Friday Fish

((CHEER UP!" people used to
say to a man who was in
despair because he had
been jilted-"there's plenty more
good fish in the seal" Today, to
the housewife who's in despair
because it's Friday again and all
the fish store offers is halibut, the
words of comfort are: "Cheer up!
there's plenty more good fish in
cans!" If the fish dealer fails her,
she goes on to the grocer's and
finds on his shelves enough menu
inspiration for two or even three
sea-food dinners week.
Around canned shad roe she can
build a very appetizing meal.
Shrimps-why not curry them?
Crabmeat-why not serve a crab
meat and tomato omelette? And
there's still plenty more good fish
in cans-haddock, herring, mack
erel, salmon, tuna, all very care
fully selected and as nourishing
as when they left their native
waters.
Two Friday Dishes
Next Friday try one Of these
recipes which are quickly made
main dishes that serve eight peo-
pie.
MackereI Shepherds Pie: Drain
a half a cup of canned peas and
one 8-ounce can of diced carrots,
and add them to two cups OF white
sauce. Flake a 1-pound can of
fresh mackerel, and fork it into
the sauce so that it remains in
fairly large flakes. Pour the COM
bined ingredients into a buttered
baking dish, and pile fluffy, we'll
seasoned potatoes on top. Brush
with melted butter and bake in a
moderate oven until they are very
hot and the potatoes are golden
brown.
Tuna Fish and Rice toith Cdper
Sauce: Place large can OF tuna
in water enough to cover 1t and
boil It until it is thoroughly
heated. Remove the fish from the
tin without breaking it, and place
1t in the center of a platter. Mean
while boil some rice, drain a cup
of it, and pile it in a ring around
the fish. Slice three hard-cooked
eggs and arrange them in a ring
around the base of the rice. Add
four tablespoons Of capers to
about two cups Of white sauce and
pour the sauce over the fish

years has been key man in the
Barrow crime organization, built up
long record of major robberies and
also has killing charged against him.
He was sentenced to 263 years i'm

 Foreign Policy
COUNTRY PREPARED
 FOR ANY EMERGENCY
Threat Is Hurled Especial ly at Japan and Ger
 many Is Tinted

MOSCOW, Feb. 1.-Unqualified support of all the Soviet Union to the Communist Party is Stalin's demand in his "Keep Off the Grass" foreign policy and prepar- edness for any emergency.
 On the seventeenth day of the Communist Party Congress, Stalin made the gesture of preparedness and the delegates roared approval and gave him an unprecedented mandate of confidence.
 Warning Sounded
 We warn everybody not to poke their shouts into the Soviet po- tato patch" declared Stalin, and he further sternly proclaimed:
 Tt is a mistake to think that the ambition to wage war against the Soviet Union and share its territory is held only by the Jap anese military circles. We know very well it is shared by other po- litical circles in Europe"
 The last reference, it is said here, is believed intended to strike at Germany.

 The first feat which brought him to wide notice was a jaunt to the Bahamas. There he located the exact landing place of Christopher Columbus on Waiting Island, or San Salvador, and placed perna- nent marker at the spot. This enterprise brought him recognition from the British Royal Geographi- cal Society.
 In 1911 Wellman wrote a book called "The Aerial Age" He fol- lowed it with "The German Re public" and The Force Supreme. '' A work which attracted much at tention at the time came out in 1909, when a controversy was rag ing ever the alleged discovery of the North Pole by Dr. Frederick A. Cook. Wellman wrote an expose of Cooks claims which was recog- nized as of considerable authority.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-- America went to work today with it's dollar devalued by 40.94 per cent of it's former gold content while the Treas ury juggled $2,77O,O00,0OO profit in it's pOck e t S and watched for the juggles in dollar levels abroad.
 President Roosevelt had at his command a stabiliZati0n fund made up of two billion dollars for his new money but early official indications were it will not at once be wielded drastic y
 Further, the United States is declared to be on sort of modified gold standard, or rather an international bull lion standard by the Presi- dents unexampled steps.

 The Treasury will offer $35 an ounce for "any and all gold"
 The President h e l d until further notice" the dollar re- valued at 59.06 per cent of it's gold content but any major currency adjustments abroad, however, are looked for as tip for a further notice signal.

SANKEY, FAMOUS KIDNAPER, CAUGHT
First Nan to Attempt to
 Cross Atlantic by Plane
 Passes Avay in Ne,o York

NEW YORK. Feb. 1. - Walter Wellman, explorer and journalist, pioneer areonaut and scientist, died yesterday after an illness of three months. His widow survives.
 Wellman far outlived his career of adventure which reached it's climax in 1910 when he became the first man to attempt to cross the Atlantic Ocean by air
 Earlier he had risked his life several times in attempts to reach the North Pole, twice on foot and twice by airship.
 The attempted Atlantic crossing lasted 79 hours and took Wellman and his crew of five nearly 1000 miles Londonward from Atlantic City, N J. Then the airship was abandoned and Wellman and his men were taken aboard a rescue ship.
 Polar Flights
 The Wellman polar flights in 1906 and 1909 were unsuccessful because of accidents. When Peary attained the North Pole on foot, Wellman discontinued his efforts. His transatlantic venture was his last.
 After the dramatic rescue in mid ocean and the floating away into space of the airship America, , never to be seen again, Wellman gave up air-trayel. He never again entered either an airship or an airplane.
 The latters years of the explor- CTS life were spent quietly in New York. He made his home on upper Broadway and occasionally visited the Explorers Club, where his TO- bust figure and vigorous, mustached countenance were well known.
 Distinguished Journalist
 Wellman was one of the dis tinguished journalists of his day. His publishing career began at the age of 14 when he started a weekly newspaper at Sutton, Neb. He founded the Cincinnati Evening Post when he was 21 and for many years was Washington correspond ent of The Chicago Herald and that papers successor, The Record Herald. He wrote of his aerial and explorative adventures for news papers and contributed many ar

CHAMBER HEARS 0F PROVISIONS ON CHILD LABOR
Wade Outlines Portion of Salmon Canning Code
 Board to Act Soon

Under Article 5, Section l, of the proposed Alaska Salmon Gamers Code, employment of persons und- CT 16 years of age is prohibited, the Chamber of Commerce was ad- vised today by Hugh J. Wade, De- putty MIRA Administrator for AL aska. It had been suggested by Delegate A. J. Dimond, he added, that this would work hardship in certain local communities and he had in mind that a modification might be obtained if it were desired by Alaskans and proper showing was made
 The provision, MT Wade pointed out, is the standard one to guard against child labor and is the Presidents own suggestion to attain that end. Its results in the sweat shops of the East and certain of the largest industries have been remarkably beneficial, he declared.
 Seeks Chambers Opinion
 MT. Wade asked for the Cham ber's opinion as to the effect of it's application to the Territory. After some discussion, in which it was pointed out that considerable number of children under Is years are employed during the peak of the canning season in light work about canneries and that exclusion of them would reduce materially the earning power of many fam flies, particularly in the Indian communities, the Board of Di- rectors was authorized to confer further with MT. Wade and take whatever action it considered neces- sary.

In dealing with the NRA-Fed- eral Trade Commission row and the Veterans Compensation issue, President Roosevelt has given fresh proof that he knows when to com promise.
 More and more it is recognized in Washington that large part of his influence over Congress aris- es from exactly that trait. Con- cededly an expert in assessing pop ular and political trends, he has succeeded thus far in avoiding en- tirely the impossible legislative sit nations which have plagued so many Presidents.

IN ERIOR BILL
 PASSES;ALASKA ITEMS NOT CUT
House Sends Appropriation Bill to Senate as Sub-
 mitted to It

WASHINGTON, D. O., Jan. 20 Especial Correspondence The Interior Department appropriation bill for the fiscal year 1885 passed the House yesterday with no changes so far as Alaska items are concerned.
 During the days when the bill was being debated Delegate Di- mond remained constantly on the floor of the House. Mindful of an occasion before he was Delegate when a member moved to strike out the entire appropriation for the Alaska Road Commission, MT Dimond stayed on the job, ready to fight against any move for sub- stantial reduction of the Alaska appropriation Fortunately n d perhaps because of his continuous presence-there was none.
 Urges Indian Aid
 Twice during the debate the Delegate rose to address the House Each time he urged that the Fed eral Government be more liberal in it's treatment of Alaska Indians He pointed out that the amount expended on them per capita is substantially less than for Indians in the States. MT. Dimond offered an amendment to the bill increas- ing by $100,000 the budget figures for education of Alaska Indians but it was defeated by the ad- ministration forces, who had pledg- ed themselves before debate began not to increase any item.
 Tn urging the adoption of hi: amendment the Delegate said, ir part:
 "The native Indians of Alaska and I include the Eskimos as wei as the Indians-have never beer treated with the same degree ot 4dll llCoS Ol SSllCl OoAJys II you Ndl it that. as have the Indians of the United States. Under this bil the Indians of the United State. who are in the ward status art given $60 per head for education and other relief. while in Alaska they are being given less than hal of that. They peed the same hell in Alaska. They need it there just as much as everywhere else, anc I think in some cases the neces. sity is perhaps greater One O the troubles has been that the In. dians of Alaska have been too pa. tient. It has never been necessary at the end of a war in which a loi of people were killed to make 6 treaty with them. build schools fol them, and take care of them gen. orally, as has been the case il this country.

COMMISSION DISAPPOINTED

The Federal Trade Commission fire has been smoldering for a long time. The President took notice of it only when it began to ap- pear that it might break into a spectacular conflagration.
 When the National Industry Re- covery Act was drafted, some of it's authors felt the administering body should be the Trade Commis- sion, which had been negotiating for years for restricted fair-prac- tice codes in industry.
 The Commission was much dis appointed, and possibly a little re- sentful, when MIRA was created and suddenly sprang into such ex- traordinary prominence.
