TO HOOVER FOR
LOCAL HEARING

tion Giving Fishermens
Views on Herring.

AT well attended meeting Of
local fishermen. business and pro-
fessional men held at the City Hail
last night, a resolution was unani-
mously adopted urging Secretary
Hoover to withhold the 1925 her
ring fishing regulations pending an
official inquiry into the matter ana
suggesting requirements agreed upon
as fair to all industries concerned

protection to the fish A committe g
composed of Henry Roden, Paul
neen and II. l.. Faulkner was ap-
pointed by Mayor l. Goldstein, who
presided, to wire both the Secretary
end Delegate Sutherland the action
OF the meeting.
Many fishermen were present and
were eml hattie in their view that
the regulations entailed disaster To
the halibut fishermen and the hall
bat fishing industry. This is par
ticularly true for the next season.
ii was pointed out by Mr.. Jensen
rs none of the Alaska and British
Columbia cold storages have bait
supplies on hand to furnish the
fleets operating to the halibut banks.
With the 10-barrcl limit on, pre-
venting bait fishing operations, the
result is that no bait can be had
when the close season ends February
Is, next, and the fleets Will be
forced to remain in idleness until
tho herring season opens June l.

 Kept Spotlessly Clean
 The company uses for its kilns 75,000 GOO barreis per year, ana employees more than $50 men. All buildings are of concrete and the approach to the plant is over solid concrete driveway. The premises are keut spotlessly clean, flowers are provided in profusion and at every point of vantage employees are reminded of the necessity for safety practice.
 Reporters were told that the plant equipment includes machine shops, car penter shops, blacksmith shop and similar plants necessary at a big op- eration such as the Lehigh Portland plant.
 The employees are also provided with the latest and most modern bath houses and clothes hangers similar to those installed by the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company.
 The company uses for it's kilns 75,500 tons of coal per annum which is bought at Lewisburg and which it is necessary to reduce to powder form so that it may be forced into the burning space of the kilns.
 The manufacture of cement is entirely chemical process, and it was stated that samples are taken of the raw ma terials and the incomplete and the com pleted produce every hour. These samples give a sufficient guide to the operators as they are aware from time to time whether the accepted standard is being maintained.

The WeH- Dressed Man 1.
By Beauaash k MEET oocAsIU,
Al Nerlected Bosom Friend

The garment that the proof of the pudding is on, to misquote Cervantes has been overlooked in the theme of dress for many years. Like the lowly fiddle which became the naughty violin so the plebian vest of our youth turned into the patrician waistcoat of our manhood. However, though it changed its name, it did not change it's charac. ter. A waistcoat went with suit just as trousers do, but up to very recently no attention was paid to it's style, which had hardly varied since it's introduction as an article of mems dress.
 Along came the short:- pointless, dou. le-breasted waistcoat to pair off with the single-breasted, loose fitting coat and full-draped, wide-bottom trousers. Then, the waistcoat began to pat itself on the chest and to feel it had Ear rived" as a garment of style importance. However, the donble-breasted waistcoat of the same material as the coat has al- ready ceased to be, novelty. It was 90 overdone that the inevitable set in, as it does in all extreme fashions, which becoming too fashionable, are not fashionable at. all.
 Nevertheless, the double-breasted waistcoat is being taken up in fancy fabrics of wool or silk or linen, so that the life of this style promises to be appreciably prolonged. SuclI a waist coat, illustrated here, is made of soft cashmere wool either in plain. colors, modest stripes or bolder checks. It has a very low notch collor that leads. into broad, curved lapels. The scyes (arm, holes) are deeply cut away to permit free arm-reach and shoulder-play.
 Where and when may this fancy-pat. tern waistcoat be worn? It may. cor rectly accompany q dark-colored busi. ness or lounge suit, but be sure that it is dark, A light-colored waistsoat under a light-colored coat produces an excess of color that is loud" and dis tinctly bad form. If light color be used in your waistcoat, it should be enl.

, No one has complained. No one will complain, so far as know, that some of the figurantes in a Broadway spectacle are as uncovered as a, brook trout. ] would not have the reader think that the visitor to Show Lane runs the gauntlet of lot of bob-hair Lady Godivas, but those who like to look at the glorified human form can do so, Most of the visions are really beauti- | full, too. They may be suggestive, but | they are not gross.
 This is on Broadway. But down on Houston street, named after Gen. Sam Houston, where in Liberty hall diners once sat at a table decorated with wine siphons which never ran empty, where Lorber began with that good for a : quarter idea which has since become the noisest restaurant on Broadway, where just the other day Di Falco the out lawed-outlawed by the underworld be- cause he hijacked the coke king for thousands of dollars-fought gun duel with four men on the pavement-I could go on talking about Houston street.
 There was reasonably modest variety show in which a girl appeared in a reasonably modest suit of tights. Whereupon the police Morals Squad pinched the works on the general charge of rought stuff. And Magistrate Brod- sky released her.
 There should not be one law for Broadway and another for Houston street," said the judge.
 One recalls the oft-published story os the initial adventure in a ballet danc- ing on Broadway, about the time that Adelina Patti made her first appear ance at Castle Garden. The ballet dancer was from Paris and tights ap- peared beneath the ballet frill.
 So the audience went out. And stayed in the lobby, blushing furiously, until some one loaned the unfortunate lady a pal rof pants.
