LABELS REPORTS
 ION COLONY DEBT
 MOSTLY 'HOKUM'
Dr. Colvin, WPA Counsel, DeclaresMa Proj-
 ect Mutual Undertaking

Reports that Colonists at Mat anuska are heavily indebted to the government are in large part ''hok- um," according to Dr. Fl. Milton Colvin, legal counsel for the Works Progress Administration, who ar- rived here today on the Alaska en- route to Palmer for a survey of the Matanuska colonization project.
 "Of course. the Colonists on this project as well as those in the States must pay share" Dr. Col win said, but the governments pol icy is that .in undertaking these enterprises it must necessary share a part of the expense. It is what might be called a mutual proposi- tion. These reports that the Col- onists are heavily in debt to the Government are mostly unfounded in fact"
 Dr. Colvin indicated that the government colonization program was moving along successfully but he was not prepared to speak on future development in Alaska, com- menting that he might be able to give better answer after spend ing a month or six weeks, which he proposes to do, at the colony.
 The official was in conference with Gov. John w. Troy today and plans to leave by airplane tomorrow for Fairbanks, thence flying im- mediately to the Palmer colony.

ROUGING EARS

Do you know that if you touch
the lobes of your ears with rouge
you should give a bit Of pink to
the rims as we'll? Ears go rosy
when the natural blush is pres
ent, and these are the days when
natural effects are fashionable.
If we must be face painters, let's
do the job according to rule.
A bit of rosy coloring on the
eyelids is a charming trick, espe-
cially if one is preparing for the
merry evening and doesn't care
to go in for eye shadows. It
freshens the countenance and
brightens the eyes.
Now that skirts are shorter,
are you aware of the fact that
the calves of your legs need
Slenderizing? Yes, get busy.
Stand on your toes and come
down slowly. You will be aware
of a muscle pull to your knees;
that pull is what you need to
strengthen fiberS and to shake
off fat cells.
Do squatting exercise, hands
on hips. Spread your knees out
at the sides. You'll take a tum-
BILE at first, but persevere. Do
high kicking; do it as if You
meant it. Remember that if you
are inclined to take on weight,
old Pop Time isn't going to help
you. He will be on the side Of
the fat cells.
