American Men Are Probably the Best
Husbands and Worst Lovers of All.

Most women burst into tears when
men propose to them, and the men
think that it is because they are over
come with joy at getting such good
things as they are. but in reality the
women are crying out loud with
chagrin and disappointment at the
prosaic, commonplace way in which
they have done it. The big mo-
hent of their lives, to which
they had been looking forward ever
since they were little girls in pigtails,
has been ruined. Their last chance
at romance is gone. They are never
going to hear the impassioned speech
that they pine and long to hear and
which they have dreamed of treasur-
ing in their memories and repeating
to their grandchildren when they are
withered old women.

THE American husband Is the best
husband in the world and the
worst lover. He gives his wife every
thing in the world she wants except
the thing she wants most, and that
| is sentiment. And if before marriage
he is dumb Romeo who finds court
| ship arduous and embarrassing and
boresome, after marriage he is both
dumb and blind; and he cuts out
the soft talk entirely.
There are thousands upon thousands
of women whose husbands stopped
all love-making on their honeymoon
with suddeneSs that Jared the
brides back teeth loose. Plenty
of women are thereafter bound to take
it for granted that their husbands
still feel an affection for them, since
they have not divorced them. But
their husbands never show them any
tenderness. they never pay them a
compliment, they never notice what
they have on, or whether they are sick
or well, or happy or miserable. And.
so far as the wives can see, they are
regarded with no more personal feel
ing than their husbands have for the
kitchen range. or the electric light,
or any other household convenience.
TT IS this that makes women the
easy prey of any adventurer who
comes along who makes burning, pas
sionate love to them and who makes
them feeI-even TOR an hour-that
the, are heroines IN the great adven-
ture OF which they have dreamed Sc
long. 1t is this soul-hunger that
makes otherwise sensible women run
off after iong-haired prophets OF
strange cults. It is because women
cannot get at home the food for
which they starve that makes re-
spectacle wives ana mothers get into
compromising affairs with lounge liz
ards and dancing partners in tea

| this way is to use not one heavy ap-
plication in one place, but many light
ones. scattered. Start with your lin
gerie. 1t is a good idea to spray un-
dergarmentS after laundering. What
could be more refreshing than to slip
into delicately perfumed lingerie?
Your evening frock may be pre-
perfumed, too. If sprayed on an hour
or two before wearing, you will be sure
that the perfume will not be too heavy.
Big sleeves. floating draperies, should
leave trail of perfume in their wake.
Artificial flowers should smell like real
ones.
Perfumed gloves were the rage In
Queen Elizabeth's day. Now clever
moderns follow her example. Then
there are all the heroines of romance
with perfumed hair! And don't for
get eyebrows!
OF particular perfumes it is difficult
to speak, as they are all so delightful,
and one persons preference among
them is never another's. However,
there are favorites that have stood
the test of several years and still re-
main popular. One of these is shown
in the photograph above. 1t is an odd,
unusual fragrance hard to describe,
although We are using it at the mo-

We have story about one of these

PLAIN INDECENCY

The Indian Love Call" is beautiful piece of music It has haunting melody which fingers. They played it last night at the Republican rally at the Coli Theatre with the tenderness of mother soothing a fractious child. Presented on somewhat puzzling but tunefu musical program which included "Nobodys Sweetheart Now and Red Sails in the Sunset" it is amentabe this intimation of beauty and artistry was later lost in some subsequent grossness
 It had some appropriateness at last nights rally, coming as it did just preceding Chairman Howard Stablers dispatch of messages to various members of the Alaska Native Brotherhood over the radio broadcasting system and following hilarious comedy motion picture dealing with fishing.
 Chairman Stabler apty described the audience when he said it was "a nice good crowd with quite a number of Republicans" The several candidates were the platform along with other party leaders and the speakers of the evening MT. Gore, who is the Republican candidate for Delegate, and MT Mccain, who seeks the office of Attorney General on the same ticket The former made fitting remarks an account of which appears elsewhere in this paper MT Mccain also made remarks, many of them dealing with subjects rarely if ever dis cussed before mixed audiences particularly with young children present, and probably never before over a broadcast and certainly not for printing in family newspaper.
 We have no quarrel with MT. Mccain for being proud of his knowledge of such things But in be- half of those thousands of good, clean, upstanding Alaskans of all parties and faiths feel called upon to enter protest against this any other political campaign in Alaska sinking to the level of plain in- decency The intelligence of Alaska voters is just high as the intelligence of any group of people in the world The people of this Territory resent and rightly SO being addressed, plainly shown last night when the audience too abashed to even laugh.

Horoscope ''The stars incline
 but do not cOmpel'
SUNDAY, AUGUST 30, 1886

SUNDAY, AUGUST 30, 1886
 Adverse planetary aspects rule today, according to astrology. It is day where there will be small ir- ritaticns and tendency toward ex- treme physical discomfort. Patience should be cultivated.
 It is wise to postpone letter writ ing lest sentiments that are ex- pressed will be regretted later. It is especially unlucky for love mis- sives.
 Women of all ages may be diff cult to manage under this sway which is believed to encourage ex- traordinary demands upon the fam fly pocketbook and criticism of do- mestic conditions.
 Girls need not expect flattery or ardent wooing under this rule of the stars, for it frowns upon TO- nance and inspires caution among suitors.
 For the clergy the seers foretell "a season of constntly widening work and increa easing interest. Science is to contribute much to religious literature in the coming year
 This is an suspicious configura- ton under which to attend church where good resolutions will be stim- ulated into future successful ex- ploits.
 AS the sumn1er season closes there will be strong trend toward continued residence in seaside and mountain resorts. Colorado and California will benefit through de- mand for rural homes.
 Sudden changes in .emperature will cause colds among dwellers in many midwestern places. Pneu- monia may be prevalent early in the autumn
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of aver age good fortune, but enmities may develop among friends or asso- ciates. Journeys may not be suc- cessful.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be exceedingly public spirited and dynamic as they ma ture. Many subjects of this sign succeed in literature or the arts.
 George P Root, American com poser, was born on this day 1920. Others who have celebrated it as birthday include Lawrence c. Phipps, Senator, 1882 Julian AL den Weir, painter, 1852.

 on Screens

Starting in September, schools and educational groups throughout America will see and hear of the many attractions of Alaska through the medium of sound pictures. Al aska's Silver Millions" a scenic and industrial picture of Alaska, with verbal explanations and comments by the Rev. Bernard R. Hubbard, known as the Glacier Priest" will receive it's first public showings in schooirooms and auditoriums this Fall
 The picture. which runs approxi- mately fifty minutes, was produced by the American Can Company with the cooperation of the Canned Salmon Industry This picture is an addition to the companys pre- vious educational activities on food products. The first half of the film is devoted to the unusual scenery of Alaska. The observer receives an impression of the size and climate of the Territory which will be in great contrast to the usual outside mental picture of Alaska The com paratively mild climate of South east and Central Alaska is explained and the agricultural opportunities shown. The great influence of the Peninsula on the climate of North America is also explained
 The second half of the picture shows the salmon run and the fish ing and canning operations of AL askas leading industry The thrill ing life cycle of the salmon is ex- plained by the commentator. Ex- citing fishing scenes are shown, and the care taken in canning the product is emphasized and illus trated.

MONDAY. AUGUST a1. 1sae

As the month closes astrologers read in the stars little of major interest to the planet Earth. This is a day for planning future poli- cies in business and government.
 Labor comes under a configura- tion that seems to promise in cer- tain industries agreements that will prove to be temporary truces. Lead CTS will gain power as they lose popularity
 There is good sign for men and women in high places. While there may be defections among their ad- mirers and supporters many will re- tain exalted positions that endow them with authority.
 This should be an suspicious di- rection of the stars under which to seek employment and to gain prom ise for the future. Men will be more fortunate than women.
 Foreign seers prophecy for next month decided turn for the worse in the European international sit uation. Wheat crop failures may add to need of wholesale food dis tribution.
 In sustaining great armies, Italy, France and Germany now will face financial problems that will cause world complications affecting the United States Some sort of sud- den news may be expected astrolo- gers foretell
 Canada and Australia are to have an autumn of extraordinary prosperity Land values will soar and populations will increase.
 Persons whose birthadte it is have the augury of year of peace and profit. Much company and pleas ure seeking are indicated.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be independent, courag- eous, thoughtful and able to realize their ambitions.
 Wilhelmina, Queen of the Meth erlands, was born on this day 1880 Others who have celebrated it as a birthday include Edward Lee Thorn dike, psychologist, 1874; Jacques Louis David, French painter, 1748; Jean Frederick Oberlin, pastor and philanthropist, 1740.
