MUSIC, COMEDY IS
 IN FEATURE NOW
 AT 10TH CENTURY

There's a bright new film at the 20th Century Theatre in Para mounts You Can't Ration Love" which opened last night and it brings enought music and comedy to satisfy the most ardent advocate of escapist movie fan.
 Songs by Johnnie Johnston and Betty Rhodes are delivered to the music of D'Artega and his All-Girl Orchestra, while the comedy capers by Marie Wilson and Johnny Seat Davis hit the highwater mark. Then there's some essentric dancing by elongated Christine Forsytke and five foot-four Roland Dupree which sends the audience into peals of laughter
 The story concerns the attempts by women students at coed uni versity to institute a rationing sys- tenn so there will be enough men to go around Betty is stuck with Johnston, who, because of his schol- arly appearance and apparent dis interest in the art of swing music and such, is termed a dead beat Betty grooms him for a better role in life, however. and through pat tent maneuvering transforms him into the grooming idol of the college femmes.

POLICEMAN EXAM BILL
 I5 PASSED
Anti-FederaI and Alaskan Office Lobby Law
 Is Postponed

Municipal police officers will have to pass written examinations and be residents one year in the town in which they wish to serve before they can get their jobs.
 Such was the verdict of the House of Representatives this morning in passing House Bill No. 8l, authored by Representatives McCutcheon. Johnson, Peterson and Taylor.
 "A lot of inexperienced police of- ficers have abused their powers" one bill proponent declared, this bill will raise the caliber of muni- cipal police protection"
 Also passed was House Bill 75, by Representative Shattuck, mak- ing technical correction to the spe- cial elections law
 Indefinitely postponed was House Bill 92, by Representative Linck, bringing Territorial and Federal offices under lobby licensing laws. The thumbs-down vote was 15 to g.
 T myself would just as soon see this bill die, said Republican Rep iresentative Maurice Johnson. "Someday there will be lot of Republicans in this House and I want them to enjoy the same sup port as the Democrats now have" Battle over politically-scarred House Bill 91 asking for refer endum on blanket primary ballots and direct election of national com- mitteemen, now amended to in- clude referendum on fish traps, went quietly to engrossment on it's way to third reading.
 House Bill 89, by Krause, trap and net licensing tax system simi- lar to an old long-fought measure known as the Hoffman Bill, was ordered back to. committee for proper construction.
 The two cold-ridden members of the House, Steve vukovich and Walter Huntley, were back in their seats today to give the House full strength again.

MANY ATTEND
 SQUARE DANCE
 LAST EVENING

A steady and heavy downpour of rain and slippery streets did not deter the square dance enthusiasts from attending the old-fashioned dancing session last night in the A. B. Hall under auspices of the American Women's Voluntary Serv- ices and the USO.
 From the time the orchestra, E. M. Mcintyre, violinist; Albert Peter son, accordianist, and Frank Pineda played the opening number, "The Girl I Left Behind Me" to Good Night Ladies'" at the finish there was plenty of action. Little time was lost between calls, as the dancers remained on the floor for three or four changes"
 Recent additions to the square dancing contingent and who enjoyed their first participation in that form of dancing were MT. and Mrs. Alfred Zenger, MT. and Mrs. Roy Peratro- vich. George Jorgenson, Mrs. c. c. Carnegie and Edward Cooper.
 The traffic squad Henry God dard. Lester Linehan, Private Bob Phillips, Corporal Francis Blackwell A. J. Goodman and Don Newton were helpful in putting the begin- ners through their paces and lining up the sets"
 The loudspeaker proved highly ef- fective in conveying the voice of the caller, A. B. Cain, to the far corners of the big hall Out of town visit ors were MT. and Mrs. J. Ask of Petersburg. Private Tom Kent popular member of the USO square dancing fraternity, was welcomed back from his furlough to Chicago

JWC INTERESTED IN THREE BILLS
 OF LEGISLATURE

The Juneau Woman's Club at the Tuesday meeting, made recommen- dations on three bills now before the Territorial Legislature, at the re- quest of the Club Legislative Depart merit.
 The wonan's club endorsed the creation of a Library Commission and went on record as being op- posed to discrimination in the in- creasing of salaries for Territorial employees. They recommended that the same percentage of increase be allowed both administrative and clerical employees.
 The club members also voted to protest a bill which would permit fraternal organizations to maintain a bar within 200 feet of church. !. The wornan's club doubled their donation of previous years to the Red Cross, making it $20 this year.

TT HAPPENED T0M0RR0W"E
 CApIT0L'S BILL

Tt Happened Tomorrow is a funny picture which IS fine thing to be able to say about a comedy. It is at the Capitol for the last time tonight.
 The plot of the film, which stars Dick Powell, Linda Darnell. and Jack Oakie, is a Rene Clair natural. It deals with the strange and rib tickling tribulations of young reported, young Larry Stevens tDick PowelD, of the Evening News of 1890, when he is given copy of tomor- rows newspaper today. The source of this desirable arrangement is the fatherly ghost of one Pop Benson, former keeper of the files of the News. ..
 As result of his possession of the newspaper, Stevens is able to predict tomorrow's weather and sun- dry other events which ultimately lead him to the calaboose. For the police, not believing in his unnatural prowess. suspect him of very real and practical knowledge of several crimes.
 Managing to get out of the crim- inal charge against him, young MT. Stevens finds himself first hero, then a rich man as result of his pre-ordained winnings at the races, and finally reads his own obituary in another edition of the phantom paper. The climax to this disturb ing situation (for MT Stevens) is clever and complete surprise

PRODUCES a new look in a sharp cir
cular flare set up at the knees of
an otherwise straight dress. Very
effective, this on a simple long
sleeved black wool dress with gold
studded belt.
Viewing the collection, you over
hear editors speculating on whether
a Trigere suit or a Trigere dress Is
the thing for which to start saving.
We'd say either. Her suits, like her
dresses, are ne plus ultra in ex-
quisite simplicity and look every
penny of their none-too-modeSt
prices. One outstanding example is
a soft-shouldered short jacket suit
Of black velour with separate gilet
Of gold-embroidered white faille.
One signature" of this collection
is what we call the cowl fold often
used on the 'bateau neck Miss Tri-
gere so frequently uses this season.
A mist blue wool dress makes beau-
tiful use of this detail at the neck
line of simple dress whose only
trimming is nutria- edged wool
bow at the belt. Other applause
getters included her claret velvet
full-length loose coat with its large
self bow at the neckline, the three
quarter tunic coats sharply f1ared
around the knees, new cocktail
dresses twinning black wool crepe
with thin shadow lace (this, too, for

In Josef Walkers new collection
one of the high lights is a kimono
jumper in aqua wool open down the
front to show whatever is worn be-
meath, with a string belt tying it
together at the waist. This is FASH
ion that makes good sense to one of
our practical turn of mind because
it can be worn over either blouse
and slackS or a dress. A nice sur
prise dish in this part of the FASH
ion feast is her diagona1ly closed
one-pieced dress utilizing selvage
edges as fabric contrast. Probably
the smartest is a black and white
checked homespun dress swept
smoothly from one side Of the high
neskline to the other side of the
front hem. A fabric first" in this
collection is rayon ribbed-weave
jersey that has all the sheen and
pliancy of jersey, but more body.

Dear Miss Dix: A lot is written
about married women getting
slouchy after marriage and neglect
ing their personal appearance, and
they are always advised to keep
themselves as attractive as possible.
That means, Of course, the spend
ing of enough money to keep well
dressed.
Which do you think man would
prefer-a wife who spends money on
her clothes and the beauty shops,
or one who goes shabby and saves
the money that such things cost?
CLARA II.
Answef-Both. I think the man
would like his wife to look pretty
and attractive and well dressed and
still put the money In the savings
bank, but inasmuch as this cannot
be done, the woman is wise who
steers a medium course and plays
both ends of the game from the
middle. BY which mean that she
is neither extravagant nor neglect
full of her personal appearance, but

Looking at the matter from the
wife's point of view, it is a matter
of business for her to keep her hus-

she is the only woman, and this
she cannot do unless she keeps her.
