 IN INTERIOR R
Snow Condition Worst in Years Says Ed Jones,
 Local Fur Buyer

Snow conditions in the inter'cr are worse this winter than in a number of years past. according to Ed Jones. fur buyer for Charles Goldstein, who returned to his Ju- neau headquarters on the steamer Alaska after being inside since December last.
 Because of the heavy sroWs which prohibited trappe9s keeping their trap lines open through the winter the fur catch in the in terior is not as large this year as usual but the skins are in su. perior condition.
 There was four feet of new on the trails in the interior when MT Joifes left last waok he said and travelling by dog team has been difficult through the w.n er. All mail teams and "nuahs.s have been late cn gcheduie.
 In tho Broad Pass country aa9 between Anchor1ga end Seward the SHOW conditions cn Tho Alas ka Railroad are prohibltiye to travel and several locomotives and the snow rotary were used in clearing the track for the train on which MT Jones was pas senger. south from Nenana to , Anchorage.
 !
 There is no outside activity in i the interior so far this spring ex- i cepting in the Willow Creek dis trict where the Marion Twins Mining Company is attempting to break a trail through the snow from the railroad to the mine. l The Alaska Road Commission crew at Mckinley Park attempted to break trail into Savage River two weeks ago but were forced to abandon the effort at that time on account of the heavy snow. 1 Mir. Jones has been abgeat from Juneau since December 1 last. He has made his headquarters chief ly al Nenana, also spending some time in the Cantwell and Talkeot- ma districts.

tain. The cold was intense. Ice bergs were everywhere. It's 9 wonder the wind didn't smash us. It was the mainmast that went first. Spars and canvas were mixed up in jiffy. My mat , was killed-struck by crashing timber. The cook was imprison ed in his galley by the falling tangled mass. The deck was awash for hours. Then the mix. zenmast gave way.
 We were at the mercy of the elements four hours. Sails were cracking about like great whips Foresail and topsail were blown to ribbons.
 When the main hatch was stove in, Charlie Larsen, able seaman wrapped himself in strips oi storm torn sails and plugged him self into the hole like the boy who saved Holland by plugging the dyke. He prevented the seas from flooding the ship.
 The spanker topmast was blown away, and the wireless aerial went into the sea. Life boat as ter lifeboat was torn from it- fastening. Then the storm pass ed as quickly as it had come and the Sterling drifted for days.
 Emergency sails were rigge' up and eventually she made g. Thomas, in the West Indies. From there the Sterling was lowed tt London by tug from Holland.
 The youngest of the crew was the radio operator, M. B. Ander son, of Adelaide, 19, who was making his first sea voyage. Wher the storm was at it's height hs stuck to his post sending out SOS signals. but none was ever an swered.

 Bring in the dessert after the butler has cleared the table. and later wipe the dishes as I wash them," explained Mother.
 Thus were dining room manners re-established in one family where the children were very impress sionable-as most children are And it being simmer, the division of work was beneficial to all.
 So, if you find that your chil- dren have to be corrected in com pany, try the plan of practicing dining room or company manners every day until they become a natural habit.

''Dining-Room Manners'' By MARION BROWNFIELD -s

Now we're eating fin the dining room, we must put on our dining room manners." confided one lit. tle girl to her sister.
 It had been a warm summer day, and the mother, who usually found serving a meal in the kitch- en breakfast nook more eoiiveni- ent than in the dining room, had changed the routine for the sake of cooler, more refreshing sur roundings. Her little girls words now arrested her attention. aa
 What do you mean, Eunice, by dining room manners'?' she ask ed. e Nn. ..s
 Why, our best manners, like companq ones." explained Eunice. " Cause when we eat in here. We usually have company, or anyway, people who come. see us. That's why you put on better dishes, in here, isn't it, Mother?" w a
 Well, yes" admitted her mo ther, remembering that there had been hurried occasions in the kitchen when she had served milk from the bottle instead of the pitcher. Out we should always have nice table manners se
 Father doesn't put his elbows on the table in here. either, chirped Dorothy. the youngest.
 They're observant, all right" exclaimed Father. Wed better stop eating in the kitchen if we've caught kitchen manners,
 We only ate there to save work" reminded Mother. But now it's summer vacation. the children can help, so we can eat in here all the time"

LONDON. March 24-Fiction writers of the widest imagination never conceived a finer tale of a rough sea voyage than that of the American barkentine E. k. Sterling of Seattle, nine months out from Australia
 She is one of the famous winG- tanners of the world, known for her grace and beauty.
 But it was like a giant carrier pigeon with aserippled wing, seek. ing a haven in a storm, that the Sterling crept into the port of London the other day and deliy- cred safely her cargo of wheat just as her owners said sne would.
 Of the six great masts which under full sail made the Sterling one of the most picturesque yes sels afloat, three had been snap ped off near the deck like so many match sticks.
 Rodcrick Macken2.e, chief off cer, was Killed when the storms were at their worst, and tAe ship was battered and racked as she limned in.e the mouth of the Thames with rot sail in sight.

COE:D COURSES
 NOT HOME AID

CHICAGO, March 24-College courses prepare women for pro fessional pursuits, but not for home making, declared President Walter Dill Scott of Northwestern University
 ''If they have studied chemis- try he told delegates to the American Association of Univer- sity Women, they have not learned the chemistry of the home. They lack knowledge of the elementary principles of the care and feeding of children. They assume responsibility for fam fly with no knowledge of emergen- cy nursing.
 This lack of preparation and knowledge makes women restless and unhappy in domestic work Many girls, also. maintain the at titude, after marriage, that do mestic work of any kind is be- meath them. Their belief that they were intended for something higher than housework has been the cause of many marriages go- ing on the rocks.
 Domestic service has become so discredited that women who can find any other means of a livelihood will not enter it as an occupation. The greatest need of the housewife and mother today is the recognition of her services to society. The idea that the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world has passed into ob. liviol with .hs cradle"
