to set up a Reforming Line directly connected to each Can Filling Line, and automatically controlled so that cans are reformed and bottom put on only as needed in the cannery
 The past years have shown a steady process of development from the original cannery turning out from 150 to 200 cases per day, to the modern plant putting up much better product at rate of 2000 cases and sometimes more, to a single packing line per day
 A great deal of credit is due to the men who operate the machines. They have contributed ideas which have helped the can manufacturers and machinery makers to attain the present high state of efficiency of their products.
 With the combined efforts of the manufacturers and the canners we look for still greater progress in the auture

to him he must trust the safe han ding of his goods and the proceeds of sale. The same faith in the sales agent upon the part of the buyer is desirable, and in many cases as essential since to him the buyer must look for adherence to quality standards, assurance in the stability of the sellers contracts and guar antee of trade practices that are not discriminating.
 The ideal to which the earnest broker aspires is that peculiar po- sition of absolute fairness to seller and buyer, based upon a perfect sales organization, perfect Judgment. perfect execution of detail, and that unheard of perfect balance of SUD- ply and demand which would pro- duce an annual cleanup at prices which would insure a profit for everyone concerned!
 In many respects, the marketing of the 1886 pack threatened the ac- complishment of the ideal-it is conceivable that in the promise of more abundant life" will be in- cluded in the state described above.

AS the pack progresses and the packer is busy with his plant opera tion, the broker must judge the weight of trade factors affected by the apparent size of the pack, so that he may advise his principal in arriving at fair price This judg- ment is formed after drawing upon the information supplied by his as- sociate brokers in many markets. and upon its soundness often de- bends the success or failure of the marketing operation and the re- turns the packer receives for his seasons work.
 Broker is Field Marshal
 Once the price is named, the bro- ker goes into action on all fronts his office takes on the semblance of a field marshaps headquarters, directing hundreds of troops" by telephone, telegraph and mail - troops which are competing not alone with those of other salmon sellers, but troops of sellers of other food items-all of whom seek the ear of the jobber's buyer.
 All business submitted is not good business. The care with which the selling agent has recruited his troops and the accuracy of his in- formation and instructions deter mine the share of good business the sales agent has to offer to his packer
 After booking the business it must be shipped and paid for before the packer can begin to reckon his re- suits. Changing conditions and sen- timents between the dates of sale and shipment determine the facil- lty with which the product flows to market and beyond-to the con- sumer, often testing to the utmost the reSourcefulness of the selling agent. In weak market the buyer is reluctant to order his goods for ward. A bad market produces delay m acceptance of and payment for goods arriving. The necessity for converting canned salmon into cash influences the sellers tolerance of trade practices and it is the agents function to go between and satisfy all concerned, without disrupting the flow of business.
 For his services, the broker re- ceives a compensation which is far less than the selling cost of many other products or commodi- ties.
 Faith in the sales agent on the part of the packer is essential. as

The Weighing Machine also in- sures the purchaser that he will have no short weight cans. even ii the average weight is correct.
 Vacuum Process
 The most outstanding develop ment in salmon canning was the advent of the vacuum process. This first made it's appearance shortly after the World War and since 1926 has developed so rapidly that it is now almost universally used. Its advantages are many: It displaees the cumbersome exhaust box, some forty feet long and ten feet wide, and the attendant cloud of steam in the cannery. A modern vacuum clos ing machine will handle 150 to 160 cans per minute and requires prac- tically no attention.
 Even the Retort in which salmon is cooked in the cans has been keep ing pace with other cannery equip ment, Not so long ago, 1915, most Retort doors were held in place by a series of swing bolts. Considerable time was consumed in opening and closing Now, doors are made to lock by the turning of one .arge hand wheel in the center of the door.
 Fish Cleaning Progresses
 During the machine development for the handling of cans, the meth- eds of cleaning fish were also mak- ing progress. Perhaps as late as 1910, the general practice in the canneries was to hand clean all fish. Now the butcher knife age is gone and a modern fish cleaning machine, com -m0rly known as the Iron Chink" will accommodate itself to the smallest salmon, running 9 or more to case. up to the largest "chums' running six to the case, and clean them at inc rate of sixty or more fish per minute
 The first Iron Chink" was used on Puget Sound in 1903. There is some hand work to be done after this machine delivers the fish, but it is very slight compared to the great number Of fish worked on by the machine.

the Pacific Coast. This would make twenty cans per minute. There has tcen a gradual development year by year. a refinement of design and materials. until our present speed and perfection of workmanship has been attained in the modern tin can
 The present type of sanitary" esa was first used in Alaska in lel1. and came into very general use about 1913. This was a great step in advance of the old soldered can which had more or less solder cn the inside at the various joints. The sanitary can has a lock side eeam with all of the solder on the outside and the ends double scanned cato the body without the use of any gelder.
 Or course in these early canneries. OH cans were filled by hand. The processing at that time was very much of a secret, only the owners If the business were allowed in the room where this was done. In the iirst Pacific Coast cannery. this was all done by Mir. Hapgood in person. who had been engaged in canning salmon and lobster on the Atlantic Coast. This process was
 imply a case of cooking in open water tanks. The cans had a vent tole in the top and were immersed in boiling water to within perhaps cne inch of the top. This cooking lasted for about one hour. then the yent hole was sealed with a drou cf solder. This amounted to the ex- raust box procedure in use later The cans were next placed in boiling ralt water or brine to attain a higher temperature They were cooked another hour in this manner
 Hand Filling Over
 Hand filling in Alaska is practi. cally thing of the past except 1T . few localities and for fancy grade. Of fish Machine filling dates bacl 10 1875 when Matthias Jensen. of As. toria Oregon built fhe first ma. chine for putting fish into cans

This original filler operated at a speed of about twenty cans per min ute. It was single plunger type of machine which, through a procecs of development finally attained a speed of eighty to ninety cans per minuSe. The demands of canners fer more speed made necessary by the constant shortening, year by year, of the fishing season, forced the development in 1927, of the Ro- tary six-plunger Can Filler which is capable of filling better than 1G0 cans per minute
 In preparing the fish for the can filler, they are cut into lengths slightly shorter than the can. Be- fore the machine age in salmon can neries this was done by a Chinese whose only equipment was a butcher knife. Later, a series of knives were mounted on shaft and operated by long handle With this device a whole fish could be chopped into proper lengths. A still later deVel- 7pment was set of rotating circu- lar knives mounted above an eleva-
 or whose buckets were slotted to pass the knives, the latest deVel- epment is a machine or unit of the 2an filler that takes the whole fish. cuts 1t in pieces and feeds the pieces into the can filler. This method has shoWn great improvement in the quality of the filling as it uniformly distributes the different sections of a fish so that it is practically im- possible to have two short tail cuts 3cme together in the same can. as was often the case when the pieces Of fish are fed into the Can Filler hopper by hand.
 Weighing Machine New
 Another fairly recent development 10 the salmon canning line is the weighing machine. This unit is placed next in the line after the Can Filler and just ahead of the | patching table where a group of two 70 four workers inspect the cans to See that they are properly filled. Without the weighing machine. cans could look well filled and would get oy the inspection and still be slight y underweight. The weighing ma chine takes each can onto a balance and If it is not up to standard weight llt passes it cut onto a track on he table where more fish can be added by hand. If the can is correct weight it is passed straight along the -able through the Clincer and into the Closing Machine Some types of weighing machines also set out on another track, cans that are oyer weight While it is not worth the time it takes to refil such cans ii IS an Indication that the filler may De adjusted to put little less weight ID the cans. This may mean a very real saving to the canner

The filling of trays with cans, making them ready for the cooking process, is also done by machines in some canneries, and the arduous work of lifting trays filled with cans, about 240 pounds each, is largely done now with an air hoist.
 Hand Work Lessens
 Throughout the cannery each year, is seen something new to les sen the hand work, and to make things more sanitary.
 It might be well here to say a word about fish handling methods. as it has bearing on the cleanliness and freshness of the salmon pack.
 Fish are brought to the canneries speedily with modern, powerfully engined motor boats, and unloaded by a system of elevators which in sure minimum amount of handling and make it possible to get the fish into cans in less than "A hours from the time they are taken from the water.
 We have described the old time methods of hand made cans and mentioned the speed of a modern can making machine in the first part of this article. A trip through the can loft of modern cannery would show an astonishing quan- tity of cans stored in a small space This was made possible by the in yention Of the collapsed can about 1914.
 Cans Described
 Collapsed" cans are round can bodies, flattened out at the time of manufacture so that an ordiuary salmon case, made to hold forty eight one pound tall cans, will ac- ccmodate 360 flattened bodies This makes remarkable saving in the space required for storage and 6 reduction in shipping expense. 1 When collapsed cans are used, the can manufacturer furnishes a re- forming line to change the can body from it's flattened form back to the original round shape. This line con- sists of a Reformer Hanger, and a Steamer to apply the bottom end on the can. It is common practice

Mike Sachs

Ladies in Lingerie, current at
traction at the Gayety, has many
points of excellence, but the out
standing quality of the show is
found in its comic, Mike Sachs.
Mr.. Sachs, playing opposite his
usual feminine foil, Alice Kennedy,
does his usual good job. One Of
the best "muggers" on the stage,
Mr.. Sachs has a keen idea Of nd
NOR, particularly the sort tnat
burleSque audiences want.
Anyway, the team of sachs and
Kennedy has no difficulty in top
ping an unusually good show at
the Gayety this week.
Next to the Sachs talents, the
thing on the program that most
impresSes is one luscious blonde,
Ina Thomas. Miss Thomas is
really beautiful and has a 1000
volt stage personality. If you are
one of the bald-headed boys who
like to infest the first row, you'll
not want to miss this lady.

side and, with Lou Petel doing
most of the straight stuff, man.

bizarre makeup and this and his
humor are reminiscent of an older

BARRYMORE SHINES
1t is too much to expect Nelson
Eddy to be a grade A actor while
he can sing in manner to make
sensitive audiences sigh. Suffice
that his voice is rich in both
beauty and power, that it has
been exquisitely served by the COM
posers.
For all of his romantic didoes.
John Barrymore is still a great
actor. I have never seen him give
an inferior performance, and as
the moody impresario of May
time" he is at his very best.
In the supplementary roles are
Lynne Carver, Herman Bing, Tom
Brown, Sig Rumann and Arefelia
Ortiano, the latter doing a tip-top
piece of acting as the prima don
mas maid-companion.
