, than boiling by the directions above
One of these which was given me
by a Chinese friend. demands the
use of only u cups Of boiling water
to a cup of rice The water is put
to boil in the top Of a large double
boiler and the salt is added. The
rice is added and when the mixture
boils again. it is covered and cooked
over very low heat for 10 minutes
. Then the upper part of the double
/ boiler is put over the lower part
which contains hot water and is
allowed to remain there 10 to Is
minutes until rice Is tender.
A third method includes cooking
the rice first for Just 2 or 3 min
utes in salad oil or other shorten
ing, stirring so that the grains will
not brown over low fire. Then -
cups of boiling water are added and
cooking continued as it is by the
Chinese method. Any meat served
with gravy or any creamed meat
with vegetable is attractive when
surrounded by boiled rice
1t should be mentioned that both
white and brown rice are cooked
in the same ways, but more time
must be allowed for the latter.
Either type OF rice is suitable for
serving with meat or as a fOunda-
ton for any main dish While it
may be placed in a ring mold. in
my opinion 1t is more attractive
when the fluffy rice is put around
the edge of the platter just before
serving.

tions at their next meeting.
The group Endorsed Senator Nc

 They have arrived at a Pacific Northwest Army Hospital and all are agreed that fighting the Japan csc would not be bad if they could be seen.
 Eight men arrived on a steamer and all but three are listed as sickness cases.

MEMORIAL DAY OBSERVED HERE THIS FORENOON
Direci Meaning Brought 10 Alaska, Declared Bart
 Jeff in Address

ITO us iii Alaska, Memorial Day has never had quite the meaning that 1t has on this occasion. This, the greatest of all wars, is being fought in part OH our own soil. War has come home to us as never before and the blessings of liberty, which perhaps did not seem so particularly important when they were not as- sailed, are now more important than life itself to a hundred and thirty million Americans"
 With this appreciation of Mem orial Day, l943, E. L. Bartlett, Sec retary of Alaska. began the address of the day at the Memorial Day exercises in the Elks' Hall this fore noon.
 Presided over by Alfred Zenger, Commander of the American Legion Post. the program observing the day and honoring the soldier dead of this and other wars, was sponsored by Afford John Bradford Post No 4, American Legion.
 The impressive exercises began at II o'clock this forenoon with open ing remarks by MT zenger, followed by the Advance of the Colors by a Bugle Squad.
 The Star Spangled Banner" was sung by the gathering, led by Ern- est Ehler. accompanied on the piano by Major Victor Nutley. Prayer was said by the Rev Willis R. Booth.
 A tribute to the pioneers since the beginning of our country was made by Post Commander Zenger when he mentioned that they, too, since the first movement west, had been soldiers in their own way, many giving their lives to the development of their country--as had pioneers coming to Alaska, paved the way for the territory we have here today, "The pioneer led the way to the Alaska that is now being defended against the enemy by soldiers from every State in the Union-and from Alaska also" said MT. Zenger. The pioneers who came to Alaska in the early days gave their lives for theif country, too, and we honor them today as we honor our soldier dead 7
 Following the address oi Mir. Bartlett, MT. Ehler lead the singing of America the colors were re- tired and taps were played, ending the simple and impressive exercises which observed the day
 A parade to Alaska Steamship Dock where flowers were east upon the water in memory of those soldiers and sailors who had died at sea. and to Evergreen Cemetery where final observance of the day was made with prayer by Capt T J. Dyck, followed the program at the Elks' Hall.

The w ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON. (Major Robert S. Allen on active dutyo

WASHINGTON.-Insiders believe that if Ambassador Joe Davies, on his Mission to Moscow, was able to persuade Stalin to sit down for a confab with Roosevelt, he will be a miracle worker.
 The Russian Premier has been about as leery of comforting with the President as John L. Lewis is of sitting down with the War Labor Board. In some respects, their attitude is similar.
 According to t he diplomatic grapevine, Stalin figures that a conference with the President means a substitute for a Second Front in France. He sees only one reason for the President of the United States wanting to talk to him, namely to explain why Second Front can't be started in France And he would much rather have the Second Front than few hours of conversation, delightful as it might be.
 Several weeks ago U. s. Ambas- sador Admiral Standley went to Moscow from Kuibyshev to invite Stalin to confer with FDR. But he couldn't even get to see Stalin After cooling his heels for some time, he got word through Foreign Minister Molotoff that Stalin was too busy fighting the war.
 Nevertheless, the White House is hoping that Joe Davies may be able to perform the miracle.
 NOTE: Last summer another high-up U. s. visitor told Stalin that the United States was deter mined to start Second Front in France. Stalin's reply was: "Yes, if the British will let you" tStalin is not interested in a Second Front in the Balkans which he feels would take too long and would enter Russias sphere of influence He is interested only in a front directly across the English Chan nel)
