MUST RESPECT
 NATIONAL AIR

Among the many matters discussed by the council of defense at its meeting last Thursday was the using of the national air for the purpose of entertainment There is ten. dency on the part of some musicians to interject parts of "The Star Span gled Banner" into pieces that are being played, making it subject of commonplace usage.
 To eliminate this fault the follow ing resolution was introduced at the meeting and adopted:
 Resolved, That it is the sense of this Council that our National air, The Star Spangled Banner, should not be played as part of any med ley, nor any bars of the music intro duced into other musical productions, nor for dance music, but that when played it should be separate from other musical numbers and at least one stanza be played in full, and that during the playing the audience should stand at attention, uncovered. and facing the musicians"

WOMEN TOACT
 FOR CARRIERS

The latest move to meet the Wal emergency measure by the postal authorities is the employment of wo- men as rural mail carriers. While there is no demand for the rural carrier in the interior at present. the movement only shows how the women of the Union are filling in the places made vacant by the mon going to the front
 The first examination of the wo- men for the positions was held on April 27 in all sections where vacan- cies existed, and the number passed was surprisingly large Before the examinations there were over two hundred women carriers, who were holdovers from earlier examinations,
 This is the first time since 1911 that women have been eligible for 1uch posts, except in rare eases as substitutes. Preyiou5 to that time the service was opened for short time, hut, while their work was sat sfactory, climatic conditions in the northwest were such as to make it inadvisable 10 use them generally, and the priyli"ce of examination WAS denied them.

GARDENING HAS
 BECOME MATTER OF SCIENCE NOW

A few years ago the vicinity of Fairbanks presented an uncultivated wilderness Today where once ex isted brush and tundra may be seen many gardens, all in high state of cultivation during the summer months.
 In the former years what garden patches did exist were made by the oldtime method of the shovel and rake. As the years passed the mod est garden broadened out into well developed farms and truck patches the farmer raising produce for the public; the truck patches being fol the individual householder. To bring this state of affairs by the oldtirc method of the shovel and rake to it's present standard would be out of the question. Modern methods were introduced, and the production of a larger quantity of agricultural produce resulted to meet the de. mands of a growing community.
 The demand for implements with which to work the soil has created a local market requiring the carry. ing of full line of all manner of soil working tools. The attention of the passerby is attracted by the display of the Northern Commercial company on the sidewalk in front of their place of business. By actual count there are fourteen different kinds of implements used by the farmer and gardener. From the breaking blow, the harrow, the plant CT and the cultivator, the line is complete. The old hand method is obsolete. The up-to-date farmer is now able to procure any and all implements required by him in fol lowing the needs of his pursuit.

THEY WOULDN'T
 BUT THEY DID

American Front in France, April 4 Gloom has replaced hope in a boche prison camp near the section of the front held by the American troops. A hundred captive Germans stood recently against the barbed wire fence and for hours watched the passing of a steady stream of Americans. At first there was great excitement among the prisoners, then there was perturbation. The boches for the first time actually realized that Americas troops were ready to fight. They always had sneered when told that the Americans soon would be fighting with the allies.
 went to the prison camp today and talked to several of the captives.
 "The Germans laughed when told that you would come into the war;" a keeper said. "They asserted the German-Americans would prevent a declaration of war. Then when they learned that you really had de cided to come in, they sneeringly said America never would be able to do anything because the submarines would sink all your troop ships.
 "A few days ago when the Ameri- cans marched by for hours and hours the prisoners were more downcast than at any time since they became prisoners. The talk among them was less concerning the big battle then raging and concerning the war already being won, than that Ger many would lose unless her people stand the hardships until the. sub marines finally have won"
 saw one young German private who spoke perfect English. He said he was a business man, having rela- tions with Marshall Feilds and Stern Bros. in America asked him who would win the war and he replied: I'm a German"
 asked him if the Germans realize the Americans are ready to send millions of men to fight in Europe.
 They must do it quickly, or it will be too late" he answered.
 As we talked a long line of Ameri- can artillery passed twenty rods away.
 That's nothing" he said
 The prisoners are in splendid condi- tion and have plenty to eat. even oi sugar. The mess is prepared by a professional cook, formerly of the Carlton hotel in London. When he cooks for the captain he has to eat his own food first as an assurance it is not poisoned

CATERERS WILL
 USE NO WHEAT

To aid in the conservation of the wheat products supplies, the restaur- ant owners and others engaged in like business in California have agreed to abstain from the use of wheat flour in any form until the harvesting of the next wheat crop.
 This information was disclosed yes terday by recently arrived x. (. official, who has lived in San Fran cisco for the past year By this means those pledging themselves will greatly increase the supply of wheat to be shipped overseas for the use of the great armies there. The vol untary conservation to such a de gree will mean that no pie, cake, bread or other food articles made of wheat will be served on the tables of the establishments of those sign ing the agreement.

Timely Hints for the Housewife

Use savory stews and meat pies Do you know how good they are They may be so varied that you can have a different one every day in the week, and all of them delicious It needs only a small piece of meat to give flavor to hearty dish.
 Don't think that you must eat a lot of meat to be strong. Meat is good to help build up the body. but so are many other foods.
 In these dishes part of your build. ing material comes from the more expensive meat and part from the cheaper peas, beans, hominy and bar. ley. The little meat with the vege. tables and cereals will give your body what it needs.
 Try these savory stews. They can be a whole meal and nutritious one. These recipes serve Ave peo. pie. Here is an English stew that is especially good:
 HOT POT OF MUTTON AND BAR.
 LEY.
 One pound mutton, h cup pearled barley. l tablespoon salt, potatoes, 3 onions, celery tops or other sea- soning herbs.
 Cut the mutton in small pieces, and brown with the onion in fat cut from meat. This will help make the meat tender and improves the flavor. Pour this into a covered saucepan. Add quarts water and the barley. Simmer for 1k hours. Then add the potatoes cut in quar. ters, seasoning herbs, and season ing. and cook one-half hour longer. BEEF STEW
 One pound beef. potatoes cut in quarters, A peck peas or can, 1 cup carrots cut up small, teaspoon salt.
 Cut the meat in small pieces and brown in the fat from the meat. Simmer in quarts of water for 1 hour. Add the peas and carrots and cook for onehalf hour. then add the potatoes. If canned peas are used, add them 10 minutes before serving. Serve when potatoes are done.
 DIFFERENT STEWS
 Here is the way you can change the stews to make them different and to suit the season:
 1. The meat-This may be any kind and more or less than a pound may be used. Use the cheap cuts, the flank, trump, neck or brisket. The long, slow cooking makes them tender. Game and poultry are good.
 2. Potatoes and barley may be used or barley alone, or rice, hominy or macaroni
The weekly Alaska citizen., 1918-05-06

i 3. Vegetables-Carrots, turnips, oni ons. peas, beans. cabbage. tomatoes are good. canned or fresh. Use one or more of these, as you wish. 4. Parsley. celery tops, onion tops, seasoning herbs, or chopped sweet peppers add to the flavor.
 5. Many left-overs may be. used not only meat and vegetables. but rice or hominy.
 HOW TO COOK THE sTEWs | All kinds of stews are cooked in just about the same way. Here are directions which will serve for mak. ing almost any kind:
 Cut the meat in small pieces and brown with the onion in the fat cut from the meat. Add the salt and pepper. seasoning vegetables (onion celery tops. etc.). quarts of water, and the rice, or other cereal, if 1t is to be used. Cook for an hour, then add the vegetables except potatoesl Cook the stew for half an hour, add the potatoes cut in quarters, cook for another half an hour. and serve. The fireless cooker may we'll be used, the meat and vegetables being put in at the same time. Left-overs or canned vegetables need only to be heated through. Add them Is minutes before serving. Dried peas or beans should be soaked over night and cooked for 3 hours before adding to the stew; or. better, cook them over night in a fireless cooker.
 MEAT PIES
 Another good way to use little meat Have you ever used rice. corn meal mush or homniy for a crust? This is less work than a pastry crust and saves wheat. Four cups cooked corn meal, rice or hominy, 1 onion. 2 cups tomato, M teaspoon pepper, 1 tablespoon fat. pound raw meat or left over meat cut up small. # teaspoon salt. Melt the fat, add the sliced onion, and, if raw meat is used, add it and stir until the red color disap- pears. Add the tomato and season ing. If cooked meat is used. add it with the tomato and seasoning, af. ter the onion is Drowned. and heat through. Grease a baking dish, put in layer of the cereal, add the meat and gravy, and cover with the cereal dotted with fat. Bake for half an hour.
 SHEPHERDS PIE
 This is the name of meat pie with a mashed potato crust Drowned in the oven.

MUCH WORK TO BE DONE THIS
 END OF RAILS

The latest reports concerning the work to be done on the railroad in the interior this year are for the better Although no definite plans are obtainable at present, it is eX. pectod that upon the arrival of the new division engineer. S. P Brown, who at present is on his way in, the complete plans concerning the work to be done on this end will be made public
 Yesterday at Nenana the word was sent out that men were needed for every department. This can only be taken to mean that active work is soon to be commenced on that part of the road alreday laid out or pro jected.
 It Is evident that much work will be done on the Fairbanks-Nenana end this year. The Engineering com mission already has a large amount Of supplies at Standard creek which will be used in construction work 4 store has already been established at that place and other preparations have gone forward which only tend to show that construction work is assured for this year.
 The work of the piledriver has been steadily going on between the two points and bids called for on bridge timbers. Many ties have been delivered along the right .of-way and other things done which indicate that busy season may be looked for.
 R. B. Ward. acting division en- gineer at Nenana, is at present in Fairbanks and, while giving in in formation other than the present ac- tivities, states that no plans will be formulated until the arrival of the division engineer.
 While the call for men at Ne, mana will take many there to fill the number required, there will be ample work for many men at this end, and it is good news to those who intended going to other places to secure work this coming summer

LAST ONE OUT
 OF GERMANY

Miss Blano oh Slocum, grand opera soprano and protegee of Mary Gar. den, has returned home after four and a half years in Germany.
 Here I am," she said, "the last American out of Germany. German officials objected to my leaving, and virtually was prisoner for weeks suppose they thought I might tell things. I certainly shall. For the Germany I left is Germany very different from the one described in recent books and magazine articles It has changed since their authors were there. It is hungrier-much hungrier. Besides. it is mutinous.
 "Germans-German soldiers even told me they wanted to see Germany lose the war, they hate the govern. ment so. I saw a number of small riots. People shouted. Down with the war. Down with the govern. ment!'
 Before the war only the poor sided with the Social Democrats; now the rich frequently do. All classes are inwardly rebellious. The government knows. In Berlin there were notices posted up offering 5000 marks reward for evidence leading to conviction of anyone speaking against the government. The procla. nation concluded with:
 Sad to say, these spies are not among foreigners only, but are often found among those wearing the field gray
 Except that the German people are frightened, hunted hounds. there would have been revolution before this.
 They are half starved. They grum ble continually. Germany was never so wretched as now, never so gloomy never so eager for peace. even though peace should mean surrender When America broke off diplomatic relations with Germany. Miss Slocum was under engagement to sing Senta in Der Fliegende Hollander" and Brunhilde in Die Walkure."

 Little did I dream in those days of seeing men stroll into Red Cross headquarters and demand a quota of yarn from which to evolve a sweater during quiet evenings at home. or gazing upon athletic railroad con. ductors capably and unostentatiously knitting between stations. Yet such sights are not rare these war-like days.
