have to buy q new one"
The smaller children swung on
the refrigerator door and Foxy
made no protest. When it finally
broke of she snickered in glee
for she thought that meant a new
refrigerator. Il fooled her on that
one; I bought new hinges)
I've seen dozens of canning jars
stacked for the freshman and
dozens Of new ones delivered to our
house. To me it seemed wasteful
but the only explanation I could get
was wrong kind"
Last week Foxy went to a book
sale and brought back 16 books
There just wasn't shelf space in
the house for them, so she tossed
out 16 old ones.
When the children break a toy
they run to Foxy and howl with
joy as she tells them, That's all
right. Mother will get you a new
one"
To the least remonstrance against
her reckless spending Foxy tosses
her head and proclaims, What
good is money except for what ii
will buy?" And buy she does until
the cash runs out. Then, strangely
enough, she puts as much zest into
doing without as she normally does
on spending. It's strange philos-
ophy and very trying on q husband
who was brought up to save his
pennies for a rainy day.

Mrs. K. j., asks what she can do
when chronic skin condition re-
quires that she keeps her hands
away from water and yet rubber
gloves irritate the skin. I believe
she will find she can use rubber
gloves without irritation or too
much inconvenience if she will buy
the thin latex gloves about two
sizes larger than usual (they are
found at drugstores) and especially
will use under them the thin cos
metic gloves which can be bought in
at least one large department store.
Talcum powder under the cotton
and gloves might be further help.

FIELD OFFICE FOR
 DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
 TO BE ESTABLISHED. ALASKA

JUNAU- A field office of the Department of Commerce will be established in Alaska at an early date" the Alaska Development Board was notified this week by Secretary of Commerce Henry 4. Wallace
 Tt is my feeling" Secretary Wallace wrote, that the opening of a field office of the Department of Commerce would contribute much toward the development of the Territory"
 Carlton Hayward, Director of Field Operations for the Depart ment, is to work with the Develop ment Board in working out nut ually satisfactory arrangements.
 Governor Gruening and Colonel Henry Clark, General Manager of the Alaska Development Board, urged Commerce officials last spring to open an Alaska office which could furnish advice and Department services to small bus mess. Several weeks ago. George SundbOrg, who has been appointed to succeed Colonel Clark, met m Washington with the Commerce Departments Alaska Committee to discuss the matter further.
 Several Commerce Department agencies, including the Civil Aero nautics Admin47tration, Weather Bureau, Bureau of Census and Coast and Geodetic Survey, have been operating in Alaska for many years, but numerous services of the Department have never been extended to the Territory before, owing to lack of a general field office here.
