STATE DEPT. TO. MAKE COMPLETE. FISH INQUIRY.
Governor Assured Depart ment Will See Japanese
 Invasion Problem to End

Assurance that the State De- partment is not making a perfume tory survey but proposes to stay with the problem until a conclus- sion is reached, was given Gov. John w. Troy at his conference aboard the Fisheries vessel Brant off Sitka Wednesday by Leo Stur- geon, who is representing the State Department in the investigation be- ing made of the reported Japanese invasion of Alaska fishing waters.
 The Governor flew over to meet the Brant and confer with Bu- reau of Fisheries officials and the representative of the State Depart ment relative to the reported in vasion. The Chief Executive stress ed to the officials that the matter is one of great importance to AL aska and emphasized the suggestion made by Delegate Anthony J. Di- mond that the old three-mile limit be abandoned in favor of Emile limit. He pointed out the efforts Iof the Bureau of Fisheries toward conserving the salmon industry in Alaska and presented some of the ldata that Archie Shiels, President of Pacific Alaska Fisheries, and other fishing authorities have gath ,ered relative to the probmlem. To See Problem Through MT Sturgeon assured me the State Department is going to the bottom of this matter" the Gov 'ernor said. Tt is no perfunctory survey that it is making. MT. Stur- geon will leave the Brant when the vessel arrives in the Bristol Bay region and will board the Coast Guard cutter to carry on further his investigation"
 This morning the Governor was in receipt of a radiogram from H. B. Friele of the Nakat Packing Corporation which he immediately forwarded to MT. Sturgeon.
 The message read:
 Freile Sees Jap Salmon
 T flew yesterday afternon for half an hour over one large Jap anese floating cannery, the Taiyo Maru, with the auxiliary fishing vessels located about 28 miles off shore from Ugashik. One vessel had about 10000 freshly caught salmon on board. Large quantities of fish ing gear of the surface type was plainly in view This is conclus- i've evidence that the Japanese ves- lsels operating in Bristol Bay are fishing for salmon This indeed lis a serious matter for the Terri tory as well as the fishermen and the industry"
 MT. F'riele said he expected to be in Juneau by July IS for confer ence with the Governor on the matter.

AT CRUCIAL STAGE

HONOLULU, H. l., July 9. - Equatorial rains and squalls threat ened to interrupt the search for the missing Earhart plane as Navy air. men considered the hunt is entering the most crucial phase.
 A radiogram from the battleship Colorado says three planes were catapulted into the air again today and it is the belief that if the avia- trix and her co-pilot are alive they should be able to locate them.
 Flights were made yesterday and definitely eliminated the possibility the plane is down in the area around the charted Winslow reefs, which, however, the airmen were unable to find
 Mariners here said they believed the charts are off, or else the reefs have sunk.

FISH CHARGES MRS. FOR. HAS
 EvADED TAXES
Tells Committee to Probe Two Roosevelts, Morgen-

WASHINGTON, July 9.-Repre- sentative Hamilton Fish, Jr., of New York, told the Joint Congress sional Committee Investigating the evasions of income tax, that Mrs Roosevelt availed herself of a tax loophole and he read what he said was photostatic copy of contract she signed two years ago for radio broadcasts He said the contract stipulated that after each of ten programs the sponsors were to pay $3,000 to the American Friends Service Committee of Philadelphia
 If she can avail herself of a loop hole, then anybody else in America can do the same thing" said Fish.
 Representative Fish further said that he believed the committee should call for income tax returns of James Roosevelt, Mrs. Anna Roosevelt Boettiger, Secretary Mor- genthau, and his ia ather, Harry Hopkins, and John L. Lewis.
 In reply to Fish, Representative Vinson declared that "all your tes- timony is pure, unadulterated hear say. What are you doing but smearing the Administration"
 Pressed by Vinson, Representative Fish asserted that the information came from MT. Darcy, 30 Rocke- Ifeller Center, New York, whom he said came to his office and stated he had photostatic copies, includ- ing the Bahamas holding company formed by James Roosevelt, which under the revenue laws permits a deduction up to IS per cent of in come for charitable contributions

wAsKEY MAKES REPORT

ABOARD FISH COMMISSION BOAT SCOTER, via radio to Kama kanak, by Frank Waskey, of Dilling- ham, July 9.-Alaska's first Delegate to Congress says: We have seen Japanese boats fishing near our shores. They have been augmented each year by an increasing fleet.
 Tn my opinion it is only a mat ter of a short time until they will be fishing for more salmon which means this curtails our run. There should be a definite stand taken against foreign fishing boats. These fish originate in American waters protected by the Bureau of Fisher ies and American interests. making them an American product and not a subject for international law"

Tribe Of Honey Hunters

There is tribe Of honey hunters
in Africa. The Wagindo men follow
the call of the honey bird because
it always knows where the bees
hoard may be found. When the ma
tive hears the birds note he drops
his spade, leaves his crops and with
only his spear and a fre-stick sets
out to find the treasure of wild
honey. He uses his fire-stick to light
a smouldering fire to smoke out
the bees, and then cuts down the
tree and gathers the hoard. He al
ways leaves grubs of the bees for
the bird guide. The Wagindo men
have their own hives, which they
set in the forest far from beaten
tracks, and so hidden that only the
owner himself can find them.

EVERYONE A DRIVER

One reason why our country has
such a deplorable record of death
and injury on the highways. is the
prevailing idea that practically
everybody is competent to drive all
automobile. If there were not so
many cars. and if most drivers were
content with slow speed. it might be
truly considered that almost anyone
could drive a car satisfactorily.
Almost anyone should be able to
drive a car along country road
where there is little traffic. But to
take a. car into a crowded city, obey
all rules and regulations. watch the
cops. the signals. and the warning
signs. look out for pedestrians. and
avoid collisions. calls for good deal
o. judgment.
A large number of people are too
nervous and impatient to make good
drivers. They can't bear to wait for
anybody. Then there are panicky
people who lose self-cOntrOl.
If the idea prevailed that almost
anybody is competent 10 he "A loco
motive engineer. we should see many
more railroad accidents. On the
highways. public sentiment seems TO
feel that anybody who wants to try
driving a car should be allowed to
have one. at least until he commits
some reckless act A number of
states require candidates for driving
licenses TO pass tests of fitness to
drive. A candidate may pass such a
test very satisfactorily while the ex-
aminer is watching him. and yet act /
like very daredevil when he gets

So long as the people favor this
freedom in extending this privilege.
drivers need close watch
ing. Those who are not competent
should either be shown how to run
heir cars, or else be deprived of
heir privilege. If applicants for
licenses were required to take a
course of instruction under some
teacher. many of them
would improve their driving ability.

AMERICA HAS NO FRIENDS!

A statesman recently remarked
that America has not one friend
among the nations of the world. Per-
haps this is natural, since many OF
the nations owe us money, and cred
itors are never popular. The United
States has rich resources. SO that liv-
ing conditions are better here. That
creates envy. e,e
The world is full of rancor and
hatred. Differences in language sep
arate the nations. and they wet mis-
conceptions of each other. In reality
the people of most nations are kindly
disposed. We need movements to
create friendship with other coun-
tries. The man without friends lives
sorry life, and the disliked nation
may need friends some. dsy.

WHEN WATER WAS UNHEALTHY

The historian of Harvard College
notes that beer was the standard
drink of the students for about 100
years after the college was founded
in 1886. At that time water was con
sidered aunwholesome. Very likely
water drinking was dangerous then,
considering low careless people were
in those times about contaminated
water.
The ancient world knew little
about protecting thes public health.
People had large families of chill
dren. and it was considered newt
able that some of them should die
young. Probably unprotected water
supplies caused many deaths. The
art of purifying water is compare
lively recent. The first filter beds
for water supplies date back only
to 1899, when such a system was
built in England. Today cities and
towns usually have good water sup
plies. but in innumerable outlying
homes the wells and springs are still
contaminated.

ORGANIZATIONS PROMOTE
PROGRESS

Young peoples societies. including
Boy Scouts. Girl Scouts. Boys and
Girls Clubs. the Young Mems and
Young Women's Christian Associa-
ton. and scores of others are a big
feature of modern life. They take
the boy who used to stand on the
street corner and spit into the gut
ter. and the girl who used to dream
over trashy stories, and give these
youngsters something active to do.
AS result of spending their time
in energetic doing rather than idle
loaflng. the present generation of
young people have twice the ca
pacity their parents had at their
age. Just give them a chance and
you are going to see them turn the
world upside down.

WORLD WAR ANNIVERSARY

On April 6. 1917. the American peO-
pie did something that a few years
before would have seemed simply in
conceivable. They declared war
against the central powers Of Europe,
and within a few weeks were pre-
pairing to send great army over
there to conquer Germany and her
allies. t: .t
If anyone three years before that
date had prophesied that the United
States would do any such thing, he
would have been treated as a dream
CT who perhaps had had a night
mare as the result of over-eating.
Such an action seemed at that time
absurdly improbable. 1t was be-
lieved by many that never again
would there be any great war,
though the big countries might have
10 thrash some obstreperous little
nation that needed chastisement.
That any first class nation would
SNSI again SO W wal oCSiueu uitilhc-
~. 1t was argued that the weapons
of destruction had become so fatal
and terrible that no big nation would
dare risk it. Also that business ties !
between the countries had become
so intimate. that financial powers
and commercial relations would put
down any bellicose statesman who
showed desire to fight.
While some people had visions of
a foreign attack ON the territory of
the United States. the idea OF send
ing an army to Europe occurred to
almost no one. 1t was too far re-
moved from all our traditions.
Well. we know what happened as
the result of that war declaration 20 ,
years ago. A catastrophe so great
that it has left its mark of sorrow
and tragedy on millions of families. |
And it created such financial and ,
commercial havoc that we still bear 7
its burdens. All which is a warning a
to keep out of wars in future. v

BRIGHT DAYS OF SPRING

There is no season of the year thai
awakens more enthusiasm than the
spring. From earliest history popu-
lar celebrations have occurred at
this period. In former times it was
with the warmest enthusiasm that
people escaped from the burdens OF
winter. In those days the cold
weather meant poorly heated houses,
shivering people. suffering from dis
ease due to exposure.
With poor lighting facilities. the
evenings were dark and dismal.
Without automobiles, people could
not get around much. In most parts
of our country. roads were blocked
with snow. 1t was difficult for many
people in outlying sections to obtain
supplies. 1t was period of discom-
fort, suffering. solitude. Many fami-
lies just about hibernated. and they
became cross and grouchy.
When the higher suns of spring
time thawed the SHOWS and dried up
the mud in the roads, what senti-
ment of relief there was.
The winter of today is made more
comfortable with our modern heating
and lighting. The roads are as a
usual rule passible. and we can get
around in our cars. Winter is still
uncomfortable enough so it wins no
popularity contests, though the more
vigorous folks and the young people
are keen on snow and ice sports.
Spring breezes and bright sunshine
refresh us with kind of magic
touch. 1t seems as if the heavenly
powers had put a new breath of life
into us, some new vitality into the
air. and we feel stimulated.
Spring invites us to resume pas
times, to wander through the coun-
try. and perhaps neglect our work.
Happy days are here again" The
men examine their favorite imple-
ments. whether fish rods. golf clubs,
or garden tools. Once more the life |
of outdoor America begins.

WHY SOME pON'T ADVERTISE

A man in a certain line Of busi-
ness was asked why he didn't adver-
.tise. He replied. +oh. they all know
about me and my business"
Now was that true? Many of them
might know he was in business, and
think favorably of him, and yet they
might have very little idea of the
kind of service he was rendering.
Probably he was selling good many
things that they knew nothing about,
and had lines which they could have
used with much advantage If they
had known about them. To win any
decided success, man not only has
to make himself known personally,
but he needs TO do some forceful
talking about his goods.
