DOUGLAS NEVIS
STREETS ARE BEING
 RAPIDLY OPENED UP

With the aid of federal prison CTS from Juneau for the first time this week, much headway was made in opening the streets of Douglas to delivery traffic. With what had been accomplished the day before by Mayor Kilburn and Marshal Bliss on the road to the school, that thoroughfare was ready for car travel early in the day and a supply of coal to last while was hauled there before evening. The help of the prisoners is available for today and tomorrow of this week and by Friday night delivery service will be available on all the main thoroughfares.

 From Marthas clothes close t Enid produced a somewhat shabby dress of dark material; the bureau drawers furnished a pair of black cotton stockings and a discarded pair Of spectacles. She discovered ! pair of worn, low-heeled shoes and the shelf of the closet dis closed an unstylish and frayed old hat with a wide brim.

 t was far from being perfect as a

 The mirror told her that there was something noticeably incongru- ous about her appearance in this attempt of hers to pass for mid dle-aged, inoffensive little woman of the poorer class. Her clothes carried out the idea perfectly, and, thanks to the hat, no one would have been able to tell whether her hair was gray, brown, or yellow; but, in spite of the added assis- tance furnished by the spectacles, she looked too youngl
 This gave her a moment of anx- iety, and then a queer little smile of relief crossed her lips Down. stairs in the kitchen there were cold ashes in the stove A little grime, though she must be careful not to overdo it, would remove the freshness from her face-yes, and disguise those well-kept hands of hers as we'll

Not in the least. Goodby!"
Celia ran lightly downstairs. AS
the sound of her footsteps faded
Mrs. Rogers hurried into the bed
room, pulled open the second bu-
reau drawer and fumbled under a
pile of clothes for the hidden en-
velope.
She found it, sat down on the bed
and stared a long while at the
handwriting. Finally Margaret
Rogers opened the envelope and
drew out a folded sheet. The hand
which held the letter was shaking.

Mrs. Rogers nodded, but her face

Mrs. Rogers entered the bedroom
and removed her hat. Then, watch
ing the door cautiously, she took a
large white envelope from her hand
bag, opened a bureau drawer and
slipped the envelope under a pile
of garments. A few moments later
she was back in the living rooom.
No need to ask how Celia's day
had gone. Mrs. Rogers knew that If
there had been the slightest encour-
aging news she would have heard it
at once.

OF course a good position required

1t was really inconceivable to the
mother that her daughters excep-
tional qualities should not be recog-
nized soon by some able employer.
They finished the meal and to-
gether gathered up the dishes. Celia
insisted she would do" them.
Grudgingly Mrs. Rogers finally
agreed.
There came a shrill call from
the downstairs hallway.

Celia leaned over the banister.

She was wearing a short-sleeved

odors. Margaret Rogers took no
notice of the unpleasant smell. 1t
was all so familiar. She and Celia
had lived in these third floor quar-
ters for six years.
Before that there had been other
oreary rooms, high up in equally
dilapidated houses Converted" for
housekeeping purposes. Tucked
away in her memory Celia Rogers
still retained the vision of diff
ferent sort Of home, cheerful with
sunlight and flowers and bright
furniture.
Celia had been such little girl
then-not yet 5. The cheerful home
had gone soon after the night
Daddy Bob failed to come home.
They never did bring Bob Rogers
home. The street car which struck
MIN left the body terrifically dis
figured and unacceptable.
After that had come a success
sion Of rooming houses and then
furnished rooms" Bob Rogers had
played his violin in theater or
chestra. Practical considerations
such as insurance and savings &C
counts never had interested him so
much as his lovely melodies.
So Margaret Rogers had left her
5-year-old daughter at the school
house each morning and gone on to
2 day of sewing. Later she had OBJ
tanned the position in the shop, fit
ting and stitching gowns. 1t was
pleasanter. better pay, and it had
provided the money for Celias
schooling.
The girl had fretted as she grew
older, notihg her mothers drawn
face and tired eyes. Celia had
talked impetuour'v of leaving school
TO work and ease the burden. Mrs.
Rogers always replied firmly. Celia,
she insisted, was 10 learn a better
way to earn a living. Celia was to
have training. The high school
commercial course seemed to offer
the best opportunity. Together they
had achieved this goal.
Morning, noon and night every
thing that Margaret Rogers did and
thought was for Celia. The girl was
her pride. She had cOntrived frocks
for ner, made of the cheapest ma
terials. but always attractive and
becoming by sewing evenings. She
had ma aged household tasks to
give Cell time for her studies.
More than that, Margaret had
managed 10 inbue the frugal home
with a dignity which enabled her
daughter to accept poverty without
social stigma.
How she had come to do so Celia
could not have explained Their
two rooms were furnished with bare
necessities. Their pleasures were
the simplest. But Celia understood
her mother was not like the loud
voiced Mrs. Connors across the hall,
nor the complaining Mrs. Lacey,

passed her second floor doorway to

Mrs. Rogers was not like anyone
else who dwelt in the building.

All Happiness Ended
for Betrayer of Trust

One OF the most beautiful things In
the world is the trust that some one
places in us. OF course, there are
varying kinds Of trust
n we are trusted In our business
affairs, how we thrill at the oppor-
tunity Of proving that the trust is
entirely justified Perhaps there steals
into us, at some untOward moment,
the still, small and cunning voice
Of evil--and we forget. Then our world
tumhles around us. We have failed;
and the iron Of disappointment enters
into our soul.
1t happens. too, sometimes. Ia our
private life. We are loved. dearly.
and with sacrifice. We feel that we
shall never fall before the specious
Temptations that jostle us as we go
wandering Alas it Is the pride In
us that lets down the drawbridge for
the tempter to enter our castle.
We must watch our trust vallantly
aye, and ruthlessly. or else -

TELLS HOW BEST
TO CAN CHICKEN

Chicken should be killed from six
to twelve hours before canning" says
Miss Frances Smith, extension foods
and nutrition specialist at Montana
State College. 1T takes that long for
the animal heat to leave the body.
Miss Smith said that low poultry prices
rs we'll as lowered family incomes
made it advisable for many rural
women in Montana to can chicken for
sale or home use during the coming
winter
After the chicken has been thor
oughly cooled and washed it should be
cut into the regular pieces. Then, Miss
Smith says it is ready to be packed
in clean hot jars. To each quart of
chicken two teaspoonfuls of salt should
be added. Then the jars are sealed and
processed in a pressure cooker for 80
minutes at 10 pounds pressude. The meat
juice will form a jelly around the
chicken when the jars cool. Packed
in this manner the chicken may be
used for making creamed chicken
chicken pie, chicken salad, sandwiches
or may be served plain.
Fried chicken may be canned in the
same way by rolling the pieces in sea-
soned flour and cooking until about
two-thirds done in hot fat. The fat i:
poured over the chicken in the jars
The processing is the same as for can
ming the chicken raw.
The length of time for processing
raw meat is the same as for pre-cookec
meat as it takes longer for the hea
to penetrate the scared surface Of th'
pre-cooked meat.
Where a pressure cooker is not avail.
able the water bath method may bs
used. In that case a copy OF the Mon
tana Time Table should be obtained
from the Montana Extension Servic'
in order to assure processing the cor
rect length Of time for the variou
attitudes over the state.

the most remarkable things l have
seen on my travels. The operation
was performed on child. They used

The pygmies also know a remedy

have been unable to learn whether
the medicine they use is a permanent
cure or only check. Whatever 1t is,
however, 1t will be valuable to science
