Seldova hard hit by the shortage of herring, reported Captain Heinie Berger of the motorship Discoverer on arrival at Anchorage few days ago. The herring season, which is counted upon to bring considerable money to Seldovia during the winter, was complete failure. Residents of the town had to provide for more than 30 natibe children during the time the Dlscoverer was in port there, and before the boat pulled out a com munity soup kitchen was placed in operation. 1t had been expected that cold storage plant would be built at Seldovia, but plans for that are now said to be very indefinite.

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.
Philosophizing.

We all have some sort of philosophy
that is, some personal picture of what
was, Is and shall be.
A good deal of this philosophy is
simply handed on to us by those who
happen to be our teachers and aSso-
ciates. We do, of course, reconstruct
our individual schemes from time to
time. But the ancient landmarks Of
the mind are yet traceable in all oar
philosophizing. Ancient philosophy
was constructed on the three decker"
plan-hell, earth and heaven.
In those days when philosophy had
not yet created science. thinking was
painful and believing was easy. Devils
and angels mingled freely with men.
Airs from heaven" and blasts from
hell" got the credit for pretty nearly
everything that happened. Sprites
moved about in daytime, witches took
charge of the hours of darkness.
One of the more easily recognized
tracings Of this old philosophy is to be
found in our present theory Of punish
ment for crime. It's hard for us to get
rid of the idea of social revenge" This
idea is derived from the ancient belief
that criminals got that way by hob
nobbing with the night-roving crea-
lures OF the neither world. Society was
always looking for chance to punish
evil spirits.
This ancient philosophy is gradually
being replaced The only region we
know anything about Is the earth. The
forces which determine ones behavior
never get very far from ones i'm
mediate surroundings.

Your Baby and Mine

When mothers express their ignorance
about baby care hope they never think
for one moment that I consider them
foolish" I find that even trained
nurses admit difficulties when it comes
to dealing with their own babies. We
are anxious to help mothers, not TO
criticize them for their lack Of knowl-
edge. To take the attitude that one
already knows everything Is to simply
paralyze progress.
Mrs. o. A. r. writes: "Your talks
are so helpful, and do need help. My
baby is now is months old, weighs 20
pounds, and is 81 inches tall. Now,
these questions may seem foolish to
you. but am inexperienced and want

rompers? Do you think II got him q

think he should wear stockings in cold
weather? I'm trying to train him.
When he is trained, what should he
wear in place of diapers? He takes
viosterol. Is that all right when given
in orange juice?"
The room in which any child sleeps

draughts or extreme cold. Keep on the

BEAUTY LHAlS EDNA KENT FORBES
Emphasizing Your Lips.

II you have good mouth, you might
as well make the most of 1t. The size
does not matter, in fact an unusually
large mouth is apt to be unusually
good-looking, because it has generosity
in its lines 1t may have sensuality,
too, though that does not necessarily
mean it won't look attractive! The only
hopelessly bad mouth is the little. mar
row, tight-lipped kind. With that sort,
the only thing to do 1t to change ones
whole character. and take a larger and
more kindly view Of life and what
other people do, hoping your mouth
will improve. too.
If you have a nicely shaped mouth,
you can use q little hpstick on it, to
bring out its good lines. If you have
one which needs little bit of improve
ment, again the lipstick can be used to
change the lines a little, and better
them. A small mouth can be made to
seem larger pale mouth made red
der all by hpstick.
Only you must be an expert In using
the stick
First of all. buy only the best quality.
You can get those little cream sticks,
in plain tin tubes. for very little,
either white, for chapped lips, pale
rose, which does not change the color
of the lips, or rose-red which tints a
little. Then you can buy any one OF
hundreds Of expensive lipSticks Every
beauty shop sells its Speciality" every
big manufacturer of creams and such
things puts out one or more varieties.
All claim to be fairly permanent, but
practically none are.
For use at home, the little fiat pots
of lip rouge are best, for you can ap-
ply the color very carefully with the
tip of a finger, and shape the lips as
you want them. But these are no good
for any time outside your home, as they
color the finger; you must use the reg
ular lipstick then. Use only a little,
and never 60 outside the line OF the
lips.
On the whole. use light, bright REDS,
rather than dark shades.
A. R-Try peroxide on the hairs on
your arms to weaken them, as they will
not become any coarser and will grad
ually dry out so they are less and less
noticeable. If you use a cream on your
skin that is made from fine vegetable
oils there will be no danger Of encour-
aging hair to grow on the face.
l.. M-There must be something
causing a toxic condition In your syS-
TEN and the pimples over your fore
head are the outlet for it. Try clear
ing the digestive tract first.
When pimples do not break out,
keeping under the skin, they are re-
absorbed by the blood, reappearing In
a short time unless the poisonous con-
dition is corrected.

Figure Proportions.

Fortunately for the woman inclined
to plumpness, the new fashions are
favorable. Not to the really fat wom-
an; these new clothes demand round
ness, but also slenderness. They will
give dignity to a slightly heavy figure
however, whereas the young and boyish
clothes we used to wear made any one
woman look silly.
People who are amused by statistics
say that the ideal body is eight times
the length of the face. OF course, you
measure your face from the hair TO the
point of the chin. They say nine
times the length Of the hand measuring
from the wrist to the tip of the longest
finger When 1t comes to feet, the fig-
ures vary, but they say six 70 seven
times the length of the foot. from heel
to the end Of the longest toe.
Measure yourself this way and youli
probably come out all wrong. I would
not worry il were you. Nor would
l worry il you do not weigh anything
like the insurance table weight scales
These were compiled in an older and
fatter day, think.
Five feet three inches is good
average height At the age of is
girl this height should weigh Ito
pounds: at 20, she should weigh l22;
at rs, l24; at 80, 1877; at IS years, 1870.
Then she goes up rapidly-five pounds
in the next five years, making her l3o
pounds when she is 40. At so, she
weighs 14l. And quite enoughl AS
for her youthful shape, 1t would nave
been smothered in her early thirtieS,
unless she had heavy bones so the nesn
did not count so much on the scales.
A Young woman of 20, height five feet
eight inches, which is tall but not
freakish, should weigh lao pounds!
Which claim is nonsense, in spite OF
the doctors who sat down and made up
these tables-if they we're doctorsl
Keep your figure slender according
to your own artistic sense, never letting
Yourself get too fat nor too thin, but
slender and graceful and young.
Miss M. E. B.-The lotion of camphor
and alcohol for reducing is made by
dissolving cake of gum camphor about
an inch and half square and half
inch thick In about pint OF alcohol.
Apply this every night by rubbing 1t
into the skin over such portions as fat
hips, thighs, calves and abdomen. 1t Is
very drying to the tissues under the
skin. so it should not be used on the
face or throat.
M. S. IA fine-toothed comb used
on a scalp that has dandruff over it
would only aggravate the condition: in
fact, such a comb should never be used
except for removing something from
the hair that will not come of any
other way.
