COAST, GEODET|C SURVEY REPORT FOR
 FISCAL YEAR, 0UT
COVERS TREMEND- GUS FIELD DURING FEW
 MONTHS ALLOTTED

One of the outstanding accomplish ments of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey during the past year was the Photographic work done in Southeastern Alaska, according to the annual report of Colonel E. Les ter Jones, copy of which has reached The Gateway office. The report covers the fiscal year ending June 30, 1927. Another outstanding accomplish ment, the report states, was the sur vey work done along the Oregon and Washington coasts.
 Colonel Jones, in his report, says:
 Tn Southeastern Alaska, the sur vey ship Surveyor obtained over 20,000 soundings and fully surveyed all area of 1,255 square miles along the out. side coast, extending as far Norta as Lituya Bay. This was an original sur- vey of the area involving triangulaticn control, topography. and inshore hy- biography along the shore, as well as offshore hydrography. The party on the Surveyor completed a survey of the coast of Southeastern Alaska from the international boundary a. Dixon Entrance to Lituya Bay.
 This illustrates what can be done by modern survey ships and by the new methods which have been adopted in recent years. Not only is the work being done more economically than ever before, but the government is giving to all marine interests mu"h- needed charts and other nautical da- ta that are alone responsible for the reduction in loss of life and property at sea-"
 The report states that it is plannef to complete the compilation of seve Ii new charts of Alaskan waters during the present year, and to reconstru t two other Alaska charts, in contol mi ty with the latest survey data.
 Detailing the activities of the Sur vey in Alaska during the fiscal year, Colonel Jones says.
 Surveys begun during the previous year in Southeastern Alaska were com pleted in the following localities: Pt. Alexander, Pybus Bay, Kaigani Strait, Port Refugio In various sections of the main ship channels supplemental wire -drag examinations were finished Additional surveys were completed in Red Bluff Bay, Warm Spring Bay, Te- blink of Bay, Gedney Harbor, Port Lu- cy, Port Herbert, Deep Cove, Patter- son Bay, in Chatham Strait off Cape Ommaney, along Baronof Island from Point Herbert to Point Patterson, and along Kuiu Island from Point Harris to Point Ellis. A base line of second order accuracy was measured near Killisnoo."
 "'The survey previously inaugurated on the outer coast was extended from Cross Sound to Lituya Bay and off, shore for 50 miles to depths of 1000 fathoms, including the location of all fishing banks in that area. This work completes the original survey of the outer coast of Southeastern Alaska 7
 'Tn western Alaska the survey of Shuyak Strait, including Red Fox and Blue Fox Bays, was finished"
 "At the close of the year additional surveys were in progress in Baldy Bay, Tlevak Strait. Klawak Inlet, i~ yI@

curl the hair in front of the ears
also. If the back hair is short it may
be curIed in small ringlets. but if it
is long it may be waved and pinned
in a fiat bun to show the natural
shape OF the head behind. "A bandeau

the front: there are skirts short all
around with drapery at the front that
suggests a skinny little apron hang
ing at the front well below the nor
NAL hemline: there are skirts quite
long at the back, and short at the
front. and there are draped skirts
long at one side and short at the
other, Then there are frocks OF Eeof"
gette or chiffon made with short foun-
dations and four or five deep points.
Frocks OF fine transparent materials
are made with fairly long skirts worn
over quite short slips. In these YOU
have the gracefulness and coquetry
of the long skirt with the smartness
and chic Of the short skirt.
There never was a time when
fashions have shown such wide
variety. You can find two frocks in
the same wardrobe that look as II
they belonged to two remote fashion
epochs far removed from each other.
For sports and practical daytime wear
the fairly short, straightlfne frock
with straight, plain sleeves Is still the
usual choice. For afternoon an en-
tirely different silhouette may be
chosen. and for evening YOU may have
bouffant frocks with wide skirts and
closely nodded bodices or slinky
little draped frocks Of an entirely

be sadly disappointed. Sometimes he

he wouldn't talk at all.
It happened one morning that Rat

into the water, for that branch over

Rattles saw him coming. Il hope.
thought Rattles, that fellow Will
have sense enough to do his fishing
on the other side of the Smiling Pool.
There is no place for him here, can
tell him that. This is my side Of the

But Longlegs was evidently of an
other opinion, for just before he
reached the Big Hickory-tree he
dropped his long legs. and alighted on
the edge of the Smiling Pool. Then,
after stretching his great wings high
above his back, he settled into a COM
Portable position and began to stalk
along in a very dignified way until he
was almost under Rattles the King
fisher Then he stopped and settled
himself for a long patient watch.
Longlegs didn't see Rattles, but of
course Rattles saw Longlegs. Rat
ties was so angry that he almost
danced up and down on that branch.
But he held his tongue. Yes, sir, he
