 the average wool growth is one third greater per animal than the average for sheep-growlng regions Of the States; and prices for the Aleutian product is from three to 10 cents per pound higher.
 Unsound Promotion Alleged
 So far as the sheep themselves are concerned, since the start was made about Is years ago, the ami mals have fared well, but the op- orators have done very poorly averred MT. Moffatt Methods of promotion have tended to give the industry a black eye. Money raised for stocking ranges and caring for the animals has, in some in- stances, been used for establish ing big offices in cities thousands Of miles away from the range, buy ing yachts and in other ways en- tirely foreign to the industry.
 The wool production Of Alaska in 1928, MT. Moffatt added, was more than 5S.OCo pounds. In 1928 1t increased to more than S9oo( pounds.

Chamber members. They found that more men were employed here at this time than at the same pa- riod for the past seven years. In spite Of this it was estimated that there are 260 unemployed men in the city Apparently there has been an influx of labor from outside points. Local labor, it was said, is being, and will be, given preference on all jobs that become available.
 Whittier Made Chairman
 The Executive Board reported that the resignation of M. D. Will Hams, Chairman of the Advertis- ing Committee, had been accepted with regret. M. s.

fails entirely to live up to ad- vance notices" declared Judge De- Armond, who expressed some dis appointment over the zephef-lke breeze which was labeled 'Taku' today fer his edification. He has been a frequent visitor here for many years and has yet to ex- perlence his first real Taku wind
 Judge DeArmonu said he had expcrimented several years ago in a small way with raising Angora goats. They thrived when turned loose to forage for themselves and wintered without shelter. They will 1 live, he asserted, where a deer will starve to death. He was confident 1 that eventually this would be great industry in the Panhandle where the luxuriant, almost tropi- cal growth of vegltation furnished an abundant food supply Angora wool, he said, would be a profitable crop.
 He also predicted that mich goats, furnishing milk for manu- facture Of much of the cheese which is now imported into the United States, would eventually be grown here on a substantial scale. Furfarmers, he said, would find it profitable to engage in this enter prise in conjunction with their growing of fur bearing animals. Land clearing in Southeast Alaska, he added, is too expensive for any other form of agricultural pursuit to ever be profitable.
 Concrete for Surfacing When conditions are ripe for constructing permanent highways | in this section of the Territory, concrete probably will be the ma.- terial used in surfacing, declared M. D. Williams, District Engineer, United States Bureau of Public Reads, who returned recently from a visit to the States. He travelled from Los Angeles to Seattle by auto to investigate the latest types of road construction. He saw some fine roads, but everything he could learn indicated that concrete was the only surfacing which would meet local conditions.
 | MT. Williams attended confer ence of engineers and road build CTS in Pittsburgh. There it was said there were 50,00O steel workers cut of jobs, and other large in- dustrial centers were faced with proportionate idleness. The main subject at the conference was how to advance construction programs Partly as a result of their discus sions and recommendations, work will be launched On a vast number of projects which ordinarily would not have been initiated from one to five years later
 Local Labor Plentiful
 On his return here, shortly after work had been launched on a minor local project, MT. Williams said he found local labor to be more than abundant. He had on hand a file containing the names Of 100 applicants for jobs where only 25 men were needed. Men with families were being given prefer ence and there were more than enough of them to fill the crew. Secretary G. H. Walmsley report
 ed that an unofficial survey of the local labor situation was made re- gently by himself and two other

editor of the Globe, John C. Rives, had his
palatial residence, which is still standing, and
it vas here that he passed away, June 10, 1864.
Mr.. Rives was fine citizen and a wonderful
character and what The Star had to say of him
at the time of his death is well worth again
repeating. here it is:
Death of John c. Rives Esq.-The death of
Mr. RiveS took the community by surprise,
though it was known amongst his friends that
he had been ill., III health for some time. He
died at his residence, near Bladensburg, yester-
day morning OF rheumatic gout. Since January
he has been confined by rheumatic gout, which,
by preventing locomotion, has operated to heat
up his system and his life was finally termi-
mated early yesterday morning by congestion
of the lungs. Mr., Rives was SO years of age.
He was native Of Kentucky and his first
connection with Washington society dates oack
to about 1924. when he came hither from
Eswardsville, Ill. (where he was cashier of
banIO to testify before a committee of Con-
gress in relation to some operations of the
Bank of the United States. He was for a
while clerk in the Fourth Auditors Office of
the Treasury apartment and subsequently a

first known as the Coombcs residence, before
it was occupied by Er. RiyeS, who was a son
of John C. Rives, and who succeeded his father
about the beginning of the Civil War as pro-
prietor of the Congressional Globe.
The Nicholas Auth home, to the south Bit
was first occupieG-before it was improved
by butcher named Lauer, whose wife was a
sister to Henry Rupert, who many years ago
had his slaughter house and buildings at the
corner of Grant and Sherman avenues.
N 1878 those who owned property between
the Badensburg road and the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad tracks, or who at that time re-
sided there, were The Wash ngton Brick Ma

The one variation Of this rule is the
use Of georgettes and chiffons under
dresses of heavier silk fabrics. This has
a logical reason, since every fraction of
an inch counts in the fitting Of the new

of a dozen starched petticoat5.
Since the color of the frock Is

Underwear for fitted dresses is cut on

we find tailored types, carrying out the
idea of matching the clothes. These
garments consist of shorts and a bras
siere. Trimmings for these vary from
the simple hem, either rolled or with g
line of hemstitching and monogram
to embroidered effects.
Corsets, too, have succumbed to the
universal rule Of undergarments. The
material is cut on the bias to 1T more

Screens Offer
Decorative Idea

OF course, the primary object Of
screens Is a utilitarian one. They are
made, first of all, to protect from
draughts and to give privacy.
In houses built before furnace or
central heating was invented, the big
ger the house the more uncomfortable
it was. That is to say the more
difficult 1t was, in cold weather, to
make 1t comfortable. Small rooms could
be adequately heated from fireplace.
Big rooms, even with big fire roaring
on the hearth, were cold and draughty.
In such rooms screens were OF un-
told worth. You will read, If you read
French court memoirs OF the times OF
Louis XIV and XIV and XVI, Of the
difficulty of heating the great rooms
Of the palace at Versailles. And Of the
way screens were used to keep draughtS
from queenly neckS and kingly knees.
Once a chair with a sort Of attached
screen back and sides were specially
constructed for a royal lady OF sensi-
tive nature.
Another use screens had in those
rich houses Of the past was to give
privacy. In those days queens had
much less privacy than they have
nowadays Ladies in waiting were
always with them. And, too, in many
great houses Of those and earlier days,

room Of the house. In medieval times,
Of course, people slept, ate. and lived.
even the rich ones, all in the one big
room. Beds, then, were curtained, and
screens were used to gain little islands
Of privacy in the big public scheme
Of living.
Screens today are still used to pro-
tect us from draughts and TO increase
our privacy. They are also used be-
cause they often add just the touch
Of color, Just the break In line, that
our rooms need. SO that gives them
q decorative value, as well as two use
full values.
Screens can be had in all sorts OF
colors, all sorts Of designs. One OF the
most popular sort Just now Is made OF
wall paper-that Is to say. 1t Is made
Of wood, covered with wall paper.
These may be had in coverings that
make them suitable in any sort OF sur
roundings. Colonial wall paper repre-
auctions make them right With eight
eenth-century mahogany; wall paper
with reproductions Of old French pat
terms makes them right with the
various French periods. And the most
modern wall paper sometimes, for In
stance, in silver and black, makes
them right for the most modern in
teriors.

Short Sleeves
And Bracelets

Bracelets are in vogue. Many reasons
why One of them is short sleeves.
There is a definite fashion for short
sleeves this year-not sleeveless dresses,
but short-sleeved dresses. And short
Sleeved dresses look much better II the
arm wearing them is decorated with a
bracelet.
The hand and arm that bear brace
let, however, must be pretty. They
must be taken care of. They mustn't
must show care.
Just before going to bed is the best
time to give the identifying treatments.
In the first place. girl should provide
herself with a good cold cream, and
she should buy pair of very large
cotton gloves. These will give her nm
gers plenty of room in which to spread
out and relax, while at the same time
preventing the lotions and oils used
from rubbing OF and Soiling the bed
clothes.
Now wash the hands and arms in
hot water containing pinch OF borax.
and be sure the nails are perfectly
clean, using soap and scrubbing
brush, II necessary. With bath towel
remove the moisture from the flesh. but
do not dry thoroughly. Have the gloves
ana colo cream near. WIFI IIlS tips
of the fingers of one hand scoop out a
good-sized chunk of the cream and
rub IT first around the cuticle and
white of the nails. A layer Of the
cream should be allowed to remain on
the nails all night long.
Next spread the cream over the hand
and with the fingers greasy with what
remains on them massage the arm from
wrist to elbow. This is done by rub
bing the flesh round and round in
small circles, pressing deeply, but not
harshly. Continue this for at least 10
minutes, finishing UP by drawing the
| fingers straight down from elbow to
wrist several times. No sign OF grease
should remain on the arm when the
massage is over.
The cold cream is then rubbed into
the hand, and each finger should be
run through the partly closed fist Of
the other hand until the digit becomes
soft and warm and rosy. Spend no less
than 10 minutes on the five fingers.
Now with the hand which has had
the treatment scoop out another
chunk of cream and repeat the same
process with the unmassaged arm and
hand. Remember, that the massage
should always run lengthwise and the
Joints should never be pulled or twisted
in any way. Finally, draw on the gloves.
