In determining whether a person employs a sufficient number of lndl- viduals to be an employer. under the Unemployment Compensation Act of Alaska, and also in determining what class of employees are subject to the Act, one must bear in mind that all individuals are counted as employees who perform services for a person in the Territory Of Alaska Of a class not excepted by the law, as set out in Section 2, paragraph h (1), sub-sections t6)-(A) (B) co CD (E) (F) and co, provided the relationship of employee and em- ployer exists between the individual who performs the service and the person for whom such services are = performed.
 For example, corporation n de- terrining whether il employs a sui fcient number of workers to be an "employer" subject to the tax. must include the officers Of the corpora tion. since the relationship Of en- ployer and employee exists between a corporation and it's officers. The amount, measure method or ceslg- nation of the remuneration payable to any officer, or the fact that he re- ceives no remuneration is immater- ial
 In the case where an employing unit has seven full time employees, and hires two extra on busy day Of any week, the number of employ ees in it's employ on that one day IS nine regardless of whether the extra help works eight hours or half an houT. Also the greatest number of employees in it's employ for some portion of a day would be nine. Then if the same condition existed t31re7~1eat 20 different we ks, whether or not the weeks are or Ega-- consecutive, the employing unit voul be deemed an employer and subject to the tax.
 Tn determining the actual amount Of wages paid an employee, the en- ployer must consider al commis- sions, bonuses, and the cash value of al prizes, etc, which are remunera- ton for personal services. h tEe event that an employee receives a fixed salary, and is furnished either room or board, or both, the employer reust add the cash value of these privileges to the employees salary, when determining the amount of the tax.

This gives a frosted effect When dry take a clean piece of cal ico or flannel. wet it and place over the forefnger and mark of the whitening in a lattice pattern like the old-fashioned windows.

STEEL BACKLOGS
DOWN ENOUGH TO
HELP DELIVERIES

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-Steel
companies backlogs Of orders are
steadily declining, affording better
deliveries to customers, but are
still substantial enough to assure
q continued high rate Of produc-
ton through August, particularly
if the expected upturn in buying
for autumn requirements gets
under way this month, Of which
there are already scattered indi-
cations, according to the Iron Age
summary.
A leading Chicago producer, for
example, has booked the largest
volume Of new business in four
weeks, largely a reflection Of the
outstanding activity in farm ma
chinery and equipment.
Auto Orders Slow
The automobile industry, slower
than expected in making volume
purchases for 1888 models, will
come into the market in a bigger
way within the next two or three
weeks, perhaps ushering in the tall
buying movement for industry
generally. With automobile buy.
ing at q minimum, total volume Of
new steel business is running con-
siderably behind shipments.
An unexpected development at
this time is the appearance Of new
inquiries for railroad equipment,
both domestic and foreign, per-
haps the forerunner of a second
airy buying movement by the rail-
roads. It was thought that the
pending wage controversy and the
failure of the Interstate Commerce
Commission to announce a dect-
sion on freight rate advances might
postpone additional equipment
purchases until late in the year,
but the roads are faced with an
autumn traffic volume that may
tax their facilities. While new
purchases now would not relieve
a possible car shortage this fall,
the equipment would be received
in time to replace cars that might
get into bad order from excessive
usage. A number Of car shops
are in position to take on new
work almost Immediately.
Foreign Inquiry Gains
Foreign inquiry for steel Is
showing renewed signs Of life.
Countries such as Greece and
Turkey, which usually buy from
Germany, are looking to this
country. British mills have
bought 100000 tons Of semi
finished steel on the Continent,
but still haven't enough to sup
ply their needs, with their
finished steel output sold to the
end of the year. Some business
in semi.finished and finished
steel has been negotiated here
for Britain at our domestic
prices.

Business Dull, Compared
With Bonus Days of 1886

While the registration of new
passenger cars in the District
last month showed a decline Of
3.3 per cent in comparison with
last year, it is noted in the
Richmond compilation that a
greater percentage of the cars
sold this year were in a higher
price level than those sold in
the same territory last year.
Building Permits Dip
City construction permits,
largely rejecting residential
building, showed a decline Of
11.2 per cent in value last
month, but contract figures,
which include rural as well as
urban projects and also Govern.
ment undertakings, showed a rise
last month of 81.7 per cent, ex-
planned chiefly by a few large
contracts awarded here.
Discounts increased moder.

Bank Of Richmond last month
and for one day, June IA, quoted
more than one million dollars for
the first time in several years.

BANKS SEEK WAY
TO BUILD PUBLIC
u UNDERSTANDING

Dealing with the concrete ways
in which a number of banks have
met particular phases Of Their
public relations problems, the
American Bankers Association has
issued the second study in its
newly established series on Public
Relations for Banks"
The various cases presented, says
the study, "compositely suggest
how all the major aspects Of
banks activity may be made to
play a part in bringing about bet.
ter public relations for it. The
approach to public relations for
banks is a manifold problem, not
one to be met by single method
or particular device for creating
popular goodwill toward bank
out Of hand.
I'm times past it sometimes
appeared to be thought that it
was solely the duty Of the loan
ing and investing officers to
make money for the bank, and
the sole. duty Of the advertising
and publicity departments to
make popularity for it. Their
real identity of purpose was not
fully manifeSt-namely, to gain
for the bank a sound place in the
goodwill of the people of its
community as a useful business
service. Now, however, it is
more clearly seen that almost
every one of a banks functions
has an active role in any effec.
tive scheme for developing a
better public attitude toward
the bank Individually or toward
banking and bankers.
ut Is felt that the strongest
defense of banking as q whole
against attacks an encroach-
ments is the establishment by
banks generally of confidence,
esteem and loyalty toward them
as local institutions among their
own people by means Of good
banking and popular under
standing of its place and value
in the life Of the community"
The booklet stresses particularly
the value of Informative news
paper advertising in promoting
public understanding and favor
able attitudes toward banking. {.
The subjects treated in the
study are: Bringing All Factors
Into Action" Training Person
mel for Better Public Relations, "
Public R elations and Some
Changes in Loaning Methods" and
"a New Public Relations Approach
in Bank Advertising"

Recent apparent trade dizziness
in the Fifth Federal Reserve
District. which includes Wash.
ington, is explained in the
monthly bulletin of the Federal
Reserve Bank Of Richmond,
made available yesterday.
Some surprise was expressed
here at recent official trade fig
ures which indicated something
Of a slump in the face Of higher
bank clearings and the spending
ability Of the community.
Artificial Stimulus
Leaving the usual midsummer
dizziness out Of the picture as q
comparative. factor, it is disclosed
in the Richmond report that
trade in June and July Of last
year was artificially stimulated
by the payment Of the bonus.
It seems q fair conclusion that
had trade this year only re-
ceived the undoubted extra slim
ulant Of the widely spent soldier
bonus money, the present sum
mer business would have been
equal to, if not greater, than
that done during the same pc
Rod of 1886.

market rallied briskly in the fore
noon today, gains in several lead
ers running from l to more thar
2 points.
The upswing, which followed a
sluggish start, enabled pivotal
issues to recover losses of similar

picked up appreciably on the ad-
vance.
Operators were heartened by the
latest crop of bullish second quar-

Commodities were irregular,
