M
governor general of South Africa
since 1923, surprised his subjects
and many of his friends recently by
making a public speech in Afrikaans
or Cape Dutch, which is the coun
try's second official language. Res
ponding in English to an address ol
welcome during a visit to the vil
lae of Oudtshoorn, the earl sudden
ly astonished his hearers with sev
eral sentences in Afrikaans. After
wards he spoke especially to the far
mers of the Oudtshoorn district in
that language sympathizing with them
because of the business depression in
the ostrich feather industry.
Princess Alice is also studying Af
rikaans and making excellent prog
ress. The earl, for months when he
first came here, arose at 4 o’clock
each morning for a lesson from a na
tive teacher and within six months
he was able to read the language
fairly well, but this was all a secret
until the event at Oudtshoorn which
gave the governor general opportun
ity to show' what he had accomplish

League of Nations, that the British
government is considering the ad

English delegates while they are in

England figures that its budget for
league expense would be considerably
lessened by housing its delegates in
its own official residence rather than
having them in expensive hotels.

COIFFEUSE TO FILM STARS
NEVER COULD ABIDE THE BOB
HOLLYWOOD, Cal., June 6.—(&)
—Hattie Wilson Tabourne, negro
hair dresser for film stars, died here
recently, bearing to the last a hat
red for bobbed hair that was over
shadowed only by the love of her
work.
This woman, creator of gorgeous
head dresses that were admired
thruout the feminine world, was vir
tually unknown until her death. It
was her fate to see the bobbed hair
she detested become a fixture during
the nine years of her association
■with the film industry. She used to
stay up nights figuring out wrays to
combat the encroachments of the bob
among film women. Failing in this,
she evolved the most elaborate me
thods of disuising it. This motive
was responsible for some of the coif
fure effects that adorned the heads
of movie stars, and caused many
women to wonder who the designer
was.
The Seward Chamber of Commerce
will lunch tomorrow at the Grill.
George Nelson, guide, returned to
Seward Sunday from 3’c iak lake.

Leave for States, Will
Return In Two Months
The Seward pulp mill question will
receive an impetus in Seattle, during
the Washington State Editors Con
vention, which Jack Peterson, fore
man of the printing department of
the Seward Gateway will attend dur
ing his visit Outside. Mr. and Mrs.
Peterson and little daughter, Peggy,
who have been residents of' Seward
the past year, departed on the Yu
kon yesterday afternoon for Seattle.
They expect to be gone for atv least
60 days.
Their first visit in the States will
be at the home of Mrs. Peterson’s
mother, who resides at Snohomish,
Wash. Following the visit in Sno
homish, Mr. Peterson will attend the
Elks’ Convention in Portland after
which he will return to Snohomish.
After a brief stay at the latter place
it is their intention to purchase an
automobile in which to tour the East.
Mr. Peterson’s folks reside at Omaha.
This is the first trip he will have
made home in 17 years, though he
has promised them many times to
do so. Mr. Peterson also proposes
to attend the American Legion Con
vention, and has promised the Gate
way to send a daily letter of the
progress of the Convention. Sioux
City and Chicago will also be visit
ed by the Alaska travelers.
While on his visit to various news
paper plants and printing establish
ments, Mr. Peterson will naturally
absorb all knowledge possible in so
short a period, in his line of busi
ness, advertising and the printing
craft.
Mr. Peterson has a business deal
pending in Seward which lie hopes
bringing to a successful conclusion
upon his return.
