Kitchens, all over the world, at
this season, are fairly bubblinS
with good things-spices, sweets
and surprises. Swing open that
big oak door that let's you into a
kitchen in Germany. 1t has been
a festive place for weeks and
weeks. Mother in an ample apron
and daughter with her fiaxen
braids bobbing about, are busy
right now making spicy little
Christmas cookies and cutting
them in shapes of stars and bears
and moons and rabbits. And just
over the border in that little
Austrian cottage kitchen, there
are tantalizing smells of freshly
baking bread. Two great loaves
have gone into the oven to bake
for the Christmas feast-one to
represent the Old Testament and
one to represent the New Testa-

that big basket on the table and
fat jars Of golden honey to eat
on the big loaves Of bread.

 IN POSITIONS
Installation Is Held Last Night Various Sur
 prises Given

At the monthly social meetino Of the American Legion Auxiliary held Thursday evening at 8 o'clock in the Dug Out the newly-elect ed officers for the ensuing year were installed. The installing cere- monies were conducted by Mrs. Edna Policy who is President of the Department of Alaska. It was quite an honor to the local unit to have a department president preside.
 The officers installed were: Mrs. Esther Seelye, President Mrs. Edith Bavard, First Vice President; Mrs. Marion Hendrick- son, Second Vice President: Mrs Vic Manville, Secretary; Mrs. Mary Watkins, Sergeant at Arms. The new officers who were un- able to attend the meeting will be installed at later meeting.
 President Honored The outgoing President is Mrs. Beth Nordling, who has served for two years, and appreciation of her work in the unit was expressed by ordering for her a Past Presidents pin, which will be presented to her later.
 Surprise Sprung Also, the outgoing Secretary is Mrs. Mildred Clark, who has serv- ed for the past six years. Be- cause of her many years of work in the unit, she was given her choice of either a Past Secretary pin or a Past-Secretary ring. And, then as a surprise, the unit pre- sented to her a beautiful hand tooled purse, which was purchased by the unit from a disabled vet eran formerly of the Anchorage Post.
 At this meeting it was announc- ed that baby and child clinic will be held by the Auxiliary in the Dug-Out on Friday, October 28, from 1:30 to 400 o'clock. This is the beginning of these clinics for the fall and winter, and it is hoped that many mothers will bring their children to this clinic for examination.
 After the installation was con- 'oluded last night, cards were played and delicious refreshments were served by the incoming of- ficers.

Thirty Canneries in South east Alaska Have Large
 Production

Preliminary figures on the 1882 salmon pack of Southeast Alaska issued today from local headquar- ters of the United States Bureau of Fisheries, placed the production for the year at 2,189,6 ,675 cases. Only 30 canneries were operated, II less than the number operat- ing in 1881.
 The same canneries operating last year produced 1887 ,962 cases. This years pack, however, was about 350,000 cases short of that for 1881, the decrease being due entirely to the failure of the Il canneries to operate.
 The pink salmon production was 1 ,366,334 cases, and led all other varieties. The chum pack aggre- gated 574,439 cases; reds, 138,428; Cohoes, 96,968 cases; and Kings 23,477 eases.

Cheap Crop Protection
in Treatment of Seed

Treating seed Is a common practice
on modern farms. Farmers have az
customed themselves to protecting po-
tatoes, oats, barley, and wheat from
attacks Of bacterial and' fungus dis
eases. Experiment stations are find
ing that corn also suffers from fungus
diseases through which losses Of vary
ing extent result These stations have
also discovered that proper treatment
will save these losses. Such treatment
has added substantially to the yields
of the resulting crops while the cost
is not more than five cents per acre.
The Illinois experiment station
makes this statement: "SOme very
striking increases In stand, vigor and
yield Of corn have been obtained from
seed treatment. Even with the very
best seed obtainable, seed treatment,
in Illinois experiments, has usually
proved worth while. Treated seed can
be planted earlier with greater safety
than untreated seed, for there is less
danger Of damage because of unfavor-
able weather conditions, In case it
should lie on the ground a long time
before sproutlng. Seed treatment may
also be of special benefit in case the
soil Is wet when the corn is in the
seeding stage"

Protects Source Of "PearP' Buttons

Mississippi river send ont men to
scoop up fish stranded by receding
food waters in pools which would
otherwise dry up. One fish may
carry as many as $500 tiny mussels.
In one year some 3O0,0O0,OOO fresh
water mussels were thus restored
TO circulation The mussel requires
about five years TO grow to a good
commercial size.
"Mussels are valued at river
bank prices. which range from $40
to $130 per ton. But often there are
extra dividends in the form of real
pearls, which are found in musesls
of inland waters as well as In the
oyster shells of the ocean. One
Illinois digger sold a pearl to a
Mount Carmel jeweler for $500. The
jeweler took ii to New York. where
1t brought $4,000. Then 1t returned
to Illinois by way of Paris.
Although mussels are edible they
are not highly valued as a food. The
American Indians, however, appar-
emily were fond of them, because
great piles of unchipped mussel
shells can be found around their en-
campments."

Old French Defenses Are
Discovered by Laborers.

Bar-le-Duc.-As excavations for
the construction Of an American
monument were being made on the
peak of Montafucon, In the Argonne,
the foundations Of an old fortress
built there by GodefrOy de BouillOn
in 1916 were discovered.
The American monument is to
commemorate the 1872 soldiers OF
the United States army who were
killed there in September, 1918,
when the position was taken from
the Germans. The old fort is said
to have been destroyed and recon
structed in the Eleventh. Thirteenth,
Fifteenth, Sixteenth and Seven
teenth centuries and finally burned
with the village during the Thirty
Years war by the Swedes.
Godefroy de Bouillon was a young
vassal of Emperor Henry ". from
whom he received the title of Mar
Quisate of Anvers at the death of
Godefroy-le- Bossu. The fortress was
dismantled when the Due de Basse
Lorraine left with the Crusaders.
Explorations are being made by
Baron Renaux. curator of the Yer
don museum and library, under the
auspices of the ministry of fine arts.
in collaboration with Canon Almond,

so far are an entrance stairway, a

stone bench, and several piles of
burned wheat, indicating the de-
struction of 1886.

Terracing Costs

Cost Of terracing cultivated land
varies from SO to 81 an acre to as high
as S12 to S15, depending largely upon
character of soil. slope Of land, and
amount Of erosion that already has
taken place, says the bureau of agri-
cultural engineering, United States De
partment of Agriculture. 1t is more
expensive to terrace a field that IS
badly cut up with gullies than one
which has a comparatively smooth
slope. Gullies have to be crossed by
terraces, and much extra work is nee
essary to strengthen terraces at such
points. The bureau believes that "a to
SS an acre is a conservative estimate
of the average cost of terracing.

Build Safest of Vaults

has been carried out behind high
barricades.
The outer doors Of the safes are
described as artillery proof. The
outer shells are bronze while the
cores are solid blocks of 3-inch
steel.
All the "strong room" system
rests on a threefoot bed of con-
crete reinforced with hardened
steel rods. and covered with lay
er of steel. The sides of the vaults
and safes are protected in the same
way. Architects are certain that
no amount of tunneling would ever
permit access from below or from
the sides.
The only feasible access to the
safes and vaults will be from
above, through massive grille gates
and steel doors, guarded, If neces-
sary, by machine gunners. Inside
these gates and doors is a deep
shaft, with elevators, leading down
to the level of the vaults.
In emergencies this shaft can be
flooded. drowning intruders, with
no danger of the water penetrating
the strong rooms.
There are more strong grilles at
the bottom OF the shaft and the
huge safe door weighs % tons. Not
even the governor of the bank can
open the safe door. The combina-
ton code of the lock is divided up,
no one person knowing all of it.
Even inside the safe door there
are innumerable steel doors to be
opened before a single bar of gold
could be removed from the rack
on which it lies.
