 These were the problems that con fronted Frederick Tile, the nero. of Here Comes the Bride" starring John Barrymore, the famous actor. Tile loved Ethel Sinclair, the beauti full daughter of Robert Sinclair. but the stern financier objected to the match. So it happened that when a certain woman came from South America and made a proposition to Tile, that he wed strange woman in consideration of $100,000 to be paid to him within one year, the bargain to be sealed with cash payment of $2O,OO0. Tile fell for it and became a benedict.
 A few hours after the ceremony, while Tile was counting his money his fiancee arrived and pleaded with him to marry her at once Thus the complications arose and they kept MT. Barrymore and Faire Bin. ney. his leading woman, extremely busy Naturally the trouble is ad- justed before the story is fully told.

fishery is to be continued as profit able commercial industry
 Protection Provided
 The Acts of Congress approved June IA and June 26, 1906, provide for the protection and regulation Of the fisheries in Alaska. Through the authority of the act of June 26, the Secretary of Commerce is authar. ized to limit or prohibit fishing in any or all salmon streams and within 800 yards outside the mouth of each so as to permit salmon to increase, when in his judgment the number of salmon taken is larger than the natural production of salmon in such waters. By the exercise of this authority practically all salmon streams in Alaska have been closed, it having been shown to the satisfac- tion of all interests concerned that existing conditions demand such as'- tion for the preservation of the sal mon. The limit of protection has thus been reached under the law, and departmental jurisdiction can not be further extended. If, und ar the present law and regulations, it is possible to carry on fishing to the permanent injury of the runs Of salmon, a new law becomes impera- tive or the fishery faces practical extinction ultimately.
 "The acts cited were passed more than IA years ago, when the annual output of the salmon fisheries of Al aska were less than one fifth that Of the present The general law of June 26 was then quite satisfactory. but conditions have changed. As bearing on the permanent need of Alaska fishery legislation, the fol lowing is quoted from the annual report of the United States Com missioner of Fisheries for the fiscal year ended June 30. 1919:a
 Legislation Pending
 For about eight years legisla- tion affecting the fisheries of Alaska has been pending in Congress. Pro tracted hearings have been held, and large amount of data and testi- mony has been presented to the appropriate committees of the two houses. The necessity of radical re. vision of the salmon law has been especially pointed out by various
The Alaska daily empire., 1920-07-29
FISH DEPLETION ALARMS

agencies and persons interested in the welfare of the fisheries in Al aska. and Congressional committees have made favorable reports on bills embodying new legislation.
 "'No new fishery laws have, how ever, been enacted; and the fisheries of Alaska, at the most critical period of their history, remain subject to laws which have been shown to Ee obsolete and inadequate. The Blu reau of Fisheries is thus placed at great disadvantage in administer ing the salmon fisheries of Alaska and can not justly be held account able for conditions, practices and developments which, while having the full sanction of the law, are not necessarily compatible with the per petuation of the supply and in some respects are directly opposed thereto.
 Amendment Advocated
 ""The law of June IA, 1906, pro- hibiting aliens from engaging in the fisheries of Alaska should be amend ed so as to give full force to it's beneficent purposes. The high prices recently commanded by salmon have attracted an unusually large number of persons to the fisheries of Alaska, including many aliens Instances have come to light where persons who renounced their declaration Of intention to become citizens in order to escape the selective draft, and have not since changed their civic status, are claiming or exercising the pririlege of operating independently in the fisheries of Alaska, right that should be restricted to bona fide citizens.
 The chief difficulty in framing new Alaska fishery code, the para mount need of which is agreed to by all. has been in securing the CO., ordination of views among divergent interests. Naturally in territory as vast as Alaska, there are vice variations in the methods of conduct ing the salmon fisheries, and again there are peculiar geographical con ditions. all of which may properly demand consideration Thus 1t at once becomes apparent that the harmonizing of the varied interests

is declining and that exhaustive fishing has characterized the indus try in the last few years. The fact that salmon are anadromous has facilitated development of the indus try by making comparatively easy their capture when the runs come annually to the same regions and streams and wit. slight variations in the course of their approach. For the same reason. depletion of the fishery may easily result, as the salmon, in response to the demands of nature. must go to the streams to spawn. and in so doing they find it more difficult to escape the con stantly increasing quantity of appar- atus employed in catching them and obstructing their ingress to the streams. N
 'The United States Commissioner of Fisheries has but recently ex- pressed the belief that the salmon iVn ol iidShd, pdItiCuidiiy tht southeastern district, have been de- veloped under present conditions to their full productive capacity. In fact, he states that there are reasons to believe that some of the waters have been overfished in a way that may prove harmful until such time as further limitations upon fishing can permit the rehabilitating of the runs to their former strength. The Commissioner states also that in central and western Alaska the sit nation is probably less alarming than it is in the more accessible waters of southeastern Alaska The short streams and the general physical character of the latter region makes it easier to fish more assiduousiy than is possible in some of the more open and exposed central and west ern sections. especially the Bristol Bay region, where natural difficult ties and frequent storms hamper the efforts of the fishermen and give the salmon a better opportunity to pass up stream to the spawning beds No further expansion seems possible at this time without serious encroach- ment upon the supply of salmon. Tn fact further retrenchment is now considered necessary if the salmon

MOTHER GETS. GIRL
GIVEN TO FATHER
INDIVORCE DECREE
Child's Preference Causes JUS
tice Squiers to Disregard
Previous Decision.

The frank. fearless statement Of
pretty little girl of twelve that she
"just wanted to be with. mother"
caused Justice Squiers in Brooklyn
Supreme Court to-day to award the
custody Of her to her mother, Mrs
Dorothy Tostiglione, though a divorce
decree OF 1917 had awarded her to
her father, William Theurer Of ia
malca. Justice Squiers said in court:
ut seems to me a cruel thing to
separate a child from It's mother for
ell time. There is no question of the
child's right to be with her mother,
and, everything else considered. we
must look to the welfare of the child"
He instructed Mrs. Tostiglione, who
lives at No. s12 McDonough Street,
Brooklyn. to get a lawyer and have
papers prepared so he could modify
the decree Of divorce and give her the
custody Of little Dorothy.
Theurer was in court to argue for
a writ of habeas corpus which would
give him permanent possession OF the
child. He stated he had not been aDle
to keep her, though the court had
awarded her to him. She ran away
three times in a year, he said, and
once spent eight months with her
mother before she would return to
him. Mrs Tostiglione obtained from
the Domestic Relations Court some
time ago an order requiring Theurer
to pay 81 weekly for the child's sup
port. After their divorce both parents
remarked.
Though little Dorothy seemed rather
frightened when the court proceed
ings opened, and chung to her mother
she was quite self-possessed when she
was called to the stand and Justice
Squiers talked to her.

RECIPE To CLEAR
A PIMPLY SKIN
PimpIeS arelmpuritieS Seek
ing an Outlet Through
Skin Pores.

Pimples. sores and boils usually
result from toxins. poisons and i'm
purities Which are generated in the
bowels and then absorbed into the
blood through the very ducts which
should absorb only nourishment to
sustain the body.
1t is the function of the kidneys
10 filter impurities from the blood
and cast them out in the form of
Urine, but in many instances the
bowels create more toxins and i'm
lpurities than the kidneys can elm
inate, then the blood uses the skin
pores as the next best means Of
getting rid of these impurities
which often break out all over the
skin in the form of pimples.
The surest way to clear the skin
of these eruptions, says a noted
authority, is to get from any phar-
macy about four ounces of Jad
Salts and take a tablespoonful in
glass of hot water each morning
before breakfast for one week,
This will prevent the formation of
toxins in the bowels. 1t also slim
ulates the kidneys TO normal activ-
ity, thus coaXing them to filter the
tlood of impurities and clearing
the skin of pimples.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harm
less and is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice. combined
with lithia. Here YOU have a pleas
ant, effervescent drink which usu-
ally makes pimples disappear;
cleanses the blood and is excellent
for the kidneys as well.
