Ex-Wrangell Teacher
 Figures In Heroic
 Rescue On Mountain

As the heroine in what just es- caped being a moutain tragedy Miss Faye Plank, former Wrangell School teacher and now librarian at Bre- merton, covered herself with glory and won the undying thanks of the companion she helped save from a terrifying death on the precipitous slopes of Mount Shuksan, near Mt. Baker, last Sunday and Monday.
 Miss Plank, with Miss Anne Ce- darquist and H. Karl Boyer, 28, a Seattle postman, made the attempt last Sunday to scale the steep face of Mount Shuksan. Within one thousand feet of the summit, Miss Cedarquist slipped and plunged nearly one hundred feet down into the nothingness of space below. Luckily, roped to Boyer, she dangel- ed there high above glacier in the valley below.
 Boyer, to whose cool-headedness and courage the unfortunate girl al- so owes her life, slowly paved out the rope, lowering Miss Cedarquist to a narrow ledge just below her, then, securing the rope around a point of outcropping rock, he set Miss Plank to hold it secure and climbed down the steep slope to where Miss Cedarquist lay and made sure she was as safe as possible while he hurried down the mountain to the nearet telephone to summon aid from Seattle.
 All night long and most of Mon- day morning, Miss Plank sat above her companion guarding the rope on which her eompanion'a life depend. ed TaRtnres hy fatigue and slasRk

ness, freezing wind cutting through her light clothing the long night vigil was a nightmare the former Wrangell school teacher will not soon forget. She dared not even change her position lest the rope slip but sat crouehed on six inches of ledge, the rope end damned into crack in the rock and her heels held firmly against 1t. Sunday af- ternoon dragged into Sunday night, Sunday night turned into Monday morning and it was not until almost noon Monday that the rescuers from Seattle finally got to the scene.
 "I could hear Anne down below" Miss Plank said in an interview with Seattle Times reporter, Paul O'Neil. 'At first she was just moan ing. But when it got dark she began calling to me. couldn't understand what she was saying, because of the curve in the cliff, I guess, although she apparently could understand me. She said today she was asking me to keep awake. I called back to her. Night lasted a long time, but the early morning was the worst. After the sun came up a cold wind began to blow"
 Miss Cedarquist is in a Belling- ham hospital suffering several frac- tured ribs, a punctured lung and fractured shoulder blade. Both she and Miss Plank's faces are swollen and their lips cracked by exposure.
 Miss Plank is well known in Wrangell and has many friends here She taught English at Wrangell High School for two years about ten years ago. She visited hare briefly Iaaa slsasHasg.

 On Lake Erie
By- Associated Pressl

CLEVELAND, Aug. 16-The body of Ms. Ben Mozee. wife of a widely known Alaskan of Nome and Mar shal of the Second Division, was identified this week after having been found floating in Lake Erie two weeks ago.
 Mrs. Mozee disappeared from a Lakes cruise ship. the 0 & B of the Cleveland and Buffalo Transit Go. She embarked in Buffalo on July 29. Her disappearance was not noted until the ship docked at Cleveland as her stateroom and belongings were in order throughout the voy- age. But when the ship docked here and the maid discovered her cloth ing and baggage were not removed, the maid reported 1t and her disappearance was noted. AuthOri- ties and Federal Bureau of InYesti- gation agents are working on the theory that Mrs. MOzee was robbed and slain as it was known she car ried a substantial amount of money and wore three large diamond rings of considerable value, none of which were on her body when found or could be found among her belong ings in her stateroom.
 Frank Elliott of Cleveland. a brother, identified Mrs. Mozee's body. She bore several bruise marks that officials said were probably re- ceiYed before she entered the water Elliott said Mrs. Mozee was enroute to Brookfield Center, Connecticut, to visit relatives.
 Marshal Mozee flew from Nome last Sunday to Seattle with prison CTS from the Second Division and was informed Wednesday on his re- turn from a trip to Portland, Ore gon, to Seattle of his wife's death. He secuted any suicide theory. He left for the east immediately.
 Besides her husband, Mrs. Mozee is survived by a daughter, Miss Eloise MOzee, a clerk in a Seattle womens club; a son, Elliott, of Nome; the brother in Cleveland and two brothers and two sisters in Se- atSle. She was buried in Ashtabula county, Ohio.

You can read, comb your hair, dial
the telephone-but you'll have to
hold a pencil to do this-and ac-
complish all sorts of small tasks that
heretofore would have meant the
complete ruination of beautiful
new manicure.
You know, this is one of the best
ideas We know of, for almost all
polishes require good 80 minutes
to become completely dry, and by
that we mean to harden underneath
as we'll as on the surface. Since no
woman likes to sit around for half
an hour with her hands held help
lessly out before her, this is bound
to be lifesaver, and should be the
means of encouraging more mani
cures and consequently better
groomed hands and nails. Not ex-
pensive, either.
And here's more news about the
care of hands and nails :. There's
a very new product on the market
which is designed to repair broken
nails It's colorless liquid which
is applied and allowed to harden
before polish is put on, and which
is said to preserve split or partially
broken nail. Simply remove old
polish, " Nsh the nail with soap and
water anu be sure it is thoroughly
dry. Then apply the new product
over the split or tear and put small
piece of cleansing tissue over the
break This will absorb the liquid
and give added strength. If the tip
is completely broken off carry the
tissue over the edge and under the
broken tip. When dry apply another
coat of the liquid and when it
hardens smooth any unevenness with
an emery board before applying
polish. Simple? 1t certainly is, and
it should be boon for the common
ailment known as "fingernail-split-
it's" which is rampant around this
time of year.

Suggestions
For Sons :
Dance
Parents Should Act
In the Capacity of
Guests, Not Hosts
By EMILY POST.

InlS Is perhaps gOOQ QueSClOn
for discussion. Is the fashion of al
lowing a boy or girl of IA to send
out invitations alone in best taste or
is it one Of the unwise accents on
the Importance Of youth? There is
much to be said against catering to
youths selflshness. On the other
side there is much to be said for the
training in social knowledge which
actual responsibility alone gives.
A letter from the mother of boy
of Is fits into this discussion: "Is
a tea dance too feminine to give for
boy? He wants to receive his
guests alone. This sounds strange
to me-even improper, since the
girls will come without chaperons.
He and I have both agreed to do
what you advise. And will you tell
me what type of invitations to send
and the Wording?"
agree that a tea does rather sug-
gest a party for a girl. But in any
case think it would be much nicer
to call it small dance" and give
it in the early evening. Prepara-
tions would be essentially the same.
That is, you would have to have
music to dance to and simple re-
freshments for one party as well as
for the other.
He is right about receiving alone.
You and his father should, of course,
be present. but in the capacity Of
| guests rather than as host and
hostess. On the other hand, it is
proper Gas an assurance to the
mothers of the girls) that you and
he together send out the invitations.
But it is considered correct to send
the invitations in either of two
ways Under the engraved Mrs.
Henry Brown Green on your visiting
card, YOU write "and John Green"
And then below his name: Small
dance, $50 to 1890 Sat-, Feb. Sd.
R. S. v. P"
If the dance is to be very small,
John may perfectly well send the
invitations himself. In this case he
should write notes: Dear Mary Cor
Dear JIM, will you come to my
dance on Saturday evening, Feb
ruary 3, from $3.50 to 1920? Sim
cerely, John Green"
| X X X X
Dear Mrs. Post-Please tell me
whether champagne would be incor-
rect to serve with evening refresh
ments after large bridge party?
If not, what type of refreshments
DO you think would go best with
champagne?
Answer-Champagne would cer-
tainly be correct, though, Of course,
it does suggest not only formal,
but fairly substantial supper. One
thinks, for example, of caviar and
cold meat and salad and not of
cakes and sandwiches.
