 settlers will quickly erect homes along such 9 road and ev- cry valley would be opened to agriculture and every mineral region to prospecting. As an ex- ample of what always has fol- lowed and naturally will follow road building in the western wilderness, the government of the United States has in the past three years constructed a good graded highway from Juneau, 1he capital of Alaska, for 40 miles north of that town, and during the progress of the work, more than a hundred settlers have built homes along the line and new homes are being built as the road progresses and reaches Jew good locations. This road crosses two small valleys and the one nearest town has a dozen oairy farms and many gardens and farming patches and fields.
 '"The main line of this pro- posed airplane and automobile Highway will cut British Colun- bia, Yukon Territory and Alaska through the center, in the great valleys between the Coast Range and the main chain of the Rocky ,.lountains, and will extend from Vancouver, B. C., to Dawson and Fairbanks. Shielded from excess i've rain and snowfall along the coast by the great barrier of the Coast Range, it will pass through a comparatively dry re- zion, cold in winter and hot in summer.

 The Seattle Times gives the following interview with Judge Wickersham during his stay in that city.
 Advocacy by Premier $. T. Tol- mic Of British Columbia, on Q recent visit to Seattle, of the project for an automobile-air plane international highway be- tween Vancouver, B. C., and Fairbanks, Alaska, drew approval from the rugged hills of Alaska.
 Judge James Wickersham of Juneau, here on a brief visit, spoke enthusiastically of the benefits accruing to both nations through completion of the vii sualized project.
 AS Alaska's delegate to Con- gress for 12 years after serving the territory as federal judge for seven, Judge Wickersham is se- cretary of an organization with headquarters at Fairbanks which seeks financial aid from both the United States and Canadian governments to make the high way project reality.

4he further settlement Of these territories and the development C1 their great natural resources than would the construction of a much more expensive railroad along the same route. It would bring population into the cen- ,ral parts of those regions, give close personal contact and ere ate a feeling of friendship and common interest which no other project could do. It would es- tablisl towns along it's line, and give settlers and prospect CTS an opportunity to develop the agricultural and mining re- sources of the regions opened, better than any other possible plan.
 "The extension Of the 2utOnnc- pile highway idea to include combination with an airplone route ought to strengthen public support for both projects and insure official recognition and anDropriations from both the United States and Canadian gov e.rnments. Such 8 combined highway, the airplane route above the automobile road, both 70 follow a common course, with common supply bases, landing fields, roadhouses and hotels, will make travel by airplanes ard automobiles safe and more interesting to travellers, and double the benefits to the regions traversed by the great highway.

One of the reasons foods in sum-
mer time can Ue made TO 'oOk so ap-
petizing and attractive is that there
are then so many co.orful, edible ma
terials to garnish them with. Another
reason, perhaps, is that many cold
dishes are served: Cold slices of
meat, fish and other salads, aSpic jel-
lies, and hOrs d'Oeuvres of various
kinds. Garnishes that would soon
lose their crisp shapely appearance on
hot foods can be successfully used to
decorate cold ones. Only enough of
any garnish should be used to give
a touch of color.

was chosen. In fabrics having decided
checks or stripes, skirts cut on the
straight of the goods often look better
than those cut in one piece with the
upper part So in this case the waist
and skirt were cut separately and
sewed together. The joint is con.
cealed very neatly by a straight belt
at the hip level.
Needed fullness in the waist is
absorbed by inverted tucks at the
shoulder, darts under the arms, and
slight gathers at the belt line. The
skirt has few large plaits at the
center front to give room for walking,
and slight gathers across the back,
where the belt and waist are securely
attached.
The tailored effect of the collar and

Relics of Bronze Age
Dug Up in Holy Land

Numerous objects dating from the
Bronze age were eXcavated from be-
meath the floor of a limestone cave
north of Jerusalem by Prof. William
F. Bade, dean of the Pacific School
of Religion at Berkeley, Calf, who
is obtaining important data relative
to the character and customs of the
pre-Semitic inhabitants of Palestine
1900 or $500 years B. c.
The cave from which the pottery
and other articles were taken has been
buried since the days of the Hebrew
prophet Amos, who lived about $50
B. c. Pieces of pottery, jarhandle
stamps and seals bear the name of the
deity "Jah Jahu" and were probably
made by the Canaanites long before
the days of Abraham. Traces of a city
with great wall and projecting tow
ers have been unearthed near the site
of Tel Nasbeth, which Professor Bade
believes is the Mizpah of the prophet

chicken, served on a plate with corn
fritters, garnished with a bit Of cur
rant jelly, makes its appeal to the
eye as well as to the palate. The
broiled mushrooms or fried onions
served with steak are meant to tempt
the beholder through the nose as well
as the oye.
Lemon, parsley, cress, and cucum-
ber, are the garnishes commonly used
on fish. AS the lemon is for flavOring,
it is better to cut 1t in quarters or
siXths lengthwise than to slice it.
Then each person tan squeeze the
juice over his own portion. Cucum-
ber garnishes are sometimes given a
saw-toolhed edge with a fancy cut
ter.
Among the garnishes for cold
drinks, especially iced tea, are sprigs
of mint, or geranium, or slices of
lemon, orange, or lime, with or with
out a few whole cloves in each slice
A grape or other large green leaf is
often used as a garnish under grape
fruit, cantaloupe. orange, or fruit cup
when these fruits are served as ap-
petiZers for dinner.

Hat, Frock, Same Material

Among noteworthy examples of this
trend to repeat the fabric of the
frock in the hat, is that of cunning
sports-jacket suits made of gay print
ed and plain pique or linen, the
stitched washable hat repeating the
fabric combination. Not only are en-
sembles of this description important
among adult fashions, but in chill
dren's realm the self-bonnet idea pre-
walls.
Very smart for grOwn-ups is the
blouse and hat combination, which
styles the former of eggshell satin
with cleverly contrived hat of the
identical satin.
Then again for town and country
wear, tweed outfits include the suit or
ensemble and hat into which the
stylist introduces bit of the tweed,
carrying the thought even to the ex-
treme of creating shoes and handbag
of the same. Thus we have the en-
semble idea complete.
This self-material vogue should
prove an incentive to the woman who
sews at home to save the pieces, for
with scraps of matching material
handed to ones milliner wonders can
be performed in the way of creating
charming headgear which carries out
the ensemble idea.

Birds That Qualify as
Farmers Good Friends

Although both cuckoo and quail are
worth cultivating for their insect-eat
ing propensities, the grosbeak is the
most valuable of the lot where the
farmer is concerned and should be
given every chance to propagate
throughout the country, says Howard
I. Middleton in an article in the Farm
Journal.
This little member Of the finch fami-
ly, with its diversified mouth, is par
ticularly fond of potato bugs, it is
found, and, if unmolested, will build
it's nest at the edge of potato fields
and guard them throughout the grow
ing season.
at is conservative estimate that
one-tenth of the grosbeak's diet is
made ZIP of potato bugs" says Mr..
Middleton, "but he also preys with
relish upon cucumber beetles, canker-
worms, caterpillars, army worms, cut
worms and chinch bugs"
Examination of the cuckoo's stom-
ach reveals that he specializes in cater
pillars and other crawling creatures,
while the quail finds the potato bug
his favorite item of diet in season.

colors contrast with each other. A
sprig of parsley, cress, mint, few
celery tops, or small leaves of lettuce,
would also be a good garnish for cold
meat. Narrow rings Of green pepper,
strips of pimentO. rounds of tomato,
thin slices of cucumber or pickles, and
olives, are other suggestions fOrs in
PRODUCING color. Among the cooked
and edible garnishes often used by
restaurant chefs are slices of beet or
carrot cut in tiny fancy shapes, cubes
from bright gelatin mOldS such as
tomato, mint or jellied stockstock,
and hard-coOked eggs, cut in slices OF
symmetrical pieces. Sweet jelly, too,
when stiff enough to hold it's form,
makes garnish which tastes as good
as it looks.
Dainty slices of orange may be used
like lemon to garnish either cold or
hot meats. especially chicken or
duck. Rings of apple, or jellied red

Americans like vegetables-and

cialist in the United States Depart

"The annual gain of at least 1,50O,-
600 in population does not explain all
the increases in acreage and produc-
tion Of truck crops. Our appetite for
vegetables seems to be growing, both
because of encouragement from health
authorities and because it is now pos
sible to have wide variety of fresh
vegetables the year round"
A great volume of truck is hauled
to the city from near-byfarms, says
Mr.. Boree, who also emphasizes de-
velopments in carlot movements of
vegetables in the last dozen years. In

1918 the United States Department of
Agriculture collected reports of the
movement of about 145,000 cars of
seventeen leading truck crops. Last
year shipments Of the same products
filled 100000 cars, or more than double
the movement ten years ago. This does
not include shipments of the impor-
tant field-crop vegetables such as 20
tatOes and sweet potatoes. Neither
does it include much Of the green
products used by the large canning
factories.
'In other words" says Mr.. Boree,
'while the population increased about
10 per cent, carlot shipments of vege-
tables increased 140 per cent Lettuce,
green peas, spinach, string beans, cell

cially noticeable gains. Shipments of

Electric Treatment of
