star Ann Jettreys IL. 4 her
0iCn hairdresser.

That is why / must plan wisely
the little time that is left out
OF a long work day.
; Ann has set routine for her
beauty chores. Originally she
bought great big electric drier
(the kind they use in hairdress-
ing establishments because she
never could get her hair arrang-
ed in beauty salons the way she
liked it.. Now she's decided Y
has been a good investment and
she has FALLEN in love" with
the idea of doing her own hair
Sometimes she does it, every
night.
While she is under the hair
drier she does her manicure and
applies cold cream to her face
covering her eyebrows, gives
herself a facial and, if she needs
it, a pedicure. sEs
The time spent under the drl-
er at home is never wasted
Ann finds she can do her mend
ing, write letters and do other
little home chores in comfort.

Swiss Watching
German Students

HAMBURG, - (AP).- Because
Il German university students
have failed to return from Of
ficially sponsored visits to swift
erland, a specially strict check
is in future to be made on stu
dents going abroad. the SWISS
consulate here said.
In some cases the absent
students had sent their British
Military Government exit per-
mits back asking for an extern
sion of time but military gov
eminent officials said such ex-
tensions could not be granted.
There is also some uncertainty
about the movements of another
20 students who visited private
persons in Switzerland.
The extra precautions now
being taken by both British and
Swiss authorities recently de
layed a party of 38 Hamburg
students going to help Switzer-
land.

County Judge
Can Impose
Peace Bond

TALLAHASSEE, Oct. ga
county judge has ample author
ity to impose a bond on d per-
son to keep the peace. according
to Attorney General j.. Tom
Watson, in an opinion requested
by Governor Caldwell.
A judge, like all other judicial
officers, is a CONSERVATION of the
peace, the attorney general said.
AS such, the county Judge may
require "sureties of the peace
when the same has been threat
ened or violated" Thus, if a
husband or wife or neighbor or
anyone else threatens to disturb
the peace, or already has done So
once and may do it again, a
county judge has authority to
put a person under bond to
keep the peace.

Newsy Notes
 From Skagway

| SKAGWAY, Alaska, March 22-
 Thirty-eight members and guests
 gathered at the Skagway Grill
 Wednesday evening for the regular
 meeting of the Chamber of Com merce. Dinner preceded the meeting over which President Pol ley presided. L. McGuane acted as secretary to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mrs. ! Justine Price. McGuane will be acting secretary and treasurer until election of officers.

 The pamphlet for the Chamber to use as advertising has been drawn up and is ready for the printer The Empire Printing Company of Juneau submitted the lowest bid and copy will be sent over immediately. Five thousand will be printed. A Juneau artist is also drawing a distinctive let ter head for new stationery. An appropriation of $500 has been approved by Territorial High Way Engineer Leonard Smith and the funds will be used to complete the Dyea Trail. The work will be handled in the same manner as last year, Malcolm Moe and Fred die Marlow acting as the commit tee to handle the hiring of men, supervise the work and disburse the funds. The Trail is becoming an asset instead of a liability as it hears completion. It is report ed that Delbert Hanks, Territorial Boy Scout Leader, has plans in the making fer trip over here next August with the Sea Scouts in their boat with the idea of hiking over the Trail and Chilkoot Pass to Lakes Linderman and Ben nctt. One cf the members of the party will be tke grandson of the man who made the trip during the Gold Rush days The local organ ization was asked to give any sup port it could to this trip.
 Plans for an airplanc float at the boat harhor were also discuss cd.
 F. E. Calkins volunteered to serve as a committee Of one to answer the Palmer Chamber of Commerce in regard to it's pro- posed action in correcting existing evils in the Homestead laws Of Alaska.
 That old bug-a-bear, the Jones Act, was with US again, and get ting an extension of the waiver with the expiration date of the War Emergency Act getting near CT, looks bad for Skagway. Resi- dents here depend almost entirely upon the boats of the CPR com pany for their inter-Alaskan trav-
