"The stars incline
 Horoscope
 but do not compel"
THURSDAY, AUGUST 2s. 1885

Mingled aspects presaging gooo and evil are seen in the horoscope for today, according to astrology The early morning is time to in terview oneself and face the result: courageously.
 Under this configuration both em- ployers and employees may be diffi- cult to convince of the wisdom oi constructive plans for the general good of the people.
 This is a day in which the mind may be sensitive to pessimistic ideas and for that reason the will should be exercised.
 Cheering assurances are foretold for those who seek employment, but there may be long delays. Many ob- stacles will be placed in paths of progress toward prosperity.
 Today is lucky for the signing of partnership papers, leases and con tracts Brilliant opportunities will be offered to young men and young women, but while few profit many will meet disappointments.
 Women now come under a di- rection of the stars which presages increase of influences in public af- fairs and determined activity in compelling needed reforms that pre- vent the spread of political corrup- tion and laxities in governmental administration in cities, counties and states.
 Death of a western statesman s forecast and his successor is to gain great fame through his administra- tiOn of affairs of the state.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of new begin nings. Crises are indicated. Change will be fortunate.
 Children born on this day probably will be exceedingly intelligent and mentally energetic. Subjects of this sign usually attain fame without consciously seeking. it.
 Maurice Maeterlinck, Belgia writer, was born on this day 1862. Others who have celebrated it as a birthday include Oliver Wendell Holmes, American author, 1909; Pat Harrison, Mississippi Senator, 1881.

FLYING IN ALASKA.

Two air tragedies have been recorded in Alaska in recent weeks, one an actuality, the other a probability Will Rogers and Wiley Post are known to have lost their lives in unfortunate airplane accident that could happen any where. The Hines plane at Fairbanks carrying three passengers, be- sides the pilot is still lost after ten days. It is marked up as an air tragedy, though there is still hope.
 Unfortunately these accidents picture to the outside world an Alaska that is unworthy of even air travel It is difficult to find the answer, but everything of even minor nature in Alaska is glorified in the States. One losing his life in a plane crash in the North draws comment in the States than transcontinental air liner falling and killing several of the more established lines. It is probably due to the fact that the vast majority have only story book knowlege of Alaska Their minds still trained to the gold rush days when matter of fact the Territory has made great progress Some day Alaska will be taken into the fold and judged at it's true value but in the meantime the Territory must struggle along under the cloud of being something particularly dreadful
 As matter of record flying is no worse in Alaska than in continental United States. If the air accidents were averaged up it would probably show that in comparison with the number of miles flown Alaska has far less tragedies than the States We have them to be sure but they magnified in comparison with other crashes. The Territory has probably the best group of commercial flierS on earth. They have to be because we do not have the facilities afforded in the States But it is silly to point to flying in Alaska as the horrible example
 With 60000 population, the vast majority of whom fly, we stack up with any place in the world for few number of accidents In face of the unfortunate publicity get from the States Al askans will keep right on flying.

A WORTH WHILE IDEA.

Rex Beach, who is, despite his quarter of a century away from Alaska, true of the North has theory that is worthy of serious consideration. The now famous author who went into the North when times were rough and made only what he could find the possibility of sending youths to Alaska to ferret out gold and other valuable metals. MT. Beach suggests that under the Na- tional Youth Administration a sum of money be set aside for outfittng and equipping these young sters to into the wilderness under the supervision of some experienced prospector and locate claims that worthy of development.
 It is an idea worthy of real consideration. In stead of 200 prospectors the writer points out, 200O potential prospectors might be put in the field, and thus tap the great resources that Alaska is known to have.
 Thousands of college young are marking time in the States waiting for something to do as Beach explains. If these young men could be put into the field there is telling what they might

BY LOIS LEEDS.

DEAR MISS LEEDS: am 81 years
old, weigh 104 pounds and am
feet IL inches tall. What should I
weigh according to my age and height?
Is there anything I can do to make
myself grow taller? stand erect
and have q nice figure for my size.
but am so short I look out Of pro-
portion with a tall 10y. CD How
should wear my hair? 1t Is shoulder
length, my face is rather full. Do
YOU think short hair would become
me? 90 My hair is light brown and
my eyes are dark brown. What colors
in dresses and makeup should wear?
NV complexion Is medium. a. Is
there anything I can do to make my
feet grow? I wear size 11a to az
slippers and I find it very difficult to
get my size in a dress slipper with
high heels. 90 Is there anything I
can do to improve soft. shabby finger
nails? Thanking you for your help.
SHARON.
Answer.-You are of the petite
type, and I doubt very much If you
will grow any more a. your age. The
ideal weight for your age and height
is between 1o4 and Ito pounds. Stand
tall and keep your figure trim and
supple through outdoor exercise. Don't
worry about being short in proportion
with a tall boy; boys usually admire
small girls. Many of the taller girls
would gladly exchange places with you
il they could. Then, too. the small
type of girl can wear the youthful
sizes, and it does not cost her half
so much to dress becomingly as 1t
does the girl Of the taller type, built
on q heavier plan. You have a great
deal to be thankful for. (2) II you
want to keep your hair at shoulder
length, wear it parted on right or left
side-whicheve is most becoming
and arrange soft, deep waves on the
sides. Have a few curls on the fore
head near the part and the back hair
may either be curled or turned under
in a roll at the nape Of the neck.

and dark blues, lavender, pale pink
and rose. ivory, white with pink tint,
rust, henna, amber, dove gray and
coral. "a It's natural for q girl OF
your type and build to have small
feet, you should wear sports shoes
and a medium low heel for everyday
wear. I am quite sure, however, that
YOU will find a suitable dress slipper

Cook for
Vacation Job
Finding Occupation
for Boys and Girls
in Summer Hard.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

1T is difficult to find happy occupa-
tions for boys and girls during
vacations times. They must be kept
busy, profitably busy. Cooking is a
rich field that has not been as we'll
explored by the younger generation
as it might be. I propose cooking as
a Summer vacation occupation.
Nice warm job? Not too warm, II
you can manage 10 have q cool kitch-
en-. An outdoor fireplace will fur
nish just that. 1t is great fun to
cook outdoors and serve the meal by
the fireside. It is not very much Of
a job to build good open-air fireplace
where meals can be cooked well, even
better than on the kitchen range.
Let the boys build the fireplace Of
stone and cement. Stones are usu-
ally plentiful in the country. es-
pecially in the East. We have nothing
except stones in the county where I
live during the Summer, and I see
plenty Of them even in the city back
yards. A few odd f1rebrickS picked
up on the dumps, discovered in the loft
or the barn or the garage or wheedled
from a dealer who really has no use
for them: some bits Of iron rod, may
be an old CRATE instead. will supply
the material. The boys can make the
fireplace and a bit Of chimney with
very little instruction. There are d.
rections in books and magazines, for
those who need them. at slight cost.
The Joy and the education the lads
will get out of the job are worth more
than the cost Of the materials. I've
known girls who could do their share
in the building along with the boys,
when they got the chance.
When the fireplace is ready the
cooking begins. Anything that is fried
on a pan, broiled over Goals. boiled In
| pot or a kettle, baked in hot ashes.
or even an iron oven, can be cooked
on this open-air fire. We have most
success with simple things like broiled
fish, bacon. steak 0f We happen to
be in funds), French fried potatoes.
coffee, tea, soup, frankfurters. corn
roasts and marshmallow toasts.
A cupboard for the cooking outfit
made of stout boxes. left rough or
covered with oilcloth and paper, Is
something else the youngsters can
make, to say nothing of the oppor-
tunities offered in the making OF
chairs and tables. benches, whatnots.
One can be as simple as Crusoe In
ones outfit, or as elaborate as q dude
on his ranch. The thing is to get to
work.
Cooking is a much neglected art.
Too many girls think that boiling
and frying and baking. with a dash
Of salt, is the whole thing in a cook
spoon. Nothing of the sort. The va
rieties Of flavor and form and color
and service of ordinary food are al
most limitless. Given q chance to
learn under the happy conditions OF
the open fire, both boys and girls will
be charmed by the possibilities.
Give them a chance. Teach them
the simple rules and tnen leave them
to their pots and pans. Even II they
can have only the kitchen stove. let
| them learn to cook and serve their
chosen dishes this vacation. The open
air increases the appetite. so serve the
meals in the open even II the stove
Is fastened to the Kitchen floor. What
we are asking for is a chance to cook.

Collecting as a Hobby
Is of Mental Benefit
To the Average Child
Parental Interest and Encouragement Add
Zest to the Acquisition of
New Pieces

amusing collection may be made Of
them. If the older people will in
terest themselves In the filling of
the shelves, and occasionally contribute
. rare and interesting addition to the
group, the child's keenness will not
wane, and he will learn to be on
the lookout for new pieces himself.
T HAVE used the pigs simply as an
Illustration. Any other animal
would do as well. The main thing Is
that such a hobby keeps the child
alert; he has something definite in
which to become interested, and he
sees the tangible result of this in
terest in the growth Of the collection.
It is a matter Of pleasure to show
it to his visitors, and the really won-
derful bit that Uncle Will brought
from Panama or Alaska will be dis
played with tremendous pride and
satisfaction.
If you have ever done any adult
collecting you will realize the Joy a
new acquisition gives. It is a quiet
pursuit, takes up little space, on
the average, and can be accomplished
with small financial strain. I have
not touched on the stamp collection
problem-that Is something that in
evitably comes to households with
boys-but something else can be found
to hold the attention and let out
that creative instinct that the psy-
chiatrist was so worried about, for
almost any age, either feminine or
masculine.
Pigs, elephants or bottle tops-give
them your cooperation and encour-
agement; collecting makes for mental
development and happier childhood.
If you wish advice on your indi.
vidual household problems write to

velope for reply.
