THE Emil Hurjas kept open
L house Sunday for guests
who came to meet the Hurjas'
honor guests, the Marquis
Jameses, stayed (the majority of
them) for the buffet supper and
impromptu musicale later. RENO
Luono, young Finnish pianist,
who is going to play at the first
of the Watergate Concerts, and
Kurt Hetzel both played di-
vinely. Charlie Garlic sang and
the entrance hall of the Hurja
house, which is just off the mu-
sic room, looked like an audito-
rum it was so packed with in
terested listeners.
Mrs. MarquiSe James, who has
the most exquisite coloring,
golden hair, blue eyes and pink
and cream skin, is completely
fascinating and looks much too
young to have a 14-year-old
daughter, Cynthia, Mrs. James,
among other things which she
does exceptionally well, plays
skillful game of tennis and rides
magnificently, though a fall she
had nearly a year ago has
caused Mr.. James to frown Sc
verely on any riding activities
whatever.
ELIZABETH CANADA, who

ways delightfully."-, has closed her
apartment in the Shoreham and
gone back to her home, Mem
phis, Tenn, for a month, when
she will go to California. Pro
vided that she doesn't take off
on an already planned around
the-world trip, she will return
to Washington next November.
We hope so.

Squash, Pumpkin, Cucumber, Melon, Gourd
Found in Distinctive Class of It's Own

''All the pumpkin tribes are
among the marvels of the vegetable
world" writes DR.. H. L. Bailey,
famous horticulturist. The point
that he makes is the result of years
of experiment with the various
members Of the pumpkin, squash,
cucumber, melon and gourd family.
For many years students of horti-
culture have attempted the cross
ing of pumpkins and squashes to
produce hybrids only to prove that
each of the species fallc into a dis
stinct class of its own. They have
evolved into individual groups, just
as man has evolved into the hui
man being and cannot be crossed
successfully with another species in
the animal world.
The marvel to which Bailey re-
fers is the vast variety of pump
kins, squashes, cucumbers, melons
and gourds, all going back to an
original form, called by botanists
Cucurhitacae, but no longer revert
ing to the prehistoric type. Al
though the pumpkin and the squash
are thought of as two of our most
common garden vegetables, they
should be regarded as amazing be-
cause Of the countless number of
forms.
Take the gourd for example, q

She turned, seeking the reinsurance
of Don's presence; but he had dis
covered friend among the pas
sengers: q little woman who, Nora
thought, looked like missionary.
And then, almost weirdly in that
last confusing moment-breakin
through shouts of "All ashore" and
shrieking sirens, the certainty that
though she could not see him her
father was somewhere amid that
throng-too proud to speak, yet low
ing her too greatly to stay away,
fell on the girls bruised heart like
balm.
The gangplank was up now-the
boat moving. Nora pressed closer
to the rail--raised her arm high
waved white wisp of handkerchief
and shouted with a hundred others:
"Good-by Good-by :"
"Who was it, dear?" The voice
was Don's. His hand closed over
her possessively. Such a strong
hand! "Who was it, Nora? / saw
you waving. Find someone you
knew in all that jam?"
His wife looked up. Her eyes
were wet, but with deep sense of
thankfulness Don saw that they
were happy eyes.
"I-I was just-waving," said
Nora simply.

Dresses That FIatter Figure

fullness that you need in the
blouse. The long, unbroken line
from shoulder to hem takes inches

dress of silk crepe, small figured

popular member of the Cucurbita-
cae family. There are all sizes and
shapes Of gourds. Not only does
their form vary, but their color diff
fers also. They may be striped or
spotted, squatty or tapering, yellow
or purple. Some have bumps and
others are smooth. But all Of them
are gourds = not pumpkins or
squashes. Although they are men,
bers of the same family, they are
definite species and cannot be
crossed with other species, such as
the pumpkin and the squash, to pro-
duce fertile hybrids.

PERHAPS JERSEYS MAYOR SHOULD
 GET AROUND MORE

Freak ideas about Alaska appear to be always with regardless of the campaign of education which has been going for great many years. The latest comes from man who should know better Mayor Frank Hague of Jersey City In effort to attract attention to himself and keep the headlines Mayor Hague has been kicking up a stir no end by bouncing on anybody who comes to his town and tries to make } speech which the Mayor does not like He has gotten himself dubbed the great redbaiter of the east coast and is wallowng in a dandy puddle of na- tional publicity To all of which we have not the slightest objection, Jersey City and Mayor Hague being good substantial distance away.
 But when the Jersey Mayor starts making sug- gestions about establishing camps in Alaska for what he admits to be undesrables are forced to grab up the old editorial musket in defense of home and country.
 year or two ago some brilliant chap suggested starting penal colony on Rat Island Perhaps that is what gave Mayor Hague the idea for the statement he made yesterday in court in Newark that persons who object to the present plan government be placed in a camp in Alaska to keep them away from the American people"
 Just what sort of people does the noisy Jersey Mayor think have in Alaska?
 '"To keep them away from the American people" clips off as easy that as if the residents of the Territory were not under just the same flag as the unenightened executive of Jersey City.
 wc don't want any of Mayor Hague's undesirables in Alaska any more than he wants them in Jersey City. Besides they would be unhappy up here Aliens which Mayor Hague refers to- would be much more likely to find their mother tongue spoken in Jersey City across the river in New York than they ever would in Alaska, where are incidentally, Americans and speak the language. Maybe that's what's the matter with the Mayor He's been in Jersey City so long he's forgotten what it's like in America

 In the meantime glad to the Navy visiting us again It is anticipated that vessels from the force will be in Juneau off and on during the summer. The Hopkins and Barry are only the ad- vance guard according to reports. Others will be along later.
 We hope one or more of the Navy's ships can be in the harbor the Fourth of July weekend. Virtu- ally all the cities down the coast have Navy visit during the Independence Day celebration. In view o the fact that the naval force is going to be and more in Alaska would like to suggest that the practice be started in Juneau this year.
