It has been the custom of men on the fishtraps to malt down salmon bellies for their own use. This mearis cutting out the belly of the fish and throwing the remainder of the fish away two-thirds of the fish are thus wasted. Even last year hun | dreds of tons of fine salmon were heaved overboard, minus the belly We would © to nee this practice stopped, at t during this war. The men employed on the fish: |traps are largely Austrians and Scandinavians, It should be very plainly put to them that euch prac tices are aiding the enemy There are several hundred fish traps on Puget Sound and from two to six men employed on each trap. Bach man will average at least one half barrel of salmon bellies, You can easily figure the quantity of sal mon wasted is hundreds of tons, ARCHIBALD T. HEANY.

It’s so easy for the thief! He steps into a car, starts the engine and drives away. No one suspects him—he poses as, and appears to be, the owner. The Security Auto Theft-Signal enables the public, police and auto owners to co-operate in a common effort to reguce the ever-increasing muneber of axto thefts. More than 100,000 cars were stolen im the Usited States last year; over 5000 on the Pacsfic Coast: 692 én Seattle. Me-cther form of crime has so baffled the police. c i : | t i a f | i i Mi d lif selves of its protection, and in not a single case has a thief succeeded away. No one can have any excuse for tampering with a Theft-Sagmal, and for this reason thieves do not molest the car that wears one—they take an “unprotected” car or one depending solely upen.a mere hock. & 8 | It has demonstrated that the public DOES watch the car that displays one, and that thieves “pass up” such cars.
