 Senator Wolcott's Special Com mittee on Conservation of Wild Life Resources held sessions during three days of last week, at which over 100 Sportsmen were present from various States in the East South and West as far as Idaho Various different opinions were ex- pressed as to the shortage of wild ducks. In some sections the short age does not seem to be pronounced and it is urged that the three months shooting season be re- stored. In other sections there has been a great diminution of ducks and it was recommended that the season againbe restricted to two months. Paul G. Redington, Chief of the Biological Survey, gave a lengthy dissertation on the subject and expressed the view that pos sibly it would suffice this year if the season were fixed at two months. It is expected that what ever the curtailment of the shoot ing season there will be two per iods in Alaska, as in the Southeast ern section the birds do not appear until couple of weeks later than they do in the northern section.

ALASKA ITEMS OF INTEREST AT THE
 NATION $ CAPITOL

Dr. w. Carson Ryan, Jr., eXecu- tive assistant of Indian Affairs, and David E. Thomas, chief clerk in the office of the Alaska division, eX- pect to leave Washington in a few days and sail from Seattle on the SS Yukon, to go to the Juneau | headquarters of Indian Affairs, to consult about various pending mat ters. MT. Thomas will likely eX- tend his trip to the Westward. Var iouS suggestions are under cOnSid- eration by the bureau, one of which is opposed by the Nome Chamber of Commerce. They have wired the Delegate protesting against a change that would replace six dis trict superintendent of school and replacing them with three travel ing inspectors. The appointment of permanent Chief of the Alaska Division is under consideration, but will probably not be made until after Dr. Ryan'S return from the North.
 Delegate Wickersham has re- ceived pleas. from Alaska request ing that efforts be exerted to se- dure greater radio privileges for the Territory, so that with increas- ing watt facilities there might be encouragement for the erection and operation of more powerful broad casting stations, whereby various towns in section of the Territory might be connected by remote con- trol. The trouble is that under ex- lstlng law Alaska is part of the fifth zone and the radio facilities are divided among the States and Territories of that zone in accord ance with their population. In that respect we are somewhat handi- capped but the Federal Radio Con- mission has been very lenient and the Territory today has 24 per cent more radio facilities than it is en- titled to under the law. However, bill to amend the Radio Act of 1927 was introduced in the House and has already passed this branch of Congress and is now in the Sen- ate. The bill contains a clause. recommended by the Commission, excluding the Territories from the zones established, but otherwise the bill applies with equal force and effect. c. Mex Saltzman, chairman of the Commission, was long associated with the Signal Corps and also the Cable and Tele- graph System in Alaska, and fully appreciates the needs of the people of the NOrthland He holds out the encouragement that if the bill pass eS the Senate and becomes a law, it will possible to assign additional facilities to Alaska"

Norris and Hoover

| Senator Norris declares in the cur
rent issue Of Liberty Magazine that
II Lincoln were alive today, he would
support Franklin u. Roosevelt against
o-es:dec. Hoover. whom he desig-
mates as the champion of big bust
ness.
Be that as 1t may, Sen. Norris has
contributed an interesting article to
the 1882 campaign literature under
the caption OF why I Am a Better
Republican Than President Hoover"
He states in the opening sentences:
Il am a Republican legally because
my constituents, whose word is final,
have elected me on the Republican
ticket"
Denying yehemently that he owes
no obligation to party, but merely
the obligation of representing his
constituency fearlessly and honestly,
he draws an interesting comparison
between his and President Hoover's
conception of public service.
In Nebraska, Norris insurgency has
cost him nothing politically with the
voters. When he ran the last time,
he was swept into office by a ire
mendous majority, indicating that
the direct primary is fast making a
farce out of party organization. The
two cannot exist and as long as there
are primaries there will be political
lone-wolveS. 1t is not the party's
fault. Party rule has gone by the
boards and primary commitments su-
persede it whether for better or for
worse. Some say the latter and some
the former.
Senator Norris would curtailI
sharply party control and discipline.
He advocates the abolition of the
electoral college and direct election
Of presidents.

Building Points the Way

A survey and forecast for the build
ing industry in the United States
during the next year, just completed
by the magazine, American Archi-
tect, indicates that the great build
ing trades are about to emerge from
the depression.
The survey shows, for instance, that
fully $l,75o,o 100000 is going to be spent
during the next IL months on new
building projects and on moderniza-
ton work.

Rod Is here" says the magazine.
Building activity begins its steady,

the fall of 1892"
II this survey is correct, 1t is ex-
tremely good news. There can be nc

building industry: and. conversely, il
the building industry revives, it can
be expected to carry other industries
up with it.

APOLOGY TO WALL PAPER
INDUSTRY

May %, 1882, the subject of the ar
ticle in this column was "A Case of
Wall Paper Poisoning" which had oc-
Cured IN England. quoted the find
ingS of the analyst-one-t third of a
grain of arsenic in the seven-year- old
child's body, and his observation that
the arsenic was given off in gaseous
form from the wall paper in the sit
ting room in the home Of the little
victim, due to the effects of spores of
kind of mold that grows vigorously
on damp paper. The wall paper was
dyed green with either Paris green
! copper arsenite) or Schweinfurt
green (aceto-arsenite of copper.
I called particular attention to the
fact that the arsenic had been alb
sorbed by inhalation of the gas formed
by the modest some authorities"
explain that it was absorbed through
the pores of the skin. So far, so
good. But I went on to that arsenic
is an ingredient in many wall papers,
III the ink or color, especially in green
papers" That was where I tipped
over the apple cart. The wall paper
industry of the United States didn't
like it a bit. And I don't blame the
wall paper industry. I should have
limited my assertion to apply to wall
paper manufactured twenty or thirty
years ago or earlier. Or should have
explained that the use of arsenical
colors in the preparation Of wall pa
per and artificial flowers Is now only
IF Ecfn 3v,tn IN, t1,a TIy,i& nd
States-the aniline colors having been
universally adopted In these indus
tries here.
No doubt much wall paper still on
the walls Of old houses contains a
large amount of arsenic and gives off
nic-compounds in gaseous form
from the action of mold upon the
paper. But the present wall paper
industry Is not responsible for that. so
I offer this explanation and apology.
While modern homes have no ar
senic in the wall paper, if they have
any wall paper, it Is probably true
that the hazard Of chronic arsenical
poisoning from domestic and indus
trial sources is much greater today
than it has ever been before. Fur
workers and wearers, greenhouse
workers. orchard and garden workers
(arsenic In sprays, hide handlers.
taxidermists, makers or handlers of
sheep dip. glass makers. shelters, ETC.,
are exposed. Arsenic compounds are
much used in preseryativeS and in
secticides. in baths. powders, sprays.
Persistent conjunctivitis, coryza, &C.
zematous rashes, anemic pallor and
obscure nervous LESSONS without a
known cause should arouse suspicion
of chronic arsenic poisoning.
One manufacturer Of wall paper
sends me detailed description Of the
Marsh test for arsenic, which any
high school chemistry student can
perform.
Hyposulphite Of soda (photogra-
piers hypo) is still a good antidote
or remedy for chronic arsenic poison
ing. Twenty grains OF 1t may be
taken internally, with glass of water
or some sweetened or favored syrup,
twice a day for period Of several
weeks.
Whatever may happen in England,
there is now no reason to fear arsenic
poisoning from wall paper in the
United States or Canada.
