S. export fig- ures during the 1914-1918 period indicates a high potential demand for canned fish .by the warring countries if the European conflict continues for a long period, an analysis issued by the Canned Salmon Industry reveals. The analysis is based upon 4 tabulation issued by the foodstuffs division of the U. S. Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce. This tabulation shows that for the fiscal years ending June 30. the U. S. exported 1,828,000 cases of canned salmon in 1914; 1,748,- 000 in 1915; 3,186,000 in 1916; 2- 458,000 in 1917; and 2,293,000 1918. Big Market years exports of to Great Britain cases in 1914; 1,- 2,204,000 in 1916; and 985,000 in Britain’s During these canned salmon totaled 1,304,000 296,000 in 1915; 1,585,000 1917; 1918, The above figures do not in- clude shipments for use of the American army in Europe.

The development of other cheap protein foods, including other canned fish items will modify the demand for canned salmon, the report anticipates. The apparent increase in amount of Japanese canned salmon which sells in the export market al low prices will also have an effect on the export of American salmon, it is expected. No Demand Yet The industry analysis points out that as yet, no important export demand for American canned sal+ mon has developed as a result of the war. Actually, war conditions and uns; certainties have reduced the ex- port business in canned salmon. However, with' the Allied powers preparing for a long war the need| for large quantities of low cost| protein foods for the armies and| the civilian populations will prob- | ably bring some increase in the export of American canned sal-| non, although it is doubtful if the volume will approach the quan- | tities exported in 1916 and 1917, | HELP THY | NEIGHBOR Telephone 713 ofr write The Alaska Territorial Employment Service for this qualified worker. | | SALESLADY-DANCING TEACH- | sistant Scoutmaster Antonio Thom- | tijve from the Third Division ER—Age 22, married.

G rection of the superbly chosen cast headed by March and Miss Bennett leaves nothing to be desired. Ann Sothern and Ralph Bellamy, play- ing the s s, con- tribute excellent comedy scenes, with minor roles handled capably by i~ ney Blackmer, Thomas Mitchell Giloria Youngblood, Linda Winters and Lotus Liu The authors of the scr ~Dorothy Parker, Alan Campbell and Frank R. Adams—have filled their pt with well-drawn, down- to-earth characters, scenes of mov- ing and tense emotion, dialogue that is fresh and crisp, humor that is rich and unforgettable. Joan Bennett, who appears for the first time in her screen career as a brunette, turns in one of her finest performances, while March’'s portrayal of a sleuth with a wes ness for the fair sex adds another memorable chapter of fine acting to screen annals. It must be said that a dark wig h added considerable mystery and allure to the already beautiful Miss Ben= nett, and a note of further glamour is provided by the lovely gowns which Trene designed for the actress, en. story 1so B SCOUT CIRCUS T0 BE STAGED HERE ON DECEMBER 6 Scout lead;rs Plan Activ-| ities at Meeting Held Last Night A meeting of Boy Scout leaders of the Gastineau Channel District was held last evening in the Ju- neau City Council Chambers, un- der the chairmanship of J.
