BEEEAEE KNOTTY COURT ISSUE DECIDED IN 0DD MANNER Case Might Apply to Is- sues Before Highest Tribunal in U. S. * | By PRESTON GROVER | tucky WASHINGTON, Ang. 12—Right at the time Congress was so em- broiled over the court issue a sit- uation developed in the Kentucky| Court of Appeals which for sheer | novelty far outdistanced the pro- posal to put “new blood” on the| . S. Supreme Court. Yei it made| few national headlines. Kentucky became only mildly excited. Governor A. B, (Happy) Chandler | regently sponsored a state income tax law which was designed, among | other things, to tax state office| holders. It was promptly upheld by- state district eourts. In the course of time the test| case on the tax was carried to the Circuit Court of Appeals, the high- est court if Kentueky. It was a| ticklish situation fer the court, since the members themselves are salar-| led state officials, subject ta such & tax. | COURT SITS BACK | Now there is precedent for courts to act on questions of public policy vitally affecting the members. State judges have been called upon to decide the validity of acts dfle(‘&-‘ ing the method of their election toj office. Judges have upheld or rejected| various sales taxes, which, of course, apply to them with the same force as to others. In turn, courts have; upheld the validity of income tax laws which tax the general pubuc\ while exempting judges and other| Nevertheles the Kentucky court | considered it unwise this time to| pass on an act affecting its own members’ salaries.

Juneau; P, Popper, Fair Haven, | The movement, she stated, while only & little more than four years old, has already made remarkable progress, there being now more than eighty thousand jumior club women in the clubs belonging to the General Federation. Many of the States have separate Junior State Federations, and outstanding work is being done by the young women who have become interested in this type of club work. She emphasized the fact that the Junior Club is not a part of the regular woman's club, but it an entity in itself, staffed by its own officers, and carrying out its own work as a separate organization. Senior club women do not attend the junior meetings except upon invitation, ‘she said, and the senior club acts only to help organize the younger group, and to assist them with whatever work they decide to do, should they desire such as- sistance. The work aims to inter- est those club-minded younger women who prefer to work among women of their own age and ex- perience in club work, rather than in the older established clubs. It presents a special appeal to young mothers, and its Mothercraft De- partment is one of the unusual features of the organization, A great deal of interest was manifested by the young matrons present yesterday, many of whom stated that others with whom they had talked were also enthusiastic about the organization of a junior club, and it is expected that an- other meeting will be held soon, in order that the nucleus of an or- ganization may be ready to meet Mrs. Sadie Orr Dunbar, First Vice- President of the General Federa- tion of Women's Clubs upon ' her return to Juneau next week, and to hear her diseuss further the ideals that the junior clubs throughout the country are seeking to perpetuate. Mrs. David Wood has been named by the Juneau Woman’s Club as director for the junior group, when it is organized. The tea yesterday was sponsored by the Executive Board of the Ju- neau Woman’s Club. Refreshments were served at the close of the afternoon with Mrs, R. R. Her- mann and Mrs. David Wood pre- siding at the tea table. GRAVESIDE SERVICES HELD YESTERDAY FOR MRS. ALICE LAUGHLIN At a quiet service by the grave- side of Matt Laughlin, the ashes of Mrs. Alice Laughlin were buried yesterday on her husband’s grave in the Elks plot of Evergreen Ceme- tery.

ALEXANDER GEORGE AP Feature Service Writer Christmas is just around the cor- ner to the far-sighted housewife. ning she is planning a special shelf of jams and jellies to help solve her holiday gift problem. A few special “spreads” such as spiced gooseberry jam, crab apple butter, cherry preserves, pineapple marmalade, peach and pineapple conserve, ginger pear preserves, fig- nut butter, blueberry jam and spicy apple butter. to which raisins have been added will be sure to delight many of her friends in December. Culinary Tricks Gift-planning offers many portunities for culinary stunts. Try adding pineapple or apricots to mint jelly—to serve with hot meats next winter. The colors are very attractive when a glass of such a mixture is placed in a Christmas basket filled with plum, grape and currant jellies and jams. Make a few glasses of old-fash- ioned apple jelly—and put a ger- anium leaf in the bottom of each before the hot jelly is poured. The result will please many an elderly friend. Store grape juice in catsup and relish bottles done up in Christ- mas style. (Tomato, prune, and pineapplejuices may be in the same way.) Prepare relis and preserves from watermelons, cantaloupes, honeydews and citrons—to be served with meats, fowl and fish next win- ter. Add a generous supply of spiced pears, apples, peaches, cherries and currants. Variety of Containers op- containers and other receptacles that might be used in packaging such rainties. Odd-shaped glass cups, pottery bowls and empty candy jars of all descriptions make exceptionally at-| tractive containers. Try to achieve rainbow effects by filling glasses with jellies of dif-| ferent flavorings. Apple jelly, for instance, may be topped with mint| jelly. Grape jelly may be covered with crab apple. Fill the glass half| full of one kind of jelly. When it| is chilled and firm add the other kind. Store the containers in a cool, dark, dry place. carefully—with a plain label. Then when the holiday season arrives replace the plain label with| Christmas seals and tie each jar! in fancy wrappings. Here is a new recipe: Peach and Plum Jam 3% cups (1% 1lbs.) prepared fruit 4% cups (2 lbs.) granulated sugar 1 box powdered fruit pectin To prepare fruit, peel about 1% pounds fully ripe peaches.

Measure sugar into a dry dish and set it aside until needed. Measure prepared fruit into a 5- to 6-quart kettle, filling up last cup or frac- tion of cup with water if necessary. Place over hottest fire. Add powd- ered fruit pectin. Mix well and continue stirring until mixture comes to a hard boil. Pour in sugar at once, stirring constantly.
