known as American" because 1t was
so much oftener worn here than there.
There are straw hats in Paris at
this time of year, though often they
are so much covered with silk or
other materials as almost to hide the
straw foundation. But interest in the
straw hat will soon wane in Paris and
by Summer there will be the little
felt hats and the hats of fabric. This
seems hardly sensible, but it's idle
to look for reasonableness in fashions.

Birth Rate Menaces
 Old American Families

Urhana h. size of the Ameriean famiIA a stock in one genera ton 6z d 383 per cent, accord ing te h her, professor of sociol- oEy aa aug University of Illinois, who added Jaa5 today the native stock fam fly has less than three children, while it requires four, under the present mor tality and marriage rate, to replace the stock without any increase.
 "It is not necessarily tragedy that much of our native stock is dying out and that our increase comes wholly from foreign stock, for foreign is eer- 9aioly not synonymous with inferior, " said the professor. Yet few will admit the desirability of such rapid replace ment of our native stock, for it contains some of our most precious population clements. When we see 13 per cent of our native families childless, and IS per cent more with only one child each, it seems to be significant.
 Turning to the educational side of the situation, Professor Baber declared Far too many of our educated people oither sidestep marriage or marry too late in life to have a family. From one. half to three-tfths of our best edu- cated women are having no share in producing the next generation, due either to uon-marriage or childless riage."

Colonel J. G. Steese
 Big Asset to Alaska

While discussing the assets of the Te@ritory of Alaska let us not forget Colonel James Gordon Steese, who has secured larger appropriations for Alaska than ever were made before, notwithstanding the determination of President Coolidge and leaders in Con gress fo decrease the governments ex- penses.
 As result of Colonel Steese's inde- fatigable work at Washington the past few months the Alaska Road Commis- sion will get direct appropriation of $900,000, which is Sl75, ,000 larger than the appropriation of last year, and, with the other funds available, will give the commission Sl, ,250, GOO for the present year.
 The Alaska Road Commission has probably done as much, if not more, for the real benefit of the Territory than any other organization, and has been splendidly organized from the begin- hing. It found Alaska almost com pletelv without roads. while today there are hundreds of automobile roads, besides sled roads and trails over which freight may be hauled.

Predicts Boom for Coal
 in States, Due to Oil
 Production Shortage
Anchorage Times.


 'Inside of two years, /" states Captain Austin E. Lathrop, who returned from an extended tour of the States vester- day afternoon, "business men of San Francisco are predicting the ultimate reversion of all railroads back to coal burning in place of oil.
 Already cement and gypsum plants" continued Captain Lathrop, ''are converting their power plants from oil sto coal and steamship com panies are laying plans for reversion. Architects who have been planning large apartments and office buildings, who formerly left small place in the basement for boiler and a place for an oil tank under the sidewalk, are now making plans for heating by coal. .
 The reason is f9e to the big shrink age in product-an of oil, especially among the California fields. At the present time fuel oil in Seattle is sell ing at the high price of S2 a barrel. Experts are predicting that within two years the price of gasoline will be in the neighborhood of 50 cents a gallon.
 All this, believes Captain Lathrop, tends to make the Alaskan coal fields come into their own, to furnish coal for the demand that is sure to develop. IL will also help the coal mines of Western Washington and prove big stimulus to business in Seattle.
 At the present time, stated Lathrop, business conditions in the states west of the Rocky mountains are tightening
