At the present time there exists very considerable surplus of frozen and mild cured fish much in excess of the capacity of the market to absorb and running in- to good many millions of pou- nds. A large part of the surplus consists of fish caught tin the At lantic, some taken from the Great Lakes, and some embraces the Scotch cured herring pack pro- duced in Alaska in 1886. The Scotch cured herring in storage at this time amounts. to something more than IS million pounds.
 Recently Congress passed and the President approved an Act to authorize the purchase and distribution of surplus fish, and during the past week the b.ll making an appropriation for the purpose came up for considera- tion in the House. The total au- thorization as limited at $2,000,- 900, but the Appropriations Com mittee of the House recommend ed an appropriation at this time

Weather Today GU. s. Weath ar Bureau)

Snow was falling at Anchorage this morning and also between Kaltag and Nulato on the lower Yukon. Generally cloudy skies were observed over the central and southern sections of Alaska. Rain was reported from southeast ern Alaska and had fallen last night along the Oregon-W Washing ton Coast.
 Temperature changes have been slight and unimportant during the past twenty four hours, at Alaskan Stations.
 Low barometr:c pressure is cen trad south of Kodiak Island and north of Atka on the Aleutians, this morning, while readings re- main somewhat stationary over central and northern Alaska.
 Mostly fair weather will likely continue for Nome and vicinity tonight and Saturday with not much temperature change. Gen. tie northeast surface winds are indicated.
 The lowest Nome temperature last nigh was 6 above at 11:3O pm. and the highest yesterday 26 above.

 On the following day during the debate on the bill the Dele gate spoke on the floor of the House and again urged the larger appropriation. However, other members who were equally inter ested thought it best to accept an appropriation for $1,000,000 for the present, making the reserva- ton that application would be made for the additional $1,00,- 900 if need thereof were discloS- ed after the expenditure of the first million. So the biIl calling for an appropriation of sl,000,00O passed the House on March 24th without roll call and without any serious objection. It is ex- pected to pass the Senate at an early date.

WARN DRINKING
AUTO DRIVERS
AS Well as Drinking Pedes-
trians For Causing
Many Deaths
A GROWING TENDENCY

Drinking" drivers and pedes-
trians are coming under the ober-
walton of authorities charged with
the duty of preventing highway
deaths and casualties. There is a
growing tendency all over the
country, the Delaware Automobile
Association sys, to substitute the
word drinking for drunken" in
peering into the causes of highway
smashups. In consequence of this
trend, it is now possible to approx
innate the effect of conviviality on
the driving and walking habits of
Americans. One authority esti-
mates that approximately Z per
cent of all the country's drivers in
fatal accidents last year had been
drinking. The extent of in
ebriation, of course, has not been
determined, but it is held to be
significant that any such number
should be in any degree under the
influence of intoxicants at the time
of accident. 1t also has been de-
veloped that one out of nine pedes-
trians killed in 1886 had been
drinking" prior to the accidents
which caused their deaths. Slight
ly more than S per cent of all Pc
destrians injured also were shown
to have been drinking. "On the
basis of these percentages applied
to the various classes of acci-
DENTS" said Linnaeus L. Hopes,
Executive Secretary of the Asso-
citation, ''it appears that on driv-
ers; that 1776 fatalities among pc
destrians were likewise due in
some measure to the fact that the
pedestrians had been drinking;
and that some 15,5OO pedestrian
injuries can be attributed to the
same cause"

Committee
DINNER IN WILMINGTON

Smyrna was well represented at
a meeting Tuesday, May 4, in Will
mington, of the Statewide Furni-
ture Relief Committee, a group
which has been active the past few
years in aiding needy families of
Delaware. The committee COM
prises members from nearly every
Delaware town, including repre-
sentatives from Smyrna. The COM
mittee from Smyrna was: Miss
Mildred M. Bartlett, Mrs. Dorcas
Ennis and Mrs. G. G. Garis. The
meeting was opened with winner
at $50 p. m, in the Club Room of
the Hotel DUPONT. Discussion fol-
lowed on plans for continuing work
of the committee for another year.
The committee will be guests of
Nathan Miller, PRESIDENT of Miller
Brothers Furniture Company. Mrs.
c. M. Dillon, of Wilmington, was
chairman. The work of the State
Wide Furniture Relief Committee
has been to distribute furniture
and other household articles to
needy families of the State to
make possible household rehabili-
tation. Ministers, social workers,
and other prominent citizens have
aided in the work, and through
their efforts many families have
been aided. 1t is the aim of the
committee now to place the furni-
ture distribution upon a more sci
entific and more practical basis,
and plans in this connection were
discussed at the meeting. Mem
bers from each town discussed
their share in this rehabilitation
project.

Radiant Living
THE GLORY ON THE
MOUNTAIN
By Rev. G. M. Griffeth
Pastor Calvary NJ. E. Church
Sudlersville, Md.

AS certain flowers that are most
fragrant when crushed, so is Chris
tan experience the most glorious
when heart is weary with life's
rough going.
When we are at ease in Zion our
spiritual real seems to quiet down
into reposeful slumber. But
when adversities hammer us into
wakefulness our faith becomes
strong, our hope brightens, and our
JOY rings out.
This fact of Christian experience
is well demonstrated to us by the
transiguration Of Jesus. AS the
shadow Of the cross loomed up be-
fore Him through the opposition
from the Parisees, He was lead to
ascend the slopes of Mt. Hermon
where, apart from the world, He
might enter into an undisturbed
communion with God.
Here in the, quiet of the noun
tain side He talked with His Faith
er, and "as He was praying, the
fashion of His countenance was al
tered, and His raiment became
white and dazzling"
Thus is the spiritual able to
transform the material things of
life.
Our lives are generally dull and
sober until there comes to us in
some neutrality-suspicious. glor-
ious Transformation. 1t is in the
light of such an experience that
one is enabled to see in ones adj
versity the purposeful will of God.
Do. not let adversely keep you
from the mountain of prayer.
There is a glory awaiting you
there!

Miss Hazel Weast, of Missoula,

miles monthly to deliver a morning

impressive mileage on the job
nearly 10000 miles. Driving her

fog and spot lights, she leaves her
newspaper Office every morning at
2:30 and makes her trip through
the valley to Darby, Mont, return

ond breakfast. Her daily trip runs
$50 miles, a great deal of which
is on side roads, and in her year
on the job, never has she failed of
railroad-like precision and regular
ity. Besides delivering several
thousand copies daily to agents in
the section, Miss Weast makes
many additional stops daily to put
copies Of the paper in individual
boxes for suburban and rural SUBJ
scribers. 81 like the work and I've
