TWO NEW CARS
 IN TOWN TODAY
Juneau Motors Receives Willys-Knight Six and
 Rec Speed Wagon

A Willys-Knight Special Six. and a six-cylinder, 11a-2 ton Rec Speed Wagon chassis arrived here for the Juneau Motor Company on the steamer Yukon.
 These cars are the first of their types to be purchased by local people and both typify the latest models of the passenger car and work truck automobiles.
 Maroon is the predominant color of the Willys-Knight six, while the external beauty of tho ear is brought out by the full crown lenders. low slung body, special Willys-knight hood and steel-rimmed roof.
 The interior is done in mo- hair, and comfort is insured by deeply cushioned seats. arm rests and foot rest in the tonneau. and by an adjustable steering wheel. The indirect lighting system is used while the special light con trol of the car is directly under the steering wheel within finger reach while the hand is still on the wheel.
 The Rec truck is a large speed wagon of the 1928 model of trucks, but the purchaser, Olaf Bodding. who will use the car in his trans fer business. purchased the chas- sis with the enclosed cab only. and will have a special body put on.
 Dr. George F. Freeburger is the owner of the passenger car. One of the features of this auto are the Belflex Shackles or shock ab- sorbers. which are made from q noiseless. flexible fabric. and guard against chassis rattles and squeaks, deaden road vibration, improve riding qualities, and elim- mate all need for spring and shackle fabrication.

 Improvement Districts
 Last nights meeting also unan- imously endorsed the creation of improvement districts and passed resolution urging the City Coun- ell to adopt a policy of so dis tricting the city for street and other improvements, assessing costs pro-rata against properties benefited by the improvement projects with the city paying one- third of the total.
 Former Mayor J. J. Connors brought the subject up for discus sion, outlining the plan of pro- eedure and declaring that it was the only method of improvement that was fair to the taxpayers. Chairman Tripp said such a plan had been discussed by the present Council and all members favored it. but it was their understanding that the City was without legal authority 10 put it into effect.

hand to her head and it really did
feel little bit hot.

"Oh, no you haven't, dear; you

Mrs. Walker led Mrs. Todd firmly to-

you to come again later. but the doctor

Nutrition Nuggets.

Okra is a vegetable that is better
known in the South than in the Moth.
It grows in the form of pods one to
three inches in length which are green
in color and rather fuzzy on the out
side. It has a pleasant, rather gummy
consistency and very bland flavor. In
fact, so far as flavor goes, 1t Is oeSt
when combined with some other vege-
table such as tomatoes or when added
to a mixture of vegetables In q soup.
It may, however, be stewed, seasoned
with lemon and butter or minced on
ions and it goes into the composition
of many of the delicious gumbo soups SO
famous in creole cookery. In compo-
sition okra has less mineral salts than
most other green vegetables. but 1t con-
tains some bodybuilding material and
some energy in the form of starch.
Do you know wild rice? This is some
times also known as water rice and is
a seed of the water grass. The grains
are rather long pointed at one end
and are sort of a brownish green in
color. The flavor is delicious and the
product a wholesome one. 1t may be
served occasionally instead of potatoes
with game, roast chicken or meat
9ravies. It can also be used in the
composition of many other attractive
dishes.
Homemade cream puffs offer oppor-
tunity for quite bit of variety. They
NAV be filled with ice cream or any
of the fruit Sherbets instead of the
regular custard filling, or with crushed
fresh fruit that has been simply
sugared or mixed with small quantity
of whipped cream. Again, they may
be filled with any of the popular cream
cheese salad mixtures, especially if they
are stiffened with a little gelatin.
Chicken, lobster, shrimp or crab meat

ings for cream puffs. Cream puffs are

TO the woman who loves color
there is a real joy to be derived
from dyeing fabrics. It's
4 pleasure Just to work over the
boiler or pan of some chosen
color and raise the EbricS up and
down to see them take OF first lighter
and then a darker shade-and to feel
that from colorless, faded, or unin-
teresting materials you have been able
to make something rich or lovely at
least in color if not in actual texture
There is always the satisfactory feeling
when you do dyeing yourself that per-
haps you are getting tone just
little different from any to be found
in fabrics you could buy. blending diff
ferent dyes you may get shades that
for practical purposes at least are all
your own, thus being able to give dis
tinction to the old or inexpensive ma
terials you have before you.
Cheap Fabrics Lovely.
A strip of unbleached muslin dyed
to a lovely soft old blue that delights
your eye makes as attractive a cover
for a lounge cushion as the most ex-
pensive fabric of a color that has no
special appeal for you
Interior decorators and dressmakers
often have materials specially dyed
nowadays to secure some special nuance
of color desired by customer, or have
lace and other trimmings dyed to match
the fabric with which they are to be
used. One prominent decorator some
times makes use of fine figured linen
damask for living room and dining
room window hangings, and this is
dyed to meet the precise requirements
of the color scheme Of the room.
Really there is plenty of excuse and
precedent for dyeing nowadays. And
since dyes are SO inexpensive and so
easy to use you can even excuse the
woman who dyes her dust cloths vari-
Gus bright hues Just SO that the work
of using them win seem pleasure in
stead of drudgery
You can make beautiful dyed scarfs
OF the tie and dye sort. These are
charming things to have yourself. or to
keep to give away as Christmas
presents.
II yau are interested in making one
send stamped, self addressed envelope
and I will send you the directions. The
work is not too difficult for an amateur
And If you do it carefully you can get
beautiful results.

If by this time your family has devel-

omelets, of course, are always with us.
Remember that there are great va

breakfast dish. Tomato omelet is good
on account Of the tartness Of the to-

bacon is cut in tiny dice and cooked

Others will no doubt come to your
mind as you plan and work out your
own individual menu schemes.
Since lamb seems to be one OF the
most popular Summer meats. we have
used it as the meat for the Sunday din
ner. If your family is large I would
suggest purchasing whole hind quarter
and have the chops cut off to use at
another meal. When buying whole
hind quarter in this way the chops
cost no more per pound than the leg,
and on an average sized hind quarter
you will be able to have about six
chops In roasting lamb allow 90 min
utes for each pound and have the oven
very hot-that is. about $50 degrees
for the first half hour. After that re-
duce the heat to 375 or moderate and
finish cooking Most meals will cook
better in a covered roasting pan, as
there is less danger of the meat drying
out too much.
Cold lamb is used for dinner on Mon
day night, though if you have purchased
the whole hind quarter the chops might
be substituted for the cold meat. Jellied
mint relish is especially good with cold
meat, or it might be served as we'll with
the chops.

New Vegetable Entrees

mon, chicken or tongue mousse, the
simpler jellied vegetable molds or plain
cold, faxed fish with we'll made dress
ing--all these are appetizing and sure to
be liked
When entrees are served for the
luncheon or supper mainStay, more gen.
erous portions are, of course, used.
When they are part of more elaborate
meal, or are used for buffet luncheons
or suppers, individual servings in small
amounts should be arranged.
An excellent hot luncheon entree for
this season is a caulifiower souffle. To
make 1t, wash small white head OF
caulifiower, separate 1t into small pieces
and cook for Is minutes in boiling
Salted water. Drain and put in the bot
tom of buttered baking dish. Those
made of glass are more attractive.
Melt four tablespoons of butter, add
three tablespoons of flour and one cup
milk Cook until the sauce is very thick,
then remove from the fire, add the
beaten yolks of three eggs, salt and pep
per to season and cool slightly Then
fold in the stiffly beaten whites of three
eggs.
Pour this over the caulifower and
sprinkle thickly with one-fourth cup Of
finely grated cheese. Bake for As min

When there is an invalid in your
family--or somebody recovering from
an illness-you are sometimes hard put
to it to present, day after day, meal
after meal. tempting tray
The contents Of the tray. of course,
are governed by the food prescribed py
the doctor If the invalid is on soft
diet, you cannot serve roast pork ar 1
turnips, no matter how attractive you
might think they look
And sometimes it is hard to make
milk toast and baked cuStard look as
good as turkey and its fixings.
But given the necessity of following
a restricted diet. you can make the in
valid's tray something to tempt the ap-
petite as we'll as conform to professional
requirements.
To begin with, the tray If you can.
without being extravagant, make it
worth while to have a bed tray on four
legs, or bedside table that extends
over the invalids lap, so much the bet
ter. Otherwise, have a lightweight
metal tray, large enough to hold every
thing without danger of Spilling. light
enough not to be burden to the sick
person.
You can make a satisfactory bed tray
by screwing lightweight wooden tray
or one of raffia to two oblong blocks
of wood enameled to match the tray.
The blocks of wood should be about ten
inches high, and approximately as long
as the width of the tray. They hold
it off the knees of the sick persons quite
adequately.
Next to the tray, have the tray COW
erings attractive. They must, first, be
immaculate. And if the problem of
laundry is hard one, remember. that
clean paper. napkins and tray covers
are far superior to damaSk ones that
are not absolutely fresh.
AS for dishes, choose those that are
attractive from your china shelves or
else buy new ones that are specially
nice in color and shape. You can often
pick up very pretty things for 10 cents
each. And for larger, though still low,
prices you can find real treats in the
way of invalid's china. Keep 1t just for
that purpose, if your invalid Is a per-
manent one. or your convalescent is a
convalescent for many weeks.
Where there is a real invalid in the
family, special tray breakfast set or
glass luncheon set would be a most
acceptable gift.
Now, so much for the tray. If you
have time. fresh flower in a little vase,
candles lighted on the bedside table for
the meal at night, once in while a
place card or little favor-all these
things make the invalids meal more
palatable. But if there is no time to
waste, then tray comfortably ar
ranged, set forth with Immediately
clean china and napkin, is all that is
needed.
Remember that the invalids appe-
tite is often light. and that it is tempt
ed by small portions, when large ones
would, overwhelm it. 1t is also often
tempted when an empty plate is set
before it. with the meat and vegetables
