MRS. BARNES IS
NON-pARTISAN IN
HER CAMPAIGNING
Candidate Now in Juneau
Accompanied by Her
Sister from Texas

Doris Barnes, former mayor of
Wrangell, led her legislative ticket
when she ran for the House of Rep
resentatives last year, but she is
completely partisan as far as is
concerned her job as President of
the Alaska Federation of Women's
Clubs.
Though she is a candidate for re-
election to the House of Represen-
tatives on the Republican ticket,
Mrs. Barnes is in Juneau at present
as head of the Alaska Federation of
Women's Clubs. She was guest OF
honor at tea given Wednesday by
the Juneau Woman's Club and guest,
too, of the Woman's Club in Skag-
way at tea Sunday afternoon.
AS President of the Alaska Fed
Grafton of Women's Clubs, Mrs.
Barnes was the only delegate from
Alaska at the International Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs convention
in Boston during the first week in
July.
Seven million women from nearly
every country in the world were rep
resented at the Boston ccNclave
which had as its theme, World Co.
operation or Chaos"
One of the principal speakers at
the convention, Mrs. Barnes SAID,
was Warren B. Austin, United States
representative to the United Ma
tons.
So important to Mrs. Barnes
among the points Mr.. Austin mace
in his talk to the assembly OF wo-
men that she made note OF 1T, was
this message, 1T is clear that the
will to dominate is modified by the
will to survive and can be restrained
by united security measures. Our
future depends upon how well the
people understand that our civillza-
ton is at stake. The will to be free
can survive only by the enlightened
cooperation for security-all for one
in defense and all for one IN re-
moval of causes of war"
Another outstanding speaker at
the convention was Ruth Bryan
Rhode who spoke on World Educa-
ton. IAN excellent speaker and very
attractive, Mrs. Rhode impressed
upon us the Importance OF knowledge
and understanding of different
countries and different people
among the peoples of the world,
Mrs. Barnes said.
At an international night, dele
gates from many foreign countries,
from China, France, Sweden, Nor
way and Czechoslovakia, all IN cos
tune spoke to the convention IN
English.
Sister Interesting
Here. during the interview yes
terday in Mrs. Barnes room at the
Baranof hotel, her sister, Mrs. John
Elliott of Austin, Texas, who is traV-
cling with her, joined the conversa-
ton because the universal use OF
English and an equally widespread
use of French or Spanish or other
foreign language is a hobby with
Mrs. Elliott and her husband. Mr..
Elliott, prominent geologist, spent
many years in South American
countries developing oil fields and
both he and Mrs. Elliott have not
only studied Spanish themselves but
have advocated the introduction OF
Spanish and other foreign Ian
guages in the primary grades in
our American schools.
There are SO many reasons for
this the understanding of our
different countries in America from
cultural and business standpoint

And almost every woman can
The secret lies in picking the rec
that suits your skin tone. There
are reds and reds and if you find
your type in the listing below, be-
side 1t you'll find the right one fol-
you:
Cool blond with fair skim
Wear the rich blue-reds such as
the ones that make you think OF
ripe raspberries or American
Beauty roses. Cool brunette with
fair skim: Try the striking pur-
ple-reds, magenta and burgundy
Warm blond with honey skim
Stick to the subtle orange-reds
Anything from apricot to bitter
sweet will accent your unusual COL
oring. Warm brunette Ozark
skim: Experiment with the So
phisticated yellow-reds - tanger-
ine., flame, Chinese.
Silver fox (silver hair): What
type were you before your hair
attained its present distinction
All you have to do is find that type
above. If you think the color
listed beside it is too bright, you
are wrong. But If you'd feel more
comfortable in a less vibrant
shade. select a red with the same
undertone as those listed, but
grayed-down to a whisper.

Stuffed Peppers

If you haven't served stuffed
peppers to your family for some
time, why not try this recipe? I?
Well bet they ask for more.
Cut the tops of large green
peppers, using one pepper per
person for 6 people. Scoop out
the fibers and seeds, and parboil
the peppers for a few minutes
until slightly soft. Drain them.

And here's the second Powers
Girl secret of wearing red we'll:
Your rouge and lipstick must COM
lplement the undertone of what
ever you wear. 1t does not neces-
sarily have to match, but it must
be in the same family. I doubt
lii you would fall for a burgundy
lipstick if you wear a burgundy
coat; you'd have to have some
lighter shade of blue-red stick.
The one exception to this rule
is a lucky one. If you already own
something that you know in your
heart is the wrong shade of red
for your skin. you can make a
glorious compromise by using a
lipstick that is true red. It must
have no blue or yellow undertones.
The pull between your own skin
tones and the underlying tones Of
the dress will be resolved or very
nearly so by the tactful gradation
OF the color on your lips.
