..By Josephine LOiUN1nssE
This week I am passing alonga .
few Of the aqua resistance exer-
cises which are to be taken in
water. "A swimming pool is not
necessary in order to do all Of the
exercises. Many can be, taken by
merely standing in water, shoul-
der level.
Mr.. Robert Read says. Should
there be no support available for
lower body work an ordinary
automobile tire may be used. BY
placing the inner tube over the
head and lowering it until it is
under the arms at chest level. it
may be used as a means of sup
port, and almost all Of the leg
exercises and waist twisting exer-
cises can be done"
Today's exercise is for the
shoulders and chest. One arm is
held straight out in front of you
at water level. Keep the elbow
straight as you bring the arm
down and back toward the rear
of the body. The palm is turned
in order to resist the water. Re-
turn arm to starting position and
continue. You can do this exer-
else first, using one arm at time
This is splendid for correction OF
round shoulders because it
strengthens the back muscles and
it will also tone the chest muscles
and those of the arms.
In order to keep your balance
while you do these exercises,
separate the feet or place one in
front of the other. Use either
method, whichever seems easiest
for you.
The following exercise is good
for upper and lower arms and
wrists and hands. Stand as al
ready indicated. Bring the elbows
down toward the body, move up
ward again and continue with
circular motion. Repeat a num-
Der of times and then circle In
the opposite direction.
Watch for some Of the other
aqua exercises this week.

RUM BUN?
fFrom Mrs. J. J. NJ. WdShinoton.)
Regarding your faded hassock
try aluminium paint. Get small
can of the paint mixed. 1t works
easily. any one can paint with it.
Wash hassock first then dry and
paint. Many things can be
silvered such as what-nots trays,
etc.
I silvered an old hassock and
then liked it so we'll I did 3 more
including a small table. bread box
and what-nots. When using the
aluminium paint use sparingly on
the brush. Use turpentine to
wash hands after finished.
Will some one send in a Rum
Bun recipe please.

HOUSE GETS EIGHT BILLS
 FOR STARTER
Moribund Measures from Special Session Given
 New Lease on Life
Bv JAMES HUTCHINSON

The mocratic-controlled Ter ritorial House received eight meas ures in rapid fire order yesterday afternoon after organizing for the regular session.
 Three bills introduced in the House were passed during the spe- cial session which ended Saturday, but all died in the Senate. They were the general property tax, the quadrupled fishtrap tax and in- creased lobbyist fees bills.
 ROADBLOCKS
 To first attempts to rush through measures without sending them to committees, the House applied road blocks. One was that same prop erty tax bill it had passed in the special session.
 The other was memorial to Con- gress and Federal officials for im- mediate abolition of fishtraps. Both bills were held back and referred to committees after several members counselled slower treatment than some measures had received during the special session.
 OLD AGE PENSIONS
 Measures were introduced to make the maximum old age assistance S75 instead of $60 monthly, by Alm- quist, Beltz, Owen and Dale, and to pay $50 bounty for wolves, S3o for coyotes, by Gundersen.
 O. (Red) Carlson, Cordova Demo- crat, introduced the memorial tor abolition of fishtraps. The rules were quickly suspended for second reading, but on an attempt by Will liam Egan, Valdez Democrat, te suspend for a third reading ano a vote on passage, Democrat War ren Taylor of Fairbanks objected to speedup tactics which, he said had brought some criticism fol "steamrollering" during the specia session.
 Egan argued for speed, saying il was needed to support Bartlett's bill ill Congress, but Carlson con- sented to sidetrack his memorial tt the judiciary committee upon urg. ing by several members.
 After similar result in an ef- fort to rush the property tax hil through again, the House voted fol the Ways and Means Committee tt make the measure its first order o business. James Nolan, First DlVis' ion Democrat, led in urging delay tt assure better law. A short tlm' later the committee named Nolar chairman, succeeding Taylor.
