The Alaska fisherman., 1929-03-15

The ngell Commercial Club at it's meeting last week authorized it's secretary to ad- dress a letter to Hon. Henry O'Malley protesting against cer- tain sections of the new fishery regulations. Following is a re- production of several para graphs from the body of the let ter:
 We take the liberty of stat ing that we fail to see how the conservation of fish will be aided to any appreciable extent by the new regulation which provides that Com mercial fishing for salmon by trolling, except from boats propelled wholly by oars or sails, is prohibited prior to April 1 in each calendar year."
 There is not a great deal of power trolling done during the winter months of January, February and March. Those who troll during those months generally do so because of ne- cessity, and they do not catch spawn fish except in rarest occasions. From our view point the closing order will only have the effect of saving the troll fish until the season opens on April 1, when wealth CT conditions are such that trollers will begin to appear in numbers s-numbers t h a t will increase as the season ad- vances. Another regulation which does not appear to us as aiding in the conservation of fish is Regulation No. un- der the head of General Re- gulations which provides that "The operation of any so-call- ed hammer head type of trap is prohibited" Practic- al fishermen and trap owners alike are perplexed as to how a hammer-head type of trap

GAINING WISDOM

While growing old man will learn
some useful lessons, if he's sane; lot
of errors he will spurn, a lot of knowl-
edge he will gain. The thoughtful and
obServant gent will learn that honesty
is best; he will not take tainted cent
to put down in his treasure chest. He
knows it's fine to have a fame at being
straighter than string; the man who
plays a righteous game IS fit to walk
with any king. He learns, by watching
people drift to poorhouSe, pauper grave
and JAIL that it is wise to practice
thrift, to save portion of his kale. So
he abandons Spendthrift ways, and puts
the helpful kopeckS by and in llfe'S
sere and wintry days he has good store
of luscious pie. He learns that words
from bitter tongue are but vain and
vicious thing; he may be pardoned when
he's young for shedding words which
have sting; but as he older. wiser
grows, he guards his tongue with jealous
care, for friends are better far than
foes. he'd rather hear men laugh than
swear. He notes that works a sovereign
cure for many of the woes and ills that
men impatiently endure-it'S better than
the patent pills. The worst complaints
are mostly made by men who have no
work to do, who loaf and linger in the
shade, while neighborS saw and dig and
hew. The man who has an urgent
chore has little time to brood and fret
about the ills that make men sore who
never battle their brows in sweat. So
we grow wiser as we wend along life'S
path, at every turn; We gather wisdom
to the end, If we. have sense enough to
learn. WALT MASON.

COMFORT
A WOMAN.

Furnishing home so that it will be
comfortable for the man of the house is
the wish of every home-loving wife,
whether she is little newly wed bride
or an experienced housewife. The
rooms as a whole cannot be dainty.
This expresses the eternal feminine, or
# used to. Nowadays some women ape
mems attire, attitudes and manners SO
that femininity is strangely lacking. A
woman of this type has to guard against
making her home too masculine in the
character of its furnishings, for most
men delight in a certain amount OF
femininity even in decorations.
It will be seen, then, that there must
be a consideration of proper relative
proportions in successfully decorated
house for the man to be well pleased
Unless he is, he is not comfortable-nor
is the wife likely to be either. 1t takes
comfortable surroundings to put man
at ease so that he enjoys his home. 1t
is for the wife to study furniture and
furnishings so that the equation be-
tween the masculine and hte efminine
type of decoration is satisfactory.
A living room should combine sturdi-
ness in furniture with beauty in the tex
tiles of hangings, drapery fabrics and
similar features OF furnishings. A re-
ception room may be dainty, with
French decoration stressed. This room
is one the man of the house is never
attracted to. The living room is the
one he wants to have suit his special
preferences, not to the exclusion of the
wife's, but to their joint liking. A den,
study or special room for the man, by
Whatever name it is called, is the room
where masculinity reigns. The average
house, however, seldom has such room.

mean women have not tried to run their
cars without at least three of the four.
OF course there are few logical results.
Burned bearings, scored cylinders and
exhausted batteries.
After an accident or collision it IS
economical to have skilled mechanic
look over your car. A wheel may be
out of line, increasing tire wear few
hundred per cent. An axle may be bent
and be in a condition that threatens
grave risk. A radiator often develops
a leak after bad collision, and other
leaks and breaks may be discovered.
Many women disregard suspicious
noises or knocks until a major dam
age is revealed, whereas early attention
to the slight noise would save them con-
siderable money, not to mention the
| services of their car while it is laid up
| for repairs. One would think women
would take an occasional glance at the
| oil pressure gauge, or the thermometer
| on the radiator cap, or tn ammeter,
which shows if the battery is charging.
Many a battery could have been saved
If attention had been paid to Pickering
| lights.
Cars today are made practically fool
| proof and as mechanically sound as
| the most modern and skilled engineer
| ing science can devise. They require
| but little attention and care. The little
! they do require is vital, however, to the
life of your car and to the expense of
its maintenance in good repair.

who had been we'll acquainted with the
deceased, retired as usual and mad
singular dream. He said the dead man
anpeared to him in his dream and told
him distinctly where he had put the
money. The apparition said that by
looking under a pile Of rubbish IN one
corner of the cellar, the man would
find an old box, which. when opened,
would be found to contain 5000.
The dream impressed the nelghbor
so strongly that early in the morning
he informed the widow of the clrcum-
stances, and. accompanied by her,
visited the cellar The pile OF rubbish
was discovered, and, upon being scraped
away. it revealed to their astonshed
vision an old box. The cover was
forced off with some difficulty and the
contents dropped out. There was the
sum of 5000.
The son of certain woman was en-
ployed in a store which had been
robbed. Some days before the arrest
of the guilty party the mother was
awakened by dream which gave her
such a strong presentiment that some
thing was wrong that. in the dead hour
of the night, she went to the bedroom
of her son and told him of her dream
and fears. The young chap denied
everything. but the mother was so posi-
tive that she even searched his pockets,
finding more money that he should or
dinarily have possessed. He could give
her no satisfactory account OF how he
came by the money. which only in
creased her fears. The son was ar
rested and finally admitted his guilt.

Dreams.

Dear DR.. Peters: What causes a
person TO dream continually at night?
AS a rule I go to bed early and never
eat before going to bed. Am healthy
and have a good appetite. I sleep on
nv right side and have the window
wide open. AS soon as I fall asleep I
start to dream, and in the morning am
able to tell everything that occurred
during the night. DREAMER.
It is believed that dreams occur when
the sleep is not very profound, and usu-
ally just before awakening. Dreams
that seem to extend over hours may
really extend over few moments. the
will being dormant, and the magma
ton vivid, dreams take on strange and
groteSque characters.
Analysing the dreams is done by
psychiatriStS in certain cases to see
what trend the mind takes when not
under control, so as to get some inkling
of the cause of suppressed mental dis
turbances. Some of the conclusions
drawn by the Freudian school OF
psychiatry seem as absurd as those given
in the old-faShioned SuperstitiouS dream
book-and are believed to be as absurd
by other schools of psychiatry!
There is no doubt that We do dream
about things that have been suggested
some JlIIle, IIle Ody VI tAlC NACoIA "a
perhaps years back. For instance, the
other day I read that Will Rogers said
he saw a picture of Helen Wills in her
official costume for presentation at the
English court, and that he didn't like
it. She should get back into her tennis
rornpers as soon as possible and tell the
Queen TO call on her! That night
dreamed that the Queen asked for an
audience with me, and what she wanted
was to find out the caloric value of
minced clam baked on the shell! I love
to dream. 1 think it's lots Of fun to
trace them.
I note that you can always relate
YOUR dreams. Don't do that, D., If you
don't want to dream. Anyway. they are
usually a bore to others, don't you
know?
Uncomfortable dreams are usually
due to discomfort from some cause
Might terrors of children and night
mares are often caused by some physi-
cal disorder) If you are cold, you will

Everyday Psychology
BY DR.. JESSE W. SPRowLs.
Your Cosmos.

According to the dictionary I con-
suit most frequently, the cosmos is de-
fined as 1.-The world or universe conSid-
cred as system, perfect in order and
Arrangement" Any definition is really
a short cut. So it might be well simply
to say that the word cosmos means or
ganiZation as opposed to diSorganlZa-
ton. The idea of perfection is of minor
Importance.
Whatever this definition may or may
not mean to you, the plain fact is that
each of you has some sort of a per-
sonal cosmos. Each of you has gen.
eral notion of the scheme of things
from thes mallest grass blade up to the
largest mountain. I say motion" for
the simple reason that your cosmos
exists only in your mind. There are as
many ideas about cosmos as there
are people who are capable of putting
experiences in order, who possess the
ability to see life steadily and see 1t
whole" or, more properly speaking, who
see things more or less steadily and
more or less as whole. I have yet to
meet the person who has a perfectly
arranged cosmos. The world of ex-
banding experience is really too vast to
stay put"
Some people get their cosmic idea too
early and suffer all their lives with that
rather common mental disorder called
narrow mindednesS. They confine the
universe to themselves and their imme-
diate surroundings.
Others frame up a too rigid cosmol-
ogy and become dogmatic. They see
the universe so steadily that they don't
see much of it.
Still others get the habit of attempt
ing to force what ought to be considered
eYcentiOnal eases into idea tight COM
partments They become slaves to their
pre- judgments, burdening themselves
and annoying their friends with what
are called prejudices. Their universe Is
incapable of change.
Your cosmos? No one knows what Z
is. It's always in the making. unless
you have quit thinking altogether.

Today in
Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

September 20, 186l.-There was in
tense excitement in the city today when
it was learned that a few brigades of
Gen. McClellan'S army had advanced
an average of miles from their posi-
tions on the Virginia side of the Poto-
mac River. Many persons construed
the movement as the beginning Of a
march ION to Richmond"
Inquiry at military headquarters,
however, disclosed the fact that such
rumors were without any foundation.
For two days it has been evident that
the considerable Confederate forces
which Gen. Beauregard has kept for
some weeks on his extreme front, ex-
tending from point opposite the Chain
Bridge to Endsalls Hill below Alexan-
dria, has retired at least out of sight
of the Union Army's. points of obserVa-
ton, leaving only few pickets behind.
It, therefore, became necessary for
Gen. Mcclellan to determine how far
back Gen. BeauregardS main force had
gone. He sent out few brigadeS for
that purpose and it was this movement
that gave rise to the false rumors.
According to reports received here
unofficially tonight these brigades found
no ConfederateS in the works at Up
tons, Munsons, MaSons and EndSalls
Hills. A few struggling Confederate
pickets were seen to leave these posi-
tons in the face of the Union advance.
This situation seems to indicate that
the previous change of position on the
part of the Confederate army was
general one, but its purpose is unknown,
at least so far as the public has been
able to ascertain. 1t Is doubtful
whether Gen. Mcclellan has yet been
able to discover the real intention OF
his opponent
Washington tonight is full Of theories
to account for the apparent retrograde
movement of the ConfederateS. One
is that Gen. Beauregard is concentrat-
ing his forces on the Potomac River IN
the vicinity of Occoquan, Va, with the
intention of making an attack on the
Union left This is given some color
by the known fact that the Confederate
forces in that vicinity have been in
creased during the last few days.
Another theory is that Beauregard Is
massing his troops in front of the
Union right with the idea of attacking
in the near future.
In military circles the theory which
appears to be most generally held is
that the ConfederateS are withdrawing
on Manassas and that Gen. Beauregard
| hopes to induce Gen. Mcclellan to
leave his intrenchments and give him
! battle there.

Milk Needs Much Care,
But Provides Good Food

to take the milk in at once so that it
does not stand in the rays of the sun.
In very cold weather milk should be as
carefully watched to see that it does
not freeze. For although the process
of freezing and then thawing does not
favor bacterial development, this spoils
the flavor and makes it less easily di-
gested. Young children or persons with
delicate digestion should never be given
milk that has gone through the freezing
and melting process.
When a milk bottle is received in your
house, rinse it off or wipe it off
thoroughly, to remove dust that may
have. settled ON the bottle.
Then, too, remember that milk that
has once been poured out of the bottle
should never be poured back in again.
Milk poured out and not used immedi-
ately should be used only when 1t will
receive thorough cooking.
And of course always replace the caps
on the top of milk bottles. If the cap
is lost use several thicknesses of oil
paper secured with Iubber band. If
The milk is to be fed to babies 1t is safe
to use sterilized cotton for such a
