Final Efforts to Be Farmer
 in Alaska, Wins
Pennsylvanian Enlists in Army with Ultimate
 Transfer to North

SEATTLE, Oct. 31.-Russell Crone, aged 23, of York, Pennsylvania, is learning army training at Fort Lawton these days, another step in his life ambition to be a farmer in Alaska.
 Last summer, the Pennsylvanian wrote to the War Department in Washington, D. O., asked to be per- mitted to enlist in the Seventh In fantry at Chilkoot Barracks, Alas ka
 The request was referred to the Commanding General of the Ninth Corps Area at San Francisco, who replied, saying it was not the policy to enlist any men for the first term of service for any special post.
 Impatient at the delay, Crone packed up and started across the country in flivver.
 Arriving in Seattle, Crone told his story to Col. William Sharp, Army Recruiting Officer here, saying he wanted to serve in the Army and after his discharge to homestead in Alaska. The request was so lN- usual that the Commanding Officer at San Francisco reconsidered his first rejection and permitted Crone to enlist, stationing him at Fort Lawton, for ultimate transfer to Chilkoot Barracks, on Lynn Canal, in Southeast Alaska.

PRACTICAL GIFT
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
would you be so kind as to help
me with this problem? A man
friend of mine has just gone into
business, and he has asked my
mother and me to come to see
his new offices and shOw-roOms.
He is in the wholesale fabric bust
ness. When we go should take
him some kind of gift, such as
flowers? BETTY"
When you and your mother go
to see this new showroom, I sug-
gest that you don't take any gifts.
Just be very enthusiastic, congratu-
lating him on his new offices and
show-rooms. Then later, if you
wish and if he is close friend,
you might send him a little gift
that you. see (from your first
visit) would be useful and appro-
pirate to his new place of business.
1t might, for instance, be a clock
or some detail for his desk or an

and which must come up for de-
ciSiOn before the electorate from
time to time"
While DR.. Studebaker did not
bring it up, the youth Of today is
confronted with one problem
which their parents escaped,
namely-if they marry, shall both
be Self-supporting? And how do
these marriages-where the wife
goes out to work as well as the
husband-Succeed? Do they help
to build up that formidable ratio
of marriages-one in SiX-that
end in divorce?
Russia, which threw over most
of the old standards in the begin
ming of the Soviet regime, now de-
plores divorce, insisting that a sue
ceSSful state must be built on
firm foundation of family life.
The position of Russia is not I'M
like that of the man at the re-
vival who has seen the light"
Russia's domesticity went on the
loose for time, and they found
it didn't work, so Russia is back
again in the straight and narrow.
1t is hoped that the handsome
young creatures who have just re-
ceived diplomas all over this broad
land will, if they intend to marry,
take their marriage VOWS seri-
ouSly.

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
81 have received an invitation
from an emplOye to attend his
$3.50 church wedding.
"What do I do about presenting
the gift? Is it sent to the bride
elect before the wedding or left
at the church?
"MuSt it be an expensive gift?
would a white silk or a crepe
suit be all right to wear?
ETHEL"
You send your wedding gift to
the bride-elect Ito her home) be-
fore the wedding. Send it two
weeks before the wedding, if you
can conveniently, or at least one
week before the wedding. This
gives her time to write you her
thank-you note before she leaves
on her wedding trip.
What you send as wedding gift
depends on your own social judg-
ment, and On your budget. Any
thing for the new home-silver,
china, glass, linen, a picture, q
lamp, a clocks appropriate.
The crepe suit would be most
appropriate to wear to this after
noon wedding.

When a boy is in college and
working for a scholarship, he is
busy, and no mistake about that.
If you wait month to answer
his letters, he may take a couple

To be strictly correct, since you

were needed in a world that had
been wagging along without them
for nearly ten thousand recorded

But DR.. Studebaker did not as.
sumo a political air and tell
the graduating youth what it was
all about, or how much the world
needed them. Instead, he asked
youth to speak for itself.

business of living has laid no
