Production of Pottery
Throu1hout the Aces

Vanished or lustrous pottery was
produced in Greece from about the
Fifth to the Third century b. G. In
stead of being covered with a true
glaze 1t possessed a lustrous surface,
the exact nature of which Is not def
nitely known. Glazed pottery was
produced in Egypt, Babylonia, Persia
and the countries bordering the Medi-
terranean sea. Various methods were
employed in producing the surface. In
Spain the art Of glazing with glass
was practiced to some extent as early
as the Fifteenth century, having prob
ably been introduced from Persia.
Lead-glazed pottery is produced in
practically every country of the civi-
lied world. 1t has been used in the
Orient, the Near East, and throughout
Europe and the United States. Green
pottery was made in China during the
Han dynasty, POP B. Goo A. D.,
which was the earliest lead-glazed
ware Of which we have knowledge.

FishinR Superatition

II a Buckle tisherman's nets he.
came tangled at sea he spat upon a
piece Of grass and threw 1t over
board. This mysterious act was sup
posed to untangle the line, writes
Gerald Griffin in an article on Scot
fish fishermen and their superstitions,
in the Baltimore Sun. The Nairn fish
ermen held it unlucky to shoot nets
on the port side, to taste any food
before fish were caught. to fail to
draw blood from the first fish caught.
No fisherman of Morayshire would
carry parcel for a friend or go to
sea before blood had been shed, al
though to accomplish the latter very
often fight had to be started. The
fisherman's wife would not comb her
hair after sunset while her "guid
man" was at sea.

One Mushroom Variety
Expert Had Overlooked

One of the most nourlshlng vIands
to be found in the fields is the mush-
room, and while they are rather liber-
ally consumed, there are many per-
sons who will not risk eating them
for fear Of mlstaking the poisonous
toadstool for the edible mushroom.
But 1t is rare that one hears Of a
man dying through experimenting with
foods. Yet 1t happened a short time
ago. A famous expert on mushrooms,
M. Coffin. died of mushroom poison
ing.
This Frenchman was probably the
greatest living expert on mushrooms,
and wrote book on his pet subject.
He was also careful to illustrate the
book with pictures showing mush-
rooms that could be eaten with safety
and those that were dangerous. Ap-
parently NJ. Coffin discovered a mush-
room that he had not listed. He ate
1t to make sure and died.

Latyia,. Historic capital

In 1918 Latvia T';is mat, III indie
pendent republic with Riga as its
capital. One is accustomed to think
of the Baltic states us little countries,
yet Latvia's area is $4,000 square
miles and is as large as both Holland
and Belgium together. Riga is a digni-
fed city with many parks and broad
boulevards. Its wide paved streets are
so thickly fringed with lime trees that
one may walk beneath them when 1t Is
raining without need of an umbrella.
Riga was founded in 1901 by Bi:hop
Albert, who built the cathedral. This

quarreled during the dance. The man

fiancee attempted to disguise her I'M

RAISES WAGES TO AID
 RETURN OF PROSPERITY

Everybody believes that the way to restore prosperity is to in crease the purchasing power of wokers, but very few persons arc doing anything about it.
 An exception is Charles C.. Robin, president of the Robin Lighting Fixtures Company of New York, contracting concern who takes the position that something more than lip service to a sound economic principle is needed to get the nation on an even keel.
 MT. Robin has announced that every employee will be given an increase of $1 a day above the union wage scale under which his company has been operating.
 The Robin company maintains the f1ve-day week and has an agreement with the Information al Brotherhood of Electrical Workers.
 T think the epidemic of wage cutting has had a bad effect on general economic conditions" ;" MT. Robin declared.
 "The way out of the depres- sion lies in promoting consumer purchasing power"
 Of course, MT. Robin does not pretend to claim that his indi- vidual action will lift the clouds of depression and bring back prosperity. He does insist, how lever, that he has set an example which, if followed by employers generally, would make short shrift of the hard times and in taking that view he has tho support of practically all econo- mists.

Bay region, particularly on the east side of the bay, where there were good runs and escapments 1 in 1926, the brood year for a large proportion of this seasons fish. Excellent runs of pink sGlm- on entered the waters of south eastern Alaska, with the result that despite curtailment opera tions the production of this species was well above the aver age for recent years, although | it was substantially less than the I1930 output.
 Comparing the preliminary |figures for 1881 with the average for the Swear period fvGn 1926 to 1880, by districts, both south eastern and western Alaska
 show gains of approximately 6 Iper cent, while for central Alas ka there is a decline of Il per cent. It has later been estimated
 that the total Alaska pack for the 1881 season will be 5,440,OO0 zee, which will include 1,680,-
 900 cases of Reds, 3,OOO,7O9 Pinks, 540,O24 Chums, 17O,OO0 Cohoes, and 52,672 Kings.
 Skins of fur bearing land ar1i--
 rlals to the number of 494,54 and valued at $2,128,143, were exported from Alaska in 1880, a report from the Alaska Game Commission to the Biological Survey, U. s. Department Of Agriculture, shows. This is $2,- 385,715 less than the value of the 1929 shipments, although
 197, ,245 more pelts were exported.
 The smaller return for 1880 re- suited from a general decline in the market value of individual furs. The report is based on the
 companies or with postmasters handling the shipments, who in turn must forward them to the Alaska Game Commission.
 The Delegate is endeavoring
 to have the Geologial Survey undertake the mapping of Ko-
 diak Island, in the belief that it
 would lead to valuable mineral development. Director Menden- hall states that this is one of
 the projents that Philip s.
 Smith, Chief Alaskan Geologist,
 has urged and is one of several
 projects now under considera-
 tion for the next field season.
 But in the absence of informa-
 tion as to funds and personnel available for next season noth- ing definite can now be decided
 on, altho it is gratifying to know that it is the intention of the
 Survey to map Kodiak Island as soon as conditions will permit.

Washington NeOsletter
 By Will A. Steel

Mrs. R. w. Ferguson, of Fair banks, accompanied by her young daughter, spent a few days in Washington last week with her friend Miss Henrietta A. Mirick, who taught school i'll Fairbanks ten years ago. Mrs. Ferguson is enjoying her first trip out from the north in the past 30 years, and went to Cali fornia with her daughter who was seriously i'll, but who has al- most fully recovered and will return with her mother to Fair banks in the Spring.
 The Postoff1ce Department has suggested to the Delegate that he submit the name of suitable person to serve as Postmaster at Wrangell, the advanced age Of the present incumbent making him ineligible for the office. The name of B. Y. Grant, a young and capable man who was high ly recommended by the patrons of the office, has been submitted and it is expected that he will shortly receive the appointment. Applications have been received for the reestablishment of post offices at Ugashik, Aniak and Woodchopper. The Department is looking into the necessity for |oflces at these locations.
 In answer to a request made by the Delegate he has been ad- v1sed by the Postmaster General that an investigation has been made as to the desirability 0t having the mail service to Dill ingham carried from Anchorage instead of from Kanatak. The change of base is practicable and the contractor, the Alaskan Air ways, Inc, has been granted permission to provide the ser vice from Anchorage, effective November l.
 
 Major Malcolm Elliott, presi~ dent of the Alaska Road Com mission, arrived in Washington this week and expects to remain two months or longer. He will assist in the effort to have the Bureau of the Budget accept for the fiscal year of 1882 the same appropriation of $800,000 that was accorded the Commission for the present year. Roads and trails are very essential to the further development of the Ter ritory and the War Department will have the cordial assistance of Delegate Wickersham in try ing to secure from the Budget and Congress the appropriation that is necessary for the Com mission to carry out it's program for the coming year. Major FL liott, as a member of the joint U. s. and Canadian Information al Highway Commission, attend cd a meeting of the Commission at Victoria on Oct. 10th, and was greatly encouraged because Of the generally expressed opinion that the route from Hazelton British Columbia, to Fairbanks was feasible and economically advantageous. It is expected that another meeting of the joint Commission will be held in Washington early in January next.
 Some people interested in ef- fcient work in the Territorial Legislature have written the Delegate saying that it is doubtful whether competent as Isistance can be secured in the next session unless the per diem compensation of the Secretary Of the Senate, the Chief Clerk of the House, and their chief as sistants, is increased. At present the compensation is but $8 and $5 per day.
