 LIZARDS CHANGED ?

On exhibit in the window of the Snap Shop-is a small lizard of the type commonly called water dog" which was found last week end at Eliza Harbor, located at the south end of Admiralty Island, by a deer hunting party.
 AS far as I know, this is the first lizard ever to be found in this part of the country as they or dinarily abound in warmer waters and climates" declared Trevor Davis, member of the party. MT. Davis has hiked and climbed through every portion of the is lands and mainland in this vicin- ity and has always been on the lookout for the unusual in plant and animal life.
 Others in the party who also declared they had never before seen a lizard in Southeast Alaska are Cedric Davis, R. R. Brown and Waino Hendrickson, all of whom have spent many years in Alaska.

AN INDEX WE CAN UNDERSTAND.

thoughtful, observing and analyticaly minded citizen whose opinions arrived at logical ly, recently remarked that despite all other reports regarding recovery, mahy of which might be con troversia or preudicA by perpective that the greatly increased tourist travel to the Territory this year was undisputableS and concrete evidence that the upturn towaras better times was definitely taking place.
 He pointed out that the increased tourist travel ndicaked two conditions. First that conditions were actuaaly better and second, that confidence was returning. Through the first more people had money to spend and in the second place, people who had Savings or incomes, and had been hoardng because of fear now felt more confident and were willing to draw on their reserves dividends for spending.
 Any Alaskan living in an Alaska port could see with his own eyes the increase in travel Definite figures have proved the increase Visitors to the Territorial Museum here increased about 3l9 this year, and recently steamship official said that his line showed 117q6 increase this year in tourist travel over 1883.
 This increased tourist travel made up Of people from every part of the United States, is indeed definite index of nationwide recovery, laid right at our doorstep.

 A boy of 10 or 12 who wants a gun presents serious question to his parents. In the Parents Magazine for this month sportsman, an educator, a member of the National Committee for the Pre- vention of War and two members of the United Parents Association of New York City present their Ia ansvers to it. They are too honest and intelligent to offer dogmatic unqualified solutions for such complicated puzzle. They agree in recognizing the obsession some boys have where guns are concerned and the danger of forbdding possession or handling The boy whose friends have guns will find the temptation to disobedience too great, and results may he tragic
 All the contributors except the sportsman lean toward substitution of other sports for shooting Archery carries implications of modern warfare, and other forms of athletics, such as tennis and swimming are recommended less dangerous, more useful and healthfu than learning how to use gun Those who admit that in certain local ities and under circumstances it may be a good thing for boy to have expert instruction in handling deadly weapons object to the military feeling which colors most shooting clubs and camps for boys
 The sportsman, with the greatest respect for guns is furious at the stupidity and carelessness of people who give boy gun as toy, without at least a years previous close supervision. He does not urge a gun for every boy, but those who ache to offer their parents potent lever for character building After years training, the 12- r-old may have his gun, with certain restrictions He must know that his bullet is safely embedded, never over a hundred yards away, in a sandbank or wooden block substance from which 1t cannot splinter ricochet.

 Nothing is settled by this discussion but the parents of young boys will find helpful suggestions from both sides. Fathers who shoot will agree with the sportsman. Those who do not will be persuaded either to have their properly taught about shooting or to keep them entirely away from the temptations of murderous ignorance through wise substitution

Fashions DEGREES as to
Proper Plates for Soup

With the return to style of soup
plates ii is important for the home
maker to be acquainted with the diff
ferent kinds of soups best suited to
being served in them, and in bouillon
cups, also called soup cups. The
very name, bouillon, indicates the
kind of soup Originally intended TO
be served in these cups. The word
is French for a clear soup or beef
broth. Fashion decreed for some
time that all varieties of soup should
be served in these bouillon cups, but
now there is a return TO the more
proper method, of suiting the soup
to the dishes.
The chief distinction in suitability
of soups to serve in cups or in plates
is their density. Clear soups, even
though they may not be strained as
is bouillon or consomme, but have
some solid pieces of ingredients in
them, are the sort to be served in
cups. Cream soups and heavy soups
such as chowders, oyster and other
stew soups, etc, should be served
in soup plates. When soup is in
cups. there is the inference that they
may be slipped as well as taken with
spoons. Heavy soups cannot be so
slipped, and there should be no hint
in the way II is served that such an
Inconsistency is considered
Serving thin soup in plates is not
faux pas. The first return of style
in serving such soup in plates was
when glass soup plates appeared.
Clear soup showed off the beauty of
the glass most advantageously. and
