CORDOVA, ALASKA
BERLIN, June 17.—The suggestion,
already broached In some quarters, of
a serious consideration of a limited
I
legalized polygamy to replace the
human material destroyed hy the pres
ent war Is by no means new. The
Prankish Archives, published in Ans
bnch in 1790, contain nn official pro
tocol of a meeting of the "Krelstag"
or local diet held at Nuremberg on
February 14, 1650, In which was con
sidered the problem of replacing the
men "lost through the Thirty Years'
War nnd also through sickness.” The
protocol reads.
"Inasmuch as the unavoidable needs
of the holy Homan Empire require the
replacing of the men totally lost
through this bloody Thirty Years'
War, and those incapacitated by
sword, sickness nnd hunger, nnd that
It shall In the future bo equal to
meeting all Its enemies, and particu
larly the hereditary enemy of the
Christian name, the Turk, and that
all means, ways and methods shall be
considered.
"Therefore, upon ripe deliberation
nnd consideration, the following three
ways were held on all sides to be the
easiest and most fruitful: It shall for
the next ten years be forbidden to
take into cloisters young men or such
men as are under 60; ntarrluge shall
be permitted to such priests and pas
tors as are not members of orders or
In cloisters or prebends: every male
person shall be permitted to marry
ten women, but all and every male
person shall be thereby often re
minded, also from the pulpits, thnt nn
honorable man who ventures to take
ten women, shall not only provide for
them all necessaries, but, shall also
prevent all dissatisfaction among
them.”

I DISLIKE NEW COOKERY
I _
i
. VENICE, June 17.—Several million
street car tickets, which the Vienna
city authorities had printed with vari
ous recipes for war-cookery dishes to
replnee meats and expensive foods,
are to be destroyed. People who
tried these recipes came back with
angry protests to the effect that prac
tically all the new dishes required the
use of eggs, butter and milk, making
just as expensive dishes as the meats
which they wore designed to replace.

UP-TO-DATE FROCKS
FOR THE SUMMER GIRL
NEW YOHK, June 17.—Novel fash
ions are not hard to find. Every shop
that makes a pretense at exclusive
ness puts emphasis on cleverness and
one has only to find the one that dis
plays the largest number of out-of-the
ordinary frocks to ascertain which Is
the leader. The problem for the aver
age woman Is to duplicate the high
priced models out of the small sum
that she has to spend upon dress.
Things are greatly simplified this
season by the Introduction of lovely
cotton materials which are Incredibly
low priced. Frocks for afternoon
wear are handsomely developed In
semi-transparent materials, many of
which are figured, while others are
patterned with large dots or stripes
arranged in effective groupings. Fine
linen is one of the most satisfactory
fabrics for the lingeree frock that is
to endure tubbing, and It will pay to
obtain as fine a quality as possible.
There are some delicious llnons with
dots about the size of a quarter, the
dots being shnded along the edges.
An attractive model has a straight
gathered skirt, the upper section being
of plain llnon. At the lower edge
there are three frills of the dotted
goods to correspond with the waist,
which fastens on the outside of the
skirt below a narrow black velvet rib
bon girdle.
There Is nothing more graceful than
the straight gathered skirt, although
the apron tunic and other draped ef
fects have not yielded apprevtably to
the newcomer’s popularity. One rea
son why the home dressmaker adores
the straight skirt Is because It is
easily and quickly made. There are
no shaped gores to be stitched to
straight edges and come out unevenly,
nor are there graduated lines to be
crowded into tucks or accommodated
to the surplus fullness of a hem. The
plaited skirt that is cut without gores,
In one piece, is also admirably, espe
cially when carried out In voile, cotton,
crepe, marquisette, serge, etc. Pongee
is likeable because It lends Itself to
models that are used for both tubbable
and non-tubbable materials. Surely
there Is nothing more serviceable for
the summer frocks than pongee.
Boleros constantly grow in favor
a^id are seen upon the thinnest of
lingeree gowns. Finished with plain
bands of braid lace insertion or with
a border of Belf material they are
exceedingly chic, worn over under
blouses that have soft vests of lace,
chiffon or net.
