SCHOOL DISCUSSED,
 AT JOINT MEETING

A joint meeting of the Douglas School Board and the Douglas City Council was held last evening in the City Hall, with Dr. James Ry- an, Territorial Commissioner of Education on hand to clarify school laws, and to assist the two bodies in strengthening out their affairs.
 Members of the Council present were Boehl, Wellington, Walters and Cashen and Mayor Jensen. School Board members were Shud- shift, Tom Jensen and Kathleen Andrews.
 The meeting which was well at tended by spectators interested in school and city affairs continued until well after Il o'clock without much being accomplished except for reading school laws.
 The reason for the difficulty be- tween school officials and city of ficials was apparently over super intendent and teacher salaries.
 The city's interest stemmed from the realization that for more than 75 percent of the city's revenue this year would be expended on the school, leaving the city without suf- ficient funds to operate, even though the assessment and mills set this year are at the maximum and an additional sewer tax has been imposed

the girls on the Selmick lot, she'll soon be dubbed The Brain" rather than "The Face.
 That is: "Be happy. A con- tented look is the best face pow der woman can wear"
 Girls who aspire t a movie career probably aren't in very good position to take Miss Colbys advice. One can't afford to be contented in @ cut-throat business like merchandising A film actress necessarily regards every other woman as @ rival.
 And yet the advice is sound d- and it should be taken to heart by feminine Americans.
 CHARACTER IS VISIBLE
 No woman is really attractive to others if she isn't fundamental ly happy -hearted person.
 No matter what kind of clothes woman wears, or how much time and money she spends in beauty parlors, her looks and her manner are spoiled if she is grasping, ol over-ambitious, or so completely lacking in boise and mature un- derstanding that she is unnerved by trifles.
 Happiness is the most beautiful thing a woman can wear on her face. Make no mistake-it glowS as tellingly as does Q shiny nose
 And so, too, does discontent.

The name of R. E. Needham is well known to midwest bridge players. Dick has long been asso- ciated with bridge tournaments in the midwest. At the West Virginia State tournament at Clarksburg recently I met his brother, Edgar Needham, when he played today's hand against me.
 East and west cashed the first two spade tricks, then a heart was led which Needham won in dummy with the ace. He returned to his hand with club and led another heart. West won with the king and led a small diamond, East put on the jack and Needham won with the king.
 Now he was able to cross-ruf the hand out for three-odd, and unlike rubber bridge, a part score in tour nament bridge is just as important as a slam on another board would be,
