five leading powers, instead of by
the Washington conference.
Both Of Gibsons proposals should
be very effective in the connie z

The Metropolitan Life InsuE~ ance Co.,, reports 599 deaths from alcoholism among it's industrial policy holders in 1928, or a death rate of 3:3 per 100000.

 Seiners and others in position to observe report that the pack this year is absolutely a trap pack. That escapement to the spawning areas is very spotted and the pack is being held up at the expense of seed fish which are caught before they reach the spawning areas.

 The Tony K.. like every other Puget Sound boat seining in Alaska comes up under a fiat guarantee whether or not they catch any fish. The resident Alaskan works out his own sal vation without any guarantee.
