™be fish in this pen-picture by Artist Satterfield is a salny_¢ trout, which many Northerners consider the most _ feratiful form of life in Canada. This salmon—Ojibway Indians call him “namaycush” —is sportively leaping from the water, getting exercise Ba and expressing his joy at being alive. He is near shore, in shallow water, where he is guarding the eggs recently laid by his mate. : Tee already is forming along the edges of that shore. Soon the lake will freeze over, solid and thick. But when comes and the ice melts, the salmon will leap into air again. And the eggs will have hatched into thou- sands of young salmon, instinctively following one leader. Such is the whole spirit of winter, now creeping down from the Northland. Study Satterfield’s pen-picture. Grass and even reindeer moss are covered by snow. In the distance you see tree trunks, leaves all gone, rising dismally like rib bones of a half-buried giant's skeleton. few t tand out, symbols of life it is a beautiful scene—but cold, dreary and dismal ex- to a philosopher. anyon symbolizes death, the creeping thing that le.

Secretary Hoover, as boss of the inspection Services, could correct this in five minutes. Three. Coal profiteering—which can be remedied ds to ships at the same time it is remedied to all other coal users. Four. The labor problem. Let’s look at that a minute. Let us admit, for argument, that the Seamen’s act _ fixes American sailors’ wages higher than those of com- peting countries. Let us admit, for argument, that the Seamen’s act en- courages American sailors to heave their ships mid-voy- age. Accept the argument that a subsidy is needed to make up the wage difference. (All of which is admitted only for the sake of argument.) An alternative subsidy bill would provide that Ameri- can ship owners might pay only the lowest wages paid by any foreign competitors; that a sailor signing on for @ voyage, sign on also with the United States collector of the port of departure, and upon his return in his ship, having stuck thru the complete voyage, he be paid by the United States the difference between the wages paid Tiggad ship owner and the wages fixed by the Seamen’s This alternative—taking off stupid handicaps imposed dl the government and paying labor subsidy (if any) ly to labor, would apply to all American ships and _ not to a favored few and would cost the United States | treasury a tenth of what is proposed in the present bill.

It is the old story; the next in line steps briskly forward and takes his place in the cab. Geer, of the Northern Pacific, had been a railroader for 68 years. He started in 1854 as a water-boy, when en- gines burned cordwood. Good-bye, George. You've earned your rest. You couldn’t have led a more useful life. May the trains whistle in salute when they pass your house, as you have done to many. Necessity being the mother of invention doesn’t explain monocles., ee Lioyd George may be down; but he’s never out of the limelight. ‘The law helps those who help themselven.

LETTERS 2 EDITOR Wants Heat on Street Cars Editor The Star ‘The writer ts addressing you as the best medium thru which to reach the management of the street railways of the city. During the cold season # year ago a demand erose for heated care and the clamor was silenced by the etate- ment that the necessary appliances had been duly ordered, but had teen delivered in small part only. They were somewhat comforted, tho It was rather “cold comfort,” with the tm- plied promise of heated cars this win- ter, Up to date the writer has found No suggestion of warmth in the cars on which he rides (Green Lake line), and the promises of a year agc seems forgotten. Perhaps a street car m- perintendent could not be expected to remember for such a length of time. | If he were riding in unwarmed care these cold, foxy morning he would more readily remember.
