ICY BLASTS, SNOW
HIT JUNEAU HARD;
AIRPORT MINDLESS

Old Man Winter breathed cold
and white and mean on Juneau this
weekend. and the Weatherman had
to go back in the records 33 years
to find such heavy snowfall on
record so early in the season.
Snow began falling at the Juneau
airport at 1904 pm. Saturday. At
10 am. Sunday, just II hours later,
there was an even seven inches.
This is the heaviest snowfall on
record so early since the l3-inch
snowfall November l, 1917 in Ju-
neau.
Yes, a sofa beautiful finch
Blanket of snow-at the airport,
where there was no wind.
Repeat: There was r. wind.
OF course there was no wind-it
was all right here!
Best guesses by the experts are
that Juneau winds blew in gusts
of 35 to as miles an hour. (The U.
S. Weather Bureau has no wind
measuring Instruments in the cityD
However, it seemed like 80 or
SO mph to pedestrians slipping and
sliding, careening and lodging, and
to motorists blinded by the fury
of solid snow flurries.
Besides. when it blows in Juneau

es from every direction and goes
in fer every kind OF contortion.
Claude " Brown, meteorologist
in charge of the Juneau Weather
Bureau station, said, winds in
town always seem higher than
they are, because of the many
and quick changes of direction"
Brown also said that the rough
weekend weather emanates from
the storm centering just north OF
Dixon Entrance, which is moving
slowly southeast.
He said winds have decreased
here steadily, but there will con-

town tonight.
In Juneau, Saturday evening sleet
became real snow about 4 am.
Sunday and by am. there was
from one-half inch to an inch of
snow on the hills. Brown estimated
this would have been a three-inch
snowfall, had it remained. AS ev-
eryone within hearing or feeling of
it knows, the wind was high all
day, while the air got colder and
colder.
Speaking of cold-the tempera-
ture at the airport dropped to 20
degrees early this morning, COM
ing close to the previous low for
early November. That was Novem-
her l, 1916, when the mercury drop
ped to 10 degrees.
In Juneau, the wind ripped off
shingles and loose fixtures, hurting
them sometimes blocks away.
The flagpole at the Governors
House was blown down, and fell
across the driveway.
Motorists needed no urge to drive
cautiously. To the surprise of both
city and territorial traffic experts, !
there were no real accidents.
Highway Patrol Chief Frank A.
Metcalf was inclined to give some
credit to the fact that vehicles are
in unusually good condition, as the
result of the recent general mech
anical check-up.

QUERIES:
TUNA HINT.

From Mrs. c. H. B.. Washington
Within a month we must buy
furniture for our ocean front cot
tage. Since we have been told
so many contradictory things by
statesmen interested In their own
specific articles, we are asking fol-
unbiased experienced information
from you good readers.
l. Do you recommend the mod
ern, plastic upholstered furniture
for the living room? Incidentally
the house is of modern design.
2. Do the chromium or other
metal dinette sets hold up well
in the damp salt air atmosphere?
3. Would foam rubber mat
tresses and pillows be less likely
to take on a musty odor than the
conventional kind?
4. Do you have any other sug-
gestions to offer concerning furni-
ture or furnishings that we should
or should not purchase?
Now for the lady concerned
about saltiness of the tuna fish
potato chip. mushroom soup COM
bination: Substitute corn flakes,
wheaties or any other faky dry
cereal for the potato chips. We
think this substitution decidedly
improves this concoction.

CARE OF MAPLE FURNITURE.
From Mrs. r. E. w., Washington
In answer to Mrs. D. L. c.. the
care of maple furniture: First, ap-
ply a well-known car cleaner. The
directions are on the can. Be
sure the furniture is clean. This
you can tell, because If not, the
natural wood is cloudy. Then ap-
ply wax in maple color. There is
very much rubbing, but well worth
it, because of the results. The
first application, however, will not
show many results and may leave
you disappointed. But continued
use will remove all scratches and
protect your furniture from future
scratchings. We have a birdseye
maple bedroom suite and use these
products. 1t proves very salts
factory. I am sure that you will
be pleased with the results.

ANSWERS TO QUERIES;
COMMENT.

from Mrs. E. H. p, WnS1lingtorJ
For 4. T.. Washington: Boil
your Mexican pottery short
while, or If the pieces are toe
large, merely soak them in boil
ing water. They are coated when
made with a sort of shellac which
readily comes off in the hot water.
Once I tried to serve some hot
coffee in new cups and so learned
this trick the nard way.
What you use on your syn
thetic leather would depend a
good deal on what the leather is
used for. If it is a chair, I un-
derstand there is a new plastic
base paint on the market which
will not assume crackle glaze
from being sat upon. However,
if it is on a rigid surface you may
use any finish you desire. Have
you inquired at the paint stores?
Some time ago, either in this
column or elsewhere, I remember
seeing a request for Sour-dough
French bread. I have just sue
ceeded in finding a recipe for it,
and would be glad to share it with
any one who would like to have it.
I also have worked out q recipe
for two loaves of white bread
which are simply gorgeous. The
tantaliZing, reminiscent odor
alone is worth the cost of the in
gradients, which is very small, I
assure you. And if any one should
care for a recipe for two luscious.
golden loaves of French bread, I
have that. too.
If I may be permitted a small
observation, 1t seems to me that
more space than is necessary is
devoted to requests and answers
for recipes for cream sauce and
biscuits and the like. I quite re-
alize that numerous girls are just
beginning to cook, but I see no
point in taking up room in a col
umn such as this for the funda-
mentals. Not when competent,
all-inclusive cookbooks are so in
expensive and readily obtainable.
I am sure that the theory behind
the RICH Is an exchange of ideas
and helpful information between
homemakers, of specific assistance
to a few and possibly of interest
to many.
We are defeating the purpose

space to poor advantage. I now

If any one wishes to take issue
with me I shall be glad to refer
them to one of the many cook
books on the market, any one Of

ideas and recipes and I for one
would like to see it remain on

WILLOW WARE.

| from Mrs. M. A., Washington
I can answer in part Mrs. o. e.
LIS query as to willow ware by
quoting the story as taken from
the Book Of knowledge as follows !:
"On certain old china there is a
painting in blue which is known
as the willow pattern and willow
pattern plate is perhaps the most
famous china in the world. And
1t really comes from China, or so
did the first plate, for the story
is Chinese.
This is the story:
"A beautiful Chinese girl named
Koong Shee fell in love with her
fathers secretary, Chang, who was
a poor man. But the father of
Koong Shee wanted her to marry
rich man, and because she would
not give up Chang, her father sent
her away to a little house at the
end of the garden. Outside Koong
Shee's window was a willow tree
and just beyond a fruit tree and
Koong Shee sat all day watching
it bloom. She was very lonely and
unhappy until one day Chang
wrote and asked her to fly with
him.
Chang dared not post the let
ter lest it should fall into the
hands of Koong Shee'S father. But
he found a coconut shell, fixed a
sail to it and, putting his letter
inside the shell, dropped it into
the lake and watched it sail across
to where Koong Shee sat watch
ing. Koong Shee read the letter
and sent back her answer. She
said she would go if her lover
were brave enough to come and
fetch her. Chang went boldly up
to the little house and took her
away. They had to cross the
bridge to get out of the garden
and when they were halfway
across. Koong Shee's father saw
them and hurried after them.
Koong Shee went first with her
distaff, Chang followed. carrying
her jewel box, and behind them
ran the father with a whip. But
the father did not catch them and
they escaped to a little house on
1.-THE other side of the lake, where
they lived happily. But the rich
man who had wanted to marry
Koong Shee was so angry that
one day he set fire to the pretty
little house and Koong Shee and
Chang were killed"
1t seems to me that somewhere
I have read that the two lovers
were changed into doves, as pic
tured on the plate, but this story
does not say anything about that.

FOIL IN OVEN.

From Mrs. M. A., Washington. }
I feel that some of us should
come to the defense of the lady
who sent in the suggestion as to
using aluminium foil in the oven.
The two readers who tried this
and ruined their ovens have ex-
pressed themselves in the column
in such manner that the con-
tributor is probably walking
around in sack cloth and ashes.
I feel sure she did not forsee the
ruinous results of her well meant
suggestion and perhaps it did
work in her oven.
Another thing, in the letter
printed circular that comes with
every roll of foil. there is a plain
warning not to use the foil di-
rectly on the bottom of the oven.
I have found it nice in many cases
to glance through the instruc-
tions and suggestions put out by
the manufacturers of the prod
ucts we use.
