THE KIND OF MEN
who wear clothing tailored by
us is a guarantee of both its
character and economy. To be
well dressed a man must be in
dividually fitted and we do that
perfectly. The result is a style
and distinction not otherwise
possible. Our prices preclude
all idea that our tailoring is an
extraordinary extravagance.

NO MORE MARRIED
WOMEN IN A. E. C.
It 1b very gratifying to learn that
the Alaska Engineering Commission
has noted the error of Its way and
so noting, has taken immediate steps
to rectify the same. Women now en
gaged by the Commission, and whose
husbands are likewise successfully
flirting with the government pay roll,
will be permitted to gracefully sever
their connection with the official pay
master’s office and retire to their
homes, where their charms will con
tinue to shed luster upon the social
life of Anchorage.
It is quite possible that Chairman I <
Biles and Captain K. Wears, being as
they are completely submerged in the
wealth of the important and extensive
plans of the Commission, have per
mitted the various heads of the de
partments carte blanche In the mat
ter of employing their assistants and
therefore were somewhat unacquaint
ed with the personnel of the employ
ees. This is not only quite possible,
but extremely probable and their ac
tion in remedying the unfair em
ployment—conditions, is so far as the
single women of the town are con
cerned, indicates a broad and just de
termination to give every aid in their
possession when they are properly
advised in the premises.
It might not be amiss to merely
mention in the pasing that if the
corpulent type chaser and retund pol
itician of renown, now engaged in
the gentle pastime of throwing an oc
casional fit, for the Peripatetic, will
note this new Commission arrange
ment for the employment of married
men, be might permit the reason for
the road made by the Democrat on
behalf of the single women of the
town, to gently percolate down thru
his gigantic mentality. But we fear
that he will not and that the Peripa
tetic will continue to wonder why
anyone should roar at all, about any
thing or at any time for any reason.
—Anchorage Democrat.
