Delegate E. L. (Bob) Bartlett, on February 19, introduced a measure in the House to place many of the United States Com missioners serving in Alas ka on a salary basis.
 At the present time, compensation for Commis- sioners is derived from fees collected in the perform 7ance of their duties as jus tice of the peace, recorders, probate judges and notar- ies public. This system has proved unsatisfactory for many reasons, the main objection being that the compensatioi received is wholly inadequate for the cost of living, and the scale of payment is out of proportion to the duties DerfOrmed

more equipment,

The human imagination quantity of explosives with the ordnance to propel the shells used in a single day of such action as that on either the Western or the Russian Front. PillboXes, gun emplacements and whole cities are not pulver- ized with air rifles or even 30 rifle shells. Appar- ently the enemy is asking to have it's cities blasted out of existence. If so, their wish must be granted.
 But such astronomoal amounts of equipment cost money in an amount also pretty hard for the human mind to grasp. When the United States accepted the challenge after the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor a whole nation was united ina determination to give all. That was an insin- cere effort if it did not include self-denial, hard work and a willing invest ment of personal wealth in a great cause. Why talk about a Fifth or Sixth War Loan and look ahead to a possible Seventh or even an Eighth? It is one con- tinuous job and so long as there is anything left in the sock or any energy left

Should the fees collected average less than $200 per month, the difference up to $20O vii lbe paid to him out of the United States Treas ury. Those receiving the minimum compensation of $200 per month shall be limited to nine in the first division, seven in the sec ond division, fifteen in the third division, and fifteen in the fourth division.

BEAUTIES HINTS
Two Tips Help
You Sit Pretty

Don't ever show by the way you
sit that you've given up caring how
you look. Too many women succumb
to an easy chairs invitation to
comfort, and present an unlovely
picture Of abandoned posture and
disarrayed clothes.
The thing to watch, even in
chairs that encourage an IRON
spine posture, are legs. When legs
are crossed at the knees, today's
close-fitting skirts have no choice
but to rise. But legs held closely
together at both knees and ankles
not only keep you sitting pretty
but somehow stamp you as being
alert.
You'll never be guilty of awkwardly
unScrambling yourself from a chair
even a Slow-slung one-if you'll
shift your body to the edge of the
chair sea and then lift yourself up
using one extended foot as pivot.

For warmer weather, try serving
cooked and chilled dried beans and
pease in delicious main dish sa-
lads. For dressing. try little gar

sing, and served on lettuce or other
salad greens.
Black-eye peas, chopped raw
cabbage or cress and carrot, mois-
tened with vinegar and oil or vine
gar and meat drippings heated to-
gether.
Beans With Cucumber
Beans or peas, diced cucumber,
or tender raw turnip or radish or
celery cut crosswise.
Lima beans, peanuts, moistened
with salad dressing mixed with to-
mato catsup.
Red kidney beans, chopped green
pepper, raw onion rings, and sliced
tomato
Beans or peas, chopped pickle or
pickle relish, chopped cooked beets
on lettuce or dandelion greens.
Quick-frozen fish fillets are
available throughout the country
and suggest welcome meatless din
ners.

South has made a fairly weak
opening bid. Now if West doubles,
under our present conventions that
would be demanding East to make
a bid. But under Reith's plan, if
West wanted his partner to bid, he
could say Il challenge" in which
case East would respond with bid:
or if he felt his hand was strong
enough to, he could change the
challenge into double.
But in today's hand West would
double because his side is not vul-
nerable and he feels he can defeat
Souths contract. Therefore, al
though East had fairly weak hand,
he knows that he is safe in passing
as his partner has told him he
thinks he can defeat the contract.
You can see that after cashing
three diamonds ard shifting to a
club, the best declarer can do it
take four tricks, thereby going down
three for loss of eight hundred.

Cleveland, April 27.-CUP)-Chil-
dren may not like school any bet
ter now than they did in 1852 but
statistics show they're at least re-
porting for duty.
In 1852 attendance average in
the Cleveland schools was IS per
cent. In February. 1945, bad
month so far as weather and ILL
ness were concerned, attendance
averaged 1884 per cent.
DR.. David Wiens, attendance
chief for the Cleveland school
board, credits the numerous
changes in the school system with
overcoming unnecessary absentee
ism.
I'm Civil War days education
was a question of the survival Of
the flttest," DR.. Wiens pointed out
The pupil who could do the work,
who was healthy, whose parents
encouraged his attendance, fin
lshed school. The child who fell by
the wayside was left there"
In those days, according to
school records, an absence of three
Gays without a satisfactory excuse
suspended the child until the next
term. And if a student gave
ground for suspicion" that he did
not intend to return to school after
a couple of days absence, he name
could be stricken from the roll.
Today every effort is made to
keep pupil in school. Only change
OF residence. legal employment,
physical handicap and death are
acceptable absentee excuses.
'Today's attendance officer =
far different from the club-beftted
policeman of former days-seeks
the cause of the absence and does
all he can do remedy it," according
to DR.. Wiens.
In place of the survival of the
fittest" regime, 1945 schools have
classes for all nentalities. If tests
show pupil is square peg in a
round hole" he is transferred to a
special class and kept in school,

makes it easier to cultivate, spray
and pick the fruit. Pruning and
stalking produces tomatoes of a
higher quality as to uniformity Of
size, color, smoothness and claanli-
ness.
Stakes, six to seven feet tally,
should be set first, two feet apart
each way, and single plant
trained to each stake. Be sure to
drive stakes firmly into the soil.
Late varieties such as Marglobe,
Pan American, and Rutgers are ex-
cellent for stalking. Early tomatoes
like Victor and Bonnie Best, planted
between the stalked varieties, will
yield their crops and be out of the
way by the time the late varieties
are ready t OCCUPY the space.
Plants should be set to the side
from which the wind blows. are
must be taken when planting not
to disturb the roots; the plants
should not be removed while the soil
in the pot is dry. Plants should be
set about four inches from the
stake, firmed we'll into the soil and
watered Immediately Such plants
will take hold and the clusters of
flowers will set fruit.
No fertilizer should be applied un-
til the fruits are the size Of marbles,
and from then on they may be fed
freely. Early APPLICATION will tend to
cause excessive growth of foliage,
blossom drop, and resulted loss of
fruits. Mulching with straw, hay or
similar litter, after the first few
civilizations, will reduce weed growth
conserve moisture, induce a better
root growth.
