Rhubarb
 Custard Pie

Here's a new dessert to add a touch of springtime to the menu Rhubarb custard pie! It's as pretty to look at (the filling is in two layers) as 1t is good to cot. This unusual pie is really very simple to prepare-the novel layer effect re- suits with the baking. Rosy-red stalks of rhubarb, slender and tart, are sliced thin and folded into the rich custard mixture. As the pie hakes, the luscious juice cooks out and the rhubarb rises to form delicate pink layer on top of the custard. The fluffy meringue is the final frill on this captivating pie!
 Rhubarb Custard Pie
 3-4 cup sugar
 1-8 tsp salt
 3 egg yolks and
 whole egg
 2-3 cups irradiated evapo-
 rated milk
 1 1-3 cups sliced rhubarb
 1-2 tsp vanilla
 Add sugar and salt to beaten eggs. Add milk, rhubarb and vanilla and pour into an unbaked pie shell. Bake in hot oven (450 degrees Fo for 20 minutes, then reduce to moderate oven (350 degrees F.) and bake 20 minutes longer. Cover with meringue, made with the re- maining 2 egg whites and 1-4 cup sugar, and brown in slow oven (300 F).
 Rhubarb custard pie is not only delicious but very wholesome. It IS made with a whole tall can of ir- radiated evaporated milk, which is nearly the equivalent of 8 quart of whole milk plus an extra supply of the important sunshine" vitamin D. Think how easy it is to serve the family part of the needed milk quota in a slice of rhubarb cus- tard pie.

The graphs and charts that rep
resent your sneezes, chills, aches
and fevers are near the peak, as
usual between January and April
And the experts are watching the
curves, locking for clues that may
, one day solve one of the greatest
mysteries of medical science-in-

is the No. enemy Of public health
even though it doesn't take as many
lives as heart disease.
1t robs the world annually of mill
lions of hours of working time and
comfort. presenting staggering &C.

Medical science is frankly baf-
fled. The experts can't put Their
fingers on much information that
makes rhyme or reason. The best
they can do right now is to tell
you there is no nationwide cpl
demic of influenza this year, and
there is not likely to be, because the
worst season is passing and the
curve recently has been around the
3,000-case mark for the nation. Ten

new G0LDSTEIN
BUILDING WILL
BREAK SKYLINE
Announcement Is Ma d e
Structure 10 Be Begun
by May First

A new building of reinforced con-
crete and steel will rise again on the
site of the flame RACED Goldstein
Building. it was revealed today by
Charles Goldstein.
Goldstein said plans are indef-
mite as to size of the structure, but
said A. w. Quist, contractor will have
several sets of plans drawn up, from
which will be chosen the structure
to be erected.
Quist is leaving for Seattle to-
morrow night on the Yukon and will
have the plans for the new building
prepared Immediately Goldstein
said he hoped to have the new con-
struction work begun by the first OF
May.
The only thing definite about
the new building Goldstein said, Is
that space will be provided for a
bigger and better" fur store.
Meanwhile, workmen are carry
ing out debris from the basement
of the ruins and cleaning up for the
new work
Source of the quarter million dol
lar fire that consumed the build
ing, is still unknown.
The mattress that was supposed
to have been placed, smoldering, in
the basement of the building and
was blamed for the starting of the
fire. was found two days ago in the
debris, only. slightly scorched, dis
pelling any supposition that it was
the cause of the fire.

Coast Guard Cutter Brings
Grim Cargo TO Port
Last Night
DIED INSTANTLY.
INQUEST DECIDES
Plane Apparently Spun in
Evidence of Ter
rifle Impact

The bodies of the six persons
aboard the Inflated Cope seaplane
were brought to Juneau last night
on the Coast Guard cutter Haida
after grim work of nearly fifty
Coast Guardsmen and civilians had
extricated the bodies from the
snow-covered wreckage in TT e
woods Of Glass Peninsula.
Landing parties with stretchers
and metal shears were put ashore
at 5 o'clock yesterday evening and
after an hour and half of work,
all bodies had been taken from the
wreckage and taken to the cutter
standing by off-shore.
- instant Death
All aboard the plane had very
evidently met death instantly, their
bodies frozen in the positions in
which they were when the plane
struck, apparently having sprun di-
rectly in, striking nose-on.
Pilot Lon Cope's radio micro
phone was frozen to his mouth and
his earphones were on his head,
indicating that the veteran airman
had attempted to send out last
desperate call to the world inform
ing it of the planes certain crash.
Bodies Together
All passengers were in their seats
within a space about six feet by
four feet, but the shambles of
twisted metal and safety belts
forced workmen to tedious minutes
of work to take the hard-frozen
bodies out.
Watches stopped
Wrist watches were stopped at
I3:l9 Ketchikan time, indicating that
Cope's last message, received here
at 2.16, Juneau time, came only
two or three minutes before the
fatal plunge.
Cope had merely said, Passing
Grand Island-heavy Taku wind"
Icing conditions were noted in
the area at the time as a bitter
cold 62-mile-an- hour wind howled
down out of Taku Inlet, and it is
believed that the plane had iced
down, the controls had frozen and
the ship had spun in, probably from
lofty height.
1t was believed Cope had been
flying at about 1000 or 5000 feet,
and the nature of the wreckage
bears out the supposition.
Engine Buried
The engine is buried deeply in
the earth of a shallow depression,
wings are smashed and standing
on edge, while the tail of the fuse
lage broke loose.

SPEED MUST BE SHOWN BY
UNITED States, BUILDING
SPECIAL FIGHTING PLANES
BY PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, March 18.-rFacts
and figures about our new defense
armament program what direction
it may take, what developments af-
feet it, and time lag and costs, are
coming more and more to light as
Congress digs deeper.
Here are some:
Of the 1000 or more fighting
and bombing planes we now have,
less than 900 are classed as late
model effectives. The rest already
are Observation-Disclosures.
It will take close to two years to
get delivery on an appreciate num-
Der of the 5000 or more new fight
ing craft ordered, although deliv-
cries of some can begin almost at
once, as the factories are already
under contract for certain types.
Full capacity of American fac
tories is about $4,000 planes a year.
With unlimited funds to buy the
output of all factories, $500 could
be delivered to the Army the first
year, 1000 or 5000 the second year,
and the full $4,000 production the
third year.
From General Arnold, Chief Of
the Army Air Corps.
THE pursuit plane has the
shortest life of any plane due to
the almost constant improvements
in performance. The 300 mile
plane of yesterday is almost obso-
lete today We believe as result
of changes in design, methods of
construction and materials that
from now on until the next few
years the life of the pursuit plane
will not be much more than two
years, four years at the maximum.
The bomber plane has life of
from four to six years. maybe as
much as eight years. The life of the
observation plane is about eight
years"
