NUKA BAY GOLD ORES
 MAY BE INSPECTED BY
 TERRITORIAL ENGINEER

Earl R. Pilgrim, Fairbanks min ing engineer who is now operating the Newsboy quartz mine, will be engaged this summer in reporting on lode mining and general mine inspection as a member of the staff of B. D. Stewart, acting Ter ritorial mining engineer.
 MT. Pilgrim was appointed at the same time as Irving Mex. Reed, the former having been as signed to examination of placer mining, according to the Fairbanks News Miner.
 Part of the work to be done by MT. Pilgrim will be of a supple mentary nature, in continuation of lode examinations made for the Territory last year.
 The central coastal and adja- cent areas will claim most of MT Pilgrims time He will go to Nuka Bay, Prince William Sound, Teik- ell River and if time affords, will look over development work being done near Bremner River in the Copper River Valley. Tentative plans also call for inspections on Kodiak Island and on the Alaska Peninsula.
 MT. Pilgrim will not spend any time in the Alaska Railroad belt as the greatly increased geological survey appropriations this year make it unnecessary for the Ter ritory to carry on any work there

QUAKE WARNS WATER

The earthquake experienced at the Circle Hot Springs, out of the Fairbanks region, resulted in a three degree rise in the tempera- ture of the water, according to the Fairbanks News Miner. A guest told the owner of the springs the day after the quake that the water was warmer but the owner believed it to be only her imagina- tion. However, when she told him the same thing again he went out and tested the water and found the temperature to be 139 degrees instead of 136 degrees which had been constant before.

Girls must guard against chill. Mus

may cause lot of trouble.
| Practice on the track should never
exceed six hours per week. There Is a
tendency especially on the part of girls
to overdo in athletics. They are prone
in their excitement to go beyond their
strength and do themselves lasting
harm.
The crouch, similar to the attitude OF
four footed animals in the act OF
springing, is essential for shorter runs.
For longer races the standing position
is adopted, the figures resembling the
sculptured forms OF Atalanta and Diana.
These positions bring into active play
every muscle in the body and develop
particularly those of the back and abb

Grace, agility and speed are devel-

awkward heavy girl is transformed, her
body is nodded into graceful lines, her
skin CLOVIS with health and, contrary
to our former antiquated ideas on ath-
letics for women, those characteristics
which we admire as belonging to the
gentler sex are emphasized; above all,
her powers of endurance. always greater
than in the male, are strengthened, SC
preparing her for a sturdier and more
beautiful womanhood.

Too-Fat Baby.

As I seem to be saying very fire.
quently these days, the loss of baby's
appetite may have so many causes that
it Is futile to attempt to cover them all
in one discussion. Between six months
and one year or beyond drastic loss
of appetite may mean imminent teeth,
cold, an upset digestion, overlooking,
too rich food or extreme heat-any
number of things.
Despite the variety of causes, when
baby loses his appetite it IS always
splendid idea to cut down on his food.
There Is danger in forcing food on

Here Is my trouble: Recently he

Unless there is particular reason
for giving the cod liver oil now, drop
that for few months.
Offer the baby his ordinary foods at
regular times. If he refuses them, take
them away and offer nothing more until
the next regular feeding. Skin some
of the cream from his milk. He Is such
a very large baby that he may be hav-
ing too rich milk, which results in loss
of appetite Also keep the amount of
sugar in the formula low. This baby,
with no night feelings. should be able
to take plain milk without water or
sugar in amounts up to but not ex-
ceeding eight ounces at a feeding.

AND FOR vAR5oUs USES SHOW

:, The bed of roses quilt pattern can
be used with great success for cushions
Of all sorts for rooms, verandaS, lawns
and even boats. It's use Is by no means
restricted to quilts for beds. Today
some of these cushions will be dis
cussed. Also suggestions will be given
for color schemes in reply to queries
from readers. Some materials pest
adapted to various purposes will be de-
scribed.
The name bed of roses suggests gar
dens. so what could be more appro-
pirate than its use for pillow covers
for porches, for lawn chairs and ham,
mocks. Coupled with this meaning is
that of happy ease and comfort as the
expression ito lie in bed Of roses i'm
plies that ones life is strewn with flow-
ers softening the rough places. So in
this again the bed of roses pattern Is
particularly felicitous for downy cush-
ions.
Three ways of using the pattern are
given to suit different shapes of pill
lows. For a rather small square pill
low. use four full blown roses, one IN
each corner with trellis and foliage In
center and sections of these units filling
the edges. For a larger one use one
rose for the center surrounded with

separating them and portions Of units
filling the edges.
For an oblong pillow top put row
of roses encircled with trellises and
foliage, through the center of the pill
low top with sections of units making
edges even. For a. round pillow top use
the rose for the center surrounded BY
trellises and leaves and an outer row Of
roses. etc, if the size requires more
motifs. Use section to fill in circular
edge.
For boats make the pillow covers o.
material impervious to water and con.
ventionalize the color scheme to bring
out the design rather than to accent
the flower idea. Deep blue, red ano

diplomatic representative without pre-

with the reputation of being one OF

He is expected to be particularly

time because of his wide acquaintance
and intimacy with his country's business
leaders AS lawyer in Ottawa. he had
many American clients who nad ousl-

Premier Bennett in announcing his

Because the hobby is SO personal a

Never make fun of the work of a

the color perfect. Never suggest that
they are less than lovely until he asks

Hobby Time.

Vacation time is hobby time. That
means that during the months when
school is closed the children take up
some work. some plan, in which they
are interested for the sake Of the joy
they find in it. They set to work to
follow some line of interest that abb
serbs them, althoufh to you 1t Is silly
enough, childish enough, idle enough to
warrant disapproval. Let 1t alone and
encourage the child.
An interest in some field OF study,
play or work is an open road to the
heart of the child. 1t is his voice and
! his right arm. It Is his tool. With 1t,
once forged and shining, he opens
closed doors and carves out inches for
the sole of his foot as he climbs up the
heights. In plain English hobby is
the expression of the child as he Is un-
influenced by anybody or anything save
his own spirit.
Hobbies are as varied as the tastes
and abilities of the children. They run
all the way from collecting buttons and
cards to flying airplaneS. Every field OF
human interest is searched and tried
out The children are keen to follow
where their urge leads them, and it Is
delightful to see them take on new
skills. new bowers. as they play.
If your boy makes boats endlessly, let
him. If he bagins to build an air
plane In the cellar, clear the way and
let him go to 1t. If daughter makes a
doll house, pieces a quilt, collects old
prints, cheer for her. Something within
the children Is driving them on to do
a bit of work that will enrich them for
ever after.
The hobbies of children change The
boy who made the boats so blithely last
year will say no more about them, but
take up some other line of work-car-
looming. perhaps. Sometimes the child
drops his hobby in full tilt and goes
to another. Let him. The inter
est may have petered out or it may
be shifting toward its lasting expression.
That Is characteristic of all growth
