The pres- sure was falling rapidly this morning over the western Aleutian Is- lands. High barometric pressure prevailed over the West Coast States, the crest being 3048 inches at Eureka. This general pressure’ dis- tribution has been attended by precipitation along the coastal regions from the Aleutians southeastward to the Columbia River and by partly eloudy to cloud yweather over much of the interior and west- ern portions of Alaska.

As he was walking into the radio operator's officey his plane was sud- denly caught by a gust of wind and blown from the line into a fence damaging the rudder. Corrgian and two other men tried to stop it from hitting the fence hul} it was impossible.

Turn once, beginning at the out- side of the pan. This prevents fat sputtering which might cause fire. | Drain doughnuts on their sides on absorbent paper. The Doughnut Jar The richer kinds of doughnuts age well if they are stored properly. Use | a stone jar and keep- it well covered ‘\in a cool place. If youre a regular doughnut-eater youll have fo refill it about once a week. After the doughnuts are fried, strain the fat through a moist cloth into a jar. Cool and cover it and | keep it in the refrigerator. Here are some ways to change doughnut flavors: add a little mo- lasses and ginger, or melted choco- late to the dough, or add grated orange peel, chopped prunes, dates, nuts or cocoanut. Fancy Coatings Have you tried varying the shape of your doughnuts? One-inch balls of lightly spiced dough are just the | thing to serve with afternopn tea. Four-inch squares, gashed several times while frying, develop into in- teresting designs. To appeal to youngsters twist two four-inch dough strips together or shape them into bow-knots and cook as usual, There's yet another way to vary doughnuts—coating them. Here are some mew suggestions Add a little cinnamon, nutmeg and .cloves to light brown sugar; mix nut meats, cocoanut and raisins for the dip. Maple sugar mixed with cinnamon gives a delicious flavor. If you're just coating your doughnuts with sugar, it's advisable to prepare Jjust enough of them for a particular serving. . The final fillip is a frosting. Dip doughnuts into delicately flavored, thin icing. Cheese goes well with doughnuts, too. Spread some of the strong-ish yellow kind on the dough+ nuts as served. Or, for a really fancy effect, pipe it through a pastry tube. Here is a recipe for a molasses doughnut: 7 cups sifted flour, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon soda, 4 teaspoons baking powder, % teaspoon ginger, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, 1 teaspoon nutmeg, 1 egg, 1'% cups pure New Orleans molasses, % cup sour milk, 2 tablespoons butter, melted. Sift flour with salt, soda, baking powder and spices. Beat cgg, add niolassés, sour. milk and butter. Add sifted dry ingredients and mix thor- oughly. Roll on floured board to *% inch thickness. Cut with 3-inch doughnut_cutter. Fry in deep fat (370 deg. F.) until brown. Drain on absorbent paper. Makes 3 dozemn doughnuts. Serve doughnuts with | glasses of chilled cider. — e I Today's News 'today.—Emplre. at present embraces about six dif- ferent crews working at Ke kan, Saxman, Hydaburg and Klawock, The program consists of removing totem poles from abandoned Indian villages and burial grounds, recon- ditioning them with the help of ex- pert Indian carvers and laborers and then resetting them on publicly owned land within or adjacent to existing villages.
