There is no way for any obser-
yer to accurately gauge the pop
ular feeling in regard to the Presi-
dent today as contrasted with
November OF last year. The
newspapers have long ceased to
accurately reflect the real political
conditions in the country. Most
of the columnists who write on
political affairs at the capital are
patiently protagonists for thsir pc
culiar viewpoints Most of them
make little effort to present any
thing more than a series of argu-
ments for or against the Presi-
dent's program and much Of their
writing is eentered around their
own interpretations Of motives.
intentions and conditions. Obvi-
ously, It is impossible TO wade
through such a welter of confu-
sion and ascertain what the ac-
tual majority Of the American

The plan to lease six average
destroyers to Brazil has been
practically abanadond for the
present in the face of consider
able criticism, particularly on the
part of the Government of Argen-
tina, which appears particularly
aroused by Che coincidence" that
the number of destroyers happens
to equal the similar ships now
being built for the latter govern
ment in Europe. Moreover, the
Argentine critics insist that six
destroyers would not amount to
much as a defense against en-
croachment from abroad and that
the Inauguration of such a ship
loan policy by the United Statea
would be exactly opposite to the

Japan, the embargo would obvi-
ously be in the interest of Japan
because the Japs would have the
merchant ships to transport sup

ships to blockade sthe ports of

be noted, is more apparent than
real because, under actual war
conditions, it is doubtful if war
supplies could be landed in China.

Indians Drugged
Fish to Produce
State of Coma
By Uncle Ray.

WHEREVER old-time Indians could
w obtain fish from rivers or lakes.
they did so, and they also took them
from the ocean.
Sometimes they used hooks. made
from bone or shell and baited with
minnows. They also had traps for
fish and sometimes they employed
nets Of one kind or another.
Perhaps the strangest Indian
method Of catching fish was by
"drugging" them. Certain kinds Of
bark were dropped into the water and
were eaten by the fish. The bark did
not kill the fish outright. but put
them in "a state Of coma" and made
them rise helpless to the surface,
where they were gathered up. In some
parts of California the Indians used
soaproot for this purpose. The Iro-
quois, Cherokee and few other tribes
also drugged fish.
The most important fishing, how
ever. took place along the Pacific
Coast, from the Puget Sound region
to Alaska. In that area many OF
the Indians obtained most Of their
food by catching salmon. A traveller
who visited the region almost CEN
tury and q half ago has left us an
account of early salmon fishing:
"All the Indians of the village help
in making q dam across the river.
Openings are left in the dam and
baskets or nets Of wickerwork are
stretched across the openings. The
baskets are from Is to 18 feet long
and about feet high. The end at
which the salmon enter is made with
twigs. and Is shaped like the entrance
to wire mouse trap.
when four or five hundred salmon
have entered the basket the Indians
take it ashore to empty out the fish,
or they take them out at a door in
the top and transport them to the
shore in their large wooden canoes
When the salmon are thrown on the
beach the women clean them and
hang them by their tails from poles,
in the open air.
I'm a day or two the fish are taken
down and cut into strips. The pieces
are hung up again for about a month.
after which they are put in storehouses
and kept a long time"
The Indians Of the Northwest Coast
are noted for their fine dugout Ca
noes. With these they make long
trips from the mainland to islands
in the ocean. or from one island to
another. Seals, sea lions and sea Of
tiers are among the animals they cap
ture on their ocean trips.
Some Of the dugout canoes are of
great size. with a length Of so to 70
feet. They are composed chiefly Of
a single. hollowed-out log. but a spe-
cial prov with q carved figure is often
added.

while your thumb and forefnger

case of the bottled liquid, in goes

ten does not get any food for IL hours
before being "worned." I generally
do it in the morning before the cats
get any breakfast. Generally they
don't want to eat anything for several
hours after the vermifuge has been
given them.

about two weeks. Follow the direc-
tions that come with the medicine.
And once your pet is free from these
Iife-sucking parasites, it will grow

Adventures Come
To Pups Touring
On Auto Trailer
ByHOrace Mitchell.

IF ROLAND WILLIAM ROBERTS Of
Chicago sees this story he may re-
member the time he and his folks
parked their cabin trailer under the
pines in old Fort McClary Park last
Summer.
When called at the trailer door, 7
met some mighty interesting people
and two dogs. One was Jill, white
and cream toy collie, and the other
was Jack. Jack was black, and Jill
was his mother.
Jack had been born with several
brothers and sisters while the Roberts
portable home was on the way from
Illinois to Florida last Winter. Jill
took very good care of them and they
didn't seem to mind bit the rolling
and jolting of rough roads. The pups
did well.
Travelling over the country with a
mother dog and her puppies would
appear to be too big a job for most
people. but Mrs. Roberts says they
were not at all troublesome. And the
pups were in big demand. Other

in them, and wanted to buy them.
However, only one was sold. The rest
were given away in return for favors
done the Roberts party by others
along the way. Jack was kept as an
eventual present to a friend back
home in Chicago.
When the trailer was camped In
Georgia last Spring. they felt the tag
ends of the tornado that killed so many
persons and destroyed so much prop
erty. Young Bill Roberts tells how the
wind blew so hard that the dogs,
which had gone out of doors. were
unable to move against it. Bill was
barely able to stand up, but he
surged ahead as hard as he could,
and, with his fathers help the dogs
were rescued and brought inside the
cabin.
Jill and Jack have been automati.
cally trained not to wander from their
moving home. This is a good thing,
for no matter how good nose a dog
had, how could he trail a trailer on a
concrete road? I'll bet he couldn't!

 "The relationship of two of the important industries in the coastal regions of Alaska does not end with the sale of products one to the other, however" Schlothan pointed out. The active season in the logging camps and lumber mills falls during the off season in the fishing industry, and hundreds of Alaskans, who work in the salmon canning industry during the fishing season, find employment in the timber industry during a large part of the rest of the year
