Bowling in Capital
Has Had Biggest
OF Seasons

AS the biggest bowling season In
history moves to a finish the para
mount topic is national ratings, and
it's hotter here than in any other
city, for Washington is in fair way
of turning up the No. l rankers
among both men and women.
Due to a remarkable Splurge in
the last several weeks of the cam
paign, Astor Clarke stands to gain
for fourth time the top spot in
the mems ratings of the National
Duckpin Bowling Congress. He is
the only man to wear the crown
three years.
At time when it was thought
her bowling star had set, Lorraine
GULL came through with the best
season in long and illustrious ca
reer and now is conceded a strong
chance of dethroning the great Ida
Simmons of Norfolk, Va. 1t would
be a sweet triumph, indeed, for Miss
GULL, who for six years stood alone
among the Nations skirted duck
pinners, even as Helen Wills once
ruled the tennis players, and was

pulled from her perch by Miss Sim
mons in 1884.
With month to go, Clarke ap-
parently was out of the national
race. In general average he was
ninth on the Congress list, but with
the crown slipping from his brow
Astor suddo.as!yy- turned on the heat
as it never before had heen applied
by Washington bowler. One big
score after another went up beside
his name until at length he boasted
half a dozen records. Chief among
these was the all-time high average
of the all-star District League, 1913,
rolled with the Marlboro Hotel
team.
Clarke's principal rivals as George
1semann, Congress secretary, goes
about his compilations, are Joe Har-
rison of Washington, Jack White
and Mike Bogino of Connecticut and
Nova Hamilton and Winfield Guerke
of Baltimore. 1t is thought he has
an edge on all.
The scrap between the pretty and

material is appropriate for these
dresses and crease resistant or non
crushable fabrics are the best
choice. Short sleeves are made for
comfort and won't get in your way.
There are many other distractions
that can be avoided, too Steer
clear of flowing sashes, ties or
dangling jewelry and don't wear
anything too ornate
Miss Quaites believes that shorts
and slacks are definitely out of
place in bowling alley, and halters
are taboo. She approves of culottes
with simple shirts, or culotte dresses,
provided that they are we'll tailored.
Chief aversion, she confided, are
shirt-tails Tapping in the breeze.
This goes for men as well as wom-
en-. for nothing is so unattractive
as the limp end of a blouse or shirt
dangling about the hips. Expert
enced bowlers know these things"
Miss Quaites explained, but the
girls who are just starting should
be told what to wear if they intend
to be expert at the sport" All of
which proves that sport styles can
be just as comfortable and attrac-
tive as you make them.

Special Shoe
Needed for
Bowling
Feminine Expert
Discusses Right
Garb for Sport

A sense of humor and an outside
interest are two things really COM
pulsory to business people in this
streamlined age, provided they want
to go on being normal, happy indi-
vidualS. Fortunately Miss Bronson
Quaites possesses both. She is a
charming, vivacious person and, in
addition, first woman president of
the National Duckpin Bowling Con-
gress and organizer of the first girls
bowling team.
Miss Quaites is enthusiastic about
her chosen sport, and equally happy
about the clothes to wear for it,
Her ideas on what to wear show
that she is completely cognizant of
the need for appropriate and yet at
tractive fashions in any sport
Most important she explained,
"is the bowling shoe. This is spe-
cial type, just as is the golf shoe. 1t
has low heels, special composition
sole and tip on the toe to slide or
stop you from sliding when the oc-
casion demands it. High heels
SIlOulu never De worn because you
cannot get proper balance, and peo-
pie who wear rubber heels ruin the
alley for those who follow them
AS general rule, one-piece
dresses are the best choice. There
should be freedom through the
shoulders and hips. for clothes that
are too tight through the hips look
ugly, restrict the bowler and often
split in the seams. TWo-piece
dresses are acceptable for those who
look well in them, but they have
dlsconcerting habit of pulling apart.
and no devotee of the sport wants to
keep pulling at her blouse any more
than she wants it to hang outside
her skirt. ANY good, soft, cool sports

popular Misses Simmons and GULL
is close, with the Norfolk blond, it
is believed, holding a margin. Both
have averaged better than 1l8 in
league play and around 100 in tour
naments, figures that would place
them among the elite even in the
male realm.
No matter which prevails, bowling
is assured of truly regal queen for

and colors are others. For cool com.
fort, the mesh shoe Is a fine choice.
Designed in oxford style, It provides
good support to instep and ankle.
Wear mesh with your spring prints
and summer cottons, and in oxford
styles with your tailored suits and
sports things.

the next season. Each possessed OF
more than ordinary pulchritude,
with excellent taste in clothes, a
strong competitive spirit, and color
full, likeable personality, either Miss
GULL or Miss Simmons would be
widely acceptable to both sexes as
a ruler.
Lorraine and Ida may be tops on
the mapleWays, but actual boss of

the game is Miss Bronson Quaites
of Washington. This season she be-
came the first woman president of
the National Duckpin Bowling Con-
gress. And Miss Quaites, distinc-
tive blond, loses nothirS in COM
parison with the MisseS GULL and
Simmons, except in the matter of
socking the headpin.

Mesh Is Popular

The use of mesh in shoes has
grown by leaps and bounds, and
the mesh shoe for spring and sum-
mer is available in all types and
price lines. Glazed mesh resembling
patent leather is one of the favorites.

The National Guard
lKetchikan Chroniclel

(Ketchikan Chronicle)
 good many communications have already gone to the Legislature endorsing proposed memorial asking establishment of national guard for Alaska However there have been some objections Some people seem to think the National Guard is creature of capitalism which would go about beating up inno- cent people like Germany's storm troopers. These people have been reading overdose of radical tera- ture
 In dictator countries, it is true, the who controls the army controls the nation But if we fear to establish National Guard because it would tend to give dctatoria power to the at its head then of course our logical course would be not alone to op pose the National Guard but to advocate disbandng our army and navy and police forces, because they are disciplined groups working for government as exemplified by those at the head of government.
 1t is true, of course. that armed forces whether the army the the militia or the police could be against the best interests of the people But not for long. Not for long. that is under our form of government. If have faith in form of government. if uphold it. and defend it. then it is ours and it cannot be used against
 There undoubtedly are arguments against Alaska s need for Q small National Guard. But the argument that it would turn against simply doesn't hold water The national guard like the police is in of crime unless believe our rulers in reality
 itlers in disguise unless secretly plan to over throw the council and set up princpality of own, then should have nothing to fear from National Guard It is thing to oppose establishment of National Guard in Alaska it is another thing to fear the consequence of its establishment

pleasure He eats drinks, reads writes and photographs more than he does at home and he has to have haircus clean shirts and razor blades just often.
 The steamship companies and curio stores, too, which as well as the hotels and air lines would bene- fit heavily, do a large part of their spending in the Territory for help and for supplies This all builds prosperity.
 Look at another side of the matter. The people who would come to Alaska and who do come to Alaska in increasing numbers in spite of us, often are the owners or directors of the very capital which we are always insisting is the sole hope of the Territory Let us have these people come here to spend little time with us as our payng) guests Let's welcome them and help them see our great country They will be the people who will develop Alaska. We 3000O whites and 30O00 natives will never do it alone.
 People from the outside are astonished at Alas sans colness toward the tourist industry. They are astonshed because they have seen the scramble for tourists which has been going on in the Nation for the past ten years, period during which America has been through a great depression. There has been no depression in the tourist business Right now it is booming as before. This two cities on opposite sides of the country holding great fairs 10 attract visitors The of these enterprises will be tremendous But the returfs will be immeasuraby greater
 Most of the people outside realize that. How soon will Alaskans do so?

Rip Wakes Up
lNew York Times


 Colonel Knox of Chicago has learned something since he was candidate for Vice President. The Mid-Western farmers sick of protection. They have been, for than six years If the farmers dollar is to buy much that of the city the Colonel says:
 We must forthwith abandon the present system of excessively high tariffs and go back to moderate tariff domestic manufactures, only sufficient to protect American wage standards, and nothing else
 We wonder if those Republicans who share Colonel Knoz's views in this matter have heard of the Reciprocal Trade Act of 1884 By that measure the United States admits that foreign markets for Ameri products be had by regulating the admission of foreign goods into the United States. You can't sell unless you buy The day of the autonomous tariff is over Reciprocal trade agreements take the place of the old one-coumn arrangement Under these agreements gradually the high tariff rates being 'nbbled' down The average Republican politician attacks these agreements in spite of the fact that tariff barriers need more lowering than they are likely soon to get.
 Rip Van Wrinkle snores and dreams. He is back in the days when steep protection infallibe Re- publican talsman and palladium. The mere people have got more sense survey of public opinion the other day showed a Republican majority in favor of the trade agreements Ii the Republicans not living in the past they would howl loud and long for tariff that would revive our foreign trade Let us see what answer they make to Colonel Knox's decar ation.

cHoroscobe T he stars incline
 but do not compel"
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY l, ls3'

According to astrology this is an suspicious date for pushing business affairs, particularly in connection with luxuries such as works of art jewels and costly clothing. Under this planetary government women will be inclined to extravagance
 High nervous tension is indicated among leaders in the world of com mefce and politics. While promise of prosperity appears to be realized there will be apprehension regarding world affairs.
 Women will be less concerned than men with international portentS and will initiate new efforts for im- provement of living conditions among the poor and for the gen eral welfare of Americans.
 Grave differences of opinion will mark all associations in which eco homie problems are discussed. The planetary influences will be strong in Congress where much talk will precede lawmaking.
 Leaders should benefit at this time when the need of wise direc- ton will be widely recognized. The rule of the stars favors business heads as well as government off cials.
 Increase in the cost of living will be marked as the month advances. Foods will be more costly and rem tals high in cities
 Persons interested in horse races are advised that favorites are most lucky on the ninth and fourteenth 'of the month, while outsiders have better chances on the fourth and sixth.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of good for tune, but they should be on guard against deception and fraud The young will be extremely susceptible
 Children born on this day may be restless and strongly individual They are subjects of Aquarius and have Saturn and Uranus as their ruling signs.

tuberculosis Described
As Killer and Healer

The germ of tuberculosis was de.
scribed yesterday by DR.. William
Charles White as ''Dr. Jekyll and
Mr.. Hyde" Of the medical world
a killer in one role, q life-saver In
another. r
DR.. White, chairman Of the Med
ical Research Committee of the Ma
tional tuberculosis Association and
former president of the District
tuberculosis Association, explained
that from the germ science has
obtained form of vitamin K, the
anti-hemorrhagic vitamin which
prevents or checks fatal bleeding
in obstructive jaundice.
There is possibility that 1t also
may be used to prevent bleeding In
surgery" DR.. White said.
1T is surprising that good may
come from tuberculosis by the dis
covery that the yellow crystals
which give the tuberculosis germ
its color are form of vitamin K.
It is thought that this discovery
completes the vitamin K problem,
and that phthiocol is probably the
simplest member Of an homologous
series Of anti-hemorrhagic SUBJ
stances"
Phthiocol was first extracted from
the tuberculosis germ and even made
synthetically by Prof. r. J. Ander-
son Of Yale under grant from the
National tuberculosis Association.
