During 1928 they increased rapidly in number, capital and scope and be- came for the first time, in this country, at least, an important factor in stock market operations Frequently the recovery of sag ging markets could be ascribed to purchases by these organizations. They have, however, yet to face the test of real bear market.
 The code of the security com missioners' association provides in brief that securities offered by in- vestment trusts be marketable and negotiable by endorsement, that executive personnel have clear record and good reputation for business ability, as well as a per sonal investment in the trust, and that definite provision be made for making public the trusts if nancial position and record.

BRAZILIAN WOMEN CAST
 AWAY OLD RESTRAINTS
By CHARLES S. SMITH (Chief of Foreign Service, Asso-
 eiated Press)

RIO DE JANEIRO, Feb. 21.- Women in the commercial cities of Brazil have escaped completely from their cloistered past. There are no more barred windows in Brazil suggestive of Portugal or Spain and no swains chant their love songs from the street.
 Brazil is the New World. It's women do not wear black gowns and black wells, and there are no women with lace shawls over their heads.
 The ancestors of Brazilian women from the Mediterranean countries and Central Europe may have chung to European customs when they first came to South America. But, this generation has shaken off all Old World tram mels and seized the freedom of a new era.
 Bobbed hair, short skirts, snake-skin slippers and small felt hats-in spite of the brilliant sun are seen everywhere. Smart girls drive their own sport cars. Women ride cross saddle on the bridle paths along the beautiful beaches.
 There is mixed bathing every where along Rios miles of ocean front, and the costumes are just the same as one sees at the Lido or Atlantic City.

Rasmuson Doesn't Hesitate
 To Say He Likes Wrangell

E. A. Rasmuson, president of the Bank of Alaska, arrived on the Aleutian Wednesday afternoon for a brief business visit. MT. Ras- muson says that he finds a very different feeling in Wrangell in a business way than has prevailed for some time. People generally, he believes, feel that the business depression is at an end and the town is on the upgrade to prosper ous times.
 Mir. Rasmuson bases his belief of the soundness of the town on the quality of It's citizens. He says there is a wholesomeness in family and community life prevailing here that gives Wrangell a distinct per sonality and makes it a delightful place to come to.
 Mrs. Rasmuson is returning to Alaska early next month. During the past winter she has been living in Cambridge, Mass, with their son, Elmer Rasmuson, who is a jun for at Harvard. Their daughter is now doing graduate work at Chica- go University on a scholarship. She straining for social service work and living at one of the Hull houses while in Chicago. Both of the Ras- muson young people are Alaska born, the daughter having been born in Sitka and the son in Yaku- tat.
