap from the first, but the
hairs soon pull out and wear off.
Cheviot, at it's best, is an ideal suit
material, and you cannot make bet
ter choice for your street costume.
You can buy the cloth in patterns Of
light stripes or small checks.
