What is mother or a teacher
to do to help child who is quite
irresponsible He does not take
care of his belongings, leaves his
sweater, cap or mittens wherever
he. happens to be. Drops his bike
or his ball. anything he uses right
where he stands at the time and
seems to forget about them until
the next time he wants to use
them. Then he stands helplessly
asking some one to find what he
wants.
Given a task, thoroughly ex-
planned, even started for him, he
must be constantly prodded to
finish it. He moves slowly most
of the time so he is late for what
ever duty is facing him: lessons,
meals, chores.
When he Is reprimanded, push
ed to accomplishment, scolded or
punished. he looks so disconsolate
that his parents and teachers feel
like unkind masters standing over
helpless child. which is pre-
cisely what he is at the time.
This sort of child is retarded,
undeveloped mentally if not ply
sically. Ordinary class instruction
is not for him. He needs the close
hand to hand, heart to heart sort
of teaching with the teacher close
beside him ready to lend a hand
when his falters, ready to stimu-
late his mind when it is fatigued

WhyGrow
Old?
By josephine Lowmon

The way we walk is much more
important to beauty than most
women realize. II you walk beau-
tifully you increase the impression
Of youthfulness, grace and charm
which you make on others. Walk
ing can be silent music, q SYM
metry Of coordination, ease and
poise.
The rules for walking have been
well publicized, yet we see many
women hobbling or jerking along.
without a thought to the impress
sion Of age or awkwardness which
can result from a walk.
II you wish to practice walking
with an idea OF improving yours,
draw q straight chalkline on the
floor. Walk along this. placing
one foot in front of the other, with
the toes pointing straight forward.
This exercise has been used for
q long time but 1t is still good.
I was interested when Diana,
one of New York's exercise in
structors, and I were talking about
walking. She said, Most women
walk along two imaginary lines
instead of one, with one foot on
each line" Then, much to my
amusement, she demonstrated,
and the result was quite spraddle
legged. She threw up her hands
and said, by the time they are
40 or more their legs look that way
all Of the time!"
Remember a few simple rules
about graceful walking. Imagine
that you are walking straight
line. one foot in front of the
other. 10 not walk along two
lines. Reach forward rather than
to the side. Keep your knees re-
laxed and brush the knees to-
gether lightly as you walk. These
rules will make your walk more
attractive.

The white touch" is very preva-
lent in nearly all new designer
collections. Pierre Balmain in
Paris claims that the reason he
introduced so many white collars

he made the acquaintance of a
perma starch that does away with
tedious starching chores that so
many women object to. Using
this synthetic starch allows you
to use all the collars and cuffs and
other neckwear embellishments
you like, without all the worry
attached to their upkeep.

the decision of the committee that Alaska has re- sources sufficient to pay for statehood
 That was well-meant, doubt. But it is vague What are those resources? Our fisheries? Liquor? We have no gold mining to speak of will have until the price of gold is raised miners allowed to sell gold on free market Our timber? We have been through the pulp mill fight and hopeful as we have about the establishment of this industry in Alaska at this moment wouldn't count on taxes from pulp mills to help pay for statehood.
 For his fortnight statement against the proposi- ton of Indian Reservations thank the Governor.
 We wish he would be just fortnight about the resources in Alaska that going to pay for state hood
 We are glad that the Statehood Bill has been amended though there still provisions on which Aaskans those few who have seen the Bill are not in agreement We wish that the Statehood Committee before voting on the Bill would send fiscal committee north to help figure out the cost of statehood-and suggest means of raising the neces sary funds from Alaska's small population and limited resources to meet that cost

ALASKA, B. (. TO
 JOIN IN PUBLICITY
 TOURIST BOOKLETS

Alaska and British Columbia will join forces in promoting a joint tourist program this year, it is an- nounced by George Sundborg, con- sultant for the Alaska Development Board.
 The board, which met here late last week for the first time this biennium, decided to match funds with the Department of Trade and Industry of the province to issue two booklets for distribution among agencies who would in turn dis tribute them to tourists interested in the two picturesque lands. < Each board will spend $1,O00 for printing the pamphlets, Sundborg said. One will be for yachtmen, with pictures and descriptions of the in side passage from Victoria to Skag- way, and the other will be on the Alaska Highway, for motorists.
 The board is also considering an dDpllCdJlOll tO Joiii oAAS oS~~>S Northwest Associa ton, a group of Oregon, Washington and British Columbia interests who advertise the Northwest in national publica- tions to draw tourists. The associ- ztion also issues booklet for dis tribution among travel agents.
 A commercial survey of Haines will be done this summer, Sundborg said, with emphasis of benefit gained by the community if the Haines Cutoff highway would be kept open all winter. Ralph Browne, assistant manager of the board, will do the survey.
 The boards office in Juneau has handled II ,932 inquiries during the year ending April l, 1850, Sundborg said. These ranged from assistance on business inquiries, tourist queries and employment matters, to home stealing and miscellaneous letters.
 Some 44,0O0 Seeing Alaska" fold CTS have been distributed so far this year. The board met for one day only, in the office of Gov. Ernest Gruening.

ON THE AMENDED STATEHOOD BILL, THERE IS A VAGUENESS ABOUT COST

Though there few questions regarding Alaska on which Governing Gruening and The Empire see eye to eye, apparently we agree on the matter of Indian Reservations in Alaska planned by the De- partment of the Interior.
 At recent meeting of the Chamber of Commerce when he was discussing the Statehood Bill now before a Senate Committee the Governor said that the re- vised Bill would leave the matter of Indian Reserva- tions to the proposed state.
 "As you know" the Governor said, T feel that the establishment of Indian Reservations is the height Of folly We shouldn't have any reservations now, or in the future"
 There was no hedging the subject by MT. Gruening

The Shrinking Dollar
Cincinnati Enquirer

The baseball season under way provides a topical illustration of what effect the Roosevelt and Truman dollar has had upon our cost of living
 Ted Williams, the Red Sox sugger, is drawing record pay check this year-S125000 Note has been taken of the fact that it eclipses the monumental salary of $80000 which Babe Ruth drew from the Yankees in 1880 and 1881 However, even though Williams today draws $45000 more year than Ruth did 20 years ago, his "take-hom pay is appreciably less-nore than $6,00O less matter of fact The steepy increased Federal taxes take the difference.
 That comparison makes allowance for the shrinkage of the buying power of the dollar since the onset of the New Deal and the Fair Deal. The Foundation for Economic Education estimates that when account is taken of this factor, Ted Williams, although he osensibly gets than half again as much as Ruth actually draws little more than half or 57 per cen-of what the noted Yankee did That's his pay in terms of what money will buy today, which is the important thing.
 The illustration need not be confined to baseoaA players of course though they provide dramatic comparisons Even while this country has grown i'm mensey wealthier through greater industrallzatlon and development of natural resources. much of the prosperity that President Truman takes credit for today is apparent than actual.

Two connecticut Friends

Secretary of State AcheSon and able Senator BTien McMahon, both from the State of Connecticut, have a peculiar relationship. Neither is too fond of the other, yet McMa- hon has been one of Acheson's staunchest defenders
 Acheson, who has a peculiar fac ulty for saying the wrong thing to senators at the wrong time, was standing in the receiving line of a diplomatic reception, when the Connecticut senator and his beau- tiful wife Rosemary approached. As he shook hands, the Secretary of State remarked to his wife:
 Alice, here is an ogre whom I would like to knock over the head, accompanied by the most beauti- full woman in Washington.
 Acheson smiled when he said it. Nevertheless, the remark was not particularly appreciated.
 The personal friction between Acheson and McMahon probably dates back to the days when Ache sons father, the Episcopalian bish- op of Connecticut, refused to per- form the marriage ceremony for McMahon's close friend and law associate, Homer Cummings, first attorney general under Roosevelt. Cummings had been divorced, and Bishop Acheson refused to sanction his second marriage.
 More recently, observers have de- tected note of resentment around the State Department at the man. ner in which McMahon has taken the initiative away from Acheson by expounding some Al ideas on breaking through the iron curtain. Despite personalities, however, Mo Mahon has continued to be one of the best friends of the State De- partment on Capitol Hill.
 Motel -McMahon is torn between two advisers-NeW York Times cor respondent Arthur Krock, who ar ranged for his historic Truman in terview while dining with McMa- hon; and columnlst Marquis Childs. When the senator from Connecticut goes liberal, Childs is not averse to claiming credit for it.
