Dr. J. H. Romig was educated by the Moravian church and had his school ing in Philadelphia; graduated in 1896 and married Miss Ella Mae Erwin of Wilkesbarre, Pennsylvania, and shortly thereafter sailed for Alaska on the Alaska Commercial Company's steamer Bertha. He sailed from Una laska on the schooner Pearl to the Kuskokwim, where he remained seven years, and during that time was the only medical man on the coast from St. Michael to Kodiak, and had to cover the region from the Yukon to Bristol Bay. During this period he forwarded the first news and official mail announcing the discovery of gold at Nome. He made many trips over this section of the coast as superin- tendent of the Moravian Missions.
 Mt. Romig, just east of Bethel, was named after him by the Spur and Post geodetic survey party. In 1904 he was sent to the Bristol Bay dis

During the fire he was acting assistant sur geon of the California National Guard under Major Hanna and in charge oi the First Reserve Hospital at Cough and Eddy Streets.
 Losing all, he returned to Alaska with his family, and lived on the Nushagak river for three years, dur ing which time he was United States Commissioner. In 1909 he was ap- pointed Superintendent of Schools and Physician for the Bureau or Eau cation for the Southwestern District of Alaska. Through his efforts ana the influence of Judge Glover or the Department of Justice, the Floating Court was established. In 19lO ne was Chief Special Agent for the Cen- SIS. Second Division of Alaska.
 In 1913 Dr. Romig was stationed at Seward in charge of the surgical Worh for the Alaska railroad, and slnce that date has been stationed at Nena- na Fairbanks and is now i'll charge of the Anchorage hospital, where he attends to the surgical work for the entire railroad.
 Dr. Romig is widely known all over western Alaska, not only for the good work he has done, but for being the pioneer surgeon in point Of years or service in Alaska.

Aleutian group, 1,259 miles west of Prince Rupert-the farthest point from which halibut has ever been brought to that port.
 Hallbut fishermen, providing the price paid them was fair, in compari- son to what they receive in Prince Rupert and Ketchikan, by disposing of their catch at the local plants, could make probably three or four more trips to the banks, where if they made the long run south, a big ex- pense accrues in time lost, icing and in general expense. From the local plants the fish would be shipped di- rect to the southern markets.
 Providing the transportation of the thousands of tons of fresh halibut from these banks can be made to Seattle thru the local plants it would mean this district would forge ahead with great strides. The new fishing banks are practically as close to Seattle as to Prince Rupert and railway trans porttation is quicker from Seattle to New York and Chicago than it is from Prince Rupert to those points
 It is reported that the United States tariff commission now has under con- sideration the request of the Canadian government for a reduction of the tariff on halibut shipped into the United States.
 During the past season at the Port lock plant, progress has been satis- factory, MT. Kildall said, by next spring the company will be in posi- tion to start operating. It is planned to begin operations by first packing codfish; later summer herring will be packed, and also salmon will be mild cured providing trollers can be ob- tained. It is believed a twelve months a year fishing industry can be suc- cessfully carried on, under the pres ent plans of the company.
 MT. Kildalrs company has six cod fish stations in the Aleutian Islands, and it is their intention to give these stations to fishermen who, in turn will ship their catches to the Portlock plant where they will be prepared into finished products ready for the mar kets of the world.

THIS REGION IS LOGICAL POINT
 HALIBUT FLEET

Referring to the discovery of new halibut banks ir the Aleutian Islands which may again make Seattle a clear ing house for the vast amount of hal ibut caught in the North Pacific, Jo- seph Kildall, president and general manager of the Alaska Consolidated Fisheries, Inc, a business visitor in Seward, states that this plant at Port lock with a storage capacity of one and one-half million pounds, together with the facilities at the local San Juan cold storage plant, the two local concerns should be right in line for handling the catches of this and the Westward districts.
 Most of the halibut are caught on the present banks, the Portlock banks, reputed to be the largest in the world. The U. s. Coast and Geodetic survey bulletin reports there are 1000 square miles of fishing banks at a depth rang ing from forty to seventy fathoms deep, and 10000 square miles of banks ranging from forty to 125 fathoms deep. The halibut from the Portlock banks are landed at Prince Rupert and shipped to American markets via the Canadian National railways. The British Columbia port captured this business because of it's close proxi- mity to the fishing grounds, being much closer than Seattle.
 Eighty thousand pounds of halibut were recently landed at Prince Rupert by the American fishing vessel Scan dia of Seattle, which vessel was in Seward some time ago. The fish were caught south of Unimak Island in the

Urges Continuation of
American Legion Sports

Charles w. Paddock, of Los Angeles,
sprint champion, who has been called
"the worlds fastest human" is inter-
ested in world athletics" With
Loren Murchlson he started recently
to tour the world under the auspices
of many athletic associations and gov
ernments to create more definite in
terest in track and field competition.
Speaking of the value of athletics In
promoting world peace, Mr.. Paddock
said:
''In ancient times, the several Greek
states were brought into a bond Of
fellowship surpassed by no similar in
ternational treaty that exists today.
And if those people could accomplish
this through the spirit of sport, more
than two thousand years ago, it would
seem that in this enlightened age, the
whole world might come to share
similar feeling.
1.-THE American Legion, for example,
has fostered sport increasingly since its
creation and a continuation of this
same policy will greatly increase our
percentage of athletes, remove the
spirit that creates war and will hasten
the day when men the world over can
say, We are brothers,

Legion Aids in Finding
Places for Unemployed

During the past year no fewer than
100000 men found employment
through the federal government work
ing in cooperation with state agencies
and the American Legion, according
to report by the United States en-
ployment service of the Department
of Labor at Washington.
In states not having public employ
ment service to cooperate with the
federal government, liaison is main
tanned between the "jobless man and
the manless job" through the agency
of the Legion.
Unskilled day labOrers and trained
executives alike secured jobs through
the government and its allied agen-
cies.
A Legion service official, comment
ing on the work of finding men jobs,
said:
THE finding of employment for men
out of work Is q necessary public
function. Nothing on earth is so I'M
portant to man as a job. AS 1t Is,
too little attention is paid to the as
sembling and distribution of human
labor"

SKILLFUL LIARS

WHETHER or not David was right
W in his cOnfessedly snap Judgment
when he asserted that all men are
liars, am not sure. Certainly there
is a good deal to lead one to that con-
clusion. Notwithstanding the preva-
lence of the practice, there are precious
few who do it well, and most of these
are not young. Ultimately, like chick
ems, lies all come home to roost.
Some one has said that "Only a
woman can lie with an honest look"
and here, too, / shouldn't want
to be quoted, for If it is true,
far be it from me to be the
one to give it publicity. l have
had little TO do with women in situa-
tions where skillful lying would have
been an advantage, but I've known
good many men who tried it, and most
Of them did it badly. Perhaps the
reason was that most of these were
young men who had not been at ii
great while.
Very few young people whom | have
known lie deliberately. or with malice
afOrethought. They do it on the i'm
pulse TO get out of hole, to save their
faces, or to avoid unpleasantness, and
doing it thus, they give the fact away.
"Did you give Paul the message |
asked you to do yesterday" l inquire
of Tom.
Yes" he answers, though he hasn't
done so at all. He means to rush over
and perform the delayed duty as soon
as he gets out of my office and homes
to keep my faith in his reliability by
lying. He does not realize that | have
already seen Paul and am quite aware
of his neglect.
| was questioning Hatton the other
day about matter in which he was
pretty surely concerned.
Il had nothing to do with it, dean"
he assured me, positively. You are
quite unjust even to ask me, or 10
question my integrity"
He said it all with much heat and
force and perfervid assurance-with
SO much more in fact than the occasion
warranted that l was quite sure he
was lying. If the liar who hesitates
gives himself away and is lost, so. too.
the bold staggering liar is equally
apparent. His over-enthusiasm be-
comes at once suspicious.
If there is no perfect crime, as has
been pretty well demonstrated lately,
there are few perfect liars. Try as they
will, there is always trail left behind
them. Besides being wrong. it's I'm.
wise. You'll always be found out.

LIFE'S TRAIL

BY THESE THINGS MEN
GROW

TT WAS Isaiah, believe, who, watch
ing the children of Israel toiling
and struggling under oppression, gave
expression to the statement, by
these things men grow"
1t is true of men and nations, that
they grow and thrive most who have
to take responsibility, to bear burdens;
to make sacrifices. The soft, easy
berth is not good for most of us.
Milton dropped in to see me yester-
day. He's been out of college five
years. He's been satisfied to do hir
work well, he's earned a fair salary
and spent it. but he has never taken
things seriously.
Il have a new job offered to me-"
he said. IT'S a difficult one; it In
wolves a lot of hard work and lot Of
responsibility. If take it, l shall
have to blaze my own trail pretty
much, and 1 may get lost in the noun
tains. What do you think?"
SIS there a future in it?"
Eyes, if l make good. You see, I've
had an easy time so far. I've never
thought much, I've never sacrificed
any, I've never had lot of respon-
sibilitY"
You'll never amount to much" /
said, until you experience some Of
these things"
Down the street from me is young
fellow trying to get an education and
a start in the world. He runs a deliv-
cry wagon. He's up in the morning
before four, and l hear his engine
whirring as he drives by the window
of my sleeping room. / settle down
for two or three hours of sleep after
he goes by. He is back for breakfast
before eight and then off to his college
classes.
Don't you ever sleep?' l ask him.
ooh, yes, occasionally when there is
nothing else to be DONE" he answers
quite cheerfully.
He has strong physique, a healthy
body, and will and determination to
carry him beyond all his difficulties.
By these things men grow.
Arnold was a slender, irresponsible
child, ported and coddled until he was
sixteen. Then his father died and he
had to go to work. For a good while
there was nothing but hard work, and
heavy responsibility, and sacrifice
ahead of him. He had wanted a good
education, but there was no more
schooling for him.
Il thought for a time that l was
laboring under great misfortune" he
said to me once, but l can see now
that having to go to work and to make
sacrifices was the best thing that ever
happened to me. l learned self-re-
lance; 1 got knowledge of men; l
was forced to save money; could not
afford to get discouraged. 1t was the
making of me-"
Too many of our children today are
given little opportunity for growth.

Athelstan's Whiskers
Busy British Admirers

Malmesburg, Wiltshire, England
The authorities of this city have set
themselves the task of ascertaining the
color and cut of the whiskers worn by
old King Athelstan, who died in 925.
They have looked through ancient
books, studied statues and pored over
archives, but up to the present time
with no success. They are not dis
couraged, however, and the search is
still going on.
A fund has been subscribed for the
erection of stained-glass portrait to
ing Athelstan in the town hall. Ii
seems Athelstan drove out the Danes
1000 years ago and the people of
Malmesburg want TO commemorate
his act. Hence they want TO know
what he looked like, in order that his
portrait might do him honor.
