turns to thoughts of spring sewing.
II any inspiration is needed to lure
the woman who makes her own clothes
into do-it-now frame of mind, it may
be found in the aisles and aisles of
enchanting spring materials now on
display throughout all fashionland. A
significant fact about the new fabric
showings Is the prominence given to
cottons which are that amazingly nov
ell and chic as to be almost unbeliev-
able.
So completely have some of the new
er cottons managed to conceal their
identity, one has almost to look at
their labels or inquire of the sales
person to make sure that they are
what they are, and not perhaps fine
silk or wooden as they appear to be.
Almost any effect is possible with nov
city cotton yarns as they are now be
ing durene-prOcessed. often worked
with rayon strands into boucle or
soft-twisted finishes, or with silken
sheen or perfectly delustered, as the
case may be.
The reign of cotton weaves in the
textile realm should prove very en-.
couraging to the amateur seamstress
with whom the thought of handling
anC cutting into costly silk or wooden
all but brings on an attack of 'stage
fright" for although the new and
smart cotton weaves are high style and
look like a Million" they are in re
atty inexpensive enough TO afford any
ambitious home-sewing woman to ex,
pertinent with them without fear and
trembling.
Ribbed and diagonal cotton fabrics
are proving of special interest to the
Paris houses, such as for instance a
type known as durene ribcord. which

coats last year, and which, incidental
ly, is being revived for the coming
spring especially by millinery and foot
wear houses. Diagonals are shown in
wide variety. including those of lacy
construction on solid grounds.
Shirred, crepey and blistered effects
are vastly important. The new cotton
matelasse weaves in monotone and
two-tone combinations cater to the pre-
vailing feeling for crinkly surfaces.
Fabric laces-that Is laces made to
be used for dresses and not merely
for trimming-are fortuitously pop
ping up again. Among the new du-
rene lace fabrics are effective swirled
patterns, minute floral and geometric
designs, antique block effects, eyelets

IN SPRING MODELS

There is more and more evidence of
the coming popularity of the cape. 1t
appears almost daily in some new
form. in the studios of the weIl-known
designers-as a half-length evening
wrap, as full-length sports overall
as an accessory to the afternoon dress.

elbow-length and hip-length wraps to
go over young girls evening dresses.

Soviet Idea of Taking
Women Out of Kitchen"

A Young Communist newspaper in
Russia recently featured photo

short skirts carrying miners lamps.
They were members of 'shoek bril-
gade" in a Soviet coal mine. And
above the picture was printed in
large type, "Women's Work in the
Soviet"
We knew. Of course, that in Russia
women were working as bricklayers,
motOrmen. soldiers and militiamen.

factory jobs. Now the coal mines.
The employment of women there is
part of the Communist campaign to

from one dugout to another. Colonel

Prospects for the winter are not good among the Indian fishermen in the district south of here,' ac- cording to William L. Paul, local attorney, who left Juneau on the Brant, flagship of the U. s. Blu reau of Fisheries fleet and returned from Ketchikan on the Yukon.
 Anan Creek, the famous 'humpy'' creek, south of Wrangell. where MT. Paul said 30 or more fish boats had gathered from Petersburg, Wrangell, Ketchikan and Metla- katla, was cleaned up in two days when there was a good spurt of fishing early last week, acording to MT. Paul.
 Section Overfished
 The season opened on July Is and was overfished immediately, he declared In an attempt to inn prove conditions, the U. s. Com missioner of Fisheries, Frank T. Bell, closed down the fishing in that distict for four or five days, MT. Paul said.
 Formerly a million salmon were taken from Anan Creek each sea- son. he said.
 Ketchikan buyers were paying s cents for salmon when MT. Paul was there. He told of fishermen coming in with days catch that paid S100 and one, whose catch brought $700 However" he said, the good fishing didn't last more than a few days and fish are scarce there now. Six cents is a good price if there are any. fish. . MT. Paul said
 Late Season in Southeast Fishermen in the Ketchikan area are planning a mass meeting on August 6 to request that the sein- ing season be. extended until after August 20, the normal closing date. The tendency has been for a late season in this area during the last few years, and MT. Bell said he would consider extending the season, according to MT. Paul.

It is easy to predict vast ad- dition to the army of James Gag ney fans after seeing his latest Warner Bros. pictu e, Winner Take All" which opened at the Capitol Theatre.

 The picture. starts with Jim, ill in health, striving for a comeback at a desert sanitarium. He meets a girl, falls in love with her. He breaks his rest-and also his nose and ear-by fighting to raise some money she needs. He leaves her with a promise of reunion and mar Iriage to re-enter his career in New York. Once there he forgets her for a society girl who is interested in him only as an oddity.
 The crude boxer goes .high-hat for the society girls sake. He has his broken nose and cauliflower lear fixed by a plastic surgeon and starts getting culture in a big way E
 From there on the plot contains many complications which intrigue and hold the interest intensely un- til they are worked out at the end of the picture.

American Legion With 2 Game Lead Has Decided
 Advantage to Win

With five games remaining on the schedule, the second half of the City League season will un- dallbtedly run over into next week, instead of closing next Sunday as chartel., Three of the remaining games are postponed tilts and the other two are on the regular for Friday and Sunday.
 The Vets, leading by two full games, have three games to play The Moose, in second place, have an equal number, and the Elks, one-half game behind the Paps, have four.
 Theoretically it is possible for either of the two lower place clubs to win the second half pennant But the Vets have a decided edge. They can drop one of the three games ie1c and still tie either of the other clubs who would have to win all their remaining games to get that far. The Vets have to lose all of their games in order for either one of the others to win
 The first of the postponed games to be played, the Elks-Legion game of June 30, is slated for the first day that weather conditions will permit, tonight if possible, when it does not interfere with the sched- ule. The Elks and Moose have one postponed from July 19, and the Vets and Moose one postponed from yesterday.
