Last August she was operated on in St.Ann's hospital in Juneau, and had another operation there on February II. On Tuesday of last week Dr. $. C..

Use of Salmon by
 Fox Farmers in Alaska

In the regulations issued December II and 16. 1922, for the Alaska Pen insla Fisheries Reservation and the Southwestern Alaska Fisheries Res eryation, is a provision as follows
 FOX farmers may take and
 prepare salmon for fox feed in
 all legal ways, but must secure
 permits from the Secretary of
 Commerce"
 The bureaus representatives il. the 'ar4ous uIstrIcls oL -Aiasha nave oeen auIuorlLeu tu reueIye ana paso uenLs Tor ,IsuIug operations upon d snlaII scaIe, Ill Wnlcn class fishing 10 cIuueu.
 Inquiries made during the past sea- son uy representatives o1 the Bureau oI tlsherIes ueYeloped the Iact tna, consIueraDle quantities ot salmon are used TOT toX Iced, the chlet species being numpDacks. Most oI the nsa are apparently purchased from com merclaI fishermen, but i'll some cases the toX ranchers do their own fishing. slraDle to emphasize the point that such nshIng is commercial anu b suDJect to all the restrictions impos- ed by the law and regulations. Fish uIg on the spawning beds and with in the streams in order to supply IOa ranches is just as much a violation ol the law as if the catch were destined TOT cannery. Compliance with all ul the restrictions imposed on fishing b necessary to conserve the supply uI salmon by allowing natural repro auction, since there is no more cer- tain method of eXterminating the salmon than by taking them on the spawning beds. Fox farmers are urged to aid in preserving the supp! Dy seeing that the fish that they Use are not taken within the protected waters.
 Some anxiety seems to have been felt in some quarters lest the efforts of the Bureau for the protection ol the fishery resources of Alaska would work undue hardship upon fox farmers. On the contrary, it Is not the intention of the Bureau oI Fisheries to place any handicap upon the fur farming industry of Alaska, but to cooperate on every way in it's proper development. It is felt that this end will be attained through better understanding on the part ol the fox farmers of the real need for protection of the fisheries and the methods through which the conser- vation of the salmon may be secured. cured

 Jaffa is famous throughout the east for it's sweet and luscious oranges which rival those of California and Florida.

Most of the members of the large German colony that was here before the war have returned, and they are the only serious competitors of the Jewish fruit growers and city merchants.

CAPITAL FROM AMERICA
 WILL REBUILD ANGORA
British Merchants Giving Much At- tcntion to Economic Inya-
 sion of Turkey.

Constantinople, March 30.-British commercial interests are giving
 much attention to the efforts oi concessions from the Kemalist gov ernment. The Federation of British Industries, in letter to it's members. points out the growing activities of American capitalists at Angora and urges them not to overlook this eco- homie invasion of Asia Minor.
 The federation mentions the so- called Chester project for the con- struction of Angora as ia modern capital, and says the plan calls for the building of an entirely new town quite independent of the old capital. The city is to be constructed on wholly modern lines, embodying elec- tric supply, telephones, broad ave- nues, skyscrapers, modern drainage and water supply and new govern ment buildings.
 Another American concern, it is stated, has made a proposal for the erection in different places in Ana tolia of special workshops for the manufacture and repair of agricul- tural implements. To put this scheme into operation it is proposed to float Turkish company. 90 per cent of whose capital would be sup piled by Americans and the remain der by Turks, while the personnel of the factories would be recruited from native labor. This proposal, it is said, has already been adopted in principle by the ministry of national economy.

NEW TITLES ADDED
 ID 1923 PROGRAM !.
Three National Tennis Champion
 ship Events Added

New York, March 3o--Three ma tlonal tennis championship events, in volving six titles in singles ant doubles, have been added to the 192; court program of the United States Lawn Tennis Association.
 The addition of these events-th, national interscholastic. municipal and girls hard court championships increases to 36 the total number of titles at stake this year, figure which represents the greatest nrra, of national championships in the his. tory of the net game and gives fur. ther proof of the rapid development of the sport.
 The national interscholastics arc being revived by the U. s. l.. T. A, this year after a lapse since 1915. The other two tournaments, however, are innovations and promise to widen apprec1ably tho scope of the court game.
 Particular interest is attached to the municipal tournament. Encour- agement of public court playing is one of the features of this years
 
 Dwight F. Davis, donor of the inter- national team trophy and president of the U. s. l.. T. A. Mir. Davis was pioneer in the development of the municipal game in St. Louis.
 Local and regional tournaments are planned as preliminaries to the national municipal championships with the idea that leading players in all sections of the country may thus be selected to compete for the na- tional titles.
 The interscholastics, which prob- ably will be held in connection with the intercollegiate championships, were first started in 1891. The list of victors until the tournament was dropped in 1915 reveals some of the most prominent names in American tennis history, a fact which has in- fluenced officials in restoring the tournament as one means of develop ing new talent.
 k. D. Wrenn, national singles champion in 1896 and 1897 and for mer president of the Y. S. l.. T. A., won the first interscholastic title in 1891. Other prominent players who captured the championship on their way to greater fame included Beals c. Wright, national champion in 1905; Maurice F. Mclaughlin, na- tional champion in 1912 and 1913; Irving c. Wright. NathanielSW. Niles, ! Wallace Johnson, George M. Church

and Karl Behr. The last tournament in 1915, was won by Herald Throck- morton.
 The list of other championship events on this years record calendar includes: Mems and Women's sin- glcs and doubles on indoor. clay and turf courts; veterans singles and doubles on turf; intercollegiate sin- glcs and doubles; juniors and boys singles and doubles on turf and in- door courts; girls singles and doubles on turf: mixed doubles on indoor, clay and turf courts; and fathers and sons doubles.

AMERICAN SAILORS
 AFTER SOUVENIRS
Jalla Rapidly Assuming Charac-
 ter Of U. s. City

Jaffa, Palestine, March 30. (By Associated Prtss) famous as tho refuge of Jonah before he was swallowed by the whale, Is assuming the aspect of an American city Large numbers of Jews from the United States have come here and established stores, schools, cinemas and syna- gogues on the American plan. Am- erican newspapers and magazines of the current month arc on sale, and small manufactured articles with the stamp Made in the U. s. A." are plentiful and reasonably moderate in price. Many patriotic and devout Jews, seeking the homeland and rcli- gious shrine of their fathers. are here to spend the rest of their years in quiet and retirement. Others have set up in business with mopey made in America. Along the streets one sees familiar American signs like Israel Jonas. Tailor;" Samuel Levy, Stationer;" Isaac Sachs, Pawnbrok- err" Joseph Kahn, Butcher" etc.
 Jaffa is now regular port of call for American torpedo destroyers in Mediterranean waters But the eX- posed rcadstead and dangerous sub merged rocks frequently force the commanders to put in at the more sheltered port of Haifa, 100 miles north. Almost any day the stores Of Jaffa may be seen full of American iack-tars purchasing souvenirs of the Holy Land, religious articles, or some of the famous Jaffa oranges or Jordan almonds.
 Excellent Stone Road
 An excellent stone road built by the Turks and improved by the British forces leads through the historic hills of Judea to Jeru- salem. The American sailors, if their resources permit, usually make up parties and go to Jerusalem and in automobiles. The rail- road connecting Jaffa and Jerusalem | is little used by visitors, for the 40- mile trip can be made much more faster and cheaper by motor car. Thousands of light Am arican-made cars have been brought To the larger cities, and one might almost imagine himself to be in De- .roit or Indianapolis.
 Along the plains of Sharon and through the hills of Judea are scat cred British concentration camps, with here and there cemetery of white wooden crosses as a memorial
