Figure Is Fitted to
One of the' strangest of strange
things In the modern fashion world is
the fitting of 'the figure to the gown
Instead of fitting the gown to the fig
ure. Strange? Perhaps,. but none the less
a fact
Up to the minute modistes and
fashionably gowned women who are
putting hours daily to the task of fit
ting their figures to their gowns cor
roborate this observation. The best
fitting gowns of today are made along
certain well defined lines with a gen
eral Idea of "fit.'' The actual shaping,
however, is done by the belle or matron
for whom the garment la created. She
accomplishes this not by the use of
scissors and needle and thread, but by
the more subtle and certain matter of
diet
The new skirts are, oh, so nhrrow;

IN SOIL OF ALASKA
(United Pre teased Wire.)
Washington, Jan. 1. More than 100
varieties of strawberries now grow In
Alaska, according to the annual report
of Alaska agricultural experimental sta
tions of the department of agriculture,
made public here today.
Because of the climatlo eonditions
In Alaska It was a hard problem at
first to get strawberries to thrive, but
by hybridizing cultivated varieties with
pollen from the wild native Alaska
strawberry, of the coast region, splendid
result were obtained. The most re
markable feature about these hybrid
plants is that they were decidedly more
vigoroua than either parent yielding
more, growing larger and seemingly
suited to almost any climate In the ter
ritory. ; .
In connection with the growing of
apples, the experts in Alaska wrote
that only trees with crabapple blood
produced fruit. An apple Is being made
to hybridize the crabapple with the
ordinary eating apple In hopes of get
ting a fruit that will stand the climate
and be acceptable to good table use.

Sweet Sixteen shows him gome
AT THE END OF
By Walt
"Jim Splker, the blacksmith, is the
biggest blowhard in town," said the
horse doctor. '!If you'd listen to him a
while you'd think nobody ever knew
how to make horseshoes before he
opened his shop. I used to find him
amusing, but I'm getting tired of his
eternal bragging."
"It is possible that Jim carries his
self-glorification to extremes,-' remarked
the village patriarch, "but I notice that
he does the business. Half a dozen
men have owned and operated the oppo
sition horseshoeing palace during the
past year or two, and they all have
sought fresh pastures, they found, the
picking so poor here. Jim's always
buoy and he told me the other day
that he's going to build an addition
to his shop In the spring and engage
an assistant I've heard a good many
complain of his stunts in elocution, but
I never beard anybody say that he's a
poor blacksmith. He refusfea to hide
his light under a bushel, and I can't
say that I blame him.
"I like to hear a man brag of his
skill. I don't like to hear a man speak
In terms of praise of his whiskers or
his beautiful shape or his ability as a
tenor singer, but If ha is satisfied that
he can manicure a mule "better than
anybody else In his neighborhood he Is
privileged to say so, and no well bal
anced citizen will be offended. Jim
Splker's motives and principles are all
right, and if it ever becomes necessary
to have my cow shod I'll send her to
his shop.
"The trouble with the world today la
that people , don't brag enough. If a
blacksmith brags, ot his dexterity with
a hammer It Is reasonably certain that
he Is interested in his work and that
he will do the best Job he knows how
when you patronise him. And when
you want him he's generally at his
headquarters. The blacksmiths who
hang around the village pump talking
politics and waiting for some patrlotlq
citizen to come along and Invite them
to have refreshments are the ones who
should be rebuked. The man who wins
is the one who is enthuslastio over his
business, whatever that business may
be; and the one who has trouble side
stepping the sheriff Is the man who
goes to his task like a galley slave.
"When I was In the feed business my
discourse was chiefly of hay. I have no
doubt that finicky people criticised me
and said I talked shop too much, and
some probably considered me a bore.
But I took a profound interest in hay,
and I didn't care a whoop .about the
nebular hypothesis or Browning's poet
ry, so I discussed the theme I under
stood best I really believed, and be
lieve to this day, that a bale of hay
is the noblest work of man, and I could
talk like an Inspired prophet when it
waa a question of hay, but I was at a
lots for words when subjects more ab
strupe were introduced.
"The result was that I dilthe biggest
feed business in town, and In my old
age I have an ample supply ot the
wherewithal in the bank. "Whenever a
man in this town needed hay he thought
of me; whenever his cows erled for

naturally rose in his mind. There's
nothing like identifying yourself with
your busness in that way, even at the
risk of being denounced at-pink teas
as a bore.
"Contrast Bob Hacksmith with Jim
Spiker. Bob fixes pumps and has a shop
down under the hardware store. You
never hear Bob bragging of the way
he repairs a pump. He's always brag
ging of some fool thing that makes
no difference the fish he caught last
June or the number of rabbits he shot
in one day last January or something
like that .He takes no interest in his
business. If the mainspring of your
pump breaks and you want to have
Bob for it, you have to get a dark
lantern and a set of false whiskers and
track him down. And when you find
him he'll want to tell you how he beat
Tom Jinks at pool and you have to
back him Into a hallway and sit on- him
before you can get him to listen to
your spiel.
"Then he'll promise to come and up
holster your pump at a certain time
and, of course, he won't do it and
you have to carry water from the creek,
a mile away, for three weeks before
Bob arrives to make repairs. It would
be a real pleasure to hear Bob bragging

It would show that he does take a

in town would do the same thing."
GLAVIS RESIGNS WHILE -CHARGES
ARE PENDING
(United Pr Leaned Wire.)
Sacramehto. Cal., Jan. 1. The resign
nation of L. R. Glavls as secretary of
the eate conservation commission
caused . little surprise at the state
capltol here, owing to the charges which
are pending before Governor Johnson as
to Glavls'' favoritism to lumber Inter
ests. Much speculation was Indulged In,
however, as to whether Glavia would
continue as secretary of the water com
mission, the understanding here being
that" he did not resign that position.
State officials refused to discuss the
resignation because the -governor has
given no opinion on the charges. ' Gov
ernor Johnson is In San Francisco. Sur
veyor General W. 8. Kingsbury, Who
Initiated the charges against Glavls, is
