SCHOLARSHIPS.

The bill introduced last week by Senator Ben jamin of the First Division providing scholarships for high school graduates desiring to attend the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines should meet with the approval of the people of the Territory Scholarships limited ill amount but available for many especially adapted to the requirements of the large majority of college students
 The plan to give scholarships to the two highest in class standing in the several graduating classes in the high schools of the Territory will assist in bringing out the best efforts of the students in the high schools The reward which is dormitory rent at the College for a period of two years, is sub stantial help, and the years go by will assist many young and young men in their problems of financing for higher education. If one entitled to receive the reward does not desire to make use of it the one next in line in class standing falls heir to the remunerative feature.
 From the standpoint of education in the Terri tory these scholarships should have farreaching eff fects They will do much to insure a student body the College with representation from every high school in the Territory They will help to bring about uniform standards of scholarship to be evaluated in the College a forum They will furnish basis for wholesome competitive effort during the four years of high school work and ought to raise the standards required for graduation. Looking forward to probable returns for an invest ment Senator Benjamin's bill represents a strong appeal.

Time to Rebel When Friends 'Own' You-Winifred Blac
Smart Simplicity of the Evening Mode
Formal Gowns Depend More
on Material Than on Actual
Trimming for Effect.
BY Marie Marot

"HE day of gaudy trimming
seems to have been put into
The limbo of forgotten things.
Evening gowns were never so
gorgeous. nor so stunning in
their severe simplicity, as they
are today.
Exquisite materials fashion
most Of the gowns now seen,
and the princess line in modified
form has returned to an estab-
lished popularity.
Moire, particularly, has had a
re-birth for evening wear. Some
of the loveliest gowns seen this
season are fashioned Of this fa-
vorite of Victorian days. How
ever, the soft taffeta MORE is
so much more adaptable to the
modern figure that it is much
used, rather than the stiff, I'M
yielding MORE of our grand
mothers day.
The gown illustrated is of the
softest of yellow taffeta MORE.
The closely moulded bodice is
hidden by the soft hip drape Of
the skirt, which stands in a
double fold and draws the skirt
10 a hustle effect in the back.
The skirt is rather closely
moulded to the figure and is
open down the center of the
back from the knee. The open
ing, however, is hidden by a
huge bow and trailing ends of
the material.
This is not a gown for a short
plump woman, rather it takes a
graceful figure. But it is I'M
doubtedly one Of the loveliest
yet seen.
Bows, by the way, have a firm
hold on the hearts Of the de-
signers, and they are being
shown as the sole decoration on
most every type of gown or
blouse. Even furs and coats are
not exempt from the bow trim.
