Reports Program Calls for Huge Colonization of
 Territory

SEATTLE, June 26.-The Seattle Intelligencer said today that Congressman Byron B. Harlan of Dayton, Ohio, said that the Federal Government had made plans to re- tablish another Alaskan colony sim liar to the Matanuska for the pur- pose of creating a gigantic Naval air base, to be operated by a per manent force of 10000 men.
 The newspaper quoted Marian as saying he carried complete plans for the colonization project as he sailed today aboard the U. s. Fisheries Bureau vessel, Brant, with Col Charles Marsh, Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, for AL aska
 The Congressman declined to re- veal the exact location of the second colony but said it would be under taken as soon as the success of the Matanuska colony is assured
 The newspaper quoted Harlan as saying; The Alaska base will be greater than that at Hawaii which would be difficult to defend in time of war because it relies on the main land for supplies. To avoid this strategic weakness, Alaska must be sufficiently colonized to produce food and other supplies to support it's own population and the military forces stationed there in case of war The second colony alone could not produce sufficient supplies for a Naval airbase, thus several others must be undertaken"
 It was ns/ indicated how soon the base would be established but liar Ian was quoted as saying, but ir addition to airplanes. large Army post and war vessels would be es- tablished in the Territory

The usual custom is for the
woman, when she marries,to drop
the middle name of her maiden
name, and to make her informal
name from her first name, the
surname of her maiden name,
and the surname of her married

would be the name you would

This behooves mothers to recog-
nize the dietary maxim Of one
quart Of milk daily. In certain
cases children have not acquired
the taste for milk. In these cases
clever Scheming can include it in
the diet in any desired amount.
Some Of the ways it can be
included is in frozen desserts,
such as sherbets, or certain Gus
tard ice creams which combine
both milk and cream in their
recipes.
Dreamed vegetable soups for
luncheon or adding a cream sauce
to the fresh vegetable or a hot
cheese sauce is another method.
Eggnogs are good, as are some
Of the chocolate malt prepare
tionS. These can be served for a
mid-afternoon beverage with
cookies or graham crackers.
In the baking of vegetable and
seasoning, milk can be substituted
for water in many cases.
These recipes will suggest to
you ways of including this valu-
able food in the dietary:

MEN have found out that moth
AVA ing is as comfortable to sleep
in as balbriggan; in fact, have
wanted balbriggan so badly that
they have stolen their wives
pyjamas. The manufacturers of
mems pyjamas were a bit slower
to awake to the possibilities Of
this grand fabric than those who
made women'S night clothing. But
now, at last, all such competition
can be eliminated, for there are
smart looking, comfortable and
adequate styles for men in this
soft, pliable fabric. The main
reason it is so excellent is that it
does not bind or catch when you
turn in bed. 1t is just warm
enough, without getting you over
heated, and it is quite durable.
There are notch-collar conven-
tional types or crew neck types
to choose from, and they come in
both light and dark colors. Two
good ones have been sketched, to
give you an idea of how they
look. They are $1.95 per pair,
with snug ankle cuffs to keep you
warm, and you may be sure of
comfort while you sleep, if you
wear balbriggan.

But there are exceptions to this
custom. For instance, a woman
may choose to retain her first
name and her middle name in her
signature, emitting the surname Of
her maiden name. Josephine
Rowan Smith. This isn't usual
but she may do this if she wishes.
Another exception: She may drop
all Of her maiden name but her
first name, and use the form Jose
phine Smith. Or she may use the
initial of her maiden surname,
and use the form Josephine B.
Smith. like the first form best
Josephine Brown Smith. 1t is
wise to retain the maiden surname,
and it is easy of Identification in
so many cases.
