FIRST SKiRMISH ON EQUAL RIGHTS
 lN HOUSE TO-DAY

The first skirmish in the fight to repeal the Equal Rights Act of 1945 resulted this morning in a setback for the rereal forces in the House of Representatives.
 Rep Robert Hoopes. author of the bill. requested that the House hear testimony cn the Aet as a Commit tee of the Whoie next Friday. He explained that the Act had placed Q great financial burden cn the Ter 1itcry and said that he thought the new members of the House should be given an opportunity to become familiar with it's workings.
 There was objection to the hold ing of such hearing, and on a roll call vote the motion was denied by l4 to 10.
 One new bill appeared in the House this morning. Rep. Andrew Hope introduced the measure to es- tahlish the Alaska Pioneers Mem orial Fund and authorize erection of a Pioneers Memorial Statue on the grounds of the Pioneers Home at Sitka. The bill does not carry an appropriation as money has been donated for this purpose and is now in the Pioneers Home Trust Fund.
 H. B 40, to amend the statutes to include imbezzlcment, was amended in minor detail in second reading and the emergency clause was strick- en from it. II. B. 4, relating to domestic corporations, was laid on the table at the re-,iest of its author. Rep Maurice Johnson.
 The House Committee on Educa- ten this morning gave it's approval to a $400 000 expenditure for three schools near Anchorage and one at Rake. but asked that the bills be referred to the Ways and Means Committee. The bill to provide for impeachment of certain public of- ficials was given the thumbs down sign by the Judiciary Committee. which. however, gave its approval to bill to require real estate brok- CTS CT agents to procure licenses and pay fees fer engaging in business.
 A Committee of the Whole hear ing on II. B. 1, which would regulate the rates on insurance, was post pcned until Friday afternoon. The House recessed shortly before noon until ? D. m today.

chain about their ankles. Whatever
his good points as husband and
father, the man of the family finds
himself completely unequal to the
rising demand, and once the morale
of both husband and wife begins to
slip it is hard thing to reestab-
lish.
Income Unimportant.
Some women manage it. But per-
haps it takes a special tempera-
ment, or vision, or faith, to do so.
And perhaps this particular gener-
alton of girls is more unfortunate
ly placed than any other ever was,
when it comes to development of
character, of old-fashioned good
ness, of self-control and service.
Nothing teaches them that SELF
denial in the matter of clothes,
amusements, extravagant cars,
beauty treatments, useless and ex-
pensive possessions of all sorts, are
infinitely less valuable, in the years
ahead, than the courage to forego
them.
Yet, there are households still,
and many of them with no great
er advantages than Charlotte's,
that not only provide a safe and
happy background for youth, but
contribute to the happiness of many
more than just the members of the
family.
Households in which there are
books, music, good talk, Joyous
Sharing of domestic duties, ambi-
tious dreams. Homes in which shah
biness is disguised by perfect order,
the beauty of flowers, of simple
hospitality. 1t is from homes like
Charlotte's that half of our nations
great men and women have come;
their story is not one of easy begin
nings, of indulgent parents and
financial responsibility They may
have missed more exciting pleas
ures of youth, but its real pleasures
are denied no one who has the in
estimable benefit of a good father
and mother; and the increased ap-
probation of success and leisure,
later in life, makes these hard
younger years well worth while.
And the catch in that is that Char
lotte and Fred actually could af-
ford to give their children not only
a happy, but busy, eager, hope
full childhood and youth, with Just
what they have in hand, if only
they knew the secret.

Weaving of Fabrics

Most fabrics, including those
made Of rayon yarn, come from the
loom or knitting machine in an un-
finished state. Usually, they must
be dyed or printed, then finished.
Dyeing, printing and finishing are
all highly important operations and
have just as much to do with the
final quality of fabric as has the
yarn or the weaving or knitting
operation. A fabric may be per-
fectly woven of fine quality yarn,
but if it is poorly dyed, or If the
printing or finishing is imperfect,
then that fabric viii not give good

Dressmaking Tips Rejuvenate
Old Dresses into Stylish Ones
by &,Aa Haley

Most home sewers regard re-
modelling as sort Of stepchild
Of sewing, but when they see what
clever things can be done with old
garments, they can't find enough
old clothes to make over. Then, too,
remodeling or restyling old gar
ments can be so simple because in
many cases the whole garment does
not have to be recut and remade
completely. It's often simple mat
ter to turn out brand new dress in
remarkably short time.
As I have often said before, don't
waste your precious time remaking
something out of fabrics that simply
will not withstand another season of
wear. Use only those things which
have good material in them, which
will Withstand dyeing, recruiting or
sewing, as the case may be.
When you do remodel, study the
new styles and make the garment
as much like them as possible. In
this respect, color combinations are
all important. You'll want new
prints and new colors so the gar
ment actually looks new when you
finish it.
Bright, lush colors are much the
fashion this season, so you might
consider using kelly green, red,
bright blue and even some of the
plaids in your remodeling work.
Beige is considered good, as are
some of the new, lighter and richer
shades of brown. Black, too, comes
In for wide share of attention.
Some Garments Need Only
Minor Adjustments
Did you know that such little
things as crisp collars, lingerie
trimmings, new belts, dickies or
buttons are often enough to add
sparkle to the new dress? Try any
