Home i'm Good Taste
BY SARA HILAND.

Every plant lover welcomes some
thing new which will exhibit his plants;
and here we have an attractive little
stand. If the plants were not on 1t, we
might think that it was wrought iron
muffin stand.
But what could be more ideal for the
lovely flowers than this arrangement!
One of the best qualities of this little
stand is that it may be picked UP by
the handle and carried about without
removing the pots. This is, indeed, q
very good thing; for with little effort
the plants may be moved where they
will derive the most benefit from the
sunshine.
The finish of the stand may be led,
green or weathered iron; and the little
pots which are placed on the shelves
may be something you have bought in
the way of gay pottery or your own
good ideas developed into unique ef-
feet
Tn cans, evened off at the top, may
be lacquered and decorated with bright

Comfort should be an important note
in interior decoration. Artistry, unless
combined with this element or comfort,
becomes cold and forbidding. Added, 1t
means luxury and that sense OF invita-
ton that makes the family love to be in
such a home, and guests delight to
enter it.
fhThis comfort connot be diSSociated
with the personality Of the homemaker,
which in itself must be comfort, but
not that alone. We find that another
element is essential, and that is an ar
tistic spirit. There is little danger of
cold and forbidding, if artistic, decora-
ton If the homemaker who is reSpons-
ible for the success of the treatment OF
rooms, has a sense of beauty as well as
a warm heart. It will be apparent from
this that it takes more than mere
ability to pick out fine furniture, grace
full in line and form, and other furnish
ings so correSpondingly attractive, TO
give the atmosphere of comfort. so eS-
sentially a part of the true home.
Comfort, coupled with artistry, can
be found in the choice of furniture from
the viewpoint of the former as we'll as
the latter necessity. The sewing chair,
for instance shohld have arms that are
very short, so also should the chair in
which the mother sits usually When sne
tends her baby. 1t Is difllult to sew
or to tend baby in real armenian,
for the arms are very much in the way.
Mothers will appreciate the comfort of
the chair with short arms, and every
woman who sews realizes the advantages
of short arms on the sewing chair. It
may be added that the chair minus
arms lacks the comfort found in the
one with them, and the short arms
may add grace to comfort.
Chairs with very deep seats do not
lack in artistry when the arms stop
short of the edge of the seats The
luxurious chairs, with deep springs and
entirely overStuffed, that are sometimes
Alled English sleeping chairs" and on
which the Cogswell chair would appear
to be modelled, do not have full-length
arms. The depth of the chair would
make it difficult to get in and out If
d did.
There are styles of armchairs to
which the full-length arms belong
They would be inartistic otherwise, and
no comfort is sacrificed thereby: in
deed it is augmented So. in selecting a
chair, have a thought to its purpose,
its comfort and its style.
The height of table may add to or
detract from comfort when using 1t.
For instance, high tea table is not
nearly so graceful as low one, and it
Is much easier to serve tea and its ac-
companying toast, cakes. ETC.. from a

The Man For the Job.
(Alaska Weekly.)


 The Alaska Railroad has had several General Managers during it's short operating life, each one a good man in respects and each distinctly differnt type We didn't meet Colonei Otto F. Ohlson on his way North to take his post but we did have that pleasure this week as he passed through Seattle on his way to Washington and we want to give it as our yer diet that finally the Alaska Railroad has Gen eral Manager who will be just that and who IS Iexaetly the right sort of man from both the standpoint of experience and personality to handle the particular job he is tacking with such en- thusiasm More than mere railroad experience be it ever so thorough is required in the man. agement of the Alaska Railroad It is job for an enthusiast an empire builder regular he man-in short a pioneer. That type of man will bend his energies toward developing the railroad belt realizing that industry brings people and that population in the railroad district will wipe out railroad deficits in mighty short order Also such man will quickly find his place in the hearts of sourdoughs who speaks their own language and will thus receive the willing loyalty of Alaskans themselves
 Already Colonel Ohlson has formulated plans embracing the employment by the railroad of an experienced and competent mining engineer to be at the service of these attempting to develop the mineral resources of the district the building of several hotels for the accommodation of the thousands of tourists he expects to carry over the line, and the development of the great agri- cultural of the .Maanuska and Panama Valleys through colonization methods Naturally enough the details of his plans reserved first for the ears of his chief at Washington, but we think it safe prediction that official, no matter how "hard boiled" he may be, will be able to withstand that combination of practical hard-hea sense, contagious enthusiasm and dynamic personality which is Colonel Ohlson, and that the railroad belt may logically expect to enter of rapid and permanent progress.

BIG YEAR FOR KENNECOTT.

It is estimated that the Kenneeott Copper Corporation will earn SIP share this year indt- eating that the large price for it on the market is not excessive. This great earning is due to the wonderful record being established by Utah Copper that is producing copper at 6.1 cents per pound-including depreciation-one of the lowest cost records made. This reduction from the old figure of cents, plus, is attributed to the increased production that has been brought about in that property. Throughout the month of October it's daily output averaged 60,O00 tons. The Boston News Bureau predicts it will reach 80,000 tons a day during the current quarter. Utah Coppers 1928 production. it is now esti- mated will reach 26S,O00,00O pounds of refined copper.
 Kennecotts earnings last year were $6.23 It is dcing better than twice that There is no intimation concerning the earnings of Braden, which ranks next 10 Utah Copper among the Kenneeott properties, but the copper author ity the Boston News Bureau, suggests that it will probably reach 22O,O00,O00 pounds this year as against 203. 900 900 last year.
