SEATTLE POLICE
 DRILL TEAM IN
 FINE EXHIBITION
Organization Pdrddes Streets, Then Appears at
 Ball Park Last Evening

Approximately 2,000 people crowd ed into the Juneau Firemen's Ball Park here last night to witness one of the finest exhibitions of pre- cision drilling and entertainment they could ever hope to see. The crowd was entertained by the 50 visiting members of the Seattle Police Department Drill Team and ouartette who put on a free 45- minute show whic., kept the crowd interested every minute and asking for more.
 The Seattle group is making goodwill tour of Southeast Alaska on board the Northland Transpor- tation Company's Alaska. It has already visited Ketchikan, Wran- gell and Petersburg, where it put on similar shows
 The Seattle Policemen, attired in snappy blue uniforms with wl.ite gloves, belts and other trimmings marched uq Franklin Street and through the business district to the Federal Building and returned through the downtown area yes- terday afternoon shortly after the Alaska docked here.
 Large crowds lined the down. town streets and watched out of upper story windows as the smart looking group marched in precis- ion formations along the route. Several tricky movements were also well executed enroute. The chil- dren were particularly entertained by the antics of four clowns at- tired as old-fashioned cops of the Gay Ninety era
 In the evening, the group put on its entire routine at the Ball Park beginning with entertaining Scotch songs by it's Singing Scotsman, !" Sergeant A. R. Chestnut. He was followed by the Police Quartette: Patrolmen Anil Wiggen, Albert Gates, H. w. Vosper and J. c. Wallace, accompanied by Patrol man Herbert O. Ward, and intro- duced by their manager, Sergeant Vic T. Warford. They first sang old fashioned songs and then dotf- ed their Gay Nineties costumes and emerging as up-to-date Police men, sang modern songs.
 The program was introduced by Captain Herbert D. Bakenhus, manager of the Drill Team.
 The Drill .Team then marched onto the field and went through about 20 minutes of precision drill ing which proved their claims to the many marching championships they have won. Their intricate marching patterns kept the aud- fence constantly applauding in ap- preciation of the difficult maneuv- CTS, as called out by Drillmaster c. w. "Whitey" Schlaitzer, former U. s. Marine Sergeant.
 Several members of the group also brought along their wives and children. The wives were enter tained yesterday afternoon by William R. Hughes, manager of the Baranof Hotel. No other enter tainment was planned at the Teams own request.
 The Drill Team was formed by former Police Sergeant Robert Scheible who, because of illness, was unable to make the Alaska trip. Captain Bakenhus was plac- ed in charge of the group in 1941 The Team is a voluntary group composed of men from all divis- ions and ranks of the Seattle Po- lice Department.
 The men are not paid for their drilling and practices are done on their free time. Most of the fi- nances for their Alaska trip were raised by the Seattle Post-Intelli- gencer which sponsored a U. S. Marine Band concert in Seattle last fall

Womon's World
Rugs Should Not Conflict
With Furnishings of Room
& C,Aa Haley

HERE are many people who Sc
= lect their rugs by hit and miss
method because they do not realize
the true importance Of what rugs
and carpets should do for the room.
It's true that these floor coverings
do not set the mood or feeling to
the room, but they should not con-
flict with it.
You can economic on the floor
covering of room, but do not buy
something in poor taste simply be-
cause you cannot afford something
better. It's far better to 60 without
a rug until you can buy floor COW
ering in keeping with the style of
your furniture.
One of the problems many of us
have to settle in buying a rug is to
decide whether we want a large rug
or wall-to-wall carpeting. If you
buy a rug, it's possible to turn il
around and prevent wearing in spots.
On the other hand, if the room
has irregularities such as bay win
doWs, you should get wall-to-wal
carpeting, as this brings the room
together and makes even bay win
dows seem a definite part of it.
Cleaning is no longer a problem
with wall-to-wal carpeting They
are cleaned either by yourself or
professionally with a great deal of
effectiveness while still on the floor.
If you simply do not have the
courage to buy proper rug or car
pet, it's well to remember that you
rarely can go wrong with a simple,
one-color unpatterned rug. You may
use one color in all the rooms as
this gives unity to the house and
conveys an effect of spaciousness.

KATHLEEN NORRIS
Rocky Road Ahead
Bell Syndicate. WNU Features
By KATHLEEN NORRIS

THIRTY YEARS AGO, when
L the first world war ended,
Barbara Whitman was left wild
owed, with a baby boy three
weeks old. Bruce naturally be-
came all Barbara's world; she
was 80, delicate, walking with a
slight limp even when using her
cane. She did not remarry.
Now Bruce, grown, has passed
his bar examinations with distinc-
tion-and he wants to marry Mollie.
Barbara writes me, on tear-spat-
tered sheet, that she would rather
see him dead She will not meet
Mollie; she will not see Bruce again
if he makes this marriage.
"She has been married twice be-
fore and divorced twice" writes
Barbara of Mollie. II am not an
extremely sophisticated woman, but
l know her type. She's truly in love
with Bruce now; he dances divine
ly and she loves to dance. He has
a good income, augmented by ac-
cumulated service pay, and he
spends money on her.
DOESN'T WANT CHILDREN
''This woman has little girl of
9, neglected and difficult child.
She says openly that she doesn't
want more children. She told her
aunt, whose closest friend is one
of my intimates. that she and a di-
vorced woman friend of hers had
had a bet on which should get
Bruce. She's that sort of a reck-
less, coarse woman.
Her life is amusement, drink,
cigarettes, careless, scandalous talk,
dress extravaganza, rushing about
in anybody's and everybody's cars,
sleeping half through the mornings,
up in some night club or at some
private party well into the next
morning.

MOLLIE HAS POOR RECORD

Unfortunately, Barbara, there's
no such argument. And optimistic
as l am apt to be about all mar
riages, must confess that Mollie
has a discouraging record. Her
story includes a rich old first hus-
band with whom she lived only a
year before claiming a large ali
mony: a wartime husband she di-
vorced when he returned with phys
ical and nerve injuries that should
have demanded her tenderest care.
That she should turn into a devoted
wife, ready to face the inevitable
difficulties of domestic life today,
is more than one dares to hope.
Your only course, Barbara,
and you know it as well as l do,
is to keep quiet, refrain from
criticisms and complaints, and
play a waiting game. Ask Mol
lie 20 home dinner. She'll
come. Then include her in
club lunch with other women
friends. Make Bruce feel that
your loyalty to him includes his
wife. too.
There are cases, and they are not
a few, when these young wildcats
settle down: when happiness and
stability and husbands love work
a miracle in their tempestuOus
hearts. Trust Bruce for some sober
ing influences. and trust time, the
all-healer, for a solution you cannot
see now.

Bright Colored Rugs
Are Not Desirable
Most floor areas are large and
for this reason they cannot stand a
brilliant colored rug. Choose a rug
that has been grayed, no matter
what the color, so that it will be
in keeping with the room colors.
The best way to select the color
for the rug is to have the latter
about the same color as the walls
In this way you can be certain there
will be harmony and unity in the
room.
If you contrast the rug color with
the walls, the choice will be more
difficult and you will have to have
different samples in the room to
be able to tell what is best.
The present range of colors is
satisfactory for most purposes.
There are beige, light gray, dark
gray, off white, rust, wood tones,
grayed blue and grayed green as
well as grayed rose. The lighter col
ors do not show dust as much as
the dark colors, but they will have
to be cleaned more frequently to
keep looking nice.
Il ycu use a grayed rug. it's pos
sible to change the colors in the
room more frequently without
changing the rug.
Bear in mind the exposure of the
room when selecting color for the
rug. A north exposure in a room
means GOODNESS, for instance and
you'll want color that warns the
room.

Bill TO Bring
Library Service to
Rural Areas

WASHINGTON, Jan. Fl. GAN
P)-The house committee on edu-
cation and labor is currently
studying a proposal to provide
federal aid to the states in carry
ing public library services in
areas without such service or
with inadequate library facilities.
The bill, introduced last March
by Rep. Thomas A. Jenkins of
Ohio, would give assistance to
states "in demonstrating public
library service to those people now
without it or with inadequate
service" as we'll as providing a
means by which the values of such
a program may be studied"
Provisions Of the measure are
that the federal government would
assist those states having a plan
for the demonstration and devel-
opment of public library service
by a grant of $4,000 each year
for five years. Should a state sub
nit an expanded plan within four
years after the passage of the bill,
and additional annual sum rang
ing from $4,000 to $4,000
would be given the state. The bill
stipuates, however, that mo por-
ton of money paid to a state un-
der the act can be applied, d.
i. rectly or indirectly, to the pur-
chase or erection Of any building
or buildings, or for the purchase
of any land"
