along the side of mountain, has nec- essarily been slow and difficult, but when completed this section will be one of the most scenic, affording the motorist an excellent view of Mount Mckinley and the great Muldrow Gla.
 Perhaps the contrasts of Alaska delight almost as much as its scenery. Last year, with this great modern highway under construction, an ai- plane service was introduced as an experiment. It proved exceedingly popular and gave visitors an oppor- tunity to get closeup view of the mountains and their great glaciers that neve could be obtained in any other way.
 But while these modern means of travel care for the summer visitors, the park ranges in thei winte patrols to protect the park animals from poachers, travel on snowshoes and by dog team. Last year 40 new individ- ual summer pens for the dogs were constructed of wire netting, each dog being allowed space 10 by IS feet with his own sleeping kennel at the rear of his pen. It is necessary to keep these animals in separate quar- ters, as they became restless and quarrelsome during the summer when not used by the rangers.
 Sitka National Monument, another area under the Jurisdiction of the Ma tional Park Service, is at the present time the easiest of access, located as it is near Juneau and on the main steamship line. This little area, a beautiful natural park, contains some of the finest existing totem poles of the Alaska Indians.
 The Glacier Bay and Katmai Ma tional Monuments are exceedingly in- teresting areas, the first, as it's name implies, containing great tidewater glaciers, and the other 3 volcanic re- zion. Both are of great scientific in- terest, but neither is yet accessible to visitors.

DECLARES GENE TUNNEY
 TURNED DOWN FRIENDS.

NEW YORK.-Gene Tunney, hand some fighter, who stepped lightly from a Greenwich Village boy to the social register, felt the repercussion that semes from the breaking of old ties.
 Summing up the case for Tim Mara, fight promoter, who had brought suit for half million dol lars against Tunney, Martin Litton, lawyer, declared Gene Tunney walked 'to glory over the prostrate bodies of his friends"
 The lawyer accused Tunney of re- pudiating his agreement with Mara and of cutting down Billy Gibson's managerial salary after the fight with Jack Dempsey. A decision in the suit may be handed down today
 NEW YORK.-Gene Tunney, for mer heavyweight champion pugiist, came through in the final round of his fight with Tim Mara for $500, ,OOO.
 The jury which heard Mara's suit for half million dollars decided the promoter did not render services for the amount and after one hour and forty minutes of deliberation told Tunney he could keep his money and his status as millionaire. The trial lasted three weeks and it was a tedi- eus ordeal for Tunney, who squirmed under the lashings of Maras attor- ney. The lawyer charged the fighter with being "a welcher and . social climber"

NATIONAL PARK SERVICE TO PUSH PROJECTS FOR EN-
 PERMANENT OF VISITORS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-Alaska, that once lured the sourdough with promises of gold, now is turing the summer visitors with promises of magnificent scenery and opportuni- ties for keen nejoyment. Often, the :sourodugh was disappointed, but the scenery lover will find all promises fulfilled even beyond his expecta- tions.
 The National Park Service, the cus- todian of several of the most scenic areas in Alaska, is planning vigor- ,ously to push developments for the accommodation of visitors.
 Mount Mckinley, in the national park of that name, is one of the most spectacular mountains in the world. 1t is the highest mountain on the North American continent, and in fact rises higher above it's base than any mountain anywhere. The great peaks of the Andes. and the Hima- layas rise from bases already we'll up in attitudes. Mckinley, on the other hand, on it's north and west sides, rears it's 20,300 feet of height from a base only 2,500 to 5000 feet high. It is the real answer ii the question, "How high is up?"
 Roads are being pushed rapidly into the park area, under the eompe- tent supervision of the Alaska Road Commission, which cooperates fully National Park Service in this work. A great highway is planned from the park entrance, on the Alaska Rail- road. to Mount Eielson. formerly known as Copper Mountain. Already 43 miles of this highway, eventually to be 70 miles in length, have been completed.
 Work on the following five miles,

Today in
Washington History
By DONALD A. CRAIG.

| April rs, 1S65.-While the manner of
the death of J. wilkes Booth, assassin
of President Lincoln, was at first a
disappointment to the public" accord
ing to statements in the press today, it
has Gin some respects a peculiar fit
| ness"
It was pointed out by The Evening
Star this afternoon that instead of
making a brilliant escape Booth was
lhunted-crippled and starved-from
swamp to swamp in Southern Mary
land, and, at last, exhausted by ex-
posure and hunger, died an tgnominious
death three days ago. being shot as he
tried to escape from burning barn In
Virginia near the Rappahannock River.
1T is best that he should have passed
beyond human passion as he did," says
The Star. What excitement, perhaps
disturbances of the peace, have been
arrested can only be surmised, but that
he could have been quietly judged and
punished, with the hot spirits OF the
people thirsting for his blood, requires
an almost unattainable faith in human
forbearance."
David C. Herold-at first spelled Har-
rold in the official dispatches-accom-
plice of Booth, who was captured alive,
is about % years old, and for most of
his life has lived in the sixth ward IN
this city, where, after he left school at
Charlotte Hall, St. Marys County, Md,
he went to work in drug store. His
late father for many years held re-
sponsible position in the Washington
Navy Yard
Young Herold last Summer left the
drug store of DR.. F. S. Walsh, where he
had been employed for a considerable
time. and tried to get an appointment
as surgeons steward on the Potomac
Flotilla, but he failed in this attempt.
Since then he has been out of employ
ment, but is said to have been living in
'fashy'' style. He has always been
, known as Southern sympathiZer.
Tremendous public curiosity prevails
as to the disposition of the remains Of
| Booth, which have been brought to this
city. It seems that the authorities are
not inclined to give his remains the
honor of being viewed by the public.
The body will probably be deposited in
some place that promises the greatest
obscurity.
A photograph of Booths body was
taken here yesterday before it was re-
| moved from the monitor. 1t was then
placed in an ordinary gray Army
blanket and sewed up in it. A plain
wooden box in the shape of a caSket
had been prepared for it, but the au-
thorities decided not to use it.

color. When a distance equal to that
between hairlines has again been woven
introduce another strand of the con-
traSting hairline tone. Continue to
weave ground and hairline colorS to
form checks as described. Finish with
the ground color.
Cut the warp strands, remove tex
tile from loom and tie each consecutive
pair Of warp ends together firmly
against the last weft row. Ravel the
first three-fourthS inch of Indifferent
weave and tie loose ends of warp here
also.
These ends may form a coarse fringe
or tape can be Sewed along final row
or welt and be felled down fiat to the
mat. The surface of the weave that Is
uppermost during the weaving is gen.
orally considered to be the right side
Of the textile, although both sides
really are alike.
For checkerboard weave warp the
loom alternately with equal numbers
OF warp strands of the two contrasting
colors. Weave alternate colors of welt
threads for distances equal to these
spaces, changing color as soon as a
row Of squares of one color has been
made across the loom. The number
of weft threads of each color that is
used to form the first square or check
must be used throughout the weave.
For instance, If 1t takes eight welt
strands to equal the four warp-color
strands, continue to change color after
each eight strands have been woven.
Cotton rowing Is a good yarn to use,
or heavy carpet yarn, chenille, etc. An
ordinary aluminium comb, with coarse
teeth, can be used, or furrier's metal
comb.

The article on hand-loom weaving of
holders and hot-dish mats met with SO
ready a response from readers that !
am printing today further directions
requested. The first article gives rules
for making simple frame looms ade-
Quate to the weaving, directions for
plain, elementary weaving, and how to
Introduce bands Of contrasting color.
The article today is on checkerboard
and other plaid weaveS.
All weaves in which checks or plaids
appear in contrasting color must have
the color introduced in the warp at in
tervals. A hairline check consists Of
single strands Of color, so spaced in
warp and welt that they cross at dis
tanceS to form squares in the weave.
Thread the loom as follows: Four
or more threads of ground or main
color, one thread of contrasting color.
Repeat warping thus across the loom
or for the width desired for the textile.
be in the ground color. Be sure to
double the first and last warp strands.
This makes firm selvedge.
Begin the weaving as described in
the first article-that Is, by weaving
over and under each successive warp
strand. For the first three-fourths inch
any welt, not too coarse, can be used.
After three-fourthS inch has been
woven use the darker ground color for
q distance equal to that between the
contrasting hairlines in the warp. Do
not pull welt tight or 1t will draw in
and have what is called a waist"
Keep the weaving even with the lines
of the frame.
Now run IN one strand Of the same
color al the hAirline. Then continue

Unfiattering Light.

We have often been told by French
decorators that we should place our
dressing tables against windows, so that
the bright light Of day would shine on
our faces while we went through the
rites Of dressing.
The trouble is, we like air so much
that we begrudge the space in front
of window to the dressing table. OF
course, some of us hate to see our
selves in this bright glare of daylight
We prefer to see ourselves in the rather
subdued light that we get with our
dressing tables placed against a win
dowleSS wall
The objection to taking up the air
may be obviated if we have one of the
small dressing tables that fold into such
compace space that they may be tucked
away in any corner when we are not
using them. These little dressing tables
are truly a delight for the dweller In
small places. They are so pretty, too;
so frivolous and feminine looking that
any woman would like to own one. And
the great beauty of them is that you
can place them in front of the window
when you use them and then behind
door or in any other unused spot
when you are through with them.

Footmen and Horses.
BY REV. JOHN r. GUM.

1870 S~~&SSSs
"If thou hast run with the footmen,
and they have wearied thee, then how
canst thou contend with horsesP"-
Jer., kits.
1.-THE footmen'-the small trials and
difficulties that come in the ordinary
periods of life.
"Horses"-the larger difficulties and
greater trials that we meet in the day
Of extraordinary crisis.
The footmen have wearied you, have
they? Then how will you run with the
horses? If you have not been equal to
the easy competition with footmen, how
will you keep up with the gallop of
cavalry? If the small tasks and trials
of life have been more than your pa
thence and strength could manage, how
will you manage to keep on your feet
and keep going in the day when you
face some uncommon duty or trouble2
Be sure such day will come. 1t is
but living in fools paradise to soothe
ones self with the fancy that "tomor-
row will be as this day." Most of our
days may be quiet and easygoing. But
we may at any moment be confronted
with some extraordinarily difficult task.
At any moment we may be plunged into
some desolating disaster. We may 60
along for years with only slow-running
footmen to contend with, but when we
are least expecting it a battalion Of
horsemen may charge down on us with
a gallop. Surely this possibility should
sometimes occupy wise mans thoughts
The problem we face here is that of
our human insufficiency. In our own
strength we are not able to cope with
life's smaller duties and troubles with
out being wearied out of breath, to say
nothing Of its harder tasks and greater
calamities. The wise will seek Divine
help for both the run with the footmen
and the race with the horses.

Tweedale thought it perfectly reason
able that his father should be affected
BY the circumstances that his son had
had an experience similar to his own.
Indeed, a premonition Of coming sad
ness now settled down upon the whole
family.
The breakfast conversation had taken
place at $3.50 am. Before noon a tele-
gram arrived stating that the elder
Mrs. Tweedale was dead.
There was to be an even stranger
development. It was learned afterward
that an aunt Of Charles Tweedale, sister
OF his father. who lived same 20 miles
away, also had seen the old lady appear
on the night of her death. But whereas
death had taken place about a quarter
past midnight, a comparison of notes
showed that the apparition had ap-
peared to all three Of the relatives about
am.
Tweeda1e was interested in the old
fashioned gophered bonnet which he
had seen on the apparition. He wrote
about 1t to an uncle who was with Mrs
Tweedale at the time of her death. This
reply came back:
you ask me whether the sketch OF
the bonnet which you send me has any
analogy with the headdress of the de-
ceased. The resemblance is striking
1t is, indeed, the gophered bonnet which
your grandmother wore all the time she
was Ill, and your whole description OF
the phantom agrees with the aspect OF
the dying person at the time of her
death. That Is the plain truth, and ]
can, If necessary, give you my oath to
it,

bother, but the cost Of selling and buy
ing back again would probably Offset to
a great extent anything she might gain.
Furthermore, cash in hand Is always
a risk. When funds are safely and
soundly invested there Is no temptation
to disturb them. A dollar in bond is
worth two in the checkbook, so to speak.
Know what is happening In the COM
and follow trade and business condi-
lions. If a serious market condition
develops, be ready to meet it, and ad-
minister your investments wisely. But
do not feel that a traders worries are
yours; or that you must everlastingly
try to hold your investments at the low
est possible price. More money is lost
than gained in attempting just that.

Psychic Adventures of Noted Me1
and Women
Triple Appearance of the Tweedale Apparition
By J. r. GLASS.

The strange occurrence narrated by
Rev. Charles Tweedale, q well known
English divine and fellow Of the Royal
Astronomical Society of London, is
unique because it shows three persons
who were not in contact with each other
at the time sharing in a common
psychic experience. Additionally, If the
facts were as related, they indicate sur
viv1 after death, at least for q short
period.
Tweedale at the time Of the incident
was q young man, living In his fathers
house. Retiring late one night. he
slept soundly for a time and then
awakened.
His room was lighted by the moon,
which shone In through a southern
window. He could see quite distinctly.
Suddenly his eyes were drawn toward
the panels Of cupboard In the wall.
On them he saw a form appearing
Dim at first, 1t grew stronger and
stronger until he recognized the figure
and face Of his grandmother.
He was struck by the fact that the
aPpar1tlon wore an old-fashioned 60
phered bonnet.
He did not think that anything su-
pernatural was occurring. ct is Just
an illusion due to the moonlight" he
told himself, quite undisturbed.
The figure faded away, he turned
over, and went to sleep again.
AT the breakfast table the next morn
Ing he remembered his experience and
began relating it to his father and
mother. To his surprise, his father be-
came agitated and hastily left the table
why, what's the matter?" the young
man asked his mother.
She motioned to him to be silent
But when the door closed behind the
elder Tweedale she said:
Charles, am going to tell you the
strangest story I ever heard. This
morning, before you came down, your
father told me that he awoke in the
night and saw his mother standing by
his bedside. He saw her plainly. But

Investors write frequently about n

Usually 1t is to the effect that the mar
ket is expected to incline this way or
that. Should they. these women ask,
be guided accordingly?
Women who invest their money, and
truly invest it, are not concerned greatly
by f1uctuating stock prices. They may
own moderate portion Of common
stock, but even so they are not In a
position where they must sell.
Therefore, the ups and downs Of the
stock market need not concern them
overmuch. II the bulk of their funds

ferred stocks, or investments of that
type, market conditions are Of little
moment to them.
The trends in the stock market con-
Germ those chiefly who trade actively,
and whose profits or losses will depend
directly on what the market "does."
No woman investor should interpret
the news of a series of price "reces-

ever they may be called, as meaning
that she should sell her investments
and hold her money in allegiance for
