LORDING IT OVER
FEDERAL CORRIDOR

The Territorial museums magnl-
ficent new Tonzona moose still STOOD
forlornly in the first floor corridor
of the Federal Building today. Gus

Tonight the moose herders will
have another try at boosting the
specimen up the stairway.

(hena Slough Is
Showing Signs
Of Breaking

When the ice will go out in the
Interior, is something that has a
lot of Alaskans puzzled every year.
Reports to the Weather Bureau
from Fairbanks today, however,
presage an early breakup, with the
Chena Slough at Fairbanks, in
broken condition.
One large lead has been noted
above town, another smaller one
below, and numerous fractures else
where.
There is no snow on the ground

The motorship Jakobi is berthed
at the Upper City Float today after
being towed in from Point Hilda on
the west shore of Douglas Island.
Captain Tom S mi t h drifted
ashore while seeking the source OF
engine trouble he had been expert
encing, going on the beach at an
unusually high stage of tide.
He was aground for several days
before noticed by passing gasboats,
and had been unable to float his
craft on succeeding tides.
Henry Museth, of the Dupoco,
went to Smiths aid and blasted

the Yakobi to Juneau yesterday.

Does the sweet potato haze good
nutrltaUe qualities?
Yes. It's starch has many prop
critics that make it valuable in in
dustry as well as in dietetics, par
ticularly cooking.
All starches have two portions,
one water-soluble and one water
lnsoluble-Alpha and Beta Amy
lose. When a starch solution is
heated, it thickens with turbulent
splashing and foaming up to a GER
tain point until constant body or
viscosity is reached.
The sweet potato has lots of Beta
Amylose and gelatinizes at lower
temperatures than other CONNER
cial starches. For this reason it car
be used in sizing textile fbers. In
cooking, sweet potato starch added
to batter in all types of cakes gives
uniformity of texture free from
gas holes. In cake icing, sweet ro-
tato starch retards checking.

Ii AS is well known, rabies may not
appear until some time after the
bite. The shortest period noted in

Buster is 4, but, as his name i'm
plies, he is big boy for his age
and place in life. He is bigger and
stronger than the boys of his age.
He is boss on the playground. He
must have first choice of toys. first
choice of the game to be played and
of the best place. In spite of this
| the children seem to want to play
with him, though there is often a
battle before the end of the game.
The other day little Rusty beat
Buster at jumping rope three times
straight. Rusty jumped oftener,
faster and held out longer as to
breath than Buster did and was the
winner by loud acclaim. Buster lost
his head and yelled, I'll fix you. I'll
shoot you. III poke your eyes out"
and pitched headforemost into the
unsuspecting Rusty.
Rusty Wiggled out from under and
pounced upon Buster, who was
breathless after the game and the
attack, and hadn't much resistance
left. With renewed and inspired
energy he pushed Buster to earth
and sat on him, yelling, "Holler
nuff, holler huff or I'll paste you one
in the eye" Buster uttered muffied
sound that satisfied Rusty and the
battle ended. The gang cheered
Rusty and went home for supper.
Whats the matter, Buster?"
Rusty hit me- You wait. When
I grow up I'll kill him. I'll shoot
him. Ill poke his eyes out. You
just wait"
Shut up, Buster!' ordered father.
you've been asking for this and
I'm glad you got it. Go wash your
face and don't make a fool of your
self shouting threats. You aren't
going to shoot anybody or hurt any,
body. Just remember you're years
old, no more, no less than the other
fellows and they're not going to sit
down to pray while you kill them.
Not ever! Go wash yourself and
keep still and behave yourself after
this"
But mother was unhappy. "I
don't think that that boy ought to
get away with this" she said after
Buster had gone to the bathroom,
sobbing.
Jolly WELL he should" said
father, contentedly. I've been
hoping that some one would get up
enough gumption to give him a
poke in the eye before this. May
be now he will behave decently. He
was getting to be a regular bully,
an if there's one thing more than
another in kid that I hate it's
that"
But you're not meaning to let
Rusty get away with punching Bus

Listen, Mary. We owe Rusty

Buster what we couldn't do, what
money couldn't buy. He gave him
lesson in good craftsmanship,
good manners, humility. The least
I can do for that boy is to take him

Currant jelly sauce is good

cellent soups that "jell'' in the can.
Nearly every brand now carries sew
eral OF these, and they are all tasty
and reliable. One of the newest is
a chicken bouillon that produces one
of the "truest" of chicken jellies.
There is also clear mushroom broth
that solidifies. The old standbys,
consomme and madrilene, are al
ways useful and delicious. It is
amusing to mix some of these soups
cold, just the same as when they
are served hot-for instance, to lend
strength and flavor to the madrilene,
add some of the consomme to it,
or the chicken bouillon may be COM
blned with the mushroom to provide
lighter, more delicate mixture.

school, or college. Now it's up to
you to land a job. How will you go
about It?
First of all, see that as many peo-
pie as possible know that you are
looking for job. This includes
relatives, neighbors, friends and
classmates. Particularly friends and
classmates who are also seeking
work.
Perhaps that seems strange to
you. You might think 1t wiser to
pretend to potential rivals that you
weren't particularly interested in
working. Then, if a job stuck its
timid head above the ground, YOU
could pounce on it before any one
else had chance at it.
But that's short sighted. If your
ork-seeking acquaintance know
that you, too, are actively in the lob
market, they can help you. They
can give you tips and leads which
they hear about, but can't use. OF
course, you'll do the same for them.
Hundreds of young people have OBJ
tained positions through this sort
Of cooperative effort.
Register at the
Employment Agencies.
Second, register at any employ
ment agencies in your community
which handle the sort of job you are
seeking. Federal and State govern
ments now maintain such agencies
in many cities, and there is no
charge if they get you job. Pri-
vate agencies charge a commission
on your earnings for a few weeks,
but sometimes they have better jobs
available than the Government
agencies.
Remember that you have to sell
yourself to the person who inter-
views you at an agency, just as you
would to an employer. Personal
reactions are tremendously impor-
tant. If you make a good impress
sion on the interviewer, he or she
will be more likely to remember
you and throw jobs your way
Agencies try to be scrupulously fair
to every one, but their employees are
human. And the applicant who is
well liked gets the breaks.
Once registered, don't let the
agency forget you. Being a pest will
hurt your chances. But checking
with the agency, frequently and
pleasantly. will keep them from for
getting you Remember that they
have hundreds of applicants. You've
got to make yourself stand out from
the crowd
Third, watch the classified adver-
tising columns of the newspapers.
Watch them regularly! You may
never see the kind of job you are
looking for. On the other hand, the
very job you want may be adver-
tised tomorrow.
