 He had just come into the batn house with his bride of a week, Mrs. Grace Rede King, when Rede entered the place and asked King to step out. The two men walked across the street and around the corner of Cush- man on Fourth, where the shooting took place.

 Inc small herd of yaks recently landed at the Fairbanks experimental station from Wainwright national park in Alberta, Canada, came thru the cold winter weather with flying colors, according to F. l.. Higgins, who is in charge of the station. The yaks were left in the open at all times, having only an open shed for shelter at night, and the cold did not appear to bother them in the least
 ''They arrived here in very good condition, considering the long trip," Mir. higgins tells the Fairbanks News Miner. The herd consists of three cows and one bull. It is intend ed to use the new stock tq breed the pure yak strain and to continue the cross-breedng experments with Gallo way cattle. Previou experiments have shown the hybrid to be good, vigorous animal, very well adapted to the northern climate. The aim is to build up good beef animal.
 Before the arrival of the herd from Wainwright park the experimental station had oinly one yak.
 1t was in 1919 that the first cross breeding experiments with yak and Galloway cattle were begun. At that time pair of yak was obtained from the Canadian government. They were the offspring of yak brought from England some years previously.
 Yak and cattle are very commonly crossed in Asia, where te former thrives, in wild or domesticated state at elevations of between 10000 and 16,0O0 feet. It is the domesti- cated bovine of Thibet and adjoining regions of India, Mongolia, Siberia and China. The animals are hardy, inured oextreme cold and not par ticular as to their food and shelter. They have very shoyt legs and a heavy coat of fur which fringes the shoulders and the sides and is excep- tionally long on the lower part of the neck and around the belly.

Long Skirts Give
Tall Women "Break"

"There is no denying that this is
the day of the tall girl. The longer
skirt and the heightened waistline
give her added height and grace"
Alice Brady film star, declares. in
an article on the new styles in the
Woman's Home Companion.
s "But," Miss Brady adds, 'shte tall
girls inning was due. For all too
long she was nothing but a pair of
legs."' s- -.~
Miss Brady declares that the girl
who formerly wasself conscious of
her height may look still taller in
the new styles, but she will be in
finitely more attractive. "The tall
woman should not try to diminish
her height as she often Does" Miss
Brady continues. "The modern sill
houette with its long, flowing lines
was made for her. Her dress can
never be too long nor her heels too
high. Let her hold her head aloft
proudly and make the most of her
height.
"The diminuative miss must not
try to emulate her sister of more
classic proportions. Too often we
see her making this mistake and
looking as though she had borrow
ed from her mothers wardrobe to
attend a fancy dress ball. Her forte
is pertness. Naturally she, too, will
want to adhere to the modern
trend of the longer silhouette and
she can, but she must remember
that the angles of the uneven hem
line will add piquancy to her par
ticular style. She must avoid all
draperies and frills and express
herself in the always good taste OF
I simplicity" 49,.
