The month just ended yesterday was the wettest March ever record ed in Juneau, according to the of ficial summary of weather condi- tions issued today by R. c. Mize Meteorologist in Charge, United States Weather Bureau. The total precipitation was 1912 inches, 4.4s above the average for the month and AS inches greater than the previous high record of March, 1884.

 In his summary MT. Mize said:
 The coldest March of record was that of 1918 with a mean of 27.6 degrees and the warmest was that of 1905 with mean of 42.6 de- grees. The highest temperature during the month was 48 degrees on the 27th and 30th, and the low est was 2 degrees on the 18th and 18th. This was the second lowest minimum ever recorded in March. Previous extremes were 6l degrees and 5 degrees.
 The total precipitation was 1O12 inches, or e.46 inches above the normal, making this the wettest March of record, the previous high record having been 9.64 inches in 1884.

an also would receive 10 per cent in the destroyer division, the ton nages being America 150,000, Japan l05,000. The two nations would have parity in submarines in which each could build 52,000 tons. The tentative schedule would give the United States a total tonnage of 527,000 and Japan 366,90O or 696 per cent of the American total.
 Supplementing this schedule Am erica would undertake to complete only Is big cruisers before 1886. The remaining three would be laid down, one annually, beginning in 1883.
 Japan on the other hand would not be permitted to lay down any more big cruisers before 1886. Jap an would retain her present strength composed of four 10000 ton cruisers, the Nachi Myoko, Ha- guro, and Ashigara, alerady com pleted and the four 7,1O0-ton ves- sells, the Furutakama, Abba, Kako and Kinukasa, which are also com pleted. The four 10,0O0-ton ships which are being built, the Takao, Atago, Chokai and the Maya, of which the last probably will be completed by the end of 1882. would also be retained.

WRIGHT FIELD, Dayton, O., April | Taking picture Of 8 mountain 25O miles distant is the next goal of Capt A. w. Stevens of the army air corps, holder of the record distance shot of 227 miles.
 Captain Stevens says the attempt probably will be made in June with some towering peak of the Rockies as the cameras objective and seat in an airplane two or three miles aloft carrying the cam era.
 The peak at which he shoots" probably will be invisible to the eye, the big camera being pointed by calculation much as a big gun is handled.

 The picture was taken while Captain Stevens was 17oo0 feet above a point near the middle of the state of Oregon.
 June and December are the best months for such pictures, says Cap tain Stevens He doubts that pie lures can be taken from distance beyond 250 miles because of the earth's curvature.
 The army cameraman suspects, however. that there may be suffi- cient curvature of light rays through the bending powers of the atmosphere to give perhaps an "inkling" of objects a short dis

Brimned Hats

find brins again In favor, even though

ever, from these we are wearing by their

tinguished by the great amount of hand
work. Tucks, pleats, shirrings and
other ingenious manipulations of the
material. be 1t felt, straw or fabric,
supply the trimming.
For an intermediate hat--one which
will look appropriate in the snow-cov-
cred North and equally we'll when you
arrive in the South-fabric is happy
solution. You may choose from the
wool and silk tricots, faille satin and
grosgrain ribbon. These you can COM
bine with felt in short brims or they
are made In sectional pieces to At the
head like bonnet or beret. The first
of the novelties to arrive, the bakou
hat with silk crepe scarf at the back,
has already been adapted for the
traveller.
Your hat should link definitely into
the ensemble. The idea of matching
the fur is good one to follow when
fur is in evidence. In its absence you
may match 1t to the dominant note of
dress or blouse. Very often it matches
in color the shoes.

Rugs for the Living Room

So adequate Is the furnace heat that
there is no opportunity for a fire on
the hearth.
But the clever woman manages to
keep the furnace heat down SO that a
a fire on the hearth can be OCCASION
ally lighted, even in Winter.
But not only the fireplace-all the
furniture, all the furnishings of the
house become attractive. Just because
we are shut in with them. we grow to
appreciate them again.
In the Summer, when we are out
doors as much OF the time as we can
possibly afford to be out. we forget or
ignore our houses. The porches and
windows and baths are the only inter-
esting features Of them in hot weather.
But now it's different. We spend
time. and, therefore, lavish attention
on our household interiors.
Rugs are important as a foundation
for the furnishing of the living room.
THE color must be right, and the rug
itself must lie fiat and secure on the
floor.
Some rugs curl at the corners and
some don't, and seemingly you can
not tell when you buy the rug whether
it is going to be one that does or one
that doesn't. There are several WAYS
of preventing this, but about. the sim
plest way-and one that has proved
most successful--is to make some thin
starch and rub 1t into the part of the

Scientific Aides in Cooking

were married,
Other women will go home and say,
That omelet may have worked for her
but 1t won't for me. I won't waste
my eggs. I'll scramble them" Others,
never heard of a cake that wouldn't
fall If you opened the oven door,"
Now what earthly good did 1t do
women like that to take the day of
and go to cooking school? Every single
thing that was different from what they
expected they turned up their noses at
and refused to try. And If they were
going just to be told things they al
ready knew, they might as well have
stayed at home.
The women who listened to every
word with willingness to try 1t even
II 1t did sound contrary to everything
they had ever done, the women who
carried home the recipes determined
to try every one of them-they were
the ones who did well to 60 to cooking
school.
Science has made great strides in
the last IS years. So has cooking.
Things we do now our grandmothers
would never have thought Of doing.
Combinations we have made I'D into
dinner plates now were unheard Of
years ago. But that doesn't mean they
aren't worth trying. And what is Q
cooking school for II not to unearth
new ideas and pass them on?
In many cases the new ideas taught
in a school of this kind are the result
of long and patient research. You
may be sure that the recipes suggested,
however startling they may sound at
first, have all been thoroughly tested
and found good.
