Salmon in 1886
Largest, History

The world pack of canned salmon
in 1896 amounted to 13,720000 STAN
dard cases of 40 1-pound cans, eX-
ceeding the previous record pack
made in 1884 by nearly 100000
cases. However, the 1886 data in
cludes $4,000 cases packed by So
Wet interests in Siberia, of which
data had not been obtained in re-
cent previous years. The 1896 pack
was allocated among the several
producing areas as follows: Alaska,

$4,000 cases; British Columbia
1881 900 cases; Siberia, 1869 900

Manager Charlie Grimm did not
count very heavily on Charlie Roo
when he planned the Chicago
Cubs pennant bid this spring. The
veteran highlander had celebrat-
ed his 38th birthday He had beer
tossing 'em up to the Bruins OPP
ponents since 1926.
But Grimm suddenly discovered
half his hurting staff on the hos
pital list. Larry French broke a
finger. Curt Davis tore ligament
in his pitching arm. Tex Carleton
Clipped a bone in his elbow.
To make matters worse, Bill Lee
was slow in rounding into form
Tarzan Parmalee, acquired in the
trade which sent Lou Warneke to
st. Louis last winter, failed to come
up to expectations.
What Grimm would have done
without Root is a question With
the season one-fifth over Roots
name had appeared in the lineup
one-third of the time. He was the
leading Cub pitcher in addition to
having worked the greatest num-
Der of games.
1t is strange, indeed, that Root
should have been of SO much help
For years the experts have been
counting him out.
When Root took part in as games
in 1927, winning 26 and losing IS
it was freely asserted he had ruined
his pitching arm. When he failed
to show his former effectiveness
the following year, winning only IA
games, the experts were ready with
their Il told you so's."
The experts have had to eat
those words many times since.
Root has teamed with Gabby
Hartnett to form the Cubs bat
terry for a dozen seasons. There
isn't another pair in the majors
with record like that.
One of Roots greatest disap-
pointments is that he has been I'M
able to win a World Series game
He has had his chances, but has
always been thwarted.

senger to Seward, was in port here
From Seward, Mr.. T'elkamp is to
make the Golden Belt Tour to the
Interior, visiting Palmer, then go
ing to Fairbanks by rail and re-
turning to the Coast over the
Richardson Highway.
Mr.. Telkamp is making his first
visit to the Pacific Northwest and
to Alaska, and finding the Terri
tory so much to his liking that he
wished he had more time to spend
than the two weeks he has allowed
himself
He has his cameras with him,
and expects to return south with
great number of pictures of
Alaska, including shots of game
and Matanuska. He stated that it
is most likely that one of the fea-
ture writer's on the Golfers staff,
w. B. Courtney, will visit Alaska
this summer. MIR. Courtney had
long planned to visit Alaska this
year." he said, land would have
been here by now except for the
situation in Spain. He has been
marking time in the East to see
if it will be necessary for him to
go to Spain, but said, just before
I left on my trip, that he thought
Spain would keep and that he
could see Alaska first"
In company with John Kabel,

is also enroute to Seward aboard
the Baranof, Mr.. Telkamp journey
ed to Mendanhell Glacier this
morning, but returned without pic
lures because of the weather, but

Mr. Kabel has visited Alaska six
or seven times in the past nine
years, last coming north two years
ago. He plans to photograph orig
inal scenes in the Seward district,
remaining there about week,
then returning to the States. Il

School Reform
Follows Boxing
Of Boys Ears

VIENNA, June 19.--Lite mas become
easier for thousands of Austrian
school children because 14-year-old
Friedl Klein had his ears boxed.
The boy took the matter to court
and, because his eardrum had been
broken, won suit for SIT against
the instructor.
The case brought to a head years
of agitation for reforms in the Aus
TRAN secondary schools, whose dis
cipline and standards have been
the pride and despair of parents
and pupils.
With fine disregard for half
measures, the Ministry of Education
decreed these reforms:
Teachers may not punish pupils
by giving them written tasks, such
as copying Il have been a bad boy"
100 times.
There must be no home work in
chemistry, religion, nature study,
introduction to philosophy, drawing
singing or gymnastics.
1t is forbidden a teacher to die
tate assignments.
Examinations must primarily be
oral; quick, short tests in limited
time periods are to be avoided;
written examinations can be given
only once semester-and then only
If there are many pupils in the class
and with the principals consent.
Teachers must teach only what
is culturally and economically use
full in the child.

TOWN CHARTER
REPEAL ASKED

ROCKVILLE, Nd, March 8.
A legislative measure designed to
repeal the town charter of Clarks-
burg, Md, which has not func-
toned for more than so years,
has been introduced into the
Maryland General Assembly by
the Montgomery county delega-
tion, it was learned here today.
Other new bills introduced in
clude one which would alter the
method Of redeeming properties
sold for taxes in Montgomery
county and one to empower
judges of the orphans court to
fix appraiser fees.
The former measure provides
that redemption payments be
made to the county treasurer in
stead Of to the circuit court clerk.
The treasurer in turn would notify
the court clerk Of payment of
taxes due and the clerk could
then post the redemption on his
land records.
Under the present method pay.
ment is merely made to the clerk
and no provision is made for re-
cording the payment, thus imped-
ing the tracing titles Of land.

chairs at Twelfth Street and Con-
stitution Avenue and headed up
Twelfth Street to deliver the
equipment at a building on U
Street near Thirteenth, to be oc-
cupied by a new unit of the So
cial Security Board.
In the vicinity of F Street, the
pine tables, carefully wrapped in
paper, mysteriously caught fire.
Motorists and pedestrians shouted
to the driver, George A. Chase,
colored, but the cries were
drowned out in the roar of traffic.
At New York Avenue, Chase
stopped for a red light and heard
the shouts of onlookers. He
climbed out and began unloading
the burning tables. Half dozen
pieces of fire apparatus arrived
promptly and the blaze was ex-
tinguished.
Firemen said they believed a
lighted cigarette, possibly tossed
from the cab Of the truck, had
started the fire. The II tables,
all badly burned, were valued at
SIT each. The seven metal chairs,
unharmed except by water, can
still be sat upon by employees of the
Social Security Board, it was said.
