PIONEERS WILL
OPEN DOORS 10
LADIES TONIGHT
The members of Nenana Igloo.
No. 17, Pioneers of Alaska, will
play the host tonight to the ladies
of Nenana and their escorts, an en
tertainment, dance and sourdough
luncheon having been prepared to
follow immediately after the regular
meeting, in honor of Labor Day.
The social session is scheduled to
start about nine o’clock, a short
program of vocal and instrumental
music, recitations, and the reading
of Secretary Lane’s ‘‘Tribute to the
American Pioneer,” by George Mar
kus, comprising the entertainment
feature, to be followed by two or
three hours of dancing and a sour
dough luncheon.
| The business session will start
promptly at eight, and it is urged
that all members be on hand at the
opening, so as not to delay the
meeting. Several matters of im
portance to the igloo will be brought
tup for consideration, but it is be
lieved the session can be concluded
by nine, the hour set for the com
mencement of the program.
The affair tonight probably will
be the last open social session held
by the Pioneers until October, when
the usual observance of Alaska Day
will be arranged, marking the com
mencement of winter activities.
FIRST FROST COMES;
FLOWERS ARE GOING
The first heavy frost of the season
to visit Nenana enveloped the town
last night, covering the ground with
its mantle of white and cutting
short the life of the more delicate
varieties of flowers and vegetables.
Vera and Margaret Russell have
returned to their home in Nenana
from a visit in Fairbanks.

MANY CHANGES IN
E
LONDON.—Americans who have
not been in London since the be
ginning of hostilities, but who are
now here in large numbers, are find
ing many changes in the city and
■its institutions. Particularly is this
jtrue of the theaters and music halls,
| where in other days they enjoyed
' the audience as much as they did
the program.
One American went to the Al
hambra the other night. There he
had often seen the ballet, but there
now he found a new world. There
was a ballet, to be sure, but this
time it was a Russian ballet. But
.what surprised him most was that
between the ballets, the excellent
orchestra, conducted by a capable
Russian, played classical music and
the audience sat still and listened
to it. Very few people left their
seats, and the girls in the side rows
did not ogle the young men in the
stalls. There seemed to be no more
connection between the performers
and the audience than there usually
is at a concert. It was not so in
other days.
The audience, too, suprised him.
It was of the thoughtful kind, and
more fashionably gowned than be
fore the war. Nearly every one,
he observed, w'as in evening clothes,
the women paying particular atten
tion to the mode of the moment.
A notice asked the audience to
“smoke as little as possible,” and,
as he remarked, there was no “vo
cal” evidence of the proximity of
the bar.
In a one-time music hall where
a popular actress was being fea
, tured. and where the sallies from
the stage formerly were greeted
;with uproarious laughter, there was
now nothing more apparent than
good-humored tolerance.
! “I suppose it is the war,’’ he
said, “for it is certain the London
;er is taking his pleasures much more
seriously than when I was last
here.”
A live advertisement brings busi
ness. A newspaper needs advertis
ers. A town needs a newspaper. I

business—1 adve-tise.

Labor Day is being observed to

The day is also being partially

CREATOR OF WORD
WILL BE AWARDED
PRIZE OF $1,000
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 1.—Can
you create the one word which will
beat denote the United States and
all parts of Britannia? If so, you
will be paid at the rate of $1,000 a
word. The World Trade Club of
San Francisco has offered $1,000 to
the person who suggests the word
which, in the judgment of the club’s
■
Metric Campaign Committee, is best
adapted to world-wide use.
The competition is open to all
humankind. The money will be paid
to the winner at noon on May 15,
1920, by a committee appointed by
President W. H. Hammer of the
World Trade Club.
“Brit-Am," “Ambria,” “Ambritti
ca,” “Br-Am,” “Sam-Bull,” are some
words thus far suggested. New
names are constantly coming in.
The World Trade Club is offering
this award because in carrying on
its present campaign for the adop
tion of metric units by all English
speaking people—the United States,
the British Isles, Canada. Australia,
New Zealand, Tasmania, United
’South Africa, and so on—it was
hampered by the lack of a single
short word which would express all
these.
The metric units of weights and
* measures are now used by all the
world except “Brit-Am," or “Am
jbrittica” or “Sam-Bull.”
j The offices of the World Trade
■ Club are located at 681 Market
! street. San Francisco.
