BIOLOGISTS MAKING STUDY

Forty or more scientists of the geologic branch of the Geological Survey with their assistants and have been during the scattred turnout the Unit ed States and Alaska making field studies that serve as basis for determining the probable mineral character and value of the public domain which remains under the care of the Department of the Interior
 The greater part of this geological work is in the Western States where interest in mineral resources is keener than the East and where the government is directly concerned because of it's ownership of large bod ies of public lands.
 Since the World War Alaska's appropriations for this sort of field work has been cut to extremely small amount especially when the involved is considered The late Dr. Alfred Brooks during economic period at tendant with that war; asked that the Alaska appropria ton be cut many thousands of dollars His request acted upon but since that time Congress has repeatedly refused to increase Aaskas budget to it's former status and instead have held to the small amount which voluntarily asked during the in spirit of patriot ic fervor Miners and prospectors almost helpless without assistance from this department and their would be great rejoicing next years appropriation increased permitting geoogsts to prowl about the Territory and tell us what have, where likely place appears for prospecting Investigation what place lacking potential mineral resources.

ART OF BUILDING MENU TOLD

The person who builds menus day
after day and year after year must be
an artist and an engineer. AS an en-
gineer she must know the kinds of
food from which the menu should be
built-too much of one kind of food
and too little of another means an I'M
balanced diet. So the menu builder
must see that the structure of the diet
is made up of the proper amounts Of
protein, energy giving fodos, minerals,
vitamins and water.
The artist may then embellish the
structural frame work of the menu by
the manner in which the essential
foods are prepared and served.
The artist menu builder will never
serve meal that is all one color or
one consistency any more than the en-
gineer menu builder will serve a meal
that is all carbohydrate or fat.
The artist seeks variation in all par
ticulars. The methods of cooking and
the texture of the chief dish of each
course as the courses follow one an
other must be varied as tic. shape, color
and flavor. The garnishing should be
carefully selected Above all, the
artist avoids the temperance of
food which has already been served in
some other course.
