CAPITAL TRACTION
HOLDS RECENT GAIN
Closes FractionaIIy Higher
Today in Lighter Trading
on Local Exchange.
BY EDWARD c. STONE.

Trading in Capital Traction stock
was lighter today, but the sharp adj
vance scored since the higher carefares
were permitted by the court was well
maintained. The stock opened today
at 67ls, advanced to STA and closed
at 673s, fractionally higher than yes
terdays close.
Today's sales in Capital Traction
totalled only 30 shares. So far this
week there has been total turnover
in this issue of about SIS shares. 1t
is interesting to note that most of
these sales have been in small lots,
in fact, all of them have been. The
higher fares are now in effect and most
stockholders appear TO be waiting for
the first report of earnings under the
new schedule.
The first of this week the street car
conductors did surprising business in
tokens. The conductors leave the Cap
ttal Traction barns in the morning with
800 tokens. They reported that these
were sold out in very short time and
they had to go back for more.
This jump in sales was in spite of
the fact that the company would sell
but six tokens to a passenger. The
June report is now due at the Office of
the Public Utilities Commission, but will
have nothing to do with the new ARE
schedule

STRIPED KNIT
FROCKS ARE
POPULAR
Times FaShioneSt Sees In
creased Interest in
Chanel'S Designs
By WILMA LA VILE

Have you noticed how many
people are wearing the new
knitted tweeds and jerseys
now? They seem to be no
longer just sports clothes, but
are worn for lunching down
town, for business or for school.
Their great popularity is due
to several trends, each one
enough to account for the favor
shown them. First Is the great
vogue for tWeeds. Most Of these
new knitted materials resemble
tweed in their pattern or in
their weave, but are lighter
weight, more pliable and very,
very soft.
Then there's the interest that
all designers and fashionableS
have shown in the texture Of
fabrics. Any material that is
different or amusing in texture
is just that much smarter. Pat
tern is added to pattern, either
by printing on a woven fabric,
or by adding a design to a pat
termed weave.
Chanel is responsible in part
for the great vogue for these
fabrics. She loves knitted
striped fabrics, and has put
them on the backs Of some Of
the smartest Europeans and
Americans. And indeed most
Of the details that make them
fashionable are Of Chanel In
spiration. CapeS are hers, seen
on several frocks that are
Chanel capies. The diagonal
use Of stripes in dresses as well
as in sweaters is another
Chanel inspiration.
These knitted frockS have
every good fashion feature to
make them popular. They have
boleros. capes, new type cardi-
gans, or lumber jackets, usually,
all we'll accepted this spring.
In addition they have lingerie
details, such as pique collar
and cuffs. Necklines follow
some new line, are square or
surplice to be different. They
may HAYES hort sleeves, but the
types that are being worn now
usually have long sleeves. They
may be one-piece, two-piece, or
in three pieces, all smart and
all enthusiastically accepted.
The sketches that we nave
made illustrate two of the best
types, the capped suite in tweed
effect, and the bolero frock in
diagonal striped knitted fabric,
just like the material that
Chanel uses. ~.-s--e..ss.p4~ga ~-. 8.

NEW QUARTERS

United States Planning Elab-.
crate Building Program for
Representatives Abroad

An old dream Of State De-
partment officials is rapidly
coming true as the United
States Government prepares
to replace obsolete and un-
dignified diplomatic build
ings abroad with new and
imposing structures.
Act Of 1926
Since the passage Of the for
eign service buildings act in
1926 the United States has been
acquiring more and more build
irgs of its own abroad. Before
that time members Of the for
eign service often were housed
In nakeshift, unsuitable dwell
ings. Now they have specially
constructed residences and Of
fices, built in keeping with the
country they represent and fur
11ished to provide all the COM
forts of the United States.
Two Of the newest and most
pretentious embassies are those
In Tokyo and Paris. The for
mer win be completed in 1881.
It will cost somewhat more
than 100000 and is built of
earthQuake-proof concrete and
steel. The embassy buildings in
Tokyo will include offices, resi-
dences for the ambassador and
two apartment houses to provide
residential quarters for the COM
mercial, military and naval at
tacheS and their families.
Paris Embassy
Construction Of the new
United States Embassy office
building In Paris, which also
viii cost more than $1,000, 900,
will start next January. It will
be located in the beautiful
Place de la Concorde. The Gov
eminent owns the ambassadors
residence in Paris, having &C
quired it furnished from the
late Ambassador Myron r. Her
rick.
Another pretentiouS project is
the proposed new building in
Shanghai to house all activities
Of the United States Govern
ment. It will be built on a
slope above the river.
In South America
In Buenos Aires the govern
ment has recently purchased
an imposing site on one of the
Argentine capitals ain
throughfares and shortly will
begin construction on the new
embassy building.
The building will contain
the ambassadors residential
quarters and offices for the
embassy staff.

Vast Sums Left Unclaimed

is admitted by the officials of the ex-
chequer. 1t is done so purposely to
avoid flood of spurious claims. The
present practice of the Bank of Eng
land is to wait until one claimant ap-
pears for a hitherto unclaimed stock,
and then advertise for all other claim
ants to the same stock.
One reason that people forget such
valuable property is that many stock
holders go abroad and are never heard
from again. Then there are aged or
ailing persons, who forget that they
possess stock, and there are the hun
dreds of persons, who when they die,
neglect to leave any mention of their
possessions.
A claim recently brought out the
fact that an English woman, who had
died at Marseilles at the age of nine
ty-eight, was entitled to $2S0,000 in
stocks, and 100000 in accumulated
dividends, yet she had been constant
ly borrowing from her relatives.
The finance act of 1921 gives to the
national exchequer all dividends I'M
claimed after five years, although the
stocks remain in the holders names
for another ten years.

1t is because this idea is so prevalent
that we hear so much today concern
ing vocational guidance-so very much
in fact that we might well believe that
every man and woman is designed for
some specific profession or occupa-
ton, and if by any unlucky chance he
should fall into something else he will
meet his professional waterloo.
I meet young fellows every day who
are so much concerned about what
they are best fitted for in the way of
a life work, so eager to find some
branch of learning or education or
some occupation that will be suitable
and pleasing to them-not to say easy
that they do nothing well or with
any particular interest. Fearful of
not doing the right thing, they neglect
what opportunity is before them.
Now the fact is, as l have watched
young people come and go for the last
forty years or more, the average nor
NAL person could do one sort of work
about as well as another if he would
only set himself to it. Lloyd was
brought up ON farm and would have
made very good farmer if he had
set himself to it. AS it was he studied
engineering when he went to college
and was elected to an honorary engi-
neering society in his senior year. He
Is not an engineer today but banker,
who goes about the country telling
people who know less than he does
how to run their banks. I haven't
the slightest doubt that if he had so
chosen he could have done just as well
in medicine or law as he is doing as
banker.
1t seems to me it doesn't so much
matter what occupation man chooses
as it does how he goes at what he
chooses.

and Ruth should be created for each
other. If by some misstep he had
failed to meet her, he is sure that he
would have gone through life alone,
disconsolate, or if otherwise mated, -un-
happily and unsuccessfully so. He does
not realize that possibly twenty years
from now he will have difficulty in re-
calling her name, and when it does
come back to him the memory will not
stir in him the slightest emotion. There
are whole counties full of girls who
would make Jim as happy as Ruth
does if. he could only meet them and
who would make him as happy as the
one he will finally marry will do.
There are thousands of young peo-
pie who feel about their jobs as Jim
does about his girl They have special
talents, they think; they are designed
by nature to do certain job and if
they should fail to get into that par
ticular position in life it would mean
complete and hopeless ruin for them.

Ashland, VISA group Of islands,
nestled like precious stones in a set
ting of natural charm on the edge of
one of the most beautiful natural har-
bors in the world, may become the
site of new national park.
The islands, termed the Apostle
group after band of II rollicking
brigands who called themselves the
apostles and who preyed upon lone
coureurs de bois on Chequamegon bay
Of Lake Superior in the early Seven
teenth century, are as wild, rugged
and beautiful as in the earliest days
of Wisconsin's civilization.

A bill introduced by Congressman
II. H. Peavey, Washburn, Wis, to es-
tablish a park, is pending before con-
gress now.
At La Pointe, the population center
of the sparsely settled islands, the
first known dwelling in Wisconsin for
white men was erected about 1868.
Two Frenchmen, Pierre Radisson and
Medard Chouart de Crosseilliers, built
the log habitation and, according to
the history of the region, ''were de-
lighted with the country and Radisson
described its beauties with an elo-
quent pen"
"The country was so pleasant, so
beautiful and fruitful that it grieved
me to see that the world could not dis
cover such enticing countries to live
in" wrote the French explorer.
The French remained in the region,

tianity and extending the boundaries
of the French empire in Wisconsin
and Minnesota. The islands remained
center of this work, the trading
post at La Pointe, occupying a
strategic position in the French fur
trade.
Later, when the British obtained
the territory, Madeline and the other
islands flourished as local centers of
the vast Northwest fur trade.
La Pointe at one time was the
county seat of Ashland county, losing
its identity shortly after the found
ing of Ashland. It still remains a
center of fishing, trapping and has a
population of several hundred sum-
mer residents.
Several of the islands are unin-
habited but possess rare natural
beauty in the form of sandstone
caves and rock formations, cut into
queer and fantastic shape by the
waters of Lake Superior.
