Navy Blue Georgette

With blue and gray figured chiffon you
might use fairly dark blue if the dress
is to be used for street wear. Or you
might choose lighter blue or gray silk.
IT have a brown velvet evening wrap
that was made to go with brown chif-
fon evening dress that is cut very low
in the back and is too formal for wear
this Summer would like to get an
informal dinner dress to wear with this
wrap. What could be worn appro-
priately with brown velvet?"
You might choose brown and white
figured chiffon which would be appro-
pirate for Summer evenings. However,
the brown evening wrap would go very
nicely with a white dress, as the COM
bination of brown end white is con-
sidered very smart this Summer.

have been to finish wicker furniture

recommending a glossy finish and a

The New Hats

Doubtless you have heard that the
new hats for Autumn are to be eX-
tremely interesting - interesting and
different from those that were offered
for Spring and Summer. Many of the
advanced models are made to be worn
at rakish angle. up at the left side
to show the hair and well down on
the right side. The forehead is ex-
posed at the left side, but the hat dips
down SO that 1t covers the right eye

spired by the millinery in vogue in
187O-6O years ago.

Eyelet Dresses.

Some of the new eyelet embroidered
dresses are made up over bright col
ored taffeta slips. In some cases these
slips are of dark tone-such as navy

pastel pink batiste may be made ur
over a deeper rose taffeta slip.

Satin Revival.

A revival of satin has been predicted.
In fact, among the smartest of the
midsummer dresses for spectator sports
wear or informal evening are pastel
toned or white satins. The daytime
dresses are made of washable satin
which really does hold ito own through
repeated washings.

Timber Production, Export and

Yield
 ''Fcr the year 1929, the timber cut on the two national forests O. Alaska amounted to AT 4S2,- 600 feet, board measure, with .tumpage value of S71 ,409 T.? 1929, 2,4O5 900 board fec of wood, timber, and lumber" vll- ued at $140031, were shipped to other parts of the Unived States; and a total of 162,251 board feet if sawed lumber, valued at $4,- 738, were shipped to foreign countries.
 " Allowing 9C years as a TO- lation period for puipWood and assuming the present virgin timber to be entirely cut in this period, approximately 100000 cords of wood of 500 board feet each can be removed from the rongass National Forest yearly in this period. This output is sufficient to produce not less than 100000 tons of neWsprint year, a plan of forest management based on a sustain ed yield of 1,500 COG cords of lulpwood should be conserva- tive."
 NOTE: Under these figures, the estimated timber cut woule be 9OO,OOO,OO0 per annum. Un- der the resent system, the,., there is a waste of 852,578,0G0 board feet each year.. For ac eording to MT Heintzleman "perhaps three -fourths of the commercial timber of the region is (heing) mature and overma- ture."

 Why the Determinations?
 A Comment
 With almost half the available western hemlock in the United States, Alaska cuts 1,542, ,147, ,OOC feet less than mills in the states and while export of round tim- Der is permitted in the states i+: IS not permitted in Alaska ex- cept in isolated instances We nave a right to ask the Forest Officials, Why this discrimina- tion?
 Spruce Supply and Production
 "The estimated volume of Sit-- ka spruce of commercial size on the Tongass National Forest is l5,800,000,00O board measure and on the Chugak National Forest about 1,400, 0,000,000 feet board measure. Alaska contains about tWo-ffths Of the total supply.
 But "of the 571 .917,OOO board feet of spruce Gall spruces) lum- Ter produced in : the United States in 1928, Oregon and Washington furnished over one- half, mott of which was Sitk2 spruce. The production of spruce lumber in Alaska in 1928 was 22,748,O00 board feet. Exports from Alaska to foreign countries of spruce boards amounting to 2,411, ,0OO board feet in 1928 and 85,00O board feet in 1929.
 Note: Alaska exported to or- eign counties in 1929 approXl- mately one-tenth that exported by Oregon and Washington. As no figures are given for 1929 K ports the comparison cannot be carried further. But an export of 85,O0O board feet for 1926 ap pears to be rather a sickly look ing sight.

The management policy fu the Alaska national forests ta; as it's objective the providing of a continuous and adequate sup ply of timber for the present and future Woodusing indus tries of the region Is is hoped that such industries will in turr foster the permanent develop inent of the Territory, and per init a sustained contribution to the Nations supply of timber products. The objectives, If course, includes the furnishing of a permanent and convenient supply of timber for local con- sumption.
 Timber Sales
 '"Timber sales are made with the understanding that the wood is to be used for primary manufacture within the Terri tory and is not to be exported in the form of logs. cOrdWood, or other raw products, except in individual cases to permit more complete utilization.

 "The stands of timber are ev- cn-aged; many age classes are ltCresented in the forest as 2 whole; and the stands of the elder age classes are greatly in the majority, perhaps three- tourths of the commercial tim Der of the region being MATURE IND OVERMATURE.

DETROIT, Sept. 2s.-Hello,
everybody.
Today is a big day for the
American Legionnaires in conven'
tion here. Parading is over. Now
it's voting. They are under orders
to bring home the bacon on one
or more isues. Like good soldiers
they have started to carry at
orders They have put away
their torpedo canes and red fire
and there's more jockeying and
electioneering than there were
band concertsN a few days ago.
Telegraph wires have been sir
zling with orders not to go back
on any instructions. Many of
the boys have been going around
with long faces because of these
orders. 1ut they have buckec
up again and are ready to tackle
any proposition whether it looks
like sure thing or a sure loser.
Ordered to Stand Pat
Orders to stick by or oppose
the bonus and prohibition meas
ures in the legion program have
been especially troublesome. Then
when open debate on both sub
jects was granted by Commander
O'Neil, there was a sigh of re-
lief. 1t gave delegates chance
to go on record, win or lose.
When a home town post ordered
its delegation to bring back the
convention for next year it was
a different matter. It. was
either convention or no conven-
tion. No going on record. And
it was the same with delegations
sent here to have a favorite son
elected national commander.
Today there's some hot infor-
nation on the race for Com
mander. It comes right out
from under the generals table,
as the boys used to say in the
Army. Wise legion leaders say it
lies between Henry l.. Stephens,
of North Carolina, and Ray Muir
ply. Both of them are lawyers.
Stephens is the youngest candi-
date in the field.

five men still exists and until
final determination is rendered,
the men will remain suspended.
The discharge Of the juror is
extremely unfortunate, as 1t
will cause a delay of a matter
which we are trying to expe-
dite."
Corporation Counsel William
W. Bride, legal advisor to the
commissioners, said:
"The District Commissioners
will not be Swerved in the
slightest degree by a technic-
atty which caused the dis
charge of a grand juror. Ger.
tain charges have been made
against the police department
and the commissioners intend
to ssft these to the very bot
tom. The investigations insti-
tuted at the request of the Dis.
trict government will continue
despite the discharge Of the
jurors"
70 Ready Today
In addition to the 179 indict.
ments already returned, the
Grand Jury was prepared to re.
turn approximately 10 more today.
The Grand Jury spent four
full days in hearing testimony
against police on brutality charges
and it was expected that the
representation would take that
same period, although there was
a possibility that Mr.. Rover
would work the Grand Jury over
time because Of the limited time
remaining.
Because Of the illegality of the
Grand Jury, the Government has
lost q lot Of money. To date
witnesses before the inQuisitOriaI
body have been paid $2,322.25 for
services during July and August.
The jurors have been paid $4,5S2.
