EXPLAINS CERTAIN PHASES
OF THE COMPENSATION ACT
In determining whether a person
employs a sufficient number of indi
viduals to be an employer, under the
Unemployment Compensation Act, of
Alaska, "and also in determining
what class of employees are subject
to the Act. one must bear in mind
that all individuals are counted as
employees who perform services for
a person in the Territory of Alaska
of a class not excepted by the law,
as set out in Section 2. paragraph
(1), sub-sections (6i-(A) (B) (C)
(D) (E) (F) and (G). provided the
relationship of employee and em
ployer exists between the individual
who performs the service and the
person for whom such services are
performed.
For example, a corporation in de
termining whether it employs a suf
ficient number of workers to be an
“employer'” subject to the tax. must
include the officers of the corpora
tion. since the relationship of em
ployer and employee exists between
a corporation and its officers. The
amount, measure method, or desig
nation of the remuneration payable
to any officer, or the fact that he re
ceives no remuneration is immater
ial.
In the case where an employing
unit has seven full time employees,
and hires two extra on a busy day
of any week, the number of employ
ees in its employ on that one day is
nine regardless of whether the extra
help works eight hours or half an
hour. Also the greatest number of
employees in its errrby for some
portion of a day would be nine. Then
if the same condition existed
thr -irt 20 different weeks,
whether or not the weeks are or
. • consecutive, the employing unit'
voul be deemed an “employer" and
subject to the tax.
In determining the actual amount
of wages paid an employee, the em
ployer must consider ail commis
sions. bonuses, ar.d the cash value of
all prizes, etc., which are remunera
thr, for personal services. In tte
w ent that an employee receives a
fixed salary, and is furnished either
room or board, or both, the employer
must add the cash value of these
privileges to the employee’s sajary.
when determining the amount of the
tax.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS
Wash over your windows, scullery
or larder with whitening mixed with
milk, and then dab with a small
sponge. This gives a frosted effect
When dry take a clean piece of cal
ico or flannel, wet it and place over
the forefinger and mark off the
whitening in a lattice pattern like
the old-fashioned windows. It looks
so pretty and quaint and lasts quite
a long time.
While the gas stove must be kept
clean both inside and out, it should
never be blackened, for the reason
that the heat is sufficient to absorb
blacking, consequently it only rubs
off again and the particles must go
omewhere about the room or into
cl ths or clothing.
T.,e racks in the oven should be
removed nee a week and thoroughly
sc- urea with hot water containing
common soda applied with a stiff
brush.
The Iodine Brush—It was always
a puzzle to me to know what to do
w tfc the iodine brush after using it
to keep it clean, until one day I hit
upon the idea of putting it into an
empty iodine bottle and replacing
the cork. This I keep next to the
iodine in use, and the brush is al
ways clean.
Before you wear new silk stock
ings, try this plan. Add a small
tablespoonful of salt to a pint of
tepid water, then squeeze out all
superfluous water and put them into
a bowl containing soapsuds. Squeeze
again and hang them up bo dry by
the toes. This treatment strengthens
the life of silk stockings. The salt
strengthens the fabric and ‘sets’ the
dye.
Every one knows the trials of us
ing two colors of wool which have to
be knitted alternately; wool gets it
self entangled. Just slip the two
ends of the wool through a fairly
large bead. It keeps them together,
I yet untangled.
Packing Parcels—To make parcels
not to fail to reach their destination
through not being tied up properly,
wet the string before tying up the
parcel. As H drys it shrinks tip
very tightly, and renders the parrel
secure.
Fruit Pie Tip—Juice is apt to boil
over when baking fruit pies. To pre-'
vent this, sprinkle a little flour over
the fruit before putting pastry iid
on. This also thickens the syrup.
Scratches on the furniture can of
ten be removed by polishing with a
woolen rag and linseed oil. Ink
stains can be removed by applying
spirits of salts until spots disappear
and then washing immediately with
clean water.
