Brrr! Mercury Here Sips 10 Four Above

A whistling Taku wind kept Ju- neau's temperature in cold storage all day today, with the reading hov- ering between four and five degrees above zero. At g o'clock this morn ing the temperature was four de- grees. coldest since February, 1898, when three above was recorded on the 7th of the month. Even late in the afternoon, despite the efforts of a bright sun, the temperature was only five degrees above.
 The cold weather closed Juneau's WPA projects, workers finding it impossible to grade streets and build walls in the frigid wind.
 Wind velocity reached maximum lof 24 miles an hour at 9.22 o'clock in the morning, although an extreme gust of 26 miles was recorded for very brief period. The wind came straight out of the North.
 At Fairbanks today the tempera- ture was reported 51 degrees below zero.

EpICURES WILL
 PAY IN JUNEAU
 FOR F00DsTUFF5
Items Shipped During Strike on Norah Subject
 10 Customs Tax

Unless the American steamers start operating in the very near future, Juneau residents who want to live on the fat of the land will have to pay for the privilege of doing so.
 Main item on the haven't got" list of local grocers is butter. House wives exhausted the local stock Sat- urday afternoon in a heavy buying spree, stocking against the even- tuality of short stocks until the strike is setteld. Only source for the commodity in Juneau must come from the Outside as no creameries here manufacture butter.
 Eggs are also on the wanted list. Although a few are produced by local poultry raisers the supply is almost 100 per cent inadequate for city demand.
 Stocks of greens and meat are running low and it is estimated that few days will see the finish of these essentials Canned goods are in plenty.
 A few retail merchants of the city are shipping some produce to Ju- neau via the Princess Norah. All foods that come ill on this craft are of Canadian origin and subject to import tax.
 Assessment on butter collected by the United States Customs is IA cents pound, eggs 10 cents per dozen, potatoes 75 cents per hun dred pounds. Greens, such as let tuce, squash, celery, are taxed 2 cents per pounds, levy against toma- toes is 3 cents per pound.
 Meat eaters will pay cover charge of cents pound for eating beef, 2l2 cents for fresh pork and 3A cents for smoked pork. Mutton is 5 cents extra and lamb cents.
 According to law, if any foods come in here on the Princess boat they must come from Canada, as Section 27 of the Merchant Marine Act states that no foreign boat may transport commodities from one United States port to another, either directly or via foreign port, thus eliminating the possibility of the Norah bringing foodstuffs here from | Seattle.

 NEW YORK-The dictatorships are going to be mighty sorry-come the next war--for the way they've treated artists. That's the theory of Abraham Rather, tousle-haired American artist and camouflage ex- pert, whose paintings are on exhibi- ton in New York
 Why? Because it's the modern artist, condemned by the totalitarian state as degenerate, who will bring his imagination and flexibility to problems of camouflage, the way the Cubists did in the World War
 Rather explains:
 "The modern artists uses color as color and form as form, regardless of the object he is painting The aca- demic artist of the totalaitrian state must paint just what he sees. He paints nice healthy, juicy mother with half a dozen kidds- propagan- da He is too restricted to be equal to the emergencies of camouflage
 Rather Illustrates
 Rather whisked out a sketch book to illustrate few principles of cam ouflage, learned from his experience in the Toule sector and at Chateaux Thierry.
 This is a gun in an open field, '' He sketched gun and then scrat- ched in the sun with three attenua- tied rays. "Camouflage has to fool the camera as well as the eye. When the gun position is concealed by a solid covering it throws a shadow like this in the morning--and like with half dozen kids-propagan- from an enemy aeroplane show the two shadows, and give away the gun position"
 Covering the gun with chicken wire and tying on strips of burlap painted various earth colors solved the problem by producing an irreg- ular shadow which looked like shrub bery from the air.
 Rather thinks modern advances in observation facilities, such as the telescopic Tense and color photo graphy, will make the color man much more important in the next war.
 Can Look Too Real | The aerial camera takes a picture under pressure-like a candid shot rather than posed studio portrait. For that reason a faithful repre- sentation of tree (Which might be the approach of an academic artisD would look less real than something that gives the impression of a tree.
 Reality can not be repeated, " Rather goes on. If thing IS real istic, it looks distorted, so it has to be distorted to look real"
 Rattner's oil paintings, described in the catalog of his exhibition as showing "a boundless Nature affec- tionately multiplied in time and space by a desperate tenderness, bear out his theories. Abounding in curves and angles, and overflow ing with salmon pink and pea green the paintings demonstrate the use of 'color as color and form as form regardless of the object"

would have had with any crop.

The Dahmes family worked

imported laborers. Most of this
work isn't particularly hard, ac-
cording to Mr.. Beran, and the
wage is fair. He believes the I'M

partly solved by employing local
persons.
Besides paying a bonus for use
of fields for beets, Washington
keeps finger on the project. The
government as well as the COM
pany limits the number of acres
which may be signed up, and in
Sists that the exact amount sign
ed for is planted.
A tax of SO cents per 100
pounds of sugar, cane and beet
alike. pays the beet subsidy and
the government makes a nifty
profit on it since five times more
cane than beet sugar is used, ac-

Expansion of the industry
would have been much more. ex-
