law to qualify for Federal aid of SIS

figures contained in survey just
completed by the State Board of
Charities and Public Welfare and
made public today by Governor J. G.
B. Ehringhaus.

because of the very high level of un-

The big bays ability attracted the attention of Maj. Harry D. Cham berlin (he's a colonel now) who was head of the team Captain Raguse took charge of Ugly for special training.
 That is Uglys story. This sum- mer, at the Olympics in Berlin, Ugly was one of the three U. s. horses to jump in the difficult Prix de Ma tions.
 It's because jumpers spring from nowhere that no one will conjecture about the open jumper champion of the coming National. It may be Squire. another ex-army horse, now jumping for the Canadian Army team, which will compete next , month. Also of unknown breeding Squire, formerly owned by Danny Shea of Dover, Mass, was 1934-35 champion and was sold last year to the Canadians. He is jumping beautifully, it is reported and will make strong bid for his champ ionship. But, for all the experts know, someone may come along with another ex-cowpony like Tanbark an ex-saddle horse like Sonny, or $2-an-hour riding academy hack like Ivanhoe-all National winners ito beat the entire field.
 International Event
 The international military and civilian jumping contests are one of the most exciting features of the National but the forthcoming show which will be the 53rd-is expect ed to be one of the best in recent years.
 Seven countries have entered military jumping teams-the most since the record set in 1926. Rep- resented at the show will be the United States. Canada, Chile, Irish Free State, England, Sweden and France. with each team competing every night.
 In addition to the military jump- CTS will be an exhibition ride al each night performance by a de- tachment of 37 Royal Canadian mounted police; nightly exhibitions of dressage-the highest form ol horse training-by Maj. Hiram E Futile, from Ft. Riley, Kas., the children's championships at the Saturday matinee, as we'll as the usual saddle, harness and hunter classes.

SPORT SLANTS

Among horsemen, blood lines and heredity are paramount when it comes to selecting saddle or har- ness horse, hunter, racer or a polo pony.
 In only one division does the un- known stand chance in competi- ton with his blue- -blooded adver- saries.
 Horses entered in internationa jumping contests, at the Nationa horse show November 4-10 in Madi- son Square Garden include many jumpers whose lineage is entirely unknown. In jumping the only thing that counts is the ability ano courage to get over those high fenc- es; whether the horse is thorough bred or mongrel, whether he looks like Man o'War or a wornout- junk wagon horse doesn't matter.
 Perhaps the outstanding open jumper of all time is the grand old veteran of the U. S. Army team Ugly, the horse that, with Capt. c. w. A. Raguse in the saddle, has thrilled National crowds year after year.
 Ugly may be of noble or of hum ole origin. No one knows. The gov- crnment bought him for $165 for use as a cavalry mount. He had one outstanding characteristic-hi dis position was terrible. He was clas- 5ified as an outlaw and turned over to non-commissioned officer to be gentled
 Tanned by Woman
 The non-com suspected Ugly could jump. Mrs. Edwin Hardy. wife of the major commanding the squa- dron to which Ugly had been as- signed, became interested and took over his training. As is so often the case when woman takes charge of wild horse, Ugly became do- cile. His jumping improved rapid ly. Mrs. Hardy began to show hin at the monthly shows held at Ft Riley, Kas., where, in 1881, the army's Olympic equestrian team was preparing for the 1932 Olympics

HOOP LEAGUE OPENS SEASON
 THIS EVENING
DeMolays and Krause Tee Off in City Leagues
 Curtain Raiser

This evening at 7:30 o'clock, in the High School Gym, is the time and the place of one of Juneau's paramount sports events-the open ing of the City League Basketball Season
 Four of the six league teams will be seen in action tonight. with the DeMolay squad, title-holders from last season, opening the years hoop wars against the Krause Concreters, who last year made strong bid for the title. The first game of tonight's program, which starts "on the dot, at 7:30 will be broadcast over the local radio station by Announcer Bud Foster, it is announced by League President John Fowler But, only the first game each night of play, will be put on the air, because of conflicting programs, so those who really want to know what is happening in the local basket cir cle will have to turn out at the Gym-anyway, basketball game isn't much good unless you can watch it; the best plays are too fast for any announcer.
 The second of this evenings con- test will show the dark horse H. s. Graves squad, new to the league this season, pitted against the Doug las Eagles. The Graves outfit, al- though no one has any past per- formances on which to dope it's ability, is the most ballyhooed team in the league, and much is expected of it. But, anyone who remembers the first of the Douglas baseball team will be most unready to con- cede beating to any lineup from across the Channel
 There is tonights hoop setup. So, pick your winners, and watch en1 run.

B8AUGG GlOuNing Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service Staff Writer

"It's easier to keep slender than to get slender" says Kay Francis, attractive, dark-haired Hollywood star. Pounds have 8 way of &C., cumulating almost before one knows it. Therefore, I think bathroom scale is modern woman's greatest ally in combating extra weight.
 By stepping on the scale every morning before she takes her bath, girl will know immediately when she has gained even one extra pound. Then she can make a busi- ness of getting rid of it before it has chance to grow to three or four" Miss Francis explained.
 Remember, of course, the impor- tance of keeping your strength up while you are keeping weight down. Don't cut your diet until you are week, nervous and irritable. Eat whatever amount of food is neces- sary to your health and happiness (it's probably less than you think and depend on exercise to do the rest.
 Kay Francis says that a one-mile walk day, one game of tennis and two horseback rides per week keep her figure slender and attractive. If 1t is quite out of the question for you to swim, play tennis or ride, walk two miles instead of one, and watch your diet carefully.
 A good many women have found that a hot saline bath twice a week helps them to keep weight at cre- tain figure. Simply fill the tub with very hot water, throw in several handfuls of plain salt or bath salts and soak for about twenty minutes. Finish with warm, then cold show CT. Of course, if this particular treat r1ent makes you weak and listless, eliminate it after the first trial and depend on exercise and intelligent eating to keep your figure slender.

erals, etc. Please tell me whether Roman lettuce is as good as ordi- nary lettuce in these respects. |. (MrS. c. J. Al
 Answer = Lettuce contains vita mins A, B, o and G in good quan- titles; Romaine contains as much A and B, but less c and c. Tn miner als they are practically the same good sources of calcium, phosphorus and iron.
 OptimaI is Ample
 Some one told about being cured of colitis by taking the double ra- tions of vitamins you suggested. Where can I get the double rations of vitamins? (K. K. O.
 Answer-Not double, but optimal rations-that is, more of the various vitamins than we assume to be necessary to prevent deficiency diseases. The booklet Building Vi- tality", gives detailed information about vitamins and their effects. For a copy send ten cents coin and stamped envelope bearing your ad- dress.
 Boric Acid Solution
 Is it advisable to prepare a large quantity of boric acid solution, bot tie 1t, and use 1t as needed, for eye wash, gargle, mouth wash, etc? (D. M.
 Answer-No difficulty about pre- pairing as much as you need. Just put half an ounce Ca rounded table, spoonful of boric acid in a pint bottle and fill the bottle with boiled water still hot. This may be used as eye drops or eye wash, mouth wash, gargle, ear drops or ear wash, nasal spray or irrigation, douche, or as lotion or wet dressing where antiseptic is required.
 Lead Poisoning
 My sons have a lead solder mold ing set which they use a great deal. Is there any danger of lead poisoning from the fumes of the melting lead? (Mrs. R. VI
 Answer-Yes. Better give them in- stead a plastic or clay molding out fit and some instruction by a good Kindergarten teacher. This will both amuse and develop artistic talent. Parents of pre-school children would do well to visit kindergar- tens in progressive schools and get Ideas on entertainment and educa- ton of the children between two six years of age.
