Fireworks on Independence day are
denied the children and grown folks
of Alaska for the simple reason that
the July nights are almost as light as
the days, and it does not pay to at
tempt pyrotechnic displays if there is
no darkness to show them off by con-
trast. Consequently it has become the
custom in many Alaskan cities. includ-
ing Fairbanks. to hold Fourth of July
celebration on March 4, when the
nights are still very long. Then there
is abundant opportunity for displaying
fireworks of every variety.

Aluminium is in many ways Won

scale is peeled off and keeps close be-

If it were not for this superficial

The Rubber Situation,

We as a people are almost absolutely
dependent on Great Britain for our
supply of crude rubber. as the great
plantations are largely controlled by
British capital. There are several pos
sibilities for ma hing us independent of
any other country for orr crude rubber
supply. one is a plant called guayule,
which is even now being successfully
raised in this country and which has
been successfully raised in Mexico.
There are several other rubber bearing
plants also which might be raised in
this country. But the largest field
seems to be the Philippine Islands,
where plantation rubber can be pro-
duced cheaply and we'll. Capital has
held off, owing to the uncertain future
of these islands, but local conditions
there are ideal for IL large rubber in
dustry.-Andrew II. King in Metallur

The ideal Kitchen.

The kitchen is the real workshop OF
the family. Most of the work there
has TO do with preparing food for the
family, cleaning it up and putting 1t
away. The old fashioned kitchens
never took into account economy Of
steps and time, but today this is al
ways done. There is logical order
for the arrangement of the equipment,
Things that belong to each process
should be together, within the reach
Of the worker. The iceDoX, cold pan
try, kitchen cabinet. stove and serving
table are used together and should be
in close continuous line. This is the
food preparation side of the equip
ment. For the cleaning up Of the same
economy should be practiced. The sink
should be near the china closet or IN
a buffers pantry. the track should be
straight for clearing up. Always have
plenty of table room near the sink. A
drain board on each side Is the best
plan, or at least set of hanging
shelves, hinged shelf and extra ia

The president and his ministers
conferred today. Foreign Minister
Muller declared:
"Brazlls action will depend upon
her own investigation OF the sink
ing OF the Parana. regardless Of
Ehat course other governments may
adopt"
II was apparent today that des-
pite the public demonstrations in
favor OF war against Germany, the
government Is reluctant TO sanction
such \ move. Minister Muller was
quoted in one Rio newspaper today
as asserting that Brazil would
break relations with Germany only
IL necessary" As against this.
practically every Brazilian news
paper is demanding war.
II was generally admitted that
Brazil has three courses open to
ner:
First 20 break relations
Second. TO eonhscate all German
vessels in Brazilian ports In retslia-
tion for an unwarned sinking OF the
Parana
Third, 10 declare war.
Universal comment on part OF the
?rcgs and the public today held that
the FIRST two steps were simply fore
runners OF war and that an outright
declaration was preferable to either.
Dcclaration OF war by the United
States had a trem endous effect here
in Brazil There has been a revival
