no special session.

Broad powers are given to the

funds carried in the recovery bill.
Soon the billions of dollars ap-
propriated by the Congress will
begin to flow into commerce,
backed by Administration hope
they will prime the industrial
pump.

are being used to influence votes

waiting for the others, those VINO
were present sat around and talked.
Purposely Sally led the conversation,
touching on wide variety of subjects.
Each time anything was mentioned,
Jane swung forth. Twice she delib-
erately disagreed with Paul about mat
ters on which you could tell he felt
he was an authority.
When the other guests arrived, Sally
called for suggestions for games. Jane
was the only one to respond.
X X X
THUS the evening wore on and
Sally, watching Paul. decided by
1890 that the psychological moment
had arrived She signaled to Stan
and asked Paul to follow her into the
kitchen. The moment the door was
closed behind him, he began:
Did you get a load of that? My
gosh, disagreeing with me on point
about which I know everything And
wasn't that typical the games she
suggested? Ha! She was good at
them all, that's why she suggested
them"
you're right. Paul You're hun
dred per cent right. Now come with
me-" She took him by the arm and
led him out the back door and along
the veranda. pausing beside an open
bed room window: Bewildered, an
noyed at this strange procedure, Paul
was about to protest, but just then he
heard voices coming from behind the
open window He listened. 1t was
the voice of Jane Macy.
iii scream if I have to stay in the
same house with that man another
minute. He thinks he knows every
thing! Disagreeing with me, indeed!
And that silly game he suggested. You
might think he was 2-year-old. Why,
If hadn't come forward with my idea,
the party would have been flop And
hate those games too Oh. I know
what you're going to say, Stan, but
won't be one bit nicer to him than
he is to me. Poor Sally"
Paul and Sally went back to the
kitchen. They looked at each other
Paul grinned. my gosh! Am I as bad
as that? mean. do I really annoy
her too? Say, never thought guess
I'd better 60 in and have a talk with
Jane. Maybe if we could get together We
might understand each other better"
He headed for the door. Sally took
a deep sigh of relief and followed. She
wasn't afraid of what might happen
now. After all, one was her friend
and the other her husband, and they
were both pretty bright.

flesh so delicately favored and white.
OF course, with this turn of mind,
the halibut were sought so eagerly
that by 1850 they had become very
few in number and we're bringing top
notch prices.
Progress came to the rescue in the
completion of the great Northern
Pacific Railway. and the Pacific hall
but, whose vast numbers had not
been touched, now became the con-
centrated thought of fishing and ship
ping industries. This is the reason
that most of the halibut We have to-
day are from the icy waters of the
North Pacific.
Halibut is our largest lat-fish. 1t
has the strange habit of always re-
clining on its left side which is an
exquisite white, while both eyes and all
coloration are on the right side.
The adult male will weigh about 80
pounds. The females tip the scales
at 300 to 400 pounds It takes II
years for a halibut to grow up and it
may live to be 40 years old!
Halibut are travellers of the sea
bottom, and love to rove about sonae
1000 feet or even more from the sur
face. Here are its hunting grounds
and they feast upon clans, mussels,
dAt fish and crabs. Most Of the time
the halibut lies fiat upon the ocean
door, waiting for its dinner to come
ambling along. It attracts little at
tention because Of its coloring and
has the ability to lie perfectly still.
The younger generation are very
Interesting. At first they do not
resemble their parents at all. They
swim in an upright position and have
their eyes where all self-respecting
fish have them, one on either side of
the head. But there comes day
when the head begins to twist side
wise and the left eye really moves
over to the right side. The young
sters dwell in what seem to be recog-
nized as nursery areas" After they
grow older they have wanderlust and
travel for many miles away from the
scene Of their birth and childhood.

coast OF the States of Washington and
Oregon to the Gulf Of Alaska. The
boats fish out beyond the three-mile
limit. From the International Fish
cries Commission we have the figures
made up in 1914 which showed the
total catch of 67,425 900 pounds Over
fishing showed that in 1922, this
amount had decreased to 42,144, 900
pounds. BY 1885 the figures were
better. because vital regulations con-
nected with American and Canadian
fishermen had been worked out in a
most harmonious way and the story
of 1885 shows catch of 48, ,469, 900
pounds, with a value of 1886, 900
to the industry.
Regulated fishing, use of specific
equipment and obedience to we'll
defined laws gained for all parties
concerned a wider profit and estab-
lished ways of handling the Pacific
halibut.

EAR MISS DIX: Funny thin

~ EAR MISS DIX: Funny thing
about all this fuss over what
love is and holding husbands.
- All of us men know how SIM
pie it is, but women have been having
headaches over it for centuries because
they have been trying to make mys-
terry out of very natural relationship
and turn q mere man into god. That
is where the trouble starts. The
women are just drunk with the false
belief that love will end all of their
troubles forever, and that when they
possess it, life will be a never-ending
petting party. A girl with this de-
luded idea gets married. All too soon
the honeymoon ends. Familiarity be-
gins its processof numbing some of the
great thrills Her Prince Charming
runs true to type and turns out to be
just common everyday man. Then
comes the great disillusionment for
the girl, which is the penalty of wor-
Shipping false god. The young bride
falls hard because she has climbed to
high perch. The romance sours, and
she sets out to avenge her wrong at
the expense of her innocent husband
With nagging and slouchiness drives
him away from her Next she is tell
ing the court of her husbands unfaith-
fulness and hijacking him for every
cent of alimony she can get. As for
holding husbands, the method is too
simple to be interesting. All woman
has to do to keep her husband is to
use the same Wiles she used in catching
him. Isn't it So men?

AnsWer-It is so, brother. You've
put wives on the spot, and to be per-
fectly fair you should stand their hus-
bands up beside them, for the great
trouble with matrimony is that both
men and women go into it on false
basis, and then they refuse to go on
with their act.

around him the cloak of her imagina-
ton and sees him not as he is but as
she wants him to be, romantic hero.
She expects him to keep up after mar
riage the high-pressure loving of his
courting days.
1T is likewise true that 90 per cent
of the disappointments in marriage
that women talk so much about
and that sends them to the divorce
court. is nothing but the man COM

saying it with beefsteaks instead of
violets and expecting her to have
enough sense to take his affection
for granted.
Also it is true that virtually every
wife could hold her husband If she
would continue to cut bait after
marriage and try as hard to please
her husband as she did her sweet
heart, and If she would doll herself
up after marriage as she did before.

She drives me nuts. No matter
what subject is mentioned. Jane knows
all there is to know about it, No

good time, Jane always sulks and won

"TANE is well read" Sally said

see, she only makes suggestions when
other people, who lack imagination,
have nothing to offer" She looked at
Paul thoughtfully. Nov that you

"I'll be nice. I'll be just as nice as

But it couldn't 60 on. Sooner or later
he was going to fly off the handle and
tell Jane exactly what he thought.
Sally didn't want this to happen.
She liked Jane. She had always hoped
that the four of them could be good
friends always. She decided that the
smart thing to do was talk the matter
over with Stan.
Stan wasn't surprised at Sally's
story. He had noticed the tension
