It is a theory not unanimously held, for there are e {two sides to the controversy. The war is in some '® measure to blame, since it was difficult in those years e for the Fish and Wildlife Service to exercise the usual | e precautions for protection and conservation of the salmon supply. Manpower was short and equipment was not always available to enforce regulations and make observations at the spawning grounds. Alaska has been divided into 19 districts for ad- | ministration of fisheries regulations. According to| reports, there has been no notable diminuition in the salmon run in twelve of these areas. In four others, |the runs are described as at “medium level,” and in | three there has been serious depletion. The Fish and Wildlife Service has made drastic curtailment in the fishing season this year to help correct these conditions and restore the runs toward normal levels. The season has been reduced to nine days in some sections. In Bristol Bay, there will be but 20 fish days. In only a few instances will the season last more than 35 days. i The fish trap controversy is only one of several | Alaska problems the Congress has neglected too long to solve. Congressional indecision on these questions has retarded development of the Territory.

A. A stag dinner should be given in a man's bachelor quarters, or in a private room in a hotel. If he chooses to give the dinner in his own home, his women folks should not appear. Q. Do you consider it rude for a person to ask the age of another person, especially in public? A. Yes, it is rude, ill-bred, and unpardonable, whether the question is asked in public or privately. A well-bed person would never do this. Q. May invitations, acceptances, or regrets ever be typewritten? A.

Even when these affairs are run honestly, the chances of winning are about a million to one against the player, and, beyond this, many of the lotteries are pure fakes. The Associated Press reports, for example, that a New York man who won (sic) $100,000 in a Mexican sweep- | stakes last December 26 has not yet been paid, and there is little likelihood that he ever will get his | money. | “A widely prevalent source of discomfort is in As a matter of fact, there were 32 | the swallowing of air,” says a medical writer.

But despite the widespread - publicity given this swindle, tickets now are being distributed in New York for ahother Mexican sweep- stakes—this one based on the Kentucky Derby—and we have no doubt they are selling like hot cakes.
