vENETIE CHILDREN V.
 HAVE SCHEME FOR
 BUYING WAR BONDS

Native children at Venetie are do- ing their bit in providing funds to help their country in the war effort, Claude M, Hirst, Superintendent of the Alaska Office of Indian Affairs, reports.
 A letter received by Mir Hirst from John Fredson. of Venetie, tells of how the children are making "V'' for Victory posters, selling them for from 25 cents to dollar, then buy ing war stamps or bonds with the proceeds. r,
 If the. children collect $50, the Venetie Trading Co. will put up the other $25 with which to purchase a S75 bond which will mature at Si00 in ten years.
 The children already have col lected more than $25 and expect tc do better when the muskrats begin coming in. Fredson writes.

TO STUDY PINK SALMON FRY. IN
 SA5HIN GREEK

The U. 5. F. s. Heron has arrived at Little Port Walter and prepara- tions are being made to count the pink salmon fry resulting from the eggs spawned in Sashin Creek last fall, reports s. J. Hutchinson, fishery biologist of the Fish and Wildlife Service, United States Department of the Interior, who is in charge of the spring field work.
 The developing pink salmon brood in Sashin Creek has been subjected 10 severe injuries during the past few months. A heavy snowfall oc- cured in the watershed of the stream during the early part of the winter This was followed by a period of heavy rains. and excessive floods produced by the rain and melting snow literally secured the stream. As a result. many thou sands of eggs and immature fry were washed out of the gravel and thou Sdlluo Oi OblltlS Wtlt Duiit tWO il four feet deep by the shifting stream bed.
 During the last of December and the first days of January, the weather turned clear and cold and the stream dropped to it's lowest level in the past two years. Every part of the exposed stream bed was frozen solid and more potential fry destroyed Therefore a bumper crop Of fry cannot be expected this spring. although the largest number of spaWners in the stream recorded to date-some 80,0O0-were counted through the weir last fall
 No information has been available heretofore on the quantitative in- fluence of the envronmental fac tors on the survival or reactions oi the pink salmon. Continuous year round observations in Sashin Greek are providing data that may be usec to lay a basis for accurately pre- dieting the abundance of pink sal. mon in each years run in Southeast Alaska.

And any | ,ne or all of these, if passed, could nave mere effect on you, whether you warm luxurious leather behind I mahogany desk in Wall Street, or l hoe a rocky acre at the forks of the creek, than anything that has been l done since Pearl Harbor. It took a lot of phenagling by ad- ministrative leaders on the hill to keep Congress sitting quietly while the President drew up his overall program.
 That Connally bill in the Senate, not a drastic measure in itself but clearing the way for argument and possible amendments on every labor issue from wage control to the clos ed shop, almost blew the lid off.
 Although still in committee, the Smith Vinson bill in the House of Representatives threatened to cause similar explosion in the Capltols south wing.
 The Presidents right hand men ill Congress had some bad moments be- fore they got all this dynamite wrapped up and labeled not to be opened until the President had had his say.
 Those who crave action may be asking why the delay. l know at least the administration answer. It is simply that they don't want any laws passed in the heat of battle that might boomerang on the war effcrt Some of the laws proposed, in the opinion of the administra- tion, might have ben just that. That's why the President took a hand. That's how the lull came about.
 But it's almost over and if you like legislative fireworks, keep your eyes on Capitol Hill. Only drench- ing downpour of public indifference can put out the fuses now.

Many parents have stood behind
their children in situations Of which
they did not approve, because one
of the rules in the code Of thor
oughbred is that parents do not let
their children down.
Dear Mrs. Post: Was saying
thank you" enough when leaving

very kind to invite me to come with
a friend to their house to dinner?
7 shall probably never be able to
give these people any return in

Answer: THANK you" is proper
so far as it goes, but you should
say little more than just these
words. For instance, thank you

may, for instance, describe a new
perfume, knowing that many
women will adore it, but be unable
to adopt it for her own use. Such
Is the case with pine and this
beauty editor. We are in the mi
nority where pine fragrance Is con-
cerned because we just don't like
the aroma of pine unless it's
emanating from tree. We have
described pine bath oils and such
in the past-and we'll probably go
on describing them, but we can't
sell ourself on the idea.
This particular alergy has always
been a great trial to a charming
lady, originally of Vienna, who is
famous in the beauty world as the
originator of true, spicy pine prod
ucts. 1t has beeen her habit to pay
us a visit once a year to discuss
said products and urge us to try
them. We have tried them and
found them excellent-if you like
pine. However, this year our
friend walked into the Office with
happy look on her face. you

you'll like a new toilet water with
the true fragrances Of wild flowers,
white lilac predominating."
Well, sir, she was right. This
new toilet water is light. sophisti-
Gated and delicate-all at the same
time. It's a perfect summer frag-
rance that puts you into a festive
mood Immediately. And no one is
more appreciative Of this new
product than a certain gal who
doesn't like pine.

typical of Americans, the beauty
experts have solved the problem

were fashionable. A large, comfort
able living room at the right is full
of the deep color of fine rugs and
portraits. Everywhere are masses of
flowers, as Father Coad, who lives
there, is a great gardener and en-
joys the flower arrangements which
so perfectly complete each room.
His sunlit dining room has walls
designed as background for deep
polished mahogany, rare old lace
and the garlands of deep red ram
bier roses which fill it. Though this
house was built at an earlier date,
its historic fame dates from the time
Mrs. Lee brought her son, Robert E.
Lee, there to live in 1918. 1t was
here, too, that he took his instruc-
ton to enter.West Point.
In 1795, when the City of Wash
ington was merely wonderful plan
on paper, Alexandria was an inter-
esting and fashionable city. All the
families who owned plantations
through Tidewater Virginia, such as
the Washingtons, Lees and Masons,
came to town for the season or for
great occasions. During the War
Between the States Alexandria was
Just back of the firing line. Women
gathered to scrape lint and roll
bandages, make soup or learn to be
nurses, as they are doing again
today.
When washington, D. c., became
the center of interest, Alexandria
drowsed quietly on the banks of the
Potomac. Some time after World
War I it was discovered" again by
those who wished to get out Of the
rush Of the city and who recognized
the exceptional beauty of the small
houses and secluded gardens. Since
then, one by one the old houses have
been restored. Moss-covered brick
walls with neatly trimmed ivy once
again inclose groups Of people who
are making history. Builders Of fine
houses, aware of the appeal Of au-
thentic Colonial detail, have de-
signed new groups of houses de-
signed to fit a modern way of living.
At Yates Gardens, a collection of
unusual town houses which fit per-
fectly into the old Alexandria scene,
shelter the families of the young Of
ficers of the Army and Navy who
are off making history in World
War II. Not far away the homes are

and of many others who have so
much to do with our way of think
ing and living in 1912.

A father who publicly stands back
of his daughter no matter whether
he thinks she is right or wrong Is
not a hypocrite but thoroughbred.
This is in answer to a mother who
tells me:
"Our daughter is marrying against
our wishes because we do not ap-
prove of her marrying outside OF
our religion. Since she has taken
it upon herself to 60 against our
wishes, do you think she can expect
her father to give her away? He
says he had done everything to
show her the mistake she is making,
and taking part at her marriage
would be acting the part OF hypo-
critic because every one knows how
he feels"
To what have already answered,
I want to add that while he is en-
tirely right to try to dissuade her
from what he thinks will bring her
ultimate unhappiness, I think he

disappear" The answer, believe it
or not, Is a f1ngerwave that's
stitched instead Of pinned! Here's
how it works, according to the local
beauty salon that's so excited about
1t. The curls are styled and rolled
as always, but instead OF being
pinned In place they are button
hole-stitched, feather-stitched, loop
stitched or what have you-with q
large needle threaded with cord.
After the hair has dried, the stitch
ing Is removed and you have a soft,
well-done coiffure that Is even more
natural looking than the old type.
Stylists say that the reason for this
added softness is because the stitch
ing does not hold the curls rigid
as hairpins do and thus each curl
goes into its own natural arc. At
any rate the result Is a well-turned-
out coifure with 9 nice considera-
ton for priorities.
Final mention today Is about q
new makeup that has had the
West Coast in a dither for these
many months. Now making its
Washington debut, this is one of
those sponge-on foundations which
comes in several tones-the dark
est one sufficiently deep to wear as
leg makeup If you like the Idea. At
any rate, the foundation is water
proof, has sun-screening tendencies
and is not oily, greasy or pore
clogging.
Incidentally. maybe you'll be as
pleased as we are to discover that
there's also sponge-on rouge in
this ensemble. We've had trou-
BILE getting cream rouge to go on
over this type of foundation, but
the rouge used in the same way as
the foundation seems to be the
answer. IT'S very moderately priced
and well worth your Investigation.

WhyGrow
Old?
By Josephine Lowman

Many feminine reducers ask me
if they can divide their allowable
number Of calories any way they
wish. It doesn't matter so far as
your loss of weight is concerned.
It's all a question of calories versus
physical activity during each "a
hour period. If you cut down on
the amount of food you eat each
day and increase your activity 1t
adds up to a loss Of pounds unless
you are a pathological case, which
you probably are not.
The way your calories are divided
Is important, however, so far as
your comfort and energy are con-
cerned. It's best to divide them
into three meals, and if you are re-
ducing, sometimes into more. Other
wise, you may feel tired or even
faint.
If you have eccentric habits as to
when you eat you may try sticking
with them. For instance, many
folks eat only two meals a day.
This may work since you are &C
customed to it, but on the other
hand, you may find that when the
amount of food is cut, you will wish
to eat oftener.
Here is another torso simmer to
go along with your calorie counting.
Lie on your back, with your arms
stretched out at your sides, shoul-
der height. Lift the right leg up
to right angles to the body. Swing
it across the body and touch the
floor on the left side Of the body
with the right foot. Swing back
and down to place. Lift the left
leg Qeg straight, swing 1t across the
body, touching the floor with the
left foot on the right side of the
body. Swing it back and down.
The important part of this exercise
is to keep the palms of the hands
tightly against the floor.
If you wish to have my Nine
Day Reducing Diet, which gives
you detailed menus for that
length of time and allows you to
lose from 5 to 10 pounds, send

question remains, is 1t always ad-

Mothers differ in their opinions,
Of course, but 7, for one, think that
"barefootedness" Is permissible de-
pending entirely upon where the
Slnan feet will scamper.

scratchy weeds and stones, the soft,
powdery dust of a country back

our beaches are all safe playing
grounds for little bare feet. Also,
during bare-footed frisking the toes
are given excellent exercise.
However, playing without shoes
and socks on is not always advisable.
Children who have the run of rough
roads and fields, or who are allowed
always to go barefooted, are likely
to suffer numerous foot miseries

come stubborn skin diseases.
1t is all very well to say. Pooh,
running barefoot never hurt any
child. Let them do it as much as
they please" But the fact is that
the customs of our country require
us to wear shoes ON our feet, unless
we choose to be freaks, and feet
toughened enough to walk without
pain barefooted find themselves
most uncomfortable in shoes. We
do not have to harden our children
to the extent of making them
AmaZons and cave men!
1t is a shame, especially for little
girls, to see ugly, coarsened skin ON
the feet and ankles. Adult feet can
be healthy and beautiful if mother
takes care during childhood. The
toes and feet of small people should
be maSsaged with oil during the
summer when the feet are exposed.
Sneakers, barefoot sandals, vari-
GUS types of beach shoes and play
moccaSins worn most of the time
are safer and more comfortable for
the active child than running around
on his own bare toes.
