 By radio he asked the state de- partment in Washington to have the British send them "a Lew;s gun and a few Sikhs"-Indian fighting troops who compose the British legation guard.

Skill Needed to Handle
Hotel Guests or Planes,
Says Pilot Floyd Ada1ps

IT took lot of suitcase carrying, and no end of
ice water Juggling to pay for Floyd Adams first
flying lessons - but the struggle was worth the
reward, for Adams today can hop wherever ne
pleases in his own plane.
They called him the Flying Bell Hop then.
Now he's the Flying Bell Captain!'-up several
notches in his business. And in between several
not too profitable ventures into the field OF COM
mercia flying Adams returned to the more pro-
sale work of hopping bells
More prosaic? Well, not from Adams point OF
view. Planes and people are sometimes pretty hard
to handle, he says, and to keep hotel guests IN
good humor is apt to call for much skill as set
ting his ship down in tight spot.
He has his own plane, yes, but it's strictly for
pleasure flying. And whenever he takes off, Bud,
handsome eight-year-old Alaskan huskle, rides the
front cockpit.
When Adams first learned to fly, it fool
hardy business There were no rules, regula-
tions. 'In those days while one was in the air, he
was always waiting for the engine to quit" he
said "Now with rigid flying rules, aviation is safer
than crossing the street"
Adams has more aerial ambitions but to own
and enjoy the plane with his co-plot Bad"
Bud has had some 200-odd hours in the air
enough really, to qualify him for pilots license,
if the Department of Commerce had provided for
canine aviators!
IT wasn't long ago that Adams received the offer

bell captain, in less high-sounding terminology-
in San Francisco's Cliff Hotel He was then in Des

Into the trim Waco went Adams baggage and
Bud and presently the ship was on it's way to the
Alameda airport. He landed after II hours flying

States-the most extensive that the world has ever
seen, were slowly fading Great cities had been
built, homes erected and community life estab-
lished.
The frontier with its mighty westward migra-

steadily lessening, the lumber baron saw great
piles of freshly cut timber pile higher and higher

Infant America had suddenly grown up The
West had moved from tents into fine homes. And
demand for lumber decreased, competition

toward lumber substitutes and, to save his empire
the lumber baron turned to foreign markets

point out is that new uses daily being found
for lumber There is a real opportunity for the
young man who is well trained in chemistry,

merely as lumber, now goes into the making of

sugar from trees-the same variety of trees which
abound III our Northwest forests And it is sugar
which has the same food qualities, the same in

day may come when sugar factories will loom

wine IN THE KITCHEN
BY MARJORIE GLASS
Home Economist, Roma Wine Co.
FISH WITHOUT WINE, LIKE
EGGS WITHOUT SALT


The French and Italians, very
discerning group of eaters, are fond
of fish. Maybe that's because they
know of so many ways of preparing
it, and usually their preparation
calls for dash of wine, along with
herbs, onions, oil or butter. In fact,
Escoffier, the great French chef,
said that fish without wine was like
an egg without salt!
Wine was introduced in France
into the cooking of fish by Vatel,
that famous chef immortalized by
Nine. de Sevigne, who served as
Chef to the Grande Conde. And
Vatel regarded his cooking as such
high calling, that one day when
the fish arrived late for a dinner he
was preparing in honor of a royal
guest Louis XIV, he stabbed him
self
More people would eat fish if it
were properly and more appetizing-
ly prepared, instead of the usual
flat tasting" dish it usually turns
out to be. Fish is one of the i'm
portant foods, being rich in protein
and mineral content, and can be
used interchangeably with meat. It's
lots easier on the pocketbook, too,
than meat.
Fish may be served boiled, baked,
fried or broiled. Let's consider the
first method, boiling:
The French use a fish stock, or
court bouillon" as they term it, to
boil fish. This is boiled liquid
made up of herbs, vegetables and
fish head and tails, with two parts
water to one of wine, and is already
well seasoned when the fish is sub
merged in it. This improves the
flavor of the fish during cooking,
and the mild fruit acidity of the
wine helps to keep the flesh of the
fish firm and white.
In boiling or poaching fish, use
only enough liquid to cover it, as
too much liquid weakens the fla
vor. Fish wrapped in cheese-cloth
will retain its shape better, and also
will not tend to discolor

Profit Business Objects

Anxious to own their own gasoline
station, the cooperators at first de-
cided to lease a lot and erect the
required building on it. AS more
and more of the pledges were col
lected and private gas station oper-
ators realized that the non-profit
group really meant business, those
already in the field brought pres
sure upon the city council to refuse
the necessary license.
The opposition was successful in
its attempt to block the building of
a new station, but the cooperators
avoided the obstacle by leasing a
station on one of Racine's main
traffic arteries. The former oper-
ator, whose profits were not very
great and who became more synpa-
thetic to cooperation the more he
heard about it, was glad enough to
take the job of station captain with
an assured salary.
Herbert Katt, the leader who had
brought back the inspiration from
another cooperative association, was
selected as manager. With years of
experience in the auto repair bust
ness, he undertook the application of
the broad social ideals of cooperation
to the gas station business on Feb
ruary /, 1885.

only about $1,50000, the new enter
prise did a business of $38, ,44741 in
