A meeting has been called for tonight at 8 pm at the Nome Public School by the Ski Club, which is sponsored by the Nome Sports Association.
 All persons interested in skiing are requested to attend.
 The purpose of the meeting is to decide whether a ski trip is to be made next Sunday and if so. the destination and route of the trip.
 There are in Nome at this time some ski trophies donated by the Alaska Canned Salmon Associa- tion to further interest in skiing. The cups were donated last year but due to the lack of snow no action was taken toward their disposal. There is no lack of snow and ski courses this year and We suggest that now is the time for all good men to put on their skis.

Runtdnia Is Younger
Than United States

Rumania, modern battle-ground OF
Old world tradesmen, is one of Eu-
ropes newer nations. Younger than
the United States, having been
formed in 1859 by the union of the
two principalities of Walachia and
Moldavia, Rumania gained more
than half of her present area and
population after the World war.
Roughly oval-shaped and about
the size of Arizona, she is ringed
about by six nations, stretching in
counter-clockwise order from the
Soviet Ukraine on the northeast to
Poland, former Czecho-Slovakia,
Hungary, Yugoslavia, and Bulgaria
on the south. The eastern frontier
faces the Black sea. Rumania has
a population of more than $4,000 900
inhabitants, of whom about one
fourth are Hungarians, Germans,
Russians, Turks, Bulgars, Gypsies,
or Jews. Hungarians make up a
large minority, with an estimated
million and a half. There are some
750, 900 Germans.
Chiefly an agricultural nation con-
tanning valuable resources of oil,
timber and grain-producing land,
Rumania IN recent years has been
expanding her industrial life.

turbed her.
She said to Tope one evening:
''Tve been-asking about her, here
and there. You know Lissa Thayer.
I've spoken to you about her"
"f know her, yes," Tope assented.
''Lissa and I have become almost
friends Miss Moss explained. She
knows about Clint and June. He
often leaves his car there when he
goes IN to the cabin. And Asa and
Rab buy gas there for their car.
She says Rab is-unpleasantly ia

Asa, but I think she knows him rath-

Tope reminded her: "Asa went to
see her, the morning after Mrs. Lea

In the woods, and you saw him down
there"
''I remember" Miss Moss agreed.

I had as much as could stand al
ready. Let's go to bed"
Hours later, however, something
disturbed Miss Moss. Her eyes
opened and she lay listening. In
spector Tope here in the bed beside
her was sleeping. Then she heard
again the sound which had reused
her moment ago.
1t was the doorbell, ringing in a
long peal, shrill and imperious.
In swift haste she snapped on
the shaded light beside her bed and
found dressing-gown and slippers.
Then the doorben rang again, and
Inspector Tope woke and asked:
whats the matter?"
Someone at the door," she said
softly. She went out along the hall
to the hving-room, and heard the
Inspector bestir himself behind her,
but she did not wait for him. She
came to the front door and opened
it; and she uttered a low ejacula-
ton of surprise and of dismay.
For Clint stood there, with girl
in the circle of his arm; and they
were both smoke-begrimed, their
faces sooted and dirty and streaked
with water. Also, Clint's forehead

sheer dress which viii be found ever
so practical for summer wear, Is an
interesting conventionally patterned
two-tone lace as pictured to the left
In the group. Bruyere designed this
dress which has grosgrain ribbon
belt and two ribbon bows on the
shoulder.

foreground to the right. Vera Borea

cate but firm lace that delineates
big fiorals with sheer mesh between
The ruff1es around the neckline and
on the sleeves are indicative OF Par
is trends. In this dress Of horizon
blue lace the ruff1es lend be-
guiling feminine note with no sug-
gestion of fussiness. For summer
afternoon wear and informal eve
nings, there is wide favor expressed
for pastel laces.
An interesting feature Of sheer
afternoon lace frocks is that many
are worn over costume slips In con-
trasting color. Dark Iaces, very
sheer, are also worn over light foun-
dation slips. The monotone effect
that demands a matching color for
the slip is equally good style.
The model in the center shows an
evening dress designed by Molly
neaux. It demonstrates how pleas
ingly sheer lace yields to pleated
treatments. The straight-ftted
sheath skirt is finely pleated, and
the dramatic balloon sleeves are
likewise pleated. The deep square
decolletage is noteworthy.

Patagonia-a ittle-known region
with a familiar name-came into
the international picture recently, as
Argentina reported the investigation
of an alleged German plot to annex
this South American territory.
Long contested between Chile and
Argentina, the so-called Patagonian
area, constituting the tail of the
continent, was finally divided be-
tween the two countries In 1881, its
permanent boundaries set IN 1902.
The Argentine section, lying roughly
east of the Andes and south of the
great central plains, now includes
the three continental territories of
Rio Negro, Chubut, and Santa Cruz.
Name Means Big Feet.
Occupying some 259, 900 square
miles, or about one-quarter of all
Argentina, this region is almost as
large as Texas. Its name, trans
lated Land of the Big Feet" was
first given it, according to some au-
thorities, by early explorers, amazed
at the size of footprints found there.
Patagonia, as the home Of giant
native race, however, has been con-
siderably overrated, say modern ex-
plorers.
Largely plateau land of high
winds and little rain, Patagonia sup
ports, on the whole, sparse natural
vegetation and few people. Its very
name has come to be associated
with the distant, untraveled ends of
the earth.
On the other hand, irrigation, par
ticularly IN the northern sections,
The Ely miner., 1939-05-25
Patagonia, Argentine Territory,
Named Land of the BIG Feet

has transformed much of the once
desert area into blooming comrnu-
mites, producing fruits and grains.
Families have settled in recent
years all along the banks of the Rio
Negro, near the northern boundary
of the territory of the same name.
In the scenic west of lakes and
mountains, toward the Chilean boun-
dary, tourist trade is being deveI-
oped, aided by the government re-
ported program for new rail COM
munications, hotels, and improved
facilities for fishing and other sports.
Along the east coast, air service
already links the southern extremity
OF the continent with Argentina's 8
capital Of Buenos Aires, thence
branching out into a network Of
lines stretching west, north and east.
Sheep Raising Chief Occupation.
Patagonia is rich in natural re-
sources of timber and OIL One oil
field, In Chubut, is reported to yield
more than 80 per cent of Argentina 3
total production.
Sheep raising, the chief occupation
of the region, accounts for large
proportion of the country's exporta-
bic supply of wool, sent largely to
England, France, and Germany. Al
though in certain sections of the
plains the constant wind-blown dust
makes for dirty, dry and rough
fleece, Patagonia's vast focks in
general contribute to the world mar
ket some of South Americas best
quality product
Yet despite the potential wealth Of
a still undeveloped region in a
world of vanishing frontiers, Pata-
gonia is thinly peopled, especially
IN the southernmost territory of Sam
ia Cruz. The entire population is
estimated to be only about 80, 900
people in an area of more than three
times as many square miles. OF
these, according to an old census,
less than 1000 were Germans; about
$500 were Italians.
A new census, however, now being
taken by Argentina, may change
these figures considerably. For
many new settlers, especially Ital-
ians, have recently added to the in
ternational color of immigrant Life
IN this part of the world.
Even In remote Patagonia, the
wide open spaces are disappear
ing, as sheep ranchers fence in their
big estates and "squatters" move
IN on government lands.

Pleated Skirt i'm
Summer Fabrics

Skirts and blouses are usually on
the wane by the time really warm
weather sets IN and the hghtweight
suit usually is the only opportunity
for continuing this casual style. But
not so this year, at least If the prom
inence of spun rayon, linen and cot
ton skirts are any indication
The pleated all-round skirt is es-
pecially good in summer fabrics,
which may account for the increased
popularity, and not only the skirt
departments but the blouse and
summer sweater departments are
preparing for much activity.
The practically of the skirt and
blouse or sweater is undeniable. L
is easy to have number of changes
at little outlay and there is less ne
cessity of laundering than with a
number of one-piece frocks.

DEHIND Swiss border
- troops, which recently
modified for possible emer-
gency, is one of the worlds
oldest republics. In 1891, the
first three Of Switzerland's
cantons Cor states) joined in a de-
fensive league against the house Of
Hapsburg. "In view of the NAL
ice of the time" they swore to
have no ruler other than their own
and to maintain their independence
by their own armed strength. Later
other provinces were added, until
today the nation is made up of q
largely autonomous cantons, united
under a confederation whose capital
IS at Bern.
Of Switzerland's population,
amounting to something over four
millions, more than 70 per cent
speak German, about % per cent
speak French, and the rest Italian
and other tongues. The official Ian
guages are these three, plus Ro-
mansch, Latin derivative added
last year as a fourth.
State Small but Important.
Surrounded by Germany, former
Austria, France, Italy, and the little
principaIity of Liechtenstein, Switz-
erIand has a geographic position
that is at once an asset and habil-
ity. Traditionally a buffer state, she
is also an important trade link be-
tween powerful neighbors. Though
she has no seaboard Of her own
(either to defend or to use), she con-
trolls mountain passes over which
rides the commerce of some of the
most populous regions of south and
central Europe. Nearly half of her
domestic imports in 1888 came from
neighboring countries; some "a per
cent of her exports were sold in
nearby markets.
A mountainous country, with much
mproductive land and few natural
resources, Switzerland imports
quantities of food as well as raw
materials that keep her factories
humming. With rather dense pop
Ulation IN an area less than half
the size of Indiana, she has become
a highly industrialized nation. Only
about one quarter of her working
people are engaged in agriculture.
Another 6 to 8 per cent are occu-
pied In the tourist business; while

Feminine Frills
On Shirtwaists

Sportswear is not being neglected,
even among the frills and ruffles OF
the majority of feminine clothes,
and the shirtwaist is making a con-
spicuous appearance, changed IN
some cases by the addition Of pleat-
ed and gathered fuIlness, but still
basically the same.
In some instances this style IS
seen with additional color contrasts,
among them one shirtwaist dress
with rose top and navy skirt, an
other with pink and white striped
top and pink shirt, and others solid
pastel shirtwaist frocks with con-
trasting bright cummerbunds
around the waist.

pIoyed by industries, many of which

Make Quality Products.
Because Of domestic lack of raw
materials and fuel, and the high
cost of transport, Switzerland has
specialized in quality products. Such
articles as Swiss watches, choco-
late, cheese, embroideries, and toys
are known around the world. For
in addition to Europe, Switzerland
has valuable commercial relations
with the United States, South Amer
lea, and the Far East.
Germany continues to hold the
No. l position in Swiss trade, both
as customer and vender, although
in 1888 purchases of German goods
declined considerably. Soviet Rus
sia was the only important trader
who sold more to Switzerland last
year than during 1887.
With high average income and
standard of living, Switzerland is
one of Europe's richest countries.
Her gold reserve is estimated to

000, 900.
Millions for Defense.
From now on, however, much
more of the national income will be
diverted to military preparedness,
according to recent news dispatches
from the Swiss capital. One report
sets proposed expenditures for de-
tense and public works at more than
$240, ,000, 600.
Perpetual neutrality was guaran-
teed Switzerland in 1915 at the Con-
gress of Vienna by Prussia, Austria,
France, Great Britain, Portugal,
Spain, Sweden, and Russia; but the
Swiss army was maintained on
war basis all during the World war.
For defense Switzerland has re-
lied for centuries on national mi
litia, based on compulsory univer-
sal service. It has been estimated
that Switzerland today could raise
an army of nearly 800, 900 men be-
tween the ages of 20 and 48.

nOIQ LnG SpOLu8nL curing the
coming months. Which brings us at
once to the theme of this story-lace,
lovely lace! With the new styles 60
ing in so enthusiastically for feni-
nine prettiness in hat, gown and ac-
cessories, the logical answer needs
must be lace, as has been the an
swer throughout the centuries of
fashions that have gone before.
With the craze for lace trims on
hats, for billowy masses of lace at
throat and at wrist, with the return
of the ''baby waist that is exquis-
itely sheer and entrancingly lace
trimmed, with tailored laces for
daytime wear, with sheer pleated
laces for dress-up wear, with pic
turesque period frocks enchantingly
detailed in lace, with lace playing a
star role in boudoir fashions, with
accessories even to gloves and bags
and boutonnieres of lace, the cur
rent message of lace has become
too vast, too all-inclusive for words.
You just have to let the bigness of
the lace theme grow upon you as the
pageantry of present and coming
modes pass in review.
The important thing to say about
modern laces is that they are so
versatile in character that there's a
lace for every occasion no matter
what the challenge may be. For
that matter it is not an exaggera-
ton to say that an entire wardrobe
could be planned of lace. There are
fabriclike laces for tailored use,
stunning 1aces for afternoon frocks,
laces of grand dame elegance for
formal evening wear, sheer laces OF
cobweb mesh that pleat up beauti-
fully, two-way stretch laces for bath
ing suits and so on and so on without
end.
The responsiveness of lace to ev-
cry mood of fashion accounts for
the fact that designers are acquir-
ing the lace habit with an increasing
enthusiasm as the possibilities re-
veal the growing tendency of lace
producers to supply a type for every
need.
