NOW GO on WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER VII


CTEPHEN ARMITAGE had
- walked right past b1ldred's desk
without seeing her
For all the boyish Aippancy which
he showed at times, Stephen pos
sessed a remarkable power Of con-
centration.
He was thinking at the moment
Of Buck Connor. Where had lie seen
him before? When he gave up try
ing to place the man he was long
out Of MiIdred's sight. without
knowing that he had been so near
TO her.
To Mildred it seemed that he
hadn't bothered to speak. Her face
famed red as she watched him go
without even a nod to her. Then
she turned to her work and typed
furlousIy. blinking back tears Of
mortifica ton that blinded her.
Pamela had done good Job. she
told herself. i'm making conquest
Of Stephen. He couldn't see any
one else now For a moment he
was no longer interested in her, but
because it disappointed her that he
should have fallen for Pamela.
After all she realized. she'd held a
faint hope that Stephen would be
different, that he would see through
Pamela's shallOWnesS.
But. try to despise Stephen as
she might. Mildred carried home a
heavy heart that dav.

him I wish you'd let me know, one
said.
Stephen looked at her sharply.
Are you interested in him?" he
asked and his voice carried an edge.
Simply because 1 want to pro-
tect someone I know if there's any
thing wrong about Mr.. Connor,'
Mildred explained, and the scowl
left Stephens face.
I'd hate to see you getting inter
asted in anyone else just now" he
said and grinned.
Anyone else?" Mildred repeated.
Now don't say you aren't inter-
ested in me until tell you what l
came in here for Stephen has
tened to plead
For whoever this boZo may be in
his own pew he was kind enough
to come over this morning and hand
0ut couple of tickets to a show
for tonight. You're the chosen one
to share the windfaIl with yours
truly"
TT was on NIildreds tongue to ask
a if Pamela had refused to go, but
she put that aside as cheap.
What's the show?" she tempor-
lied.
SHOW Business
"Oh, that's hit"
Fine. I'll come up for you at
eight. I live about half way up to
your place"
This time Mildred went home
with a singing heart and a new
dress. She was late and had time
for only a bite of dinner, but that
mattered nothing at all, What did
matter was to get the hem put il
her new dress and find pair of
stockings to match it.
why didn't you buy a pair?"
Connie asked, hesitating over the
impulse to offer the pair she'd re-
CeiVed from an aunt at Christmas.
Because I had to spend every
cent I had on this dress, Mildred
answered, guessing what vas going
on in Comics mind.
Come on, honey" she coaxed,
'let me have them. III oe careful
and wash them out tonight before
I 60 to bed"
While Mildred was thus hastily
making preparations to look her
best for Stephen, Pamela was push
ing away a Peche Melba and telling
the waiter who served her to bring
parfait instead.
/ Before it arrived HuCk Connor
came to her table and Pamela
asked him to sit down. Harold had
swallowed his demi tasse and had
| gone, leaving her for the moment
with no one either to quarrel with
! her or to amuSe her.
She welcomed Huck and, having
nothing else to do, half -heartedly
vanped him.
How about a show tonight?" he
asked her,
Pamela shook her head. I've got
some friends coming in later" she
said.
Her date wasn't until II, when
she was going to a dance, but she
didn't want to go out with Huck.
Harold had told her he'd cable their
father if she did"
Perhaps your brother could use
these tickets" Huck suggested, TAX
ing a small white envelope from an
inside pocket. "a friend asked me
to get them and then wired he
couldn't be here"

 The Substitute Bill of 1916
 Again
 Since the Brown decision had upset the half century custom of the trap men in Alaska, and introduced jumping" and liti- gation in it's place, the cannery interests naturally sought a way out of the dilema which threat ened many of them with fnan- cial ruin. I was consulted by one of the most prominent men interested in the question and was asked to prepare a bill should protect bOtlA the public and private interests, if it could De done. I agreed to do that, and being employed I drew a bill embodying the very plan which l suggested to the Com mittee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries and to the House of Representatives in 1916.
 Herewith I enclose for your in formation, copy of bill drawn by me. It was submitted by me to MT. Paul, who has taken, as you know, a very great interest in fishery legislation for Alaska and it was published in his pa per-, the Alaska Fisherman, on the January number, 1928, ac- companied by a letter of eXpla- nation signed by myself. There after the bill was discussed by some of the leading cannery- men of Alaska and some minor changes made in it. It was then thought by all of us to be in shape to protect, FIRST, the public interest, second, the trap if S h m e n and cannerymen from jumping, and THIRD, to bring trap sites and traps under the same plan of control as that adopted in the Act of June 6, 1924, as amended by the Act of June IS, 1926.

CKERSHAM ON TRAP SITES
 From The Alaska Fisherman

 "Mr. Reilly. You stated a few
 moments ago that there are
 no laws at the present time
 covering the subject matter of
 this bill regarding these To-
 cations for fishing.
 MT. Wickerstam. Yes sir.
 MT. Reilly. What necessity,
 if any, is there for new legis-
 lation along that line?
 MT. Wickersham. I think
 there is necessity for 1t, and I
 PROPOSED TT TO THE CON-
 MITTEE. THE COMMITTEE
 WANTED TO KNOW WHAT I
 WOULD DO, AND I PROPOS-
 ED A LEASING SYSTEM OF
 THESE TRAP SITES, UNDER
 SUCH PROTECTION AS
 OUGHT TO BE IMPOSED, so
 THAT IN FIVE WEARS WE
 COULD GO OUT AND RE
 CAPTURE THEM IF WE DE-
 SHRED AND CONTROL, THEM
 IN THE MEANTIME, AND
 THUS PREVENT THEM
 FROM PASSING INTO THE
 HANDS OF ONE GREAT FISH
 TRUST. (Applause) THAT
 CAN BE DONE"
 Now, the point I wish to make in this last quotation is that in 1916 I favored this identical plan of leasing these trap sites in Alaskan waters, and the House of Representatives agreed with me. I lave favored that plan ever since, and do now FAVOR IT.
 Possessory Rights in Trap Sites
 The old English pound net was carried into the colonies, and when salmon cannerieS were established in California and Oregon more than a half cen tury ago, the cannerse con- structed them there. Traps or pound nets were constructed in Alaska by the salmon canners as early as 1878, or more than fifty years ago. For half a cen tury the right of tfe trap own CT, who constructed and used his trap on Alaskan salmon grounds, was respected and pro- tected by the courts under the law which gives the prior Occu- pant of public lands the exclus- i've right thereto as long as he continues his actual use and oc- cupation thereof. A contest arose between the prior occu- pant and a Jumper" in recent years, and Judge Brown, of the Valdez division teld that the dismantling of the trap in the fall, after the fishing season had lapsed, constituted an abandon ment of the trap site, and that the Jumper" who got on the site a few days earlier than the prior occupant in the spring was entitled to the legal possession thereof.

ounces Of bay rum and one
eighth of a teaspoonful of pow
dered borax. Mix until all in

then ready for use.
Saturate the hair, apply a lib
eral amount Of the shampoo and
run the fingers firmly over the
scalp and through the hair to
make a full lather. Rinse out
this lather, apply a second por-
ton Of the shampoo, lather It
freely, rinse and, if the hair
seems clean, continue rinsing it
until all soap has been removed.
If, after two or three sham
poos, taking one each week, the
oily condition persists then you
may be reasonably sure that the
oil ducts are functioning too
freely in the scalp and corrective
measures must be taken.
Brush the hair for five minutes
and massage the scalp for an
equal length Of time. Then heat
equal parts Of olive oil and mango
cure Gust ask for mango cure at
your local druggists) to a tepid
temperature and apply this to the
scalp.
Start by parting the hair In the
center then, using a small pad Of
cotton, pat the liquid along the
line of the part. Place a second
part one inch below the center
and apply the liquid and continue
in this manner until the entire
scalp has been covered. Massage
lightly for five minutes then wrap
a clean towel or cloth about the
head and let it remain on for one
hour. This is ample time for the
oil and mango cure to penetrate.
After using the olive oil and
mango cure preparation, several
applications Of shampoo will be
necessary and I'd suggest that
one made of one ounce of tho
ture of green soap added to one
pint Of cold water be allowed to
replace the CASTLE soap shampoo
given above.
Rinse all soap from the hair,
using first warm and then cold
water.
The CASTLE soap and egg sham
poo is particularly good for those
who have naturally curly hair as
the egg brings out the gloss that
frequently is missing in curly
hair. It may be used on the hair
