PAA INITIATES WINTER SCHEDULE

With the advent of fall and cold weather Pan American Airways will operate on a new schedule. This new schedule was initiated today but for Nome will take eff feet on Friday, September 3.
 Arrival time in Nome on this schedule will be $50 am. and departure time is set at l1:00 am. Thus, for the winter months, the three-hour layover time which this past summer enabled many business people and sightseers to visit Nome and return to Fair banks the same day, has been eliminated.
 Already the general fall exodus is becoming apparent, and for those who plan to fly to Seattle it will be wise to make early reser- vations to insure through passage.

supposed to suit the average wo-
man" for most kitchen tasks.
However, it is too high for many
short, stout or short-armed women,
causing strain on arms and shoulders
as well as awkward work. Similarly,
it is too low for tall women, forcing
them to stoop and time backs and
eyes.
The problem is further complicat-
ed by the fact that kitchens these
days are used by all the family.
Levels that suit mother may be hard
on taller father on shorter children
when they lend a hand at cooking
Or dishwashing.
Different kitchen jobs need differ
ent heights, too. Mixing, stirring and
dishwashing, for example, are done
more comfortably several inches be-
low the comfortable height for cut
ting and preparing vegetables.
If sinks and counters could be
made adjustable so that they would
move up and down at the press OF
a button. the problem would be solv-
ed. But SO far no inventor has come
forth with a practical device to
mike them so. Even if counters were
adjustable, how could sink pipes be
made to stretch and shrink?
One possible solution may be small
rolling platforms that slide In or
out from the base of kitchen cabl-
nets. These would not be hard to
make and would allow the house
wife to raise or lower her stance as
needed. They would also be helpful
for children when helping in the
kitchen.

he stove will prevent accidental
tipping. Cover scalding liquids be-
fore carrying them, and use a cloth
or pad to lift them. Before opening
!; steaming kettle or rooster, cover
.he pan with a cloth and lift the far
eiac of the cover first. Avoid oven
c"nninp and follow directions when
using a pressure cooker-make sure
he safety valve is in working con-
aition.
Falls are the most common cause
of accidents in the kitchen. A safe
step stool or step stand is an essen
tial piece of equipment in any mo-
dern kitchen. Grease and water
should be mopped up from the floor
Immediately to eliminate the danger
If slipping and falling.
Other kitchen tips are: Keep mat
ches out of children's reach. Don't
use e. soline or kerosene to start kit
chen range fires. Keep all dry clean
ing operations out of the kitchens.
Check stove pipes and flues regular
ly. Store all medicine, insecticides,
and drugs away from the kitchen.

No problem in kitchen planning
has proved harder to settle than the
height of sink and working counters.
The right working height is essen
tial. for comfort, convenience and
efficiency at kitchen jobs. But how
to find a level to suit all housewives
when they differ so much in height
as well as in other proportions?
The standard height of working
surf ces now used by cabinet makers
is SO inches from the floor. This is
