NEW ROUTING IS PROPOSED,
 ALASKA R. R.
Would Build Line to Port. age Bay, Eliminating
 City of Seward
Anchorage Iimes)

Col. O. F. Ohlson, general man. aeer of the Alaska Railroad, is scheduled to go to Seward tomor- row to board the Coast Guard cut ter Spencer for trip to Portage Bay on Prince William Sound in connection with survey of new route for the railroad south of Anchorage
 While Colonel Ohlson declined to discuss the survey or the proposal to abandon the south end of the railroad to Seward he did say a survey was being made. There is nothing definite in the plan at yet, he said.
 Construction of a new route for the railroad to salt water on Prince William Sound, would cost in the vicinity of $10O00,000 It is believed that the Interior Department is making plans to request a Con- gressional appropriation to finance the project.
 Two Hours of Coast
 If the new route is established it would bring Anchorage within two hours of the coast. The new route would cut off the present right-of- way at about mile 63 and would run only 12 or IA miles to Portage Bay.
 Such a change in the railroad route would leave Seward without a railroad connection.
 Various arguments in favor of the line change have been ad- vanced.
 The new route would enable the railroad to abandon the most costly portion of the entire right-of way from Seward to Fairbanks, and would replace it with a short haul without appreciable grade.
 This would, authorities have said, cut the operating costs of the rail- road sufficiently to warrant a gen. eral slash in freight rates.
 It is believed in some quarters that the new route to Portage Bay would place the railroad in a posi- tion to compete with boats operat- ing on Cook Inlet in hauling freight to Anchorage and Goose Bay.
 New Steamer Routing
 Steamers would also probably be operated direct to Portage Bay from Juneau, going to Cordova and Val deg after discharging rail belt freight. With the combination of speed and lower rates, the railroad might be able to overcome com petition of trucks operating on the Richardson Highway.
 Besides altering the freight rate setup on the railroad, the line change would decrease the time required for tourist travel to in- terior Alaska from the States. It has been said that the steamers could cut two days off it's running time to Portage Bay and that the railroad could speed the tourists over the route to Mckinley Park
 Cutting Travel Time
 The need of cutting travel time to and from interior Alaska and the States, has been cited by var ious government officials for some time.
 The route for the railroad through the pass to Portage Bay has been considered for long period. When the railroad was first built surveys were made of the pass and com plete data is already available.
 One long tunnel would be neces- sary. It would be l3,005 feet long. Another tunnel would be 4,600 feet long. With m o dern tunneling equipment. it has been said that the tracks coulf be laid within

DOES COLD CAUSE FACIAL
 PAISY3

Goosefiesh, chilblains and frostbite are, to date, the only ailments defi- nitely due to cold.
 In stating this fact I do not mean to imply that cold may not be a con- tributing or an aggravating factor of numerous other ailments-bellyache, for example, and reasoning purely from analogy should think one with almost any ache would be more comfortable If he keeps nice and warm. And for that matter, have plenty to argue about without ques- tioning the common belief that a victim of chronic rheumatiZ, what ever ails him, suffers less in mild warm climate or in summer than in a cold climate or in winter. At the same time, without uttering one word in the presence of MT. or Mrs. Wiseacre, I reserve my conviction that neither the climate nor the weather nor the amount of clothing the victim wears nor the degree Of artificial warmth he maintains in the atmosphere in which he lives has a thing to do with the etiology of his ailment.
 From way back the great doctors, authorities, specialists and all have pronounced" facial palsy to be due to exposure of the face to cold. For example, when the patient wakes one morning and finds he can't whistle. frown, wink or even smile as the trouble most often mani fests itself-it is comparatively easy for the learned doctor to shake his head and inform the patient that he or she evidently slept in draft last night, caught cold in the facial nerve and consequently has facial neuritis. In pathology, however, such an hypothesis cannot satisfactorily account for inflammation of a nerve but learned doctors sounding off in the consulting -rooms or in the sick-room do not bother much about pathology. As long as the patient is impressed, that's all that matters isn't it?
 The facial nerve emerges from its origin in the brain through a chan mel in the skull bone just behind the ear. The nerve is frequently involved in chronic middle ear inflammation, and this accounts for many in- stances of facial palsy ascribed tc "cold" or exposure to cold draft on the face.
 Sciatica is inflammation of the great sciatic nerve, the largest nerve in the body, half as thick and wide as your thumb. In many cases sci atica is found to be caused by pres- sure upon the sciatic nerve trunk back of the hip, from subluxatior of the sacro-iliac junction. Partial dislocation, relaxation, slipped in- nominate as the osteopaths call it. the oSteopaths recognized these moi uncommon sacro lilac sprains strains or relaxations long before wt regulars did, and in my opinion ar osteopath is the right one to consult when you have sciatica, lumbago ol aany similar disability. In as many cases sciatica is a neuritis of infec. tive character, usually focal infection due to bacteria or their toxins iron some long neglected septic focu elsewhere in the body.
 Obviously no specific remedy fo sciatica can be indicated. In eacl cease the dia0nosis and treatment ar,

ting to bed. Not without supper, but with meal lacking in fancy embellishments. Bed itself can be a Roman holiday, you know, If all the toys in the house are piled on the spread, and ice-cream or lolly- pops dispensed to salve our con- science. Bed should be a place to mediate in, and a means of per- suasion toward improved conduct.
 Be ImpersOnaI
 There never should be anything mean or spiteful in our punishing. The child is quick to sense 1t. Half the time 1t is not punishment that leaves a mental scar, but the par ent's own temper.
 No child should ever be hit about the head or body anywhere, but surely don't need to mention that there is just one place to spank. Just as cruel, Is threatening him with bogies, with dark closets, or sending him away.
 No punishment is real cure. It prevents, temporarily, that is all. The real cure lies in Investigating causes and doing what we can to make things better. The child must learn that wilful misdeeds cost a price, therefore the principle of punishment is conceded in child training; but 1t must be done wisely and consistently. .. NEXT: Non -cOnfOrmists.

STYLE CHATS

Paris CUP)-Alix's current collec- ton features profuse yardage. Front and back fullness is exaggerated and coats, both long and short, flare from the fitted yokes like ballet skirts.
 One of the most popular models from this house is a white silk chiffon gown, with a voluminously full skirt. A gath cred panel of colorful plaid taf- feta runs from one hip down to the edge of the gown in back to form a small train, and up again to the starting point. Another pop ular model also is a full-skirted gown of black chiffon over white. The skirt is decorated with velvet bows, each in different color.
 With coat-dress ensemble, Alix pleats extreme fulness into the back, while the gathered fulness of the front peers through the coat open ing. She is fond of fullness over the bust and often gathers 1t to terminate in a bow under the chin. She uses a very gathered tunic which is bound in at the waist Skirts have never been wider than
