The main hall, where we welcome
our guests, may be large Or it may
be small, but probably nothing will
light it as well as an attractive cell
ing fixture squipped with a total Of
from so to 100 watts of lamp bulbs.
If the hall is large enough, we may
add a pair of bracket fixtures on the
wall at either side of pretty mir
ror, or We may use a small table
lamp. When we do this, the lights
should be well shaded, of course, ard
not too bright. Economy suggests
the use of Is Oh 25-watt bulbs.
Upstairs halls or long private halls
are usually best lighted with small
ceiling fixtures equipped with % or
5O-watt bulbs. In many homes, how
ever, bracket fixtures NAV be used
on the walls to give satisfactory
lighting. When the house is wireC,
the lights in the halls should be light
ed from either upstairs or down.
stairs.
The lighting fixtures in the halls
ought to be placed so that they will
light the stairway as well as the
hall. In large homes where the stairs
turn or where there is q landing half
way up, it may be advisable to install
small fixture at the turn to be sure
the stairs are well lighted.
LIGHTING THE OUTSIDE OF
THE HOUSE
Many homes that are being built
now have duplex convenience out
let installed on the porch so that
portable lamps may be used to make
an outdoor living room in pleasant
weather.
In every home some lighting is
needed at the main entrance and 9TH
er doorways for convenience and safe
ty at night. Lanterns of weather
proof metal are commonly used either
as bracket or ceiling fixtures.
The driveway to the garage will
need some light, perhaps from fix.
ture attached to the outside of the
house. The lighting inside the gar
age should be installed so that it may
be lighted either from the house or
the garage. In more elaborate homes
the gateway and drive may be equip
ped with ornamental lanterns or
posts.
For outdoor fixtures a 50-watt bulb
will usually be large enough. How
ever, if large space is to be light
ed. as much as 100 watts may be
needed.
PROPER WIRING
Hidden in the walls of home are
the wires that permit US to enjoy the
comforts of electric service. They are
out of sight and we never think of
them, but they are very important
for they may limit our ability to use
electricity for lighting and for ap-
pliances conveniently.
Every year We add something to
the electric equipment in the home.
! Perhaps this year it is new table
lamp, last year it may have been a
wash machine or a toaster, next year
it may be fan or a curling iron.
Five years ago when the house was
wired, we did not plan for these new
things, and now we remove a lamp
bulb to connect one of them, thus de-
priving ourselves of needed light and
spelling the appearance of the room

Details of its activities in the COM
ing national campaign, of the large
banquet to be given on February 9
in honor of Lincoln's birthday, and of
the formation of an intensive men,
bership campaign were the principal
matters discussed by the officers OF

tion of the District when they met
last night with representatives of the
various state groups at the associa-
tion's headquarters, 734 18th street.
IT was decided to appeal to every
republican temporarily residing in the
District who is entitled to vote In
some state to not only exercise this
privilege, but to work in the interest
of the party.
1t is the purpose of the officers to
make the Lincoln dinner serve as the
1924 campaign in the National Capt.
tai. The President and members of

a card index of the more than $4,000
state voters living here.
Henry NJ. Camp, treasurer of the
association, who in the last national

ganization work in this section for
the republican national committee,

ing laws of all states, both for pri-
mary and general elections. Its

The Alaska fisherman., 1924-05-15

ACConQeQ Dy the 1lSn DaIOnS or AlaSka. They bait the hook and our well meaning but ignor- ant Congressman take the bait, hook and line
 However; two men appeared before the last Congressional hearing who called themselves AL aska fishermen. It was on account of their testimony that Congressmen declared that seines were as bad or worse than traps.
 Mr. l. N. Hylen, of the Alaska Fishermen's Union was the first. Congressman paid mo at tention to the part of his testimony page 21O, which declared that trap fishing should be abol- Ished but they took him at his word when he said purse senes should be abolished, page 215.
 And yet the entire force of his Testimony should be gagged by his statement on page 222: MI. Free, of California asked him, twill you just describe to us purse-seine fisherman, what you do and what happens between the time you put your seine and the fish are put into the boat?"
 Mr. Hylen. @"On the purse seine question l am not so we'll posted because have not Oper. ated seines. l can only judge from under standing of it like you men here" and then he goes on and tells about fishing on Puget Sound, eager Congressmen not realizing that there is no comparison between fishing conditions on Puget Sound and Alaska.
 MT. Hylen Is accepted by COngressmen as authority on fishing in Southeastern Alaska and yet from his own testimony, page 213, the only tin4ez Hylen fished in these parts was "In 1894 l think 1t was, fished up the Stikine River, out of Wrangell, and then we used gill nets for the red. Salmon * Because of the install~ ment of traps all through the coast of south- eastern Alaska the red salmon is entirely gone in that district and the packers have not used any traps on the Stikine River for years and years.' +~.~-:~-
 As matter of fact, gill-net fishing, is regular ly conducted on the Stikine flats every year; purse senes and traps have never been used in the immediate vicinity of this river
 Mr. Hylen advises the use of gill-nets and beach seines only, page 216 As a matter of fact neither method is practical with three four exceptions. Gill-nets can be used at the mouths of the larger streams where the water is muddy, but cannot be used elsewhere to ad- vantage because the water is too clear, the nights too light and too much phosphorescence in the water Beach seines cannot be used cept at the mouths of streams because fish do not school to suit the beach seine elsewhere and also because the shores of these parts are toe steep and rocky.
 " Just who is MT. Hylen? On page 219, he says *'I have been secretary of the Alaska Fish el.nlenS Union since 1902 LID to 1921 and in 1902
The Alaska fisherman., 1924-05-15

we organized. We had about $500 men, practically speaking, all the actual fishermen gill-net fishermen, that go into Alaska
 Page 221; MT. Free. Do just gill net fisher men belong to this Union or do purse seine fishermen belong to it, too?
 MT. Hylen. Trap fishermen, gill net fisher men-We have no purse seine fishermen.
 MT. Larsen Tell us how long it takes to operate that seine, how long it takes to throw that seine around and how long it takes you to take it up?
 MT. Hylen. Wel maybe it will take some times, ten minutes to throw it around, and it would take ten fifteen minutes to haul it up, and 1t would take a couple of hours to get it ready for action again.
 MT. Larsen. Assuming that it takes two hours then, how many hours do you work out of the 24; do you work the whole 24?
 MT. Hylen. Sometimes, if there is a school of fish, have stayed up sometimes 48 hours at one stretch
 The trouble with Hylen is that he is trying to tell of purse seine fishing by going on his experi- ence as gill netter No seiner could possibly fish at any time except during day light hours. It cannot be done for the simple reason that we have to the fish above the water before we make a set. Gill netters can fish 48 hours at one stretch when the of fish warrant because in muddy water and the tide favorable fish striking all the time at some portion of the gill net
 In an article of this kind, it is impossible to point out the very numerous instances of abso- lute ignorance that Hyen exhibits for the edi- ficatiOn of Congressmen. -.=
 MT. Free asks him. page 221, How long are the nets (purse seines) ? and Hylen answers. "Oh, they vary; ;I do not know how long they have them now It is a long time since I was purse-seine outfit,' and few minutes later this same "expert" says, ''On the purse-seine ques- ton I am not so we'll posted, because 4have not operated purse seine"
 Andrew Furuseth also corroborated the testi- mony of Hylen on the matter of purse seines, but his testimony should be thrown out for on page 3O7 he says, Personally I have never used a purse seine and have never been member of crew that used it, so that I have no practical perience in purse seining He should add that he has never done any kind of fishing in South eastern Alaska.
 When Congress is willing to subpoena fisher men to testify, they will get the truth. They will never find out about Southeastern Alaska by calling gi-netters from Bristol Bay, or trap owners who are forced to deceive Congressnen OF see their traps abolished at once.
