Why Grow
Old?
By Josephine Lowmon

To my mind poise is an inner
quality. 1t is not a characteristic
every one has but it can be de-
veloped with practice. I hope to
give you some practical sugges-
tons which will help you develop
| 1t if you find yours rather limp.
Take the matter of eating. If
you will look about you In any
restaurant at almost any dinner
table, and especially when at a
drugstore counter during the noon
hour, you will find that few per-
sons have poise while eating.
| Do you bend over your food at
the table like tired straw? Do
you sit with your shoulders and
head slumped forward? Do you
cut your meat with the eagle
spread approach? Are you fright
ened by lobster and spaghetti? Do
you feel awkward when removing
fruit pits from your mouth?
Perhaps the most important
Irule to suggest Is elaboration. Do
not hurry. Avoid jerky move
ments. Eating should be please
ure and a pleasure is something to
Ibe enjoyed leisurely. Also hurry
makes mistakes. I realize that
the mistake of trying to eat an
artichoke with a knife and fork
is one which would disturb the
lpoise of most folks. However If
you had not been In such hurry
Iyou would perhaps have observed
some one who was more accus-
toned to this dish.
It is true that every movement
you make is more noticeable when
sitting at a table because people
see only the upper third of your
body, and their gaze is forced
upon the way you chew, your
manner of lifting food to your
mouth and any eating actions
with your hands.
II you are unhurried and I'M
harried you will eat slowly, you
will chew slowly, and will prob
ably put your fork down in be-
tween most bites. You will also
wait to observe the method of at
tack on unaccuStomed foods. Let
all movements be slow, graceful
and unperturbed.
When you are confronted with
a difficult eating feat let q calm,
slow going, determined effort
make up for lack of dizziness.
You should also indulge in 1egit-
innate distractions. Remember
that woman's eyes are her most
defensive or offensive weapons.
Lift your head and thereby draw
attention to your face and away
from your food.
Do not keep your glance glued
to your food. Look away. Let
conversation and attentive listen
ing provide distraction. It is only
natural that long tasks, when
Ipunctuated with some diversion,
are less arduous and cause less at
tention.
When a woman of poise eats or
drinks one is never conscious of
the manner in which she does it.
1t would be limited viewpoint to
imply that poise at the dining
room table is matter of man
Iners only Etiquette is variable.
What is considered good taste in
one part of the country and in
different countries, is often
frowned upon in another. but
Epoise is UNIVERSAL! ...

longer will a handkerchief gift
mean to the recipient that the
person giving it didn't have
time to shop for anything else.
Handkerchief gifts are going
to really be imaginative ones.
ED. NOTE: We asked the
many women who work in uni
forms why it is that they al
ways wear fresh and starched
handkerchief bordered in
beautiful Powered prints or
edged in lace or crocheting on
them. The reply was that the
handkerchief relieves the mo-
notony of the strict, white
uniform and gives them a lift
because of the color and the
different appearance they all
possess via different handker-
chiefs. These handkerchiefs
are usually fastened with a
favorite pin.

Coffee Pot Care

If you have an electric coffee
maker brew a little baking soda
and water in it once in a while
lust as you would ordinarily brew
coffee: then wash tile inside OF
the coffee maker well. The baking
soda solution will help keep the
coffee maker free of the flavor OF
stale coffee.

INCIDENTALS

Prospects for new faces in the next Territorial Senate appear to be better than average for this season of the political year
 Senator Frank Barr has dropped out of the Senate to become U. s. Marshal in the Fourth Division Senator Walter Huntley is repor- ted to have very good chance of 5eing named Marshal for the Third Division. And Senator R. M. Mac Kenzie ie very likely to be appoin- ted Dental Supervisor for the Alas ka Native Service.
 Another vacancy will be created if Senator Gunnard Engebreth runs for Delegate to Congress, and if the elective governor bill is ap- proved by Congress, one or more of the present Senators might drop out to run for that office.

the railroad, reaching it by way ol Kvichak River and Iliamna Lake.
 This routing of the salmon pack would have required a fleet oi srecial shoal-draft vessels for the swift upper Kvichak and at least one extra handling of the ship ments and it is doubtful that it would have offered any serious competition to the direct water route
 After the railroad reached 1li- anna Lake it was to skirt the east nd of that lake and the west end 1f Lake Clark, then to follow var
 oIs river valleys to a crossing of the Kuskokwim somewhere near Russian Mission. From there it was to go directly to the Yukon at An yik.
 The company's prospectus made much of the fact that the greatest lavaticn the road would have to
 oss was under a thousand feet, 1ut it ignored entirely the miles of sWampy ground that might have 1een a greater obstacle than high mountains.
 And Anvik, the proposed terlnin- Us, is on the north bank of the Yukon and would have required a fridge to reach it. The prospectus explained that Engik was chosen because g the read vas eventually eGing to run to Seward Peninsula and Nome the most popuious area of Alaska" It failed to explain how the company was going to over come the engineering problem of building, and holding, a bridge at or near Anvik.
 Actually, of course, the promoters were never faced With that prob lem because they nsver got their tracks anywhere near the Yukon. They didn't even get them the 12 miles to Hanna Lake
 The promotion work continued for several years. The company seems to have made some sort of a survey of the proposed route and 1t actually shipped some materials to Iliamna Bay.
 The last shipment of rails, as far as is known, was aboard the steamer Farallon when she was wrecked at the entrance to Iliamna Bay on January 5, 1910. That, at any rate, was about the end of the Alaska Short Line Railway.

Fifiy-third in a Seriesl THE ALASKA SPORT LINE


 A great many railroads have been proposed for various parts of AL aska in the past 50 years and some of them seemed, on paper, to have very fine prospects.
 One of these was the Alaska Short Line. But it, like most of the others, never actually got built The short Line was to have run from niamna Bay, on the wes- tern side of Cook Inlet, to Anvik, on the lower Yukon River, dis tance of 369 miles.
 The Alaska Short Line Railway and Navigation Company was in- corporated in the State of Wash ingt0n on December l. 1903, and was headed by J. T. Cornforth who had had a hand in the building of several western railroads and was said to have located a part of the route over which the White Pass 65 Yukon Railroad was built
 The company at once issued a very fine prospectus, a prospectus that could scarcely be improved up- on by the Alaska Development Board today
 The prospectus speaks of the region to be traversed as a Won derland of Wealth. Tn addition to teing a ssportsman's paradise" the promoters claimed the region had, among other things, gold, cop per, lead, sulpher, silver, oil, coal, asphalt, cinnabar, timber for the manufacture of pulp, and unlimi- ted farm lands.
 The KussokWim River, which the railroad was to cross, was adver- t.sed as the richest fish river in Alaska, where fish run every month of the year. Which means that canneries equal to those already established on the coast gill be To- cated there"
 When the prospectus got down to earth it announced that the railroads first stage would be the P miles from Iliamna Bay to Ili- anna Lake. This stretch. the pro- motors said, would start producing revenue at once. They professed to believe that the entire Bristol Bay salmon pack would be diverted to
