 AS you looked forward to the four years Tn high school and the four more in college, with all their tests and examinations looming be1ore you graduation seemed impossible. Now, as you LOOK back you smile at your youthful fears.
 If the ordinary man were confronted With the task of clearing twenty graveyard of wrecked cars and trucks, the size of the task would seem appalling. And yet it would simply be case ol removing after another.
 Many times in life difficulties too great to master loom before all of us. But when we get right up to those tasks they either seem smaller than we first visoned them, or our ideas and powers grew to meet the issue.
 Analyze the thing you are dreading today Take it apart and examine it bit by bit It isn't so terrible You can only live minute at time, and can only do small part of the total task each minute You can accomplish that which is before you if worry and fear do not prevent your getting going and continuing until you nave oone the thing that appeared impossible.
 The building of the Grand Coulee dam IS a gigantic task but the head of the contracting firm that handles the job knows that it is not impossible because it is merely the completing of great number of small and easily accomplished feats His experience has taught him not to build an imaginary barrier before his vision, but rather to keep the far horizon in view as he goes ahead step by step to his ultimate objective-the com pleted job
 The satisfaction that great men enjoy in the sunset years of constructive lives must be in large part made up of pleasant little laughs at their early doubts and fears-doubts and fears that vanished as their indomitable wills drove them on and over each small obstacle until their goals were, in the lend attained

THE ALASKA FISHERMAN AND 1.-THE
 NEW DEAL"

What" asks the Republican Territorial Com nittee of Alaska. has the fisherman of Alaska gained by the New Deal?"
 In his interview that appeared in The Empire on Wednesday last Frank T. Bell, United States Commissioner of Fisheries who probably had no knowledge of any such question having been raised, gave most convincing and to unprejudiced minds a most satisfactory answer The Commissioner cited specifically twenty notifications of regulations which in existence at the time the New Deal' was ushered into power by an overwhelming vote of the American electors Every single of these changes have tended to promote the well-beng of resident Alaska fishermen and. therefore the welfare of the entire Territory.
 MT. Bell is the first to hold office as Commis- sioner of Fisheries who has given due consideration to the human element involved in the fisheries industries of the Territory He is the first to hold public hearings throughout those sections of Alaska in which fishing is the paramount industry. He is the first to give resident fishermen an unrestricted opportunity present their to air their griey- ances and to invite from them suggestions as to changes in established policies for the naugura- tion of new policies
 Figures that cannot be disputed show that in 1883 the catch of salmon by seines. almost entirely operated by Alaskan fishermen, was 56 per cent greater than it in 1882 and that the catch  in 1882.
 Since the close of the fishing of 1883 there has been net reduction of 79 fish traps, all of which were potential producers of salmon. Tn addition more than forty bays and other waters heretofore closed to commercial fishing have been opened to fishing by seines and gill nets. There has been liberalization of regulations on the type of gear such as purse seines, gill nets, set nets and beach seines commonly used by local fisher that fhev may he u1Ore All of this bears out the prediction made here by MT Bell that when the figures for the Of 1894 become available there will be shown further decrease in the total salmon caught by traps and an increase in the catch by seines"
 Perhaps the most notable change made in tht fisheries setup since 1883 has been the opening O the yukon River and the Kuskokwim River to com mercial fishing by bona fide permanent residents

 Not So Bad
 As is was, in the Heart -Tommies game, it was not until the seventh inning that the game was iced for Dom Guerrero was doing well as a replacement for Lefty Atwood, who suddenly severed his services with the Tommies but five runs in the seventh and eight. settled whatever doubt there was as the ultimate winner Speed" Conway held the Tommies well in check just four singles being allowed, while some juggling by his team mates spoiled a whitewash win for him. Gagain, Murphy, Flaherty, Doran and Ahern all came through with hits that helped pile up the seven run total, while Conway himself brought home two with a single in the seventh. Summary:

Now that the Matron Stake, one or the dress rehearsals for the Hamletonian Is history, with Emily Stokes acclaimed victor, 1t looks as if Fred Egan's green and gold colors which trailed in the dust at Goshen last August when his Brown Berry stumbled, will flash home first in. the harness turfs classic.
 Another One
 Not satisfied with having Emily Stokes, owned by c. w. Phellis, New York City, well up in front for Hambletonian honoFs, Egan whirl- ed Princess Peg, another Hamble- tonian candidate, home first here in the Peninsular Farm purse. The latter bay mare Is owned by E. J. Lyle. Plainfield, N. J.
 To-day, with the Hambletonian less than five weeks away, at least six colts and Allies stand out as strong threats. In three-year.old battles to date, Muscletone, owned by Coldstream Stud Farm, Lexing- ton, Ky, and piloted by canny Doe" Parshall, has won in 2:03 1-2, a full quarter second faster than the speediest heat of the 1883 Hambletonian. Reynolda, proud property of Henry H, Knight, Chi- cago, and driven by Marvin Childs, also copped heat here of the Matron Stake before Emily Stokes took his measure in 2:03 1-4, a full half second faster than Mary Key holds trotted the Goshen blue fib- bon race in last August.
 Emily Stokes, in roaring under the wire scant nose ahead of Reynolda in two straight heats of the colorful, old Matron Stake here, clicked off both miles in 2:04, much faster time than three-year-olds customarily set at this stage of the season.
 Slowed Down
 Bertha c. Hanover, heavily tout ed for the Hambletonian, with rom Berry up, has not shown enough class yet to support her reputation as tough Ally to beat, but her trainer-pilot Is believed to be sav- ing her for forthcoming engage- ments at Toronto and Rockingham Park just prior to the Hamble- tonian.
 Vitamine, too, owned by Martin Dodd, Norfolk, Conn, and driven by Will Caton, while not impressive to date on the Raging Grand, is re- garded by horsemen as the event. ual winner of the $40,000 stake due to the colts inherent ability to trot fast and sure for the entire route.
 Fay Mack, the "old, grey mare", Lord Jim and Ella Brewer also have shown enough class so far to be strong possibilities in what now shapes itself out to be the greatest Hambletonian in history.

By HENRY McLEMORE


 United Press Stan Correspondent)
 London, July 16- (UP)-The sternest opposition to open tennis championships always has and al- ways will comefrom that powerful body, the All-England lawn Tennis Ground, Ltd, controllers of Wim- bledon.
 And no wonder, for in the great plant which is Wimbledon it has the biggest money-making show in London, if not in the world. Each annual two weeks of play produces clean profit of anywhere from $15O,00O to $200,000.
 On paper, Wimbledon is strictly amateur, but scratch beneath the surface and you find highly geared commercial machine, grasp ing for every penny in sight.
 There is absolutely no waste. Wimbledon is probably the only major tournament where players are not advised in advance when they are to play. To furnish such advice would entail the engage ment of clerical staff, the pay ment of postage. So the players are told they must read the papers for this information.
 The entrance fees are higher than anywhere else, and the food furnished the players in the club tearoom is limited to three items, cold salmon, cold cuts, and fruit salad. Nothing hot, for hot foods would require chefs, and the in- stallation of ovens.
 The ticket allowance to players is niggardly, and getting more nig- gardly with the passing of each year.
 The only serious money spent is that for the travelling and hotel expenses of the visiting stars. It is money wisely spent, however, for foreign ace will draw enough customers through the gates to pay his "hire" a hundred times over.
 One English lawn tennis critic in writing of Wimbledon and it's riches, called the amateurs the geese that lay the golden eggs" It is the perfect description. For two weeks the boys and girls work and sweat under a broiling sun to enrich the coffers of an organiza- tion which, to this observer any way, has but one connection with amateurism - the exploitation of amateurs.
 And what's true of Wimbledon is true of similar tennis organiza- tions throughout the world. The Davis cup was gold mine for the sporting club which owns and op- crates the stade Roland Garros in Paris. The national championships in America enabled the West Side Tennis club to erect that fine and imposing stadium in Forest Hills.
 And the funniest part of the whole business is the way in which the tournament officials demand that competitors observe the anna teur code right down to the last letter. Let one of the players try and make alittle money for him. self, and out he goes.
 Taking it anyway you like, the whole set-up is on- that would delight the heart and draw the praise of the smoothest racketeer and muscle man. Just try and think of anything sweeter. any touch, than having business where the worlds most skilled workmen in their line contributed their services to you free.
 Pm telling you this racquet game is aptly named.
