There are innumerable other ways to serve canned salmon. It is used in combinations with other foods. It may be creamed or scal- loped. Salmon loaf, salmon chowder, salmon | patties or croquettes are favorites. Kippered herring scalloped with macaroni, makes a most appetizing dish, and a cheap one. Herring roe, if mixed with riced potatoes and fried in patties, is excellent food at low cost. The Ilowering of freight rates on the .Alaska Railroad, recently announced, will be welcomed by the people in the communities it serves. It is an action that should have been taken long ago. Now that Secretary Wilbur, head of the Interior De- partment under which the road is operated, has lost his fear of reprisals by Senator Howell, feeling that in the few days left to him as Secretary of Interior he wants to show how little he cares for the Ne- braskan's opinions.

Germany approaches the national and Prussian elections, scheduled for March 5, under more pres- sure of interparty fear, suspicion and il will than politics has aroused in that country for many months past. The use which Colonel von Papen made of his influence with the Rhenish industrialists ald others to bring Herr Hitler into double harness with the reactionary Nationalists was alarming to all the liberal factions. But the still unexplained use For many vears Alaska’s business intérests have | sought to interest salmon packers in absorbing Alas- kan labor in the fishing and canning industry. Their | efforts have been welcomed by the packing interests| and, individually, the packars have promised time and time again to give local people preference.| They probably have tried sincerely to carry out the| promises, yet each season finds them shipping (huu-i sands of men northward to work in their establish- ments while Alaskans must remain idle. Unquestionably the lack of some direct contact between the workers and the employing companies has been a major factor in this. In Seattle, Astoria, Portland, San Francisco and other centers of the industry, all the packers have to do is to make known their wants to reliable contractors and the| men they need are forthcoming. In Alaska we have no such contractors. It is a case of dealing with; individuals singley and that is highly unsatisfactory to those seeking men in large numbers. For this reason, the suggestion just advanced by the local Chamber of Commerce to the Associa- tion of Pacific Fisheries that employment agencies be established by the packers at Ketchikan and Juneau is particularly worthy of serious considera- tion. These are Alaska’s two largest towns, ccnleri of population in the coastal area, and cux'renllyi have the largest number of unemployed. Agencies| in them representing the canners could line up| competent workmen for the coming season and| benefit both the packers and-the Territory. The employers would obtain men on the ground, thusl saving transportation costs from and to Seattle. The Territory would be freed from the necessity of expending public money in relief of unemploy- ment. This is an ideal time for the experiment. The cost would be unimportant and the packers ought to give it a trial. GOVERNMENT BOOSTS ALASKAN FISH. The Fedsral Government, through the Bureau of Home Economics of the Department of Agricul- ture, has just issued a bulletin emphasizing the value of canned salmon and other fish on the household menu list. This is unusually fine publicity for the Alaska salmon ingdustry. It goes into the homes of thousands of people, into thousands of newspaper offices and other media of publicity. The bulletin is issued regularly under the head- ing, “Market Basket,” and is one of the “best sellers” issued by that The article follows: Canned salmon is one of the low-priced articles on the grocer's shelves in winter. Sardines, kippered herring, and canned her- ring roe also are cheap. These particular fish products mean more than mere items for low-cost meals. They have unusual value in the diet. Canned salmon is a product of the salmon fisheries of the Pacific Coast. Millions of pounds are canned each year and shipped all over the world. There are five kinds of Pacific salmon, however, and though they are closely related species of fish, they usually sell at different prices. The Kking salmon, or chinook, or spring salmon, as it is called in different regions *of the coast, is a higher-priced fish than any of the others as a rule. Next comes the sockeye or red salmon. The humpback or pink, tne silver or coho, and the keta or chum are the cheaper grades, all widely used. The Pacific salmons are very oily fish and the oil is rich in two of the vitamins—the fat-soluble vitamins A and D. The deeper colored fish are richer than the others, which means that of the four cheaper sals mons, the red and the humpback or pink are likely to be the better sources of these vitamins. Vitamin A is important in human food because it helps to prevent infections " of eyes, nbse, throat and the digestive tract. Vitamin D is the factor that prevents rickets in children, provided they have plenty of milk, also, to furnish calcium and phos- phorus. All foods rich in vitamin D are especially useful in winter, for when the days are short and the sun's rays weak, we get very little of vitamin D from the other greai source—the sunlight. Canned salmon has another important value besides its vitamins A and D. It con- tains the factor that will prevent pellagra, a disease prevalent in sections of this country where the diet tonsists chiefly of corn meal, fat meat, and molasses. Scientists who studied this disease found that by the addi- tion of ,canned salmon to this diet they could either prevent pellagra or cure it where Sardines are: young. herrings, which are also very oily, fish. They are rich in vitamin Department. |by which he made of 'his personal influence with President ‘von Hindenburg to unseat General von Schleicher and create a government from these two' elements has aroused a resentment among all the German moderates, as well as among the extremists of the Left, which is as helpless as it is bitter. Colonel von Papen's triumph in returning to power with new allies has completely alienated the Center and Bavarian parties from the Government and has driven them much farther to the Left than they ever expected to go. Yet they now join with the Social Democrats in being fully as fearful of a provocative Communist reaction as they are of the destruction of the Constitution and the republic the reactionaries. The Communsts themselves are not only violently opposed to the Nationalist coalition but are sensitive to the hostile attention that the moderates are focusing on them. They resent more bitterly than anything else the fact that they can do nothing. The feeling against them is so overwhelming that they would be re- lentlessly crushed in a revolutien, and Moscow has actually advised them strongly against provocative action. Even the German moderates are beginning to think that the display of assurance on the part of the Hitler entourage is not unlikely to win the votes that will put the reactionary coalition in complete, if not lasting, control of the Reichstag and the Prussian Diet, and in a position, therefore, to make sweeping changes in the form of government. That these changes would lead to a Hohenzollern restora- tion seems less likely in Germany than some of the news dispatches would indicate; but that a popularly indorsed von Papen-hutler-Hugenberg triumvirate would be anything but a democracy is taken for granied. In the face of a possible reactionary victory at the polls there is nothing for a divided tunities to create campaign incidents. In their pres- ent temper they can be relied upon to create inci- dents in plenty, and it seems possible, if not desir- able, that before March 5 they will give the German electorate a surfeit of them.

Barbara refuses, un- til a third, more conciliatory, arrives. She dashes for her train, and would have missed it but for the lift given her by Sir James Lodely. Sir James appears ill at ease. Mark is living in Farrell Armitage's House, and Farrell is' launching him as an artist and trying to cure his lameness so that Bar- bara, whem Farrell loves, can choose between pointer and benefactor on an equable basis.

She knew at once that these sur- you? (Daily Journal of Commerce, Seattle.) What other governmental activity since the cloud of unemployment settled over us has provided em- ployment comparable to road building? The value of such work cannot be calculated. Thousands of our people have been provided direct employment on the jobs. Others in great numbers have been afforded a livelihood indirectly. Strong pressure has been brought to bear re- cently to bring to a halt our Federal road-building program. Careful study of that line of activity will show that, in proportion to its cost, it the most effective of all governmental activities in the pro- viding of work for the jobless. To halt such work or to seriously curtail the program would mean that vast numbers would be added to the multitude of unemployed, and many material firms, equipment manufacturers and dealers, hauling firms, contractors’ and others would be shoved closer to the wall, if not actually put out of business. It is a simple matter to halt all activity. That would be following the path of least resistance. Our lawmakers, city, county, State and National, are too prone to pursue such policy without giving thought to just what those thrown out of work will do. Throwing breadwinners out of employment is an injury to all. People in this country will not starve. If the solution of the problem was to cease all public expenditures, no great exercise of brain power would be required. But that does not solve the problem. It merely aggravates the whole situa- tion. It costs more to support the head of a family in idleness than it does if he is partially self- supporting. All understand that apparently, except certain Congressmen and Legislators. Those who favor the halting of Federal and other road building should estimate the cost of the dole to unemployed that must then be paid. They have only half considered the question if they re- fuse to face that alternative. Dr. S. P.

You dont want to quarrel with him.” “Why should we quarrel?” “My dear gel, you know what Mark can be when he’s in a wicked mood. And he's been in his wick- edest ever since he came here.
