SEWERS MALICNED

In last months Fisherman we made a serious mistake which we now take leave to correct. We grouped three men as being traitors to the cause of the seiners, to-wit: Kit Kittles, Ted Voss and "Red' Irwin. MT. Irwin does not belong to that group. The man who com pletes the trio is Otto Rosenblatt.
 When we were trying to organize seiners' union last year, Kit Kit ties sat in the front seat and did most of the talking, urging the fishermen to organize and "stand together''; that he was with them body and soul even though he was on the payroll of the Alaska Pack ers' Association at a hundred month. At that meeting, William l.. Paul announced that he would file for the Legislature, whereupon MT. klttles said, "Well put you in there, my boy, don't you worry. We'll give you chance. We have put others in there before but they al- ways sold out on us. We will see what you will do."
 It is we'll known now just how hard MT. Kittles worked for Paul, One hundred dollars a month is not a big sum, but it is powerful ar gument to some and very convincing.

BRITISH EMPLOYERS HIT
 BOOZE AS BIG HANDICAP

LONDON, Friday, Nov. 21.-While it is generally admitted that drunk enness has greatly decreased in Great Britain since 1914, there is still much room for improvement, according to some of the country's big employers of labor.
 At a luncheon of the Business Mems (National Commercial Tenn perance) League, Sir Dyson Mallin- son, head of a firm of cotton brok- CTS, said England could be the envy of the world but for the handicap imposed by the drink habit. Sir R. Murray Hyslop an employer of 4O,- 900 workers, testified to the ex- tremely practical work of the Na- tional Commercial Temperance Lea que.
 For every 20 shillings spent on ed ucation in England, this speaker said, 70 shillings was spent on drink. Drunkenness had decreased, but the picture was marred by the fact that clubs had sprung up where public houses had disappeared. He ex- pressed admiration for Americas courage in adopting prohibition New York Times.

TRAP FISH AND SHINES

Subject: Salmon caught by traps
 and seines in Alaska. Hon. Dan Sutherland, House of Representatives, Washington, D. c.
 Dear Sir
 The receipt is acknowledged of your letter of the 18th instant, ask ing for a statement of comparison of the trap and seine catches of sal mon in Alaska for 1923 and 1924. Figures for 1924 will not be avail abl efor some time. It is usually about midwinter before returns yf the preceding fishing season can be completed. As soon as the infor- mation is available it will be sent to you.
 In 1923 the total catch of salmon in Alaska by seines was 21,132,672, while the catch by traps in the same year was 34,152,7O9. Upon a per- centage basis, seines took approxi- mately 27 per cent and traps A per cent.
 The total number of seines used in the salmon industry of Alaska in 1923 was 51O, of which 173 were beach seines and 337 were purse seines. There were 282 driven trips and 16O floating traps, or total of 442, operated in the Alaska sal mon industry in that year.
 Very truly yours,

Conductors and Non-conductOrs.

For all practical purposes all ma
terialS are divided, electrically speak
ing, into conductors and non-con-
ductors. The term electrical con
ductor," or simply conductor Is ap-
piled to materials which offer very
little resistance to the flow OF a con-
tinuous electrical current, while the
term electrical non-conductor,' or
simply ''non-conduCtor," is applied to
materials which offer such consider
able resistance to the flow OF d con-
tinuous electrical current that for all
practical purposes they may be con-
sidered as materials which do not con-
duct electricity.
While these terms are generally ac-
cepted there are certain facts which
you should know about such materials
if you want to be technically correct.
All materials are to some extent
conductors of electricity. 1t is true
| that some Of them are very poor con-
ductors while others are compara-
lively very good conductors. but that
does not alter the fact that even So
! called .'non-conductors" will conduct
electricity to a limited extent.
Semi Conductors Explained.
The division Of materials into con-
ductors. on the one hand, as being
those which offer very little resistance
to the flow OF current, ana nOn-COn-
ductors insulators and dielectrics, on
the other hand, is more or less of an
arbitrary division. Materials which
are neither good conductors or good
insulators are called semi-conductors.
The properties of being able to con-
duct electricity or to act as non
conductor is not limited to solids.
Liquids and gases can also be divided
into groups Of conductors and non
conductors.
An insulator will allow brief tran
sient current to flow which charges
the material electrostatically. This
displacement current, as it is called.
produces a counter electromotive force
which IS equal and opposite to the ap-
piled electromotive force and the flow
of current is stopped.
Iusulates to Certain Extent.
The conducting and non-conducting
properties of materials vary consider
ably under different conditions. When
the applied voltage is small, some ma
| terials will act as insulator but if the
voltage is increased beyond a certain
point the material will cease to act as
an insulator.
The temperature Of the material
also has a lot tc do with its efficiency

c. Daniel, proprietor of the Daniel
restaurant, on Palisade avenue, Cliff

alleged nuisance.
The restaurant proprietor had been

the police, they say, to enter the
place and order him to close

that the policeman on the post, upon
patrolling the avenue, at 3 o'clock,
found the restaurant open and play
