s'Is it really taking such q chance
living with ones mOther.in-law
after being married.. My future
mOther.in-law looks as IL she
would mind her own business and
give us privacy but everyone
says I will be sorry.
'My fiance's father died q year
ago. He has married sisters and
brothers with families, but they
have no room, "R."
The term open house" used in
connection with the gathering
after a marriage ceremony usually
means that anyone can come,
that the inviting is very general.
Since this Is q rather unusual
plan, it is wiser not to use this
word unless we are not limiting
our form Of inviting. Apparently
this is not at all what you have IN
mind, since you wish definitely to
limit your number Of guests.
Since you are inviting only the
relatives and q few close friends,
the appropriate form Of invitation
to such an informal gathering Of
friends" is the note written by
your mother or whoever Is the
hostess Of your home. Like this:
"Dear Grace:
"Anita and Jim are to be mar
ried in Trinity Church at 4 O'Clock
on Tuesday, the tenth Of June
and at the ceremony we are haV

reatnent for
Dandrun
By DONNA GRACE

| keeping the scalp clean ana
healthy should be simple matter
for anyone, and yet we are always
hearing Of someone who claims to
have incurable dandruff.
They speak of it as a disease
and seem to feel one must endure
the annoyance without expecting
to be relieved.
Dandruff is not q disease, but
the result of a natural skin func.
ton. The surface skin sheds i'm"
perceptibly at all times, and this
along with the glandular Secre.
lions Of the scalp forms the dan
druff. This condition may be
found on either a dry or oily scalp.
The arrested function Of the
glands may result in a dry scalp,
and this will cause the dry flaky
dandruff. The glands may lack
elasticity in their function, and
when we have this disturbance, we
have an oversupply Of oil from the
glands that is not absorbed by the
scalp and hair. This is the most
annoying form Of dandruff and
calls for q great deal Of attention.
A correct diet consisting OF
plenty of milk and vegetables will
help to regulate the skin and
glandular function. Carrots, let
tuce, celery and tomatoes are some
of the best foods for this.
Cleanliness Is imperative II one
would keep the scalp healthy, and
when there is an excessive oily
secretion there is nothing better
than frequent ShampooS. Even
the tincture Of green soap Is not
too strong until the scalp is clean
and free from the caked deposit.
It takes thorough soapings and
sometimes a Scrubbing with q firm
bristle brush when heads have
been neglected. Then thorough
rinSing.
DIV scalps are not shampooed
so often, but. Of course, the scalp
must be kept clean, and instead
of using tonicS and various alco-
holic mixtures. oils and pomades
are applied.
Oil shampoos will help to re-
lieve the dryness and aid in the
natural glandular function.
Unhappy Weary"-Do not be
unhappy because Of the space be-
tween your front teeth. There is
no reason for you to "cry for
days" over anything, and this con-
dition can be helped and really
corrected. if you will go to your
dentist and let him train the teeth
to grow close together.
It will take q little time to close
the space, so do not be diScour-
aged, and never mind If your
friends think you have lost a
tooth. They will be surprised to
see how nice your teeth are after
the correction. Drink plenty Of
milk and eat fresh vegetables and
leafy salads to make your teeth
more perfect.

 It was the first trip the pioneer had made to Juneau since 1922 and coming over with Sheldon Sim mons Monday he took his first air plane ride, which he admitted wasn't so bad, and surely was a time saver, although Hanson is of the opinion a lot of folks have tendency to waste their time even after they have saved it travelling fast

DOUGLAS HEARS DELEGATE, ALSO REP. JOE GREEN
Social Security Act, Boat Harbor, Other Sub-
 jects Discussed

An attendance of between thirty and forty greeted Delegate An thony J Dimond and Representative Joe Green, honor guests, at the meeting of the Douglas Chamber of Commerce last night. The meeting was held in the high school audi torium instead of the city hall.
 The securing of a small boat harbor main objective of the local Chamber for the past year or more, and in addition, how to obtain a new school building for the town, were the principal subjects of the meeting, which was turned over to the visitors.
 Hdrbor Improvements May Require
 Years
 While it used to take anywhere from five to twenty years to mater ialize such a project as the kslild.ng of a boat harbor Delegate Dimond told the Chamber he could not promise anything speedier now than four years for new harbor here. He explained the procedure that must be followed before a final or der could be given and the work ac tually started. The first step, that of a preliminary survey of the project as to it's practicability, has already been accomplished and the result was favorable. Although not in his province to interfere with the work ings of the different departments concerned with the project, MT. Dimond promised to help with it whenever possible.
 For NeU School
 | Speaking in behalf of a new school | building for Douglas, the Delegate remarked that the need of one was very apparent The securing of a Federal grant of 45 per cent is possi- ble, he said, if the town is able to get help from the Territorial Legislature and contribute some money itself. He mentioned sev- eral instances where other towns in Alaska had been helped very mater ially in similar cases by the Legis- lature and said he believed Douglas could get such assistance. To ob- 1 tain a Federal loan, he stated that not more than ten per cent of the value of the city's real and personal property could be borrowed and that amount was already exceeded, it was reported.
 Security Act Erplained | Delegate Dimond then spoke about the National Security Act, which is one subject close to his heart, he said. The Territorial Legislature must pass a new Old Age Pension bill at its next session, to conform to the National act. The new bill, if and when effective to result as follows: SIS (dollars) per month will be available from Territorial funds to all citizens of Alaska, 65 years of age or over, who are in need, dependent mothers with chil- dren, the blind. or helplessiy crip- pied; residence requirements must be five years of the last nine and the full year in the Territory just proceeding application for the pen sion. For each $15 thus paid out by the Territory, the Federal Gov ernment will contribute an addition al SIS, thus giving each pensioner $50 month. At present the Ter ritory appropriates something like $400,0 for each biennium old age pensions, and under the new bill an additional $200,000 will have to be paid out. This additional sum will necessitate extra taxation to if nance This, he said, must not be overlooked in their legislating, A

LARGE AUDIENCE
 ENJOYSCONCERT
Charming Program Is Pre- sented by Ruth Lorraine
 Close, Mrs. Alexander

Ruth Lorraine Close, solo harplst of the Portland Symphony Orches- tra. and Lola Mae Alexander, tal- ented soprano, who appeared to- gether on the program presented by the Trinity Cathedral Choir at the Scottish Rite Temple last night, brought out one of the largest au- diences ever accorded concert in Juneau
 Miss Close, a skillful artist, began her program with LaPriere, by Has, selnans, under whom she studied in Paris, and included in her first grcup an old French song arranged by Perilhou and St. Saens' Fan taisie," an especially appealing harp composition dedicated by St. Saens to Hasselmans.
 A minuet by Beethoven, Music Box substituted on the program by request in place of Lolita la .Danseuse," and two charming De- pussy compositions, The Girl with the Flaxen Hair and "First Arab esque" were in her second group, which she followed with The Song of the Volga Boatman' for encore.
 The harp program was complet- cd by a French folk-song arranged by Grandjany, Jazz Band pour la Harpe," a frankly humorous tra- vesty on the jazz band by Tour nier. and Autumn" by the Eng fish composer, John Thomas. Her own arrangement of Mighty Like Rose" was given by Miss Close as a final encore.
 Miss Close added to the charm and interest of her program with brief, informal predatory eXplana- tions of each number she played Her program was well selected and arranged.
 In her two groups of songs, with harp accompaniment. Mrs. Alex ander, who always pleases Juneau audiences, presented Calm Is the Night" by Bohm, Thou Art So Like a Flower Chadwick; The Star" by Rogers and Harp of the Woodland by Martin. To these she added The Last Rose of Sum- ner."
 Special credit is due Mrs. Alex ander for the charm of her group of songs, according to Mrs. Crystal Snow Jenne, who had charge of the concert for the Trinity Choir, "as it is technically much more difficult to sing with a harp accompaniment than with piano. It requires the skill of real artist to accomplish the delicate balance between the voice and the instrument apparent in Mrs. AleXander's songs last night
 Following the concert members of the Trinity Cathedral Guild were hosts at reception for Miss Close and Mrs. Alexander in the blue room of the Temple. Mrs. c. E. Rice, Mrs. Dan Ross, Mrs. Arthur Fox were the committee in charge, assisted by Mrs. Agnes Readman, who. with Mrs. Ross, poured; Mrs. Frank Boyle, Mrs. Helen Cass, Mrs. Jack Metzgar, Miss Pearl Peterson, Miss Helen Torkelson, Miss Gladys For rest.

 Change in Legislature Discussed
 By Rep. Green. .ss
 Continuing the subject where MT. Dimond left off, Representative Joe Green spoke about the most likely sources of revenue from which the additional funds needed for the new Old Age Pension could be secured. The fisheries, he said, could hardly be expected to supply the money needed as 75 to 80 per cent of the Territory's revenue all ready comes from that source. Other industry must then bear the 5urden," he said, and the gold mining industry seems the most likely, especially when one consid- CTS the increased values now real ized by gold producers for. their product" Like. the Delegate, MT. Green promised what aid he could give Douglas for new school and a small boat harbor.
 Proposed change in the Alaska Legislative Assembly to one-House Legislature was explained in detail by Representative Green.
