Flo Ziegfeld says he will no long
er produce any of his expensive. eN-
trayag CANT revues, but will produce
snappv musical comedies. lie gives
some snappy reasons, too; but the
main reason, which he fails to men
ion. Is that the old-style" musical
comedy with clever story, lively
tunes, and all the rest, are coming
back strong. In fact Flo's revues
have had so much competition
rherefrom recently that he is going
% jump on the band wagon. Like
wise, the less extravagant musical
comedies cost less to produce and
the box office receipts are quite
large. That's another good reason,

The peri-mutuel system Of
wagering on horse races is not eX
actly gambling, it is said, and the
supreme courts Of several states
have held that the machine used is
not a gambling device. But for the
state to adopt the pari-mutuel sys-
TEN would require the repeal of the
states laws against gambling and
the repeal of the laws against
horse racing gambling. Various
states however, have prohibited the
pari-mutuel system, and it is quite
likely that Connecticut will not
adopt the system quite as hurriedly
as its proponents would desire.

YOUR ENISIGHT WHILE
MOTORING

Tile first report of the motor vc-
hicle department following its re-
Gently promulgated doctrine that
applicants for motor license must
undergo a visual test say that Of
113 applicants thus tested, only 60
We're found 10 have normal eye
sight. This Is little more than half.
What the department regards as
normal cyesight, it seems, is this:
That a person must be able to read
letters three-cighths Of an inch
high at a distance Of 20 feet. As
much of the display in newspaper
advertising is around that size, any
one can test himself in his own
home by trying TO read such type
from such q distance, provided he
doesn't fool himself by reading the
type first at arms length and then
trying ii from distance Of 90 feet.
\ person may be afflicted with a
short memory, but not onr short
enough 10 forget the cryptic an
nomccment in the ad that quickly.
Fifty of the applicants. one of
whom wore spectacles, were able TO
pass the neXt important test of be-
ing able 10 read letters one and a
quarter inches high at % feet
Those who pass tho most severe
oyesisht t'St. it appears, Will re
ceIvo unrestricted licenses while
those who require spectacles are
given RESTRICTED licenses" requiring
them to wear glasses while driving.
It's going to ba u good stimulus for
the cycelass trade, some of our
high-poWsr,I Nutmeg autoists arr
quito likely To discover that they
must wear eyeglasses or. quit driy-
Ing.
The now scheme is quite likely to
figure in the determination OF who
and what was responsible for acct
dents in the future. The cyrsiaht
record Of a person cnmeshed in a
Highway lam may lie as important
as how fast he was driving his car.

LARGE INCREASE FISH TRAPS THIS SEASON.
 ESTIMATED 1T 300.

| Last year there was total of 676 trap licenses issued from the U. s. Engineer office of the War Depart ment, of which Colonel J. G. Steese is the Alaska head. Up until about three weeks ago there had been 700 odd licenses issued for this year and,
 according to Lance B. Hendrickson, inspector for the department, who left Seward this morning on an inspection trip of fish traps in the Prince William Sound district, it is expected at least 800 licenses will be the mark this season. This department is only in- terested in fish traps from the stand
 point of navigation and the annual in- spection is made for the purpose of seeing that fish traps owners live up to conditions. MT. Hendrickson will be absent for at least a week on the Prince William Sound trip during which time he will visit all traps in that vicinity. The M. s. Discoverer has been specially chartered by him. Upon his return he will leave direct for the Juneau office. MT. Hendrick- son said there were a total of 89 fish traps in the Cook Inlet district, 26 in the Kodiak Island region, 23 on the Alaskan Peninsula, and ten in the Chignik district The number in the Prince William Sound area was not known at the present time but will be upon his return. With the excep- tion of the fish traps further West ward it is readily seen that the ma- jority of the fish traps are located in Southeastern Alaska waters.
 Around the False Pass and Chignik areas poor rum of salmon has taken place thus far, but all in the Cook Inlet an exceptionally good run has been experienced. Both small salmon plants at Seldovia have their packs already up and will probably pack number of thousand in addition. Ev- cry indication points toward the Cook Inlet area anjoying the best run of salmon of any district in the Terri tory. @s
