INTERIOR DECORATOR IS CALLED
 DESECRATOR OF AMERICAN HOMES

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 2S-The in terior decorator and Illuminating en- gineer are destroying art in the Amer ican home, declares E. W. Redfield, noted painter and vice-president of the Art Club of Philadelphia.
 "The term interior desecrator' or 'devastator' would perhaps be more appropriate" MT. Redfield said en- phatically. "The situation has come to a point now where interior decor ated' apartments are rented with the stipulation that no pictures must hang on the walls.
 "The result is that the average Americans place of residence has be- come an affair of monotonous walls, in the center of which, where one would expect to find paintings, cleo tric light fixtures greet the eye.
 "The business man of today has perhaps left too much to the self, constituted authority of the 'desecra- tors.' Therefore at the end of tire some day he comes home, throws him. self into an easy chair, to contem,

koYUkUk GRUB IS SHORT;
 MUST HAUL FROM AlATNA

Recent arrivals in Nenana from the Koyukuk district report ser ious shortage of provisions in the far northern camp, such as seriously handicap mining operations. This shortage, it is explained, resulted from the inability of the steamer Teddy H. to reach the upper koyu- kuk river on the last trip of the sea- son. The boat was compelled by 10" water to discharge cargo at Alatna, considerably more than 100 miles below the Koyukuk mining district and residents of that section are compelled, in consequence, to haul their supplies up the river that dis tance, which adds greatly to their cost
 The situation has been further com plicated by the removal of the only horses in, the camp to the Chadlar district, early in the season, dogs now affording the only means or tranSpOrtatlOn.
 The arrivals state that number of important articles of food are listed among the shortages, flour being one item. This scarcity of supplies will not result in any suffering, for Kus- kokers are resourceful oldtimers and if they must go without one article of food, they will manage to get along on something else, if necessary. But winter mining will be held back by the shortage, for not many oper- ators in that district feel inclined to work their ground under the cir cumstances. The cost of supplies there under normal conditions, is all but prohibitive.

plate, not the restful beauties of a work of art, but the fantastic curley- kews of an imitation bronze fixture that should be relegated to the unob- trusive parts of the room instead of being given the optical center
 q do not believe that this has any effect on painting as a whole, for there are always art lovers to buy paintings, but the man to whom fine art would be godsend is having all his chances of appreciation of things really beau tiful destroyed by this foolish cult of the interior decorator"

NelUs Letter
 From Seattle

SEATTLE, Dec 29-A meeting of representatives of twenty one of the leading salmon fishing and canning companies of Southeastern Alaska was held in Seattle December 20 to take action looking to the future of the fishing and canning industry of that section. Those present repre- sented forty active canning plants in Southeastern Alaska After discus sion of present conditions and of the needs for the future committee was appointed to draft telegram to Hon. Herbert Hoover, Secretary of Con- merce at Washington. The commit tee reported the following statement, which was wired to Secretary Hoover over the signature of the 21 represen- tatives:
 At meeting of the undersigned canners representing majority of the interests engaged in salmon pack ing in Southeastern Alaska, it was unanimously resolved that immediate action should be taken for the con- servation of salmon and the regulation of fisheries by any means which in your judgment may be necessary at this time, covering the section oi Alaska lying east of fifteen degrees west longitude, to perpetuate the sup ply of fish. It was unanimously agreed by all the undersigned packers pres ent at the meeting that each would be willing tc accept an equitable ad- justment of their 1923 pack pending the establishment of reservation and an adequate allotment which will per init of a proper escapement of salmon to the spawning grounds. Unless def mite action is taken and proper noti- fication published immediately the run of fish will be seriously depleted in 1923 as preparations are now being made for materially increased pack and consequent excessive catch of fish"

JUDGE ALLEN TALKS
IN A LOCAL Church
Woman Candidate For Su-
preme Court Speaks In
Congregational
Church

Mss Florence E. Allen, OF Cleve-
land, judge of the common pleas court
of Cuyahoga county and an independ-
ent candidate for the supreme court
of Ohio, spoke at the Congregational
church Sunday evening. A large con-
gregation was present and listened
to her with interest.
Miss Allen did not come to make a
political speech, the proprieties of the
day and her judicial position alike
forebidding. She spoke on "The Su-
preme Challenge without any refer
ence to politics. The supreme chal-
lenge to which Miss Allen referred
is that coming to Christian men and
women to bring into the state and it's
management those principles of right
they put into their private lives. Fail
ure so to do in the past has been the
cause of bad, weak and inefficient gov
ernment, for it is an axiom the peo-
pie have no better government than
that they demand.
Judge Allen gave some interesting
and pointed illustrations gathered in
the course of her experience as a
practising lawyer and as a Judge. She
is pleasing, forceful speaker, using
few or no gestures.
In the audience that heard Miss
Allen were considerable number of
lawyers Of the community and county
including court officers to whom Miss
Allen is known by reputation.
