 Wien is en route to Omaha to report on flying conditions in Alaska He said his company has been operating three alrplan es out of Fairbanks and that next summer two more vii! be added of suffici 'nt power to to take passengers and frel ght ocross the mountain range.
 Wien predicted that the next big gold rush in Alaska will bring air transportation still more into pay. Distances now are being cut down, and travellers who for merly required weeks to reach a destination use planes and get there in few hours. The advant age tO the feverish gold seeker would be enormous.

LIGHT ON CITY HALL MATTER

evening listened to reports on the
meeting of the st. Louis County
Club given by w. E. Engiund, A. L.
Richey and DR.. j. E. Thompson.
James Moonan reported on the meet
ing of the Ten Thousand Lakes
Association and Mayor Hanson as
chairman of the Hotel Committee re-
ported on the matter of the new
hotel. All of these reports were of
particular interest.
The Club passed a resolution
pledging its unanimous support to
the Great Lakes st. Lawrence water
way project and instructed its dele
gates to the Tidewater convention in
st. Paul on January 5 and 6 to ex-
press the sentiments of the Club at
the meeting and do all in their pow

HIGHWAY PAVEMENT

One of the largest continuous
highway pavements in the world
new extends 1875 miles on one of
the heaviest travelled state trunk
routes in Minnesota, highway bull
letin announces this week, follow
ing opening of a new connection
sorth of Fairbault.
The long ribbon of pavement
stretches from a point six miles
south of Owatonna on Trunk High
way No. l through the Twin Cities,
On T. H. No. to st. Cloud and on
T. H. No. q through Little Falls to
Belle Prairie. 1t is believed one of
the largest unbroken STITCHES of
pavement, and while many states
have paved mileages much larger
than that of Minnesota many are
disconnected.
Construction next year of connec-
tons on the Duluth-St. Paul section
tf T. H. No. will give Minnesota a
continuous pavement over $50 miles
long, running from the Owatonna
terminal through st. Paul and Du-
luth and the Iron Range to Grand

broadcast to the effect that taxes
would be raised by the erection. Mr..
Hanson showed where the city tax
rate this year was much lower than
last. He also showed where the new
city hall was necessity and how
it would be financed without an adj
dttional levy besides completing the
paving program begun last year. He
stated that all increases in the tax
rate of the municipality was charged
W to the city council whereas three
other units in the taxation scheme,
viz; the state, county and school dis
trict was concerned, and notwith-
standing the increases in the state,
county and school taxes, the lowered
city rate cut down the total some
thing like four mills this year.
His talk was very instructive and
many who had heretofore been luke
warm on the bond issue changed
their opinion very materially. He.
clearly showed that now was the
time to build the new structure and
that our public city buildings and
also our store and business buildings
were not keeping step with the i'm
provements made in school and resi-
dent construction.

TomorroW's planetary aspects are
very favorable and it is an auspicious
opportunity for the commencement
OF any now task, the making of con
tracts or agreements. or the initia-
ton of any constructive and worth
while efforts. In addition to the
urge that will be created to accom-
plish something. the vibrations will
be very stimulating to all the better
emotions and, as a direct consequence,
harmony and concord should predomi-
nate. More likely than not, the day
will not close without the opportunity y
presenting itself of becoming en-
gagged" The signs are very enCourag
ing. Not quite SO much, however.
as they are for those who embark
on the sea of rnatrimony, which prom
ises to be smooth and plain sailing
until the final harbor is reached.
A boy born tomorrow will enjoy
good health and show steady physical
development, provided he receives
proper alimentation and reasonable
care. A girl. however. will suffer a
good deal of sickness during infancy
and childhood. and will not 'come in
to her own" until her later teens"
They, both boy and girl, will be very
self-willed, and rather resentful OF re
straint. They will, however. possess
such a charm that much will be for.
given them. They should not, how
ever. be foolishly INDUCED or unneces.

makeup is intellectual. rather thar

BEAUTY CHATS
Scalp Massage

II your scalp needs stimulating
there arc many methods OF massage
and it doesn't in the least matter
which you use, SO long as YOU use one
method and stick to it faithfully.
You can massage with the hair
brush. an excellent method. which
makes even the dryest hair glossy.
You must have a fine quality brush
with closely placed, fairly long. stiff
bristles. The thicker your hair the
longer the bristles should be TO reach
down and touch the scalp. The hair
should be parted and the brushing
done away from the parting with
short, quick strokes. Then the hair
should be parted in another place and
tho brushing begun again until all the
scalp has been covered and until 1t all
feels warm and glowing from the
massage.
II you like you can buy fiat rubber
discs for massage. These have dozens
of little rubber teeth growing out OF
them and produce a gentle stimulation
which Is very good for the scalp. a
good plan is to moisten them with hair
tonic and rub this into the head as
you massage
Or you can use your fingers, which
is the easiest way and the quickest.
