Skinny Bread Here to Stay,
 Bakers Decide

CHEYENNE, Wyo., May T. - Stubby and plump loaves would increase bread consumption, but the new "streamlined" bread loaf is here to stay--at least in Wyoming.
 That was the decision of Wyom- ing bakers who met here and de- cided there is too much public sen- timent for long, skinny loaves of bread to eliminate them.
 "The exclusive baking of stubby, plump loaves of bread. the old fash toned design, would increase bread consumption because when a man sits down to a meal he will eat so many slices of bread, regardless of the width and breadth of the slice' one baker explained.
 But there is more bread in one slice from the stubby. plump loaf. compared with a slice from the 1ongboy' or streamlined loaf

Frank Parrish Tells About Westinghouse Electric
 s. C. Products

Frank Parrish, Alaska representa- tive of the Westinghouse Electric Supply Company, with headquarters in Seattle, says:
 "A little over a year ago a group of home economists well-known authorities all-were invited by the Westinghouse Electric and Manu- featuring Company to tell what they felt should be done to improve the usefulness and econmy of the electric range
 Recently these specialists were pleased to learn their suggestions had been put into actual production A year ago a two-oven range was suggested; today it is reality. Why can't we have oven shelves that won't tip," asked others. The new ranges have lock-stop shelves that stay level, even when pulled out with full load. Small custard cups won't tip on these shelves. The bars are flat, closely-spaced. Electrically lighted ovens, air-cooled oven door handles, better design suggestion after suggestion was car ried out by Westinghouse engineers highly skilled in changing ideas into actualities.
 We want a surface unit that will give fast high heat, yet will have a secondary heat so low no burning or scorching can result" Here was suggestion to stimulate the imagination. The challenge was accepted; the Economies" speed unit is the answer This mar velous new unit has a high heat that brings food to boil fast. Then the switch is turned to low. The food continues to cook as fast as food can cook with only 1-10th the electricity formerly required. Care fully recorded tests show that with this new unit savings from 18 to 46 per cent can be made in electric cooking costs. And, burning and SCOICIllllS Ol lOOQS lS cllllliIlducQ Dy this lower than low heat
 When electrical manufacturer and customer can get together to produce more practical home ap- pliances, that's nsws.
 Modern electric appliances today are so reasonable in cost no home can really afford to be without them. Hundreds of dollars are spent for an automobile that stays with the family for three or four years. Yet the same amount invested in the proper equipment would com pletely electrify the kitchen and serve efficiently and economically for many times as long,
 Whether it be a modern electric range, a gleaming white refriger- ator, dish washer or the smallest of home appliances, the Westing- house line is complete, and they stand ready to serve through the Alaska Electric Light & Power Con- pany, all the people of the Gas tineau Channel"

HAWKING, China, May Where there is only one registered doctor for every 54,000 people, only one registered dentist for every 4,000, 900 needs a state medicine system if the country's health standards are to be raised.
 That is the contention of the na- tional health administration which wants the government to establish and subsidize medical centers so that the poor may have free treat |ment-with emphasis on the pre- Iventative side.
 pr. P. z King, head of the ad- ministration, sees no other solu- ton in view of the ignorance and low economic status of the masses.
 Most of the population, King declares, is entirely without medi- cal care because what doctors there are concentrate in the cities and cater to the rich.

Marshall Jacobs collected three hits
