 Divorced persons are politely told that the proper document sworn to by the French consul nearest their residence in America is essential. Even the death of former hus-

SEATTLE, Feb. 10.-The Alaska Committee of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce passed a motion yes terday afternoon at a special ses- sion recommending the same sum this year for the Alaska Railroad as last year, which was $1 100000.
 The motion also protested the 50 percent cut for maintenance of the railroad and the raising of the freight and passenger rates.

 Should Double; Not Cut
 Carl Strout, Superintendent of the Pacific Steamship Company said: Instead of cutting the ap- propriation in half, the amount should be doubled. Congress has a mistaken idea regarding econ- omy"
 Many Alaskas met with the Con- mittee. Among the speakers were Frank Foster of Cordova, Ray C. Larson of Anchorage, Lomen Broth CTS of Nome, Capt. A. E. Lathror of Fairbanks, and L. V. Ray of Seward
 The Alaskans stated there was absolutely no truth in the report of a direct steamer line between Seattle and Anchorage.
 Protest By Alaskans
 Frank Poster, Representative elect to the Territorial Legislature at Juneau, said: "The Alaska Rail- road is highway and of charac- ter vital in Alaska. In the states where the Federal Government owns most of the land, the Govern ment pays most of the cost of pub- lie highways. n Alaska, the Federal Government owns 99 per cent of the real estate too, and should sup ply the greater part of the main- tenance of the highways and the Alaska Railroad is such. The Fed eral Government is taking out of Alaska far more than it is putting in"
 SchOfield's Protest
 Schofield said abandonment of the Alaska Railroad will be a vio- lation of a moral contract with the people in developing the Territory He said a privately owned railroad would not be permitted to discon- tinue service, even if the manage ment wished it, and he accused some members of Congress as ad- vocating this for the Alaska Rail- road.
 L. V. Ray said entrance of the Government in road operation in Alaska precluded private capital now and the Government is bound to continue the Alaska Railroad and support it.

Canning Process
 May Let U. s. Sip
 Real French Wine

PARIS, Feb. 10.-French wine grape growers see glimnler of hope that a new condensation pro- cess may enable them to market their products in the United States in spite of prohibition laws.
 Experiments have shown that the unfermented juice of the wine grapes can be condensed and pre- Served as satisfactorily as milk, to be transformed later into perfectly good wine of authentic French fla vor. The condensation process costs only 20 cents for 25 gallons.
 It is planned to try the system in France to reduce the cost of transport of wine in glass and in wood, both for the colonies and for foreign countries.
 In the case of foreign countries, it is pointed out, the grape product, not being wine, would benefit by low customs tariffs.

mix or cottcn-Which shall it be-?
For the new Summer evening
dress, shall we choose chiffon or
~ organoie-5ilk net or batiste?
Shall our sports dresses be made
of silk crepe, of pique, of silk Shantung
c. Of cotton broadcloth?
Both sorts of material are offered in
such attractive versions this season that
it is sometimes difficult to decide 1t is
a case of being happy with either were
the other dear charmer away. We are
all but decided to buy the new chiffon
dress with its softly flowing drapery
when our eyes light upon the white Or
candle, with its crisp ruffleS and demure
tullne5s. Which shall it be? The best
solution is to buy both because there
are times when the chiffon will serve
the purpose best and times when the
organdie will give you greater satisfac-
ton.
Generally speaking, silks are more
wearable. more practical, II you will,
than cottons. For the evening dress
that you can wear and wear again and
again, figured chiffon is a far wiser
choice than organdie or any of the
other sheer cottons elected for evening
wear this Summer For business or
town, silk crepe or georgette is wiser
choice than pique, Bingham or any OF
the more substantial cottons The fact
is that silks, even of the finer sort, will
take much more punishment than cot
ton materials.
But when warm days come, the wash
able qualities of cotton always appeal to
us. And this year, when the texture OF
the various cotton fabrics is so very
lovely, we find their combination of al

Aprons Must Be
Useful and Pretty

pOCKETS on aprons are decorative,
but they are sometimes the source
Of sore vexation. 1t was the fashion
season or so ago to attach decorative
pockets en- frocks and coats with fare
at the top. Sometimes this style was
copied in apron pockets. These yaWn-
ing pockets were open arms for door
knobs and similar p-otuberances. How
many an apron has been marr;d by
torn pocket before wear has shown In
any other parti
II you really want to make sure that
your apron pockets will never catch. sew
them on the inside of the apron in-tead
Of the outside. They are not so deco
rative in this place. but they are safe.
1t is an easy matter to put the hand
beneath the apron to get to the pocket.
Once women were content in the
kitchen with an apron that covered the
| front Of their frocks. If it was very
ambitious it had a bib to cover the front
| Of the bodice. and sometimes there were
overcuffs to be drawn over the sleeves
OF the frock.
| Now the up-to-date woman usually
wants an apron that does more than
this. and the aprons that slip on like
coats and then faSten with belt extern
sions that meet at the back have been
adopted by many women. Others like
aprons that slip on over the head, COW
ering the frock all around.
Some women depart from the old
time usage to so great an extent that
they wear an apron not to cover their
frocks but in place Of a frock. It is
! hard to draw the line between the sim
pie form Of house frock and the work
apron. A very convenient arrangement
| is to have simple. thin frock in which
one can appear at the breakfast table or
In case of an unexpected caller, and
then to wear an enveloping work apron
over it. This can quickly be removed

Care of Shoes

Isn't one of the most vexing problems
you have to solve in putting your pos
sessions in order. this question OF where
you can put your shoes? One almost
envies the person with only one pair
of shoes, for then there would be no
problem at all But. of course, there
is very poor economy in having only a
single pair of shoes at time, or even
two or three pairs. For economy's sake,
If for no other, you should have several
pairs in use at the same time. 1t is a
fact that cannot be gainsaid that two
pairs of shoes, if worn alternately, last
longer than two pairs when one is worn
out before the other has been worn
at all
The life of a shoe depends on the
way it is kept when not in use almost
as much as on the way it Is worn.
Shoes should always be cleaned before
they are put away. Of course, you want
to do this if you have to keep shoes in
your clothes closet, for the idea of
taking dirt from the street in closet
is repulsive enough. Moreover if mud
and CRIME remain on shoes, they mar
and wear out the shoes. If damp, shoes
should be thoroughly dried on shoe
trees before they are put away. If you
do not have shoe-trees for all your shoes
you should stuff them with papers when
not in use. This is especially true Of
light slippers that may easily be pressed
out OF shape.
