be one of the purposes OF the

neering Commission during construc- tion days of the Alaska Railroad, and who was widely known in the States in engineering circles. died recently in Helena. Mont. his death being at- tributed to complications following an attack of influenza. He was 66 years of age, and Is survived by widow and brother. Bailey entered the service of the Alaskan Engineer ing Commission in 1914, being as- signed to the northern end of the railroad as locating engineer, with headquarters at Fairbanks. He after wards. from 1915 to 1916, became lo- eating and district engineer. and re- mained in the service of the commits sion until May, 1918. He was in charge at Nenana at the time the roundhouse there was destroyed by fire, in war days, and it was at his request that a detachment of soldiers was sent from ort Gibon to Nenana to protect railroad property.
 The fox farmers in the vicinity of Petersburg have made a discovery, and as a result of that discovery the fish buyers there have been enabled to make profitable side line out of what was formerly one of their waste products-halibut heads. It seems that a fox must have fish. If you don't give it to him he just pines away and refuses to lend his aid to the production of nice warm muffs and things. On the other hand, if you give him the wrong kind of fish (and mos. kinds of fish are wrong, it seems), he contracts hookworm, de- velops scurvy and mango, and after passing his ailments along to the members of his family, his friends and such of his friends as he can in- duce to take them. he just curls up and dies on you. But there's an an- swer to this: Halibu: heads. The Pe- tcrsburg fox farmers have discovered that foxes fed upon halibut heads, either raw or smoked, never develop hookworm, scurvy or mango, but, in stead, wax happy and produce an ex- cellent grade of fur. Just halibut heads, that's all. They appear to be the answer to the fox farmers prayer. The farmers in the Peters burg district have made arrange ments with fish buyers to call regu-
 arly for the heads and gladly pay SO cents a thousand for them.

 "Of course. Mir Stuart's in now. Shall ask him if he can see you? I know it will be all right"
 Norma said she would like the interview at once. The slim girl with a now invited Norma to enter her employers office.
 "Yes, sir. I understand you need secretary and I've come to apply for the position"
 Stuart strengthened back. He was a dark man and he wore large dark-rjmmed spectacles. The hair over his temples was rather thin. ly like any businessman and this was something of surprise. Dinly she had envisaged a literary agent as a sort of poetic creature with wavy hair. Windsor tie and affect ed slouching garments. Frederick J. Stuart looked essentially prac- tical.
 "Sit down, Miss Travers," he said. Miss Fenway tells me you've had considerable experience. Take dictation, suppose?"
 "Yes, sir. Most of my experi- ence has been in law office. I've had practice taking letters in shorthand and also on the dicta- phone"
 q see. Well, let's have a try at it. Ask Miss Fenway for a notebook"
 Norma went for the notebook. For half an hour she took dicta- ton at high speed and afterward transcribed the notes. Her fingers seemed clumsy as she hit'the type writer keys but her shorthand was accurate. It took longer to write the letters than it should have but when finished they were perfect. Stuart studied the letters care fully. He chewed the end of a cigar but that was not lighted. Presently he broke the silence.

"How about you and Jean com ing to the wedding?" Jack asked Barbara. standing on the curb while she looked at him under the black intrigue of her lashes.
 .Why, that would be lovely" Now Barbara's voice was adrift with lilacs and rainy nights and all the other magic that she knew how to use so very well. Her eyes sought Sues questioningly and went back to Jack, as much as to say that his fiancee had not invited her, and unless she did. .rweli, you know how that is.
 Sue felt small red spark of fire growing bigger and bigger inside of her. It was going to rise, flame high. in a minute, and burn every thing around, unless she got away. She. didn't blame Jack. Not at all She knew that he considered Bar bara a frivolous sort of doll who would pull a. corked trick if she had to, to get her own way. But she hated the girl. She hated her because Barbara was giving the appearance of putting something over on Sue. Because she knew that Barbara had wrong idea that even on his wedding day she could haunt Jacks memory. But she knew that she must say some thing. Something nice and conven- tional. We'll, there were plenty or phrases that didn't mean a thing that were coined for such situa- tions. Lots of people never talked any other way.
 "We would be delighted if you would come" she said simply.
 Thank you. I'll be there. So will Jean. Where and when?'
 Jack named church and men toned the hour again.
 Then Barbara pulled away from the curb, and Jack and Sue went up the steps into the hall, where he swept her into his arms ana held her close for a second.
 Sues anger melted. Went out as though a cooling rain had come from somewhere and cleared the atmosphere. But the little hurt that had come because Jack had asked Barbara wouldn't leave.
 She knew it was foolish. But she couldn't help it.
 She remembered that she hadp t told Jack that Harry and Corrinne were coming. He had asked the others without knowing that. Now she told him, and his enthusiasm was genuine and real.
 "Now, that's more like 1t. he

said. I've been thinking about old Harry all morning and wishing l could get hold of him. It seemed that we ought to have someone here, didn't it? That's grand! Six of us now, aren't there? We might as we'll have sent out invitations. {" He laughed again.
 Someone was coming down the steps. Sue drew away a little and glanced up. It was Dr Barnes, and his eyes were rather stern and his face was very sober. Sue felt sorry for him. He had been nice-mighty nice. She liked him.
 It was strange. though, that she had ever been his receptionist. She noticed that Jacks face grew little sterner, too. And she was glad.
 And as if sent for the occasion, suddenly the winding drawl of Barbara's voice came slipping back. It touched the spark again. With out thinking Sue stepped forward and stopped Dr Barnes.
 I've would like it ever so much. if you would come to our wedding, she said, and she knew that her eyes were doing the same sort or stunt that Barbara's had pulled not five minutes before. NEXT-Harry and Corrinne ar rive.

Mrs Mary Camp, chairman or the entertainment committee of the Business and Professional Women's Club, presided last eve ming at meeting of the organiza- ton. It was the first session Of the season and members exchanged stories of how they spent their vacations and how they earned "pin money" which was donated to the club fund.
 To bills and checks were at tached slips of paper telling how the money was realized. Some Of the members sold candy, nuts, gum, apples and various other things. Some saved by walking to their places of employment, staging bridge parties, cleaning windows, raising chickens, etc. Some of the members travelled considerably during the summer months, while others remained at home or found rest and recreation down on the farm. Trips to Europe or shopping tours of New York city were also features of the vacation period for some.

Delay Shoots
 Buck Moose Former Local Man Bags Big Fellow in New
 Brunswick

It may be of interest to the sev- eral friends and acquaintances of George Delay, now of Keene, N. H., but formerly of Waterbury and Naugatuck, that he has had the unusual distinction of being the first nonresident licensed hunter to shoot a moose in the Province of New Brunswick.
 MT Delay and his party, which consists of MT and Mrs Albert Delay, and MT and Mrs Scott also of Keene, N. H., have been stop ping for the past few weeks at the Queen hotel, Fredericton, N. B. The men in the party had made several hunting trips into the woods, when one day the guide re- turned with the information that George Delay, the youngest mem Der of the party, had shot moose. It caused quite a com- motion in the vicinity. and in or der to prove his story, the guide returned with the head to be mounted, and 300 pounds of meat for cold storage.
 The story was then told of George Delays expert marksman- ship. A COW and buck moose were together, and upon the guides imitation of another COW moose, the buck moved toward them. MT Delay aimed and fired him behind the shoulders, the moose drop ping immediately. He was game but as he told later, he could hear his heart beating. However. ne nonchalantly killed an extra large hawk who at once lowered over head.
 When Delay was asked how he felt about the matter, he replied; q have often looked at the mount ed heads of large animals. such as moose, and thought that sure ly would run the opposite way when I saw one coming toward me but the thrill of stopping him in his tracks overcame this feeling when the actual time came. It was a thrill of a life time!'
