 Waterfront

Four boats of the Juneau halibut fleet reached port yesterday and last night from the fishing banks. The vessels that arrived are the Dagney, Emma, Pilgrim and Thelma. They all have good catches.
 The halibut market did not open very brisk this morning on account of the scarcity of shipping facilities. It was thought likely that none of the fish would be sold today or until definite news of the schedule of the arrival of the Northwestern i1 port, is received.

The harbor boat Peterson, in port since Friday night, with squad of basketball. players from Fort William H. Seward, left again for the Fort early this morning.
 It is rumored on the waterfront that the Peterson is to be sent South soon and that a new vessel will come North to replace her for work out of the Fort.
 The Peterson, formerly the ferry boat Flossie, on the run between Gastineau Channel points for the Juneau Ferry and Navigation Com pany, has seen almost twenty years of active service

WAR APARTMENT. REPRESENTATIVE.
 FOR COMMITTEE.
First Member of Inter-De- partmental Committee Nam
 ed Is Col. C, O. Sherrill,

Col. c. 0. Sherrill, Corps of En- gineers,' U. S. A., has been appointed by the War Department as it's repre- sentative on the proposed Interde- partmental Committee,s according to statement made by Col. James G. Steese, President of the Alaska Road Commission. This Committee was recommended to be formed by the Payne Committee which met in Se- attle during the past summer, the tives of the Interior. Commerce and Post Office Departments, Col Alfred H. Brooks of the Interior Depart ment, Chairman, Assistant Postmast- CT General Otto Praeger and Harry Saint of the Shipping Board, repre- senting the Post Office and Com merce Departments.
 In concurring with the recommen- dations of the Payne Committee and appointing Col. Sherry as its repre- sentative. the War Department went even further and recommended that the proposed Interdepartmental Com mittee be composed of two branches, an Alaskan body headed by the Gov ernor of the Territory and having a representative of each department permanently resident in Alaska, and also a Washington branch to pre- pare necessary departmental action and draft legislation. It suggested that the Alaskan branch of the Con- mttee be the most important section in order to give the committee proper authority and that it may inaugu- rate it's activities in a fitting manner, the War Department has drawn up and submitted to the heads of other Departments an executive order to be promulgated by the President. The entire matter is now before the other Departments and their con currence is expected without undue delay.

ELECTRIC IRON FOUND IN WELL
 EQUIPPED HOME

T prize my electric washing ma chine, but I still find the bills for ironing, or the work of hand ironing half of the washday task" sighed a housewife recently, but now I find that the ironing has been solved for me too. Household ironing machines electrically operated, are every bit as practical and economical as electric washing machines"
 Flat pieces and many articles that are far from flat may be electrically rolled into the perfection of ironing by some of the new methods now on display.
 It is astonishing what a variety of clothes may be fed into this kindly. gentle machine and brought out per fectly and glossily ironed. F'irs-, there are the sheets, the towels, the pillow slips and other flat pieces. Then there are the handkerchiefs, stockings and underwear. Then there are the shirts. shirtWaists, collars, cuffs, petticoats, and all the expensive as well as jess expensive pieces for which the laun- dries so love to charge dearly.
 The well equipped home needs and appreciates an electric ironer as much as the housewife of a few years ago welcomed it's simple predecessor, the electric iron. Both are articles which take the expense out of laundry work, the heat out of ironing day, and the nuisance and risk of loss or conta zion which exists whenever clothes go out of the home to be 1aundered and ironed

MODERN INDUSTRIES ARE GREATLY AIDED
 BY ELECTRIC FANS

The industrial importance of electric fans cannot be over emphasized. The efficiency of each workman, which de- terrnines the total production of the shop or factory, varies with his work ing conditions. Among the latter, tenn perature and ventilation are vastly inn portant factors. The human mechan- ism works most effectively when sus- tained by comparatively cool atmo- sphere which is constantly being re- newed Any increase over 70 degrees Fahrenheit results in a slowing up and in a growing discomfort and weakens the mental as well as the physical energy
 An adequate installation of electric fans will carry factory workers through the hottest and most sultry summer with no appreciable let-down in pro- ductive energy. Throughout the year the continual freshening of the air, re- suIting from fan operation, has sim liar economic value.
 Office workers as we'll as persons engaged in laboratory and research work are especially dependent on con- fortabIe conditions during the summer months. The breeze from electric fans counteracts the enervating influences of sultry weather and holds these work CTS to their highest level whether their duties be creative or merely routine

MONEY AND HEALTH SAVED BY THE USE IF
 MODERN MACHINES

By the simple act of inserting plug in an electric light socket or in con- venient outlet your washing problems are thing of the past
 Why should business man who at his office employs electricity to even assume the mental task of adding a column of figures, expect, or be content to have his wife devote long hours at the worst sort of ordinary manual labor -washing-when electricity will do it for her?
 Any why shouldn't woman, too, de- rive fullest benefit from this greatest of today's developments, electricity?
 How simple it isl Instead of the old method of washing handed down from the days when women were slaves, here is this simple, inexpensive scientific washing process The wonder is that women have not demanded before this liberation from the bondage of wash ing.
 Washington ceases to be the prnci- pal work problem of the home. Elec- tricity makes it merely a detail. Never has modern engineering ability con- ceived an appliance of greater value, of great scope in time saving. money saving, health saving. Never has there been provided a greater influence for home happiness and home economy.

WASHING MACHINE
 IN CLASSIC LAND

The American washing machine has penetrated the ancient Greek island of Mitylene in the Aegean sea. Its ad- vent has electrified the good wives of that locality who for centuries have washed clothes without soap and by a peculiar process of their own. After threshing the clothes on the seaside rocks they placed them in a wicker basket over which was placed cloth sprinkled with ashes. Hot water was then poured over the ashes. producing a lye which seeped through the cover ing cloth and bleached the clothes. It took many women to complete this primitive method of laundering.
 A Nebraska Red Cross woman Ie- gently exhibited the working ot the modern American washing machine at the Red. Cross warehouse before a crowd of several interested women They saw her put several soiled gar ments into a tub with a cake of soap and some water, then clamp down a top and start turning crank. In ten min utes she announced the clothes were clean. Several in the crowd snickered. But when the clothes were taken out white and clean, there was a Babel of Greek amazement. and the women fought to examine the machine and to turn the crank at the se eond demon stration. let American women who enjoy the convenience of an electric washer sometimes say:
 ''Well, will it take the clothes out and hang them on the linei"

RANGE
 OBV|ATES NEED
 IF BAKING TEST

How do you test your oven for bread baking2
 This was the question put to five hOusekeepers. They replied as follows:
 Mrs A.-"By the feeling of the heat on my face"
 Mrs. By holding my hand in while I count 15.''
 Mrs. C.-"By piece of manila paper when it becomes the proper shade of brown"
 Mrs D.-"The oven should be hot enough to brown teaspoonfuI of flour in one minute for rolls and in five minutes for bread"
 There you have four women who have each a different way of testing their ovens And all their methods are tific about them, nothing accurate, nothing certain or dependable.
 If these women also had been asked: How do you know when to take the bread out of the oven2" they undoubt- ediy would have replied that they were in the habit of opening the oven door every now and then to look at the bak- ing What could be a greater detri- ment to good baking than that-
 With an ordinary range or stove 1t is impossible to maintain the proper and even temperature in your oven which is so essential to good results. The heat is subject to fluctuation. It changes" and you have no means of ontrollinE it. What is the result2 You have to depend largely on guesswork. Xo1 are always at the mercy of condi- fionS- You have to be basting, stirring or shifting the food continuously as the heat fluctuates- If you have a lucky day you get good results, but you know how often you are disappointed Cakes fall Roasted meats are underdone or oVerdone and greatly shrunken. Bread raises unevenly and with questionable results in color and texture.
 Heat is what bakes your bread and roasts your meat: and heat must be regulated according to the food to be cooked Bread requires an oven tenn perature of 450 degrees, while roast beef requires 500 degrees, and this tenn perzture has to be maintained evenly for a certain length of time. TemperS- ture and time are scientifically the de- Terminfng factors in cookery. That is how one cooks with the modern electric range The heat is regulated with pre- cision. it is uniform. quicK and certain.

 A quaint but successful method em- paoFed by the pioneer to wash his clothes was to tie them in a bundle on the end of a rope and place them at the bottom of a waterfall or in the middle of a rushing stream The force of falling water forced itself through the fabric and separated the dirt from rhe clothes

SERVICE
 IS STANDARDIZED

In no industry has standardization been carried farther than in the cleo trical industry. Yet there is still room for improvements even there and a concerted movement is on foot to es- tablish, at least as regards lighting and household appliances, one standard of voltage and frequency, and one kind of attachment plug, so that householders moving from one city to another, or from one location to another location in the same city, will no longer be con- fronted with the question, .'Win my appliances work on this current?"
 The electric service generally sup piled today is 50 cycle alternating cur rent at 110 volts and the attachment plug with parallel blades is the one in most common use. As uniformity has already been practically established in these particulars it is nearly certain that in the very near future they will become the universal standard.
