Alaska is one of the most favored regions in the nation for getting de- livery of essential machinery dur ing 1851, according to E. G. White head, machinery manager for the Northern Commercial Co.,, who re- turned recently from the companys annual meeting in Seattle. Our meeting was addressed by repre- sentativcs of 20 or more machinery manufacturers, said E. G White head, and nearly all of them agreed that right now Alaska r getting more machinery on defense orders than any section of the West. We found, too, that there; a strong disposition on the part ol manufacturers to favor non-ratea orders from Alaska as much as they can. They're anxious to build UP distribution here because they look to Alaska for expanding market. whenever the war situation clears up."
 J. A. Justeson, assistant western sales manager for Caterpillar Tractor Co.,, stated at the meeting that he could see the beginnings of new tendency u. the government to recognize the machinery needs of essential civilian industries, in- cluding agriculture. Much the same idea was voiced by H. B. Pence of Jchn Deers PloW Co.,, who recalled that during World War I orders fer agricultural implements were rated next to defense orders. MT. Pence was a visitor in Juneau last June.
 Lines which Northern Commer- cial Company added this year to its list of machinery distributorships in Alaska and Yukon Territory in- clude Wisconsin low horsepower gasoline engines for marine and industrial use, parts for which are stocked at Anchorage, Fairbanks and Juneau.
 Chairman of the meeting was Truman Sage, general manager of Northern Commercial Companys machinery division, assisted by II. D. Stephens.

it is there that we have our most severe competition. If this were so, we would also be asking Tor in- creases in Boring Sea, Bristol Bay ana the area west of Kodiak. For the record, let it be said that we lnN -te fair competition in any area. f this freight rate increase results in other companies entering the 5. E. Alaska trade we can only, welcome aboard
 There are several reasons why our costs are proportionately higher Ill 5. E. Alaska than elsewhere. First, -ecause It is desirable to maintain 4reighter service at least once every TWO weeks, in addition to the weekly passenger service, there have been times recently when ships have sailed with pitifully poor cargos.
 Cargo Statement
 Second, s. E. Alaska cargo moves in smaller shipments. Third, the in- ability to work freighters around the clock due to longshore working rules and gang shortages increases the length of time vessels require to discharge and load. Fourth, there is also the matter of longShore production when the ships are work ing. In 5. l.. Alaska the average iS Is tons per hour; in $. W. Alaska 22 tons per hour, or 22 per cent more production than in this area.
 Skinner cited the February sailing of the Square Knot, which sailed with l,941 tons of cargo for seven ;. E. ports, taking g days for the voyage. The $37000 revenue was off set by $53,000 expense, or a net loss of S16,0O0 for the trip.
 Question Period
 In a question period following Skinner's talk Harold Floss brought up the matter of how increased rates at this time would affect con- tractors who had been successful bidders on various construction pro- jects. Questions also brought out that passenger ships TNre fully loaded with cargo now when leaving Seattle; that the stevedoring situa- tion was a major factor in the necessity for the increased rates.
 A request for rate increases have have not yet been filed, Skinner said, Eut he wanted to talk with the groups that kwouid be affected before doing so.
 Franz Nagle reported that five men had contacted him regarding supplying power and telephone poles as a result of a recent story in the Empire. E g8 g,9 s8

Question: have an outside back
porch. under which is our sun
parlor and breakfast nook. The
roof leaks, and I want to know
what is the proper material to
cover it with and the method of
application.
Answer: Get a heavy roofing
canvas of best quality. The boards
OF the porch roof should fit closely,
with no uneven places. Defective
boards should be replaced. On this
put fairly thick bed of white
lead made into a soft paste by
adding linseed oil. Stretch the
first strip of canvas at the edge
of the roof, rolling it into the
paste and securing it with long
copper tacks put in an inch apart
all around.
Lay the second strip with its
edge overlapping the edge of the
first one by two inches. Put paste
under the overlap and secure with
tacks. Continue in this way
When the roof is covered, put
on a priming coat of porch paint
or deck enamel and. when it is
dry, two more coats of the same,
used as it comes in the can. Manu-
facturers of roofing canvas pub
lish leaflets giving complete in
structions on this work. Your deal
er should supply one of these when
you make your purchase. If he
does not have one, ask him to get
it for you.
Footprints Show.
Question: I painted my felt-base
linoleum, which had been painted
before. I let it dry we'll before
walking on it, but it shows every
mark. I have washed it up with
a pure, mild soap. but it still shows
all marks. What can I do?
Answer: If you painted the limo
leu mwith one solid color, this
would be sure to show every mark.
1t is good plan to paint in two
colors and "stipple" the second
one. With the first color clean and
dry, cut a large sponge in half.
Paint part of a clean board with
the second color and then press the

cut side of the sponge on the fresh
paint.
Then press it on the linoleum
thus transferring the pattern of
the sponge to the floor. The
stippling will break up foot prints,
and other spots will not show up
so much. Do not expect the paint
to last forever, but you can touch
it up when it needs freshening
Two shades of tan are good. Avoid
white and black. Use good floor
paint. You can keep the floor
clean-looking longer by applying
a thin coat of nonrubhing wax
from time to time.
Oak and Walnut Clock.
Question: I inherited an old
wall clock with the stand. Upon

found that the clock was of wal
nut and the stand of golden oak.
Is it possible to bleach and stain
the walnut wood to match as
nearly as possible the golden oak
stand?

lighter. but still very definitely
walnut. Can you give me any
advice? "
Answer: You can bleach the
wood until it is almost white with
a good commercial wood bleach,
and then try to match the golden

right color. 1t is not easy for an
amateur to make a good job of
bleaching and staining, for the
result may come out streaky. The
longer the stain stays on the wood
before wiping off. the darker the
color will be. You must expect to
do some sanding with finest sand
paper to get a really smooth,

off with a cloth dipped in tur-
