land is in itself no small accomplishment for
air-breathing animals. The females leaving
the islands in November, go further south
than any other members of the berd and in
December appear off southern California,
where they remain until March. They then
begin their long return journey, reaching the
islands early in June.
Within two days of their arrival on the rock
cries the cows give birth to their pups. Not
until ten or twelve days have elapsed do they
return to the water or take any food. Then,
after washing and playing near the islands,
they make their first long trip to the feeding
grounds, coming back to the rookeries after
three or four days Thereafter throughout
the season the COWS make regular feeding
trips at intervals of five to ten days
The seals subsist chiefly on squid but also
on herring smelt, salmon, pollock, and other
kinds of fish, which caught and eaten in
the water They have prodigious appetites
and gorge themselves whenever the opportu-
nifty comes.
On the approach of cold weather, the cows
and pups leave the islands together. Up to
that time the pups have subsisted solely on
milk, and they then have to learn to catch
their own food, consisting of fish and squid.
Inasmuch as the natural mortality among the
pups in their first year is fully SO per cent, 1t
is evident that they experience many vicissi.
tudes in the tempestous seas to which they
commit themselves. The males follow shortly
after, but some remain about the islands
throughout the winter in mild seasons, and
the natives always depend seals for food in
December and January
Fur seals and hair seals have always been
regarded as legitimate objects of exploitation,
and all governments having real or assumed
property rights in herds of seals have sane
toned their killing, under restriction, for fur,
leather, OIL food, etc.
Beginning in 1886 and continuing until the
sale of Alaska, Russians were almost contin-
uously engaged in killing fur seals the
Pribiof Islands. In the earlier years there was
a promiscunus scramble among rival compa-
MES so that to maintain order and properly
regulate the taking of seals the government
was forced in 1893 to give the privilege to
single company, created by imperial decree
and having among its shareholders members
of the imperial family and the nobility. This
association known as the Russan-American
company, enjoyed monopoly of this business
as long as Russia had control of Alaska. An
ukase issued by Alexander I in 1921 for the
regulation of the company had as of its
features the prohibition of foreign vessels
within 100 miles of the Russian coasts and

Baking Economy.

BY the use of perfect baking powder
the housewife can derive as much econ
omy as from any other article used In
baking and cooking. In selecting a bak-
ing powder, therefore, care should be eX-
ercise0 to purchase one that retains its
same, thus making the food sweet and
wholesome and producing sufficient leav-
ening gas to make the baking light
Very little of this leavening gas is pro-
duced by the cheap baking powders, max
ing it necessary to use double the guam
tfty ordinarily required to secure good re-
suits
You cannot experiment every time you
make a cake or biscuits, or test the
strength of your baking powder to find
out how much Of it you should use: YET

islands. This ukase involved Russia in dis
pute with the United States and Great Britain,
resulting in the treaties of 1924 and 1922
which recognized Russias claim to jurisdiction
over the whole of Boring Sea- Okhotsk Sea,
and other water inclosed by Russian territory.
From the outset the company placed a ra,
tionaI limit on the number Of animals killed
each year, and in the light of later experience
it is evident that the herd would have been
fully able to sustain the annual harvest OF
skins if these had been taken only from ths
males. But males and females alike were
slaughtered in ignorance or disregard OF the
polygamous character of the seals, and as
early as 1906 it was necessary to suspend
operations for two years in order to permit
the herd to recuperate.
When killing was resumed, however, it was
along the same destructive lines, and the
mighty fur-seal host continued to dwindle I'M
til by 1884 it's numbers were reduced to one
fifteenth or one-twentieth of those present in
the first years after the discovery of the
islands The suspension of all killing for
term OF years then ensued, and by the time
operations were resumed the company officials
had come to realize that the females should be
protected, and later the sacrifice of old bulls
and young pups was stopped
The result was remarkable recuperation
and increase in the herd that afford a valid
basis for the belief that speedy recovery of the
decimated herds of Alaska, Russia, and japan
may follow the elimination of the factor re-
sponsible for their present condition, namely,
the ndscrmnate killing of males and females
at sea- When Russia ceded her jurisdiction
over Alaska, the Pribilof fur-seal herd had at
tanned degree of prosperity closely approach
ing it's condition at the time of it's discovery,
and we thus came into possession of a re-
source but little impaired and had knowl-
edge of its significant history to guide us in
its treatment
It is cause for congratulation that no coun-
try has dealt with its seal life in a more intel
lgent, humane, and Jealous manner than the
United States and 1t was cruel fate that for
so many years rendered our efforts futile. The
only occasion when there was any laxity in
our administration of the seal islands was dur
ing the first years of our possession when the
government was still unOrganzed anywhere in
the territory and various private companies
landed parties on the Pribilofs and took seal
skins without any government supervision or
restriction. 1t was in that year that the larg-
est killing in the history of the islands was
made; the number of skins obtained was prob
ably not less than 100000, and may have
reached $4,000; but this take was not indis-

WHAT INSURANCE
COMMISSIONERS SAY

Insurance Commissioner VIM. H.
Hotchkiss of New York, chairman of
the executive committee of the Ma
tional Convention of Insurance Com
missioners, prior to the last Head
Camp of the Modern Woodmen of
America, gave the following official
notice to that society:
Pursuant to action of the national
convention of state insurance commits
sioners, at its adjourned session III
December last, 1 write you this ex-
preston of views as to the necessity
Of your order-as well as all other
fraternal benefit societies-placing
itself on firm foundation as to rates.
An insurance society which in these
days does not recognize that the cost
of insurance is fixed by laws other
than mans laws-namely, the laws of
nature-or prescribes for its mem
bers either fat rate, irrespective Of
the age of its members, or any other
rate that is not scientifically safe, is
deceiving both itself and its members
and approaching the time-perhaps
slowly, but not the less surely
when it must fail and it's contracts be
repudiated. The fraternal spirit is a
good thing; but the rates and man
agement of fraternal societies must
also be such that the beneficiaries of
the last member to die will receive
every dollar that such members GER
tiflcate calls for"
State Insurance Commissioner
Ekern of Wisconsin has issued an Of
fetal interview in which he says:
"Fraternal societies generally have
come to recognize that their business
must be conducted on a sound basis.
This means q re-rating for nearly ev-
cry society, and members who do not
fully understand the situation are
often inclined to complain of in
creases in their rates. They should
understand that with a re-rating on
a sound basis they have a much more
valuable insurance than before. All
are benefited by getting permanent
insurance for what was uncertain be-
fore. The Modern Woodmen of Amer
lea, by reason of its long experience
with a large membership, is permitted
to make rate upon it's own expert
ence, which is even lower than that
based on the National Fraternal Con-
gresS table, which new societies must
adopt. The cost of this insurance is
not a matter of mortality tables or
rates charged, but depends upon the
actual deaths in the society. A re-
rating merely means that each mem
Der shall pay his real share Of that
cost. Members who think of drop
ping their insurance will do well to-
take enough time to study the ques.
ton before doing anything which may
bring regret to both themselves and
their families"
The Chicago Inter Ocean says:
cit is unpleasant for the members
OF the Modern Woodmen Society to
have to pay more for their insurance,
but let them think how much more I'M
pleasant it would be for those 5000,-
900 women and children, or any OF
them, to be deprived of that protec-
ton because their husbands or faith
ers got angry. That is what all Wood
men should think about"
