are very smart but such polishes
should only be used on perfectly
manicured nails.
IL the nails are thin and trans
parent, a bleach may be used. This
bleach usually leaves a white sub

hands well and run an orange stick
under the nails after using the

These strings may be carried in your

Alaska's Legislative Needs.
Seattle Times.)

The annual report of Gov. George A. Parks of Alaska shows healthy economic conditions in the Territory. The combined value of the products of fisheries and of mines principal of Alaskas wealth. increased 25 per cent. over that of the last fiscal year. Such reliable barometers as bank deposits, income tax collections. exports and inn ports, indicate that Alaska is making substantial progress
 In his recommendations for Congressional action Gov. Parks urges further consolidation of govern mental activities. He wishes the various agencies engaged in the enforcement of criminal laws com bined and placed in the Department of Justice For the sake of economy and efficiency he sug- gests that the Signal Corps which operates the Alaska cable and a network of wireless stations take charge of the Navy stations along the Coast New Federal buildings badly needed at Fair banks and Ketchikan The building used peri odicay by the Federal Court at Anchorage has outlved it's usefulness
 Shipowners in Seattle agree heartily with Gov Parks that revenue cutter should be stationed throughout the year in the waters tributary to Prince William Sound and the Alaska Peninsula Each year more boats visit these waters and the additional cutter has become a necessity In event Alaska could not extend effective help The lack of accurate charts and aids to navigation in the waters adjacent to the Alaska Peninsula adds i'm measurably to the dangers.
 The recommendations made by Gov Parks should be accepted by Congress without prolonged dis cussion They represent the minimum needs of the Territory, and if left half finished Alaska will be unjusty handicapped.

Feeding Fires of Culture.

That the cheap jazz motif so apparently domin- ant in the music and drama of the present time is not killing or driving out the noble and ele vating appeals of classical music and legitimate stage presentment of intellectual masterpieces amply is evidenced by the virility of the Cincinnati Sym phony Orchestra and that of the country's metrop- oils and other cities, and by the continued devotion of theatre patrons to the excelences of accredited opera and the masterly magic of Shakespeares s genius.
 It is, therefore, in all sincerity that The En- quirer wishes unqualified for the Chicago Civic Shakespeare Societys proposed tour of the country. Such offerings cannot be too generously presented to cultural people, or to a people sus- ceptible to cultural influences. The proposal gen. erally will be welcomed and let it be hoped en- couraged.

WHY COOLIDGE CHANGED ON
 LEAGUE OF NATIONS.

Former President Coolidge changed ms oplnloh .bont the adysability of the United Statess enter ing the League of Nations, and in his very m'er- esting autobiography he sets forth convincing for the change. He said:
 The more I have seen of the conouct oi orr foreign relations the more am coh-
 vinced that we better off out ol the Ieap1,e Our Government is not organized in a way that would enable us aoequa'ey to deal with it. Nominally foreign af- fairs are in the hands of the Presioenu' Actually the Senate is always attempting to interfere too often in a partisan way and many times in opposition to the President O,r country is not racally homogeneous
 While the several nationalities represented here are loyal to the United States, yet when differences arise between the Euro pean countries, each group is naturally III sympathy with the nation of it's origin our actions in the League would constantly pc embarrassed by this situation at home. The votes of our delegates there would all the time disturb our domestic tranquility here. We have come to realize this situation very
 completely now but in 1920 it was not so
 clear.
 There is another good reason than those stated bv MT Coolidge for one to change his mind about this countrys remaining out of the League ana that is the demonstration during the administrations of Presidents Harding and Coolidge that we could do business in agreement and cooperation with the League without belonging to it. Both Presidents Harding and Coolidge frequently treated the League of Nations as an entity and we had decisions from the League of Nations and the United States where the cooperation and concord were perfect.

yARE WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER.

Gov Fisher of Pennsylvania is being very harsh ly criticized for appointing Joe Grundy to the United States Senate. It would have been pet ter perhaps, if he had appointed Bill Ware The latter at least has to his credit the fact that ne was elected to the office by the voters of the State of Pennsylvania. There is little or nothing that can be truthfully said against him that could not also be said against MT. Grundy, and there IS a lot against the latter that does not apply to the Philadelphia boss.
 Both orundy and Ware are machine men-both are members of political machine that's only com petitor for corrupt practices is the Thompson ma- chine in Chicago The Philadelphia machine may not participate in crime profits like that in Chi cago is charged of, but it is more effective in mani pulating adding machines which compute party majorities at the polls. But in addition to asso- citation with Boss Ware in this machine, Joe Grundy is a persuasive lobbyist among those who have benefited from the campaign funds he has raised
 And to add to the complexities Ware says he will be candidate for the Republican nomination for Senator in the April primary of that party and his Philadelphia friends say that he will win over Grundy.

PONIES Ry Mary Graham Bonner

Shall we stay around here for awhile?" the Little Black Clock suggested, and both Peggy and John agreed that it would be fun.
 Certainly it was a strange look f ing world in these days, long ago. The people looked so differently, the land was so wild and there was such lots and lots of space.
 You've just seen the first team of oxen draw the first cart" the Little Black Clock began. "Yes, certainly turned the time back a great distance!
 "This is the very beginning of 1 travel, but even before this cart was made the people could ride, and I've engaged a couple of ponies so you can have a ride while I wait | for you.
 My legs are so short that l wouldn't be so very good at riding. :"
 Right away two ponies were brought by a person who looked like a picture the children had seen of a very early earth dweller and that was just what he was.
 They got on the ponies, and oh, how the ponies went! The wind blew about their faces. The ponies took them over rough, rough fields, through half-made paths through the woods, and finally came back to where the Little Black Clock sat and waited for them.
 q don't know what I think" John told the Little Black Clock. T love riding a pony, adore a train, l think a plane is so exciting, and l did love seeing that oxencart." 1 Its a good thing l asked you to come on adventures with me-" the Little Black Clock grinned. "You want all the different kinds of travel-the old and the new. Well have some more travelling adven- lures, but now I have other plans. "

Late Fall of Snow Blocks High
ways for Several Hours

With the mercury standing at 36 or
81 degrees Tuesday morning at seven
o'clock, snow began falling and con-
tinued throughout the day and well
into the night, with the result that
roads in some places became blocked
until they were opened by road work
men with their motor plows. On Ro-
deheaver's hill, six miles north of
Oakland, a number of cars were tied
up for several hours, while on Key
ser's Ridge the snow blocked both the
Ridge road and the National Highway
during the afternoon and night of
Tuesday. Nearly all has melted and
the roads are now open to traffic.
A man and his wife, driving an
Ohio car, remained in a drift at the
Ridge from l o'clock a. m. Wednesday
until 4 o'clock that afternoon before
being able to continue to Winchester,
Va, where they were going to attend
