Present Status of Program in Alaska Told by R. =
 w. Gridley

Dates for the opening of bids on PWA projects in Valdez, Cordova and Anchorage were announced to- day by Ross w. Gridley, State En- gineer Inspector. ei
 Bids on the Valdez school build ing, for which $35, 900 is available, will be opened on December '. Those on the building of the Cordova City Hall,, sewer system and school re pairs, which have been allotted $50,- 000, will be opened on December 6; while the Anchorage City, Hall and telephone system bids, granted s75,- 00G, will be opened December IA.
 Four School Projects
 Construction offers on four Ter ritorial schools, to be located at Bethel, South Naknek, Kiana and Talkeetna, will be opened in Juneau on November 27. The total costs of the projects is estimated at S60000, of which the PWA has granted $33,- GOO.
 Plans and specifications for all of the above projects have now been submitted and approved, according to Gridley, but probably none of the actual work will be started before next spring.
 Petersburg Job Ready Comeplete plans on the proposed street improvements at Petersburg have not yet been submitted to the EVA office, but the details are now said to have been strengthened out and bids will be called for in the near future.
 The award has been made for the laying of a pipe line for the water system at Wrangell, a $10,000 job, and work is to be started on the 18th of this month
 Seward Plans Progress
 Work on the Seward hydro electric system, estimated to cost $118,000, has been held in abeyance pending the submission of complete plans and specifications, which are now being drawn up. The Seward pro gram was included in the 1933-1935 PWA allotments, while all the others are a part of the current 1935-37 schedule. Approvals on the new

 New Ice Cream Recipes

Mrs. Joe Kendler, wife of the pro- prietor of the Alaska Dairy, wlo has returned to Juneau from an extend ed business and pleasure trip to Seattle, announces the purchase Of an improved ice cream freezer, with hardening and ripening cabinet which will arrive in March in time for the spring opening.
 Also purchased during her trip, and already in use in the dairy, is new bottle-capping m c hin 2, which, she reports, not only turns out heater bottles but provides abso- lute sanitation.
 The entire trip proved very valu- able, inasmuch as she learned many new ways of making ice creams, plain, with fruits and flavors, or in sherbets, ice cream bricks, and ice cream sandwiches.
 Most interesting of all were the laboratories of the various plants l visited Mrs. Render said today. T was shown every detail of operation of the Western Creamery Company, which is the largest establishment of its kind in the Northwest. As soon as the milk is brought to the plant from the farms, it goes to the laboratory and undergoes every mod ern and sci tific examination known. Should there be too many bacteria detected in a certain ship ment, the farmer is notified that hiS milk will not be purchased until hf can improve his bacteria test. So fai I had only read and heard of ths bacteria. This time I saw them through magnifying glasses. It was a great thrill
 After the milk has been tested it is dumped into huge tanks, ane from there is piped into the pasteur- izer. Then it is again piped into 2 brine cooler and always through pipes until it is bottled. The cases with the milk in them, are carried on electric conveyors to a large garage, where many trucks awai the beginning of the days delivery

She also likes the fountain pen the

The only authorized facsimile Of the

President Roosevelt spends several
hours day just signing letters, execu-

foreign potentates, proclamations and
all the many things he must sign. 1t
is pretty big burden, but nothing like
the task which confronted some of his
predecessors. At one time the law re-
quired the President to sign every
commission issued to notary publics

Down at the Post Office Department
they insist Mr.. Farley signs every
thing himself. He always uses green
ink on official or private mall-lust

match though.
In addition to the legal forgers in
the departments who make life easier
for the chiefs there are mechanical
forging aids today which make 1t
difficult to tell a hand-signed letter
from a machine-age product.
There are, of course. always rubber
stamps. made in exact imitation OF
signatures. Vice President Jack Gar
ner has a special one of very thin
rubber, linked lightly to prevent smear
ing and uses it on gallery cards. which
he gives to constituents who think
they have autographs.
A large duplicating firm, which used
to employ two fine legal forgers until
depression days, reports it has devel-
oped a wooden stamp which is
clearer and more natural appearing
than the rubber stamp and uses it on
fine "hand-signed work" With ma
chine aid, it can "sign" $500 letters
an hour. Some of this fine work comes
from Capitol Hill when Congress
men want their constituents to be-
lieve they are getting personal an

matches typewriter ribbons to multi
graph equipment and does the whole
thing up very neatly.
Their legal forgers could do about
200 or 800 names perfectly an hour,
but had to take time out to relax over
a smoke. They were Government
employees working after hours and the
firm felt it shouldn't encourage dou-

real hand signing is expensive ano

7 TAvE you ever heard of legal
- forger? Uncle Sam has and

admit it. officially, they help solve his
problem of "the personal touch" in
signing myriad of official documents.
What is a legal forger? man or
woman with all the expert penman-
ship ability that has landed less ethical
brothers and sisters in the hooSegow,
but who uses that pen-mimicking
talent only when and as authorized to
do so.
When you think of all the hundreds
and thousands of documents-many
routine-that must be signed by Gov
ernment officials, from the President
down, you must realize what a field
there is for legal forgery in the Dis
trict. Yet hunt as We would, we could
find only two persons-and those OUT
side the Government-who would ad-
nit doing it.
You see, once it were known definite
ly that Secretary So-and-SoS signature
is sometimes not his signature at all,
but John Smiths copy, it might make
trouble, particularly with Mr.. McCarl
and autograph collectors.
But all of the departments recognize
that they have forgers. In talking with
one official about the possibility OF
the Presidents having a legal forger,
we got his answer: II don't know.
Maybe he has and you can probably
make a good guess who 1t is, just as
you can guess who our forgers are"
However, the White House swears
that the President signs every piece
of paper that leaves there bearing his
signature, and, what's more, he has no
mechanical aids, such as multiple pens,
which sign five or ten letters at once,
to help him. He uses any old pen
he can reach, his Office staff says. And
in signing bills sometimes uses lots OF
them-about Is different pens to sign
the banking act and a dozen on social
security, so that he could give them as
souvenirs to the Senators and Con-
gressmen who had worked for the
legislation. He has given so many
pens away recently that he once
threatened to charge quarter each.
Since that threat, some have brought
their own pens with them.
THE only person in the United
= States, other than the Presi6snt,
authorized to sign his name is a lady
who bears the names Of two earlier
Presidents and is distantly related to
President Polk. Miss Louise Polk Will

eral Land Once, which has existed
since Andrew Jackson's time. Her job
is to sign the Presidents name to land
patents and grants.

into the set, thus adding two, or even
three, more lights than the original
eight with which the outfit was
equipped when the tree set was pur-
chased.
OF course, 1t is highly important
that all cuts made into the wiring
of tree sets, as well as all joints made
in the wires throughout the job, be
thoroughly taped, in order to prevent
short-circuitS and the possibility of
fire.
A MINIATURE village adds to the
charm of a Christmas tree plat
form. One plan used was to buy the
simple cardboard houses sold In the
10-cent stores, then with q rather
dull safety razor blade cut out OPEN
ings for the doors and windows. Over
these piece of waxed paper was
pasted. Then the house was straddled
over an electric-light bulb that was
placed on the floor and connected
to the series of miniature street lights.
Or the house lights could be put on
circuit by themselves. With this
latter wiring plan person could turn
of all the house lights, leaving only
the street lights burning. and thus
giving the village the effect of a very
small town, after bedtime.
There is practically no limit to the
number of effects that can be pro-
duced. This largely depends on the
originality and resourcefulness of the
person who Is making the platform.

the radiator and at the same time
made big hit with the boys, as the

Electric train tracks can be installed
on a platform, with the houses of the
village placed at whatever openings
present themselves. Usually a passen-
ger station, with possibly a freight
depot nearby, adds touch Of realism
to the railroad. especially If there are
switches, sidetracks, a semaphore, and,
of course, a railroad crossing. This, to
be sure, will be protected by a gate,

A BOUT this time of year many
~ a father is thinking Of some
~ plan for playing up the
a Christmas tree and its sur
Toundings--somethi that is different.
A Christmas tree platform adds
greatly to the enjoyment of the sea-
sons decorations, especially if there
are children in the home. Such a
platform is easily made with the. aid
of a few small tools. 1t can be just
as simple or as elaborate as the owner
desires.
Composition board makes one of
the best platforms, as it is easy to
handle, because of its light weight.
Then, too, it Is a very simple matter
to bore holes through this. An in
expensive gimlet is all that is neces-
sary. Through these holes the small
electric wires that run into the street
lights can be pulled. The use of door,
bell wire makes a neater job, be-
cause the wiring is out Of sight.
Usually the posts for the street
lights can be purchased in the 10
cent stores, although an ingenious
person can make them out of pieces
of brass curtain rods. Merely measure
off the height at which you want your
posts to stand, along your future
streets of the village" on the plat
form, then file a nick well into one
Ede, breaking it off at that point.
The posts should then be set in small,
homemade, wooden bases. Then the
inexpensive miniature electric sockets,
sucn as are used on all Christmas
tree lights, can be pulled through the
posts from above and the wires run
down below the platform.
Any small Christmas tree bulbs can
be used for these limitations of street
lights, although the new, bell-shaped
white bulbs look most natural. At
least eight wired posts should be con-
nected in series, the two extreme ends
being connected in plug. The whole
outfit is then ready to attach to any
convenient Dashboard outlet, or, with
an extension cord, to any ordinary
house socket.
II, instead of lights, or even 10,
are used. there will be more bright
spots on the platform for the same
amount of electricity used, and at
the same time there will be the ad-
vantage that the lights will be much
less likely to burn out, because they
are subjected to less pressure, or
voltage. This same statement applies
with equal truth to the use Of the
ordinary sets Of lights on the trees
indoors, and many persons save on
bulb replacement, as well as on the
number of sets required to illuminate
the entire tree, by resorting to this
