Two Woman Plan Trip
Into Arctic Regions

VANCOUVER, B. Con an adven.
turous trip, which will take them into
the Arctic Circle, travelling to the
north country from Edmonton, Alta,
by rail and canoe, two English women
recently arrived In Edmonton.
They are Miss Clara G. Rogers of
Truro Cornwall, and Miss Gwendoline
Dorien Smith Of the Isle of Wight.
The purpose of the trip, said Miss
Rogers, who is writer of note lis to
see the vast country" and collect flora,
which will be presented to the Kew
Gardens Museum.
Both have travelled extensively in
foreign countries and have experienced
many hardships, including war service
as nurses with the British Army
From Edmonton they will proceed
by rail to the end of steel. then to
Aklavik on the Mackenzie, and to Fort
MACPHERSON, where Indian guides will
take them by canoe up the Peel River.
They will then cross the height Of land
and then down the Rat River to the
Porcupine and drift down through to
the Yukon and then to Anchorage or
Seward, Alaska. They expect to be
gone two months on their trip, after
which they will go to Vancouver. They
will return to England in September.

Construction Starts
On New Idaho Building

UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO, Moscow.
Work on the new $4,000 home of
Pi Beta Phi, national sorority, is pro-
crossing rapidly and indications point
definitely to its completion by Septem-
Der 10, in time for the opening of the
fall semester. Pi Beta Phi was the
second sorority to start building plans
this summer, construction of new
$4,000 house for Kappa Alpha Theta
having been previously begun.
The new Pi Phi house will be one of
the most beautiful buildings on the
campus. 1t Is to be of the modern
English type of architecture, and the
exterior will be of red tapestry brick.
The home will be completely fur
nished by the architects, who will
either design or select the furniture in
accordance with the architectural
period. Woodwork is to be of walnut
throughout The walls will be given
the extremely rough, varicolored
Thirty-five girls will be accommo-
dated. In addition, two complete suites
will be provided in the basement for
cook and a housekeeper The care
OF the home will be left entirely in the
hands of the one housekeeper. This
is an experiment which 1t is believed
will be more practical and convenient
than the usual method, under which
the girls themselves do the homework.
The Pi Beta Phi house will be one
OF the two group homes on the campus
with enclosed, heated sleeping porches.
The Phi Gamma Delta house, complet-
ed last December, is the other.

CONTINUED from Last Week.

A week passed. The snow melted
and more snow came; once again the
great hills were wrapped in winters
cold, pale shroud. Bear Creek Buck
master spent the most of those bleak
and desolate days in floorless anc
wind-swept uobacco-barn; he ate what
ever he could find to eat and always
he was trying to think of a possible
way out of the hole he was In. Hao
it not been for 'Liz'beth he woulc
have gone to some new country of the
West or Northwest to begin life all
over. He couldn't leave his noun
tains! not now, after her telling him
that she would marry him when he
asked her. He decided that he would
hold up no more payroll messengers.
The snow melted agai, rain came
mercury went down like rocket all
over eastern Tennessee. Buckmaster's
temporary quarters became decidedly
uncomfortable and he started for a
deserted old cabin on the eastern
slope Of the Big Bald, cabin that
had fireplace; nobody would live
there because it was SO far from the
beaten paths and because man, a
moonshiner, had been killed in the
doorway.
By noon on Saturday he had
reached the crest of the Big Bald's
highest eastern spur, and he halted to
look over the broad stretch of rugged
country lying below him. Suddenly
hiskeen eyes made out the figure of
a man on horseback on a winding
trail mile down the slope. The
horse was light gray, by which
Buckmaster concluded - correctly
that the rider was a cattle-buyer from
the lowland, an elderly fellow named
Rubens. Then his eyes caught some
thing else and he uttered a little ex-
clamation that was half oath.
Down there small and wiry man
in logger's clothing was sneaking
afoot toward a shallow ravine which
Rubens would doubtless ride into
within five minutes, and his motive
for thus crossing the cattle-buyer's
trail was plainly no honest one.
Buckmaster drew his revolver and
stole rapidly down the mountainside
toward the wiry little man. But he
reached the ravine too late. The hold
up was over; a shot had been fired
and Rubens was gallpping wildly for
the lowland when Buckmaster arrived.
The robber stood half hidden in the
scrub beside the bridle-path. He was
staring at rather fat wallet that he

Colonial Interiors Revived

COME people have an idea that
Opaint, as an interior wall decora-
ton, has but recently come into
vogue. A visit to the American
Wing of the Metropolitan Museum
of Arts, in New York, proves the
contrary. Painted walls apparently
were much in vogue in great-grand-
mothers day.
For the early American bedroom,
in particular, paint offers the best
background. A light, plain wall
paint throws into relief the framed
silhouettes and quaint, old prints
which belong to that period;
whereas, against a darker back
ground, they would lose their ef-
feet.
1t is fascinating to make over an
f. ordinary bedroom into the fashion
of the early American period. The
room must first be robbed of every
modern feature, and a new start
made. First, the walls may be
painted light buff, and the wood
work white. On the floor, black
paint will be exceedingly effective
with this light setting; and to add
to the durability of this floor,
coat of varnish should be applied

Right-Cleaned eggs being candIed as

face.
In this interesting process, the eggs
are placed three dozen at a time on
a moving endless conveyor consisting
of rubber-covered rollers which re-

Careful management, efficiency and
making the greatest use of available
resources have raised the poultry in
dustry of Western Washington not
only to an enviable place among the
states greatest industries but to a
point Of excellence that cannot be
duplicated throughout the world. For
instance, Western Washington eggs,
marketed through the Washington Co
operative Egg and Poultry Associa-
ton, command a price in New York
markets that ranges all the way from
one to two cents dozen more than
California eggs and from two to four
cents dozen more than eggs actually
laid within New York state.
Some idea of just what this has
meant to the poultrymen of Western
Washington may be CLEANED from the
fact that the volume of business done
by the Association last year was
practically $11,OOO,O0O, and there is
every reason to believe that even this
stupendous figure will be far surpassed
during the present year

Owing to a lavish use of con- trasting trimmings, black frocks are among the most youthful of the seasons creations. When color is undesirable. arresting effects are achieved by means of white com- bined with steel beads or rhine- stone effects.
 It would be difficult to imagine q more thoroughly individual frock than the afternoon model sketched today youthful affair of black crepe satin, white chiffon and rhinestones.
 The yoke, with it's interesting geo. metric edge outlined with rhine stones is white chiffon. It is t1n- ishcd with a soft standing collar and further accentuated by q cluster Of white gardenias. The bodice is otherwise plain save for cape in the back split in the center.
 A happy combination of straight lines and faring details Is fea- ture of the skirt. To the straight satin foundation are attached two tiers of narrow panels that give an appearance of continual motion. The narrow belt slips through a small diamond buckle placed at low waist-linc.
 The white chiffon yoke on thls black satin frock Is cdgci with a line of small rhincStons-s. This trimming appears again on the culIs.
