 Good Livestock Section
 Kodiak is one of the most prom ising livestock sections in the Ter ritory I dislike to discontinue our work there, but lack of funds makes such abandonment imperative. Our other stations will be able to carry on efficiently
 The Sitka station, which in the death some months ago of E. A. Eggersgluess, lost a good horti- culturalist, has found a capable successor to him in Clifford Cordy, said Dr. Alberts. MT. Cordy has been at the station since May l. He is a graduate of the Oregon Agricultural College.
 Settlers Along Railroad
 Doctor Alberts visited the Mata- nuska Experiment station on his trip to the Westward. He also talked with M. D. Snodgrass, agri- cultural and industrial agent of the Alaska Railroad. Twenty-Five new settlers have taken land along the line of the railroad in the Mata- nuska Valley this year, and there are prospects that about 50 more will arrive to establish farm homes before the beginning of next win ter.
 Doctor Alberts left on the Aleu- tian. yesterday for the Westward again. He expects to remain away until September.

Wool georgette is favorite with
them-almost as sheer as silk geor-
gette. And you can do everything
to wool georgette that you can do
to silk. Drape it, fine-pleat it, hand
roll the hems-until your wool dress
is just as formal and dressy as your
silk one.
Even the Paris dressmakers have
succumbed to the charms of sheer
wool and are using it not only in
their sports and tailored street
models but in their more formal
gowns as well.
Witness the dress by Lanvin in
the accompanying sketch. You can
see that this dress might easily be
Of silk. But it isn't. It's a sheer,
fine wool, trimmed with bit of fiat
fur that makes it even more dressy.
Yet surely it's dress that's quite
formal enough for most afternoon
events.
The other sketch shows one good
example of the kind of simply
tailored street dress fashionable
women are wearing. Btu there are
many others equally smart as
you'll find when you go shopping for
them.

What's in Fashion?

ner-
What will you wear? What will
they wear-these representatives of
the smart gathering places Of the
world?
Sheer wool dresses. Yes. even in
the afternoon. Because sheer wool
has become so fine and soft and
light that it's assumed the formality
which was formerly the exclusive
property Of silk.
There's scarcely any place these
days where sheer wool can't 90 as
fashionably as silk.
Perfect for Street
Surely it's the perfect fabric for
street and general wear for fall. It
has the new look you want this
time of year. 1t has the comfort
you like, too.
There isn't morning goes by
when you can't see is stepping
out Of the Rolls Royse that drive
up to the exclusive restaurants and
shops. 1t walks down the gang
plank of every incoming liner now
bringing home those fashionable
who hurried to Paris for a bit of
fall shopping.
Sheer wool tailors into those
crisp, neat dresses women want for
times like those. And they wear
it on less exciting occasions, too
when they go out to walk their blue
ribbon dogs or step round the cor
ner to order flowers for the table.
Wool Crepe Types
The woods we see these women
wearing are the wool crepe variety,
with a fine, pebbly surface that's
sometimes ribbed and sometimes
in diagonal pattern.
They wear them in dresses
or other simply tailored types that
look business-like and alert.
When we find these same fash
ionables at matinees, bridge or tea,
they're still wearing woods. Sheer
and finer woods than their street
dresses. So sheer and fine, in fact.
and made in such formal looking
you can't tell at dis
lance that they are woods.

THE tea we drink Is not like that
served in the United States" this en-
voys wife declared 1T is much more
bitter and is drunk without either
sugar or cream"
Tea Ceremony Described.
According to Mime. Debuchi. a tea
ceremony is special social function
in Japan.
In the course of this ceremony a
powder tea is put into cup" she ex-
planned. Hot water is then poured on
it and 1t is stirred with a small brush
made Of bamboo. The result is very
bitter. but nice, tea Of a pretty green
color. 1t is especially good with sweet
cake. Sometimes we make delicious
green ice cream with this powder tea"
In addition to being fond of enter
tanning and connoisseur Of tea,
Madame Debuchi divulged another in
terest of which she is very fond.
I've become a movie fan now" she
said In her inimitable way. Il had not
been in movie theatcr until I came
to the United States" Madame Debuchi,
however, is not addicted to any partic-
ular star.
One thing about Japan has stood out
like an uuwavering light in changing
world. While ctiler crowns have COL
lopsed and thrones have sunk into the
discard. the japanese people still love
and revere their Emperor.
Emperor Is 124th Of Line.
las you know" Madame Debuchi be-
gan when asked about this anomaly,
the present Emperor is the l24th dill ect
descendant of the first Emperor. Thus,
the imperial house has been preserved
in one unbroken line through all these
centuri-s. The first Emperor was sup
posed to be the son of the Sun Goddess.
Just before she died she is said to have
given him a mirror, sword, and a
sacred jade which We to this day be-
lieve are in the possession of the i'm
perial family
The Emperor is the actual head OF
the empire" she continued He ap-
points the prime minister and gives his
consent to the other members of the
cabinet as we'll as to the legislation
passed by the Imperial Diet Venera-
ton for our emperors has been one out
standing cause of the political solidarity
Of Japan"
Madame Debuchi then told a beauti-
full legend which is popular with her
people.
The Sun Goddess had brother"
she began, who did something one
time that displeased the goddess very
much. In order to show her displeasure
she hid herself in cave. Then every
thing was dark, for the sun was hid
from the world.
Deities Were Assembled.
This frightened everyone very much
Gods and goddes ses assembled before
the cave and imp'ored her to come out
but all in vain She would not heed
their entreaties. At last one very clever
goddess began to dance before the cave
and the music became very gay The
Sun Goddess, wishing to see what it

This accounts for the fact that she
takes only part and not all of the
cultures with which she has come in
contact and mingles them with her
own. Perhaps a recent writer said
it best when he declared that Japan
can appreciate the Occident intellect
ually, but emotionally and spiritually
she is still of the Orient"
And so Nine Debuchi has intelli-
gently viewed her native land from a
distant perspective and has not been
disappointed with the result. Japan
she has weighed in the light of Western
ideas and ideals and has not found 1t
wanting
Like all other countries, we too,
nave our problems" she said. ITO my
mind, the biggest problem before Japan
today Is that Of overpopulation. With
our small size, distributed over hun
dreds of islands. the matter of adequate
living conditions has become very i'm
portant"
When asked if she might suggest
solution for this difficulty, her only
reply was laugh and a negative shake
OF the head. But. who knows, 1t may

little lady who will some day help Japan

tiny crack
But that was enough. One power

away. Thus was the sun brought back

Japan is noted for her beauty OF
scenery" Mime. Debuchi pointed out.
And one is not surprised at her en-
thusiaSm, for the very title, "nowery
kingdom" carries in It's wake glowing
pictures that could have evolved only
from the paint box Of nature herself
There is sacred Fujiyama, with Its
hoary crown towering against the hori-
ION. casting a majestic reflection on the
blue waters at its feet. In the low
lands neat rice plots add their simple
symmetry to the harmony of the land
scape Here and there are purple vio-
lets and snowy magnolias. The POM
pous chrySanthemum flaunts its beauty
as the national flower of Japan. And
the cherry blossoms, the like Of which
Washington has seen through the gen.
erosity Of Nippon, spread their pink
boughs everywhere.
Artists Turn to Nature.
1t is little wonder that in this land
OF beauty that which is dedicated to
beauty-art-should flourish.
japanese artists find many subjects
for their work in nature" Nine, De-
huchi pointed out. Although num-
Der Of early artists did their land
scapes in such way as to make them
suggest the subject rather than repre-
sent it in detail, the later ones have
followed the detail method. The hu-
man figure, too, has been skillfully por-
trayed.
Some time ago certain European
artists attempted to westernize cur
art. but they we're not very successful.
There has been too much of tradition
and value in that Of Japan to discard
it now. And when Japan can make her
own particular contribution in this
particular field, why should she try to
copy some one else2"
Mime. Debuchi also indicated that
her native land excels in exquisite
caring, both in ivory and wood. In
addition. ancient Japan was noted for
her metal work of all kinds as well as
her skill in fashioning beautiful pot
toy. And these crafts are still today
a mainStay of Japan's artistic express
