BY u. e. PEATTtE.

have always said that Winter was
the time to enjoy. observe and study
the conifers, which means, of course,
the pine. the balsam. the spruce. the
hemlock and the juniper, in this part
of the world. The big trees Of red
woods, the cypress, the deodar, the
cedar Of Lebanon, these are other
conifers. But 1t seems that even Of
conifers cne may know both too much
and too little.
Virginia woman. the other day,
was uttering complaints against the
monotony of the dark pyramidal shapes
of the ordinary juniper. oh" said a
lady from New Hampshire. they are
much nicer than ours. We have that
homely. old. sprawling kind that spreads
out in round mats" In Virginia
that homely. old. sprawling kind is
the sort that We buy for the most
pretentious and formal planting. and
pay fine price for.
I myself grew rather tired of the
monotony of juniper in New Mexico.
this Winter. so tired, indeed. that /
came to think that the best thing
doOut NeW McAlCdIt juniper was the
punches Of parasitic mistletoe that
perched upon 1t. Conversely. and per-
haps perversely. a return to the ele-
gantly formed jumpers Of Virginia has
given me a fresh delight in them, Q
delight long blunted.
The same ladies who decried their
native jumpers were rather astonished
to hear me call the juniper confer.
since confer means cone-bearing, and
who ever saw cones on juniper? All
the world knows that they bear berries,
beloved Of the birds.
This merely means that confer is
a semi-popular and badly defined word.
Actually. it is easy to trace the evolu-
ton of the cone from the pine. most
ancient of living cone bearers. to the
more modern berry-bearing jumpers.
In the cone the scales stand far apart.
in the hemlock the whole cone Is
smaller, the scales thinner and closer
together In the arbor-vitae. the cones
have almost fused into half bony.
half succulent. berry-like cone, while in
the juniper the last vestige Of cone is
gone. Such Is the triumphant course
Of the beloved jumpers evolution.

The separate fur scarf is frequently
chosen to go with the new wrap.
There is decided revival of interest
In conventionally tailored coats and
suits which may be worn with fur scarts
or one of the oblong or square scarfs.
Ensembles for Spring frequently show
coats Of three quarter or seven eighth
length. You may have frock of fig
ured material with a coat of plain
darker color lined with material to
match the figured frock. The seven
eighth coat reveals a narrow border
along the hem of the frock. The border
is Of material like the coast, so that
there is no marked contrast between
frock and coat when the coat is worn.
There is nothing smarter than black
Tor the Spring coat. either of wool or
silk Black has the advantage that il
may be worn so well with greenland
green and black are emphatically smart
for Spring. Black with red is also ex-
ceptionally good. II you choose a black
coat with an inconspicuous gray lining
you might use ii effectively with gray
and black combinations. with black and
green or with black and red

poise and dignity under all circum-
stances.
To be formal Is to do the thing &C.
cording to the best form. the socially
approved form. This eliminates social
blunders which are so terribly humili-
ating. No one wants to be regarded as
fellow of no breeding. as coming
from the sticks Criticism and ridicuie
are much harder to wear than a hard
boiled shirt.
We are formal because formal!ty

something TO feed upon. Children de-

where certain phrases are repeated over

variation. They all enjoy the story OF
the little half-chick that went along.

peals TO our sense of what is right and
proper There Is always best way
OF doing things, and that is the way
the thing has always been done. the
vay every well bred person docs It. We
feel more at home and a lot safer If
everybody acts up TO specification. II
Is like playing the game according TO
rules. We know what TO expect from
each other.
We set certain rules and restrictions
Of reSpectab:iity which guarantee fair
play. We dislike the man who "iolates
conventions because he is putting some
thing over On U.s. There Is no telling
what he may be up TO.
We are formal because OF the cs-

 ADDRESSES CHAMBER
 COMMERCE MEMBERS

Senator A. J. Dimond, prominent member of the Alaska Bar Association who arrived in Seward Saturday from his Valdez offices, attended yester- days business meeting and luncheon Iof the Seward Chamber of Commerce always a mos welcome fuest-and during the course of his interesting remarks took occasion to explain to the members the matter of zone pos tai rates, as this subject had just been touched upon by other members.
 Senator Dimond stated he saw no reason why zone rates should not be applied to Alaska although he under stood that territories of the United States did not have the privilege of zone rates.
 He explained he was a member of the Senate when Senator chamberlin had put thru a memorial asking for Post Office Department to grant Alaska zone rates but that was as far as it got after the Senate had passed it unanimously
 
 He also dwelled briefly on the need of Coast Guard vessel in these wat CTS during the winter months; also the future of Alaska and the impor- tant part airplanes would play. He was enthusiastic over the prospects of the virgin country for prospectors the alrplane would bring about and the possibility of future big strikes thru the use of planes.
 He spoke on other subjects as well and at the conclusion of his address he received generous applause.

 MR. MRS. |. LARSON

Regarding the recent death in Cal ifornia of Leo Richard Lonnergan, radioman first class, attached aboard the scout cruiser Omaha, observation detachment, a son-in-law of MT. and Mrs. Ludwig Larson of Seward, San Francisco paper reported the follow ing article:
 Lieut.. Fitzhugh Lee Rhea and Radio man Lonnergan were instantly killed when the UO plane in which they were spotting torpedoes crashed into the sea from an alt stude of 1000 feet. 35 miles west of Point Loma.
 Destroyers raced to the scene of the crash, but until late hour the bodies of the two aviators had not been recovered.
 The plane was darting after tor pedo when it was seen to go into a tail spin, crashing into sea about one mile from the nearest warship. Wheth- CT the men were hurled from from their cockpits after the plane hit the water or were drowned after they had landed in their parachutes could not be learned. The rescue vessels were hampered by heavy sas and strong wind. The plane was not sal vaged but sank in 800 fathoms.
 Lonnergan was 26 years old and had served in the navy sveral years. He is survived by widow and one child residing in San Francisco.
