The Greeks Of long ago had 81
myth about . monster called the
Hydra. The story-tellers said that
this monster started out with seven
heads, but when one head was cut
on, two others took its place. At
length the monster was slain by
Hercules. us
When certain small animal was
named In later times, II was called
the hydra. In memory of the old
myth. Often found In ponds, this
animal has . strange poWer-if it
it cut into pieces. each piece usually
grows into . complete ailimall d
As I said yesterday, the hydra is
without any head but nerve flbers
spread through its body. Some
times, intests, q hydra has been cut
into two pieces and before long two
new hydras have developed, In other
tests, three or four pieces have be-
come three or four new animals.
The hydra Is smaller than your
little niger. but 1t IS one Of the most
interesting animals to be found in
water. 1t Is fastened to some OBJ
ject most Of its life, but 1t can break
away and move to another resting
place. Us
Sometimes q hydra moves by
turning somersaults. After resting
upright on the bottom Of Q pond, It
starts to bend over. Its tentacles
reach downward, and the lower end
|of its body rises. For q moment,
II stands on its head-Or might
stand on its head II 1t had o head.
Actually 1t rests on It's tentacles.
Then the turn is completed, and
the little animal rises to an upright
position.
Hydras have been placed In tanks
and watched. II q tank has one
lend In sunshine, and the other in
lshade. a hydra is likely to make its
way to the sunny end. It makes a
strange sight when II turns over
and over again to get to the posi-
ton it desires.
A hydra Is lazy, and usually stays
where 1t in anchored. It then looks
very much like q plant. It's thin
body is like stalk. From time to
time, ON the side Of the stalk q
bud may appear. Within . day OF
two, the bud grows into a branch,
land tentacles appear at the end Of
the branch. Then the branch breaks
lon. and there Is o new hydra.
Some hydras produce eggs. These
may hatch In q week, but cold
weather makes the time much
LONGER. Some eggs go through an
entire winter before Matching in the
spring.

Reds Encourage TutIins

VIENNA - (P) - Communist
Hungary looks upon children who
run with tales to teacher as the
best type of pupil.
This came to light in a report
of a teachers conference held in
Budapest recently in the presence
of Hungary's Communist boss,
Premier Matyas Rakosi. The pro-
gress made in encouraging tale
bearing was a. main theme of the
conference. The slogan: zone
child must control another" was
adopted.
The Communist teachers ap-
plauded enthusiastically when one
of their number addressed the con-
ference and said: ''WhO would
have thought, who would have
dreamed, that the pupils them
selves today control the truancy OF
their comrades. The best and mod
ell students elect control commits
sions who watch the lazy students
and the truants, who reprimand
them and report them to the teach
ers, if their behavior does not i'm
prove.
How much nicer this is than in
the past, when the pupils protect.
ed themselves behind the backs OF
the teachers"

Curly Tops For
One And All
By BETTY CLARKE

A1N OA4 H N0lALAAA
AP NeWsfeatures Beauty Editor
Gentlemen still prefer blondes
judging by the numbers Of women
who are bleaching or cOlOring their
hair to lighter shade.
New hair color treatments are so
convincing that lightened top-knots
look more like gifts from Mother
Nature than artificial tiEts. A fur
ther help to bleached blondes is a
new Every gentle" home permanent
wave lotion which is designed to
put soft ringlets into sun-bleached
or cOlor-treated tresses,
Before this lotion is used, how
ever, the top-knOt needs regular
brushings and scalp massage for
one or two weeks. This helps stim-
ulate the flow Of natural oils and
distributes them evenly over
Darched or dryed hair strands.
If hair has reached a really bad
stage Of dryness due to sun-bleach,
two or three cream rinse treat
ments must be given to bring it
back to normal condition.
After hair is healthy again, pre-
permanent test curls should be
taken. Hair is shampooed and
when it has dried to the barely
damp stage, waving lotion is appli-
ed to one crown and one front curl
in the part of the hair most affect
ed by the sun. The rest of the hair
is tied out Of the way while this is
being accomplished. If test curls
look frizzy, discOlored or brittle
the home permanent should not be
continued. At least 10 days or two
weeks more reconditioning treat
ments will be needed. If curls are
soft and natural looking, the rest
of the head can be waved.
With this new kit, you can look
at one curl after so minutes and
another every Is minutes after that
until you see the amount Of curl
you want. Then you are ready to
neutralize by a new process which
is said to save 20 minutes over the
old method if directions are follow
ed to the letter.

CITIZENSHIP PROOF NEEDED TO LEAVE
 ALASKA AFTER DEC. "A

Beginning the night before Christmas, immigration officers will meet every ship arriving in Seattle from Alaska and those who can not prove they are Am erican citizens and desirable ones at that will be refused permission o leave the ship.
 The procedure will be similar to the one followed at the Cam adian border. Everyone coming in from Alaska must be able to satisfy the examiner that he is an American citizen" John F. Boyd, director of the Immigrations Ser vice in Seattle, said this week.
 The same requirements will be necessary from those who make the trip by air.
 The regulations are a result of the new federal law which sets up the same requirements for travellers leaving Alaska as now exist for those coming from a

ENDS 1852 SEASON FARMERS' MARKET

Marketmasrer T. A. Mover re- ported this week that the Farm ers' Market is now closed for the season.
 The market opened this year on July 5 and closed on October 5.
 Although the market was open for longer period this year, it grossed only $3,20O in sales-$100 less than last year.
 However, two of last years biggest sellers did very little busi- ness at the market this year. The comparison of totals thus fails to reflect that the other sellers in creased their sales. Few organiza- tions took advantage of the free booth offered to them this year.
 The Farmers Market Associa- ton hopes to locate a more ad- vantageous location on the high way for the market site next year.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Correspondence to this Office and reports in the Alaska press indicate that residents of Alaska are disturbed by the provision of the new Immigration and Nation ality Act relating to travel be- tween the territories and the continental United States.
 The concern which has been ex- pressed results from the section of the act, section PIP (O CD, which imposes restrictions upon aliens residing in the organized territories who travel to the con- tinental United States. Contrary o what appears to be the general understanding in Alaska, the ap- plication of the section is not limited to Alaska alone. It pro- vides that aliens who leave Alas ka, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the Vir- gin Islands, and Guam, and who seek to enter the continental Un- ted States or any other place under the jurisdiction of the United States, shall be subject to the sections of the act which bar certain classes of aliens from admission to the United States.
 The President on June 25, 1852, vetoed the immigration bill, but it was repassed by the Congress over his veto. As a consequence of his dissatisfaction with the new act, which becomes effective on December "A of this year, the President has recently appointed a commission to review the Fed eral immigration and naturaliza- ton laws and to present recom- mendations to him by January 1, 1853. This Office intends to call section PIP (d) CD, in it's applica- tion to all the preparations, to the attention of the commission and will suggest it's modification or repeal. The Commission informs me that it will be pleased to have the views of any Alaska residents on this or other immigration mat ters. Correspondence should be directed to the Presidents Com mission on Immigration and Ma turalization, Executive Office of the President, Washington 25, DC.

 UnhUrt As Landslide Destroys Juneau Home

The following story from Jun. eau's "Daily Alaska Empire, October 2, will be of interest tc many local readers.
 The three members of the Sher- man Crosby family had a close brush with tragedy early this morning but escaped without seri- ous injury when the first of three dirt slides to hit the city during last nights storm demol- ished their home at 261 Gastineau 1 Ave.
 MT. and Mrs. Crosby and their 10 year old son Douglas were in bed when the slide hit their house. Mrs. Crosby was awake and heard the slide coming, but was too "petrified" to do any thing to arouse her sleeping hus- band and son.
 T heard the rumbling for just a few seconds before the crash, but I knew it was too late to do anything about it, Mrs. Crosby said.
 When the slide hit the rear of the house, Crosby woke up. He said the walls all seemed to move falling to pieces around us"
 The elder Crosby's bedroom an almost of the rest of the house was swept down the hill about 50 feet, but the back bedroom in which Douglas was sleeping was pinned down by debris and did not move far.
 When the noise and confusion stopped the house was divided into three pieces. The front of the house was nearly down to the street. The roof, which had slid or been knocked off the house was about 25 feet farther down. While Douglas bedroom perched on the side of the hill.
 As soon as the bewildered par ents struggled from the debris they called for their son. "I'm in my bedroom, Daddy, Douglas an- sWered.
 Scrambling up the wind-swept hill through the dark and rain the pajama-clad father found the boy, pinned to his bed by book case and large log.
 'The bookcase had boxed him in' said Mrs. Crosby, protecting him from injury, all except his legs which were slightly bruised by the edge of the falling book case"
