a S TO what to wear on summer
"A day, simple fattering little gay
print frocks, the more unsophisticat-
ed the smarter, are literally rum
ming away with the show" To en-
phasize the summary look comes
into the style picture hats that are
very wide of brim. These hats are
of straw, or felt, or that which is
very, very new, they may be of
stitched fabric, pique, linen or layer
upon layer of stiffened silk chiffon.
In the illustration we are showing
to the right a most wearable shirt
waist-type spectator sports dress in
silk crepe with neat Paisley pat
terning on a blue ground. The panel
front in the skirt has pleats on eth
er side. The conservative styling
of this dress together with the quail
ity texture of the silk gives "class"
in the eyes of those who recognize
the better fashions. The fabric be-
ing sterling pure silk dye can be
depended upon as standby when
in critical moments the "what-to-

wide-brimmed hat of burnt straw
adds the final touch of distinction.
Another token of chic is the fact
that this hat is crownless, and hats
in fashions realm are going crown
less at an astonishing rate.
Speaking of smart millinery, there
is tendency, whether hats are
large or small, to wear them in an
off-the-face manner that reveals a
smooth brow framed with smartly
coiffed hair. The hat pictured in
the oval inset is Jean King crea-
ton in glistening white toya, cool
papier-mache straw that is just the
thing for midsummer wear. A vel
vet band in soft blue finishes it's
graceful line in an artful bow at the
nape of the neck. With your most
summary frocks a hat of this type
will carry a convincing message of
chic and charm.

A Hard Job

A person has to be contortion-
fist to get along these days. First
of all, he's got to keep his back
to the wall, and his ear to the
ground. He's expected to put his
shoulder to the wheel, his nose
to the grindstone, keep a level
head and both feet on the earth.
And, at the same time look for
the silver lining with his head in
the clouds.-Ohio Farmer.

Simple daytime frocks neatly
tailored of sturdy wash fabrics pat
termed with vibrant f1orals are the
call of the hour. One should include
several frocks of the type pictured
in the summer wardrobe, especially
since they are so easily made, and
alluring materials guaranteed not
to shrink are so easily available.
This well-tailored frock is strewn
all over with exotic flowers. It is a
dress that will tub any number of
times and never shrink a mite.

CHEST REPORTS DISCOVERY
 PREHISTORIC BISON CALF

In connection with the work of collecting speciments of Pleistocene animal life, being carried on through the cooperation of the F. E. Co. ny Mr. Childs Prick of the American Museum of Natural History and the University of Alaska, MT. Otto Wm. Geist, in charge of the work reports an interesting find, states the Far thest North Collegian.
 MT. Leo Rhode and Mr. N. Meyro- witz were working the Ester Creek area on August when Mir. Rhode discovered frozen in a muck deposit measuring about eight inches in thickness and compressed between two enormous lenses of ice, the head and neck portions of what may prove upon examination to be a bison calf.
 The position of the specimen was a little more than half way from the top of the bank of the cut or about 48 feet from the surface. The possi- bility of the find being anything of recent type is dispelled by the fact that no mining shafts were eyer present at this point.
 Since the hydraulic nozzle, play ing from the high banks above, ha1 torn the carcass apart, it was not until several days after the first dis covery was made that the rest of the carcass, except a part of one quar- ter, was located. This was made pos sible through the cooperation of une nozzle man at this point and the Company men, all of whom were in- terested in the find. By use of the nozzle the accumulation of debris at certain points in the drainage system was removed making it pos sible to find most of the missing parts of this interesting specimen.
 Due to the tremendous pressure exerted on the skull by the ice leus- es, the skull is crushed but still complete and with little distortion, The animal appears to be a yearIing calf the horn growth visible but not yet protruding through the scalp.
 The horny shell of the eleven hoof is intact; in fact the whole carcass is in an excellent state of preserva- tion with the hide having the ap- pearance of being tanned, and part of the yiscera apparently still pres ent.
 The discovery of this specimen, almost complete raises te hope that as time goes on, and with the CO., operation of those engaged in mia ing other complete specimens may be recovered, and thus add greatly to the knowledge of the Pleistocene age.
 Recovered in the same area, and not far from the calf carcass earlier in the season was another interest

PANTRY INVENTORY SHOWS
 GRATIFYING GAIN IN SALMON

An increasingly important place in the American diet is being taken by canned salmon in competition with other canned sea foods as a re- suit of the advertising campaign be- ing carried on in the States by sal mon packers, P. E. Harris who is on the industry advertising comIlit- tee and also president of P. E. liar ris & Company, declared recently in discussing the latest independent pantry inventory" made last spring in a large midwestern city, and just released for publication.
 'In this check up, which is made every eighteen months by one of the nations leading daily newspape s, pantry supplies of nearly three thous and homes are inventoried and checked. Homes are carefully select ed to give an accurate cross-section picture of American buying habits. This inventory is used by food man. ufacturers in all parts of the Unit ed States as gauge of the trend of food purchases in American homes" Harris explains.

Clarence Rhode, game warden, who returned to headquarters at Juneau recently, said he found moose have penetrated as far as Naknek in Bris- tol Bay district, and all fur men are looking for a good beaver season in the Nushagak and Kvichak dis tricts, which are the finest beaver drainages in the world. A conviction was secured at Naknek against a hunter for killing a moose at Ug- ashik Lake, where moose have never been found before. Caribou are be- coming plentiful also.

 Both specimens are being careful ly preserved and will be shipped to the American Museum for study and Identification in Mr. Tricks labor atories. ,

 The previous inventory was made n the tall of 1885 shortly before tne salmon packers launched their great nationwide advertising cam paign.
 Salmon Increase Recorded
 "Au increase of 23.9 per cent in the number of homes having a sup ply of red salmon was recorded while nearly as great a gain was shown in the number of pantries having pink salmon on hand. The percentage increase on pinks was 2O.5 per cent" Harris continued
 Shrimp and tuna also showed some gains but not nearly as great as those shown by salmon. Shrimp was found in 12 per cent more pan tries while 7.2 per cent more homes had a supply of tuna on hand. Sar- dimes however showed a decrease of nearly five per cent.
 Advertising Is Successful

Worker organizer, predicted today

they would call at the Industrial

Gaffney warned the strike would
be called following breakdown Of
negotiations between union leaders

H. B. Kline, vice president Of the

and union officials to agree on a pro-

interference with employees because of
membership or non-membership in

COAL MEASURE

House Passes Price.Fixinq
Bill Quickly, Upsetting
Amendment Efforts.
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
Disposition of price-fiXing bill for
the $11 100000, 900 soft coal industry
became the exclusive responsibility Of
the Senate today as 1t received the
measure rushed through the House
yesterday afternoon. Passage in the
House was the third vote of approval
for such legislation in the past two
years, that of yesterday being without
record vote.
The present bill, sponsored by Rep
resentative Vinson of Kentucky and
Senator Guffey of Pennsylvania, is a
slightly revised version of the original
invalidated act
In rapid succession the Democratic
majority in the House beat back every
attempt at amendment and sent the
measure to the Senate in exactly the
form in which it reached the floor.
The bill closely parallels both the
invalidated act and its substitute
which was hurried through the House
last session.
Labor provisions of the invalidated
act were eliminated from the revised
bill, however, because the Supreme
Court objected to them
Before the present bill reached the
floor the powerful House Ways and
Means Committee had put new and
bigger teeth in it. A penalty tax for
producers who fail to comply with the
code Of fair competition prescribed by
the law was increased from 1872 per
cent to 1872 per cent.
At the same time, the committee
lowered tax to be levied on all pro-
ducers to finance administration OF
the law. This levy was cut from ~
per cent to y per cent.
Representative Merritt, Democrat, OF
New York sought to reduce the tax
further to "a per cent, but failed on a

the industry was averse to adding "a

Treasury.
