 The ALASKA NATIVE BRO- THERHOOD will perhaps be credited with having a small amount of brains now that you have endorsed their resolution of 1928, as we'll as their resolu- tion of 1929. I would be surpris- ed if in your talks with the Bu- reau of Fisheries they did not tell you that we had proposed re- gulations based on very startling differences of principle from theirs. say, "I would be sur prised." No, I would not, for that is another matter which shows their Stupidity-they have made no study of this question. They have no library or place where proposals of this kind are kept. In fact, theys seem to think that by ignoring proposals of this kind, they are answering the conservation question.
 But after all, l have been sim ply dealing with the surface of the problem, still not with the fundamentals" of our fisheries. When Congress legislates, it does so With it's mind on the "funda- mental' law of the land, namely. the Constitution. This Consti- tuition, the unWritten one we call Common Law" It is all based on principles as distinguished from the mechanics of the law. The principle is easy to state; but having the principle in mind, the details should conform to the principle, and when tested by the 1.1ictialz

 My proposals are not original With me. I propose first that all shall recognize that the UNIT OF CONSERVATION is the sal mon stream. By this I mean { nat we shall recognize that ev- cry stream has it's own capacity of spawning area, and that over- spawning is just as bad for the industry as under-SpaWning. This being so, every fish not reeded in keeping up the run should be caught for utilization. How shall this be done? It shall be done by creating districts of such length that a district ward en can cover it in one day. Un- der him shall be placed stream Watchmen to guard the "dead- line.' Fishing shall then be pro- hibited until an adequate supply of salmon shall have ascended the stream. The dead-line should be so placed that enough salmon shall be protected for
 planting the stream and all ov- CT that shall be caught if reQuir- ed. This might mean that today the deadline would be at the mouth of the stream; tomorrow, 500 yards away; the day follow ing, one mile away; etc. In oth- CT words, We would have a mov- able deadline placed in relation to the contents of the stream.
 This idea is the basic idea of the Canadian reglations. Per- haps unknown to you, you copied the idea and announced that it was your original idea (page 173, Saturday Evening Post of De- cenber 14, 1929).
 The trouble with your idea is that it is not complete. That is the reason why I believe it is the result of your own investiga- tiOns. Your idea does not con- 1emplate the VariatinnS of the

Concerning portraiture, Mr.. Child has said:
"The painting Of portrait is d very intimate
and personal thing. Each individual is q COM
piete entity which can never be successfully
analysed by an established or fixed formula of
color, design or anything that could be called
method" And he regards each sitter as "a door
opening into new adventure which necessi-
tates new and unexpected methods Of approach
and determination. The more completely a sit
ter reveals himself to the artist however UNI
consciously, the better the chance of q reveal
ing and satisfying portrait"
After graduating from Amherst Mr.. Child
went to New York to pursue the study of art.
He attended the Art Students League and then
became q pupil of John La FARCE and for a
number OF years was his chief assistant From
him he learned pigments, color, composition,
executing mural paintings and work in stained
glass under the direction Of this great master
For number Of years he turned his attention

TO magazine illustration. working for Scribner's,
Appletons. McClure's and the Century maya
zines. Occasionally he illustrated his own arti-
cies BY way OF recreation he took to landscape
painting, and at the st. Louis Exposition was
awarded q medal for a landscape. In recent
years most Of his time has been given to figure
work and portraits. And from the evidence of
this exhibition 1t would seem that he has been
q rather prolific producer, satisfying the re-
quirements OF those by whom his works have
been commissioned.
Mr.. Child is one Of the fifty living painters
whose attachments are recorded and Appraised

decorated three times by the King and Queen
OF Italy. He served in the Italian army as a
volunteer private during the entire war and
was decorated with the Croix de Guerre
Periodically, he represents both the italy
OF the past and the Italy of tomorrow-youn9
Italy, fearless, adventurous, held in check by
the traditions Of the past. He is not modern
list; classical ideals dominate his work But his
sense OF movement. his eagerness for action, the
rapio1ty with which he produces are all typical
OF the spirit Of modern times. It is probably
this spirit which induced Signor Simone to
come to America and to exhibit here And in
opening the doors of our National Gallery of

TT should not be forgotten that Edgardo
Simone's exhibition Of sculpture, which is
sharing honors with Mr.. Child's portraits in
the National Gallery Of Art, will continue for
another week.
It Is extraordinary that q sculptor from an
other land should be able to make so compre-
hensive an exhibition as does Signor Simone at
the present time. His works occupy the entire
gallery and overflow into the gallery beyond.
So versatile is this sculptor that his works en-
brace not only portraits and imaginative COM
positions but also notable memorials, monu-
ments etc.

course rationale. His monument to the Anime

RE: ALASKA FISHERIES

Practically every Indian resi- dent of Southeastern Alaska $ a fisherman of many years ex- perience, having been Eorn :) the business of making a living by fishing.
 There is no person or group o' persons to whom the bus,n of fishing is more important, for which reason we affirm that the Natives If Southeas'.: :i1 Alaska are qualified to speak and have the right to speak on the sub- ject of fishing and fish regula- tions.
 Therefore we hereby resolve that the saving of the fast dis appearing salmon and the fast decreasing white population of Alaska can only be stopped by the adoption of the following regulations;

 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution be sent to the Secretary of Con- merce and to tho Hon. Dan Sutherland, Delegate to Congress from Alaska.

Empty All Gear at Beginning of
 Closed Season

Ketchikan, Alaska
 Dec. 19, 1929 Honorable Robert F. Lamont, Secretary of Commerce, Washington, D. c.
 My dear MT. Lamont:
 The natives of Southeastern Alaska by and through their elected delegates at Haines. Alaska, appeal to you as the responsible official under the White Fish Law for relief against the unjust discriminations of the present fishery regulations. To correct this matter and to further the conservation of our fisheries, these people adopted the enclosed resolution which asks that all fish gear be requir- cd to be empty of fish at the hour set for closing whether weekly or seasonal.
 The resolution speaks for it. self.
 Even a cursory inves ssigation will show that seines and gill; nets are already compelled by the enforcement officers to be empty of fish at the closing hour while f1sh-traps are not so re- Quired.
 Yours respectfully,
 William l.. Paul. ... ... Grand President. .... x x

 WHEREAS, the Bureau of Fisheries does not require the fish traps to follow the same rule, and

 4. Resident fishermen of Alas ka must be protected against competition of non-residents as in Oregon and Washington.
 5. Herring for fertilizer must he prohibited.
 6. All gear must be empty of fish at the hour set for closing.
 Argument.
 1st. The primary cause of de- pletion in Alaska is the f1shtrap with it's 24 hour efficiency as against the daylight efficiency of the seine and gill net. In California it is unlawful to build a fshtrap.
 In re 2nd::"If you breed late fish, you will get late fish" is a bio ogical fact. Like breeds like" Early potatoes breed carry pct t-e5; early laying hens breed early laying hens; etc." We proclaimed this fact in 1923 when this seasonal plan was first preached. Today every practical ooseryer points out this danger. Dr. Charles H. Gilbert, (deceased) published a similar warning in the Pacific Fisher raan" of October 1923.
 In re 3rd: The weekly closed plan guarantees uniform es- exponent oi salmon throughout; the entire season. The reason the present weekly clo-ed sys- tenn seems ineffective is this the trap system defeats it be- cause such closing mercy de- crees that a different bunch of traps will catch the fish which are saved on Sunday it being generally Lelieved that salmon

life and have seen many different kinds Of
people, some well educated and intelligent and
others only peasants but without being at all
influenced In favor of my own race, find there
is no reason to believe that Russians In general
are more superStitiouS than the common people
of any Latin country. There Is, of course, q
difference between Russian and Occidental SUI
perStitiionS. In Western countries superstition
is more superficial and seems more groundless,
whereas in Russia it has deeper meaning and
deeper sources. In Latin countries, for instance,
it Is made up of ideas such as disliking black
cats and certain numbers, but in Russia it is
more poetical.
Lack of education, which is the cause of
nearly all superstition, Is disappearing little by
little before the advance of civilization. The
credulity Of grandparents will soon be a source
of amusement for their grandchildren and per-
haps youngsters will no longer be afraid of
ghosts black cats, unlucky numbers and
