SEATTLE, March 29.-Conciliator Joseph Cheney today said that no progress has been made toward the settlement of the cannery dispute.
 The joint coordinating committee announced that every union in the maritime and fishing industry had pledged support to the fishermen's demands, including union ship, eight hour day and continuance of last years wages with the exception of a ten dollar a month increase which has been asked in few cases.
 In San Francisco the offer of the Pacific salmon packers to begin ne- gotiations with the unions promised a possible break in the deadlock which is threatening to tie up the industry. The packers offered the unions working conditions such as existed in 1886.
 Al Adolthson Assistant Secretary of the CIO Alaska Fishermen's Un- ion said:
 "They are asking US to return to work at less money than last year. The membership will never stand for such an agreement"
 The packers said the seasons catch would be passed up this year rather than meet the "unreason- able union demands. They said there were more than $500 men on their annual payroll and more than five million dollars was involved in the dispute.

DEPRESSION HELPED

Not in years has the army had trouble filling the ranks and the past and present depressions have piled up long waiting lists at the recruiting offices.
 As a matter of fact, the depres- sion has been somewhat of a bless ing to the army Many high class men enlisted who otherwise would have found better paying jobs in private industry.
 Regardless of the pressure of en- listment applications, the army has sought to make the life of the buck private a bit more attractive than in years gone by. In 1927 the ra- tions allowance was increased from about 36 cents a day to 50 cents a day. That sounds like relief allow ances but it provides better than average "choW" when men are fed in large numbers. Pie, ice cream, beef steak, chicken Occasionally and fruit are on the army rations list to augment harder and less expensive fare, such as potatoes and pork
 In 1884 an additional egg day per soldier was added and for sol diers on duty in Alaska 10 ounces

British Army Finding 1t Hard

By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, March 29.-Eng- land is having the devils own time keeping it's army up to strength and is offering fancy blue uniforms with red stripes down the pants to make soldering a little more popu- lar
 Even the Prime Minister took the matter in hand to the extent of urging in the House of Commons that no Englishman should consid- CT himself exempt from rightful public duty.
 Only recently we saw picture of a 15-year-old boy in Scottish military kilties being marched away to keep the far-flung empire intact.
 So narrowing is the tale that we went around to our own War De- partment to see if they were hav- ing trouble filling up the ranks. They are not. Oh, most decidedly they are not. Like old Mother Hub bard they have so many soldiers they don't know what to do
 Until two years ago the army was limited to 118,000 men, scarcely enough to keep the barracks win doWs clean and the horses curried. Now the army may have 165,O0O men but the trouble is that it re- gently climbed to 168,000. Within the next few months the total must be trimmed to 162,000 so there will be enough money to go around. That means 1000 or 5000 soldiers will not be permitted to re-enlist.

Best Champagne Is From

The term champagne. which

Champagnes are pale straw or
pink in color. The first runnings
from the press constitute the win

DRESSINGS go to form inferior quail
ties both of wine and brandy. From
the presses the must" flows direct
ly into reservoirs from which it is
drawn off into vatS After standing
for several hours, until it is COM
paratively clear, it is transferred
to casks in which it is stored until
fermentation takes place. At the
beginning of the following year, the
wine is, racked off and fined, when
it is ready for blending, that is,
combining various vintages until
the proper quality and flavor are OBJ
tanned. At this stage the wine is
also tested for sugar strength, for
its effervescence depends on the
amount of sugar contained in the
wine before secondary fermenta-
ton.
The possibility of rendering cham
pagne effervescent was discovered
accidentally by Dom Perignon, a
Benedictine monk, in the Seven
teenth century. If too much sugar
is added, too much gas will form,
with too great bottle breakage; too
little sugar will not give sufficient
sparkle. The blended wine then is
bottled and undergoes this second
process Of fermentation, which con-
verts the sugar into alcohol and car
bonic acid, causing effervescence.
In spite of the care which usually
is taken, the loss from bottle break
age usually is about 10 per cent.

tunities should be made by per-
manently functioning Inter-Racial
Committee that could carry on the
work the year around.

senting the University Y. W. C. A,
briefly sketched a tentative pro-
gram which would be practical in

cooperation in any proposed pro-
gram that she might undertake.
