 1t is estimated that sne surface investigation of the An thracit te Ridge coal field will cost 1000, and that the core drilling in that field will cost $100,000
 As the purpose of the investiga tion is to develop natural resource es along the Alaska Railroad, it is important that the results of the examinations shall be published as quickly as possible after the field work has been completed. To this end the Geological Survey will prepare at Anchorage, memoranda for publication, setting forth the principal results of the individual investigations within a few weeks after the field work of the parties has been completed. Complete statements of the field results of each project, based on more thorough study on material col lected and on the interpretation of many technical observations will follow later, but will be issued at as early a date as is compatible with thoroughly sound and ac- curate statement of the results.

She was out in the rose

beside her and stared down at

It is strange that the thou
sands of people who suffer tor
ture during the hay fever sea-
son do not demand Of the
public health authorities de-
struction Of the ragweed during
July and early August before it
begins to cause trouble.
This could be done. The
plant is easily recognized and
organized groups Of cutters
could raze most Of the growth
in any given territory.
The procedure would not in
jure any other crops because
ragweed grows mostly in un-
cultivated ground, along fences
and railroad tracks. The plants
are always high enough by late
July to be easily cut, and if
cut six inches or a foot from
the grGhnd all the pollen-bear-
ing portion is removed. Burn
ing the tops in a kerosene fire
near the place of citing would
obviate any hauling away and
effectively destroy the trouble
making element.
Cost May Be Great
Such a campaign organized
so as to include large portions
of territory could be controlled
by the State boards Of health
with the cooperation Of the
lccal-city and county-health
units. The cost might be con.
siderable, but when the stag
gering economic loss entailed
by hay fever is computed it
would not seem great.
Certainly as many as a mil
lion people are afflicted III the
United States annually. and
many Of these are literally COM
pelled to take enforced vaca-
tions, no matter what financial
loss is involved. Besides this,
count the inefficency Of all the
victims at their work during the
season, and you have a bill Of

insisted upon her attending to

said smiling, when you come

Was Collin married-or en-.

A Beautiful Gift

stairs went on, "but you shall
have a small string of your
own. Open the box, Evelyn"
She did so. There was a
watch in it, a small platinum
watch, severely simple. on a
twisted cord set with diamonds.
Emma told me that you
broke your own," Mrs. CarstairS
explained. Fanchon slipped the
pretty thing on her wrist. She
said, her eyes filling: "You
shouldn't-it Is too much"
"Oh, but I should! Nothing"
said Jennie, deeply, "is too
much or enough"
She added: Some day you
will why"
They had been at "Dunerose"
for almost a week before Mrs.
CarstairS spoke of her son
again. They had been living
quietly, seeing no one and go
ing nowhere until Fanchon
should be entirely built up and
the wounded arm healed. Then
one morning at breakfast Jen-

her AUNT" was with her they
talked, as people do who under
stand one another yet who
have not met for years. Mrs.
Carstairs asked her about Ha-
wall and Fanchon, signing with
relief, was able to tell her much
about the Islands. AS much as
she dared, fearing to tell too
much, for, after all. she had
spent 20 years there to Evelyn's

Near the Dunes
The Southampton house was
long and low and rambling,
painted white with green shut
ters. It stood very near the

were overlooking the water,

with odd touches of turquoise

what he doesn't know won't

him full Of SeIf-admiratiOn-
and what spills over Is yours!
Don't flatter your husband

why such a combination Of
brains and beauty should waste
all of himself on a simple little
thing like you.
Remember that you are your
husbands guide, philosopher
and friend. Also, the keeper
