DRESS WITH NEW HIP TREATMENT

There are houscfrocks AND housefrocks, but here's one of the cleverest we've seen in many a day. For Claire Tilden's Pattern 922 is an at-home style with a difference. Its novelty lies in those ingenious tri- angular pieces at the hips. They're easy-as-pie to stitch in .. they em- phasize a reed-like waist they give trim, smooth fit |. and they create flare in the skirt below and easy fullness in the bodice above. All this, with no belt, no waistline scanning, no fuss or bother-a truly perfect style to make at home. Gen. erous shoulder darts give smooth fit on top. The "duet" buttoning down the front makes this frock quick in-and outer and is decorative as well. Isn't the collar attractively shaped-it may be in gay contrast And wouldn't ruffle or ric-rac edg- ing on both the collar and the l shortsleeved style look feminine and dainty? An unusually becoming dress for cheerful home wear. i Pattern 922 is cut in misses and women's sizes IA, 16, IS, 20, 32, 34 36, 38, 40, A and A. Size 16 re- quires 3 3-4 yards 35 inch fabric anc 1% yards ruffling.

RAISING A FAMILY On'tChOOse rChild's Friendships
: RAISING A FAMILY
By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

By OLIVE kObEhIS bAh1ON
 If Tommy brings in boy whom we consider quite undesirable, should we:
 A. Send the child home?
 B. Wait until we are sure he Is really a bad boy and talk it over with Thomas later?
 c. Scold Tommy for not using better judgment?
 D. Tell our child that hereafter we will choose his friends?
 The second answer is wise. Often a parent is impressed by the poor conduct of neighbor, and does not see the good points he may possess Then, too, this child may appeal to our own by for some reason we cannot see. Children choose their friends, just as we do, for certain reasons. It may be that Buck, ol Butch, or whatever his name is really is bully and deserves oul poor opinion. Yet, it may be jus as possible that Tommy is terribl, pleased and excited that this boy O all others has 'condescended" to b, chums.
 It sets up a feeling of self-port ance in our Tom. Perhaps he ha been thought "mama's boy" by al the kids. He suddenly finds an op

Lydia B. Koch-who, 1t Is alleged, sold more than million dollars worth of stocks on the basis of fraud and misrepresentation.
 Miss Schwartz examined all the witnesses, prepared the papers served on Mrs. Koch (which look thick enough to have been the manuscript for Gone With the Windy and will try the case when 1t comes up.
 In eight years of trying to keep New Workers from buying gold bricks Miss Schwartz has come to q number of conclusions about swindlers and suckers.
 MEN EASIEST PREY
 FOR WOMEN
 She says: Women swindlers are few and far between, but when they do go in for swindling, it's in big way.
 "Women buy more worthless etock than men-the most trusting women being widows. school teach CTS, and servant girls.
 'Men are an easy prey for wo- men swindlers, because man usually figures that he couldn't be outsmarted by woman and isn't on his guard.
 If everyone would follow these few rules the swindlers would have q tough time of it.
 s'One: Never trust the person who comes to you asking you tc invest money. Reputable houses don't send strangers to your home
 1.-TWO: Beware of anyone who gays you must buy stock to get a job.
 "Three: Remember that there just aren't such things as fabulous dividends.
 sFour: Don't consider buying stock you don't know anything about. It is easy enough to check with your bank, with your law. yer, or with reputable broker"

Sound slumber rudely disturbed and by a dream that binds and hems in the sleeper. He can't push through the entanglements, try hard as he may.
 A reason for this nightmarish dream? Psychologists would get to the bottom of it. When a man dreams of struggling through a for est, where every step is impeded by undergrowth, they know that he has troublesome problem.
 The struggle may symbolize obli- gations he finds difficulty in meet ing. Or it may mean an undesir- able iation-with friends or in business.
 Don't scoff at dreams, they are not idle ramblings of the uncon- Scious mind. Rather, during sleep our unconscious mind rises to the surfaces there is no Censor to suppress what bubbles forth. St dreams are mirrors of our trut selves.
 You can discover and understand many personal problems when yo' know meanings of dreams.

.BEAUTx- ''=''-'- Gloriting
 Yourself
NEA Service Staff Writer
By Alicia Hart

Even models-those glamous girls who gaze at us from magazine cov- CTS, billboards and fashion pages have to work at staying youthfully attractive They, like Mrs. Average Woman, know very well that preser- vation of good looks means con- stant and correct attention to sim pie beauty routines.
 Each of the better known mod els appears to have worked out a system whereby she can keep her figure trim, hair glossy, skin smooth and unlined and hands lovely in a minimum of time.
 For instance, one particularly beautiful model says that she walks around her room on tiptoeS ten minutes a day and she believes that this keeps her legs slim. In the morning, she walks barefooted, on toes, to her bath. At night, she does the same thing. Furthermore, she stands on her head once a day-to stimulate circulation in face and scalp and to keep her muscles lim- Der.
 Three years ago when I started massaging my fingers, from tips upward, my hands were short stubby looking" the models adds. "Now my fingers are more slender, more tapering. This has been accom- plished by massage alone. I do 1t whenever I am sitting in a photog- rapher's waiting room, on a train | drier."

glasses of water a day-two of them when she gets up in the morning.
 T think plenty of sleep, enough exercise and the great amount of water which I drink must keep me healthy" she explained. T really am, you know. I never seem to catch gold, and I can't remember when I missed a days work because of illness"
 Among her other beauty hints are: creaming her elbows when she creams her face; gently pulling her eyelashes when she covers them with vaseline before going to bed; rolling her eyes from side to side whenever they are tired.

 HELD DOUBTFUL
Bill Before House : Don 1 Rely on lis Passage,
 Says Dimond

There is no indication yet in Washington whether the annual assessment work requirements will be suspended this year, Alaska Del egate Anthony J. Dimond replied today to a query from the office of Gov. John w. Troy.
 A bill before the House Commit tee on Mines and Mining would sus- pend assessment. work on mining claims if enacted, but it is impos- sible to tell at this date what the measures chances are, Dimond said.
 Last year moratorium act was passed, but not until June 29, the day before the close of the fiscal year, by which time the assessment work, which must be worth $100 and means from 12 to 20 days of labor must be completed.
 Tt is definitely hazardous to rely on an assessment work moratorium" at this session, Dimond opined.

UPPER FLOAT JAlNkED WITH SNAIL BOATS
Crowded Harbor Facilities an Open Prayer for
 War Office Work

If a few Congressmen could see the Upper City Float of Juneau today, the War Department Appro- priation Bill would be through the mill insfj just about as long as it takes for the House and Senate to rise and say Aye" as a unit.
 This noon, there were exactly 72 fishing boats and a number of skiffs and outboard boats moored in the pitifully small boat basin be- tween the Cold Storage and the City Dock. f E z
 At one place, eight craft were moored side to side on the out side of the float reaching string of boats dangerously far out into the roadstead.
 Three boats were on the gridirons and owners of other boats, attempt ing to get inside" for position to go on the grids on flood tide, were forced to typical twisting maneu- vers that endanger other craft and their gear seriously.
 It is said the War Department is waiting for. Congressional passage of the appropriation measure before opening bids on the dredging of Juneau's small boat harbor, break waters for which have been com pleted. asss l. }s4 o E
