Washington, July 17.-To insure an adequate supply of canned goods for the army and navy, the Defense Conn cil's Supply Committee today asked all the country's canners to reserve 12 per cent of each canners pack oi peas, 12 per cent of corn, IS per con; of tomatoes and per cent of salmon These percentages arc based upon the canner's entire pack, not on his uu- sold surplus. The request affects } 300 canners in IS states.
 Which means that everybody who is in a position to can vegetables now has an additional reason for doing SO
 The reserving of canned goods for our military forces will leave all the less for tho rest of us. The person who cans food will be serving his own iaterest and serving the country s interest.

DRY STRAITS CHANNEL

General Black, chief engineer Of the war department, has decid- ed that the dredging Ot Dry Straits Is feasible.
 This" says the Wrangeu Sen tiueII, should silence the doubt CTS and pessimiSts who have repeat edly claimed that A could not be done without an expenditure of fab ulous sums of money, and that they would not stay dredged after the work vas once done
 It remains now for Alaskans to keep on reiterating the great nec- cssiry for the work. Every ship now going to Alaska is loaded al most to the waters edge with freight. There is business for more ships by far, than Alaska has and 1t is only a question Of time when he commerce of Alaska will be multiplied many fold.
 At present ships going north and south are delayed many hours by being compelled to wait for the tide at Wrangell Narrows. It costs from $500 to $500 a day to run 8 ship. It is easy to See what 8 great loss this delay is to shipping, and this all has to come out Of the man who pays the freight. This holds back development work in Alaska. Also large ships, as 1t is now must practically all go outside. The water In Wrangeu NarrOws, even at high tide is not depe enough. This makes freigbttng stil more ex- pensiYe, as this takes upwards of 20 hours to make the trip.
 "Wrangeu NarTOws is a great place for fogs to settle in, especi- ally in the fall when Alaska is sending out all it's fish. When the fogs come there the ship must stop. Sailing by time and the chart is i'm possible there because the channel is so narrow.
 50 we see what a great conner ciaI necessity the Straits are, but this is not all, Alaska would be "a great prize for a nation In time Of war. It has has it's gold, its cop per, and its coal There might be 9 time when it would be absO- lutely necessary for defense. to send large ships up through the inside channel. This could only easily and successfully be done by making Dry Straits 9 channel deeD enough at all tides for large ships. so Dry Straits is both a commercial and Q military necessity"

From Emerio to America.

The transformations that take place In a name as ls passes through differ ent languages can only be accounted for by careleSSness In tsapsmlssion One would scarcely expect the name or Emeric, the name of q pions Hun gariar prince of the eleventh century
 who was made O saint, to take the form of Amerigo in Italian and of Amory and Emery in English. The name in German, but little changed from the original. is Emmerich- This obscure Hungarian saint has been a person of consequence tn this world. for from his ESr2c has come that or this great continent. In the fifteenth century. in the Italian form of Ameri- go, 1t was bestowed upon an Italian navigator surnamed Eespucci, and this continent. by still further mutlaiOn of the name. came to be known as America. When King Stephen of Hun
 gary was choosing name for his son be could scarcely have imagined that the name chosen was to be the parent of the word America and that poor old Christopher Columbus was thereby to oe despoiled of a recognition that is far from being compensated for by the term Columbia. ia.--Indianapolls News.
