MATANUsKA INVESTIGATION
ASKED IN HOUSE MEMORIAL

JUNEAU = The house passed a
memorial Saturday asking an inves-
tigation of the Matanuska farm
colony.
Another memorial passed by the
house would require Gamers to bono
shipments of fish sent on common
carriers, requiring the latter to re-
ceive affidayits that all labor is paid
off The measure is designed to pro-
tect workers from nearly bankrupt
packers who ship packs out without
paying their workers.
The house also passed a memorial
asking a higher duty on imported
herring in the hope that Alaska s
herring fisheries will be deyeloped
anew.

MUST SALUTE FLAG,
NEW YORK COURT RULES

Under normal conditions the re
fusal of a school pupil to salute the
National Colors, which are displayed
in every class room, might be re-
garded as the inconsequential act
of a publicity seeking smart alec
but in these days when subversiye
isms have seized upon the free, tax
supported public schools of the Ma
ton as a recruiting agency for
their alien ideologies, no gesture of
defiance on the part of a student, no
infraetion of the rules which govern
these educational institutions, no
act which may intensity the crit
icism being leveled at these bull
warks of democracy may be lightly
dismissed, for much may depend up
on an intelligent and judicious ap-
proach to any disposition of the
same.
For some time past, ever and anon
a case has appeared in the press
concerning students in New York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania and other
states who have, upon so-called re-
ligious grounds, refused to salute
their Nations Flag. holding the same
to constitute a form of idolatry and
as such, to violate their religious
predictions These students have
belonged to a rather new sect called
"Jehovah's Witnesses" a movement
which about 1916, sprang into be-
ing from the teachings and writ
ings of one Charles Taze Russell of
Pittsburg. "Jehovah's Witnesses"
are also known as "Russellites" and
number about $4,000 followers.
The latest case of this nature,
which occurred in New York State,
involved pupil by the name Of
Grace Sandstrom u of Brookhaven,
who had been suspended several
times for refusing to salute the Col
ors, following which her parents
were convicted of violating the ed
vocational law by failing to have
their daughter attend school, Deci-
sion in this case rested with the
Court of Appeals at Albany which,
on January 18th, held unanimously
that children in New York State's
Public Schools can be compelled to
salute the flag.
Chief Judge Frederick E. Crane
held that the saluting of the flag is
not form OF idolatry and not in
violation of any religion; further,
that the flag salute law was not
intended to force patriotism on
children by military order, but only
to make them understand what the
flag stands for. That the little girl
in question based her refusal to sal
ute the flag ON more serious grounds
than simply a moral Discrimination
was evidenced by her explanation,
when the battle of Armageddon
comes would be slain because the
flag is an image and it says in the
Bible not to bow down to images.
1t would not be amiss for her to
give a thought to those defenders
of our Nation, in its various wars,
who have gladly laid down their
lives for that flag and the exalted
principles of democratic government
which its starry folds symbolic
principles which are today being en-
joyed in full measure by Grace
Sandstrom and her parents.

The feminine type of frock is the most popular and flatering of all summer styles and, in this new Pattern 835, the trend is at its best for matrons. The slin1-of line fea- lures are many and noteworthy. Just glance at the darted-in flatness over the diaphragm and see, too, the panelled slenderness of the skirt, which flares so gently and fashionable at the hem. The new type yoke forms 8 wide scallop at center. It is very becoming with all that generous (but not too gener- ousD fitness over the bust. And this Claire Tilden design takes hot weather into account not only in the cut of its be-frilled sweet heart neck, but also in the loose, summery sleeves. This easily-made triumph offers as well, puff sleeves as seen in the background! Pattern 835 is cut in. women's sizes 34, 36, 38, 40. AZ, A, 46 and 48.

REVIVAL OF OLD THEORY OF
 TOOTH DECAY

From the bacteriologic obServa- ton of hundreds of children over period of several years we have indubitable proof, wrote Russell w. Bunting, DD.Sc., Professor of Oral Pathology in the University of Michigan School of Dentistry, that B. acidophilus invariably ap- pears in the mouth of the child be- fore cavities form in the teeth. Until that organism Bacillus aci- dophilus) does infest the mouth there are no cavities formed. Prof. Bunting is still quite firm about this. He made the assertion I quote in a paper read before the A. A. A. s. in Atlantic City in De- cember, 1882. Just the other day the American Dental association released to the press some further observations of Dr. Bunting,s, in which he denies that tooth decay or carries (cavity formation) may be prevented by correcting general nutrition, that is, by seeing that the child gets sufficient calcium and phosphorus in food and sufficient sunshine vitamin D to assure nor- mai utilization and retention of these elements, so essential in the development of sound teeth. So essential according to the newer knowledge of nutrition and the ex- perience and observation of great many competent physicians and dentors. If it were almost any one else l might sweep him and his conten- ton aside. But you can't handle a man like Dr. Bunting that way. I doubt if even the Great Pooh- Bah of the A. M. A. could dispose of him and his contention by printing a characteristic editorial attack un- der the whitening title of "The Misrepresentation of Russell w. Bunting"
 B. acidophilus needs no introduc- ton to valetudinarians of the tur- gid twenties, for it is the identical germ that succeeded Metchnikoff,s ] celebrated Bulgarian bacillus, in cultures used for souring or fer menting milk. An old-timer here and there, if any surviving, may remember that never did recog- nize any superiority of Bulgarian sour milk or Acidophilus sour milk over plain sour milk or buttermilk as a health beverage or a remedy for anything and the interests made me smart plenty for my atti- tude, too.
 But my relative coolness toward the fancy sour milk beverages never contemplated such an idea as this conceived by Dr. Bunting - that the harmless, nay, beneficial tactic bacillus is responsible for de- cay of the teethI Especially the more exclusive strain of lectic acid bacillus known as Acidophilus. I'm glad it is Dr. Bunting who takes this stand and not I.
 Dr Bunting contends that limited use of sugars and Starches in the diet will reduce the growth of aci- dophilus bacilli in the mouth nearly or quite to zero, and in these cases dental decay will be arrested. This is getting back to the old theory that sugar, candy and sweets favor decay of the teeth.
 1, Frankly don't believe 1t. Let the candy makers and the dentrifice vendors fight it out.

 Beauty experts agree that makeup should be used to dramatize the natural texture of the skin = not conceal 1t. They advise us to wear a light film of powder-not a thick coat of it. They want our cheeks tinted mot colored; our lips colored not painted.
 Therefore treatment preparations are highlighted on cosmetic counters these days.
 Particularly interesting is 8 new type of cleanser which, if used cor rectly and regularly, will remove foreign matter from enlarged pores. Once the fatty deposits are remov- ed, the pores tend to shrink back to normal. Furthermore, the clean ser really leaves face and throat shades winter than you've dreamed they could be.
 CREAM, YET
 NOT A CREAM
 It looks like cream, but it isn't exactly a cream. You simply smooth a film of it on face and neck, then massage it in. When 1t has disap- peared, moisten f1ngertips with luke warm water and rub them lightly over the surface of the skin. The action of the water with the cream" produces 8 thin, light lath- CT.
 Using circular motions, work the father around and around. Then remove it with a washcloth wrung out of tepid water. Rinse skin with cold water in the usual manner. Use the cleanser only at night if your skin is quite dry and sensitive; both night and morning if you have a normal or oily complexion.
