JUDGE R|TCH|E TO HOLD COURT SOON
 IN INTERIOR CITY
BRIEF TERM OF COURT TO BE HELD LOCALLY WHILE EN
 ROUTE TO FAIRBANKS

Judge E. E. Ritchie, according to the Cordova Times, has sent the fol- lowing explanatory communication to the deputy clerks of the court, Third division:
 It has been arranged by the De- partment of Justice that I shall go to Fairbanks in January or February to try one or more cases in which Judge Clegg is disqualified. For that reason it will be impossible for me to carry out the plan I had of holding term of court in An chorage or Cordova in one of those months. Please notify the attorneys in your town of this arrangement. Whenever the time is set for my trip to Fairbanks I will give notice to each of you so the attorneys may be informed in advance of the time of my absence.
 As court terms are in existence in Seward and Anchorage I can any court business in either of these towns when I go thru to Fairbanks or on my return.

MEL H0RNER; SEWARD, AND VALLEY IF SMOKES
 IS TOLD 0F IN STORY

Writing under the pen name of Seth Ranger, Frank Richardson Pierce who is rapidly attaining a national reputation in the foremost ranks of authors, features "Mel' Horner, guide and big game hunter, now managing the Overland hotel in this city, in
 story in the December number of the Far West magazine entitled "The Trai- tor in the Cabin" The story deals
 with a man who was treacherous and
 a dumb animal which was loyal. The
 animal, an ermine, had a higher des- tiny than to provide a royal robe.
 MT. Horner, in the story, acts as guide on hunt to a business man
 from the States and around the search | for ermine pelts the story is cleverly
 interwoven. Seward is mentioned as
 we'll as the fact that MT. Horner was
 one of the two men who discovered
 the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes.

Dinner Jacket Tailleur
Is Sensation of Season

The dinner jacket style of tailor
made is the sensation of the sea-
son. There is no sign, however, that
it will become popular with the vraie
elegante. The girl who affects q
masculine style will adopt 1t In order
to distinguish herself from her sisters
who remain faithful to their chiffons
and laces. 1t has arrived a little
late. Paris is In the midst of return
to the ultra-feminine. All the greatest
fashion creators have underlined those
subtle allurements that no woman
worthy Of the name can resist. Mas
culinity makes for monotony, and the
natural woman longs for variety. The
new feminine fashion gives her all
the change she can desire, and for
that reason, apart from its natural
beauty, it is assured of success.
The raised waistline has cleverly
resolved itself into. the >bolero cor
sage, either frankly indicated all
around or simulated by means Of
tucks or plaits. This is most be-
coming to slim figures and is very
suitable for the short skirts that are
promised a renewed lease Of life.
Further, it has the advantage Of be-
ing easier to wear than a definitely
pronounced high waistline.

Use Pastel Coloring @~
~ for Chic Plaid Frock

Paris and Palm Beach both declared
In favor Of plaids. Occasionally these
were in the familiar tartan and bright
colored effects, but 1t was noticed that
the prevailing tendency was toward
the most subtle pastel coloring. III z
Paris originated the vogue Of match
ing the square taffeta scarf In a strik-
ing plaided design with a felt hat
painted in the same pattern and col
ors. This fad quickly found its way
to the smart winter resorts and now
appears among the important fashions
of spring.
There was q time, when a plaid
frock was considered the prerogative
Of the schoolgirl. Today 1t occupies a
most conspicuous position In the ward
robe of any woman who makes the
slightest claim to chic. Those who feel
that an entire frock Of plaid silk or
wool is bit too extreme will approve
the frocks which compromise by trim
ming q monotone fabric, with the plaid.

Chiffon, Embroidered
Dresses for Evening

For evening dress 1t is case Of
the plain ethereal chiffon gown
against the more elaborate embroid-
cred creations. Both are equally
popular and suit women Of widely
different types. Printed chiffons are
much used for evening gowns-in-
deed, even more so than last season.
Lace, too, is enjoying splendid vogue,
both in black and all manner Of love-
ly colors. The beaded gown dies
hard. It has a competitor in the
sequined dress and in the new chain
mesh In gold and silver that is being
used by some couturiers, but moth
ing seems likely to dislodge it def
nitely from the position Of popularity
1t has held for so long. " :.
A striking trimming note which is
to be exploded by French
followers of fashion is the matched
fur trimming. The fur is dyed to
exactly match the principal color of
the costume and the effect Is as un-
usual as 1t Is smart.

Smart Coats for
AGirls and Women
III III - Fl AZ
Attractive : Materials and
Shades Are Available;
..,..... Skirts Plated. .,......

Coats for the junior crowd are, I'M
usually smart this year. The sports
things are shown In fabrics that be-
long additionally and logically to
heavier garments, both imported and
domestic. Few Of the crude colors and
startling patterns of last year are
anywhere in evidence. Now and then
something really chic Of conspicuous
design Is shown, but the keynote is
restraint. The plain tailored genuine
ly sports type Of top coat Is favored.
The cape-coat, for which the younger
set has shown preference, is usually
made Of plain goods or a small check.
Fur Is used on almost every type Of
coat except the raglan. Very few
novelties have been added to the
radical styles Of the autumn, but
some furs that are modish for misses
sports coats are the oyster-gray car
acul, monkey, summer ermine, civet
cat, baby leopard and the old and al
ways beautiful silver and blue foxes.
With the jumper the latest skirt
Is invariably plated, giving greater
freedom Of movement and additional
smartness Of appearance. For this the
materials differ very little from those
Of last season. Their selection de-
ponds largely upon the occasion for
which the suit Is made. For the spring
out-of-doors activities there are the
new worsteds and woolens, practicable
for a jumper suit because they are
finer and lighter than heretofore.
They are soft, firm, silky In texture
and include the newest colors. In plain
goods, which Is increasingly fashion
able in contrast to sharp and. con-
spicuous patterns just past, are love-
ly reps, poplins, wool crepes, kasha,
plain and novel basket-weave tweeds,
cashmere. jersey. ..........
Varying from these are fabrics
which are shown in beige, tans,
browns, green's and blues, with much
red. In these delightful new achieve
ments Of the loom are many novelties
In stripes, mixtures, broken patterns
and checks, which are particularly
good this season. In the, check pat
terms alone are many interesting and
unusual arrangements, giving novel
effects and pleasant variations of
color. Some large plaids and block
checks are shown. But these are ex-
ceptional. The correct thing for the
Junior and misses dress of whatever
type Is small check of even or I'M
even spaces. ..
There Is scarlet, flame, geranium,
coral and a few Of the softer tones
copied from fabrics from the Far
East. ...,.-...... 49, ........- -. e.

Why. Your Radio Tube.
: Need Filament Light

The fact that radio bulb does emit
light is entirely an incidental feature
of its. operation. What is desired in a
tube iss.a flow of little particles Of
electricity called "electrons," and the
easiest, way to obtain 1t Is to burn
certain kinds of wires in glass bulbs
from which the air has been e1-
hausted. -.
THE temperature must be quite high
In order to make the flow copious, and
most wires must be heated white-hot
by the; current from the A battery for
proper operation. OF course, @the in
.candescent wire, or ''filament," as it
IS correctly called, emits considerable
light, but this phenomenon has abso-
lutely no connection with the. func-
tioning Of the tube from the radio
standpoint.
It is quite possible to obtain g
stream of the minute electrons in q
tube by the use of certain substances
known as radioactive" materials, but
their expense and rarity make their
practical application extremely limit
ed. Radium and radium compounds
are foremost In this radioactive
group, so the cost Of tubes equipped
with filaments of this precious ele-
ment can easily be imagined. No A
battery incidentally, would be re-
quIred tor such tubes, as the flow OF
electrons from radioactive compounds
is automatic and continuous. 4
Certain less expensive chemical
compounds of high electron emitting
properties have beenS successfully
employed in radio tubes. The wire
