Company-declared they dismissed the men only after they had de- clined to live up to the terms of their employment contract. The men, they said, had been hired in Seattle on contract specifying a price of 1912 cents for red salmon. On their arrival at Cordova, they were induced to join the local fish, ermen in a strike for higher prices.
 The canners reported that they had raised their prices to 25 cents, based on a price of $7 per case, currently quoted, and promised to raise it to 30 cents when and if the price went to $8. These terms, they claimed, were rejected by the fishermen who refused to work

stripes. These are prominent on the
hind wings. The under surface Of
her wings is a slaty brown, with
lovely silver crescents on the hind
wings.
The male has wing-Spread OF 3l2
inches. The apex of the fore wing is
rounded The upper surfaces of his
wings show slightly more than half
as solid, brownish black, and the re-
mainder orange brown. This is marked
with darker brown spots and vein
lines. The under surfaces of his
wings are light buff, marked with
black and silver creScents, and spots
are on the hind wings.
The clubs of the antenna are
nearly twice as long as they are broad,
and are strangely spoon-shaped. Most
of these butterflies are beautifully
mottled in various tones Of red, black
or brown. The diana male is the
prize member.
The males are to be seen first, about
the middle of August. They fit about
over the blossoms of the iron weed.
Then the females join them and they
find their mates. The mother always
selects the leaves of voilets on which
to anchor her eggs. They soon hatch
into little spined black caterpillars.
These youngsters eat of the violet
leaf, grow fat and shed tight clothes.
When the larvae are about to seek
shelter for the Winter, they become
rather lazy. About this time they
are large and a velvety black. They
are brown-headed ana have rows of
f1eshy barbed spines that have orange
tints at their bases. These caterpil-
lars hibernate close to the surface
of the ground. Early the following
Summer they will mature and will
be seen making the blossom of the
iron weed.
These butterflies are alert and wary.
1t is not easy to net them, as they
are high flyers. The female has the
habit of selecting the tallest iron weed
on which to alight. She always rests
with both wings motionless, and at the
slightest disturbance will rise high
into the air and go back to the woods.
The male seems to be satisfied with
the lower purple blossoms and is
therefore easier to catch. If you know
that you have the type Of woods,
water slopes, violets and iron weeds
all that seem to be necessary for the
happiness of these fritillaries-this
gives you the information you need.
and you can look forward at least to
seeing these very beautiful Mdsum-
mer butterflies.

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE w. SPROWLS.
Problems.

IT HAS been said that "every man
l. has his problems" This is a sweep
ing statement. Sweeping statements
are usually half truths, for there are
thousands of persons in the United
States today who really have no prob
lens.
The problems Of life are always
connected with ambition. When one
loses ones ambition, ones problems
disappear. How do your ambitions
come to create problems?
In order to answer this question
we must introduce another term. That
term is called attention. The ambi-
tious person is always attending tc
things related to the ambition in
question. When you really attend
to something, you begin to realize
the complexities of the situation. Then
the pros and cons, the whethers OF
noes begin to appear. After a while
your thinking is blocked temporarily
When this pause in mental activity
comes, your problems stand before
you.
To sum it all up, your problems are
as great as your ambitions, and as
real as the amount of effort you ex-
pend in their realization.

The Hay Diet
New Way to Vibrant Health.
BY WILLIAM HOWARD HAY, M. ID.

The residues are 50 intensely acid that
they irritate the lining membrane Of
stomach or duodenum, causing the
pain, even vomiting, where the trouble
is chiefly in the stomach itself.
The diagnostic difference between
ulcer Of the stomach wall and the
duodenum, Immediately below the
stomach, is one Of time. The gastric
irritation occurs soon after the intake
of the food. Irritations in the duo
denum develop two or three hours
after the meal, owing to the fact that
for about this length of time the ma
terial in the stomach has not been
sufficiently reduced to permit :. its
passage into the duodenum. But
when the pyloric valve opens and per-
mits Of the passage of food into the
duodenum it is then that pain is felt.
This Is always relieved by again eat
ing, as eating starts another digestive
cycle and the pylorus is again closed
till once again the food has reached
the condition that permits of its pass
age into the duodenum.
If gastric or duodenal ulcer Is pres
ent or strongly suspected, clean house.
Conflne the diet to those foods that do
not call for hydrochloric acid, and
soon you will be well.

We of today do not believe that there

~ AJAMAS really are fun to
make, if you have a pattern
that does its share. Ours, for
i today, is one that does, for it
meets two important require
ments-the wearer'S comfort and the
sewers guidance. For Christmas gifts
to the men of the family, nothing is
quite so nice as the things they find
useful every day of the year.
The most popular pajamas with the
men, this year, are the plain, collar
less ones, as shown in the sketch.
They have a preference for these Sc
we're models, because they can send
them to the laundry without forebod-
ings about the outcome. The seam
less simplicity appeals to them, over
those more important looking models,
with complicated revers, for they re-
tain their original tailored lines until
their usefulness is over.
The range of materials for Winter
use begins with washable poplin,
broadcloths, madras, shirting and out
ing flannel, and ends up with pongee.
These are all sensible fabrics-each of
them having the approval of the men
themselves. At the moment. there is
