NATIONAL FISH DAY

An unusual and interesting feature of Lent this year will be the ob- servauce next Wednesday, March g. of national fish day, this movement having been launched by a national organization of fishermen for the purpose of acquainting the general public with the importance of their calling and the virtues of fish as a food.
 Assisted in their educational cam paign by the cooperation of the fed eral fisheries bureau, they are point ing to the statement of leading dieti- tians who say that Americans eat too much fat and not enough protein, which is the bone and muscle build ing element in foods and which is the principal element of nourishment in fish.
 With "eat more fish for brains, health, economy" as a slogan, the fishermen are outfitting their boats at the principal ocean and lake ports in the states, determined that all records for big landing of fish will be broken in the few days preceding national fish day. They have ap- pointed their own vigilance commit tees, who will visit the retail shops on fish days to see that prices stay at present low levels.
 Sea food dinners featuring fish in every possible form are scheduled to be held in 127 different cities throughout the United States on the night of national fish day. These range in location from Portland, Me. to Seattle, Wash, and from San Diego, Cal. to Jacksonville, Fla. President-elect Harding, a lover of fishing and Vice President-elect Coolidge, who has served as gov ernor of the greatest fish producing state, have been asked to preside oyer the dinner at Washington, D. C., which will be held four days after their inauguration.
 Officials in charge of the program say that the one speaker who is in greatest demand everywhere is Capt. Marty" Welch skipper of the fish ing schooner Esperanto, which won the recent international sailing race. At last reports Capt Welch had not decided where he would appear, but his home folks at Gloucester have threatened to kidnap him if he goes anywhere else on fish day.

1.-THE SENATOR FROM ALASKA"

The interest of Senator Wesley l.. Jones of Washington in the territory of Alaska is manifested in a bill which the senator has introduced in congress, known as Bill No. S-4740 Aids to Navigation in Alaska" !" which provides "for the appropriation of $1S5,000 to establish light and fog signal at or near Cape Spencer; $125,O00 to establish new aids to navigation and improvement to exist ing aids in Alaska; and $S0,O00 for the completing of the lighting depot at Ketchikan."
 This is a most important piece of Alaskan legislation, for with the ter ritory entirely dependent upon ocean vessels for contact with the outside world it is vitally essential that her waters be made and kept safe for navigation.
 The accurate charting and marking of the water areas of the Pacific Coast and particularly those of Alas ka, while known to be vitally neces- sary, has been neglected for many years due to the lack of appropria- tions by congress to carry on the work and Senator Jones is to be highly commended for taking the ini- tiative in having at least some of the necessary money appropriated as provided for in his new bill. Keep up the good work, senator. Speak ing for the people of Alaska, this paper can assure you that your ef- forts are appreciated.
 In passing it might be mentioned that Senator Jones is also the father of the American merchant marine act, frequently called "America's Dec laration of commercial independ- ance," and one of the most forward looking pieces of American legisla- tion introduced in the last decade.
