r HAVE q letter and q maga-
zine article on my desk. I'm
going to add them together, pass
them on to you and let you find
the answer, Both are too long to
print in full, but here's the gist
OF them.
The letter. is from Alice r.
It's a typical picture of the Amer.
ican family situation. Alice is "a
and has been married IL years.
She has three children, aged
nine, seven and four.
Before Alice was married she
was the average bright. capable
business girl. She had good
record in high school, had had
two years of college, held q fine
secretarial position which put her
in constant contact with interest
ing people. She was lively. am
bilious, in love with the world.
Then she married and started
having children.
She was glad to be married
glad to have children. In no
sense of the word was she a
restless modern wife yearning
for a career She wanted a
home and a family. BUT SHE
ALSO WANTED TO BE AN
INDIVIDUAL. And she speedily
found that individuality ceased
when motherhood began.
Like most American couples,
Alice and her husband were un-
able to afford a nurse for the
babies.
Indeed, even If we had had
more money / am sure both my
husband and relatives would
have been amazed IL I had
handed my children over to the
care of "a nurse" she writes.
Mothers aren't supposed to do
that in this country"
So for nine years Alice has
devoted all her time, energy and
thought to baby chores" Her
home is well kept, her children
and husband adore her--theo-
reticalIy she should be q proud
and happy woman. But she isn't!
Instead, she feels that there has
been irreparable waste during
those years and that her hus.
band. children and she herself
are losers thereby.
"I am completely out Of touch
with any life save that of my
home," she writes. II have had
no time to read or study or
keep in touch with my former
professional associates, and am
usually too tired to even think.
I have become a dull, drudging
animal while my husband is stiil
q brilliant, alert human being. II

It flashed upon Calico that
these various groupings Of the
three stars could not be explained
by Jupiter's own motion. These
companions must be smaller stars
circulating about Jupiter! If his
brilliant surmise was correct,
Jupiter was like the sun of
Copernicus, the center OF a n1inia.

Observation alone could deter
mine the truth Of Galileo's acute
surmise. His manuscript notes,
still preserved. show that for
66 nights Galileo industriously
studied Jupiter through his tele-
scope. On the seventh night he

up his findings in the following
words:
''It is now not simply, case of
one body (the moon), revolving
around another body (the earth).
while the two together make a
revolution around the sun. as the
Copernican doctrine teaches; but
we have the case of four bodies
or moons revolving around the
planet Jupiter, as the moon does
around the earth, while they all
with Jupiter perform grand rev.
olution around the sun in dozen
years"
This discovery, followed by Cali
leo's additional discovery of the
changing phases OF Venus. went
far towards bringing about the
acceptance OF the theory of
Copernicus. The contribution OF
Galileo, as Hale puts it, was
literally a revolution in human
thought.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DIR. Louis E. Bisch--

NHO hear people rail at the
Il dress Of modern women would
lead one to believe that the world
Is facing q new problem.
As a matter OF fact, however,
women's attire has created excit-
ed comment at various times for
ages.
In Isaiah. the 18th verse Of the
third chapter. we read: Because
the daughters of Zion are naughty
and walk with stretched necks
and mincing as they go, and
making a tinkling with their feet,
the Lord will take away the brav.
cry of their tinkling ornaments
about their feet
So also in the Middle Ages
elegance of dress, extravagance
in toilet accessories and coquetry
drew again the fire of denuncia-
tion from the church.
And yet women have since
then gone on their merry way
apparently unmindful Of the
storm OF abuse which their be-
havior in dress called forth.
There must, therefore, be some
thing very fundamental behind
such defiance. although it Is prob.
able that women themselves do
not realize it.
What women are responding to
In this passion for dress is
something instructive, and we sell
dom react consciously and delib.
erately to our instincts.
The instinct deep down and
activating womer's dress is the
instinct for race perpetuation!
Nature was decreed that the
race must be preserved at all
costs, and it is woman who has
been endowed with the peculiar
biological function Of carrying
1t out.
women, therefore. must be at
tractive
II they were not attractive men
would be repulsed and the future
Of the race would be In jeopardy.
I dare say even ancient eccle-
siastics recognized these facts, but
what they took exception to was
the needless extravaganza AMI sex
allurements that went with what
they considered improper adorn-
ment.
Undoubtedly the same crit.
cisms could be leveled at the
clothes, or lack OF them, that we
see sAmuch Of nowadays.
A woman can dress charm
ingly and becomingly-ev al.
Turing exposing herself
to the point OF indecency.
And what's more important
still, mystery Is one of the most
powerful forces of attraction be-
tween the sexes and with undue
exposure such mystery vanishes
completely.
1t is fact that women's morals
may be distinctly affected by
changing styles. Women who
were retiring, modest and imbued
with sentiment. have been made
callous and hard when the styles
demanded boldness and exposure.
Contrariwise, it is said that the
women of Louis XVPs court who
spent their days trying to outdo
each other in Irritation and all
sorts Of silly frivolities, changed
about completely when they were
exiled by the French revolution
and were compelled to wear less
ncentious clothing.
woman's dress II no more q
sociological problem than 1t Is a
problem for the woman herself.
Styles can be adhered to with
out going to extremes. Beauty
and variety can be retained with
out having them threaten plain,

These are sad times for the
sweet. old-fashioned girl who longs
to be Just some mans pet and
parlor ornament-or even his
light-running domestic. Because
a. modern mans life Is lived
mostly in the office and the car;
and there's not much joy or ex-
citement isl making a home for
a man who is only in when he's
asleep.
h. Once upon q time a husband
was regarded as personal and
private property; and just that
married look" on a mans face
was as good as q Hands Off"
sign. But now, he Is as easy to
lose as a good umbrella; and
other women have no more con-
science about snatching him than
they have about pilfering the
hotel towels.
II is difficult to decide whether
a mans wife or his private secre-
tary gets more OF his companion.
ship-but the odds are in favor
of the woman in the office.
The wife may have his name,
the legal right to his support, and
all the honors and perquisites of
matrimony and even the first
place in his affections.
But the girl who shares his
days. his burdens, his problems,
his Joys, disappointments, tri.
umphs and secrets has nrUre OF
the MAN himself. 1t is she who
really shares his life, while the
wife gets only the remains and
the crumbs. when he comes home
all tagged out after an exciting
day.
That is why SO many business
girls look dubiously on marriage
--and why so many married Wo-
men go back into business after
a few years. They want to, be
mans partner in the game OF
life-not just his relaxation and
rest cure.
The "office Siren" is blamed
for a great many things of which
she is not guilty. 1t is the
SITUATION, not the SIREN,
that is responsible for the Office
Romance. The o. 8. is not often
a siren; she is far oftener the
office packhorse, who lifts all the
burdens and dreary details from
the shoulders Of the men.
The o. s. is the answer to q
mans SOS when he needs
yokemate and partner, and does
not find that partner in his
wife.
It Is only the man whose life
work is done, whose fortune is
made, who is looking for 4 toy,
playmate or q drawing-room
decoration. The young man in
the thick OF life wants q partner
by his side. And If his wife
hasn't the brains or the stamina
or the wisdom to take this job,
he Is very likely to find some
body else who win. Hence. the
Office Romance.
The fashioned wife may
have held onto her husband by
holding him DOWN, but the
modern wife can hold him only
by bracing him UP. BY being
his confjdante, his inspiration, his
co-worker or his ballast--and thus

 PRESS OF ALASKA

The Jenkins Brothers, of Tal- keetna, recently received from the outside a new motor tobog- gan, which they are putting in service, supplanting the dogs, which have been used by them for hauling freight, passengers and mail. The to- began has a 20-horsepower, four-cylinder motor. The sled is 12 feet long and 28 inches wide. It is driven by an endless tread, 12 inches wide by six feet in length. The sled can be driven as slow as a man would walk and up as high as 50 miles an hour, It will carry five passengers, has an upholstered seat over the tread, and can be steered like an automobile by two false runners under the tobaggan.

On a warrant cabled from An chorage, Earl Karlson and Anna Anderson were recently arrested at Juneau on a charge of violating the white slave law. The warrant was sworn to at Anchorage by the hus- band of the woman who, it seems, was peeved over being left with the couples six chil- dren to care for.

RIVER PROTECTION
Continued from Page 1

garding methods were offered by Wm. Gray, head of the Hy- der Lumber Co.,, who said the company had already spent about $7,OOO in protecting it's plant from the recurrent floods and that citizens of the camp had expended over $4,000 ad- ditional, and by s. P. Fitzger- aid, president ofthe Titan Gold Mining Co.,, who asserted that American shipping statistics failed to disclose the import ance of Hyder as a shipping point, owing to the vast bulk of mine machinery and SUD- plies being shipped by the Can- adian lines to Stewart. Thou sands of dollars worth of mine machinery made in the U. s. came into the Salmon River district in this manner and is forwarded to the Canadian mines through Hyder without showing in local commerce records. B. B. Smith and sev- eral others also spoke on simi- lar topics and O. F. Hill, Mrs. J. L. Campbell and various others described some of the near disastrous flood condit- ions developing in earlier days. E. D. Haddon, Judge Fox, Hol- ger Johnson and other citizens also submitted data regarding the resources of the district, local commerce, mining traf- fife, ore output, and other mat ters of similar character.
 Major Gillette, after outlin- ing several methods for pro- viding both temporary and per- manent flood protection, sug- gested that that-a jetty or wing dam structure extending west ward from the rock point on which the T. H. Evans resi- dence stands would provide the cheapest and most effect i've temporary protection for the townsite. This was object ed to by many speakers on the ground that it might result in the permanent inundation of considerable settled land north of the dam and within the townsite area. The point was immediately conceded by Mai or Gillette, who explained that we was not aware that so much of the area was occupied. Col. E. R. Stivers, Wm. McGrew, F. R. Reichenback. and several others offered remarks on var ious phases of the control situ- ation before the meeting con- cluded, with everyone feeling
  that substantial progress had benn made toward enlisting federal assistance in safe guarding the town.
 After collecting considerable additional data from various local records, Major Gillette left for Juneau this afternoon and may possibly send in his report before the close of the present congressional session.

The body of Charles Daniel son, oldtimer of the interior, was found in his cabin on No. 4 Wolf Creek recently. As near as can be determined, he had been dead for some time when found. MT.

Little Felt Hats
Are Still Popular
'KET AND BELT

The little, lightweight colored felt
hats that have been popular for so long
continue to be popular. Apparently
nothing that the milliners have to offer
will finally 'usurp the position Of the
small, lightweight felt hat. Some
women choose type Of small felt hat
that best suits their features par
ticular sort OF slash or drapery or ar
rangement of pleats In the felt-and
have a number Of shapes of precisely
the same sort done in various colors
and shades to go with frockS and en-
Sembles of various colors.
For Summer there will be many
simple little straw hats trimmed with
folded or crushed bands of figured silk.
Sometimes these will match the figure
of the frock with which they are worn:
sometimes they will be worn with plain
frockS.
Many Of the newer felt hats show ear
tabs applied; that Is to say, cut out
separately from matching felt and then
Sewed on, perhaps under felt or rib
bon band around the crown.
These ear tabs reach almost to the
shoulder, sometimes. They are petal
shaped and fiat, or fan shaped and
softly pleated.
There are some interesting turbans
but they are softly draped about the
face. A distinguishing mark of the
seasons hats is that they give fatter-
ing shadow to the features. Marrow
and interesting brims throw half
lights ever the eyes and cheeks that
are altogether alluring. And turbans
and berets. though brimless, are 50
draped that there is no suggestion OF
harshness in their lines about the face.

Old Quilts Are
Better Than New

If you have in your possession any
old quilts now Is the time to get them
out and make the most of them Often
they are used as bedspreads and some
times they are folded and laid on the
foot of the bed-only If they are old
and fragile, woe betide the thoughtless
guest who ventures to use one as an
actual coverlet.
II you have no old quilts or not so
many as you would like to possess why
not join the ranks of up-to-date quilt
makers. 1t is most entertaining work
and decidedly worth while since nova
days nicely made quilts are high priced
even if they are of recent vintage,
The stores now are showing all sorts
of charming cotton prints of old-time
design that will make your patches
look as quaint as you like. If you are
fortunate enough to possess any hand
woven sheets and want to put them in
some form where they viii be seen to
advantage cut them up and use them
for piecing-using printed linen with
them II the sheets are linen. Or use
the linen uncut for the back of the
quilt.

This is O story of a small family that
lived in small house and then moved
into a large house and found that there
was less work 10 do.
In the small house there was mas
ter bedroom, a fair sized room for the
Young son and heir. and small spare
bedroom on the second floor. On the
FIRST floor was q living room, a dining
room (which had to do double service
as library as well as dining room) and
a kitchen. An inclosed rear porch
served as refrigerator room.
The library-dining room was IL by
Is feet. That's bit small to have q
gate-leg table, two benches. two chairs,
Q desk, two sectional bookcases. one 81
foot bookcase and few Of the heirs
playthings.
The family moved into q house with
seven large rooms and q pantry. They
now had q large room in place of the
dining room -library-one beautifully
adapted to such a purpose. And they
put the desk and reference books In one
Of the smaller rooms upstairs, which
they called a den. The kitchen was
big but convenient. And there was
cupboard space enough so that every
thing could have place that was easily
accessible.
There were front stairs and back
stairs and the bedrooms were large and
roony.
