“HOCKEY TUNIC"
Styles in athletic garb for under
graduates in Connecticut College for
women are going to staay “put”
hereafter and not change at the
whim of the students themselves.
The freshman’s costume is a
“hockey tunic.” Succeeding classes
will use it and until each in turn ar
rives at the dignity of senior rank.
The tunic is navy blue with white
blouse, the instructors wearing black
in contrast. The chief points ir> the
costume are that they are neat, tail
ored and comfortable.
The melody of song was transform
ed into the melody of color by a silk
stocking firm. To display appropriate
evening tints for milady’s hose, “La
Vestale,” which opened the New
York opera season, served as their
inspiration.
On a huge card were displayed the
first few bars of the opera and in
stead of the black notes dainty tints
were substituted. The range of selec
tion varied from pale pink shades to
the heavier tones of orchid and rasp
berry.

veloped to a point where good produc
tion can be maintained.
The Alaska Matanuska Coal com
pany is still driving its main work
ing tunnel which is seven by ten feet,
large enough to drive a heavy draft
horse through drawing a string of
coal cars. The mine is filling rail
road contract and supplying coal for
domestic purposes. The washer is
now in operation and everything is
reported to be going smoothly.
The Rawson mine, located opposite
the Alaska Matanuska company, is
operating with a force of ten or 12
men, is shipping a good quality of
coal, much of which is lump and re
mains intact and free from pulveriz
ing. The workings driven are now
advanced until it is possible to at
tack the coal measures above with
chutes and rooms.
The Premier mine is now working
40 men in the main camp and run
ning a full day and part night shift.
Five big seams have been developed,
which appear to be well bedded and
continuous.
The Evan Jones mine, which has
not operated to any great extent since
completing a contract with the rail
road, is equipped with machinery and
capable of maintaining a large daily
production. In the event of a 1,000-ton
San Francisco coal contract coming to
the fields this mine would handle- the
bulk of the output owing to favorable
mechanical equipment, but would re
quire additional eqipment to main
tain output on such a large scale.
Among the activities that "'promises
to follow the prospective era of coal
production will be the standardizing
of the Moose creek coal spur, which
has a narrow-gauge roadbed from
Moose Creek Station, on the main
Chickaloon coal spur, to the Baxter
mine, a distance of approximately
five miles. From this point to its
terminus at the Rawson mine the road
bed is standard-guage along with the
bridges.
While the ePtersen coal ship will
take on coal at the Anchorage dock
in summer, it will rely upon cargoes
delivered by rail to Seward in winter
owing to lack of adequate harbor fa
cilities at Anchorage and the tidal
sweep of slush ice. The distance
from the Moose Creek section of the
Matanuska fields to Seward is approx
imately 160 miles. It is planned to
open negotiations with the Alaska
Railroad for a coal rate to Seward that
will permit of continuous winter haul
age. This would offer opportunity
for the ePtersen ship and tramp
steamers to dock in Seward’s all-year
round open harbor and take on coal
for Pacific poast markets.

lirected at the Seward Volunteer

rom the local “Aces”, was announc
ed yesterday. The “Aces” who lay
?laimi to being thte best little nine

are all aged men, broken down in
health and in spirit.
As announced in the challenge the
game is scheduled for next Thursday
evening at the hour of 8 o’clock. The
