 Almost Half Built
 The total length of the highway from Seattle to Fairbanks would be 2,256 miles. By no means does that mean there is that much construction to be accomplished. Already 1,073 miles of road are built, leaving 1,183 to be finished.
 There already is in use, of course, highway from Seattle to Hazelton, British Columbia. Eight hundred and eighty-two miles sep arate those. cities. From Hazelton to the boundary of Yukon Terri tory new construction would total 520 miles. There is a road 50 miles north of Hazelton. In Yukon Ter ritory new construction would total 480 miles, with 50 miles already built. The International Highway, according to present plans, would branch off the Richardson High way at McCarty, 91 miles from Fairbanks. From McCarty to the boundary is distance of 91 miles.
 Text of Recommendation
 The conclusions and recommen- dations of the commission are giv- en here for the benefit of those who may not see the report:

 Neighbors reported hearing wo- mans voice and then saw a man speed away in a car without lights.

International Hi&l,,oay Is
 Declared Feasstte;; Cars Be
 Built ut Reasonable Cost

The report of the American see- tion of the International Highway Commission to President Roosevelt, which has just been released, is favorable to that project which is declared to be "a feasible project and can be built at a reasonable cost which should not exceed $2,- 100000 for the Alaska section and $12,000,000 for the Canadian sec- tion"
 Delegate Anthony J. Dimond, who obtained the personal approval of the President for it's distribution, has mailed many copies through out the Territory. In the latest mail from the States a dozen copies were received by The Empire.
 Early Start Is Urged
 The most important conclusions, from the viewpoint of friends of the. proposed highway, probably are:
 1. The Commission declares the highway project to be feasible one.
 2. The commission urged an early start of construction of the Fairbanks-Dawson section irrespec- tive of the highway as an entity.
 This last recommendation has long been urged by highway pro ponents, their argument being that building of a road from Fairbanks to Dawson would be convincing proof of the benefits of road through to the States and would act to hasten construction of other sections of the road.
 Copies of the report have been mailed to Chambers of Commerce,

Grape Juice Beer Is Noiv Nude by

 Professor Mazzei is a national authority on enology, or the science of wine making. and Italian news papers hail the invention as cure for the serious overproduction of wine.

 Money Allotted

One million and 96 thou sand dollars public works re- lief funds was today trans ferred by the United States Treasury to the credit of the Alaska Road Commission and made available for immediate expenditure for road and air plane landing construction, it was announced by E. w. Grif- fin, Secretary of Alaska, who is handling these matters during the absence of Gov. Troy in Interior Alaska.
 Sixteen specific road proj- ects and IS airplane landing fields are included in the pro- gram covered by the funds. All except one minor item, $20,000 for rehabilitating the Haines Pleasant Camp road, are located in the Second, Third and Fourth Divisions.
 Work starts Immediately
 Work will be launched imned- lately on the entire program and as much work will be done this Fall as is possible" said Ike P. Taylor, Chief Engineer of the AL aska Road Commission. who will have it in charge. Our Field Superintendent have been advised of the projects, the sums set up, and given authority to expand their forces as rapidly as new workers can be absorbed
 Money has been released for every project on the program and some work will be done on all of them. Naturally. it is not possible to complete the larger projects this Fall, due to the lateness of the season. We do expect, however. to complete all of the smaller jobs before the weather forces us to suspend operations for the Win ter"
 Give Work to 250
 Within the next two or three weeks, he said, a minimum of 250 new workers will be added to the Commissions payrolls. Existing camps will be enlarged, new camps established on projects already under construction, and new ones opened on new jobs.
 For instance, at Cordova a camp of 20 to 25 men will be established immediately to begin work on the airplane landing field for which $40,000 is provided This will be expanded to probably 40 men after the work is under way
 The Nome aviation field, a $25,- 900 job, will be constructed this year. There are in all l8 aviation projects, nose of them enlarge ments of existing fields and range from $500 to the $40,000 Cordova project. Gn
 How Divided
 The lions share of the fund for roads as well as for aviation fields goes to the Third Division. There are eight road projects involving the expenditure of $475 900 in that region. The two most important are the Gulkana- -Nabesna road, a link in the proposed international highway. s205,0 900, and the Anchor age -Matanuska Highway. $100,000.

TINE prayer pillow Is a chaste new
type Of boudoir pillow. AS the
name implies, its place is on the
L bed, not at the head with other
boudoir pillows, but alone, in
solitary dignity, at the foot. Only when
in use Is its place on the floor by the
bedside, where it makes a soft cushion
for the knees. 1t is a development Of
the old-time kneeling cushion of sturdier
type Of embroidery, which was used be-
fore the Prize Dieu in a chamber as
well as on the bare floor Of church.
The modern prayer pillow Is distinctly
for bedside use.
The accepted shape of the prayer
pillow resembles that Of muff some
IL inches wide. The filling may be
down, feathers, floss or other substi-
tute for feathers. The ornamental
cover may be quilted. embroidered or
be OF fine applique. It may be secured
to the pillow or be removable, as a

Everyday Psychology

Sleep Is essential There seems to be
limit to tie amount of sleep one may
lose. Some can stand more loss Of
sleep than others before serious conse-
quences set in. The average amount
Of sleep you can lose without loss of
efficiency Is something like two days.
Most people imagine that the well
known nervous disorder called insomnia
Is equivalent to loss of sleep. There is
no comparison between them. Some in
somniacS say that they have not slept
for days, but that Is really a misstate-
ment Of fact. In every case of insom-
mia, you have your maps. which tell a
story other than . complete loss Of
sleep.
Excitement or interest IS the thing
that prevents sleep. Monotony Is the
thing that produces sleep. Parents
sometimes hnd 1t hard to get their
children to sleep ON time. Provide for
q monotonous house along about
O'Clock and the answer will be forth
coming.
Old people seem to require more
sleep than q man or woman Of 40. But
this Is generally not the case. They
only seem to require sleep. As you
grow older, more and more things be-
come monotonous. Sleep is ones re-
lief from a world no longer regarded as
interesting. The habit of retiring from
this world Of monotony will account for
the long periods Of sleep which seem
50 essential to those who are growing
old
