Here Comes Another Big
 Alaska Novel!

SEATTLE, July 23, -4H-It seems that Kathryn Winslow. of Chicago, wrote a highly successful book on the Klondike gold rush without ever setting foot in the far north. It was published last January under the title. Big Pan-out."
 Now, she's starting her second book on Alaska, but this time she's gathering her material first hand. She will leave Saturday on the first leg of a 20,000-mile air trip that will take her to almost every town and hamlet in the Territory.
 'This book-and maybe there will be two or three of them--is going to be about the people who built and developed Alaska" said Miss Winslow, bubbling over with her plans. T want to tell the story of the Western Union representatives and the men of the Army Signal Corps who began dickering with Russia for the purchase of Alaska back in the sixties"
 Editors Note: Miss Winslow is somewhat haywire. Russia tried to sell Alaska to the United States in the 185O's, when theys were afraid England would seize the country during the Crimean War. We were mt interested9

Secrets of Chorn1--Teen Foundations

From authorities on such mat

choosing supports for teen girls:
Types for teens are SO designed as

The best of these are made I'M

high in the leg afford freedom

in the back give hip control.
Individual problems such as
fleshy hips, thighs and waistlinesI
can be solved by teen girdles with
extra control features in these
areas. For the generally over

up will give greater satisfaction
in every way. but make sure the

From Mrs. E. R., Herndon.J
A chef at winter resort in

in mixing them. use any regular

same amount of water for milk
and cook as directed, making sure
not to lift the lid for about 20
minutes. Since 1 have been fol-

BrOiler Industry
Doomed In One
Generation Alone

A generation ago, spring chicken
was a summer treat. Now they're
seasonal all year around, and are
called brOilers or fryers.
For a look at the brOiler indus
try over the whole U. S., ]. Frank
GOrdy, extension pOultryman at
the University Of Delaware, quotes
these Figures.
Last year more than 600 million
brOilers came to market. This
means roughly, about 2 billion
pounds Of meat, or about II pounds
per person. This is a clear ad-
ditiOn to the nations meat supply,
for this not include poultry from
farm flocks. This year, brOilers
may Outnumber all other chickens
in the nation.
Factors which made the rise
from "a million to 600 million
brOilers possible, are all found in
the DelmarVa poultry industry.
Commercial Matching, and better
breeding for broiler quality were
essential, says GOrdy. Refrigera-
ton, food lockers, and ready-tO-
serve marketing of poultry played
big part. Use of anti-biotics and
Vitamin BIZ is the next big step.
Even more basic is the average
hens increase in egg laying. The
average number rose from SO in
1884, to 1877 in 1850, thanks to
breeding, research on better feed
ing and management.
