SEA TRAVEL MAY BECOME
 CHEAPER AND PLEAsANTER

LIVERPOOL. May 25, (AP)- The policy of the United States in restricting the inflow of emigrants under quota system, coupled with high building costs. is likely to cause the development of new branch of travel and the building of new type of liner, according to Harold A. Sanderson chair man of the White Star Line, writing in that com pany's magazine
 Mir Sanderson says extensive thrd-class bus of fleets of the principal companies eliminating in super-liners of today with standard of comfort classes unequalled any other trade in the world.
 "But,' he continues "the restriction the emigration movement has reduced the volume of travel that, coupled with high building and oper- ating costs construction of further steamships of monster type in the future in reudered problematic. Steamship companies may be ex. pected to restrict their building program to ves- sles of moderate speed and size, with less ornate present standard of comfort hrst-class pass engers to institute improvements in the amenities for second and third class"
 Special attention will be given to steamers oi cabin and third class type. and the needs of the third class passengers will be studiously and in creasingly considered in order to develope a new branch of travel which will offset, to some extent the restriction of migrant trahc.

 One get idea of the fortunes that have been made in blue fox farming in Alaska within the past five years when it is known that Alas kan who running shooting gallery at Juneau and whose profit would him three dollars day. bought a pair blue foxes four years ago. His profits from fox farming last year amounted thirty-fve thousand dollars.
 That is only case there scores of similar cases where greater fortunes have been made in that industry in the length of time.
 But it would be no mistake for Nebraska farm anyone else from the States. to AL aska for the purpose of making fortune in hurry at fox farming.
 The reason becomes quite patent when it is known that all the desirable islands which are used for the purpose. have been taken up. and furthermore. the has been taken from the bre' ness
 The that those engaged in the fox farm ing business within the last five have become walthy is because they raised blue for breed- ing purposes and they received from three to four hundred dollars pair. But those who would en- gage in fox farming raise the animals for their belts only if they would be successful.
 While much money be made at that. yet no such profits be reaped have been made in the past few years at fox farming in Alaska.
 After several years of patient endeavor the Southeastern Alaska fox farmer the rea- zation that their section is fitted cimatically for the raising of blue fox belts. for the blue fox pelts offered for sale in fur sales brought average of s60.0O. while blue foxes. trapped from the wds of Seward Peninsula brought from s1ooo0 to s125,0o per pelt. So it would seem that the blue fox farmer of the future, to realize the greatest profits from his endeavors, ect site somewhere Seward Peninsula. or in similar climate. and there is reason to doubt that Seward Peninsula will shortly become the ter of the blue fox industry of Alaska.

Wanrpunn Accepted as

days the white settlers manufactured
Indian money, but in the New Jersey
mint they introduced methods of high
finance with surprising effects upon the
native currency.
Labor-saving machinery was opera
ted by water power for turning out
wampum wholesale. 1t was freely ac-
cepted by the Indians throughout the
country, who refused to use the coun-
terfeit wampum. however cleverly imi.
tated with glass or composition. One
of the proprietors of the old wampum
mint claimed that the first John Jacob
Astor laid the foundation Of his great
fortune by buying this wampum and
exchanging it with the Indians for

PITY IN BIRD LIFE
RARELY DISPLAYED
Feothered Creatures, When
Hurt, Left to Die Alone.

"There Is not much sympathy to be
found in wild nature. If bird meets
with a mishap it is usually left to get
over it without any assistance from its
companions. When a bird is taken i'll
and expects to die you will not find its
mate standing by to console with it,
but the suffering creature will just
stink away to place of hiding In
which to meet the end, while the bird
which is left will very soon find a new
companion. But ] have come across a
few instances where sympathy was
shown. When birds are mated after a
short courtship the male is most at
tentiye TO his newly won wife and will
almost starve himself to offer tit-bits
TO her" writes Oliver G. Pike in the
London Mail.
'@rhe beautiful male bullflnch is one
of the best of husbands. A pair of
these birds attempted to nest in my
garden last spring. The first nest came
to an untimely end and second was
built. When this contained young al
most ready to fly heard the two par
ents calling out in great distress.
hurriedly climbed up the steep bank
leading TO the nest in thick hedge.
but | was just TOO late, for stoat
dashed from the nest and disappeared
In the thick underground. Three of
the young had been eaten, while the
fourth was dead outside the nest.
"For days afterward the hen bull
finch sat on twigs in the garden look
ing most disconsolate, and it was
rather beautiful to see the male offer
her choice morsels, which he continu-
ally searched for. 1t seemed as IL he
was doing his best to cheer her up, and
1t gave me much pleasure when l
found out that he had succeeded. For
at the end Of the week they began a
third nest, and with this they were
successful in rearing a family.
"It Is only natural. however, for a
bird to assist its mate during the time
of courtship. 1t Is In the winter
months, when each bird has to fight its
own battle in the grim search for food,
that sympathy is rare. 1 have known
only one instance Of this.
"In my garden there was a large
dog kennel with a fiat roof. During
the winter months the tablelike top
was utilized as larder for the birds.
Many kinds visited us and 1t was sell
dom that the table was unoccupied.
One morning new visitor appeared
and she was cripple. This great tit
had one leg missing and she had some
trouble In balancing her body as she
picked up the food.
"The sparrows, for some reason, OBJ
jected to the presence of this injured
bird and drove her off. She made
many attempts to obtain meal, but
the others prevented her.
"The next morning she brought with
her another great tit and again the
sparrows tried to drive her away. In
a flash the second great tit set about
them, fought the whole flock and kept
the board clear while the crippled bird
obtained good meal. On each sue
ceeding visit this birdland knight ac-
companied her, and such respect did
the sparrows have for his fighting
powers that she afterward obtained
her food in. peace"

"Fishing" Made Easy

An ideal stream for the lazy or i'm
patient fisherman, who Graves nourish-
ment rather than the thrill of the
catch, has been discovered by Interior
department engineers in the inacces-
sible, turbid San Juan river, one of
the main tributaries Of the Colorado in
Utah. The swiftly flowing San Juan,
called Pawhuska (mad water) by the
Navajo Indians who live nearby, never
gets clear and sometimes 1t carries
three times as much silt as water. At
times the river runs with a smooth
oily movement like that of molten
metal, so red and viscous Is it with
silt. At such times the fish become ex-
hausted and founder on the surface,
their dorsal fms projecting into the air.
Then the fisherman needs only to arm
himself with club and wade cautious
ly into the mud to catch a fish with
bare hands after he has stunned it
with a blow.
