MISS GREY PULLS “FOX PAW
11
|
We have just discovered the Seattle “complex”—why
the lovelorn wind up by busting guns under each other’s
noses, wives elope with bootleggers &nd husbands dissi
pate their substances in wine suppers and silks for the
cook. It is all due to misinformation being disseminated
by Cynthia Grey. An enquirer asked Miss Grey to print
the names of some of the most important papers in Alaska.
Miss Grey informs them of the names of every pamphlet
published in the Territory, but, like many outsiders dis
played her ignorance of the only newspaper in Alaska by ,
omitting the name of the Gateway. The chagrin felt.
over the oinmission may be ameliorated somewhat by the;
way the query was directed. It said “papers.” Had he ;
said “newspapers” possibly Miss Grey would have an
swered: “The newspaper published in Alaska is the Sew- <
ard Gateway.”

Early in the beginning of the Legislative session
we remarked that the Third division delegations were
for the most port a conservative bunch and might be
looked to to defeat radical legislation. Thus far at least
the Senate has lived true to predictions, and maybe some
of those who have been flirting with the bolshevist ideas
will yet see the light.
The defense scored heavily yesterday in the Snyder
murder trial. They proved that it was a piano wire she
used to strangle her husband and n&t a window cord.
Let’s begin '‘Better Music” week by smashing up the
suggestive parodies on nursery rhymes and fables.
The announcement that “Hoover was under fire when
the levee was dynamited” would have suited certain poli
ticians better if it had been “fired.”
The Territorial Senate issued a memorial saying if
guaranteed encouragement to investment. They mighty
whisper to the House to lay off excessive and discrimina
tory taxation as their assurance of keeping faith with
capital.
Now that it has been discovered that there are real’
voices in Seward, what’s the matter with an operetta?

“Well, I’m at the end of my rope,” said the man
throwing away the stub of a cheap cigar.
Schools for parents are to be established in Minne-j
apolis doubtless by children who have found that the pa-!
rental ideas of modesty, respect for age, sentiment and;
poetry do not harmonize with jazz, a hip flask and posing |
in the altogether, not to mention slang and an abhorrence i
ofr spirtiual culture.
“Pope Raps Styles”—Headline. And milady wraps
wraps her skirt a little tighter.
The greatest miracle of the present legislative session
is how the House overlooked the appropriation bill. Most
of the members must expect to go to work after the ses
sion.
Now that it is proposed to improve the quality of mu
sic we may look for a better brand of booze. The present
output of jazz makes a man willing to tackle anything to
produce unconsciousness.
Each generation invents new sins, but the old models
are seldom junked.
With the decline of galoshes the term “flapper” be-;
comes less expressive.
Who remembers when youngsters in their teens wore
underwear made out of flour sacks?
PRESTIGE OK MARKET
NINETY-EIGHT PER CENT OF THE
SKINS ARE IMPORTED; VAL
UED AT MILLIONS
WASHINGTON, May 3. (#>)—The
pocket-book pinch formerly felt by
| American women when the old fur
coat simply would not stand another
outing without a feeling of despair
i
has been countered with a “rabbit
punch” by furriers and the Federal
Biology Survey.
Use of rabbit lur in imitating more
j expensive pelts of disappearing fur
bearing animals is increasing steadi
ly, experts say, and making possible
purchases which women formerly
wrere hesitant to make because of
! prohibitive prices.
“Rabbit fur”, biologists declared in
a report, “lends itself readily to imi
i
tation processes, and American fur
; dressers and dyers have mastered so
well the art of imitating other furs
by modern methods of plucking,
| shearing and dying that the pelt of
the rabbit is being offered for sale
j under a variety of trade names and
jin many instances is replacing such
j costly and attractive skins as ermine,
seal, beaver and leopard.”
More than 100,000,000 rabbit skins
are utilized annually, the report says.
About 55,000,000 are dressed and
dyed, being made into fur garments
and trimming for women’s coats,
suits and dresses. Skins not suita
ble for garments are used as linnings
for gloves and in the manufacture of
felt.
Ninety-eight per cent of the skins
valued at about $25,000,000 is import
ed from other countries.
Pelts of the wild cottontail and
jack rabbit are said to be of practi
cally no use to furriers because of
their thinness and poor quality.
Every domestic rabbit skin, however,
except that of the Angora, has com
mercial fur value, regardless of size
or color, the biologists say.
MUSICAL PROGRAM TOMORROW
Tomorrow (Wednesday) the seven
th and eight grade classes will rend
er a brief musical program at 2 p. m.
in Miss Elsie Hoffman’s room. The
program is in keeping with “Better
Music Week” and parents and others
are extended an invitation to attend.
Arrivals from the Interior report
there is still about five inches of ice
on the river and from present indica
tions those holding lottery tickets on
the ice pool, unless they guessed
around July 4th, are out of luck.
The S. S. Admiral Farragut, of the
Pacific Steamship Company, is ex
pected to arrive in port from the
South sometime tonight.
The Coast Guard Unalga, which
arrived in port yesterday for mail,
continued on to the Westward yes
terday afternoon.
PORT OF MISSING MEN
J. C. Barnhart, Honey Cove, Texes,
formerly at Ennis, Texas, is seeking
information of the whereabouts of
his brother S. W. Barnhart who left
Bakersfield, Cal., in March 1912 to
come to Alaska.
