DAVIS GIVES
 OUT PRELUDE, SMITH TALK 
Attack Centers on Propos- als for Constitutional
 Changes

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-John w. Davis last night assailed the pro- posals for a sweeping constitutional amendment in an anti-New Deal prelude to Alfred E. Smiths ex- pected attack upon the Roosevelt tonight.
 The former Democratic Presi- dential candidate, like Smith, is one of the founders of the Amer ican Liberty League which Smith will address in Washington to- night.
 Attacks Proposals
 Davis spoke before the New York Bar Association, centering his at tack m ainly on proposals for changes in the constitution to cen- tralize administrative and econ omic powers in the Federal Gov ernment.
 Davis said. There is cause for wonder in passing whether some of the legislation of these last three years was not enacted in the belief such an amendment was already on the books"
 No Room for Doubt
 Davis spoke only in general terms but left no room for doubt that the present Washington Adminis- tration was his target.
 Davis said he had no reproach for any man advocating consti- tutional amendment who gives his reason for saying so, but when panaceas are offered on one side only to be answered by panegyrics on the other side, the argument lacks conclusiveness."

BETTER TIMES CONTEST GIRLS
 GIVEN DINNER
Thirty-five Contestants Sing Praises of Hump-back
 Salmon Tn Terminal

Thirty-five Juneau girls, who swore faithful allegiance to hump back salmon but indicated tn e y would be willing to change their diet temporarily to one of tamales, met at 6:30 in the Terminal Cafe last night for the Better Times Contest Dinner and Pep Drive, sponsored by Juneau Merchants and The Daily Alaska Empire.
 With "On to Mexico" their slogan, and T Like Hump-Back Salmon" their theme song, the assembled con- testants posed for group picture, taken by Winter & Pond; were en- tertained during their dinner by the Musgrave Triolians; witnessed a tan- go by Laddie Kyle; heard Bernice Lovejoy sing Alice Blue Gown; and last but not least, received from members of the Empire staff in- structions as to how best to con- duct their campaign.
 What Not To Do
 The most important of the in- structions was what not to do, and concerned soliciting of votes from customers by girls working in places of business. Proof that any girl has violated this rule would automati- cally disbar her from the contest, it was explained. Under no circum- stance can clerk ask a customer for votes at the time of purchase, nor, if the customer does not ask for his coupons, is she allowed to ap- propriate them to her own use.
 Other than this obviously neces- sary requirement, the field is open, and letters read to the assembled girls from last years winners in coast states revealed how girls, to garner votes, went out and solicited sales for merchants-one girl selling 43 tons of coal-how one girl, to garner votes personally sold 43 tons of coal for a local merchant; how another spent her Sundays in a filling station where gas sold seven gallons for 9e cents and asked merchants to buy an extra gallon and give the votes tc her; how other girls set up amateur collection agencies and drummed up payments on bad debts for local merchants who had found it impos- Sible to collect.
 Collected 9 Debt
 Such procedure was used to good effect in Juneau yesterday, when one enterprising contestant collected a ! $50 debt that had lain dormant for a considerable time, and earned by that process 5000 votes toward trip to old Mexico.
 Itinerary Told
 In outlining the itinerary, it was also brought out last night that girls desiring to remain a week ir Seattle on the return trip may do sC at their own expense and still use their tickets for the boat trip to Jul neau when they wish to return home This will give many having relative: Continued on Page Three)

APPROPRIATE GIFT
''Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

Dear MIS- DCCCk1udus
"a man and girl I know have
recently been married. A very
close friend of the husbands has
been going about with girl for
several years. This girl has met
the wife, but she doesn't know her
well. The recently marrid couple
have invited the husbands friend
to bring the girl to come to their
new home. When they go do you
think that they should take a
gift for the new home, or take
some flowers, or would it even be
proper to take some liquor? If
you say "a gift" what would you
suggSt? If flowers, what kind?
"a married friend of mine would
like to know if it would be proper
to send her husband flowers for
his birthday. He will be travelling
during the week of his birthday.
"ANTHONY."
It would be pleasant and
thoughtful for this couple to take
either some small gift for the new
home, or to take box of flowers.
Such a gift, for instance, as a
smoking accessory, a cigarette box
with matching ash-trayS; or a con-
venient, decorative box; or tea
set or some cocktail napkins; or a
crystal vase, of medium size, al
ways convenient; or some new rec
ords, if they have a phonograph.
If flowers, any kind are appro-
pirate depending on what your
florist has to offer; chrySanthe-
NUNS, roses, or a bloSsoming plant.
It would certainly not, on this
first visit, be in good taste for
them to take liquor as a gift.
If your friends husband enjoys
flowers, it would be charming for
her to telegraph some flowers for
him on his birthday.

Gust how should one 60 about
the christening Of newborn
baby? Should the christening take
place in a church or can it take
place at home, and how soon after
the birth should it take place?
II have asked a close friend Of
mine to be gOdmOther. What part
does she play in the christening,
and is a godfather necessary? We
have already chosen the name.
els a christening a formal af-
fair?. Il have often understood it
to be so. K"
Many faiths demand that a
child be baptized in church. The
christening may take place di-
rectly after the regular church
service, or it may be at an hour
when only the invited guests are
present. The latter is preferred
by conservative people who choose
to have this kind of formality
strictly private.
When the religious faith permits
a choice, most parents prefer to
have a home christening. since
this means that there will be less
of a strain on the mother and
child, and less formality than at
the church ceremony.
If you choose to have the
private church christening, all de-
tails must be arranged for in ad-
vance. There may be a few
flowers around the baptismal
font, or on the altar or pulpit.
Usually there is no music. At the
appointed hour the parents and
the guests gather and take their
places in the front pewS.
When the clergyman enters, the
godmother takes the child in her
arms, and accompanied by the
other godparent and by the child's
parents goes forward to the bap-
tismal font. The details Of the
ceremony then proceed according
to the ritual of the denomination.
If the christening is to be at
home, there is a table covered
with a dainty white cloth and on
it a bowl partially filled with
warm water. This serves as the
font. AS the guests arrive, the
parents receive them informally
When all is ready the clergy

my mind to call it quits, and TO-
day I feel very happy 1 made that
drastic decision instead Of mOping
round and being utterly miser-
able.
"I started cultivating the friend
ship of other girls, and am al
ready beginning to care for some
one else who returns my feelings.
"The best way to forget an un-
happy love affair is to keep busy.
I started going to - University
after work, and now 1 enjoy my
work, my studies and my friends
company. Fellows, take tip from
one who was miserable. Keep
busy and cultivate new friends.
"HAPPY AT LAST"
Congratulations on having found
the perfect remedy for a one-sided
and unhappy love affair-work,
study and the society Of someone
who is more appreciative. There's
plenty of wisdom in that old adage:
eff she be not fair for me
What care how fair she be-"
Attention, gentlemen who are
losing sleep, weight, and generally
going in for heart-break! Try a
counter-irritant in the shape OF
another girl.
