PLANTS ARE TO BE
OPERATED, 1913
Official Release from Fish
cries Lists Numbers
and Districts

OF the SO Alaska salmon Gamer
les which operated in 1912, about
10 are expected to continue their
operations this year, Clarence Olson,
Fisheries Supervisor for Alaska an
nounced today This falls in line
with approved consultations of can
ming operations which have been
made with a view toward the use
of minimum manpower and equip
ment to the best possible advantage.
The greatest obstacle confronting
cannery officials is the lack of ten
ders, scows and other floating
equipment taken over by the armed
forces. Only portion of such equip
ment is available for return to form
er owners" Mr.. Olson stated.
Canneries to Operate
Details of the number of Gamer
les that will operate during the
coming season in the various dis
tricts of Alaska, as released by
Mr. Olson follow: &
| In Southeast Alaska 80 canneries
will operate as compared to As last
year. The greatest number of clo-
sures will occur in Ketchikan where
| plans for consolidation indicate that
five plants will remain inactive in
addition to those at George Inlet,
Union Bay, Rose Inlet and Noyes
Island. Only two of the larger can
neries are expected TO operate in
the Wrangell-P ersburg section.
In the northern districts the Hood
Bay cannery and one of the Ten
akee Inlet plants will close.
Throughout the various areas an
effort will be made to save on the
number of required tenders by re-
ducing the hauling" of SAL
mon
An early agreement of combined
salmon packing was reached in the
Prince William Sound and Copper
River areas. Where five or more
companies at Cordova previously
competed for its share of the Cop
per River sockeye run in May and
June, one plant will now can the
entire output with a big saving of
labor and equipment. Salmon can
ming in Prince William Sound will
be carried on by five plants instead
OF the ten previously operated.
No cannery closures are expected
in the Cook Inlet district.
In the Kodiak district, salmon
previously delivered to the small
canneries at Moser Bay, Uganik and
Carmel will be packed at neighbor-
ing plants. Plans provide for the
operation of total of eight can
neries to be operated at Uyak, Port
Williams, Ouzinkie, Kodiak, Shear
water. Port Bailey, Uganik and
Alitak.
On the south side of the Alaska
peninsula canneries will be in OPP
Grafton at Chignik, Squaw Harbor,
King Cove and False Pass. on the
north side of the Peninsula three
companies will combine their in
terests In the operation OF one plant
at Port Moller.
The valuable red salmon run in
Bristol Bay will be packed by ten
canneries with approximately thirty
lines Of fast canning machinery.
The quantity of the pack in that
district, as well as other areas, will
be dependent largely on the am
cunt Of floating equipment which
can be temporarily released by the
armed forces.

Smart Beauty Salon
Makes Debut Here

In recent fashion magazine
there appears piece entitled Your
Hairdresser Is a Woman Now" and,
as it's heading implies, it tells the
story of skilled hairstylists of the
feminine variety, rather than the
masculine maestros who have been
so long in the public eye.
This same idea is being carried
out in a new salon which made its
debut In Washington few days
ago. Headed by skilled woman
who has spent years in the study of
styling, scalp treatments and hair
| conditioning, it is stated entirely
by women who are equally capable
The accent in this shop will be on
care of the hair and on permanent

also is a great deal of specialization

Do. You Know

Who made the first New England
clam choWder? Faced with famine
Ruth Alden Bass of old Duxbury
Mass, after observing that the pigs
rooted for CLANS and ate them on
the shore, prepared clam concoc-
ton. Served with the stew her hus-
band thought her bit touched
and expected the family to die from
that first New England clam chow
der. But Ruth and her children ap-
peased their hunger with bowl after
bowl of the broth, shocking their
neighbors by still being alive the
next day. Soon afterwards this same
mother and her brood moved to the
old south town of Braintree and
the recipe went by word of mouth
to the keeper of the tavern, the
neighbors and friends. The choWder
recipe was embellished from time to
time until at last it reached the
perfection it enjoys today.

To Reduce
Bullying
|Hipline
BY Patricia Lindsay

1t takes spring and the thoughts
Of new suit to make us realize
that somehow during the winter our
hips collected a few extra inches
Those inches are stubborn, and it
takes persistent exercise (and some
dieting) to Danish them. But no tai
lored suit or dress looks smart If
the hipline bulges.
If you will practice these reducers
20 minutes day for two weeks I'll
guarantee your hip measurement
will reduce 2 inches. But no cheat
ing-every day
Lie fiat on the floor, arms at
ease. Pull your abdomen in, let it
relax. In and out for 20 times. Then
pull it in and up, pause, let it relax.
Practice until the abdominal mus
cles will do your will. 1t will take at
least five days for you to do this
exercise rapidly and it is essential to
hip reducing.
2-Still on your back pull your
knees up to your chest Clasp your
arms around them. Now force your
self to rock backward and forward
on the f1eshy part of your buttocks
Repeat Is times.
STILL on the floor, knees back
to chest, arms at shoulder level.
Keeping your shoulders on the floor
push your knees over right and try
to touch the floor with them; re-
turn to starting position, then push
knees over to left, return to start
ing position. Do not strain your
self but each day get nearer to the
floor on right and left. Repeat 10
times. Do it slowly until you are
timber, then work rapidly up to 30
times.
4Lie on your right side and
grasp a heavy piece of furniture
with your right arm. You may
use your left hand for support. Raise
both legs off the floor and criss-
cross them rapidly until you must
pause for breath. Turn over and
repeat exercise. This is splendid
for reducing the thighs which most
likely need reducing.
5-This is difficult at first but 1t
does wonders in firming the abdo-
men and reducing the thighs and
hips, Stand in good posture, with
abdomen in and up, chest high.
Squat as low as you can, then rise
upward (still in good posture) and
kick right leg out to the right as far
as possible, then the left out to the
left. Squat again. Repeat this 10
or IL times each time you exercise.
1t does the trick.
Now remember, the more YOU
put into these exercises the quicker
you will have that figure of smooth
lines.

1t is an accepted fact. even by
the old blue stockings with their
conservative opinions, that Amer
lean women today are more beauti-
full than ever before.
This improvement in the aver
age feminine appearance, accord
ing to Max Factor, jr., of Holly
wood, is due to the fact that the
refinements of makeup and groom
ing originally achieved to meet the
exacting demands of the motion
picture cameras have been quickly
and steadily borrowed and adapted
by American women who go to the
movies.
Our modern art of makeup is
not static. Always it moves to-
ward new projections, leaving in
it's wake many pioneer crudities
And many of the today's stellar
beauties will be even more beauti-
full ten years from now!

Makeup Enhances Beauty
OF Lovely American Women

eyelash colorings, brow pencils, and
the important theory of color har-
mony which governs all society
makeup today. came into being
| only because of the very practical
professional needs of the theaters
and motion picture studios. And
each of these aids became a COM
mon item of everyday feminine
makeup in time.
Mr.. Factor points out that the
color harmony theory which calls
for powder. rouge, lipstick and
other essentials to be in harmonic
| ing shades with the complexion
and hair coloring of an individual
was originated by his father Can
early movie makeup artist some
20 years ago.
During that period, he created
| the eyebrow pencil to facilitate STU
| dio and theater makeup. This was
the forerunner of improved society
makeup.
| A few years later the elder Mr.
Factor created the first pair of
artificial eyelashes which did not
reveal their artificiality. These
were for Phyllis Haver of the silent
screen who had been promoted from
the ranks of Mack Sennett's bath
ing beauties to light-comedienne
stardom. These false eyelashes
we're the parent" of those being
regularly worn by many women to-
| day
Makeup has demonstrated be-
| yond all doubt that feminine beau
ty, as we judge it today, may be
cultivated by any woman who will
take the trouble to learn how to
minimize her worst features and
enhance her best one by clever ap-
! plication.

OF Making
|GraVies
BY 4 rfhnr II. Denfe

| Dv AfIHw II. DeHle
Oddly enough, there hasn't been
much good gravy around and about
these days. Seems people have
lost the fine art of gravy making.
Now it is coming back though,
coming back with a rush!
To serve with roast beef or roast
veal, genuine brown gravy, the
brown sauce" of fine cookery, is
made like this:
Take pound of veal bones, sawed
into 3-inch pieces. Put them into
an iron kettle together with a couple
of tablespoons of butter or oil and
brown the bones we'll. Then add to
the kettle, sliced carrot, a sliced
onion, a bay leaf and handful of
celery tops and brown all this a bit
more. Then add three heaping
tablespoons of flour and stir in we'll.
Last of all, add two quarts of water
and cook for two hours. Season
with salt and then strain carefully.
If too thin, reduce by boiling, or
if too thick, add little water and
cook for few minutes.
This is grand gravy just as it is.
But it is also the base for many
variations. Taking a cup or two
and adding some tomato sauce, or
little dry red wine and some chopped
olives and mushrooms-any one of
countless ingredients, enables one
to turn out gravy for every taste.
Poured over mashed potatoes or
| ~
eating.
Then there is the fashioned
milk or cream gravy that tastes SO
good when made in the pan after
frying ham or bacon. Just remove
the ham or bacon, pour off all the
grease except a couple of spoonsful.
Then rub in quickly two or three
spoonsful of -four and let it brown
| slightly. Then add two or three
cups of milk or cream and stir con-
| stantly while it thickens. If one is
not adept there will be endless
| Jumps, in which case the gravy
must be strained and then returned
for heating. With mashes potatoes
ar Warmed-over potatoes and maybe
an egg or two you have a hearty
| breakfast.
To make any bit of roast within
the ration" and still satisfy hungry
folks it has to do double duty these
days, and the best way to accom-
plish that is with good gravy.
Among the simplest of the good
gravies is the everyday pan gravy
made right in the baking pan in
which meat has been roasted. 1t
is very easy. AS with the frying pan
in which ham was fried, the roast
is removed from the pan, then the
grease is drained off, leaving as
nearly as possible only the essence.
Then, right on top of the stove,
over a burner, set the pan and rub
in couple of tablespoons of flour
and get it brown and smooth. Then
add plain boiling water, stirring
rapidly while it thickens, to keep
| 1t smooth.

Days passed. Each day brought
0f n,-fe 10 IL
Water spilled on the stairs where
no water should have been: tools
broken without reason; books lost:
noise in the halls; disorder in
auditorium; papers tossed on the
floor; monkeying in the gym. Still.
I each teacher poked and pushed,
coaxed and cajoled, grumbled and
smiled, and together they held him
in the school. At least he was
present in the flesh.
One day his teacher. along with
eight others, was absent. There
were no substitutes to be had. In
this situation the Bear spoke up
to the Head: Wen have to teach
ourselves. I'll take care of the
class. Don't you worry The plan
book is here. I know what to do"
And for 10 school days, two whole
school weeks, the Bear held the
chair, the class did the work
assigned, there was never a sound
from the room save "the sound Of
busy industry"
When the sick teacher recovered
and returned to duty the Head
presented a certificate of merit to
the class, with special mention of
one Albert Shoobag, very proud
| young man, indeed. He is doing
very we'll, thank you.
