THERE is something of the gallant Cavalier
in the slim grace and easy elegance of
this smart frock with its deep lace cuffs
Aaring above tight cuffs, its fattering lace
collar setting off the slender basque and
its scallop-edged circular skirt swinging
in unstudied flares both front and back.
The scalloped outline in which the skirt
is attached to the basque hints at a
slightly higher waistline, suggestion
favored by the young girls and small
women who will wear this frock. Its
simple yet semi-formal style makes it
most suitable for countless afternoon and
informal evening affairs of the fall and
winter, and it is particularly useful for
the college or boarding-school girl.

ALIENS VIOLATING PROHIBITION
 ACT LOSE CITIZENSHIP

Violation of the prohibition law by an alien who desires to become a naturalized citizen may result in refusal to grant citizenship accord ing to a statement made by Commis sioner of Naturalization Raymond F. Crist. He reviewed decisions of Federal judges who refused citi- zenship on the ground that the ap- plicants had violated the Eight eenth Amendment. In one case cit ed by Commissioner Crist the na- turalization certificate of a recently naturalized citizen was withdrawn because after receiving it he plead guilty to unlawful possession and sale of intoxicating liquor and to the charge of assault on Internal Revenue officers of the United States. In that case the Federal Judge held that the defendant had shown bad faith in violating his oath that he would support the Constitu- tion of the United States.
 Since 1791 the naturalization laws have contained prohibition against the admission of unworthy applicants to citizenship by natur- alization by providing that the courts naturalizing aliens shall be satisfied that during the five years immediately proceeding the applica- tion he has been man of good moral character, attached to prin- cipals of the Constitution of the United States, and we'll disposed to the good order and happiness of the same.

It is related that certain man who apparently didn't like Buddha came up to him and called him a lot of very ugly names. Buddha listened quietly until his reviler had quite run out of epithets, and then said to him:
 "If you offer something to man, and he refuses, to whom, then does it belong "
 "The man replied, Tt belongs, I suppose to the one who offered it.
 Buddha said, "The abuse and vile names you offer me, I refuse to ac- cept." Ditto, says the Alaskan.

ALASKA NEEDS LIBERAL POLICY

I am not in accord with the views on Alaska as expressed in and out of Congress by my neighbor, Congressman Allen T. Treadway, and I am going to tell him so when I return to Massachusetts, said Wm. B. Osgood-Field of Lenox, Mass, to a reporter of the Anchorage Daily Times.
 Alaska presents an unusual prob lem in his opinion and it will re- quire unusual methods to bring about that development which the government seems to desire but ap- parently is unable to bring about. There is too much restrictions, hurt, full retrenchment and lack of under standing, he believes, where there should be liberal policies, generous appropriations and closer contact be- tween the federal government and the people of Alaska.

 Ten years ago the per capita cost of education was $1O6. Today it is $135, due largely to increased salar- ies. This is an increase of 27 per cent.
 Ten years age there was spent the sum of over $272,OOO for the opera tion of Territorial schools; Last year over $5O9,O0O was appropriated for this purpose, an increase of 82 per cent.
 These figure not only indicate the growth of Alaska, from a school standpoint, but is certainly barom- eter with which one can guage not only development of the Territory, but the increased premanancy of it's residents.

 Submarine Earthquake

"All sorts of stories have been circulated to account for the dis appearance and among them is one attributing the death of fish at sea by submarine earthquake distur- bances. We have no record that government regulations which have been adopted in Alaska in recent years for protecting the fisheries have anything to do with the matter. In spite of the disappearance of the fish this year there is every reason to presume salmon in 1928 and later years will continue to make their appearance on the fishing grounds at the outset of the spawning season."

For reasons as yet a mystery to the fishing industry and to govern ment experts the salmon catch on the Pacific coast this year has been reduced to about 50 per cent of the normal. Henry O'Malley, Commie- sioner of Fisheries, estimated the Alaska catch has been cut to three and a half million cases and on Puget Sound it has been reduced to 675,OOO. In British Columbia the catch amounted to 375,0O0 cases or about half of last years pack

 Where were the submarine earth quakes? When did they happen? What facts have been shown where by any relation can be shown to said submarine earthquakes and the disappearance of salmon?

Territorial School Board Presents Facts On
 Growth Alaska
STATISTICS ARE COMPILED. TEN YEARS AGO WITH PRESENT
 DAY, SCHOOLS

The principal speaker at yester- days meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, was Lester D. Henderson, Commissioner of Education, Terri- torial schools of Alaska And MT. Henderson presented conclusive ev- idence, in the nature of figures, which smashes to 'smithereens'' the statement recently made by United States Senator, that the schools of Alaska had decreased enormously in the last ten and twenty years.
 Checking back to a period of ten years ago and comparing the figures of that date with those of today, he uncovered the following Illuminating data:
 Last years school service ended with a growth of 27 per cent in number of schools. There were but GA schools 10 years ago. Today there are S1.
 Ten years ago the high school en rollment was 3,341; today this num- Der has been increased to 4,673, an increase of 40 per cent.
 Ten years ago the elementary en- rollment was 3,030 as against 4,O13l to today, an increase of 32 per cent.
 Ten years ago the high school en- rollment was 911; today it is 669, an increase of 115 per cent.
 Ten years ago there were 145 teachers employed now there areI 216, which is an increase of 49I per cent.
 How do these figures sound?
 Ten years ago there were 29I high school graduates; last yearl there were 96, an increase of 231 per cent.
 Ten years ago graduates from the | elementary grades totalled 112; last year there were 238 graduates, anE increase of 1r3 per cent.
 Ten years ago there were butt six high schools in Alaska. TodayI there are 13 or an increase of 117l per cent
 Ten years ago there were three accredited high schools. Tn this present day and age there are eight; ] an increase of 167 per cent. !
 Ten years ago the average salary of a superintendent or principal wasl $1,664. Today they are receiving an average salary of 2,256, an in crease of 59 per cent.

Presidential Statement Says
Gomez and Almada Fled
at First Shot.
LEADERS ESCAPE
Expect Revolution to De-
generate Into Nothing
More Than Banditry.

MEXICO CITY, Oct. 10 R-Presi-
dent Gales, through his chief Of staff,
General Alvarez, announced tonight
that the revolution was crushed COM
pletely by an overwhelming federal
victory, in which the Gomez Armada
rebel forces were overwhelmed and the
two rebel leaders were in flight with
only about 100 followers.
This, with the capture and execu-
ton of General Serrano and his prin-
lcipal adherents, means the Gales gov
ernment, one week from the COM
mencement of the revolutionary at
tempt, has, in the opinion Of the Of
ficialS in Mexico City, stamped it out
completely
Presidential headquarters expressed
the opinion that Gomez and Almada
and those with them will be hunted
down within a short time, or else will
degenerate into mere bandits hiding
in the hills.
A presidential statement issued
through General Alvarez, tonight, an
nouncing the victory, says
I'm their first encounter with the
government forces the group of traitors
under Gomez and Almada were COM
pletely defeated. tn rebel leaders,
Gomez, Almada and Medina, fled
shamefully when they heard the first
shots, leaving their troops at the mercy
of the government forces.
About five hundred or six hundred
rebels, infantry and cavalry, surrend-
cred to the government Monday morn
ing at the village of Cosautlan. Cen
eral Gonzales EScobar, commanding
the federals who defeated the rebels,
telegraphed the presidential office
that he had fought a battle with rebels
commanded by Gomez and Almada,
commencing at 2 o'clock Sunday after
noon near the town Of Ayanhualulco,
which is in the Perote region. Esco-
bars report follows
1--WE fought them fully six hours un-
til we drove them away from the in
accessible hills where, in advance, they
had built small Notifications. We
fought them in front and on both
flanks. The enemy unsuccessfully at
tempted tooccupy positions behind us,
but we drove them off. Arnulfo Gomez
after two hours of fighting, fled shame
fully in the direction of the town of
Cosaultan, abandoning his comrades"
Armada, with the other rebel lead
ers, Medina and Aguilar, accompanied
by the dispersed groups of rebels, fled
likewise.

of casualties among our enemies, but

severely. General Alvarez estimated

USED ON Gomez
Attempt to Bottle Up Re-
volters in Mountains and
Prevent Escape

MEXICO CITY Oct. 10, R)-Air,
land and water forces of the Mexi-
can government are being concentrat-
ed in an effort to bottle up the
rebels under Generals Gomez and
Almada in the rugged mountain
country of the Perote region state
of Vera Cruz, where they are hid
den, to prevent them from reaching
the seacoast and escaping from Mex
leo.
The federal strategy seeks to drive
in on the rebels from every direct
ion by greatly superior forces and
destroy them by aerial bombardment.
The authorities at every Mexican
port and the officers in command
of all the ships of the Mexican navy
have been ordered to exercise the
utmost vigilance so that if Gomez
and Almada do succeed in reaching
the coast, their escape shall be cut
off.
In the meantime, heavy reinforce
nlents are joining the field forces to
complete the surrounding movement.
simultaneously the air forces are
scouting in an effort to destroy, or
bomb, the rebels into submission.
Lieutenant Carranza, who recently
made the first nonstop flight from
Mexico City to Juarez, is expected
to be one of the foremost aces in
the air campaign. Five planes flew
to the front from Mexico City to-
day to reinforce the airplanes al
ready operating, the strength of which
has not officially been revealed.
