BASS FINDS TEXAS M|SQUOTEDS SAME AS
 TERRITORY ALASKA
FUR FARMERS MAG ! ANNE SYMPATHIZES WITH
 uoNE STAR STATE"

Picturing Alaska not as land of only ice and snow and barren lands, but as a country of great natural resources and beauty, of warm sum- mers with bountiful crops of fruits and vegetables" A. A. Bass publisher of the Fur Farmer Magazine stated 1 that Alaska is the most misunder- stood and misquoted country of the world
 MT. Bass came to the United States on a visit to fur farms of the North and while in this country he had always heard described as the land of two guns and ten-gallon hats" "I find that Texas is as much mis- understood as Alaska" he aid. T find that conditions here are no more like what they have been pie tured to nae all my life than what some visitors and writers have pro- 1 trayed Alaska to be-"
 When a young boy, MT. Bass left the United States for Alaska before the gold rush of '9S He has seen every phase of life in Alaska. He lived among the Eskimos for weeks at a time and has helped entertain noted visitors from the United States and other countries, including Presi- dent Harding. He has known times when a dollar was as large as a blanket" and when food was practi- cally unobtainable, and he has ac- cumulated many friends.
 As miner, furrier, publisher and a man of many other interests, he is qualified to speak on the possibilities of Alaska.
 Alaska is five times as large as Norway, Sweden and Denmark. In 1910 the population of Alaska was 55,036. The natural resources of the country alone could feed, cloth and house 20,OOO,OOO persons easily, he said. The United States paid about $7,000,000 for Alaska and the country already has fully that amount of money in domestic furs alone. More than 300 islands now occupied by fur farms, raising blue and silver foxes. Modern methods of mining are doing much to help in the devel- opment of hte country. Millions of acres of pulp timber suitable for making high grade papers is availa- ble.
 He quoted the late President Hard ing as saying that the fur and fish industry would be to Alaska what cotton and corn are to the South.
 Various civic organizations, cham bers of commerce and interested in- dividuals have organized the Terri torial Chamber of Commerce, he said, a new magazine is being published, the Alaskan, having as it's purpose the exploitation of the beauties and resources of the country.
 We are trying to divert some of the American tourists from Europe to Alaska said MT. Bass. "And when they come to our country we want them to go away and tell the truth, and not fictitious stories as many writers have done"
 MT. Bass criticized severely the writers who, after visiting the coun try, relied chiefly on their imagina- tion and on stories they had heard about Alaska, rather than on what they saw.

STRIKING COL0RS USED.
Somber Hues of Former Years Dis
carded for Houses.

When the storm clouds gathered in
the skies, not many years ago, our city
streets assumed an almost funereal
air. Umbrellas and raincoats of SOM
Der black added to the gloom OF the
day.
But not so of late. Slickers and
parasols of the most striking colors
are to be seen frightening the avenues.
IL you have noticed the trend of color
in automobile styles within the last
few years, you will have seen very
marked change from the formal tones
that were so popular.
Then, again, if you drive through
the suburbs these fine Spring Sundays,
you will see about you homes in col
orful stuccos with bright red and
green roofings and brilliantly striped
awnings. No matter where you look,
it is clearly obvious that we are under
going a radical change in our appreci-
alton of color, we are becoming color
conscious. With the advent of this
new era it is only natural that it's far
reaching influence should enter into
the home and it's decoration.
1t has made it's first appearance in
the vivid fabrics which are being used
for draperies and upholsteries. The
demand is becoming more forceful
eveery day for materials of bright tone
for home decoration.

A survey Of real estate courses now
being offered in universities and col
leges is now being made by the Ma
tional Association of Real Estate
Boards, which also is conducting a
survey of the type and extent of voca-
tional courses in real estate being of
fered directly by its constituent boards
in 633 cities.
Rent levels and their costs have
been made a special study by the Uni
versity of Pittsburgh School of Busi-
ness Administration. A summary of
the findings of an investigation under
the direction of Joseph NJ. Gilman,
chairman of the department of statis-
tics and business research, has just
! been published by the university.
Over period of six years the rent
curve has run in almost perfect har-
mony with the sales curve in real
estate, the study showed. Rent rises
precede rises in real estate price, but
price rises are in turn followd by rent
increases, the study indicates.

According to f. NJ. Fisher, associate
professor of realty management, Uni
versity of Michigan, they will make
possible a detailed study of certain
aspects of real estate which should
help to enlarge the fact foundation
for real estate practice.
The fellowships were established by
the Grand Rapids Real Estate Board,
the Detroit Real Estate Board, the
brokers' division of the Detroit Real
Estate Board, the Michigan Real Es-
tate Association and by individual
realtors. Each fellowship is for $500
per annum. All are to be available
during the year 1929.
Indiana University is the most re-
cent State university to establish a
course in real estate. The opening of
such a course is announced for this
coming Fan session by w. A. Rawles,
dean of the School of Commerce.
There will be a regular day course and

the Autumn months for every year
since 1919 Is attributed by the study
to the practice of dating annual real
estate leases very generally from
May /.
The study, which is based on a COM
putation of nearly 10000 rent figures
as found in the advertising columns
of local newspapers. shows that dur
ing the period studied, beginning with
the year 1913, a period of advancing
rents following the war shortage, rent
increases started earlier in the poorer
than in the richer sections of the city.
and rose relatively higher in the
former than in the latter, and main.

FEARS CHESS DEADLOCK.
German Player of Note Urges
Change in Rules.

GOTHENBURG, Sweden, April 80
R).-Dr. Emanuel Lasker of Ger
many, former champion chess player
of the world, says the. game has
reached a deadlock. 1t has been de-
veloped to such perfection that it
does not seem possible to go any
further under the present rules, he
believes.
With examples from the recent
tournament played in New York
where most parties ended in draws
Dr. Lasker demonstrated here how
hopeless it is to force a victory since
, all possible lines have been worked
out. An outcome from this difficulty
he saw in a system Of counting
points. While this would not be a re-
lief for all future it would last for a
century, he says.

low flowers with wee green stems,
and in between the daisies were oc-
casional lines of the green embroid-
cry silk to simulate blades of grass.
The sleeves were short and finished
in the same way, while a frill of wide
footing formed finish for the round
neck. All along the bottom of the
frill about three-f ourths inch from
the edge was a row Of the same daisies
with stems somewhat longer. 1t was
the sweetest little frock imaginable.
Color Notes.
Another dotted muslin of light rose
color had row Of inch squares of
plain blue muslin at intervals down
the front for several inches. These
formed tiny baskets, for curved han
dies were embroidered at the top and
diminutive flowers in various colors
strewed the basket and peeped out
over the top. Another frock of green
had white cores let in up to what
would be low waistline. Down the
front was a white panel of the same
soft white goods. Shocking was used
lavishly on frocks. This always seems
an appropriate trimming for such
little dresses. When the frocks were
for children a little older, the materi.
ais kept just as dainty, but the styles
sometimes were similar to dresses for
grown-ups. It seems a pity to have
dresses so patterned after adult cos
tunes, since there are so many charm
ing models for tiny tots.

1t is amazing the amount of thought
that is being given to frocks for little
FOLK. In the days of our grandmothers
there were simple frocks for playtime
and best dresses for afternoons, for
company times and for Sundays. Then
there came in a radically practical
period when children were clothed in
sensible clothes" The extreme of
this has brought a complete revolution
in children's dresses. 1t certainly was
true that the dresses used to be so
very sensible that in many instances
they were far from appealing. They
became just clothes, nothing more.
But 1t does seem that this should
not be quite the case, and it no longer
is, for little children are so dainty and
full of grace that clothes should in a
measure lit in with these ideas. And
so today we get modified play clothes
that are charming, and better frocks
that are Dreams
The mother who has a fortune can

on clothing for her children.
Clothes to Enjoy, Not vex.
The little folk must be expected to
use them up rapidly if they are to
have any fun when they wear them.
And the mother who has not a for

ly puts in the fine work because the
frocks do become the wee tots so
perfectly. Mothers are wise to have
the majority of clothes the play va
riety and to dress the children in the
exquisite ones on occasions. She must
not keep telling the little ones not
to do this or that while they have
on the ''pretties," for either it makes
them hate to wear the lovely things
or else act restrained and unnatural
when they are on.

Years ago Horace Fletcher, an
American living in Venice, was trying

ing of food as an aid to digestion
and nutrition was impressed upon
him.
Mr.. Fletcher continued his expert
ments and observations of thorough
mastication. One of the first things
he noted was that when each morsel
of food was thoroughly chewed the
amount necessary to satisfy hunger
and sustain energy was much less
than when food was bolted. Mr.
Fletcher also established that the
sense of taste. properly trained, was
a guide to the quantity and quality
of food required. But only when
