MAKES GOOD
 0N THREAT

Judge James Wickersham has been granted temporary restraining order stopping payment of any Ter ritorial money to Governors, Se- cretarys, Speaker and President ot the Senate On the ground that the same are unlawful.
 During the fight On the Control Ter Bill the question fthe legality laised by the Progressives. How ever the Conservatives considered the same a bluff and defeated the bills aimed to avoid the present situation.
 The Legislature adjourned sine die. At the last moment effort was made to suspend the Rules and to pass bills for an elective Treasurer and to increase the Pension of Pi- oneers but the effort was defeated by a combination of Gaffney, Lo, men, Sheldon and Murray although assured that both bills would pass.
 The puprpose of the injunction now brought is to bring about the separation of Federal and Territor- ial duties.
 The great lesson of this session is that money and not humanity in tluences most men also that people dependent upon salaries cannot stand the pressure.
 The fishery program of the First Division was defeated by close margin due to desertion of Smith and Grier. The Progressive lineup was Benjamin, Ferguson, Paul, Worth, Sundquist, Johnston, Ross, with Smith and Grier usually with them, especially on elective meas ures.
 The bomb shell thrown into the Camp of the Conservatives was more of a thunderbolt to them than the flop of Senator Dunn. Tn event the restraining order is made perma- nent it will be necessary for the Governor to call a session of the Legislature to remedy the defect in the law in order that the Territory may have the funds with which to properly function Territorial affairs.

EthnoIogists Coming
 Study Alaska

The Smithsonian Institution has announced the dispatch of an ex- petition to Alaska for an investiga- ton with a view to determining if possible the froutes of migration Of prehistoric man from Asia to Ameri-
 Henry B Collins, Jr, and T. Dale Stewart. both of the Smithsonian Institution are to make up the ex- petition. This expedition is the first step in the fulfllment of the Smith sonian Institutes plan for system atic investigation in Alaska with a view of discovering if possible routes of migration of prehistoric man from Asia to America. This plan was developed as a result of the survey by Dr. Alex Hrdlicka under the auspices of the Smith sonian's Bureau of Ethnology.
 The two investigators will do their main work this summer on Nunivak Island. an isolated spot on the edge of the Arctic, about which no scientific information of any sort exists. To reach the island, the Smithsonian men, are dependent up- on the courtesy of the Bureau of Education, whose boat stops there. They do not know how they will get away from the island as no boats call there regularly.
 Dr. Hrdlcika. while making his survey last summer. found tLat the natives of Nunivak represent one of the most conservative Eskimo groups left. The investigators hope TO get from them. consequently, tribal lore which other Alaskan Es- kimos have forgotten. Many old sites also are reported on the island and these will be excavated.
 The expedition is being made pos sible by the aid of the Bureau of American Ethnology, the National Museum, the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the American Council of Learned Societies.

YAkUTAT OIL TO BE STRUCK
 SOON SAYS F. ALDRICH

Frank A. Aldrich, we'll known pioneer, returned to uJneau on the Admiral Watson this morning from Yakutat where he has been doing assessment work on his oil claims. MT. Aldrich will remain in Juneau until next fonth when he will re- turn to Yakutat for further work He plans to have a geologist exam inc his property this summer.
 MT. Aldrich states that the oil drilling at Yakutat Beach, about 50 miles from Yakutat, is pro- gressing splendidly. The General Petroleum Company unde rthe sup. down over 1500 feet and it i sex. pected oil will be struck anytime Oil seepages may be seen for over 20 miles along the beach. The drilling has been going along slow according to Aldrich because oi the sandstone which has been struck about 1900 feet underground and the rock is so hard little progress can be made.
 It is rumored in Cakutat that NJ J. Sullivan, who left Juneau several nonths ago for the East to raise money for further work, has been successful and will come north shortly with a drill which will be installed this summer.--Em.

By Monday noon it appeared as the general appropriations measure would be held Up and that no ap- propriations is passed. at this session Under the organic law 1t would be possible to call an extra session of the legislature after be- ing authorized so to do by the Pres Ident.
 By the 55th day the House had not introduced the bill except by Title so the Senate introduced a measure which was opposed by Sem ator Brown. Chairman Ross of the House Ways and Means Committee introduced the bill but opposition to it was made by Murray. MT. Paul while admitting the correcness of Murray's contention declared that objection to the Senate Bill would be made on the same ground The matter was carried over another day when it was allowed to be en- tered but the gentleman from Nome immediately began to raise parlia- mentary questions to prevent it's consideration. It is supposed here that the ruling of Speaker Smith would be against the point of order raised by Lomen.

ENJONs APPROPRIATION E GRANTED TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER
Local Plans For July
 Fourth Celebration

] The mass meeting which was called by Mayor Swanson for We'd nesday evening at 7:30 sharp t0 discuss the local Fourth of July Celebration, was held in the Town Hall according to schedule with an ly ten citizens to make the mass. If Petersburg is not going to give any better support to the celebra- ton than she did to the prelimin- ary call for help in the arrange ments, what kind of a Fourth can she expect to put across. Out of the citizens present only one was woman Aren't the women of Pe- tersburg citizens??. This is to be YOUR celebration. YOUR Town is what you make it and 1t is up to each one of you to lend yours up- port wholeheartedly to make this National Holiday and make it a ce- lebration to be proud of and long to be remembered--not a farce Other towns do it, why not Peters burg,
 The Mayor called the meeting to order and appointed Mrs. J A. Men denhall as Secretary, to act as such throughout all the preliminary ar engagements. Quite a bit of discus sion ensued as to the method of handling the arrangements and it was finally decided that the Town as 9 whole should take over the Celebration.
 A motion was sustained that the Secretary be instructed ts write a letter to each organization in the Town asking that a Committee of two be appointed by each to meet with the Mayor and Secretary in the Town Hall on Wednesday evening. May IS; at 7:3O sharp. The sug- gestion was also made that the can Eery crew be invited to send one representative to the meeting as we wish their support. This plan of procedure does not put the re- sponsibility upon any one organi- zation and makes of 1t a Civic af- fair. If it is failure, the blame will lie at the door of each citizen who did not cooperate. If it is a success, the celebration will be as- sured to future years and you will be justly proud of your Town. Pe- tersburg needs your support. Unite and make this the most Glorious Fourth ever.

many times have you hit a
pitch which looked, at first
glance, to be a little shy? And
did you ever see one that looked
that way that was anything but
shy? There is something about
a golf shot that "gives you the
answer" the instant you hit it,
and good strong pitch won't
be 80 feet on its way before
something tells you it's going to
drop down the near side of the

Dear Miss Leeds: Is there any rem.
edy for ap-called moth patches or liver
spots SO commonly seen on the hands
and faces Of older persons?
LILLIAN and BROWNY.
Answer am sorry that / cannot
give a very satisfactory answer to
your question. These dark patches
usally do not respond to freckle reme-
dies unless they are very light. In the
latter case, peroxide will bleach them.
There are stronger bleaches that
beauty specialists use, but l would
not wish TO recommend them for
home use. Another simple remedy for
light moth patches is to wash them in
a strong solution of bicarbonate of
soda, dry and massage with butter
milk or sour milk. Repeat treatment

Beauty to Be Found in Menial Tasks

And so she set about the job with the

that are the essence of artistry In cur
mary matters. Therefore she had 10

This she did so successfully that her
meals were delight to the eye, ana
because this element of beauty was
added to a simple yet plain ana Whoie|
some diet, she won distinct name
for setting a fine table.
An Artistic Meal.
She would serve so ordinary meal
as a Goldfish dinner so that II became
no commonplace meal. Piled on the
platter would be the lightly faxed and
perfectly cooked Goldfish. dotted with
delica tely Drowned cubes Of salt pork.
About the fish would be little potato

parsley, while a sprig or two would
be on top Of the fish. 1t is easy to

meal called for. Her desserts were
a feast to the eye as we'll as a de-
light to the palate.
Beautifying Work
The young woman about whom
have been talking is not merely
fictitious character, but very real
person. She told me one day that.
had it not been for the artistic touches
she could give the home and the
meals, she did not know how she could
have stood the work. However, she
made her. mental tasks an avenue for
the expression of beauty. and she had
an actual pleasure in this.
A Common Opportunity.
Every housewife has this same OPP
portunity and privilege. None of the
things mentioned come outside the
scope of every homemaker and there
are many more avenues in a home
for the applica ton of beauty in little
tasks and in large ways.

Clues to Character
Hands for the Sword.
By J. O. ABERNETHY.

There is close relation between
the mind and the hands. The hand
Is the chief of staff to the brain. The
brain commands and the hands execute.
Thus the hands are organs OF express
sion. The hands are the minds most
useful and honored. servants. They
guide the pen, the tool OF the me-
chanic and the implement OF the
farmer. They feed, clothe and adorn
us.
Man lis distinguished from the ami.
mails chiefly by his hands-especially
the thumb. Only men and monkeys
have thumbs. Monkeys, apes, gorillas
are in a class by themselves, for they
have four thumbs while man has only
two.
Although the hand is not a com.
plete requisite for reading character.
it has It's value. We do not think,
reason or invent because We have
hands; but rather because we do think
reason and invent we have hands.
Long hands indicate power. If they
give you the grasp of friendship or
love, you may depend upon them to
the limit. The long hand Is adapted
for hard work and Is distinguished for
strength: 1t strikes hard blows, isn't
afraid of getting hurt and is not
squeamish about hurting others. 1t
is true in it's affections and terrible
in enmity. The long hand is better
fitted to WELD the sword than the
pen.
