vinced that most of Jim's grous- ing about her food was merely for the effect, but tonight she wasn't sure; there was a taut expression about Jim's mouth.
 And after an hour of bridge Sal was even more doubtful. Jim's face was growing steadily paler: he was missing tricks, overlooking his hands-something unprecedented in Jim. Add then came the climax. Jim reeled from his chair, num- bled something about a glass of water" and fell over on the floor in dead faint.
 "Oh!" cried Sal, and she sat wringing her hands. Not 50 Ma risse Thorne. With one bound Ma risse was at Jim's side, loosening his collar, shouting for a glass of water, for smelling salts. 
 Sal forgot her worries about Jim as she ran from here to there | around the house, doing Marisse's bidding. She was furious that Ma | risse should have taken charge of the situation while she, Sal, sat by helpless. She told herself that she recented Marisse's ordering her about, but deep inside she realized 1 the truth-what she resented was really Marisse's capability, | In no time at all Marisse's min- istrations had taken effect. Jim lay resting peacefully in bed, smiling his gratitude-not at Sal, but at Marisse.
 Better take tomorrow of, Jim, 7 his boss boomed as he and Marisse took their leave. Looks like you've | been overworking."
 But Jim shook his head. Don't need to now. sir. Not after the way your wife fixed me up." He smiled good-by, and Sal saw the Thornes to the door. She dreaded this farewell, dreaded the look of contempt she fully expected from Marisse. She was thoroughly un- prepared for the shock Marisse's last words gave her.

"It's wonder Jim can't under stand how hate to cook" Sal was murmuring to herself as she gave the living room a final bit of dusting before her guests came ia for the evening. She looked at her hands proudly. They were beauti- ful, white and unwrinkled. ! And I'm going to keep them that way, too," she assured herself. NO hot grease or boiling water for me-"
 Meanwhile Jim was stretched out on the davenport, grooming to him. self over tonight's supper. Canned salmon popped up with lettuce and sliced lemon! What a meal to hand hard working guy when he's just aching for a juicy steak smothered in onions and a piece of honest-to-gosh pie" An involuntary groan escaped him. "Or was aching for pie" he amended, one hand caressing his stomach. Now I'm just aching"
 The Wards had finished a gloomy meal, with Jim criticizing the food and telling Sal how worn out he was. She in turn recounted how she had just about run her legs off downtown looking for bargains. And if he weren't so alarmed stingy and had more ambition and tried to get a better job she wouldn't have to pinch pennies so.
 Why don't you hire a cook any, way?" she concluded.
 That was too much for Jim. He retired in painful dignity to the davenport.
 Sal finished her dusting and then arranged 8 few jonquils in her fa- vorite little powder-blue vase on the gate-lee table. She loved beauty, and she wanted the house to look its best tonight for the evening of bridge. She'd show Ma risse Thorne that she was a good housekeeper.
 Marisse was Jim's boss wife, and only a few years older than Sal herself. She held the weight of authority in the Thorne house. hold; if Sal made a good impress sion with her tonight, their first visit, Jim would be sitting pretty with Dave Thorne at the office.
 Flows 1t look?" she asked. No answer: Jim was asleep.
 'Just like a man," thought Sal. "They can sleep off anything" And she leaned back to rest her own head. She was tired, and almost at once she too was dozing.
 She dreamed of her sweetheart days with Jim. She was sitting on his lap in the old needlepoint arm chair at home. Jim was admiring her lovely hands, telling her how he would always keep them beau tiful.
 He was saying, "Sal, dear, I'm so darned jealous even of that old typewriter of yours! I want your hands all for myself"
 Then bending his head, he smil- ed down at her with those beloved gray eyes of his. Time itself halt ed when Jim kissed her
 What's that!" Sal blurted out as she awoke with start.
 It was Jim groaring, Gosh, Sal. I've got a heck of a pain right here" pointing at his stomach.

 Juneau Requests


 SEATTLE, May 14.-For the first time since the Government home loans have been m de available through the Home Owners Loan association, the state office has talk en definite action on Alaska appli- cations.
 Twenty-Five loans out of forty have been approved and the oth- CTS disapproved.
 The action paves the way for a definite settlement of delinquent home mortgage situations in Alaska, which considered the elapsed time since the applications were sent here, have proved bothersome. The applications have been pending for more than one year.
 Of the applications approved, 19 are from Ketchikan, three from Ju- neau and three from Petersburg. The average loan is for $2,000.
 Officials said the distance of the applicants from the local office has caused delay in ob- taining the requisite information and making appraisals.

PARIS, May 14.-Prices in France, higher than in any other country except Soviet Russia, are still in the stratosphere despite govern mental efforts to bring them down to the level of consumers pocket books. 4
 2 The high cost of living has been one of the major arguments of a small but active group of inflation- ists headed by Paul Reynaud, who insist that only devaluation of the franc will bring back tourists and prosperity to France.
 But the government, inclined to fight shy of cure-alls, tried to at tack the evil at it's roots. When Gaston Doumergue headed the na- tional truce government of 1884 he promised relief from high prices and delegated Edouard Herriot and Am are Tardieu to study the question.

 FORUNWERSITY SEEMS LIKELY
Dr. Bunnell Is Optimistic Over Outlook for Agri-
 cultural Research

Optimism for the passing of Na- tional legislation which would give the University of Alaska an inn mediate additional $l5,000 a year for agricultural research and ex- tension service, and eventually an annual amount of $95,000 year in 1947, was expressed today by pr. Charles E. Bunnell, President of the University, while the Alaska, on which he is enroute to Fairbanks, was in port.
 Dr. Bunnell appeared before the Bureau of Budget prior to his leav- ing Washington, D. O., and pre- sented a strong case for the in- clusion of Alaska, in the several acts which give additional aid to the agricultural departments of col leges and universities in the States and Territories. Delegate Dimond has a bill pending to bring this about, and providing the Bureau of the Budget approves, pr. Bun- nell feels certain. the provisions will extend to Alaska, in which case the service of the agricultural depart ment of the Alaska institution would be greatly increased in re- search, extension service, and at the experimental stations at Mata- nuska and Fairbanks
 Mueeum To Help
 While in Washington, D. C., Dr. Eunnell made arrangements where by the American Museum of Ma tural History will pay half the sal ary of an anthropologist to be sta toned at the University and also was advised that the museum would continue the chronological work, which has been directed from the University.
 Scientists were much elated, Dr. Bunnell said, with the 1000 speci- mems of arrow heads, clippings, hammer heads and other stone age specimens which were discovered recently within 100 yards of the entrance to the college. These were said to be identical with specimens found in the Gobi Desert, in Mon golia, and the only specimens of their kind ever found on the Am erican continent Another scientific link which strengthens the theory of the early migration from Asia to this continent.

 The Carnegie Institute will send several new instruments to the Uni versity to be used in experiments following up those recorded during the Polar Year.
 The position of Dean of the School of Mines, left vacant by the the resignation of Dean Ernest N Patty, who will enter the commer- cial mining field, has not been filled, Dr. Bunnell said today.
