The following letter was receiV- ed by Amer Rydeen. Clerk of the Court for the Second Division, from John E. Pegues, Director of the Fed eral Housing Administration, Jun eau Alaska regarding the details of the plan to help Alaskans improve and renoVate their homes. Follow ing is the letter:
 Juneau, February IA, 1885. Amer Rydeen, Nome Alaska.
 Dear Sir:
 Since you were one of those un- fortunate enough to lose their homes in the recent fire which did so much damage to Nome, it occurred to me that it might be of interest to you to learn how the National Hous- ing Act could be of assistance to you in building a new home or repairing your former residence, if it were completely destroyed.
 The National Housing Act is div ided into two parts-the first hav- ing to do primarily with improve ment and repair of existent homes, and the second providing means whereby persons of average income may now quite easily obtain money to construct new homes.
 Money for these purposes comes from private financial institutions, but credit is much easier than here tofore by reason of the fact that the Federal Housing Administration un- dertakes to insure, and does insure, such institutions against loss.
 Under Title l it is provided that an owner of home may apply to an approved bank for sum not in excess of $2000 and not less than $100 for making repairs. This mon- ey is obtained on a promissory note, and the Federal Housing Administ- ration does not require that there be any endorsers on that note. Neith- CT it is necessary for the borrower to offer his home or any other pro- perty he may possess as security. In other words, the bank approves or disapproves the loan solely on the credit rating of the applicant and, of course, it follows that since the Federal Housing Administration is insuring the bank against loss, it will now be able to make small loans of this character where it could not do so before.
 Moreover, there is another provl- sion in this modernization program that means much to the borrower. He repays the loan over a period, between one and five years, which may be agreed upon, and you will see the advantages that come to him through that regulation. Pre- viously of course it was not possible for banks to write promissory not es for any extended period, but the National Housing Act changed all that with respect to this type of loan.
 The Federal Housing Administra ton also establishes the interest rate which the lending institution may charge, and l think you would be interested in knowing that Alaskans do not have to pay any more than residents of continental United Stat es. It is provided that the financial institution may not collect as inter- est and-or discount and-or fee of any kind, total charge in excess of an amount equal to $5 discount per $100 original face amount of one year note to be paid in equal mon- thly installments. It is intended that whenever possible these loans shall be repaid in monthly install ments since banking experience

(By The Associated Press)

DAYTONA BEACH, Florida, March - Sir Malcolm Campbell drove his huge Blue Bird' racing car at a speed of 267.816 miles an hour, Thursday, which is a new worlds record, but still short of his goal of three hundred miles an hour. The past record was made by Campbell two years ago and was 272 108 miles an hour.

shows that this is the surest way to retire a small loan There are, however exceptional cases where the income of the borrower is en- tirely on a seasonal basis, and it would be difficult if not impossible to make payments each month. Per sons falling within this category are taken care of by a regulation which enables the bank to collect on quarterly, semi-quarterly, semi annually or even annual install ments.
 This type of loan you may care to know, will be made on business properties as well as homes.
 There is another regulation with reference to the modernization pro- gram which out to be especially ap- pealing to residents of Nome. That is the one providing that if anyone owns ground, or holds sufficient tit le to it he may make a moderniza- tion loan for the construction of a new residence. It IS quite eonceiV- able that the $2,000 maximum loan which can be made would be suffi- cient in some cases to erect the type of home a small family might desire, or a loan might be obtained and the money secured thereby added to other funds already possessed or ob- tained elsewhere by the potential builder in the erection of his new home.
 However, 1t is contemplated that Title ? can be of especial help to Nome in view of the fact that so much home building will occur there within the next few months Title 2 sets up mutual mortgage insur- ance system. Under its terms it is possible to borrow up to $16,000 for maximum period of 20 years for construction of family dwellings, housing from one to four families. Approved institutions are empower ed to lend up to 80e6 of the apprais- ed value of the completed property As security for the loan the banks hold mortgages on the property winch is constructed with the mon ey thus obtained For the use of the money borrowed, the home builder pays a basic simple inter est charge of 5f6, plus a possible service charge to the bank of 12 of 1%o and in addition P of 1 Q in surance premium which goes to the Federal Housing Administration An amortization schedule is set up in each case so that the borrower pays off his mortgage at an agreed month ly rate, which is the same for the entire period during which the bank holds the mortgage.
 Doubtless the four outstanding parts of this plan have already pre- sented themselves to you. First, mortgages on homes may be written for period as long as twenty years, which is much longer than the practice has been up to this time Second, one may now obtain as much as 309o of the money needed for building instead of the 40P6 or 5096, or less which lending institu- tions had been in the practice of al lowing on first mortgages. Third, certain provision is made for the re- tirement of the mortgage by reason of the fact that payments are made monthly. Fourth, interest rates for home construction will be on a greatly lower level than ever before in Alaska.
 There is still another benefit which ought to be cited. In all prob ability the insurance premium paid

n VOW that Summer Is upon US
N some problems present them
selves that did not bother us
= before, and one of these is a
shining countenance, not from the
sheer JOY of living, but because all
the makeup has either disappeared
completely or become gummed up
since We started out so gayly from
home. This is one Of the bugaboos
of Summer, and unless you have an
exquisite complexion, velvety as the
skin of baby, it is your problem, too.
A very clever man, who has been
working with the science of make
up for the past 20 years. has perfected
a foundation cream which allows the
perspiration to pass through it, with
the makeup remaining intact. 1t
even permits you to freshen up your
face with dash Of cold water,
wiping it off with tissues and leaving
the original foundation, over which
you may add a little fresh powder
What a boon to the business grill
y X
MAKEUP should always have
background, or color founda-
ton, and for this purpose the foun-
dation cream comes in three colors,
flesh, natural and rachelle, to blend
with. and give faint color tone to
the skin. 1t must be lighter than
your powder to produce the proper
effect. At the same time this foun-
dalton cream concealS any OF color"
spots and to a large extent will pre-
vent freckling, as it protects the skin
with a thin film. 1t makes an even
adherent base for the rouge and
powder from the hair line to the chin.
Being waterproof, it is marvellous
for swimming and recommends itself
for sport as well as general daytime
and special evening use. When pur-
chasing your foundation cream, if you
will ask about powder and lipstick,
the clerk in charge will be glad to
help you, with the aid of a color
chart, to select the proper combina-
ton of colors for your particular type
of complexion from the 9 different
shades in powder and the in rouge.
You may create the impression of a
sun tan in your makeup, or If you are
already tanned there is a new line
OF Summer colors in powder, rouge
and hpstick that will appeal to you.

fragrance, when you are dressing is
very refreshing. Now that the color

New OrOld
Customs in
Social Life
BY EMILY POST,

"DEAR MRS. POST: Will you
please advise whether there has
been any change in custom when
couple become engaged2 Is it not
customary for the young man to speak
to her parents on the subject? Should
he speak to them flrst?"
Answer-It is still proper that q
man explain their plans to the girls
father and ask his approval. But
he does this after he has been Sc
cepted by her. Asking permission of
young woman's parents to pay his ad-
dresses to their daughter has been I'M
known for about half q century.
Dear Mrs. Post: I am q foreigner
and not as yet very well acquainted
with all the American customs. Is
one expected to give an engagement
present to o friend2"
Answer-No. 1t Is merely O present
which one gives only If one feels SO
inclined.
Dear Mrs. Post: My husband and
! have been going out with several
other couples who have the habit Of
dividing the check for the evening
equally, no matter what each couple
ordered. We've had very little money
and usually order very sparingly, only
to find ourselves paying for the others
feast. Should we be expected to
share alike under the circumstances?
What would you suggest that we do?"
Answer-Although it is no doubt
the easier way to settle the account,
your own letter fully explains its un-
fairness. Usually when people go
carte restaurant--each person pays
for his own items. Otherwise each Is
not paying his own expense, which is
what o Dutch treat is supposed to be.
I think you would better explain
frankly to the others that you can
be responsible for only your own
items. Or else decline their invita-
tons. II they ask why, then explain.
Dear Mrs. Post: My husband Is a
public Official and as such has been
invited TO q big luncheon. have
been told that he ought to send his
hostess flowers on the day OF the
luncheon. Is this SOP"
Answer-n the lunch is to be really
q function Of importance, and given
In his honor, It would be a courteous
gesture on his part. Otherwise 1t is
not necessary. nor even usual, to send
flowers to ones luncheon or dinner
hostess-unless one would like to.

cured meats. All the protective"
foods (about which she is taught by
the club are on hand. so that her
family will get all the food values
they need. If the food is properly
prepared in the kitchen. That is
also taken care Of by the club-girls
are taught the best ways Of cooking
to retain all the valuable essentials
of the different ingredients. All club
achievements are judged and the girl
gets a rating for her work-all OF
which puts her on her mettle, and
makes her do her very best on every
assignment.
The young budget maker must. of
course, take into consideration the
necessary purchase of certain staples
that cannot be home grown" She
must decide upon the amount of each
staple needed to completely balance
the family diet. Cash expenditure
for the farm family goes chiefly to
the energy foods, which are usually
the cheapest part Of wellbalanced
food supply In this particular the
farm budgeteer may well be the envy
of her city sister!
Xxx *
THE All Club girl also has another
problem-the canning budget and
the actual labor. The farm family
has its own fresh fruit and vegetables
in the Summer. but must depend a
great deal on canned or stored ones
for the Winter months. Therefore, a
canning program must be carefully
mapped out, to fill every need, yet
be without any waste. The canning
budget must be planned to At in with
the other food supplies and to en-
tirely balance the Winter diet. In
the smoke house there may be cured
meats, in the root cellar, potatoes,
carrots, cabbage, onions, apples, etc.
The pantry shelves will supply the
rest in the form Of canned vegetables
and fruits, together with the staples
which must be bought every SO often
from the general store.
At a recently held fair, one All
girl exhibited a model pantry for the
baby-smau shelves, with small. espe-
cially canned tomatoes. and canned
purees Of spinach, peas, other vege-
tables, appleSauce and so on. There
was space for cans Of evaporated milk,
to be kept for emergencies-for the
farm baby would be in serious straits
if something should happen to the
y11slLy
Immediately available.
**
THE girls are taught the best COM
binations and methods of prepar-
ing foods for the younger childrens
school lunch boxes. so that the long
walk or ride to school will not have
to be made again at noon to insure
properly balanced meal. They are
trained in all aspects Of homemaking
and housework, as experienced by the
modern farm wife and mother, and
those who have especially high rating
are rewarded with the trip TO WASH
ington and q chance to thus widen
their horizons.
So we see three of the HS-Head,
Hand and Health. The fourth H
Hear-goes into the work to spread
its benefits to home, family, friends
and community, in the form of good
will, fellowship and actual helpfulneSs.

These are, of course, results that may
be readily seen-but there are many
splendid activities conducted by club
members that are not quite so visible
In one home, for example, the older
