INVESTIGATION |Try Homey Waffles for Informal Meals WAFFLES FOR WELCOME a family table during the crisp served with plenty of butter and rapidly. By MRS. GEORGE ALEXANDER (AP Feature Service Writer) Waffles lend a homey hospitality to breakfast, lunch or supper. Since | they often are made and served | right at the table, they are general favorites in many households where | informality is a charming virtue. | If waffles are to be crisp, tender and tasty their batter must be of Jjust the right consistency. It should be thin, smooth and creamy in of eggs and fat, for the fat adds to the crispness. The egg whites derness. Cooking Important The cooking process is also very important. Either 'an iron of the old-fashioned variety or an elec- tric unit may be used. The fommer generally requires greasing for éach waffle. Electric irons, however, do inot necessitate greasing since the fat in the waffles prevents them from sticking. When steam stops coming out of the sides of the iron the waffle is generally done. It should be crisp and brown and easy to lift out be- fore it is removed, however. Variety in Serving Try serving plain waffles with fried chicken, chops or fish, and topped with a creamy gravy Add a thin layer of crisp cooked bacon, grated cheese, blueberries or other small fruits, minced ham, chopped cooked sausages, nuts, co- conut or raisins to the batter just after it is placed in the waffle iron. Or—for the bridge foursome — mix up a batch of cheese waffle: topped with a creamed chicken or!

Italian Fascists are sternly fox--I bidden to shake hands with anybody in the future. Handshaking is outlawed in an official decree issued by Achille Starace, secretary of the Fascist Simply because handshaking is a “political crime unworthy of Fas- cists,” .according to the decree. A well-filled plate of waffles will be a mark of Hospitality at many spring days.

Wilcox, of the University of Alaska faculty as in- structor, ended a five weeks' se sion in Juneau last evening, with a total enrollment of 122. The last three sessions were de- voted to lectures by B. D. Stewart, | Territorial Commissioner of Mines, |and Senator Henry Roden. Department Work | Mr. Stewart outlined the work being carried on by the Territorial Department of Mines, briefly ex- plaining the service rendered the prospector. He stated that an ex- |amining engineer may be sent into a district by request, but that care !1s taken in arranging trips’ so that various properties in the same area can be examined. Sketches are made of the examined properties {showing the location of surface and yunderground development. The type (of country rock and of the mineralized zone, including ithe type of mineral are shown on fthe sketch in color. Samples of the preperty are taken whenever pos- sible and the assay values are in- jcluded in the report. Results of ithe findings are not distributed lfrom the Commissioner’s office ex- lcept with the permission of the iowner. This examination service is lof great value to the prospector in ithat he may have definite know- ledge of his claim and may use the official report, if nece v, in ob- taining money for development work. District Examinations Mr. Stewart spoke of the value jof district examinations, citing the |instance of the examination of !Good News Bay several years ago. !The findings showed the presence of platinum. This information was (published with the resultant pres- jent_ activity. Sporadic work had jbeen done in the section, but gen- 'al lack of knowledge had kept the area from developing. When the published information was placed where funds were available opera- stors went into the district. Roads Beneficial The Commission stated that one of the functions of the office is jto recommend to the Gevernor var- ious sections for road and trail development. He stressed, however, that individual roads are not built unless they can be of genuine ybenefit in opening an area. It is the desire of the depart- ment to expand the examination jof ‘individual properties, said Mr. istewart, adding that about hundred +fifty prospects and properties had 'been examined during the past year. This number was cansidered zlarge by many members of the class who had not realized the (scope of individual examination. New Pamphlets Tssued | The Department of Mines is }phnning to prepare individual pamphlets on the forty-nine re- cording precincts in the Territory, giving a brief, clear description of each particular area. It is felt that such a compilation would be of great benefit to both the pros- pector and investor.

WEATHER SYNOPSIS The barometric pressure’ was normal this morning over the Alaskan Arctic Coast, elsewhere over Alaska and the northeastern portion of the North Pacific Ocean low barometric pressure prevailed, the lowest reported pressure being 28.60 inches a short distance southwest of St. Paul Islang. High barometric pressure prevailed from California west- ward to the Hawaiian and Midway This general pressure distribution has been attended by precipitation from the Gulf of Alaska southward to Oregon. and over the Aleutians to Alaska and by fair weather over the remainder of the field of observation.
