HAS LIVELY
MEET TODAY
Rainbow Girl Visitors Are
Gu ests with John
Bugas, Oman

/, An elaborate program, worthy Of
much more than the allotted houl
of time to which Rotary meetings
Iare limited, was enjoyed by Rotar-
|ians, and their guests, including the
Visiting Rainbow Girls, John Bu-
lgas, of the Juneau office of the
Federal Bureau Of Investigation
Chief of Police Dan Ralston .anc
ID. o. Selby of Seattle, at the weekly
luncheon today in Percy's Cafe.
Sprightly Keleen Haubner, of Sc
attle. Grand Worthy Advisor of the
Rainbow Girls, introduced the girls
lwho are making the tour.
The Rainbow Girls organization
lis made up of girls, carefully select
ed between the ages of 10 and &c
jyears," Miss Haubner said 1.-THE
Organization is sponsored by the
Order of Eastern Star and the Ma
lsons In the State of Washington
more than $500 girls are members
divided into many assemblies
Throughout the state, and the rival
ny for perfection among these groups
is most keen. We hope through
this trip to stimulate more interest
in Rainbow in Alaska We feel that
girls gain much good from the or
ganization through the many acti-
vities of the organization"
In addition to her informative
talk Miss Haubner told the Rotar-
ians and guests in a humorous song
which in the course of time became
more gestures than song; the Rain
bow Girls proving more adept with
its intracacies than the Rotarians.
! F. B. 1. history
The history of the Federal Blu
reau of Investigation was briefly and
,entertainingly sketched by John Blu
gas, who, despite the handicap OF
working against President Charles
Beale's stop watch, told the Rotar-
ians more than most of them ever
knew about this important branch
of the government, and left them
wanting to hear more. First started
; in 1908, Mr.. Bugas, said the Bureau
was re-organized in 1924, from
which time it has been free from
all political influence and the stand
ards greatly raised In 1886, 81 pei
cent of the personnel were lawyers
l6 per cent, accredited accountants
and 16 per cent men with excep-
tional experience in investigation
but without law or accounting de-
grees. Previous to the organization
a minor percentage were lawyers
and accountants.

lar marked abaility in the tech

lper cent of these show crimina
