Dear Betsy CaSwell:
Please tell me the name Of
a shop where the salesman
really knows something about
the wines he is trying to sell.
I have bought several bottles
on the clerks recommendation,
and they have all been terrible.
Somebody should educate these
people. "ANNOYED.
I don't blame you for being
annoyed. If you will telephone
me, or write again, enclosing
stamped, self-addressed envelope,
I shall be glad to tell you OF an
excellent wine shop, where the
clerks do know their business.
Dear Miss CasWell:
Will you publish a list of
the dogs that are best to have
around children? My little
boy has set his heart on a
puppy but I am afraid of most
dogs, and want gentle kind.
MRS. ISAAC w.
I'm sorry, but that is out
OF nv line. suggest that
you write to The Times Pet
Editor, and ask her for the
information.
Dear Betsy CasWell:
Does it look better for me
to order wine when I go out
with a gentleman than if I ask
for a high-ball? I don't like
wine, and I like high-ballS very
much, but think maybe it is
not so ladylike.
ANNA MARY.
What you order, seems to
me, to be a matter of personal
preference. However, I do think
that high-ball drinking by
women in public is not par
t1cularly charming or feminine
looking.

Dear Betsy Caswell:
What shall 1 do about ash
trays at the table? I have no
silver ones, and odd ones look
so funny placed all around.
What would you suggest?
MRS. JENNIE B.
Any good china shop will be
sure to have sets of matching
clear crystal ash trays, which
will always look we'll on the
table. If you want to spend
little more money on them, 1
would suggest that you buy
plain crystal ones, and have
them monogrammed.
Dear Betsy CaSwell:
How should a big jar Of
caviar be served? mean the
expensive kind, with the large,
gray eggs. JANE A.
The jar of caviar should be
packed in ice, in a large bowl,
or regular caviar container.
This should be passed first, with
a scoop or flat spoon with
which to serve oneself.
After this, should be passed
a plate of dry, paper-thin toast,
and small dish of quartered
lemons, with a companion piece
of finely chopped hard-boiled
eggs. Small serving spoons
should accompany these.
The guest spreads the caviar
on the toast, bit by bit, with a
butter spreader, squeezeS lemon
Juice over the top, and adds a
small portion of the eggs, if de-
sired.

CAPITOL SHOW IS BORzACE'S
 BEST JOB YET
Mans s Castle" Hailed as Seventh Heaven of
 Talking Pictures


 Out of the squalor and tawdry- ness of shantytown, director Frank Borzage has woven a love story that is certainly the greatest achievement in a career that em- braces many, many screen tri-- umphs. The picture, Mans Cas- tle," already hailed as the "Sev- enth Heaven" of talking pictures, is now on view at the Capitol Theatre.
 Mans Castle" is the story of a man who couldn't hear train whis- ties without wanting to hop a freight-and of a girl who loved him so strongly she told him he was free to go. Spencer Tracy as the boy and Loretta Young as the girl have never been cast in roles so perfectly suited to their indi- vidual talents. They perform ad- mirably and contribute the finest portrayalS of their respective ca reers. As for Borzage's direction, it suffices to say that he surpasses in poignancy, sincerity and beauty his direction of Seventh Heaven, . Bad Girl" and Farewell to Arms. .
 The supporting cast is superb down to the smallest bit player. It includes Marjorie Rambeau, Walter Connolly, Glenda Farrell, Arthur Hohl, and Dickie Moore. Jo Swer- ling adapted the story to screen form from Lawrence Hazards orig inal story and turned in an excel lent script.

DAVIS IS, STAR FOR FIRST
 TIME,C0L|SEUM
'Ex-Lady'' Opens Tonight for Two-Day Run-Gene
 Raymon in Male Lead

A cosmopolitan, sophisticated at mosphere provides the background for the film which marks the rise of blonde Bette Davis to stardom. Her tremendous success in pictures during the past year resulted in Warner Bros. giving her the star ring role in "Ex-Lady," which opens today at the Coliseum Theatre, with Gene Raymond in the sup porting role.
 Her pert and vivacious manner, coupled with her own type of charm, is given as the reason why "Ex-Lady" was considered as ideal for her first starring vehicle.
 The story is laid in the environ ment of New York's Bohemia = the colorful atmosphere of the ar tist colony with other scenes laid in Havana casinos and night clubs. Against this shifting scene is played the story of two young peo- pie, each with a career and with advanced ideas which make love and marriage more of a problem to them than it is to workaday folk Their solution provides the story with a clever and novel cli- max.

BOARD DECIDES
 WILL CONTINUE
 PAY BUS COSTS
No Change to Be Made at Present in Transporta-
 ton of School Pupils

After an extended discussion with a committee representing residents along Glacier Highway relative to the proposed creation of a taxable school district there to defray ex- penses of transporting pupils to the local Public Schools, the Territorial Board of Education last night de- cided to abandon it's declared in tention of creating that form of organization at this time. Practical difficulties, it was said, made it impossible to put the plan into operation.
 Last year, the Board, to carry out the expressed wishes of the Legislature, announced that the Territory would not defray trans portation costs of pupils residing close to incorporated towns. Its funds for that purpose were re- duced materially by the 1883 Leg islature.
 Put Up to Residents
 Under the school acts passed by that body, the Board was given authority to provide for the crea- tion of school districts which should be required to defray transportation costs. In keeping with that idea, the Board fixed the current school year as the last for which it would pay such charges.
 The matter has been considered very seriously by the residents along the Highway and a canvass made of the views obtaining among them. The committee last night told the Board it would not be possible to obtain a majority of the voters there to approve the incorporation
The Daily Alaska empire., 1934-05-10

of the district and that there would be no regular means of transpor- tation next year if the plan were put into execution.
 Will Allot Funds
 In view of this condition, rather than disorganize the present sys- tenn, the Board today announced that it's funds would be prorated and transportation arranged for until the Legislature meets. This occurs early in January and funds will be ample to carry on until that time.
 It is probable the Board will recommend to the Legislature that the law be amended to provide that central incorporated school districts can be created which will embrace the city schools and the immed- lately adjacent areas into a single unit. This will permit the levying of a separate school tax for the entire central district and put the whole area on an equal basis.
 Studying High Schools
 The question of providing high school facilities for communities with sufficient population to in- corporate but which refuse to do so is under consideration now by the Board. No definite action has yet been taken.
 Last year the Board adopted a policy of requiring their incorpora- tion so that at least small DOT tion of the educational burde n could be assumed by the com munities rather than saddled en- tirely upon the. Territory.

 BAY AT GODDARD'S

Louis Valier, better known in in terior Alaska as French Louis, ' a resident of the Pioneers Home at Sitka for some time, was found dead at Goddards Springs early this month, according to word re- ceived by Gov. John w. Troy from Filler Hansen, Superintendent of the Institution.
