Another thing to remember Is not
to have your summer frocks fitted
too closely. DON think that I ad
vocate going around in dress a
size too large so that you look for
all the world like a sack tied in the
middle. but uon't have yotlr collars
too high. your belts too snug Of
YOUR sleeves to tight. Give the air
room to circulate if you want to
take advantage of any stray breezes
that come your way.
In recent years cotton under
clothes have come into vogue for
summer wear and they are a boon
to the busy woman. Cotton slips
are less clinging than silk one and
they are easier to wash and iron.
Comfortable shoes, too, go far to-
ward helping you through a trying
summer. It's not necessary to get
them too large, but you will often
find that your feet are more COM
Portable in a size wider than you
are accustomed to wear in winter
Remember that comfort and utll-
ity are prime Importance in sum-
.mer. Beauty in summer depends
to a great extent on cleanliness. II
vour hot-weather frocks are easily
tubable and tubbed frequently your
major wardrobe problem is solved
What are your beauty problems:
Write Marie Downing, Larieuse
Beauty Foundation, Room 52l-olS

and she will be glad to answer
them. Be sure to enclose selt-ad'

between town and country-have brought widely separated sections of the United States within hall ing distance of each other-broadened our horizons many times.
 Even though it impossible to reduce our traffic accident toll by death, it still might well be that the advantages of the motor car far out weigh it's attendant traffic accident problem That is not to say that traffic accident casualties cannot be reduced-for they Fortunately, many accl- dents are preventable and sound problem is point ing the way to their prevention.
 This is not being done alone to reduce accidents, but because we realize the advantages of automove
 transportation and wish to increase the social benefits which accrue from the broad use of the automobile.
 Stated in another way, the attack on prevent able traffic accidents is simply drive for more complete enjoyment-a larger usefulness for all of the motor car In short, a program which will have as it's effect broadening of the individuals horizon still further.

Impressing Japan
Cleveland Plain Dealer)

Cleveland Plain Dealer
 In attempting to bring about a temporary re- ciprocal trade arrangement with the United States Japan conveniently overlooks the basic for the denunciaton of the old treaty-the ignoring of American trading rights in Japanese occupied China Tokyo hopes to patch matters up by directing at Sention solely to commercial relations between this country and Japan So far Secretary Hull has failed to answer overture made along these lines before January thereby letting it be under stood that Washington is interested only in solu- tion of Americas status on the mainland Substan- tial guarantees, not more promises rightly asked for
 slow and deliberate approach to the problem such as Hull has evinced is undoubtedly the best policy to pursue If this country showed itself in hurry to come to new agreement the impression would immediately be spread in Japan that we could again be lightly dealt with. If we are we are in earnest in insisting on our rights Especi- ally will this be the with customer profit able as is Japan. In 1888, the last year for winch figures available, sold Japan $288, ,588,O00 worth of goods, against purchases from Japan of SITS 758O00, the largest favorable balance in our trade relations with the empire. This will be strong talking point for Tokyo It also has it's un favorable side from the American viewpoint for most of this favorable balance is accounted for by the shipment of war materials for in China
 Haste either in resuning normal commercial re- latons or in imposing restrictions supplies might work to the United States disadvantage Caution now, especially since Japan has rather cavaliery treated past protests, should give Tokyo to understand that we mean business.

Opportunity A-KnOcking
(Ketcnikan Chronicle)

(Ketcnkan Chronicle)
 Aaska's own resources and products do not by any means represent every possible avenue of de- veopment. Next year, the year after and a hun dred years from scientists will be discovering way to make useful that which now is regarded waste
 Alaskans have first rate example often used in these columns as an argument for a tlSherles Research Laboratory such as is now definitely as Sured for Ketchikan That is the halibut liver once thrown into the sea as waste, now bringing price per pound far greater than the rest of the fish. That development took place in the decade just closed It vitally affected the halbut fishing fleet. And there is reason to believe that the 40s will not uncover other developments even more far-reaching in their effects on the fisheries of Alaska. f.
 And look at the forests The Forest Service both in Alaska and in the States, is keenly aware of the hidden opportunities and has been trying to uncover them, let industry know about them, and thus make the forests still more useful to man.

 but do eot compel"
THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 8


 Benefic aspects are strong to- day. It is a lucky date for signing big contracts for engineering or con- struction and seems to presage work on some sort of Qualifications early in the spring. Women should prof it through their special work un- der this configuration.
 Heart and Home: There is a promising sign for domestic har- mony. Members of the family will benefit through independent inter ests. Buying and selling should be postponed until more propitious date. Business affairs should be satisfactory to wage-earners, and the home should be a happy cen- ter today.
 Business Affairs Portents of a trend toward business dictation over government are seen. Adjustments to mitigate the evils of certain laws are forecast. Relations with Can- ada should be prc fitable Better conditions for men with small cap ital are presaged.
 National Issues: Definite poli- tical lines will be drawn on age lim- itationS in the national election, when the stars will frown upon office-holding tenacity on the part of public men Statesmen who have become dictators will lose influence While reactionary forces will stim- ulate conservative views, new lead CTS will gain.
 International Affairs: As secret negotiations proceed among the nations of Europe, the stars pre- sage extraordinary pacts that bode ill for the future South Amer ican navies are to contribute to the anxieties and uncertainties which seem to await the springtme Great suffering among Russian soldiers and heavy losses are indicated, but Stalin's power will not be overcome at an early date.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of changes Gains will follow losses fer certain men. Strangers should be accept ed warily.
 Children born on this day will be keen of mind and talented. They may be exceedingly ambitious, crit ical and resourceful They will rise in social and financial standing.

SEATTLE TO JUNEAU BY AIR

Alaskans have reason to be elated at the news from Washington yesterday that hearing has been set in the matter of Pan American Airways service between Seattle, Ketchkan and Juneau.
 Juneau has been looking forward a long time to the day when travel between Alaska and the States will be a matter of hours instead of days. It is a day which is certain to come, and we are encouraged by such developments yesterdays to hope it will be here soon
 Pan American has applied tU vle Civil Aeronau- tics Authority for certificate of convenience and necessity over the route This indicates that the company, at least, is willing to go ahead with the service That PA will be able to convince the CAA of the desrability of the new route is fore gone conclusion.
 We hope to see those big flying boats passing overhead before many months are out The route thoroughly tested in experimental flights over year ago. Since that time landing facilities have been provided at Aux Bay by the Forest Service. If the company is able to obtain the planes it needs from factories which choked just now with war orders from abroad, regular Seattle -to-Juneau air mail and passenger service should be a reality in the very near future
