of deep red are in effective
contrast to the light-toned
walls and French windows,
which are draped with gold
brocade. Arriving early, we
sat and chatted with our
hostess and Sonora de Gar
ella Godoy, lamenting that
the fall with it's glorious
foliage had passed and re-
joicing that Senior Godoy,
the Counselor Of the Domini-
can Legation, was sufficient
ly recovered to return from

In to pay her respects and was

be the guest of honor at party
to be given at the st. Regis by
Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Leeds. She
will rejoin Mr.. GroSner at their

dence the first of next week.
For her journey she was wear
ing a smart black ensemble
trimmed in Persian lamb, her
toque having a definitely Rus
sian influence. and over her arm
she carried a luxurious mink
coat.
Another caller, and it was her
first visit at this legation, was
Mrs. Cordell Hull, wife of the
Secretary of State. She was in
an olive green wool crepe gown,
worn with a mink coat and a
brown velour hat. She was on
her way to Mrs. Claude Swan
sons tea where she claims she
is the "star boarder," due to the
fact that the previous afternoon
she had received with Mrs.
Swanson throughout the after
noon. She would be one of the
welcome type of 'star boarderS"
in anyone'S home.

He was joint author with MT.

Our First Division Representatives

EDITORS NOTE)-The material for the following intimate survey of the records of the First Division members of the 18th session of the Alaska Legislature was compiled by Mildred R. Hermann from inter- views with various members and from journals of the proceedings of the two Houses. It aims to no more than to present, as briefly and concisely as possible, the record of each member of the legislature, bas- ed upon his work in the legislature. It should serve to bring to the vOt- CTS of the First Division know ledge of what their representatives have done and a greater interest in their territorial government.
 The complete summary of all leg islators may be found in the special Women's Club Edition of the Alaska Daily Press.

THE HOUSE
First Division

J. P. ANDERSON, of Juneau serving his first term, as a Territor- ial legislator. Mr Anderson, who is a substantial business man of Ju- neau, has done creditable work for the Division and the Territory. A sound thinker and hard worker, he has given careful and Conscientious consideration to all measures com ing before him, has been willing and able to speak constructiYely, and has in general eXerted a good in- fluence on legislation this year. He most progressive measures making their appearance this year, unfort- unately saw most of them defeated. Among the bills introduced by him were the liquor referendum bill, the primary election reform bill, design ed to take the primary election out of politics, and the Sanitary Code measure introduced at the present session, thuogh it was unfortunately cumbersome and difficult of admin istration. We would rate MT. Al derson as fearless and honest pub lie servant, not quite as aggressive as might be desired but thoroughly honest and unbiased, and a tireless worker. He voted for the Liquor Re frendum Bill, for the McCutcheon saloon bill, for the primary election reform bill, for the Industrial ln- surance bill, for the Sanitary Code, bill, for the gold tax bill, against the Coffey memorial providing for the abolition of Fish traps, and all other fish trap memorials, for the repeal of the Alaska exclusive clause in the Jones Act.
 CAPTAIN J. V. DAVIS, of Juneau A new man in the legislature and in politics this year. Captain Davis is head of the Davis Transportation Company of Juneau, and is rated as one of the soundest and ablest busi- ness men in the First Division, with al more or less a capitalist. He prov ed to be a shrewd legislator, and an fighter for anything he believed in, although his views of ten failed to coincide with our own. mastered the technique of procedure

through the Senate. He voted for the gold tax bill, against the Nepotism bill, for the sanitary code measure three against the Alaska Ex- clusion Clause in the Jones Act, for the Dimond bonding measure, and against the Rivers liquor bill which he characterized as the worst liquor bill he had ever, ever seen. Not an orator, he was not adverse to lock ing horns with anyone in defense of measures he favored.

THE SENATE First Division

HENRY RIDDEN, of Juneau-Sen- for Senator of the First Division, MT. Roden was easily this year the outstanding legislative personality in the entire assembly, his keen in sight into the needs of the Terri tory, and his answering fairness in his approach to all legislative mat ters making him a stabilizing in fluence in a session too frequently inclined to husteria. An able law yer and seasoned legislator, iJ was his work that smoothed away the intricacies of the complicated so- cial security measures, and brought order out of chaos in the many sloppily prepared bills that came up from the lower House. A Cireless and efficient worker, he was like wise an able speaker and his or ation against the passage of the gold tax bill, made before the com mittee of the whole in the House, was the finest speech made on the floor of either House this session. He had sweryed somewhat away from his fomer stand as labor leg islator this year, but remained sted- fast in his devotion to the welfare of the Territory, and the people In it, working tirelessly for measures designed to give protection where it was needed and to further the de- yelopment of the Territorys re- sources. He was the author of number of the most constructive measures to be enacted into law at this session including the bill pro viding for the experimental fur farms. the bill regulating insurance companies operating in the Terri tory, the bill providing for Terr'- torial assay offices, and many other meritorious measures. He also au- .thored the anti-Nespotism bill, which woald have forbidden the employment of relatives of Terri torial officers by the government, saw it lose again in the Senate. He voted and worked against the pas sage of the gold tax bill, against the sanitary code measure, against the repeal of the Alaska Exclusion Clause in the Jones Act, against the An derson Liquor Referendum measure, against the Dimond Bonding Meas ure.
 NORMAN R. WALKER, of Ketch- ikan - Serving his second term as Senator from this Division, MT Walker, though often differing from his colleague, MT. Roden, nev- ertheless established a good record as a sound and fearless legislator. He was the author of number of good measures, including the bill to provide fingerprint department and rogues gallery to be operated under the direction of the Attorney General which was vetoed by Gov ernOr Troy. He also was largely re5- ponsible for the final passage of the sanitary code measure, introducing it in the Senate on the closing day of the extraordinary session, after it had twice been defeated by that group, and successfully pushing it through to passage. He was one of the most active floor workers for the passage of the gold tax bill, and largely responsible for it's getting

mastered the techniqce of procedure
 much more rapidly than most of his fellow House members and was an able tactician and a good stratigist, Regarded as an insurgent Democrat,
 he had campaigned against the ab-
 olition of Fish Traps, made no 0oIes
 of the fact that he would fight any
 move to abolish them, being him self a fish trap owner. He led the
 House fight to preserve the school
 bus service, both at the regular and
 the extraordinary sessions, and used
 effort in his power to secure this
 end Unfortunately he failed to func-
 tion up to his usual standards the
 final night of the session, when the
 appropriation for this purpose was
 deleted by the Senate, but as a gen. eral all-round and abOve-board
 fighter for what he believed in, he
 was not surpassed by any member in. either House. He voted against the Liquor Referendum bill, against all the fish trap memorials, against the Sanitary Code measure, for the Me Cutcheon saloon bill, for the con-
 tinued operation of school buses, against the repeal of the Alaska EX clusion Clause in the Jones Shipping Act, against the primary election reform bill, against the Industrial Insurance bill.
 HARRY RACE, of Ketchikan -- One of the two Republican members in the legislature this year, MT. Race was likewise a neophyte att the lawmaking job. A substantial business man, owning drug stores in both Ketchikan and Juneau, he possessed a good business back ground for the work, and was, in addition, one of the two college trained men in the House. MT. Race proved himself to be possessed of considerable ability in a legislative way, but unfortunately did not al- ways use it as he might. Had he been inclined to devote himself to the task of lawmaking he could have easily been the outstanding man in the House this year. He was good rough and ready speaker, though no orator, quickly grasped the technique of procedure, and more quickly than the average could see the import of measures in troduced. He was absent, however, from many sessions, and not always at his best when present, though his record generally runs about average. His greatest service to the Ferli- tory was rendered when he Intro duced and pushed through to final passage the bill providing for ani experimental fisheries laboratory, l this being one of the few construct tive measures to pass both Houses this year.
