Detailed plan.' for improvement of
the Vukon-Ku'k&k'vim portage are.
bein^ drawn up at the local office of
the 'Alaska Road Commission, from
information gained bv Major D. H.
Gillette, engineer officer of the. Com*
mission, and Lieutenant Garges, cm
thei^ recent trip to the portage port*
age,' says the Fairbanks News-Miner.
In making the survey for the pro
posed, improvements they traveled
across tiie portage, from Russian Mis
sion1 to the Kuskokwim and continued
dowh ti at river to A-kiakl
At present, travel-from the Yukon
to tie. Kuskokwim is exceedingly diffi
cult The traveler is forced to hoard
several different- - boats and walk
across land portages during the trip,
and Hhore is no way by which boats
can ‘be transported across the -'port
ages. When the improvement .project,
is completed there- will be a series of
traxAs across., the portages? -on which j
boatfs and freight may he taken from l
one body of .water: to another. At the1
middle portage, which is the longest,!
a slough . will he" widened aed deep
ened, thas eliminating land travel at
that1 point
When, it is possible for one boat to
go fom. the Yukon to the Kuskokwim,
the postage will undoubtedly serve as
an lmnprtant factor, in the develop-1
merit of He. lower liver country, as j
closer common icatioA will he estab- j
lished betweejp.Ksimmunities. <m the.
Kuskokwim and, the the JYukon.
It is said work would have started,
this’springs had it not heeajfhr a. de
feet in the law passed by the last
Territorial legislature relating to the.
project. The act called for the work
to be done on a co-operative basis be
tween the Territory and the Alaska
Road Commission, which was agree
able to the Commission. But before,
passing the act the legislators neg
lected to consult, with the road offi
cials about the matte. Had they done
so, it was stated, they would have
learned it. was written in such a way
that the Commission was legallyr un
able to co-operate.
At stated by Major Gillette, "Tb&
Alaska Road Commission was willing
to co-operate with the Territory on
this subject and at the beginning of
the season had sufficient funds been
available • to cover 'its share, of the
cnjst.”
The total distance- across- the port
age is 120 miles. The project of im
proving it presents,-. no engineering
difficulties. Major Gfllette said. The.
hardest task is to get materials there.
Lieutenant Cargos is now working on
the plans in order that all materials
can.he ordered and shipried to the site
without delay. When ■ material is at
hand, the work will take-only about a
month and a half..

Baby Talk.
Dr. Helen Woolley, director of Co
lumbia University’s Institute of Child
Welfare .Research, and one of the. ed
itors of the new magazine. Children,,
said at a reception in New York;
“Parents need a magazine to teach
them parenthood. There’s a lot. of
false information afloat about babies.
It’s like the story.
“ ‘Our babies are the same age,’
young Mr. Smith said to young Mr.
Brown. ‘Does your haby walk yet?’
i “ ‘Oh, dear me, no,’ said Brown.
“ ‘Mine does,’ said Smith., .I’m rais
ing it by the Baker system, you
know. It’s a real Baker baby. Has.
your baby cut any teeth?’
“ ‘No, not yet.’
,. “‘Mine has. Yes,-he’s, cut ’em. all.
Baker’s wonderful. Can your baby
talk?’
“ ‘Not yet. Can yours?!’
“ ‘Good gracious, yes! Talks, a billet
streak. I tell you, Baker—’
“But the other young father at.
this point gave a harsh laugh and
said:
“ ‘Does your baby make his own
home brew .or does he patronize a
bootlegger ?’ ”
Modern Morals.
Playwright Edward , Knoblock,
about'to sail on the Berengaria, said
at a farewell dinner in New York:.
“If modern morals -are as they’re
represented in our modern plays,.then
,1 agree with the cynic, who declared
that the moden woman ought to have
three husbands.
“ ‘Yes, she needs three husbands.’
the cynic said—‘a rich one to support
her, a handsome one to love her,, and
a strng one to beat her.’-’*

“HOW TO PRESERVE A Hffafcr
i ; BAND” IS THE LATEST RECIPE
WASHINGTON. — ProBaSly; the
most unusual recipe in the. recently
issued Congressional cook book: is by
: Mrs. Fred Purnell, wife of Aha Con
| gressman from Indiana, ...
! , While Mrs. Calvin Cotdjdga* Mrs.
Charles G. Dawes andtdtOfer famous
housewives gave recipes:'for muffins
and other dainties, Mz&irPurnell wrote
j on “How to Preserve a&Husband.”
Evidence that the recipe is a good
* one is shown in the: fact that Purnell,
I after twenty, .yeays. of married life, is
; one of the hajtpiest and best-fed look
' ing members of the lower house.
FTi.'- w:frV rccine fallows:
