Elder Will Sail Sunday
 King Cove for Repairs

The Bureau of Fisheries vessel Elder will sail Sunday for King Cove where Capt Beck will place the vessel on the ways for repairs. The Elder patrols the coast to the westward and but recently returned from trip to the Pribilofs where she took mail and supplies to the seal islands.
 Capt. Beck states that he found no ice in Boring Sea, despite the early season, and that the winter was one of the mildest ever seen on the Pribi- lofs. Up to the time of his departure no seals had been sighted, although seen in vast numbers in the vicinity of Icy strait
 pr. o. c. Bishop, government sur geon on St. Paul island, accompanied by his wife, arrived on the Elder They are en route to Seattle, after spending two years on the island.
 Dr. VanValkenberg and wife, also arrived on the Elder and will leave for New York on Saturdays boat

MARINE WAYS NEEDED HERE

That Seward is badly in need of ma- rine ways able to handle vessels up to 500 tons is shown by the fact that many vessels calling here for repairs are forced to go elsewhere, even as far as Seattle before they can be pull ed out. The bureau of fisheries boat, Elder, Capt. Beck, arrived this week from the far westward, intending to go on the beach for repairs to her hull. After arriving here Capt. Beck found that it was impracticable and is now forced to go back to King Cove and use the Pacific-American Fisheries ways. which have been tend cred him by the company
 Marine ways here would be of great use in handling the numerous gov ernment vessels entering port, as we'll as the large halibut fleet using this port through the summer. The gov ernment has many vessels plying to the westward, and nearly all of these need repairs sometime during the season. Last year the Starr was fore ed to go to Seattle for repairs which could have been made here very cas- fly had ways been constructed several years ago. as planned
 There is no doubt that such ways would be very beneficial to Seward as our merchants, painters and me- chanics would be employed in the re- pairs, as we'll as local carpenters. Se- ward has fine machine shop and a good woodworking plant which could handle work for any vessel up to 300 tons. Many barges and smaller boats could be pulled out and worked on. which now go on the beach.
 Capt. Johansen and Capt Beck have both emphasized the need of such ways. and believe that they can be se- cured with a minimum of effort, and the matter has been taken up by the chamber of commerce.

The boy scout organization is one of the most wonderful for youngsters that has never been organized, as it teaches them to be self reliant, and some of the feats pulled off by a troop in the larger cities are little short of mar. vicious.

AN ASTOUNDING INDUSTRY

The automobile has become so com mon that few persons realize the im- mensity of the industry and the over whelming influence it is having upon the life of our people.
 The automobile has done more to- wards knitting the people of the Unit ed States together than any other in- fluence. It has made this nation of neighbOrs. People know more people ill an intimate way than do any other people in all the world. They know more of their country. They get more out of life than any other nationals do. They are ill the open more and enjoy better health because of this. Everyone nowadays either travels in the family vehicle or has access to and uses public gas-driven vehicle
 Eighty-seven per cent of the automo- piles in the world are owned by people of the United States The world regis tration last year totaled in round fig ures 19,500,000 autos and auto trucks. The registration in this country was over 17.000,000.
 The United States produced 3,2S0,- 900 autos and 370,000 auto-trucks last year. This was ten per cent less than in 1923, but it is 3S per cent more than in 1922. Of the pleasure cars manufactured last year. 39 per cent were of the closed models.
 The wholesale value of the autos and trucks produced in this country last year is given $2,279 ,096,OOO. The tire business in this country last year amounted to S627,697,000. That of other accessories totaled SS72,S38,OOO. The average retail price of a car was $S14. There are 3,1O5,0OO persons en- gagged in the automobile industry-by far the greatest of any other country.
 It required 726,O00 freight cars to transport the machines from factory to dealer The effect of the industry upon other industries is really amaz- ing. Of the total production of plate glass, 53 per cent was used in auto mobiles. This industry consumed 10 per cent of the copper, 20 per cent of the aluminium, 10 per cent of the iron and steel, and 65 per cent of the leather used in upholstery. Seventy per cent of the rubber imported was used by the tire manufacturers. These tire manufacturers also used 191. .OOO.- 900 pounds of cotton for their fabrics.
 There is something stunning, too. in the consumption of gasoline. The to- tai last year was COPS, 9,00O,OOO gallons. Certainly old Mother Earth was di- vested of much of her wealth to ob tain that much oil for the automobile industry.
 Nor are all of the machines manu- factured in this country used at home We exported 380,OO0 motor vehicles valued at $265, 5,O0O,OOO.
 There are but few foreign makes brought in, the total last year being but 745. The United States treasury received $144,O00,OOO in auto taxes levied under the excise clause of the revenue law

Desserts: How the children love
them. And they have their place
too. 1t is pretty generally recog
nized that the American family eats
far to omueh sugar. Granting that
to be fact it behooves mothers to
make desserts only sweet enough to

Desserts offer wonderful oppor-

such as: cup custard, rice milk

Pie Well, once in a while, but
surely not oftener than once week

Conclusion
The school lunch, wholesome and

factor in the child 5 physical devel-

SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO PLAN WELL
BALANCED NUTRITIOUS LUNCHES

! The following article. continual
tion Of that printed in yesterday 5
Press, is written by Miss Orpha A.
/ Miller, county home demonstration
agent, in answer to many requests
for information regarding school
, lunches which have come to her of
flee.
First of all let us agree that the
amount and kind of food must be
governed by the lunch hour sur
roundings as we'll as by the child 5
own requirements of age, physical
condition and the other meals he
/ will eat during the day. Some
knowledge of food values and food
requirements is necessary on the
part of the mother and 10 child
should be sole dictator OF what he
shall take for lunch. 1t is Just
as true Of this meal as Of any other
that the appetite is not q safe guide
at all times.
Assuming that the mother has
Informed herself in regard to these
things we may come down to some
specific observations. Time has pro
ouced no better main course than
the sandwich. 1t is tidy to eat,
filling and tasty. 1t can be any
thing needed by the child. Sand
wiches to go down and form contrast
in texture, which increases the at
tractiveness of any meal.
Most children are thrifty folks. So
milk or water or soup, possibly CO.
Goa, offer their grateful assistance.
There are lunch boxes equipped with
a thermos bottle. These are a good
investment even if the initial cost
is rather high.
Then let us have:
Salad for the first course: salad
for zest; simple desert to top off
with, and a drink to quench thirst
OF add food value.
Sandwich Suggestions
Bread: Use more of the whole

Spreads and Filings: Meats
