SALMON A FISH
OF GREAT VALUE
Supports a Vast Industry on
Pacific Coast.
Prepared by National Geographic Society.

Washington. d. C.-WNU Service.
ONE two thousand Chinook
salmon from the Pacific coast
which were hatched in the
aquarium of Washington's new De
partment of Commerce building.
will be placed In Deep Creek lake,
Maryland, whose waters drain into
the upper Potomac. 1t is hoped the
fish will find their way 10 salt wa
ter and return. in four years, to
spawn, thus stocking the historic
river.
Pacific salmon are the most valu-
able fishes, not only of the United
States but also of the entire west
ern hemisphere; and with the
single exception Of the sea her
rings, they are commercially the
leading fishes of the world.
In one year the aggregate catch
Of salmon in the Pacific states,
British Columbia and Alaska was
upward OF four hundred million
pounds; which. as sold in a canned,
salted. smoked, frozen and fresh
condition. had a market value of
about S27.75O,0OO. The canned
product alone, consisting Of more
than five million cases of 4S one
pound cans. was worth S2j,50O,O00.
Thirty-five thousand people were en-
gagged in the different branches Of
the industry, and the invested cap
ital was fully S30.0O0OO0.
There are five distinct species Of
salmOns. which. having many char
acteristics in common neverthe-
less differ strikingly in size, color,
habits, distribution. food value, and
economic Importance. The largest
and most magnificent Of all salm-
ons Is the Chinook, Quinnat, King,
Spring. or Tyee salmon. 1t has an
average weight of nearly p pounds
In the Columbia river. and is often
caught weighing 40 to 60 pounds,
while occasionally examples of
over 100 pounds are taken. While
found from California 70 China. it
attains it's greatest abundance in
the Sacramento. Columbia, Yukon
and other large streams.
Blueback Has Its Faults.
The species called Blueback
salmon on the Columbia. Sockeye
on Puget Sound. and Reddish or
Red Salmon in Alaska. averages
only FIVE pounds in weight and
never exceeds twelve. 1t attains

are clever at making rolled hens
tits no trick at all after you know
how finish the edges in that way,
for it adds greatly to the appear
ance of the cape to be so daintily
hemmed.
About the most thrilling item
brought out this season Is the lit
tie jacket made either of pique or
linen. All the young girls, the debu-
tantes, their sisters, will be wear
ing some type or other of these linen
or pique jackets before long. The
model in the picture, to the left,
intrigues because of its young look
ing lines and it's smart detail. 1t
has the fashionable round, collar
less neck. The fastening Is made
decorative by nine buttons and
'eye" buttonholes down the front.
This Is the simplest type of button
hole to make. Crochet the little hat
Of mercerized cotton.
Speaking of crochet, note the
gloves the figure to the left below
in the group is wearing. This re-
sourceful young woman converts a
pair of ordinary white fabric gloves
into high-style item by working
an insert of hand crochet over the
back of the hand and adding deep
fiaring crocheted cuffs (using mer-
cerized crochet cotton). One could
secure directions for crocheting at
any fancywork department. The rip
pling collar which she wears is
made Of pique, the points so dove
tailed as to achieve a sprightly
flare. The other collar and cuff set
Is easily made Of pique which is
quilted with six-cord, number sixty
thread.

streams throughout Alaska. It's
meat is rich in quality. deep red in

great demand for canning. While

ter it deteriorates rapidly in food
value and appearance, the head
turns to olive green. and the entire
back and sides become crimson and
finally dark blood red.
The Silver or CohO salmon, with
a general distribution in the coast
al streams. averages six pounds in
weight and rarely exceeds % or 80.
The smallest species is the
Humpback, so called from the we'll
marked nuchal hump developed
by the male In fall. The extremes
of weight for mature examples are
three and eleven pounds. with four
pounds as the average. The region
of greatest abundance Is Puget
Sound to southeast Alaska.
The remaining species, the Dog
or Chum salmon, averages eight
pounds In weight. It is generally
distributed and abundant. but. ow-
ing to the poor quality of the flesh.

The distortion of the jaws in the
male during the breeding season,
while characteristic of all species,
is particularly marked in the Dog
salmon.

From San Berdue" the horse and

AS matter of fact, nobody even

All this time | was still nursing
the urge to tell the whole world
how awful the western pictures
were and my opportunity came with
a bang when William Fox signed me
to a long term contract.
After much discussion pro and
con. finally persuaded Mr.. Fox to
let me try one picture of my -four

ern.
TO make sure in case anything
went wrong, was certain to get the
blame, Mr.. Fox made me write the
stories, direct them and play the
leads. The results, I say with all
due modesty. were far beyond my
own expectations.
Their immediate success con-
vinced many producers that West
ern stories written by Eastern ten

breed of actors didn't have the same
ring of realism in them, so my two

WIDOW DENIES
POISON CHARGE

SALEM, Mass, March 18
GN.SO.-A love affair and a
$4,000 insurance policy played a
prominent part as dual motives
considered by autorities in the
poison death mystery of a fire
captain, William j. Costello, of
Peabody, it was learned today.
The suspected motive was kept
secret by authorities after a
charge of first degree murder had
been lodged against the captains
widow, Mrs. Jessie B. Costello, 81,
following a grand jury indict'
ment, and she was taken to a
cell in Salem Jail.
"I'm innocent of this and I'll
be vindicated."
This is what the young brunette
mother of three children told
Mrs. Margaret Howe. Jail matron
Costello died of poisoning Feb
ruary IT. His wife admitted that
the day before her husbands
death she had bought a quantity
of poison. but insisted she in.
tended to use it for cleaning
purposes.
