MODERN ETIQUETTE By Roberta Lee

Q. Is it necessary for girl to write notes of thsrks for bridal shower gifts that are sent to her, or is this this only necessary for weddin ggifts?
 A. Certainly one should thank the donor of any gift. A person who does not do so is ungrateful and does not deserve a gift of any kind There is no time when we are excused from saying Thank you' for any courtesy
 Q. What is the secret of making ones self magnet for friendship?
 A. Expressed in few words, re- gard everyone whom you contact as entitled to your friendly interest. Show more of an interest in the other persons than you do in your self.
 Q. When is it proper to use demi- tasse service?
 A. It is properly used only at the close of a dinner.

 The basic mistake of the pursts is in confusing rules of style with laws of grammar. It is not un- grammatical to split infinitive.

The Course of Prices
(New York Times)

(New York Times)
 The general average of staple prices, given out recently by the Labor Bureau shows the sixth secutve weekly decline since the reaction began in April The decline has not been at all spectacular; the bureaus figures indicate that the average has fallen about IFS percent and it is still 2$ percent above the beginning of the year Evidently, then, we have not had anything like major reaction Furthermore prices for commodities which had fallen farthest from the years high level have recov cred part of their loss in the last week or two
 This is especially true of grains. which have re- gained the larger share of their decline The latest weekly commercial statistics have shown the domestic visible supply" of wheat to have fallen to the lowest since 1921 of to the smallest since 1910 of corn to wholly negligible minimum. This is an obvious consequence of short harvess following drought on reduced acreage It shows that the years earlier advance of prices for farm products, which out stripped that of all other groups was, like the rise in steel products after the successful demand for sweep ing increase of wages, response to other influences han the devalued dollar credit nfation There have been various explanations of why the rise was suddenly interrupted. Both London and New York have assigned as one cause President Roosevets reference of April 27 to the present hazard of undue advance in prices" The approaching com petion of the process of doubling bank reserve re- uurements cited But other warnings than the Presidents had been uttered from responsible quar- i ters and markets themselves uneasy before his comment It crediby asserted that London banks were cautiously withdrawing credit from the specua- tors Tha sufficiently obvious explanation is that the advance ln staple prices had gone too fast and too far.
 What will be the next turn in prices, whether the years earlier advance in all commodities will presently be resumed not. questions which at present cannot be confidently answered, On older occasions of the kind the usual experience with prices, when the advance which accompanied rapid industrial re- covery had run its course has been a reasonably prolonged but not precpitous reaction. The Labor Bureaus index numbers show that precisely this occurred during 1924 and 1910 and 1900 a sequel to continuous and rapid afterdepression recovery o prices. The present case is certainly not that of 1920 when the average having risen, on the bass of wholly unwarranted speculation, nearly one-fth above the highest level reached by inflated wartime prices. broke 45 percent in the ensuing twenty months. Even after the recent downward reaction, the present commodity is no higher than that of May 1880 It is about l3 percent below that or 1923 1925 inclusive, which satistclans accept as the normal average"

TUESDAY. JUNE 8. 1887.

IOESDA r JUNE 8, lSof.
 Evil portents are discerned today by astrologers who read in the eclipse of the Sun on this date signs of coming distress to inhab- litants of the planet Earth. While the figure is read as fortun- ate for the financial affairs of the United States, the stars foreshadow much bitterness in the expression of diverging opinions. Press and radio will carry vitrolic speeches Betrayal of public confidence may be suspected on the part of lofficials entrusted with the man. agement of city, county and state affairs in various parts of the coun- | try.
 Trouble over a phase of broadcast ing is prognotisticated and it may have international repercussions. Scandals touching men in high place may be discussed without re- serve in the newspapers.
 Warning is given that the month will be marked by many desperate crimes and much bloodshed. Rome, Moscow and Tokio are to be centers lof upheaval.
 Mussolini's star may be subject to changes in which it's brightness will be obscured Unrest in Italy is ominous to those who read the future as it is written in the heav- iens.
 Warning has been given repeat edly that this will be a year of fires as we'll as floods. Great losses in the forests are foretold. Physicians and nurses now are under direction of the stars pre- saging great activity. Surgeons are to be in great demand for for eign service.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of some perplexity. Women should beware of financial muddleS. Children born on. this day may be serious of mind and frail of body Subjects of this sign may be exceedingly sensitive.

ALASKA WELCOMES VISITING
 CHAMBERS

Again Aaskans have the pleasure to welcome visiting Chamber of Commerce delegations on their pigrmages of good will to the north A large se- attle group is arriving in the morning aboard the Aleutian while the party from the Los Angeles Chamber is aboard the Prince Robert which probably will get in here Wednesday, according to present schedule
 Alaska is happy to greet these reighbors from the south particularly glad to welcome those from Pacific Coast cities for the bond between Alaska and the three States is naturally closer Our problems are mutual problems; the welfare of one rests the welfare of the other.
 With faster transportation and communication we are becoming closely linked than ever before It is no longer novelty to step aboard plane and nine hours be in Seattle and if we want to go on down the coast by fast established commercial air line we can be in Los Angeles in a few more hours As matter of record, one Territorial official made a round trip buying aunt down to Seattle and Cali fornia points approximately week last year where but few short years ago he would have needed a month at least to attend to such business
 Improved steamer service coupled with fast aera transportation facilities virtually have made Alaska and the Pacific Coast great section of the United States Thus it is natural that We look upon these visitors from Seattle and Los Angeles as our neghbors
 And while we welcome them and trust their stay in the Territory will be enjoyable one we can wt modest pride give them a few salient facts:
 Alaska produced than twenty three and a half million dollars in mineral wealth last year some eighteen million dollars in gold for which Alaska is justly famous. We packed in excess of eight million cases of salmon last year and vast amount of fur was exported, some of mink and fox bringing premium prices the London market.
 If you want to get around the Territory rapidly there are eighty commercial air lines at your service, operating to every spot on the Alaska map from Point Barrow to Dixon Entrance. Work IS starting this a big airfeld road ana uali development program. Virtually million dollars IS earmarked to go into this work Communication systems are being improved and expect before long to have telephone connections with the States through big project being undertaken by the Amerl- can Telephone and Telegraph Company
 Despite what you may have heard about the Mata- nuska project and who hasn't. it is making progress and is assured of success. We may not reach the agricultural pinnacle that you enjoy but ultimately we will be able to support great many more people who will produce a great deal more Alaska wealth to pour into the lap of the world through Pacific Coast cities
 Welcome to Alaska. May you enjoy your stay with us your homes to continue the fine support you have given the Alaska program of de- velopment in the past
