LITTLE CHANGE in PHYSIQUE
Report That Average Stature Of Amer
lean Men Was Affected by War
Declared Untrue.

The wholesale clothing manufacture
ers assert that there has not been any
change in the size Of their garments
since the war. They are manufactur-
ing more garments, but the proportion
of larger sizes is no greater now than
1t was three years ago. In short, their
size patterns have not changed. Yet
changes would be necessary If the stat
ure of American men had been affect
ed in any appreciate way by the year
and a half or two years of military
training.
Manufacturers Of re~ady-to-wear
shirts and undergarments agree with
the clothing manufacturers that there
has been no change in their size pat
terms despite the reports Of numerous
individuals who take "a size larger"
today than they did before the war.
AS one manufacturer put it, the pro-
portion of soldiers who need larger
sizes in shirts or suits today than they
did two years ago is so small that it
has no effect on wholesalers. Sales
men naturally remember certain indi-
vidual cases Of increased chest develop
ment, but, taking the country by and
large, there has been no appreciate
change in the physique Of the male
portion Of the population, at least as
far as their clothing is concerned.

Throw Leaders in Jail.
But" said this official, "far from
closing its eyes to strikes, the gov
eminent seems to have a very sum-
mary way with them. In fact, it has
a way which would not be attempted
in Anglo-Saxon countries.
1.-THE military promptly clap the
leaders Of the strike into Jail, and it
naturally dies down after that.
1.-THE only trouble I saw in Madrid
vas a lockout by the employers
against the employees in the build.
ing trades.
1T lasted in Spain for weeks and
weeks before 1t was finally settled.
II asked the Spaniards what would
happen if there a big national
strike of railway men.
"The response was that most of
the %railroaders were of military age;
that they would be promptly called
back to the c%olors; that they would
be enrolled in regiments of railway
engineers and put back to work on the
railways-not as employees of the
roads, but as soldiers of the nation.
Whether such a drastic program would
be carried out I do not know, but it
was discussed quite freely.
Business men told me there was
not as much unrest in Spain as there
vas in England, France and America.
Spain Is suffering from the same
malady all civilized countries are suf-
fering from-high cost of living and
a consequent insistent demand made
by the working class for much higher
wages. The same vicious circle is
being gone through with in SPAIN"
Sees Business Growth.
He said he found business men in
Madrid, Spanish, English and French,
preparing to invest their money in
very large Spanish projects, which
was the best sign that no serious
trouble was looked for.

have a cynical saying that the revo-
luton is always going to happen to-
morrow, but that tomorrow never
comes.
"Of course, there is dissatisfaction
in the industrial cities, but 80 per

live in the cities, but are peasant
farmers, loyal to church and king, and
for the most part Indifferent to poll.

"~Windiammers' in Vanguard Of

RECORD CATCH NOT EXPECTED
Many Alaska C~anneries Plan to Re-

and Others May Not
Open at All.

Seattle Wash. - Big full-rigged
"windjammers," some famous as
American clipper ships long ago, al
ready are spreading their sails and
heading for Alaska, the vanguard of
summer salmon fleets which 60 north
every year to work with the scores of
fish canneries that dot northern har-
bors and inlets.
Dozens of other craft, steamers, gas
boats, barges and tugs, are going north
with the sailing ships. Before winter
they will all come blowing back with
this years fish catch canned and
packed and stored In their holds.
No record salmon catch is expected
this year, according to reports from
Alaska. Most of the southeastern
Alaska canneries expect to reduce
their pack this year from one-third
to one-half normal and several will
not operate at all. One cause for the
cut is the fact that all of last years
pack has not been sold. Low markets
are given as another reason.
Short Catch Last Year.
AlaSka's salmon output last veal was
4,592,201 cases, the smallest since
1915. The high-water mark of Alaska's
salmon years came in 1918, when, in
response to a war call for food, the
canneries sent 6,667, 500 cases out.
Most of the salmon are packed in
southeastern Alaska, a strip of terri
tory that juts south between northern
British Columbia and the Pacific
ocean. Last year southeastern Alaska
fisheries turned out 3,10S,364 cases,
against 775,557 from central Alaska
and 70S,2S0 from far western Alaska
points. The central Alaska plants ex-
tend from Cape st. Elias westward to
the Alaska peninsula. The far west
ern plants are on the shores of Bristol
bay and the Boring sea.
About 125 salmon canneries we're
operated in Alaska last year by nearly
ninety companies. Several big con-
Germs operated more than one plant,
the Alaska Packers association lead
ing with ten. Libby, Mcneil & Libby
were second with nine. The North
western Fisheries company operated
seven and the Pacific American Fish
cries company four.
Many from Puget Sound.
Nearly all the boats of the fishing
fleets sail north from Puget Sound,

Sail for North

Northwestern company boats winter
here, the Libby boats riding in the
fresh water of Lake Union. The Pa
cifc American company operates from
Bellingham. Portland. South Bend,
Everett, Olympia, Astoria, Anacortes
and other ports send their share of

Five or six thousand men are going
north to spend the summer working
at the fisheries. In the fall they will
come back with the boats and the
catch. For several weeks passenger
steamers running to Alaska have been
carrying capacity lists Of cannery en-
ployes. The Northwestern and the

subsidiaries of the Booth Fisheries
company, will use 1900 men in the
