NOME DISTRICT MINING HAVING
 RECORD SEASON

 ing Into Nome

A Castleton, formerly connected with lthe Chichagof gold mine, onetime associate with Nick Beg in the AL | aska Southern Airways here, and now head of the Sunset Creek Gold i, Dredging Company in the N o m 6 and Kougarok districts, arrived in Juneau last evening from Nome laboard the Electra plane.
 After stopping here last night at the Gasineau Hotel, he left early this morning for Todd by AAT
 plane to contact his old partner Nick Beg. He is to return to Ju- neau Sunday morning to board the southbound steamer Baranof for ] Seattle. MT. Castleton had intend ed to stop off at Chichagof on the way to Todd, but on arriving here last evening found that James L Freeburn, President of the Chicha- go} Gold Mining Company had | just come to Juneau, so was able to see MT. Freeburn here, then go di- ,rectly to Todd.
 Gold Pouring into Nome
 Gold is flowing into Nome in a steady stream" said MT Castle I ton. There is no doubt Seward Peninsula m ming is having its greatest year of modern times. Some of the smaller operations in the Kougarok are now running short of water, but all are reporting big clean-ups and even the excellent operations are doing well, while the dredge companies are doing very well"
 1 Perhaps the most dramatic of the operations this year, said MT. Cas- tleton, was that conducted by Joe Sullivan, at Bluff, near Nome. ''Sul- livan and his outfit went right down through the Norton Sound ice early this spring before the thaw had started, hit the old McDaniels 1 Creek channel and raked up huge pile of muck on the beach. Working the pile over later, they took out about $3O0,0OO"
 1 Bank is Full
 Before leaving Nome, MT. Castle
 ton talked with Grant Jackson head of the Miners and Merchants
 Bank, who declared that already enough gold had come into the bank
 to keep the staff busy all the time
 and that there is no sign of a let-up

 Dor Opposes Prize Night

 Hixson, who was asked to clarify his report by Mayor Thomas Jud- ton, asserted that the principal cause of radio static was the un- grounded transmitting system used by the local utility company. He asserted that to ground the system would be an expensive process but that it could be accomplished with out great trouble if a longtime program would be adopted.
 The radio inspector also request ed that attention be given to in reference caused by high power lines running through town. This is more troublesome during wet weather and is caused by leakage from the small type insulators,' he said
 Hixson asked permission to work with the building inspector in ex- amining all electrical equipment be- fore installation in orGer to find potential trouble. This was agreed to by Councilmen and the building inspector
 After Central Labor Council Pres ident Jennings told the Council his organization wanted "Silver Night" abolished,' City Attorney Frank Foster explained that recently he had consulted with theatre owners and had told them to throw out all names that were not known locally. This has been done by responsible local committee, the city attorney said.
 Most members of the City Council said that since Juneau people like to gamble anyway" they couldn't see that Silver Nights were any worse than ordinary poker playing

Manners
of the
Moment

IT'S all very well for hostess to be
generous with her food. But a
piece of angel food cake the size of a
barn door Is really difficult to swallow.
Some guests, who are served a
delicacy 10 sizes too large for them,
will simply nibble off corner and
skip the rest without comment E. {.
which is probably the most sophisti-
Gated way to handle the situation.
But some one who was brought up
In the old-fashioned virtues, and who
feels that a hostess takes pride in her
angel food, finds it as difficult to leave
any on her plate as to eat it all
Leaving any, she feels, is like telling
. woman she doesn't like her cake.
And so this conscientious guest will
wade through the entire piece, even
though she be reducing and full up
with sandwiches.
We beg all hostesses to heed the
guest who says, please, not such big
piece" Give her little piece, really.
And then give her q chance to come
back for more If she underestimated
her capacity. JEAN.

sound very suitable, because the rea-
son why . personally written note

none save immediate family and most

many as you want II they are all your

AChild Must
Learn Good
Manners
Important That His
Training Starts
Early in Life.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

NEAR Children: Especially children
~ of years, will you please know
that good manners are very important
to you? You see, you are the most
important person in life to yourself.
You must live all alone in that house,
your body, for 10 years and many
more. You have to like person
very much to live with him that long
And he would have to be pretty
good sort for you to like him we'll
enough to live with all that time. So
you have to be careful to make your
self the kind Of person you would like
a lot.
You wouldn't like anybody who
was dirty for lifelong friend. That
is why you have to be clean. Keep
your body washed and sweet. You
can use washrag and soap and water.
Just remember that you have to live
with yourself, and you will take the
trouble to bathe often and wash your
hands and face often, and keep your
clothes as clean as you can.
You certainly would like your friend
to be q good companion. You would
want him to know how to do lots of
things so you could have good time
together. He ought to be able to run
fast, and to swim and swat ball and
catch one. He ought to be able to hike
and cook his own dinner and sleep
on a blanket under shelter in the
woods. He ought to be brave and
strong. That means he has to be
healthy.
It isn't much trouble to stay healthy
If you do your health chores every
day. Wash we'll; brush your teeth;
drink your glass Of water; eat your
breakfast; wash your hands and rinse
your mouth and of to school. That
shouldn't break your back. A day
well started is more than half q
success. And the few rules about eat
ing, sleeping, using your eyes and car
ing for your teeth and hair and nails
you can manage them II they mean
that the person who is to live inside
you for a lifetime will be good to
look at and fine to live with.
You like people who give you q
thought and chance now and then.
Teach yourself to do just that. Think
about the other fellow. What sort Of
q chance has he got? Give him his
turn and a little more. Cheer for
him when he wins, and don't be too
anxious to win always. You don't
like the person who hogs things. You
It want to live with one.
When you aren't feeling very good
you like other folk to be nice to you.
You don't want anybody to shout at
you, or shove you around. You like it
when their voices are soft and kind
and when their hands are gentle and
comforting. You like to be let alone
a little when you find your book and
your chair, or even your bed. Just
train yourself to serve your friends
that way and 50 make your inside
personal friend q beloved person.
That is what manners mean. You
train yourself to be the person people
like and that turns you into the kind
Of person you like best.
Cordially yours.

Men Notice
All Flaws
Quickly
They Do Not Care
For Extremes
In Fashions.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

4 NY one: Wasn't that q smart
business suit your secretary wore
today?"
Executive: II really didn't notice"
The truth of the matter Is. he
didn't. Because the suit was neat
and trim, dark in color, clean, pressed,
softened by well-tailored, light
blouse. The perfect perennial for
business. Many important, middle
aged business executives come in the
t-quick-to-notice" class ;. that is
they are not very observant if ones
up to snuff" But these very men,
busy as they are and apparently un-
observant are quick enough to notice
flaws.
They are quick to notice extremes,
too. Extreme hair styles, extremes
in dress lines, high colors, bulky
jewelry, red nail polish, too obvious
makeup. They are accustomed to
makeup, to be sure, and to nail polish.
But it is the too deep shade they dis
like. / have even heard executives
complain that they preferred to avoid
hiring too attractive young women as
their secretaries, or for any ONCE
positions, for that matter, because they
felt that the too-beautiful ones were
distracting.
That ought to be heartening to those
of us who feel they were short
changed by Mother Nature.
Now all that doesn't mean that the
drab, dowdy "old marm" type of a.
decade ago will have her place in the
Office sun once more. For men will
admit that she is a detriment-she
detracts from the prestige Of the place.
she makes those around her droopy
and respondent. For herself, she
arouses sense of pity. And that's
just about the last thing in the world
that any modern woman wants.
The ideal situation, then, seems
to be the happy medium-to dress
smartly but simply and appropriately.
to do the hair fashionably but not
too intricately, to do a quick-change
of character as we'll as nail polish.
makeup and hair-do after business
hours. but for the working hours to be
so appropriately and flawlessly

There is such thing as attracting

attention of an unfavorable kind
which seldom lives long. Let your
personality and charm, merit and

ing lots of plaid coats with Scotch
caps in felt. The brighter plaids, in
volving much red and blue, were pre-
ferred, many of the coats trimmed
with velveteen collars.
A T THE first parties of the season
these same "Seven-to-Fourteen-
ers" will be wearing lot of velvet
and velveteen. Various royal and
sapphire blues are shown this year, as
well as black velvet. Dark blue is
very young looking in these little
princess frocks, for the most part un-
belted and made with lingerie collars
In one shop they have a darling one
of these with such dainty and ex-
ceptionally nice lingerie touches, all
tucks and lace. and yet not too much
of either. The upper part Of the
dress is cut to simulate a bolero, and
the skirt is we'll gored to give plenty
OF fullness. 1t has little pulled sleeves
with lingerie cuf1s. Another one Of
these pretty blue dresses was cut on
somewhat straighter lines with a tiny
Point de Venise collar and little silver
f1ligree buttons.
New this season for junior party
dresses is the use of chiffon velvet,
now that it has been made to resist
wrinkles and spots. These are ankle
length and very formal. They also
make adorable flower girl frocks for
weddings. and come in soft French
blue and petunia red. The ones we
saw had square necks finished with a
gathered band Of the velvet and row
Of tiny velvet-covered buttons from
neck to hem. The skirts were gored
for fullness and the dresses we're
belted to tie In the back. Little puff
sleeves carried out the quaint idea.
A short-length black velveteen suit
Is good with its straight Eton jacket
and buttoned-on blouse of white crepe,
and the black velvet with center clos
glass buttons, like miniature old
fashioned paper weights, was an in
teresting novelty.
Then there are any number of
pastel taffetas in ankle length with
simple trimming. like self-colored
stitching or putting of the same ma
terial. And taking it all in all, this
business of outf1tting the youngsters
has been made a remarkably easy
matter in all those shops which
specialize in children's clothes and
divide them into groups for the tots to
.eens, the teen age and the junior
miss.

Dorothy Dix Says
Lack of Tact May Be Reason Why
Some Women Are Unpopular.

"HE world is full Of women who
are always railing at the in
Justice of the fate that has
L befallen them. Why am
not popular? woman will ask. Why
haven't hosts Of friends? Why am I
not elected president of my club? Why
do women ask me to only their big
parties and not to their little dinners?
Why does my husband philander?
Why are my children always crazy
to get away from home? Why am l
lonely and unloved in my advancing
age?
OF course, when a woman puts any
one Of the questions on her grievance
list to us we reply with such soothing
generalities as we can think up in the
emergency. But if we spoke the truth
We would tell her that she was the
one to blame, not others, and that
there was not single thing of which
she complained for which she was no.

We SOdId tCil tllC WOIldll NIlU Cdll
understand why she isn't popular that
the reason she isn't persona grata with
her sister women is because she does
nothing to try to propitiate and please
people. She is not friendly, so she
has no friends. Or, perhaps, it is
because she has an aggressive manner
that rubs people the wrong way. Or
she lacks graciousness. Or she is
catty and we know the minute we
turn our backs she will tear our repu-
tations to tatters.
WE COULD tell the woman who
can't understand why she is
never elected president of her club
that it is because she is bossy and
arbitrary, and doesn't know how to
do teamwork. Or because she has
made enemies in the club. Or because
she is Stacker who always ducks her
share Of the work.
We could tell the woman who doesn't
understand why her invitations to go
places and do things are few and far
between is because she talks too much.
She will spoil any dinner by monopo-
tizing the conversation and reduce any
company to state of nervous prostra-
tion by an evening of her babble.
Or, perhaps, it is because she is an
arguer who can start something by
even mentioning the weather. Or,
perhaps, she is one of the bores who
repeat all the smart things their chill
dren say without giving us a chance
to ring in the infantile witticisms of
our little Johnny.
We could tell the woman who has
philandering husband that perhaps
the reason he wandered away from his
own flreside was because there was a
critic on the hearth that never ceased
chirping about his faults and weak
nesses and telling him what a poor
makeshift Of a man he was. Or,
maybe, his house was always so
