he was lost on the Titanic, and it is
the boat that carried hts body into New
York harbor. While it's master was
living it went all over the civilized
waters of the world. spending much
time in India. In late years it was
made over for the wedding journey of
the SON of this man, Vincent, and his
bride. In its rich. upto-dateness of
furnishings it will go to war, just as
it has gone to social functions at New
port, carrying our country,s richest
merrymakers out into the blue waters
of their favorite summering place.
The Corsair, owned by J. Pierpont
Morgan, is another of the boats prof
fered to eur government, and is the
namesake of a boat that had a dra-
matte life. The old Corsair was trans
ferred by the late Mr.. Morgan to the
government at the beginning of the
Spanish American war. Under another
name she now was going to say
trains men, but perhaps I would bet
ter stick to unfisured language. and
say that she is the training vessel on
which our sailors get much of their
early instruction.
The other boats that are given over
by their rich owners for the protection
of our country are the Viking of
George F. Baker and the Kamawho by
John Borden.

the fleet miniature greyhounds have
been purchased in England and they
are on their way to this country war
perils may delay the arrival, but it is
certain that in a test of speed no sub
marine or torpedo destroyer could ever
catch one of the lightning fast racing
dogs.
The length of a polo fieId-300 yards
is one third longer than the usual dis
tance for a whippet race, and there
are stretches of level turf overlooked
by the verandas at every golf or coun-
try club that will be admirable courses
for the flying dogs 1t is proposed to
esta blish a Long Island circuit of dog
races and also to introduce the sport
elsewhere, probably in connection with
open air dog shows that have suita BILE
grounds.
Association, is of the opinion that
whippet racing would be a fine sport
as a new amusement for polo and
country clubs. Il have heard of the
experiment that is to be tried at
Meadowbrook," said Mr.. Herbert and
from what 1 have seen of whippet
racing during my trips to Great Brit
ain and read of the sport I have long
thought it might be introduced here
as a country recreation. The dogs are
gentle yet full of spirit, and as the
element of cruelty that mars so many
sports does not enter In any way, under
the proper auspices whippet racing
should soon be well established here
There could be no better race track

SALMON MAKES GOOD FOOD
Declared to. BE Not Only the Most
Nutritious but the Very
Cheapest. -.

If the housewife only knew Il, salmon
Is the cheapest and at the same time
most nutritious food that can be eat
en-. This is the assertion Of James
t. Barron of Portland, Ore. corre-
spondent of the Washington Post
states. According to Mr.. Barron, sal
mon contains more nutriment than
beef, or quite as much at any rate,
and It Is far cheaper.
Salmon is one of the few articles
of food that is better when canned
than when eaten fresh. Canned, the
salmon retains all the oil, whereas IL
cooked fresh much of the oil is wasted.
desirable food when one is trying to
solve the high cost OF living problem.
Red salmon is higher in price than
the pink salmon, but In fact the latter
Is better.
"The Importance of the Alaskan fish
cries is demonstrated by the increasing
output of the canneries. There are
something like 100 packers In Alaska,
and the pack has increased since 1907
from 2.171,741 cases to 4,916,630,
which is the estimated pack of salmon
for the year 1916 Compared with the
Puget Sound pack, which in 1915 was
estimated to be 710,31s, Alaska looms
up large, and this comparison shows
the great development of the Alaskan
fisheries. 1t is only question of time
when the Alaskan fisheries will ex-
coed IN valne all other products of the
territory. This may appear remark
able to the mind Of the average East
erner, whose Imagination regarding
Alaska is that only gold is produced
there. The fact is that Alaska Is
wonderful country. 1t Is cold there at
times, but have seen 1t colder right
here In Washington on occasion; at any
rate, 1t appeared to me colder.
-The approximate value Of the Alaska
pack for last year has been estimated
to be $23, 800. 800, while that Of Puget
Sound is estimated at $685. SOL"
