WHY ALASKANS
GET GROUCHY
- I
The following is clipped from the
last issue of Capper’s Weekly and I
explains itself:
Americans in Alaska live In a
highly electrified atmosphere during I
the winter which has strange effect
on their daily lives. There is so
much static in the air, writes Mary
Dee Davis, in Scribner, that one can - j
not walk across a room and touch i
another body without generating a
long, snappy electric spark. The
Davis airet’.ale soon learned this and
when he crosses the rug or the
living room, he always turns his
head aside and dow-n as he snuggles
to be petted, knowing that otherwise
his black wet noHe will receive a
bee like sting. In winter no one
dares to clean a garment In gasoline.
Two women of Mrs. Davis’ acquaint
ance were burned to death in so
doing. .fust the friction of lifting
the material from the gasoline, pro
duces sparks in the electrified air,
and an explosion. Hy February the
more nervously organized persons
suffer from this surcharge of elec
tricity in the atmosphere and become
irritable. Hy the end of March they
arc avoiding or hating one another,
•hit when spring comes the grouch
passes quickly and neighbors who
have not spoken for weeks greet one
another on the street . . . Per
haps mme of our moods might be
accounted for in some such way.

The Durable Non-skid Mat
itiiu uuuu tuuutw
It traps the dirt—keeps ?l outside where it belongs.
In wet weather, the mud is scraped off the shoes and caught
between the links of the mat, and all moisture is removed by the
cotton fabric in the mat.
It dry weather, the BURABLE MAT functions equally well
in catching the dirt and dust. Thus, the DURABLE NON-SKID
MAT is an all-year, all-weather mat. For sale by
