FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK

The Federal Home Loan Bank Board has determined finally the makeup of the 12 regional bank districts and has fixed the mini mum capital of each regional bank so the new Federal fnan- cial unit for the relief of home owners will start operation with capital of $134,OOO,OOO. Alaska has been assigned to District Nc. II, which includes the states Of Washington, Oregon, I'd ah o, Utah, Montana and Wyoming, together with Alaska. A capital of $6,OOO,0O0 has been assigned TO this district, while the eligible institutions in the district hold approximately $200,0OO,OOO of mortgages of all types. Franklin w. Fort, Board Chairman, an : nounces that it is the definite hope and purpose that every one Of the 12 banks shall be in Op- eration and doing business by Get. 15. It is explained by Board Officials that for obvious reasons no town in Alaska can be select ed as the headquarters for the district, as the city selected will have to meet the needs of the area from the standpoint of transportation and convenience, so that extreme portions of a district will be out of the picture as headquarters. It is under stood that Seattle and Portland are making strong efforts for recognition. IT.

USE LOTS OF JUICE UNCLE SAM NEEDS
 THE DOUGH

"Let there be light, and there was light" So saith the Scrip ture. Uncle Sam goes the Scrip ture one better. t'Let there be light, plenty of it, but after pay ing for the use of it, don't forget your poor uncle needs more dough so plunk up some more tax money to the government monthly for the use of your juice"
 Guess you have all received your electric light and power bill for the month of July. It must lave given you that grand and glorious feeling" We have ours cn the desk before us. The bill lis O. K, with ore exception namely: we have been soaked three per cent of the total a. mount. This three per cent charge represents the new fed eral tax.
 Our estimable Representatives in Congress specifically provid- ed that the tax, which is part of the 1882 revenue law, shall be paid by consumers and not by companies furnishing electrical energy. It is furthermore provid- cd that the tax shall apply to ali charges made for electricity, whether or not such a service IS used. That provision was made so the government would secure tax on flat rates.
 We are not saying anything about the justification of this tax, only just kicking" a little. It appears to us as though Con gress lost sight of the fact, that in taxing the consumer three Ter cent on the total amount of his bill, some states and cities got the worst of the deal, and just why the government should cifferentiate in this matter is hard to understand.
 ] For instance, in our own little Territory citizens of Ketchi- kan, Juneau and Valdez get their juice for three cents a kilowatt Citizens of Fairbanks have to pay IS cents a kilowatt. So we are really taxed six times as much as our sister towns.
 Congress is evidently trying to tax the country into prosperity but at the rate the government has been taxing us we may live to see the day when every pri- 'vate citizen will be carrying one public employee on his back. AL ready taxes are consuming such . large proportion of individual and corporate incorporate in- come as to leave no margin, in many instances, for the accu- mutation of new capital or saw ings.
 There has been some short sighted tax legislation passed at Washington. If 1t keeps up how

GLORIFYING

BUY YOUR HAIR A GOOD
 BRUSH
By AIicis Hart

This applies 10 your coiffure, as much as 1t does to sewing or bak- ing q cake.
 First of all, in order to have your hair look it's best thiy year you need an excellent brush. Not one that just touches tho outside of your hair in gentle manner. What you really want Is a deep bristled brush that will lift your hair up from your scalp and pene- trate to the roots of even very thick hair.
 There are many kinds of excel lent brushes on the market. Get one that has very long bristles and one that Is fairly stiff. Such brushes are not cheap. But money spent on good brush is money put into the bank of beauty. It will last a long time and bring you cx- cellent returns.
 Second, you need scalp oil, preferably olive oil. to be used be- fore shampooing. Third, you need q good tonic. one that can be used without having to shampoo your hair oftcner than once a week This means one without much oil.
 Last, you need an atomizer to apply the lotion that you use to whip your curls or waves into place. There is no way compar- able to the even manner in which an atomizer puts this on. Just enough for managing your hair, no more, no less. This costs little and no one should be without it.
 Of course you need such n lotion for your hair and in addition, just q few drops of brllliantine every time you fix your hair. This puts that fine last luster on your hair that gives you reputation for chic.
 If you set your waves yourself, of course you will need, fin addi- ton to these fundamental acces- sories, pins. combs, n net cap and other gadgets that go with the wave.
 But. all told, this Is not a large expenditure for good looking hair. ever before, is your crown of glory. Remember the hair, more than Or should be!

 ''I told her some of that" said Sally.

But you see she is afraid that a cream feeds blackheads and serve no good pur- pose."
 'Tell her Sally. that pure pas- teurized cream is one cream that actually benefits an oily skin. Beau ty grains will cleanse and stimu- late; the cream will soothe.

The common cold is one of the most prevalent ills in the United States. with one-third of the pop ulation being afflicted with one or more colds during the course of the year, according to a survey of recent facts and figures.

When she gets nervous she can't do a thing. After the trouble you had this morning she didn't eat bite of lunch"
 An "Old Story" to Teacher
 Now Miss Field has had several years experience with anxious mothers. She knew all about Laura, too, how she got nervous every time she did not get her own way.
 It had been about passing the paint boxes. Laura was monitor but she was talking when tho sig nal was given and hadn't seen it, so she, Miss Field. had silently motioned to the girl behind to do Laura's work.
 When Laura saw another taking her place she turned very req. When it came to draw she couidn't pick up pencil. When the ch.i- dren began to color their drawings she sat stiffly erect and did not even open her paint box.
 Miss Field let her alone. She did not say q word or pay any at tention. By dismissal time, Laura. finding that her ruse had not worked, and that she was not att tracting the notice she had ox- pected, suddenly burst into tearf.
 Back Comes Mamma
 She cried copiously in ranks, conspicuously all the way home. and hysterically after she got into the house. Now mother and daugh- ter were back at school.

 Mrs Smith, perhaps Laura Is nervous, but if she Is, you are only making 1t worse by talking of it in her hearing. Does she stop eat ing often? In other words does she get pretty much her own way?t
 "Oh, yes, l have to be careful. too. And have to ask everyone else to be. Nobody understands her--she is so high strung and temperamental.
