Honolulu, T. H., June 9.--The sec
ond meteorological station in the
United States for the purpose of gath
ering data of the upper air viii be
erected shortly in Hawaii, in accord
ance with plans worked out by the
weather bureau, it was announced here
today. 1t has been proposed by A. NJ.
lIamrick, local representative OF the
weather bureau, and enthusiastically
endorsed by the army authorities OF
the Hawaiian department, that an
electric reel station be built from
which will be flown the great kites
which carry meteorological instru-
ments aloft. The station will, it is an
rounced, be modelled upon one in Oma
ha, Nebraska, and will be the only sta
ton of the kind in the tropics or semi
tropics.
General r. X. Evans, who was in
command of the Hawaiian department
y hen the proposal was first made by
Mr.. Hamrick, took the view that such
station would be Of imla ense advan-
tage to aviators and artillerymen, and
lio strongly recommended to the war
department that it cooperate to the
fullest extent with the weather bureau
m the proposed work. After going
Thrnt,pp ~, nj Mn
Hamrick's letter came back to him a
few days ago with the report that
every effort is to be made by botn
branches OF the government to secure
the establishment Of the proposed
station.
This is interpreted to mean that as
soon as funds are available, work or
he construction of the plant will be
begun.
Mr.. Hamrick recently established >
weather observation station on Mid
way Island, which is now the fafthest
west Of any weather station, and is
receiving daily reports by cable from
that distant observation point. The
Midway station is the first of service
of observation stations which he hopes
to establish throughout the Pacific
with a view to making the Honolulu
weather bureau a forecasting station.
At present, on account Of lack Of data
from which to make computations, no
forecasts are made here. Mr.. Ham
,, rick says that weather predictions viii

HOME ECONOMICS

cleaned and scalded to keep them in
safe condition. Some boxes have the
advantage over pals that they can
be folded when empty and strapped
with the school books. Baskets are
ventilated and for this reason suitable
for carrying moist foods which are
likely to spoil. There is no reason,
| however. why small holes can not
be punched in metal boxes or pals
to let in the air. Baskets can, of
course, be washed or scalded, but
not so easily as metal containers, and
they should be frequently cleansed.
There should, in fact, be no part of
any food container that can not be
cleaned. For this reason the simplest
boxes and baskets are often better
than the more elaborate ones with
compartments in which to keep
dishes, knives, forks and spoons. With
the increase in automobile travel,
well-constructed boxes and baskets
which can be easily cleaned have
come on the market with compart-
ments for keeping food hot or cold
and for holding liquids. These are,
of course, suitable only for children
who ride back and forth, and particu-
larly suitable where several lunches
are put up in one household.
The precautions which must be
taken to keep foods clean and safe
differ with circumstances. In dusty
seasons they should be wrapped par
ticularly we'll. In hot weather the
use of soft, moist foods in which
molds and bacteria are most likely to
grow rapidly should be avoided. AL
tho chopped meat moistened with a
dressing of some kind makes a good
sandwich filling. such foods are less
desirable in hot weather than slices
of meat, peanut butter, or other foods
less liable to spoil.
Paper napkins or the somewhat
heavier paper towels of much the
same size are very useful for packing
lunches, and, like paraffin and parch-
ment paper, may now be obtained at
a low price, particularly if bought in
rather large quantities. If no pro-
vision is made in the school for serv-
ing lunches, an extra napkin, either
of paper or cloth, should be put in
the basket, to be spread over the
school desk when the lunch is eaten.
Napkins can be made out of cotton
crepe at cost Of a very few cents
each. The crepe may be bought by
the yard, and should be cut into
squares and fringed. Such napkins
have the advantage of not needing
to be ironed.
In packing the lunch basket put at
the bottom the things least likely
to crush, and wrap the sandwiches,
etc., into neat parcels, not all in one.
Paper cups; jelly tumblers with
covers, which can now be bought in
several sizes; bottles with screw tops,
such as those in which cand and some
other foods are sold; and small jars
such as those in which some goods
are sold by druggists, can all be used
for packing jellies, jams, and honey,
as we'll as the foods mentioned above.
When clean and in good condition,
empty receptacles of this kind can
be saved for use in the lunch basket.
A few bills of fare for basket
lunches follow, which may help in
deciding what is satisfactory for the
purpose. Many other equally good
could be suggested.

The Basket Lunch
The basket lunch is harder to plan
and also to prepare than the lunch
at home. To begin with, there are
man foods which can not be includ-
ed in it, either because they are not
good cold or because they can not
be conveniently packed or easily car
rin do IN
choose from, and SO extra care is
necessary to prevent sameness. Elk
ira care is needed. too, in the pre-
paration of foods that must be pack.
ed in small compass and kept for
several hours before being eaten and
that must very often be carried over
dusty roads.
On the other hand, the number OF
foods that can be easily carried has
been enlarged of late by the possibil-
ity of using paraffin paper and parch-
ment paper, in which moist foods can
be wrapped so as to- prevent them
from sticking to other foods. Paper
cups, jelly glasses, and so on, are also
a help, for in them sliced raw fruits,
stewed fruits, custards, cottage cheese
and other half-solid foods can be
carried.
The quality Of the bread used in
the basket lunch is especially import
ant because it is commonly served
in the form of sandwiches and is,
therefore, to be considered not only
as food in itself but also as means
of keeping other much-needed foods
in good and appetizing condition, or
of serving them in attractive ways.
Variety in breads, too, is more i'm
portant at this than at other meals
because of the danger of monotony.
Wheat bread whole-wheat bread,
corn, rye, or oatmeal breads; nut,
raisin, and date breads; beaten bis
cult, rolls, crisp baking powder bis
cult, or soda biscuit, and toast, zwie-
back and crackers may be used in
turn to give variety. Rolls followed
out can be made to hold large
amount of sandwich filling, which is
an advantage at times.
Packing the Lunch
Many kinds of lunch boxes, pals
and baskets are now on the market
The chief advantage of most boxes
and pals is that they are made of
metal and can, therefore, be easily

Chapter. Two

Correspondence and suggestions
invited, and should be addressed to
Mrs. Byrd Trego, Sagehurst, Black
foot, Idaho.)
Our chapter this week begins with
the discussion of well balanced food
to be served each meal. This is one
Of the most important problems the
home maker has to- contend with.
We have been In the grocery stores
and witnessed children on their way
to school, stopping to buy candy
which they had charged to some &C.
count, and proceeded to devour with
greedy eagerness that plainly show
ed proper care in regard to break
fast had been neglected.
1t is not always easy for the mother
or house keeper to get up in the
morning, prepare wholesome, sat
isfying, nourishing breakfast for a
growing family, pack suitable lunch
and get them off for school. But it
is wise thing to do. Again, if the
bread winner Of the home goes out to
his duties with the inner man well
satisfied with the breakfast he has
eaten, and with the general atmos-
phere of the home, you may feel as
sured the outer man will prove by
the interest in his work and the zeal
with which he performs it, that your
theory of good food proves true.
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1917-02-02
Balanced Rations

A meal in which all of the import
ant kinds of food are represented
tends to keep the child in good con-
dition and to give him good habits of
eating. The liking for large range
of foods is desira BILE from the stand
point of diet and also Of manners,
for it helps to prevent person from
becoming a disagreeable table COM
panion-one who is 'fussy" about his
food. Meals that are carefully plan
ned help also to give the child some
little idea of what those who know
most about foods have in mind when
they speak of a possible balanced"
or better, a rightly chosen Ia
ton. With children it is far more
important to suggest the value of
such a ration by the character of the
meals given to them than to try to
tell them what it is or to what ex-
tent it has been worked out.

NAMES COUNSEL
 DEFENSEFOR ALASKA

Governor Strong has appointed an Alaska. Territorial Council of Defense composed of prominent citizens from the various towns in the territory. The letter sent by the governor to members, and a list of those appoint ed for the Third judicial division fol lows:
 President Wilson has said, 'It is not an army we must train for war; ,tis nation; and, in view of the na- tional emergency resulting from car rying on the war with Germany and the necessity of assisting and provid- ing for the national security and de- fense along lines to which all the people of Alaska are urged to ex- tend their unqualified support and hearty cooperation, l have deemed it advisable to name the Alaska Terri torial Council of Defense, to be com posed of citizens of incorporated towns and other communities, who, I am assured will assume cheerfully all the duties to which they may be assigned in the present grave crisis which confronts our common coun- try.
 It has been a difficult matter to evolve any plan that will make an or ganization of this kind at once elastic and effective, in view of the vast ex- tent of the Territory, it's scattered and sparse population, inadequate means of transportation and mail facilities. Its efficiency, however, will depend in great part, upon the interest in the work that shall be taken by it's mem- bers, individually and collectively; and the hope is expressed that the Alaska Territorial Council of De- fense will be an important factor in solving problems and in meeting is- sues that will inevitably arise during the continuance of the war; and, in deed, after peace has been effected, the work of readjustment of the changed conditions as a result of the war, should command the serious at tention of the peoples of all nations, and none more especially than our owii.
 This is no time to consider politics in any way. and patriotic men and women are eschewing such in their desire to do their best for their cour' try, and it is only those who are ut minds that confine themselves in these days of peril which confront the nation, to the discussion of mere par tisan or factional politics and uolicies and it is a matter of profund ccngrat' ulation that there are but few who are in the class that puts party above country and thus lend aid and com fort to the enemy.
