U. s. Refuses To Take CunbOats
 Out of Harbor
(By The Associated P-ess)


 SHANGHAI, Aug. 19, U. s. authorities firmly rejected both Japanese and Chinese attempts to interfere with the movements of American naval and merchant crafts on the Whangpoo river, the avenue of escape for Americans and others seeking to flee the war zone.
 American officials indicated they would refuse to accept the Chinese governments notification for compliance, which would have meant the moving of the Cruiser Augusta, flagship of the U. s. Asiatic Fleet, out of Shang- ai harbor.

 Other foreign consuls are un- derstood to have made the same reply.

TOTAL ............S lS, OUU
 In all the computations of val ue the average selling prices for the year have been used rather than the prices actually received by the producers. Furthermore, the quantities mentioned in this statement relate to production and not to sales, shipments or some other perhaps equally signl- ficant basis by which the indust ry might be guaged.
 As is evident from the foregoing tables, the mining industry of the Territory enjoyed prosper ous year, for the value of the output of practically every min eral showed notable increase AS a result, the value of the min eral production from Alaska in l9- 36 was larger than for any other year since 1918. Prices for the various commodities were in gen eral higher than in the preceding year, but the great increase shown was due in the main to the much greater quantity of output from the Alaska mines. Although on the whole operating conditions were favorable there is nothing in the records of the past season that would indicate that this great production was a mere tempor-

Boxing Day Is Time for
Making Christmas Gifts

THE first weekday after Christ
l. mas, Boxing day, is legal and
bank holiday in England, Wales and
Northern Ireland but not in Scot
land. This is the day on which
Christmas boxes" or gifts are ex-
pected by, and given to, errand
boys, servants, letter carriers, etc.,
observes a writer in the Detroit
News.
The name Christmas box" is
often applied there to the ordinary
gift at this season of the year, apart
from this usage. References to the
apprentices box" and "butler's
box" as far back as the Sixteenth
century indicate that these gratui-
ties were at one time placed in an
earthenware box, which could be
opened on Boxing day only by
breaking it. 1t appears also that
the early church had alrns-boxes
which were opened only on that
date.
Chambers Book of Days states
that the institution Of Christmas
boxes" evidently is akin to that of
New Years gifts and, like it, has
descended from the times of the an
cient Romans who at the season of
the Saturnalia, practiced universal
ly the custom of giving and receiv-
ing presents.

Dressing Table Skirt With Corded shirrings

THIS dressing table has a
L curved front and hinged arms
on which to mount the skirt so
that it can be opened to permit
access to the drawer. To mount
the skirt it must first be sewed to
band of covered buckram. Cut
the buckram in a strip 21s inches
wide. Cover it with a straight
piece of material as shown here
at B.
Make the heading at the top of
the skirt just the depth of the
thickness of the table edge so that
it will cover the edge of the table
when the arms are closed. Use "a
inch cable cord for the shirring.
This is sewed to a safety pin and
run through tucks stitched in the
material as shown here at c.
The top of the ruffle is also
shirred with cords. When the shir.
rings are all finished, sew the top
of the skirt to the covered buck
ram strip as shown at D and then
thumb tack it in place as at A.

HOUSEHOLD
QUESTIONS

Salt and Pepper Shaker.-A
large shaker containing six parts
salt to one part pepper and kept
on the stove will save steps when
seasoning cooking foods.
Watch Your Step.-Painting the
bottom step of the cellar stairs
white makes it more conspicuous
and often helps to prevent acct
dents.
Sliding Dresser Drawers.-Rub-
bling a candle stub or wax along
the sliding edges of dresser
drawers will make them move in
and out much more easily, even
when heavily loaded.
Homemade Flower Holder.-If
you cannot buy a flower-holding
frog (the stand with holes pierced
in it to steady flowers in a vase)
to fit an oblong vase, a block of
parafin will serve the purpose
very we'll. Holes may be made
with a heated ice pick or some
other round instrument.
Lining a Coat.-When lining a
coat, put the coat on inside out.
Have the lining all ready stitched
up, and slip it over the coat. It
will fall into position naturally.
Pin it in place, and finish in the
usual way.
Drying Silk HOse.-Never hang
silk hose over the radiator or next
to any hot surface.
Preventing Rust in Oven.-After
using the oven, leave the oven door
wide open, to allow it to cool down
thoroughly. This allows all mois-
ture to escape and prevents rust.
