There is nothing in his show windows

down the street you should pass his

more than ordinary in the display.
Blake's stock is surely as good as that
of some of his ,neighbors; the atten-

within would be the ordinary atten-
ton of clerks who are little bored
with their jobs and not melted by any
business ambitions some day to be the
best salesman in town. Possibly they
are as good as their neighbors, but
that is only faint praise at best.

SHORT SEA CRUISE
BUSINESS BOOMING
Tourists Desert Atlantic Lanes
for South Seas.

New York.-Hard times are BOOM
ing the short haup cruise business
for the steamship companies these
days. New liners, many Of them
drawn from the once crowded but
now all but deserted transatlantic
lanes, are joining the teeming fleet
between here and Bermuda, Cuba and
Central and South American ports al
most monthly. New lines are enter

It's an Ill trade wind that blows no
steamship line good In these times of

past will probably double those of the

'guesses" was that when the final re-

Part of the increase is, of course, at
the expense of transatlantic travel.

sticks for ponies and placed the tiny
people on the fork Of the sticks, pre-
tending to move camp. Sometimes a
baby would be born or marriage

knew about older people. We did not
allow any boys to play with us. We
had rag dolls to represent boys.

what we called large play This play
consisted of real people, namely boys

hunting and bring meat and other
food We girls would pitch our tepees
and make ready everything as if it
were real camp life. Some Of the
boys would go on the warpath and
always come home victorious. They
would relate their war experiences,
telling how successful they were. We
girls would sing war songs to ac-

So, after she had consented, her

About Bureau Administration
Editor Alaskan

Editor Alaskan
 notice that the 'StrollerS Weekly of Juneau very frankly asks those engaged in the prac'' tice of banning the Federal Bu- reaus, what they expect to gain in so doing. They also point out a very pertinent fact as to ap- rropriations. There is a whole lot of truth in what they say. We cannot but admit that we gre getting a very equitable and satisfactory administration from many of our lesser Federal Bu- reaus, practically tax free.
 You may be able to see the logic of the argument they ad- vance; I admit that cannot, If our citizenry were all people willing to starve to death indus trially and remain forever para sites on the body polite, we might have a greater interest in Bureau appropriations.

t pect to do considerable banning

Eect to do considerable banning of two of our worst offenders. the Bureau of Fisheries and Bu- reau of Forestry-at every op- portunity I welcome the chance to state my reasons for so doing.
 I am perhaps a more jealous advocate of the conservation Of A'aska's fisheries than any en- ployee of the Bureau of Fisher ies. I am a firm supporter of forestry practice, I recognize 1 the infinite benefit to be derived from the orderly harvesting of our fisheries and our forests; yet I, an American citizen living in Alaska, with an intimate know ledge of both our fisheries and our forests and their possibilities aS a basis from which to build up towns, cities, industries, and homes for millions of loyal A. mericans, do decry and oppose 1 the policy of the directors of those two Bureaus, for the good of Alaska.
 When the Commissioner of Fisheries, either present or fu- tUre, discharges the obligations of his office, to the point where the catching and packing Of s2lmon is an open field and no favor-when all who have the Inclination, may participate in the industry on an equal foot ing-then and then only will I support him.
 When the Forest Service a. wakes to the fact that they are the custodians of a trust impos- ed on them by the American people twenty-seven years ago not to pass over our National forests to the entire exploitation of immense corporations and prevent settlement thereon but rather to prevent the one and encourage the other; when they awake to the fact that they have no right, other than the light of might, to decree that Alaska's forested sections shall remain wilderness forever; when they admit the right of Alaska to a place in the sun and the enjoyment of all of the di- yersif1ed industries that an in dustrious people will wish to undertake; and when they for mulate and introduce policies to this end, I as an Alaskan Will endorse them.
 If there had been a more un- animous criticism of harmful policies, by the press of Alaska. such as has been the policy of the ALASKAN in the paSt-if more editors had the courage Of their convictions and used their rower; less in the manner of cat and dog fight between towns, in jealous rivalry for favor from the Bureaus to their respective towns, and more in combating unjust administrators and dis, criminatory regulations for the whole, Alaska would be far ao- yanced from where she stands today.

IN FASHION,
Wallpaper in Period Designs

NEW YORK, Feb. l2.-Legend
4 ' has it that French mission
airy, returning from China in 1920
(the year the pilgrims arrived in
Massachusetts, brought back some
painted papers. He gave them to
paper maker of Rouen, who was
so pleased with the design that he
covered his walls with the paper.
OF course, others we're quick to
copy mis- idea. Silks, velvets and
tapestries were the fashionable wall
coverings then. But too expensive
for ordinary folk. So wall paper
became a fashion.
One thing the paper maker didn't
think OF that fashion-wise folk al
ways think of today when choosing
wall papers. What style furniture
is this room to have. And what
type paper goes best with the fur
niture?
That's important, because of the
many types of papers.
There are papers that look so
much like wood grains that you
have to feel them to tell the diff
ference. Others that initiate rough
plasters. Silver and gold papers.
Satin finishes. So you have to con-
slider how the paper will harmonic
with the rooms contents.
Today you may have wallpaper
in the same type of design used with
the originals of your period furni-
ture.
To go with Queen Anne or Chip
pendale furniture there are damask
effects. For provincial rooms, rural
scenes, plaids and quaint florals.
For Adam furniture, classic motifs
of urns and medallions have been
