Pickup Business Noted
 By Economists

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28, - Even the most pessimistic of the government economists seem to be agreeing that the bottom of the buSinsss slump was reached around the first of the year inso- far as the next few months are concerned
 A substantial business pickup in the spring is considered almost inevitable. These uptuns used to appear in the business activity curves each bring during the depression in Hoovers' administ- ration. The one now anticipated ought to be relatively large be- cause the current recession has been so sharp.
 But it is considerably more pro blematical just how many of the people thrown out of work sin ce August will ge back to work, and whethsr business and gov ernment will be able to keep the upturn going through the sum- mer and fall.
 The uncomfortable fact which no one can dodge is that MT.
 A widely-followed general bus mess index reached depression low of 65 points, climbed to a high mark of III in August and then was back down to a bit above 78 at the close of the year.
 How much of that 70 per cent of lost ground is about to be re- gained? What will be the net in- crease in the unemployed army and the relief problem next fall? The most likely answer to these and many other questions will be found in the certainty that Roosevelt will try to do whatev- CT he thinks necessary to put business on the upgrade.
 Current bright spots in the bus iness picture include conspicuous ly the fact that inventoriss are being eaten up in certain import ant commodities such as steel, cotton textiles, clothing and the ever-needed shoes.

Mask Ball Was Huge Success In
 Every Manner

The Mask Ball given Saturday night by the Odd Fellows Build ing Association, was the first real masque ball held in Nome since the fire of 1884, which destroyed all of Nome's lodge hall as we'll as public halls, was grand sue cess, both socially and financial ly, and one more proves the fact that the people of Nome really do wish to maintain a public hall.
 Owing to the fact that this hall has no balcony for spectators, the committee wisely decided to heat an adjoining room, where those who did not care to dance, could enjoy themselves by play ing cards for prizes also. this fea- ture of the dance was much en- joyed and the following were awarded prizes, as winners of progressive whist: Mrs. Harry Hagen for the ladies was award ed first prize, a picture, donated by the Arctic Shop.

Army Air!Corps Wants Pilots Of
 Alaska to Join

The United States Army Air Corps is looking for airplane pill ots in Alaska.
 Keeping pace with an expand ing national defense plane for all branches of the service, the Army Air Corps has raised the mini mum age limit for appointment in the reserve to 35 years.
 This information is contain ed in war department letter re- ceived in Anchorage recently by Lieut.. A. E. Horning, Air Corps Reserve, from the Commanding General of the Ninth Corps Area, Major General SimondS. The let ter says in part:
 Age Limit Raised
 "The minimum age limit pre- scribed for initial appointment in the lowest grade in the Air Corps Reserve, is raised tempor- arily to 35 years in order that the minimum mobilization re- quirements in Air Corps Reserve officers may be met"
 High army officials have long been aware that the experience and knowledge gained by flask an pilots in sub-Arctic flight op- erations will be of great value when the time comes for the es- tablShment of permanent army air base in Alaska.
 Training Plan
 With the personnel, equipment and facilities which will be made available by the air base, it will be possible to formulate a plan of military flight and ground training fir Alaskan reserve off CTS which will serve two purpos- es. First, it will allow the army officials to systematically apply the experience and knowledge of Alaskan pilots ot army opera tions. Secondly, they will be able to train the Alaskan reserve of fcers in the military phases of aviation at first hand.
 Applications
 Air Corps officials are anxious to receive applications from inter ested pilots in Alaska in order that the reserve organization may be as complete as possible by the time that the air base in esta- blished."
 Lieutenant Horning has been supplied with forms for applca- tions and physical examinations and will be glad to furnish them to any pilots who may be inter ested.

sign was revised to save as many Of

HOUSEHOLD HINTS
TIPS ON CAKE MAKING

L IF your cakes have been cracking
across the top, your oven has been too
hot at the start. The average heat should
be 325 degrees for the first Is minutes .
end $50 degrees for the rest Of the
time. In short, when you put your cake in
O very hot oven, the heat quickly bakes
g st over the top, and then whom the in
torior Of the cake begins to bake the
steam enorated inside cracks the top open
so that it can escape.
(2) Before you add your chocolate
mixture to the sugar, butter and eg5s,
add half cup Of flour. Otherwi sc
your mixtures may curdlo.
