Mrs. c. Whitney Carpenter, Jr., the
former Fannie Taller, who, when a de-

girls in the smart set, was one of the
first to wear tiara, following the de-
parture of Queen Marie.
Probably she would Indignantly deny
that the example of the Queen inspired
her to get hers out of storage and wear
it to the opera, but, anyway, wear it she
did. And she was the center of feminine
interest as she made her way to the box
of Mrs. Ogden Bacon.
Mrs. Carpenter is tall and slim as a
dryad. The tiara on her golden hair
made her quite as regal and fascinating
a figure as the Rumanian Queen herself.

than two thousand diamonds and two
hundred and seventy-seven pearls.
In the Book of the Pearl" by George

of the most famous crowns of ancient

'genmae alabandcnses,' and the band il
self is studded with thirty large Oriental
sapphlres of the greatest beauty.
Thirty fine pearls, of appropriate
size, alternate with the sapphires on a
ground encruSted with the red stones

small gold chains depend large letters in

One of the most beautiful of the mod

Nation Shows Economic Progress.
1.-THE Nation Is making economic
progress. Some areas lag behind 9TH
ers, and discomfort with the lag is an
assurance Of a lively sense Of initiative
and the best promise of remedy. Each
individual tests the question Of pros
perity by his own setting and natu-
rally applies his own test to his views
Of the economic state of the nation
If we use the more precise term eco
nomic progress we find we have per
capita as the result of the year 1926
more and better homes, more electric
lights and power, more transportation,
more roads, more substantial build
ings, more radios and more automo-
biles, more savings, more life insur-
ance, and more Of a lot Of things. We
also have more educational facilities
and more per capita circulation of
newspapers and magazines than ever
before.
Altogether. we enter the new year
with job in prospect for most every
body, with the whole Nation better
fed, better housed and better clothed
than any other nation. The large dis
appearance of poverty in the chronic
sense should make us more sensible
to the remedy of misfortune in the
individual sense, and the high recov-
cry of industry and commerce from
the losses of the war should make us
more sensible TO the needs of agricul-
ture."

Living expenses of farm families

DECREASE OF $17,49O, 900
IN ALASKAN minerals
Marked Reduction Due to Drop in
Values, Not Production,
Department Holds.

Mineral production in Alaska de
cilned to a value of SIT, 100000 from
the production of 1925, valued at SIS,
22O,692, the Interior Department has
announced. At the same time the
department said the value of the total
mineral production of Alaska is more
than $50, 900, 900.
Although the Geological Survey
estimates of a drop in the 1926 produc
ton are indicated by the figures re
vealed today, the decrease in value
by no means indicates a decrease in
mining activity or even an equivalent
decrease in quantity of certain of the
metals produced, the department said
Considerably more than half of the
drop in value is directly attributable
TO the lower price Of the product
which was condition now confined
to the mining industry in Alaska.
Even the current reduced annual
value OF the mineral production from
Alaska is practically two and q half
times the price originally paid for the
entire Territory" the department de-
clared.
Generally mining conditions through
Alaska were declared encouraging, not
only for continuation of production at
the present rate but for a gradual in.
crease, and there are many large
areas in the territory that have not
been adequately prospected, while
other promising properties are now
lying idle because of lack of capital
for necessary equipment. The short.
age OF enterprising prospectors was
held to be a serious drawback. while
the need for capital is pressing.
