Fire Ere a ks Out at 4 O'Clock This Morning

CRAFT VOWED INTO
 BAY, CREW REMOVED
No One Aboard Believed to Have Been Injured
 Victoria on Run

SEATTLE, Nov. 28. Steamer Alameda, owned and operated by the Alaska Steamship Company, was practically destroyed today by fire which broke out aboard at 4 o'clock this morning.
 The blazing steamer, afire from stem to stern, was lowed out into Elliott Bay to save surrounding craft and docks from catching afire
 The fire was discovered while the steamer was tied up at Pier 2. The alarm was immediately sounded aboard the ship and the crew scrambled to the dock. No one aboard is believed to have been injured.
 Fire boats gathered around the ship in the bay, and began fight ing the blaze.
 Later, the Alameda was beach, ed at Harbor Island, the super structure completely burned away.
 The liner arrived from her AL aska trip at 6 o'clock last night.
 The steamer has been one of the popular craft on the Alaska route for years and was operated on the Southeast and Southwest Alaska run for the winter months. During the summer months the steamer has previously been op- erated on the Southeast Alaska route.
 The Alameda was scheduled to sail from here next Tuesday morn ing for Alaska ports but the steam CT Victoria. operated during the summer months to Nome, has been commissioned to make the adver- tisad trip.
 TWO SAILORS RESCUED
 SEATTLE, Nov. 28-Two sailors, asleep in their hunks aboard the Alameda, were rescued by fire men.
 The fire was apparently caused by a short circuit
 The loss is covered by insurance, it is said.
 At noon today fireboats were still pouring water into the hull
 The blaze reached 415 tons of copper ore.

TOO MANY CHILDREN
ARE UNDEUWE|GHT
Tasteless Diet Often the Rea-
son for This Condition

Mothers are often confronted by
the problem Of getting their chil-
dren to eat what is good for them.
When they notice that this objec-
ton to wholesome food results IN
loss Of weight and lowered vitality
they are much disturbed.
The lack of taste-appeAl Of the
food served is often the cause of
poor appetites. The cereal may be
tasteless; the fruit juice or the
stewed fruit too tart or quite in
sipid; the vegetables uninviting in
flavor.
By adding a dash Of sugar to
these foods they will be much inn
proved in flavor. Doctors approve
such use Of sugar because it makes
those foods which are rich in vita
minis, minerals and roughage more
enjoyable to the child.
A dash Of sugar to a pinch Of
salt is a popular way to season
string beans, spinach, carrots, to-
matoes and peas. Salt overcOmes
fatness, and the sugar "brings out"
the flavor. Most foods are more
delicious with sugar. The Sugar

NEW YORK, April %.
Candles are back in fashion.

ing. Not real tallow candles,
of course, but candle lamps.
They're back in fashion be-
cause the kind Of furniture
that old-fashioned candles were
used with is in fashion
English Eighteenth century.
And lamps that look like
candles look well with this
furniture.
Not only that, but these can
die lamps are attractive and
look well in any room, whether
it's Eighteenth century or not.
So you'll find that the most
fashionable kind Of floor lamp
today is the one whose light
comes from candIe-like fixtures.
And three candles are smarter
than two.
You'll find these candle lamps
in all three of the popular sizes
of floor lamps. In the Junior,
which is straight up and down,
and tall. In the lounge lamp,
which is also straight up and
down, but lower, and therefore
better for reading purposes. And
in the bridge lamp, which has
an arm turning down.
More Elaborate
The newest candle lamps are
a little more elaborate than
they we're a while ago. The
bases are heavier. Some of
them are elaborated in the
early English style and some in
the lighter style of the Eight
eenth century.
The junior lamp we've had
sketched at the center is done
in the lighter style; the lounge
lamp at the right in the heavier
style.
Then the candle arms on the
junior lamp are a little more
elaborate. They have more de-
tail on them. But they're still

. After our discussion Of glove
lengths the other day, let us
consider the colors and materi-

trend is toward lighter colors,

PigSkin and DOeSkin
Materials were never finer nor

skin is popular for it's fine finish

shaS just launched a fabric that
is much like suede, and can be
washed at home. These, of
course make gloves for day
wear. For evening "mitts" are
worn, especially fitting with
"coStume" frocks. They are
made of silk, nets and meshes.
One of perforated suede has
made its appearance and looks
promising.
Simplicity Apparent
AS we said in the first ar
ticle, simplicity marks all the
gloves. Trimming is mostly in
the stitching on the godet of
the gauntlet of the flared cuff,
or in the buttons. Many times
buttons match some color of
the costume, again they are
metal or crystal. But all gloves
are wide at the wrist and
should be worn crushed at the
wrist. All should have their
mart in the color ensemble and
should always be immaculate.

lamps? Silk or parchment?
Whichever you prefer.
Parchment Shades
Parchment is particularly
good for summer, though, when
the windows are open and dust
flies in. They're easier to keep
clean.
A rather heavy and opaque
parchment looks best on heavier
lamps. And on the lighter,
more graceful ones, a clear,
translucent parchment with
overlays of gold or silver, con-
ventional borders or natural
looking, hand-painted flower
decorations.
