 Alaska is a real asset to the nation and not liability in any sense of the word, in the judgment of Congress man Milton w.

 In the Cook Inlet, Prince William Sound and Southeastern Alaska dis tricts which he has personally visit ed, and in Bristol Bay and on the AL aska Peninsula from where he had had reports, the fisheries generally are in good shape, he said. One or two places have been found, he add ed, where it will be necessary for Commissioner O'Malley to apply ad- ditional regulations

he was barely out of reach of Reddy's

you suppose we would go to sleep for
the Winter with the door wide OPEN
Il never supposed anything about
it," confessed Peter. II still don't
understand it."
There isn't much to understand"
replied Johnny. Il simply closed that
door by packing in earth from the
inside. l knew that it would freeze
solid when Jack Frost came Polly
and | don't need much air when we
are asleep for the Winter, and there
was plenty down there for our needs.
With that door shut we knew that We
were not likely to have any un-
pleasant visitors. This morning when
decided to come out, all l had to
do was to dig that earth out and so
open the door. l knew that Reddy
Fox couldn't get in on account of
those rocks at the entrance but with
the door open there would have been
nothing to prevent Shadow the Weasel
from coming in and killing us as we
slept. So | simply closed the door.

New Rooster Bob Gets Approval
BY MARY MARSHALL.

Persistent rumors come from Paris
that fashionable Frenchwomen are
firing of the bob. From the num-
her of times that we have been told
that the mannequins of this, that and
the other noted French dressmaker
are letting their hair grow 1t Is
wonder that there are any short
haired mannequins still to he found.
Yet the BARRIERS are kept husy-trlm-
ming hair already hobbed and bobb1nS
other hair that has never been cut
before. And there seems to be about
as large 2 demand as ever for small
sized hats-hats that are large enough
only for the bobbed head.
Some one explained the other day.
Almost all the ParisianS who have
had their hair bobbed took the pains
to have curls or puffs made of the
hair they had cut off. And these bits
Of artificial hair they wear every
now and then in the evening. Hence
the rumor that they are all letting
their hair grow long. Probably there
are women going back to the long
hair of yesteryear. but probably no
larger number than those having their
hair cut for the first time.
Meantime there are ways and ways
of wearing shorn locks. The bushy
cut that was the original bob is
of course pretty passe. 1t looks al.
most as old-fas hioned now as a rated
pompadour. Some women have their
hair parted in the middle and brushed
straight back on either side.
More generally becoming than this
method of arranging short hair is
the rooster shingle." There is some
thing very boyish about this. The
hair is cut closely enough at the sides,
but is allowed to remain long enough
at the top to permit its being ar
ranged in a sort of puff from front
to back. The longer hair at the top

What Tomorrow Means to You
BY MARY BLAKE.

The planetary aspects of tomorrow
are actively favorable and are, in
their effects, decidedly practical, ra-
Their than emotional. You will feel
such a degree of sef-confidence and
Self-asSura that YOU will not fear
% tackle those tasks that have hither-
70 dismayed YOU, and huoyed up. as
YOU will he. with proportionate con-
ception of your own ability, much will
be accomplished that. on other less
propltious occasions, would appear to
be impossible of achievement. Take
advantage to The utmost of this condi-
ton, and make an effort to do those
things that have been in your mind for
some long time, but which you have
hesitated to essay before for fear of
failure.
Children born tomorrow will. accord
ing to the signs, enjoy normal health
during infancy and have an exuber-
ance of vitality. which, in later years,
may tempt them Ito bite off more
than they can chew" Discretion must
be taught them. as the lack of pru-
dence, or overConfidence, may bring
about results that will be regretted.
Temperamentally they will be open
hearted. frank and truthful. 1t will
be difficult to induce them to study con-
scientiously, as their natural inclina-
ton will be inimical to indoor life or
any task that involves confinement
They will possess dispositions that
will endear them to all. even if they
should not be productive of material
gain or advantage.
If tomorrow is your birthday, the
keystone of your character is YOUR
great love for your family. You take
your responsibilities very seriously and
all your actions are based on the ef-
feet that they will have on your loved
ones. This is a valuable asset. as. be-
ing ambitious for others. it forces YOU
to strive for success and acts as a
spur that leads you on to victory. For
the ones you love you would attempt
anything, and this. more than any
thing else, has contributed to your

as your individual wants are simple.
you would be satisfied with very little.
You are whole-hearted. generous and

Keeping Up the Correspondence
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

The very words of New Year day
bring train of genuine thoughts Of
doing ones best, of turning over a
new leaf and accomplishing all the
many things one has planned TO do
previously without effect. We may
laugh at the idea of doing differently.
because resolutions are so apt to be
broken. However, it is wiser to de-
termine to do better than to be sat
isfied with things as they are, If we
could wish to improve them.
One thing that few women are sat
isfled with is their correspondence.
They wish more letters had been
written to loved ones at A distance;
that friends might have had some
word from them, letting them re-
alize that remembrance followed
them wherever they went or how
far they journeyed. Then. too, for
their own sake they could wish that
they were better correspondents, for
letters sent mean letters received
and it is one of the joys of modern
life to hear frequently from ones
friends.
Convenience An Asset.
Having letter-writinG materials
handy is one of the greatest aids to
writing letters. 1t Is most disturbing
TO sit down thinking everything is
ready and then find that the right
size Of note paper Is missing, that
the pen point is fuzzy and there is
no penwiper: that the letter Is I'm
ished, the envelope sealed and di-
rected and stamps are lacking. etc.
Then one Is apt to jump up, pen in
hand and hurry to get the necessary
things, with the result that ink drips
and the frock gets spotted This IL
discouraging. 1t is one Of the easiest
things to happen, however.
Seasonable Suggestion.
II. during the coming year we
would actually enjoy our CORE
spondence we must make ready for
1t. Could any time be better for this
than now, when there are many
thank you letters to send for Christ
mas gifts? If you have a writing
desk, see that it is properly fitted.
There should be stationery Of a least
two sizes-letter and note paper and
envelopes to match each. Quill pens
are decorative accessories and use
full, too, but nothing quite equals
smoothly running fountain pen.
There should be writing fluid espe-
cially adapted to the fountain pen If
that is the kind used. or ordinary ink
of good quality. A large hlottins pad
on which to write should be aug
mented by small blotters. II you have
-, each with small sheet calendar
for one month in the year pasted in
one corner. YOU will always know the
date. An ink eraser. as we'll as a pen
ell eraser and well pointed pencils
should be handy. If the desk has
pigeon holes no letter holder will be

1t should have two sections, one for
answered and the other for unan-
swered letters. Letter scales will be
found tremendously helpful.

Peter Rabbit wasn't kept a prisoner
in Johnny Chuck's house so very long,
after all. You see. Bowser the Hound
happened to wander over that way,
and Reddy Fox didn't wait. AS soon
as Peter heard Bowser's great voice
as he started off on Reddys trail he
knew that it was safe to go out, and
out he went in hurry.
once safely back in the dear old
Rriar Patch his curiosity became
greater than ever. How did it happen
that there was A closed door just
little way from the entrance to
Johnny Chuck's house? Who had put
it there, and what for? What had
happened to Johnny and Polly Chuck
asleep way down below? Would he
ever see them again. or had they been
smothered as they slept?
Peter asked all his friends, but none
of them knew anything about that
closed door in Johnny Chuck's house.
Some of them didn't even believe that
there was such a closed door. And so
all Peter could do was patiently to
wait for the coming of Spring, when
Jack Frost would leave, and he.
Peter. could dig through that door Of
earth and find out what was behind
it, That Is what he had made up his
mind to do.
But he didn't have to. One day in
March he happened over that way
and there sat Johnny Chuck on his
doorstep. Never had Peter been more
glad to see him.
"Oh, Johnny" he cried. Il was
afraid l never would see you alive
again."

he demanded.
Because some one. | don't know

HOW IT STARTED
Liquor. +"
BY JEAN NEWTON.

Liquor,
Words may lead us into strange
ways! One of these is the conclusion
that liquor is a perfectly innocuous
state Of liquidity, so to sreak-a sim.
BILE liquid. For that is the meaning
that is written in the syllables of the
word, it's original significance,
Liquor" comes from the middle
English "licour" through the Latin
liquor" from ''liquere sim
ply Ito be liquid" So liquor means
simply to be liquid, and its original
significance is still preserved in mod
ern speech in uses which we regard
as secondary meanings of the term.
For instance, in the Technology of
the cook, the jelly or broth of soup is
its liquor and in the parlance of
the pharmacist, the word names a So
LUTON of medicinal substance in wa
ter.
1t might be a point scored for the
anti prohibitienists to advise our law
makers Of the absolute harmlessness
Of liquor"

The miller's daughter had just
wished for the reward in order that
she might have fine dowry, when a
great surprise came to her. A coy
fire was burning inside the summer
house on the kings grounds and there
was little table all set with dainty
food. There was writing carved into
the stone of the fireplace, and this is
what it said:
"Of comforts here partake, but of
thy speech beware"
But she had no sooner seated her
self to eat than she heard a crying
and signing and saw a young man
standing at the door
For whom are the fire and food
and couch?'' he asked.
For myself" she answered.
For an instant his face bore
troubled look. then he vanished. When
the girl turned again to the table it,
too, was gone and all the other com
forts.
This dress belongs to the miller's
eldest daughter. 1t is brown. with
blue apron and collar. Her shoes and
stockings are brown with blue ribbons
about her ankles.
