School Girls’ Bell
Garters As a Fad
HUDSON, Mass., May 1.—When the
flappers of Hudson rolled their stock
ings scant notice was taken.
And when they began to wear their
skirts so short that knees were com
monplace, notice was regretfully at
tracted, but soon forgotten.
But when some thirty girls trooped
into their class rooms in the local
high school giving off vague tinkling
sounds, curiosity was arouse
Consternation followed when the
cause of the twinkling was learned.
“What is it?” Principal Charles A.
Williams asked a woman teacher.
“Bell garters,” the teacher replied
smilingly. "They wear them at the
knee. It’s a, fad.”
“It was, you mean,” said the prin
cipal. “Take them into the dressing
room and unbell them.”
The girls were led into the dress
ing room where the bells were snipped
off their garters.
"I thought I knew how far girls
would go in their effort to appear
smart, but I knew never anything un
til the high-powered flappers started
educating me,” said the principal.
Estimates made of the potential
value of the reindeer industry of Al
aska has been borne out by the rap
id increase of the herds, in the past
25 years. From 1280 animals first
introduced into Alaska it is esti
mated there are now 300,000, and
125,000 extra have been slaughtered
for meata and shipped outside. At
the present time the bulk of the
herds are located in the Second div
ision around Nome with the Kusko
kwim section second.

Now that the snow is off the
ground preparations to put the loca!
tennis court into shape cannot be toe
soon. It is understood that a fund
was subscribed last year by the fol
lowers ,of the eyer-increasing out
door sport. If such is the case, let’s
advance the project. Tennis para
phernalia is plentiful in the local
stores, and May 15 should se the
club playing on a good court. All
progressive towns in Alaska have
tennis courts, and even “golf links”
and baseball grounds and Seward
should rank with the rest.

GREAT SUSPENSE IN
NEW MYSTERY DRAMA
To those who like mystery in their
dramatic entertainment, a treat is
promised tonight when “The Girl on
the Stairs,” the latest Elmer Harris
Production in which Patsy Ruth Mil
ler is starred, is given its first show
ing at the Liberty theatre.
Briefly the story centers around a
sleep walking girl. One night, during
one of her somnambulistic strolls, a
murder is committed in the house
which adjoins her home. Just before
the discovery of the body of the mur
dered man she is seen descending the
stairs from his bed chamber. As a
motive for the killing, a packet of
love letters written by the girl dur
ing her school days is found in the
man’s room. Added to all this evi
dence, her footprint is discovered on
the knife with which the murder was
committed. Her guilt seems certain
and it is not until the last reel that the
mystery is unravelled.
Harris has surrounded Miss Miller
with an imposing array of talent in
cluded in which are Niles Welch, Ar
line Pretty, Shannon Day, Michael
Dark and several others.
