Up to the States

Through Harry Hopkins, chief of the WPA, the Federal government served notice the other day that it had done it's share, and the rest was up to the states.
 Those states have the money. said Hopkins, T know of no citi- zen in Ohio or Illinois who thinks the Federal government has not done its part"
 Said Aubrey Williams, Hopkins assistant: We take the position that any further expansion of WPA relief in two rich states like Ohio and Illinois would mean the Federal government would be giv- ing direct relief to the destitute instead of creating jobs in a work relief program. If we give in out there, every other state woule have plenty of grounds to demand the same thing. That would be the end of work relief, and the ex- haustion of the funds Congress ap- propriated for work relief"
 So Ohio and Illinois called ex- traordinary sessions of their legis- latures to repair the state relief ma chinery.

Talk on Meats
 Given, CIementS

Meat and Market Inspection" was the title of the broadcast given by E. r. Clements of the Territorial Health Office on the program of the Juneau Woman's Club, Tuesday afternoon at o'clock
 Meats, stated MT. Clements, are one of our most important foods, as they supply the body with protein and fats.
 When we consider the very large consumption of meats in this coun- try, the average per capita con- sumption of beef and veal for 1881 being 56.5 pounds and of pork a much larger quantity. it becomes evident that cleanliness is an abso- lute essential" said MT. Clements.
 Diseases caused by impure meats include tuberculosis anthrax, beef tape-worn and trichinosis, caused by pork
 The larvae which produce these diseases are very small even micro scopic, and so their detection is dif- ficult. Our only protection is rigid meat inspection and thorough cook ing. The inspection at the slaughter houses is very rigid and is done by veterinary doctors
 Tn the meat markets throughout 1 the States the inspection is usually made by government inspectors, where the hides and visira are thoroughly examined. also all ma- chinery which handles meats. Tests are made of all employees to make sure that they are not carriers of i disease.
 We can consider ourselves for tunate in Alaska that all meats shipped to Alaska are government tested Nevertheless. all persons are warned not to eat pork, incluring sausages and all other products of pork, without thorough cooking"

Where Need Is Greatest

During a depression, the need usually is greatest in the nations middlf western work shop where many steel, building and automo- bile industries are located. The area is bounded roughly on the east and west by Pittsburgh and Des Moines, and on the north and south by Chi cago and Cincinnati
 Tn that area, big industries feel that they can't merely slow down to an easy stop when they see a depression coming. They have 10 slam on the brakes to avoid a dis astrous drain on their payrolls.
 Suddenly many thousands of workers lose their jobs, and begin living on unemployment insurance, savings and credit That usually lasts from a week to two or three months. Then the jobless turn to the relief rolls.
 That's the picture in the Middle West now especially in such cities as Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit and Toledo.
 The hoppsrs of the Federal relief machine were enlarged early this year to take more and more relief cases. In Chicago, the rolls were stepped up from 5O,000 to 10000; in Cleveland from 10000 to 70.O00 In other words, WPA created 120.- 900 more jobs in a few months in those two cities alone.
 But, after a while, city and state stalled. There were more people eligible for direct relief fin- anced by states, counties. cities) than the machinery could stand Hence, jobless parades and minor riots.

NINA CRUMRINE VISITING HERE
 WITH DAUGHTER
Popular Alaskan Artist to Paint Last of Ma
 tive Faces

1 The age scanned features of Mag gie Ka- -dun-a-ha, wife of an old Sitka Indian chief, caught by the facile brush of Nina Crumrine, well known Alaskan artist, stand out in bold contrast to gaudy ceremonial robes and tell tale of long years that will come no more.
 That painting in oils is one of Nina Crumrines best.
 Nina Crumrine and her daughter Josephine an artist in her own right. arrived in Juneau last night on the Tongass, bound for Yukon Territory and trip down the Yukon to record in sketch the fast dying faces of yesterdays natives whose ranks each year are thinning more rapidly.
 In their room at the Gastineau Hotel this afternoon, mother and daughter smiled as they recalled experiences of their several years companionship in out of the way places, seeking to complete a port folio Of Indian portraiture.
 In the past few years, four of the Indian greats whom Nina Crumrine put on canvas, have gone on to hunting grounds beyond Chief Johnson, of Ketchikan, who recently died, is included in that collection
 Mrs. CTumrine told of how Chief Johnson and his wife were sleeping in their collins several years ago, waiting for the end. and of how the two elderly natives would come begrudgihgly out of their burial caskets and semi-sleep to be painted.
 Something of remorse is seen in Nina Crumrine's catch" of Chief Johnsons eye expression.
 Daughter Josephine finds it fun" to go with her mother in seek of new Indian features, but her ambition is ito paint movie actresses"
 A third party with Mrs. Crum- rine and daughter, is "Chilkat,' q drowsy and fat cat, which the Clumrines brought from Chilkoot Barracks at Haines last summer, from which headquarters they painted Klukwan natives who could only be encouraged to bring out ceremonial robes with the persua- sion of uniformed Army men.
 We like it." Nina Crumrine smiled.
 And Alaska likes her portraits and her panoramas.

Where Guillotine Serves
in Decapitating Poultry

Arcaded streets, medieval foun-
tains, gates and towers, plus loca-
ton in peninsula above the river
Aare, with the Alps glistening in the
distance, combine to make the Swiss
capital into a picture town. Berne
was founded by Duke Berthold V
of Zahringen In 1871 A. D., and al
though it is government headquar-
ters, meeting place of diplomats and
a modern intellectual center, it
guards its ancient traditions and
landmarks with jealous pride,
writes correspondent in the New
York orld-Telegram.
Market days have retained their
old-time Importance and prove an
opportunity for citizens and peasants
to meet regularly on a friendly
basis. Reminiscent of the era when
Berne's prestige depended much on
the aristocracy who lived within its
walls, such as the Won Erlach, Won
Diesbach, Won Frisching and Won
Wattenwyl families, is the Junkern-
gasse, street of the patricians,
whose old-fashioned yet distin-
guished residences command in
front a far-sweeping view of the
winding Aare and the regal Alps.
At the entrance to the thorough
fare rises the noble Gothic cathe-
dral of St. Vincent, and in it's very
shadow, on Tuesdays and Fridays,
convenes the poultry market. Shrill
protests and cries are heard quite
often while this mart is in session,
and they emanate from an object of
horror-a small-sized but efficiently
functioning guillotine, with an exc
cutioner in crimson cap in attend
ance. Here chickens have to give up
their lives for Bernese dinners.

Tableware of Wood Was
Used bv Our Ancesto

The history of tableware begins
with the humble dishes of wood that
graced the boards of our ancestors.
AS early as 1929, observes a writer
in the Los Angeles Times, when the
secretary Of the Massachusetts col
ony was making out list of things
''to send for New England" by the
returning ships, there was included
various household utensils of wood,
platters, trenchers and spoons. Dur
ing the early period Of settlement,
when economy was not only neces-l
sity but practice, wooden dishes,
like the clothes Of homespun, were
in common use for many years.
The settlers in the "Old Dominion"
brought with them or sent for, much
pewter and fine linen, but the early
New Englanders, in most cases
came over empty-handed. They had
no silverware and very little pew
ter. Their influence was expended
in establishing enduring homes In
which plain living and simple
tastes were practiced.
From the outset the Puritans be-
gan making use of the materials at
hand. Wood was plentiful in the
forests surrounding them, and was
used not only for the making of
household utensils, but for many Of
their farm implements as well.
Woodturning grew into recognized
industry, and many and varied were
the items fashioned. Plows, har-,
rows, cartwheels, barrels, sled rum
ners, hay forks and buckets for the
out-of-doors; bread bowls, porrin-,
gers, trays, dishes, butter molds,
knife boxes, spoon racks, plates and
platters for household use.

emergency telephone and teletype
equipment, which provided the main
communications link for the various
units participating in the air maneu-
vers. Within one month from the re-
ceipt of the Army's order, which in
cluded forty-five sending and receiving
teletypewriters, the system was in
stalled and tested out; about one week
later it was in actual service. Due to
their close proximity to the Army's
radio stations, each teletypewriter had
to be completely filtered to prevent any
interference with the radio signals.
According to Col. Lewis the teletype-
writer system handled an average of
10000 words a day and on one day
he estimated that it handled 10000
words.
While the results of every phase of
the maneuvers will be subjected to a
minute scrutiny by the Army high
command before any conclusions are
arrived at, it is understood that the
teletypewriters proved extremely ade-
quate as vehicles of communication
no small accomplishment where they
had to keep up with the operations of
planes that hit speeds Of more than
250 miles per hour.

Strange Greetings Are
Used in Other Countries

When we meet a friend we say
GLOW do you do?" or "How are
your" In other countries there are
different kinds of greetings, some
of which sound very strange, OBJ
serves writer in the Montreal
Herald.
In some parts of India the greet
ing is praise God, is your nose
fat?" to which the reply is "Thank
God, my nose is fat" After this
the questioner says, "Then, may
you live thousand years."
In Persia when a person meets a
friend he says, "May your shadow
never grow less" In Egypt people
say, Elbow do you perspire?" The
Chinese and Japanese remark is,
elbow is your stomach? Have you
eaten your rice?"
Russian people inquire Elbow do
you live?"; in Poland the question
is elbow do you keep yourself?"
French folk politely ask, Elbow do
you carry yourself?" While in Hol-
land a correct greeting would be,
elbow do you fare?" When the Ital-
ians meet they say, "How do you
stand?"

The Air Force of the United States
Army recently conducted extensive
war game maneuvers for seven days
along the Atlantic seacoast from
Maine to Georgia, with Mitchell Field,

uisiana. These planes were laden with
more than 5000 men and three mil
lion pounds of baggage and the spec
tacular maneuvers employed the most
modern equipment and the latest in
aerial operations. In all. some 220
planes of many types participated.

Battleship Drenched With Blood

The deck Of the Lawrence, Oliver
H. Perry's ship in the battle of Lake
Erie, was so bloody that sand had
to be sprinkled on the wood so the
fighters still alive could stand.
Eighty-three men on the ship fell
from the bullet fire of the British
vessels. Surrounded by six enemy
ships, the Lawrence was battered
until it tipped to one side. Her rig
ging and spars were shattered and
her sails were down. When it looked
as though Perry must surrender, he
and his small brother and four sea-
men dropped into a rowboat and
started under cover of gunsmoke for
the Niagara. Before they reached
the other ship, the British spotted
the little bdat and began pounding
it with bullets. None of the men
was hit, but one bullet went through
the side of the rowboat, causing
a leak. To save the boat from filing
with water and sinking Perry took
off his coat and stuffed It into the
hole. The men reached the Niagara
safely.

Agricultural DEVELOPMENT

From prehistoric times rudiments
Of the science of agriculture-of cul-
tivating the soil for the purpose of
obtaining food-have been known to
man. In ancient Egyptian tombs
sealed shut 5000 years ago have
been found grains Of a cultivated
type Of wheat; upon the walls of
these tombs are portrayed date trees
and the Egyptian farmer afield with
crude pillow and harrow. Early Chi
nese history indicates an advanced
agricultural system, notes a writer
in the Chicago Tribune. The Greeks
used fertilizers on their lands and
knew the value of allowing a field
to lie fa1low. The early Roman
was adept at two arts-war and
farming. The first American col
onists learned agricultural methods
adapted to the new world from the
Indians, first farmers Of America.
Throughout the history Of colonial
ton and expansion westward, be-
hind the scouts and restless pioneers
always have come the hordes Of
land-eager settlers, ready to con-.
vert the wilderness into farmland. i,

Once Paid With Pepper

English traders once were re-
quired to pay their taxes to the city
in pepper. Certain landlords de-
manded one pound Of pepper as
rent from their tenants. One Of
the most famous English guilds was
that of the pepperers, established
in the Twelfth century.
Records 60 back even further as
we find that the Goths demanded
5000 pounds of pepper as part of
the ransom of Rome, after its cap
ture in the Fifth century, notes a
writer in the Kansas City Star.
Most black and white pepper
comes from the Dutch East Indies
and from India. The pepper ber-
ries are gathered when they begin
to turn red and are dried in the
sun or near slow fire. The whole
berries are ground to produce the
spice known as black pepper, while
the other shells are removed in the
preparation of the white spice.
Red peppers, of which there are
number of varieties, such as
cayenne, tabasco and paprika, are
made from the powdered ripe pods
of the capsitum plant, which differ
greatly in pungency. Of these pap
rika, which generally comes from
Hungary and Spain, is particularly
mild, the first having the more
distinctive flavor. Powdered pepper
generally is used in this country.
