Select the Heavy Type When
You Purchase Silver Plate

forks and spons by the haIf-dozen,
six being an odd number for cards,
buy them in fours, eights and
twelves. Never thought Of that, did
you?
All our present patterns in silver
ware follow the lines and deco
rations Of the original schools-par-
fticularly the hollow ware. When
hollow ware in silver was first made
the flatware-the spoons, forks and
knives-were plain affairs adorned
only with the owners initials. crest
or coat of arms. But presently this
fatware took on the impressive
hand-designing Of the chalices and
pots.
Variations have crept into the
early designs, but, generally speak
ing, you can identify the different
schools by fundamental shapes and
forms and amount Of decoration.
For example, you may recognize
your Italian Renaissance silver by
its scrolls and arabesques, the
dolphins and the masks, the fruit
and leaf patterns. 1t thrives in
the midst Of Spanish and italian
architecture and decoration.
Generally similar is the French
silver of the Louis inf1uence-the
egg and dart borders, the garlands
and masks taken without shame
from the italian silversmiths, the
reed and ribbon and the laurel.
Yet, you'll do we'll not to depend on
such general identification of the
French ware, because there are
certain Louis XIV patterns of fan
tastic design - rococo, with no
characteristic holdings, but plenty
of free sweeping curves, whereas
classic forms characterized some
of the Louis XVI school.

Just

Day
Sense

DvORCE is failure, not
~ achievement. When we begin
to think of it again, as such, We
shall have done much to remedy
our present deplorable situation.
From the beginning of our ex-
istence, we dislike to fail at any
thing we set ourselves to do. The
child who does not pass his school
examinations is looked upon as
careless Or backward. The college
boy who fails to make friends is
considered as lacking in some
important bit of personality.
The mother who fails to obtain
the proper obedience and respect
from her children is pitied as an
Intellectual creature. And the man
who fails in business is not con-
graduated on the event usually.
It is only about marriage that
we assume the insane attitude
that to fail is something to brag
about.
y
WTE make more whoopee over
wv somebody who gets a di-
vorce and large chunk of ali
mony than over the person who
sticks right in the game and
makes a touchdown in the last
quarter.
We nearly always speak of win
ming divorce" as if it were some
kind of a prize for a contest in
which the plaintiff had displayed
amazing intelligence. And of late
we hear of gay parties being given
to celebrate the final decree, just
as in other days we celebratd we'd
dings with joyfulnSs and song.
Many man and woman have
stuck to an unpleasant mate in
bygone times because then to be
divorced was not something to
preen ones self over. No doubt
they often were very unhappy.
But, after watching the empty
and inane lives of some of our
p4CoS44G u1FOLCeeS, dll beginning
to wonder whether those old-fash-
ioned "until-death do us part"
advocates were such fools after
all.
1t seems a mistake to insist that
a man and a woman should live
together these days when even one
Of them is miserable in the alli-
ance. But it is just as much a
mistake surely to think that both
should not be ashamed of their
failure to make a go of it.
Certainly We have not displayed
any great intelligence by making
a cheap indoor sport out of mar
riage.

 No traces of the bodies were found late last Saturday night
 Coast Guardsmen said the wealth CT was the toughest in years and warned other ships not to attempt to cross Humboldt Bar.

Nine Annual Appropriation Bills Are Expected to

EMERGENCY MEASURES WILL BE BROUGHT OUT
President Hopes Special Session Will Not Be
 Necessary

WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 10.- The Administration plans to con- centrate on the enactment of emer- gency legislation and important pending measures at the short term of the present Congress beginning December l.
 Turning their attention from the election, Government heads are de- termined to make every effort to se- cure passage of nine great annual appropriation bills by next March 4 to avoid a special session by the newly elected Congress.
 Should any of these supply bills fail to pass, President Hoover will be forced to convene a new Con- gress, control ofswhich may remain in doubt, or government agencies which are not provided for will have to suspend business at the close of the fiscal year ending June 30, 1881.
 It is known that President Hoo- yer is anxious to have the present Congress dispose of Muscle Shoals. The Senate has approved of the governments operation and the House has approved the sale Of Muscle Shoals to private interests.

Recognition Is Made Fol lowing Report from

WASHINGTON, D. O., Nov. 10.-- The United States has recognized the new government of Brazil.
 The announcement of a favorable attitude was made by Secretary Of State Stimson after a conference with President Hoover.
 Secretary Stlmson's statement said:
 Our American Ambassador at Rio de Janeiro received a note some days ago from the defacto Govern ment of Brazil setting forth the composition of the present govern ment and stating it will respect the ational obligations contracted abroad as well as treaties and oth- CT International obligations and re- Guesting recognition.
 Ambassador Morgan, at our re- quest has been studying the entire situation upon which the question of recognition depends.
 "The State Department has re- ceived the Ambassador final re- port and we have instructed him to answer the request that this Gov ernment will be happy to continue with the new Government on the same friendly relations as with pre- decessors.

DEMOCRATS EXPECT TO
 D0M|N ATE
While Democrats Expect tc Steer Legislation They
 Won't Obstruct

WASHINGTON, D. O., Nov. 10. Into the confused situation brought about by the near dead lock in the election results, seven Democratic leaders have thrown the pledge of non-obstruction to the executive heads of the Government. Three former Presidential nominees of the party Saturday night issued a statement, claiming Democratic dominance of the legislative branch of the government. but asserting that the party would place the well fare of the country and the restora- tion of prosperity ahead of po- litical advantage or desire to show power.
 Ignoring the latest compilation of the results which give the Re- publicans the narrowest majorities in the Senate and House of Repre- sentatives, they declared the Demo- crats, to the extent of their ability, would steer legislation of the next Congress.
 This statement came on the heels of the only expression President Hoover has permitted himself in re- gard to the election. He said:
 "The job for the country now is to concentrate on measures of CO., operation for economic recovery"
 Democratic Pledge The Democratic pledge bore the signatures of James M. Cox, John w. Davis and Alfred E. Smith, for mcr Presidential nominees; Senator Joseph T. Robinson, Democratic Senate leader, John N Garner, Democratic House leader; John J. Raskob, Chairman of the Democrat- ic National Committee, and Jouett Shouse, Chairman of the Demo- cratic Executive Committee.
 Accounts Come Next
 The final official returns seem to show that the next House will con- tain 218 Republicans, 216 Democrats, and Farm-Labor. The Senate seems to stand. 48, Republicans, AT Democrats and one Farm-Labor Party. Accounts are being demanded in number of close contests on which the Republican narrow ma- jority rests. The Democrats hope to gain members through the re- counts.
 The Democrats will also demand a recount in Minnesota's Senatorial contest where the Republican ma- jority is also under a shadow, the official count giving the election to Senator Thomas D. Schall over Einar Hoidale, Democrat, by a mere handful of votes
 The Republicans may also ask for recount in a few House districts where Democrats were elected by very small pluralities.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-Offi- cial returns show that the Demo- crats and Republicans each won and lost Senator in the charges from preliminary and final reports. In Minnesota almost complete off, cial returns show Senator Thomas ID. Schau, Republican, reelected to the United States Senate. Pre- liminary returns gave the place to Einar Hoidale, Democrat.
 On the other hand the almost complete returns from Kansas show George McGill, Democrat, was suc- cessful ever Senator Henry J. All len, Republican, for the term end- ing in 1933. Senator Allen had been previously reported successful. Sen- ator- Elect McGill will take his seat at the converting of the short term in Congress.

SEVENTY NUNS AND PATIENTS
 ESCAPE DEATH
Explosion of Boiler Nar- rowly Averted-Fire-
 man Found Slain

CHICAGO, H., Nov. 10.-Possible death or injury to TO nuns and patients of St. Mary's Hospital was narrowly averted when an attend ant came upon the body of John Weber, night fireman, slumped on the floor of the engine room near a dry steaming boiler.
 Weber had been shot to death.
 The large boiler had apparently purposely been drained of water and was on the verge of an ex- plosion.
 The police said they believed the blot to blow up the hospital was frustrated with little time to spare. The plotter let the water from the boiler knowing it would blow up. EsThe police have started search for the man believed to have kill ed the fire man. He was discharg- ed and it is said he told the Mother Superior he would "blow the place up.''

For Senator:
Sheldon, Foster Trailing

In the Fourth Division, revised legislative returns together with the precincts reported for the first time put Fred Johnson, Republi- can, ahead of R. E. Sheldon, h. dependent, by margin of 48 votes for fourth place on the House ticket. There are about l25 votes unreported from that Division, largely in the Forty Mile area on the upper Yukon River.
 While no new returns were re- ceived here from the Third Divi- sion, a bulletin sent out from Cor dova by the Times of that city said that L. D. Roach, Republican, Of Anchorage, was leading Frank H. Foster, Republican, of Cordova, by IA votes for fourth place on the House slate, and that Cal M. Brosius and Joseph H. Murray, Republicans, and H. H. McCutch- con, Democrat, were assured of election.
 No additional returns were re- ceived from the Second Division where all legislative races are doubtful except two in the House |of Representatives.

HALIBUT BOAT DAMAGED AIDING OC FAN VESSEL
Emma Shows Effects of Work in Assisting
 Northwestern

Showing signs oi battle waged against the elements while succor- ing the distressed steamship North western, the halibut boat Emma, Capt. Thomas Ness, arrived in Ju- neau early today. Part of the little crafts gear was lost, a plank was torn from her deck, her hold and engine room were flooded, and she was on her side, almost swamped, just as she managed to get line aboard the larger vessel, and then with the taut hauser was able to right herself. Despite the presence of water, the Emma's machinery was kept running, and she and the halibut schooner Tordenskjold. Capt. Chris Servold, were the first to start towing the passenger liner which had lost her rudder in rough seas off Cape Spencer, to quiet and sheltered Dundas Bay.
 Several Others Helped
 Before the Northwestern was brought to safe anchorage, several other small boats got lines aboard her and helped in the towing oper- ations.
 At the time of the rescue work the Emma had aboard a catch of halibut and at least part of the fish was rendered worthless as the result of contamination by spilled gasoline.
 Legal Nature of Aid
 The assistance given the North western by the fishing craft has not been decided to be legal salvage, but of course, it is expected that they will be adequately paid for their help, and recompensed for any in- jury received in giving it.
 Reports are current that after the Northwestern's passengers are transferred to the steamship Ala meda Wednesday, the rudderless vessel will not be returned to Se- attle by way of Southeast Alaska ports but will be taken by tugs di- rect to the Puget Sound metropolis.
