In 1907 DR.. Shelly started to test

however, that not only Good Friday

would keep, and not only for a year,
but for 20.
II still have some which have kept
for this long period, and, although
they are now so dried up that they
resemble Jumps of burnt sulphur, they
are quite fit for food"
In the legend it was stipulated that
the eggs must be absolutely clean.
This is the soundest advice that
could be given" said the physician.

SIMS SENSATIONAL INTERVIEW

The recent interview in waica Admiral William Sims discussed the naval disarmament problem has stirred up deal of controversy. Az chief of American naval forces inEurope during the world war, he is an important authority: and he declares that the great fighting craft have seen their day. Battie- ships and cruisers have lost primacy because they cannot cope with air. craft and submarines.
 Speaking of the fact that the en- tire battle line of our navy has now been placed on an oil-burning in stead of a coal-burning basis, the Admiral added:
 Great Britian has established great stores of oil at her bases all over the world; Japan has accumu- lated vast reserves of this munition All navies are now On the oil-burn- ing basis, because oil requires less space, can be more conveniently stored aboard ship, produces 50 or 60 per cent more power per ton, and requires a considerably smaller crew. No other naval power pos sesses it's own oil as does the United States; yet So important is oil that there were times during the war when English commanders were un- der orders not to proceed at more than one-half or three-Quarters speed, except when confronting the enemy, in order to conserve oil.'
 Asked if the American govern ment had established any great oil stores as insurance against war ex- igencies, Admiral Sims replied that he was not informed aside from the well known fact that large reserves had been set aside up in the Hawai- in Islands. "But, having resources and production of oil available on both the Atlantic and Pacific Coasts" he added, ''that is not so necessary in our case"

ed is good, and indications are that there will be no carry-over when the new pack is offered for sale There were about a million cases of pink salmon yet unsold in Seattle shortly before I left, he said, "but they were moving at price less than $1.35 per dozen. Brokers and others expected to see them clean ed up within 60 days"
 The write up in the Chronicle from which the above is taken gives forth the impression that tht out look for the entire industry this year is excellent. MT. Hickman, is hardly as optomistic as is being made out. A canny businessman and one thoroughly familiar with conditions in the industry, he is not in the canning business this year. He has however, leased his plant to others and will watch results from the sidelines. Others equally as conversant with the industry are even pessimistic at this time declar- ing that present indications for the year point to a duplication of the 1921 season.

OUGHT TO
 PARTICIPATES IN PROFITS

Int Seattle Times suggests that the. cirumstance that the seal catch this year will exceed $900.000 ough, to cause a renewal ot the demand that Q portion, at least of the pro- ceeds should be turned over to the Territoral Treasury. The British government gives it's share of the proceeds from the seal fisheries to Canada, and Canada in turn giev most, or all of the profits to British Columbia. The British method iS equitable and it should be followed by the Unlted States. Alaska ought to have at least half of the Amer
 'ican prohts from the seal fisheries
 Of course the profits from the in
 dustry will be much less than the total receipts, for the costs Of the ptarOI Ond other expenses in guard ing the seals and taking the skins are large. Then only 5540 of the prohts are taken by the United States Great Britan and Japan get l5To each, and U. s. takes Russia's l59o and applies it on the interest ot what Russia owes this country.-Ex.
