The normal seasonal increase in
egg prices is starting now. The
price of eggs can be expected to in
crease week by week for from sixty
to ninety days. The poultryman who
gets the greatest profit from this
will have his pullets into a good
production by October l.
In order to secure this good pro-
ductiOn the first step is to get these
pullets into their permanent laying
quarters about the time they begin
to lay a few eggs. February and
March hatched pullets should be
housed early in September and all
pullets should be housed by October

E. J. Bowling was low bidder on the main approach to the Douglas bridge. tenders on which were sop- ened today at local headquarters of the Alaska Road Commission. The bid was $8,080, with a unit bid of 38 cents per cubic yard on l8,000 yards of fill rock.
 No award of the bids was made today it was announced by flaw ley Sterling, assistant chief engin- eer. The bids, he said, were wired to Chief Engineer Ike Taylor at Nome.
 It is up to MT. Taylor to decide whether to award the contract to MT. Cowling or to do the work by day labor. MT Sterling indicated that it might be possible to save 25 per cent on the job if it were done by day labor. The bids, he said, were somewhat higher than costs on similar work recently done by the city and also higher than the Willoughby Avenue job done 1 last winter Other bidders were {: Cash Cole. s9,l68; George L. Ibert- son, s9,634; and Hildre Brothers, $l0,919.

PROMOTING BOOTLEGGING.

The object of the City Council in the proposed enactment of ordinance regulating the liquor and beer traffic is declared to be to empower the municipal court to try persons accused of violating the regulations of the Territorial Board of Liquor Control. To that end it proposes to re-enact all of the regulations of the Board Without ordi- nance on the subject it is said the City Council has been advised cases arising from arrests by the municipal police officers would have to be tried in the Federal courts and any fines imposed sequently go into the Federal treasury. It is but natural for the City to want jurisdiction inasmuch as it has to do the policing and bear the cost of police work.
 However, in the proposed ordinance the Council would go beyond simple re-enactment of the Boards regulations In section seven of the ordiance intro duced last Friday night, stores selling alcoholic liquor required to remain closed between l am. and am. The Control Boards regulations permit them to remain open at all hours It considered this phase of the regulations at some length. In the end it concluded that to limit the hours of sales would merely put a handicap legitimate business and encourage bootlegging Undoubtedly that is correct It would do so in any community, and particularly in community whose principal industry is 24-hour basis
 The Alaska Juneau's employment lists carry than 700 persons. Probably ne-third of them work on the afternoon shift. They get to town about midnight. By the time they have cleaned up and get downtown, it is after They sleep during the morning hours and gos back to work in the afternoon. If they want liquor, they would have to get it from the bootegger.
 Since the resumption of the legal sale of liquor, local stores have remained open after l So far as is known, that has not affected in the least degree the moral tone of the community. It has, however, reduced bootlegging to marked degree. Of course, there is bootlegging still going But it is the result of high prices for legal liquor Until these more reasonable shall continue to have bootlegging. But the Council ought not to adopt regulations that will penalize the legitimate business who is paying taxes and license fees
 Section six is also unsound and unreasonable. It is said that it conforms to the Boards regula- tions. It prohibits restaurants from selling draft beer with meals after 1 am. while they are per mitted to beer in uncapped bottles" Such a regulation merely makes it more expensive for those who want glass of beer with meals to get it. They have to buy a bottle instead of a glass. Why it should be illegal to beer from keg but legal to serve it from a bottle is impossible to under stand. Even if the Boards regulations make such

PRESIDENT EARNS VACATION.

The entire Nation will rejoice that President Roosevelt find time for vacation trip that will take him far away Hawaii. Alaskans his warmest admirers will regret that he cannot find enough of it to visit them and see for himself this great fronterland which is just beginning to experience development permanent basis On his journey the Pacific Ocean to Honolulu, MT. Roosevelt will leave behind him his secretariat and get away from the corps of newspaper cor respondents that usually accompany Chief Execu- tive when he goes vacationing as well when he labors
 If any in the United States has earned the right to complete rest and relaxation from official duties freedom from worries and chance to retreat from the public gaze for while, that man is President Roosevelt The demands upon his genius, his time his energy and his strength have been enormous since he took office In the past few months he has had to deal with Congress, to intervene in industrial and labor diff ferences, to take hand in international problems well domestic issues It is almost miraculous that he has through in fine condition as he has. Next winter his problems will be almost as numerous and serious as those of the past l5 months The Honolulu trip is just the thing to prepare him for long grind ahead.

PENSION FUNDS SUIT PUT OVER

Judge Alexander Continues Hearing in Demmert
 Suit for One Week

Hearing of the suit of Charles Demmert, Indian buSness man oi Klawock. against Walstein G. Smith Territorial Treasurer, for an injunc- tion to prevent him from making further payment out of Territorial pension funds was continued today by Federal Judge George F. Alex ander until 2 p. m. Monday. July 2nd. The case was originally set to be heard at 10 a. m. today and was carried over another week when w. L. Paul, counsel for Dem- inert, was unable to appear.
 The action was brought on June IS at which time a temporary in- Junction to stop further pension disbursements pending outcome of the suit was sought. Judge Alex ander refused to grant it.
 The complaint alleges that all the pension payments and disburse- ments from these funds are ille- gal, and that the laws under which payments are made are invalid on account of the proviso that ex- cludes from participation in them all persons who are eligible for re- lief from the Department of In terior. The funds sought to be tied up are: Care of dependent children, including allowances te mothers and other incidental ex- penses; allowances for certain aget

Another American Triumph.
Manchester. Eng. Guardian.l


 Soon we shall be driven to the conclusion that there is more in the United States supremacy at golf than can be accounted for by any tradition of working at the game instead of playing it.; there must be something in the air of the North American continent that throws up super golfers as rapidly as blackberries in less-favored climes. Bobby" Jones is out of the amateur running but less instantly there emerges what seems, from the accounts of Saturdays play in the final of the Amateur Golf Championship at Prest- wick, to be sort of super-Jones in the twenty three-year- old Lawson Little who beat James Wallace by the tremendous margin of fourteen holes up and thirteen to play. In the ordinary way might have been little doubtful about the ability of Wallace the shipyard worker of Troon, who forged to the front so brilliantly in the earlier rounds of the championship, to stand up to the strain of the final match for those who arrive suddenly in the major golfing contests are always liable to sudden descent in the last stage. Saturday; he just fearfuly and wonderfully outplayed by who is seven years his junior and who began his golf a child of seven Neither Wallace nor anybody else could do anything against golf like Lawson Little played 66 for the first eighteen holes, six strokes better than the par for the course. There is nothing to be done about 1t except to salute the emergence of another won derfu golfer from country which to produce them just as often and rapidly as they may be required But perhaps in some parts of the West of Scotland some people may have been asking themselves two questions last weekend why they bothered to invent golf and why Columbus troubled to discover America

a distinction the City ordinance ought not to make the same error.
 Liquor regulation requires serious study. The system have is not yet two months old It ought to be given a chance to be tried out thor oughly before we undertake to change it. Too much regulation is bad too little. Regulations that do not comport with public opinion are worse than useless They cannot be enforced and merely bring reasonable regulations into dsrepute. Any ordinance the City passes ought to be enacted with these conditions in mind

Too many lines crossing the
surface of a frock are also bad
for the big-as-a-minute woman,
since they tend to cut down her
already none-too-ample area.
The great open spaces Of fash
ion are better for her. For ex-
ample, an all-over frock Of one
color is more becoming than
bright-topped frock with a dark
skirt. # you must have color
contrast, put it into the blouse
you wear under a matching
Jacket and SKIRT.
Accessories that are too large
or too heavy also tend to bury
the smaller woman beneath
their weight. A single strand OF
pearls or a pendant on a chain
is more suited to her petite
charm than a massive necklace
or many bracelets.

At the moment, the smart
thing to do is to blend the new
with the old. This must be
cleverly and beautifully done,
of course. But it's most effective
when you hit on a happy
scheme.
Great Simplicity
There are certain periods in
the past that seem to go natu-
rally with modern decoration,
and when you see a room with
careful blending it's sometimes
hard to tell just what belongs to
what period.
Empire Directoire and Regen-

with modern furnishings. They
all have certain things in COM
mon, such as straight, flat lines.
sometimes a square look, and
great simplicity.
Lighting Important
Usually the best way to mix
the periods is to have q COM
plete1y modern interior, with
lighting fixtures, window treat
ments, and rugs all in modern
style.
Walls should be rather plain,
or at least done in a very sim
pie way. Then modern pieces
Of furniture can be used with
pieces from one of the above
mentioned periods, and small
art objects or decorative pieces
can be in the same spirit.
Bedroom First
In Washington you will find
that most people are going at
this modern decoration grad
ually. They will start with one
room, usually a bedroom, and
they will have it as purely mod
ern as possible.
Then they will try a living
room or dining room. Most OF
them catch the modern spirit so
thoroughly that they do the
whole house as fast as they
possibly can.
Talent Available

see one occasionally. But many

Stars Of Screen
Give Beauty
Hints
BY LISA DUMONT

Most women who are inter
eSted at all in trying new beauty
treatments are eager to learn
the beauty secrets Of prominent
movie stars.
And so for the benefit Of this
group we are publishing today
a few new notes, fresh from
Hollywood, which we consider
very practical hints.
Facial Packs
It is said that Dorothy Lee
makes her own facial packs.
She allows a bowl full Of oats
to soak for Is minutes in q
small amount Of warm water.
The pasty concoction which re-
suits is placed on her face with
cool water.
She says that this treatment
gives her face a fresh and vital
appearance. And we personally
know that it is beneficial to the
skin.
Good old-fashioned mutton
tallow is recommended by zasu
Pitts as a sure cure for chapped
lips or hands. Simmer pure
mutton fat in water, allow it to
cool and skim off the snowy
tallow.
Hair Care
However often you shampoo
your hair in the summer, wash
it twice as often in the winter
if you want it to be beautiful,
says Katharine Hepburn. The
reason is that you are indoors
more and wear hats more per-
sistently and as result the
hair becomes soiled and lacks
lustre.
Bathing the eyes with warm
salt and water will rest them
and restore their sparkle after
a day of eye strain or bad
headache, says June Brewster.
It is best to use an eyecup
for the treatment.
If the hot-air dryer is in
clined to dry your skin, rub
some good nourishing cream

who is the idol Of masculine
Sentimentalists.
All-American sweethearts of
the stage and screen are Of
this type-short, slim and
petite. And though the Lillipu-
tian lady may have shed many
a secret tear over her tiny
stature, she can be sure that
her more stately sister has
often erfvied. her diminutive
charm.
Period FrOckS
If you're one Of the short,
slim sisterhood, your great OPP
portunity in life is the demure
daintiness your small size en-
ables you to affect. Period
frocks, with their drop-shoulder
decolettages and fluffy skirts,
best illustrate your particular
forte.
Your great danger, however, Is
that the very same slightnesS of
figure, which can be so charm
ing when properly played up,
can also cause you to sink into
insignificance. That is why a
flash of color, a dash of clever
detail, is often just the thing
for the little lady-it gives the
necessary pep to a petiteness
that might otherwise be lost in
the shuttle.
Bright and light colors also
have a way Of adding to ap-
parent size, which is another
reason for the small woman to
wear them. So be bright about
your colors and daring about
your details-but not so much
so that they overpower your own
personality.
Soft COiffures
A fox furp1ece Is less deSlr-
able than long scarf Of several
smaller skins like mink or
marten. And the dainty frilled
or f1uted lingerie collars now in
vogue are far more flattering
than an bulky cape collar.

How well I recall the sinking
feeling in my heart when I
brought my own first baby home
from the hospital. I had read
books in the months before on

really thought I knew something
on the subject.
Unprepared
1t wasn't until I was home
from the hospital with him that
it dawned on me how utterly u1'
prepared I was to meet the sit
uation.
Here I was, a more or less IN.
telligent person, but what did
I know about babies? My own
was practically the first I had
ever touched. I had picked up
my friends babies. Gingerly
and secretly hoping someone
would hurry and take 'em away
from me.
And here 1 was with one Of
my own, entirely dependent
upon me. Dependent upon me
for life itself. The biggest job
I had ever faced. And I knew
not one thing about 1t.
Girls Don't Know
I agree with my doctor. It is
criminal to permit girls to grow
up in such absolute ignorance
on the subject.
No one would think Of permit
ting them to take on any other
job without any training what
soever. In almost any profession
or trade the novice has to serve
an apprenticeship.
There is no apprenticeship for
motherhood. The first baby is
just as important (and even
more so) as his successors. And
yet most of us learn" on our
first. Usually to the great dis
advantage of said infant.
Biggest Job
Why do educators so entirely
ignore this phase Of feminine
education? It wouldn't hurt
boys, either, to know a little
about the job of parenthood. In
these modern days fathers and
mothers share in the response
bility of child care and training.
Some tentative efforts are
being made, I understand, in
other cities to train girls for
motherhood. But the efforts

they aren't outside.
It's a wise idea to have a
decorator help you, if you don't
feel capable of doing your
house or apartment yourself.
It takes an enormous amount Of
study and talent to do it right.
But most stores have decora-
tors or competent people to
help you free of charge, so don't
be discouraged If you are not up
on periods yourself, but would
like a change.
