Of Minnesota was created by an
Act Of Congress. This ended long
period Of confusion in which a
person living in Minnesota was
first a resident in one territory.

Mendoza, for example, was vari-
ously a resident Of the Michigan
Territory, the Wisconsin Territory,
the Iowa Territory, then the Min
nesota Territory.

"Mr. Powers often stopped by

GI insurance operations are
going electronic to provide fast

holders at a savings to taxpay-
erS Sumner G.. Whittier, Admin
istrator of Veterans Affairs, an
nounced recently.
Mr.. Whittier said VA has or
dered an electronic data pro-
cesSing system for it's big Phil
adelphia district office where IS
percent of all CT insurance pol
icies are Serviced.
The equipment will be install
ed in about. 18 months and an
other 6 to IL months will be re-
quired for the conversion OF
records.
Mr.. Whittier, who recon-
mended the electronic system
while he was VAS chief insur-
ance director during 1857, said
the equipment will insure an al
most uncanny degree of accura-
cy at greater speed and less cost
after it is functioning.
He added the project will en-
able tn insurance department
to hire less new employees as
replacements for those who nor
mally leave the department. each
year. This process of attrition,
he said, may prevent a major
lay off by the time the equip
ment is ready for use.
Mr.. Whittier said no hard and
fast estimate Of savings can be
made at this time, but all stud
les indicate it will be substantial.
The actual amount will have to
await time and experience, he
said.
Installation of electronic
equipment will culminate the
mechanization and moderniza-
tion of CT insurance operations
which already have helped cut
insurance administrative costs
from approximately $6O,OOO,OO0
in fiscal year 1852 to less than
$25, 100000 in fiscal year 1857
with virtually the same work
load, Mr.. Whittier said.

Those one hundred and nine

ed as law makers are caught in
a tread mill of political confu-
sion, connivance, and callouS-
ness. The welfare of the state

by trivial ard preposterous con-

because of bloodlesS feud with
the chairman of another COM

Between fifty and sixty per

they were sent to perform.
Housewives, ranohers, plumb

doctors, teachers, realtors, and
accountants are cast together,
equipped with law making au-

Capitol Building. They are as
signed to several of the forty
standing committees and the

No thread of logical planning

The newest collection OF
custom carpet manufacturer
Edward Fields was unveiled
here Friday with Mr.. Fields
on hand personally to show
the designs.
Called the Louis Dor"
collection, 1t relnterprets in
a modern fashion the opu-
lent floral designs, rich Mono
chromatic colors and the
thin. needlepoint delicacy Of
fabrics that graced the
apartments Of the nth CEN
tury French aristocracy.
Designed by Marion v.
Dorm. the new group marks
a radical change from the
concept that luxury and
thickness in carpeting are
synonymous.
New Flat Look
Supported by an eminent
group of interior designers,
Mr.. Fields contends that true
luxury and elegance may be
brilliantly achieved by means
of a fiat" weave, combining
the delicacy of an Aubusson
or a needlepoint with the
strength and durability of a
Savonnerie.
Practical advantages of the
newest fiat look" carpeting
are many. They are easier to
walk on and because Of the
tighter weave are longer
lasting than thicker rugs.
Also. they are lighter and
easier to handle.
Approximately is separate
motifs are included in the
collection with all the designs
geared to the distinct trend
toward more elegance in the
home.

of curved forms. floral pat

Amazing Creamy POmade
Tones Down Grayness
Hair Looks Young Again

Gray Hair makes you look
older than you really are.
But, now you can look years
younger by simply using
Herbold Pomade as your
hair dressing. This amazing
creamy pomade tones down
grayness and makes your
hair look young again; like
it did before it turned old
and gray.
Gray, streaked. drab,
mousey hair is re-colored so
gradually, and blended so
perfectly with the natural
color of your hair that no
one can tell you are using
anything but a fine hair
dressing.
It's real easy to do at
home. Rub a little Herbold
Pomade into your hair, las
you do any hair dressing),
comb it - that's all! Do this
every day for a week -
thereafter, once or twice a
week. No long complicated
directions, no patch tests,
no mixing, no timing, no
mess or bother. No confu-
sion about shades. Just one
Herbold Pomade, adds the
right color for your hair,
Herbold Pomade is not a
coal tar dye, tint or rinse.
That's why you never have
a dyed, artificial look; or a
drastic sudden change in
your appearance; or gray
ness next to the scalp show
ing. when you use this one
and only Herbold Pomade.
A wonderful hair condi-
toner too. Its special Lano-
lin and fine hair oils are
exactly what gray, dry life
less hair needs. to correct
