The story was about $50 words
long, and so clearly was 1t re-
ceived, even with the crude
mechanism then used, that only
three words we're mistaken on
the Boston end Of the line.
Before the days Of press or
ganizations which now pound out
thousands of words of news daily
from far-away points, and relay
them through automatic tele'
graph machines, over telephone
wires, various methods Of gather
ing distant news, were used.
Pony Express Used
A striking example Of this Is
found in the history Of . Bal
timOre paper. 1t depended on the
pony express to bring the PreSt
dents message from Washington
to Baltimore in December, 1888!
About the same time, the paper
trained 500 carrier pigeons to fly
with news items between New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore
and Washington.

what happens to the resolution
after it is proposed?
Is the average citizen, either
man or woman, personally in
terested in the world war
against dope?
If not why not?
The plain citizen is very much
interested in the sewer system
of his own town and his own
neighborhood.
Crime Causes Cited
He may not have a cent Of
money invested in the plumbing
business and maybe he couldn't
place a sewer pipe to save his
life.
But he's interested in the
sewer system just the same.
Vitally interested.
He wants to keep typhoid
and malaria and diphtheria and
scarlet fever away from the
schools and the homes Of the
neighborhood and from his own
children in particular.
What has the dope traffic
to do with the health and
happiness Of the average Amer
ican boy and girl?
Do you read the crime news
in the daily newspapers?
Do you know that the New
York department Of correction
reports that at least so per
cent Of the criminals in jails
and penitentiaries-and out of
them-are narcotic addicts?
Youthful Criminals
Do you know that more than
20 per cent of the thieves and
gangsters and murdererS in the
American penitentiarieS are I'M
der 20 years Of age?
Read those figures over
> they mean something.
Figures show that the United
States uses twice as much
dope as France, in proportion
to population: three times as
as much as England, and four
times as much as Germany,
and eight times as much as
Italy.
Europe is wide awake over
the danger of the dope ring.
Every country that is poten-
TALLY represented in the League
of Nations is working this very
day to keep dope out of that
particular country.
Kept From Home
The British Empire gets a
very large revenue out Of the
opium traffic in the British
possessions in India, in China
and in the Straits Settlements.
But Great Britain keeps dope
out of Great Britain, or makes
a desperate attempt to keep it
out.
Italy has Joined with Turkey,
Uruguay, Mexico, Spain, Bel
gium and Poland in planning
to ask the conference here this
month to pass a strong r. J.
luton, demanding that all the
manufacturing of narcotics
shall be in the hands Of the
government in each country
where narcotics are either
raised or made over in factories.
How does America stand on
this question?
Need Only One Ton
There should not be much le-
Ultimate opposition to such q
plan as that, should there?
There are less than a dozen
large narcotic factories in the
world. and the narcotic branch
of the business Of these particu-
lar factories is so small in pro-
portion to the rest Of the drugs
made by these same firms that
it seems unreasonable to expect
or fear any desperate battle for
the right to manufacture mar
cotics in a private factory.
The whole legitimate needs OF
the world, so the best medical
authorities say, can be met with
one ton Of narcotics a year.

The Alaska salmon fisheries this year are in very satisfactory con- dition, evidencing substantial im- provement over preceding cycle years, declared Henry OMalley United States Commissioner of Fisheries, in summing up today his view of the current situation. He arrived here last night with the Walcott party on the Penguin Capt. O'Donnell.
 He has practically completed his annual inspection of the fisheries and seal herds, and will leave on the Penguin Sunday morning for Seattle, via Ketchikan where one day will be spent.
 No New Regulations
 T do not believe any new regu- lations are needed at this time, and so far as can be told at this time no additional restrictions will be necessary in 1932,' he said.
 "The salmon fisheries are ap- parently in healthy condition which is very gratifying. In South east Alaska, despite voluntary cur tailment by the packers of fishing gear and packing equipment. the pack will be about normal.
 Fish have been plentiful every where; the takes by seines and traps have been large; the escape ment of fish to the spawning beds sufficient to insure abundant seed ing for the 1888 runs.
