Interior Dept. Proposes Dropping Double Filing Law for HomeSteaderS

WASHINGTON, R-A regula- tion to eliminate the need for Alaskans to file double proof of compliance with the Homestead Law has been proposed by the Department of the Interior.
 The change in regulations is designed to carry out the intent of Congress which last spring passed a bill dropping the requir- ment for double filing.
 Alaskan homesteaders since the year 1850 have been required to file proof of compliance upon pe- tition for the free survey and also when applying for title to the property. The new regulation would require statement of compliance only with the petition for new survey.
 Comments on the revision will be accepted by the Bureau of Land Management in Washington until Jan. IA.

many interesting Easter lunch-

ON EASTER SUNDAY
Traditions Of 1905
Will Prevail Today

Mclean, who were married in
1908, had many automobiles:
but they liked to arrive at the
Easter breakfast given by Mr..
McLean's parents in a low
hung victoria of black and sold
drawn by white horses. Evalyn
Mclean. who was the Irish
type with dark hair and blue
eyes. was always striking in a
white costume with a large
white hat trimmed with white
flowers, white furs, and her
many jewels.
Until they switched to auto
mobiles, the horses and car
riages of the diplomats added
much to the pageantry effects
Of the Mclean Easter lunch
con. Some of the carriages of
the diplomats were very grand
in design and trappings.
President and Mrs. Warren
G. Harding, as well as the Vice
President and Mrs. Calvin
Coolidge, members of the
cabinet and the diplomatic
corps, attended the Easter
luncheon during Mr.. and Mrs.
Edward Beale McLean's re-
gime at Friendship. During
this period the Easter lunch
cons at the White House were
dispensed with. The HardingS
and many of the other guests
would remain at Friendship
after the luncheonS were over,
through cocktail hour, and
sometimes remained for dinner.
Evalyn Walsh Mclean added
many picturesque and dra-
matte notes to the Friendship
Easter luncheons. Sometimes
her costumes we're as fantastic
as her Hope diamond, Star of
the East and other fabulous
jewels. She invited not only
social leaders and diplomats
and officials, but men and
women who figured in the
news or she found interesting.
She had q fetish for maintain
ing certain aspects of the
luncheon arrangements origi-
mated by Mrs. John r. Mclean.
She used the fabulous lace
table cloths Mrs. Mclean had
garnered from all over the
world. She arranged the fruit
and flowers and candles in the
high golden centerpieces on
each table exactly as Mrs.
Mclean had arranged them.
Continued Entertaining
After the death of Edward
Beale Mclean and the sale of
Friendship, Evalyn Mclean
established herself in her new
Friendship" in Georgetown
and continued her entertain
ing. Many q soldier, sailor,
marine or airman wrote home
