even if you haven't nerve enough
to wear them anywhere except in
the house. Ask an occasional office

Then budget your time as well

4 NEW APPROACH

Many young people in big cities
can't seem to fit in socially. They
are fairly successful in business
or professional life. but they go
on. year after year. unable to at
tract anyone ,cho could possibly
be considered in marriage. So
they remain single. Eventually
they drift into their thirties. Then
suddenly one day there comes a
panicky realization that the tu-
ture will not take care of them;
that ,oithout vigorous trying, they
are facing a drab middle age. and
sad, lonely old age.
Such a situation is presented
in a letter Miss Norris reprints
in today's paper. n girl just
turned 30 has a good job, a nice
New York apartment, good
clothes, in fact, practically every
thing. She says she is good look
ing, ueH educated, and agree
able. Somehow, nevertheless, all
the men she meets soon turn to
someone else. 1t just seems i'm
possible for her to be interest
ing, no matter ,Uhat she tries to
talk about.
Miss Norris advises this un-
happy girl that she must take q
ne,u approach; try to get inter
ested in something herself. She
could go to evening school, for
instance. There are al,Uays in.
telligent people taking night
classes, and among her classmates
there are sure to be some yho
,oould be glad to number her
among their friends. Another
possibility ,Uould be to n1ove to a
small place in the country, just
outside Of toron. Here she could
develop ne,O interests - garden
ing, poultry raising, perhaps.
Soon she Uould haue a host Of
ne,U acquaintance. She ,could
neuer be at loss for something
to talk about, either.

REFINISHING A COAT

To give repaired coat finished
look, steam press wool fabric. Pro-
tect it with one of the treated press
cloths which can be bought with di-
rections for use, or by covering the
wool with dry wool cloth, then a
dampened cotton cloth. To steam
press, set the warm iron down, then
lift it with just enough force to drive
steam through the wool-that is, use
patting or pressing instead of the
usual back-and-forth ironing motion.
Be sure that the lining is smooth un-
der the coat to avoid wrinkling.

Oh, and am not bad-looking.

on all about me. Girls are cry
ing their hearts out over soldiers

Earlier in the letter she says
that her father was an invalid for
many years, unable to stand noise
or the presence of strangers, and
that when he died, in her 21st year,
her mother sank into an invalidism
almost as complete.
So Georgia had no youth, no joy
GUS girlhood of home entertaining
and home security. No wonder she
is still stiffnecked and awkward
with men, fumbling about for
subjects in which to interest them,
and knowing or half-suspecting
in her uncomfortable heart - that
the simplest thing in which to inter-
est them is herself.
And you have to be interested in
yourself if anyone else is to find
you interesting, Georgia. So stop
trying to attract outsiders, and at
tract yourself-to yourself.
There are many ways to do this.
They all sound fiat and uncon-
vincing, but you only have to try
a few of them honestly to be re-
born into enthusiasm, first for your
own life, and then for the lives
all about you.

KOppIN MAKES STATEMENT ON
 CAB AWARDING5
AIaska's Development Is Handicapped - Alaska
 AirIines Will RefiIe

Marshall c. Hoppin, President of Alaska Airlines, Inc, said here to- day that the development of the Alaskan territory will undoubtedly be handicapped by the decision of the Civil Aeronautics Board deny ing an Alaskan airline's entry into either Seattle or Chicago. Six thousand airline route miles in Alaska is still cut off form direct trade with the United States by this decision" MT Hoppin said, pointing out that industry in the Unitel States needs a direct con- rection to all of the communities in Alaska.
 The decision by the Board, an- nounced Thursday, Aug. l, is con- trary tc the recommendations of the Civil Asronautics Board examiners, public counsel, the Alaska Develop ment Board, the Anchorage Cham Ter of Commerce, and Alaska busl- ness interests, ell of whom had recommended the Alaska Airlines extension.
 Alask Airlines had appealed to the Civic Aeronautics Board for permission to extend it's routes rom the Territory to both Seattle and Chicago, which MT. Hoppin describes as the two most important trade centers for Alaska as both give direct access to the Middle West and to Eastern Seabcrd by air.
 Furthermore, MT. Hoppin said the CAB in it's decision has failed to provide a solution to one of Alaska S most pressing problems-air freight. While Northwest's operation iS prl- marily passenger. Alaskan airlines have the equipment, experience, and knowledge of the Territory's needs 10 operate competently in the field Of air freight and air express, he said. Thus, an opportunity to help the Territory to expand by building complete air freight system is Icing overlooked.
 MT. Hoppin said that Alaska Air lines would immediately re-file for both of the routes. Business en- tsrprises, federal agencies, Ameri- can tourists and sportsmen, all need direct air connections with the cities of Alaska" he said, adding that the growth of Alaska depends on air transportation, for surface travel is limited due to the diff culties of construction. The furth- CT development of air transportation is the best medium for the progress of the Territory"
