tables on less food, but at the same
time keep up nutritional standards.
Now there is plenty of food, but little
money with which to purchase it. So
housewives are forced to do the same
thing.
Complies Food Guide.
One of Mrs. Gilbreth's first moves is
to have drawn up by the Bureau of
Home Economies of the Department of
food items which can be secured at a
minimum of expense but which con-
tain in sufficient quantities all the nee
essary ingredients for keeping family
in good health. No specific prices are
affixed to the list because these vary
from week to week in different parts of
the country.
The food problem, it is believed. is
especially acute in the poorer rural Sec
lions of the drought area where the
nutritional standards have been low at
best in Winter, the farmers having
little ready money and depending
largely on the fruits and vegetables
preserved by their wives during the
Summer Besides there have been the

Winter with hardly any expenditure for

Timmins Brings Engineers to Oversee Development
 on Whitewater Claims

Noah A. Timmins, prominent mining operator from Montreal, Quebec, accompanied by Mrs. Tim mins, his son Rudolph, MT. and Mrs. A. A. Pare and J. B. Wood worth, arrived in Juneau Sunday evening on the Prince Henry, en- route to his recently acquired Whitewater claims on the Taku
 T have very little to say at this time" MT Timmins said this morn ing, when he was interviewed at the Gastineau Hotel, but when I return to Juneau next Thursday expect to have some idea of what
 the Whitewater group is good for. I am taking MT. Pare and MT. Woodworth, men who have been associated with me for years, to look at the property"
 MT. Timmins has been interested in mining since 1904. when he made lucky strike in the Cobalt country in Ontario. His varied interests n u d the Hollenger mine, in northern Quebec, which has been paying dividends since 1911, and a group of claims on Porcher Island near Prince Rupert, which is new property about to be developed.
 There has been great impetus in prospecting in the easter provinces this year" MT Timmins said. More prospectors are out in the hills this summer than there have been since the war, I believe. I understand this is also true of the north. We expect to do three or four months work on the White water claims, and we'll either be on them, or off, by Christmas"
 MT. Timmins, accompanied by { MT Pare anS MT. Woodworth, who are mining engineers, will fly to the Tulsequah on one of the Alas ka Washington ways planes sometime today or tomorrow. They plan on returning the latter part of the week.

Provincial Engineer Visits Squaw Creek and Taku
 to Report Progress

Dr. J. T. Mandy, District En- gineer for the Bureau of Mines Province of British Columbia. ar rived from Haines on the steamer Northwestern, completing tour of inspection of the new diggings at Squaw Creek, in the Pleasant Camp country, adjacent to the Yukon boundary line.
 He reports considerable activity on the creek where about 12 In dians and 10 whites are engaged in mining. Several fair clean-ups were made while Dr. Mandy was on the ground, enc of which pro- duced a nugget valued at S70. One miner reported a $1.0O0 cleanup in June, and Paddy Duncan, on Dis covery, recovered $170 in one lucky day.
 PIucky Woman Miner
 Tt is rather unusual to see a woman handling a pick and shovel these days" Dr. Mandy said, but at Squaw Creek I saw Mrs. Nun caster working her own claim and doing a good job of it. She handles a pick and shovel with the rest, and is making pretty fair pay"
 During his tour of the Pleasant Camp country Dr. Mandy inspected the development work being carried on by William Bunting, well known miner from the Portland Canal country. who is driving a tunnel on the Gold Cord property, formerly the Stampede Mine. The deep snows of last winter have de- layed the work, in a measure, but Bunting's work shows considerable promise, Dr. Mandy asserted. A new vein has been discovered.
 To Visit Tulsequah
 Niagara Creek, tributary of the Taku, is Dr. Mandy's next ob- jective. He has arranged with the Alaska Washington Airways for transportation to the creek, and expects to spend about 10 days there, interviewing prospectors and inspecting development work now being pursued on the creek.
 T understand there has been some interesting discoveries made on Niagara Creek" said Dr. Mandy, land I hope to be able to cor roborate this report when I re- turn"

Advances to Second Round
in Tourney by Beating
Louisiana State.

ATLANTA, Ga, February 28.-Uni-
versity of Maryland, which eliminated
Louisiana State, 81 to SO, in one OF
the eight firSt-round matches in the
Southern Conference basket ball tour
ney yesterday. had real fight on Its
hands to stay in the running today.
The Old Liners, who played smooth
game yesterday TO impress the experts,
had to tackle North Carolina this after
noon at 3 o'clock in the second round.
Just how well these teams are
matched is told by the count of their
previous game in the regular season at
College Park, when the Old Liners won,
33 to 81, in an extra period.
Both had tough games yesterday,
North Carolina being hard put to nose
out Vanderbilt, % to 81.
There was only one distinct upset
Yesterday. That was the victory OF
Tennessee over Alabama, champion last
year although Florida did the unex-
pected by eliminating Georgia Iech.
The upper and lower half OF the con-
ference each had four teams left in the
running at the beginning of play today,
but the Northern sector with Maryland,
North Carolina, Duke and Kentucky
appeared to hold a margin of power.
Georgia, the pre-tourney choice OF
the majority of experts, had close call
last night when 1t was sent overtime TO
defeat Washington and Lee, quint
that has not Jared so well in games with
rivals in the Northern section, being
twice beaten by Maryland in the regu-
lar campaign.
Maryland's team play was good
against Louisiana State yesterday, but
1t was the exceptional work of Berger
and Ronkin that enabled the Old
Liners to triumph. Berger got Is points
and Ronkin 10.
