Mrs. Winkler and ! are great ly depressed at the news from Kotzebue, since we have known Father Delon for a long time and had also met Ralph Wien frequently at Holy Cross, where I have been stationed as game warden" sad Al. M. Winkler, now in Seward on his way to his new post at Kodiak.
 1t so happens that the plane Marquette arrved at Holy Gross from Fairbanks just an hour before our boat pulled out that started us on ur iourneyy hence Father Delon had been i'd charge of all Catholic missions of the Yukon for many years and was highly esteemed by all who knew him. His headquarters were at Holy Cross where I was almost in daily contact with him. He has done much good work for the natives and was loved by them as few white men have been.
 Father Walsh, we did not knew so well because he was newcomer and had only recent ly taken up his duties at Kot- zebue.
 i've have known the Wien brothers, Noel and Ralph, for a long time. Noel as everyone knows was one of the first bird men in Alaska, but his younger brother Ralph has only been flying couple of years under the tutelage of Noel I am at loss to account for the accident except that the new Diesel en- zine in the Marquette plane was not familiar to the pilots altho it had seemed to function in good shape in it's flight across the United States and down the Yukon fro mFairbanks."

"Of course it will probably nev- CT be known just what caused the crash of the big Marquette plane" said L. c. Chilherg, To- cal U. s. Collector of Customs, but in that connection, I now recall wildly a conversation had with Father Delon when he and his party went thru here on August 28
 Father Delon had come to my office to see about a bell that was needed for the Holy Cross mission. Tn speaking of the airplane he said that it had been donated by friendly inter ests of the Eastern United States and that altho the use of Diesel engines for aircraft was new departure the new engine was considered a wonderful thing and thoroughly reliable He said it was so constructed that each cylinder operated independently
 of the others so that the dan ger of complete failure of all of them at once was practically negligible. I remember also he stated that they had shipped a

More Than
LOUe Needed
tOAM Child
BY MARTHA LEE

Surely the bitterest disappoint-
ment human beings are asked to
suffer in life is the disappointment
a mother suffers when her children
let her down.
Financial reverses, business fail
Iues, failures in matrimonial VEN
lures can not compare with the
heartbreak a mother experiences
when she sees her child go abso-
1utely against everything she has
built up for years and years.
A child always is the mothers
masterpiece on earth. If she does
nothing but devote her life to teach
ing that child how to be good and
kind, tolerant of others and truthful,
she has given the world a great
work.
Mothers are ambitious for their
children. They want them to have
comfortable security and love. They
want them to be well educated.
They especially want these things
when they have not had the ad-
vantages Of such chances for hap
pinesS.
When a mother has to see her
child throw over all these years of
training, to do some SO diametricel-
ly opposed to that training that it
looks like sure ruin for her future
happiness. it is as horrible and
tragic in her sight as a slaughter.
A "Sad Mother" writes:
Dear Miss Lee-I am mother that has
raised her children carefully. Because
wanted to give them every advantage,
have done without great many things.
I have stayed in my home constantly, so
I know the sorrow I am going to tell you
is not because I was negligent or careless.
My youngest daughter, Just in high
school ran away and got married to a
boy, who also was still in school. She
had baby the first year she was mar
ried. First they would live with us, end
then with the boys parents. Finally she
insisted upon place of their own and

her husband got one. But as soon as the
expenses came in it was too much for

with her baby.
After We had taken care Of her and

started calling at the house to see the

Anyway. he decided that he would move

BY HENRY BENDEI.
MA Service Writer

NEW YORK, April 24.-Any raoi-
cal change in the fashion world Is
far-reaching. When, therefore, the
longer skirt was accepted, it neces-
STATED studious analysis Of proper
balance in other directions
To achieve correct proportions
capes and capelets were employed to
broaden the shoulders. To still
further insure symmetry of line, and
proportionate harmony, hat lines
underwent a swift and radical
change.
The frst note of former popularity
70 disappea. was the low cut over
the eyebrow which was at its best
a trying and dangerous treatment,
because the slightest departure from
the right angle of wearing was fatal
to smartness as well as correctness.
Brims Rounded High
The new brims are rounded high,
giving a generous expanse of fore
head. being often lifted with the
suggestion of a bandeau which al
fords them a swagger side tilt.
This vagabond droop is especially
effective in the felts which will be
worn late into the summer in all the
soft pastel shades, including the
lovely tone of beige-yellow sug-
gested by hemp, and orchid mauve.
While berets, toques and turbans
continue popular for town wear,
they have departed radically from
their former lines. The crowns are
low. fitting the head closely, and
width is achieved by enormous back
bows in the satin and taffeta tur-
bans: by the elephant-ear side treat
ment. or by a squared-of side flare
which suggests the Egyptian influ-'
ence.
Proper Width Accomplished
Whatever the treatment, you may
be sure that the proper width to
balance the longer skirt, the longer
hair. and the broader shoulder is
accomplished.
AS another concession to the new
silhouette. many of the French
stylistS are designing two hats for
single costume. using a single scarf
for both conceptions. The same
color scheme is used for both hats,
one following the turban variety and
the other allowing a wider brim in
one of the many and intricate brim
treatments Of the hour.
For the toques and beretS of the
late spring, there has been much
delightful experimentation in ma
terials, fabrics holding first place in
French preference.
Dull Satins Used
Effective uses are made of dull
satins, tatfetaS; a jersey straw that
looks ike fiat jet beads and is very
light; hand-woven hemp; ecru-col-
Ored string; chenille, and linen in
the lovely pastel shades of orchid
mauve. apricot and beige-yellow,
AS summer advances. fabrics will
give place to straWs and the beret
and turban be Supplanted by larger
hats, Many of these new straws
strongly resemble fabrics, having
that same f1exibility which is so
necessary to the manipulation of the
new and artful cuts.
Panama-lac and bakou-lac are
among the most popular new straWS
although a rejuvenated Milan runs
them a close second.
For the wider hat for summer, fol-
lowing the capelike form, erin and
Milan take first place although
Milan straw of this year is of
softer. finer texture than that shown
several years ago.

Durant Offers An
 Entirely New Line
Precisely the Kind of Cars that Sew eral Million People Have Learned
 to Expect this Company

A great many people have been looking forward to the introduction of this entirely new line of motor cars.
 They know that Durant Motors is now controlled by one of the ablest groups of automobile executives and engineers in the world.
 They know the kind of cars these men have been in the habit of build ing.
 They. know. too, the vast physical resources of the Durant plants.
 It was obvious that this eombina- ton of character and talent and tools would presently result in a line of motor cars of exceptional distinction and value.
 Their beauty may confidently be left to your own exacting taste.
 Their superior roominess and rest fulness are instantly and impressive ly apparent
 They bring a new response to the throttle, a new thrill to the wheel as you are cordially invited to demon- strate to yourself.
 Long life and low maintenance cost are built into their every fibre as everyone would expect who is familiar with the reputation of the builders.
 These new Durants. in other words, are not just another line of motor cars.
 They are precisely the kind of cars that several millions of people have learned to anticipate from Durant's executive management--a distinguish ed contribution to better motoring.
