 When the door had closed upon the elevator boys, McMann faced Jack Hayward, his eyes narrowed to glinting gray slits. "Wefi. how about it. Hayward? I suppose you're going to tell me it took yq 10 minutes to find those conveniently forgotten theater tickets"
 Before Jack could answer Patrol man Biggers appeared, with the in- formation that the men from the morgue had arrived to remove the body of the murdered man. Just a minute. Biggers.

RI0T0US PATTERNS ON BATHING SUITS 1929 Beach Girl Will Have to

Paris. Feb. 15.-tP-This years beach girl will have to stay even fur ther away from the water than her predecessors, because her new bath ing suit of printed wool jersey will have yellows, reds and greens stamp ed on it in the general effect of an exploding paint factory.
 Salt water might mar the riotous stamped patterns of springs prof ferred bathing suit patterns. If the modern art ran. the 1929 bathing beauty would look like something left over from the impressionist period of expression.
 Among the quietcr combinations in the wildly colored jersey prints destined for beach coats, sleeveless pullovers and one-piece swimming suits, are riots of crimson. orange and black on white grounds.
 There are three cornered jersey scarves, also gayly printed. in the new seasons sport offerings. These are meant to be worn instead or

cost per month for all four of the
Divisions is about 1925, but this
only includes board and pensions
and not transportation. clothing
or incidental expenses, which Of
course, would materially increase
that figure. However. that is not
excessive for 1872 wards in com
munities so widely scattered as
those in Alaska.
The expenditures that would be
necessary to establish and main
tain an institution fog them. it is
conceded, would be larger. Hor
much is a good deal a matter Of
guesswork as no definite estimates
of probable cost have ever been
worked out. This is a factor that

HANS HOME
PROPOSED FOR
The TERRITORY
Legislature Will Be Asked
to Establish Institu-
ton for Children
BY ]. E. PEeUEs

Has the time come when the
Territory should establish an in
stitution, a sort of combined home
and school, for orphaned children
or children now cared for by the
several boards of childrens guard
ians out of funds appropriated by
the Territorial Legislature?
That is a question that will be
propounded TO the Legislature
which convenes here next March
4. and which it will undoubtedly
be called on to answer. 1t was
put up to the 1927 session but in
rather halfhearted manner and
none was surprised when the an
swer was in the negative. Nobody
expected the bill, seeking to es-
tablish an institution at Goddard's
Sanitarium and to purchase that
establishment, to pass and it
didn't.
More Support This Year
But a similar proposal, possibly
not designating a site however
will be more actively pressed this
year, and it will have some strong
support. Officially it will have
the support of the Territorial
Health Department of which DR.
II. c. DeVighne. of this city, is the
head. 1t is understood that a ma
iority of the deputy Health Com
missioners agree with him on that
subject.
At this time the Territory is
providing for 1872 children either
through the Board of Children's
Guardians in each of the four Di-
visions, or through Mothers Pen
sions." In addition, in the First
Division there are rs other chill
dren whose care is provided by
the Federal Government. How
many, if any, there are receiving
funds from the same source in the
other three Divisions is not known
here.
Many Sent Outside
Many of these are sent to vari-
Gus industrial and training schools
in the States and other institu-
tions. A large percentage of them
never return to the Territory.
In the First Division, the Board
OF Children's Guardians has so
children in its care. OF this
number 80 are being cared for in
schools outside of the Territory.
Tn other words, in this Division
alone Sc of Alaskas future poten-
tial citizens are removed from its
borders during the most formative
period of their lives. OF the so
remaining, the Board has a num-
Der placed with private families
and the others are cared for by
their mothers.
In the Second Division, the
Board there has but two wards
and both are cared for in an In
dustrial Training School maintain
ed by the Federal Bureau of Edu-
cation.
In the Third Division, there are
80 receiving aid from the Terri
tory. Five of them are in the
States and "a remained in the, dis
trict. In the Fourth Division, out
Of 81 receiving aid, but one is in
the States.

Believes Home Needed

DR.. DeVighne. who defends the
need for a children's home. readily
agrees that it will cost IN Terri
tory more to handle the situation
in that manner than is now done.
But. he argues, the difference in
the costs would not be f0rbiddingly
excessive. He is convinced that
by keeping all of its wards within
its borders, Alaska viii gain more
in the consequent upbuilding OF
educated, trained. good citizens
than can be calculated in dollars
and cents, and that the increased
cost necessary ID accomplish this
is more THAI justified should It
be achieved.
There ara other problems that
are involved. OF these two might
be mentioned. First, will it be an
institution for incorrigibles as well
as mere orphans? Second, will it
be limited to children Of white
blood or white and mixed, or open
to everyone regardless of race?
Both of them will be asked in
the Legislature. They are import
ant. They should be settled with
out prejudice, but in the light of
what experience has been had by
other territories and the States in
the past, as well as by actual
knowledge of local conditions in
Alaska.
Eventually the Territory must
provide a Children's Home. Is
the year 1929 that time?
