White Family Objects
To Colored Teachers

LAWNSIDE, N. J.-White children
of this town will not be given tr ans
portation to attend school in another
district, the board of education de-
cided at a meeting last week.
This ruling, which was upheld by
the county superintendent of schools,
followed a request of the head Of
white family that his children be
transported to "whiteY school dis
trict because teachers in the local
schools were colored.
Is Turned Down
Since the formation of the bor-
ough of Lawnside, none of the white
families living there have raised any
objection to having their children
taught in the schools by. colored teach
ers. When, therefore, this family,
said to be of poor extraction, ap-
piled to the country board asking tut
ton and transportation to another
district, they voted solidly against
making such a grant.

 from equitable participation in that busi- ness, and our wives and children must suf- fer thereby.
 We are fishing people; our food from generation to generation has been the sal- mon that once swarzned in our streams. Our right to catch salmon in the many bays and rivers of Alaska was first exercised by our ancestors. Today our fishing rights are ignored and we have been ordered out of the bays where our forefathers fshed and from favorable places for fishing with the form of fishing gear to which we are ac- customed while the large cannery interests are permitted to fish unrestrictedly in the places that are favorable to the use of their mammoth fishing machines. The salmon that are not caught by these large machines are migrating to our fishing grounds but we are forbidden to take them by the Secretary of Commerce.
 The Secretary of Commerce says that this unjust policy is in the interest of conserva- ton. We claim that this policy imposes the entire burden of conservation upon us and the few independent white fishermen who use our method of fishing by nets and seines. The people who are least able to bear the burden Of conservation are compelled to bear it all.
 Our race occupies al! the coastal territory of North America from Boring Sea to the Straits of Juan De Fuca. When Russia ceded Alaska to the United States an imag- inary dividing line was established on the North shore of Dixons Entrance, and those of our people who lived South of that line went under British sovereignty. Under this monarchical government of British Column bia the common right of fishery has always been rec0onized and under inst and en,1it-

Hair Needs Air
in Cool Weather

"A good many women think that
cold weather Is bad for the hair.
The fact IL that the lack Of air
our hair usually experiences in
cold weather is probably very bad
for il. We wear hats a great
deal more in winter than In sum
mer. And usually winter hats are
hotter and closer than summer
hats. Not now. perhaps. for all
last summer many women wore
felt hats. And doubtless that was
bad for the hair. for felt is an air
tight fabric that we have long
been taught vas the cause Of
mems badness. However, the fad
for felt hats is one for fashion
not health authorities-to dis
cuss and dispose Of.

your hair in cold weather is 10

the woman with a generous dress
allowance.
The woman who can sew
cleverly can make them for her
self, and so cut down their cost
greatly-especially in the more
expensive sorts. You know it is
always more Of a saving TO make
expensive clothes than cheap
ones. Y on a buy cheap ready
made clothes so very reasonably
that II hardly pays. sometimes, TO
make them. But il costs a great
deal less to make a blouse OF ex-
pensive material at home than to
buy one.
One OF the very expensive
blouses that we have mentioned
Is made OF metal cloth. The new
metal cloth is sheer and soft, and
lends itself admirably to blouses.
The blouse in question is made
with long, tight sleeves, with a
little puff at the top. set into low
armholes. The neck Is draped
slightly, a sort OF cowl drapery.
There is a narrow belt. with a
little ieweled buckle, at a rather
high waistline.
The new blouses arr made with
a fairly close-ftting section below
the waist. Sometimes II Is crossed
over and open at the front. Some
times Il is scanned up and pulled
on over the head. Usually there
Is a belt. Though sometimes the
p~inching-in at the waistline is
effected by fine tucks.
White satin blouses are stfrl
In good style, though tea egg
shell, oyster are also much used
the of-white shades. So are tan
and peach. These satin blouses
are sometimes made with turn
back rever collars, and sometimes
a scarf of the same material
passes around the neck and Is
pulled through a bound button
hole on each rever.
Batiste blouses. OF the finest
quality, most daintily made, are
also worn with autumn suits.
Some OF the new blouses have
three-quarter length sleeves, some
shorter sleeves-and some are
sleeveless.

Once
Were Separate

Four hundred years ago sleeves
were usually made quite sep
arate from the bodices. They
were attached by means OF points
or buttons and we're taken on or
added to suit the occasion. That
Is. a very fine pair OF sleeves OF
velvet. trimmed with gold, might
be added to a gown Tor ceremoni-
u occasions while less costly
sleeves could be worn with the
same gown az other time.
This. OF course. was a fashion
OF the days when cloth was woven
by hand and was therefore ex.
pensive. All sewing. too. was
done by hand. and any trick that
made it possible TO use dresses
more widely or longer was worth
while.
We read OF crimson satin
sleeves finished with gold but
tons with nine pearls in each but
ton, and sleeves OF purple satin
and gold tissue combined.
