she had done with it.
Liselotte was fearful and I
sensed that it was not the realiza-

brought that hectic flush to her
cheeks and. that droop to her
mouth. 1t was young Claude who
enlightened me:

Sound and Fury
(NeW York Timesl

tNeW YOrK t1lmeS)
 There all sorts of theories as to the fascina- tion of prizefights and no doubt most of them are correct The most intriguing of them is the notion that most of would like to hit somebody and don't dare. This suppressed impulse is bad for us though not so bad giving way to it would ordinarily be- When go to prizefight identify ourselves with of the fighters. Then we identify the other fighter with the policeman who gave ticket the man who showed aside in the subway our en- poyer, our venerable parent, who once spanked us unjusty, perhaps with the New Deal Wall Street the church sociable forty years ago with our best girl. We also make bets. Nothing makes vehement partisan demands little psycholog- cal analysis as the act of laying bet Maybe the simplest explanation is often the is the best one It may be immoral to win bets but it is agree able
 Setting all these considerations aside prizefight, or indeed almost any kind of athletic contest has supreme advantage Tn world and at time when almost all the news get is frought with signifi- canoe, the prizefight doesn't anything. It doesn't mean that the Naz philosophy is good bad, that the Negro is is not rising in the mic scale, or anything else. It has to do with such elements muscular strength courage, indifference which may be combined in any member of any race at any time. The heavyweight championship of the world is a fiction. Prizefghting is business. The mllion-dolar crowd in the loses itself for little while in enjoyable fury and suspense But to- morrow will be exactly what it would otherwise have been. Nothing has really happened.

Horoscope ''The stars incline
 but do not compep
SATURDAY, JULY 16, 1888


 According to astrology this may be rather a muddled day. Mingled aspects presaging good and i'll are discerned in the horoscope for this date.
 It is a promising rule of the stars for advertising and forecasts much activity among wholesale merchants and manufacturers of heavy goods.
 Girls may discover that their plans for weekend amusement are blocked or changed, but friendly as- sociation devoid of romance is in- dicated for new acquaintances among men.
 Workers continue under a dis turbing planetary direction which may prevent lasting benefits through compromises and readjuStmentS. Increased demands for labor are forecast.
 Again the seers warn of subver- sive activities affecting the United States government. Many secret or ganizations may be hostile.
 Unusual weather conditions may be expected this month. Extreme heat will cause suffering in many American cities. Illnesses may de- velop into an epidemic next month.
 Food will become a major inter est and diet lists should be studied carefully. Home cooking is strongly recommended by astrologers.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of extraordin- ary luck in financial matters, al- though there may be losses.
 Children born on this day are under the influence of Cancer and may be restless, fond of luxury and able to make the most of opportuni- ties.
 Rebecca Pomeroy, noted Civil War nurse, was born on this day 1917. Others who have celebrated it as birthday include Sir Joshua Reynolds, portrait painter, 1723; Charles Tufts, philanthropist, 1871.

THE FLY IN THE FISHING OINTMENT

First sizeable reports from the Westward districts on the 1888 salmon pack indicate that while some of the areas are definitely down the big red salmon run m Bristol Bay will bring the average up to year ago Il not better Bristol Bay already is running ahead of last year in volume of pack and if the salmon keep coming until the season closes July 25 it is probable the red pack will exceed last season considerably.
 Copper River is finished for the season. and the total pack is approximately 4,ooo eases under year ago Other Westward districts down in comparl- son. but the outlook on the whole in those areas is not unfavorable.
 wcrst fly in the 1888 fishing season ointment at the present time is the trouble at Ketchkan between the CIO fishermen and the packers over price. Ket- chikan's eleven canneres are closed while effort is being made to reach an agreement The ketchlkah district usually puts up the largest pack o the Souh east area and should the dispute there drag out 1t probably will mean very definite curailment in the s Southeast pack this However, the season doesn't end there until around the first of September so that if an early settlement is reached the pack may yet touch normal in this area.
 
 The unfortunate fact is again revealed at Ketchi- kan of Outside dominance. The chances are that Il the packers there and the Alaska fishermen who supply them with fish to consider their problem without Outside molestation the controversy would be adjusted quicker than oneGcan brai fish trap But with the Ketchikan fishermen unable to make without getting okey from their union leaders in Seattle, the result of course is delay and argument.
 Regardless of the merits of the actual controversy probably both sides have some sound argument in their favor we are not prepared to say-there is growing indication that the fishermen of Alaska, not only in Ketchkan but in every other district and it might be extended to union workers in every other industry, going to have to demand and get eeway from their Outside union affiliateS in making agreements, state of constant disruption will exist Alaska fishermen well as Alaska work men in other industry know the problems in the north. The union leader in Seattle or San Francisco wherever he happens to be, usually doesn't The result is what at Ketchikan. It strikes us that the Alaska union workmen take stand this point the sooner they can handle their own affairs to their mutual benefit.

 Withdrawal of Japanese fishing vessels from Bris- ol Bay reported by the coast guard reflects credit alike upon the United States state department and the joint committee for the protection of Pacific Coast fisheries
 As Miller Freeman, chairman of this committee has previously pointed out, complete victory can be assured only when the Japanese government agrees to withdraw its nationals, not only during the present salmon fishing season, but permanently.
 Applauding the activities of the coast guard and the state department MT. Freeman says for the com mittee which jointly represents the general public cannery operators and fishermen:
 We do not know when, or if the Japanese may return. In any case the department of state will be fully informed of their activities the joint com mittee will continue to maintain its unofficial vigil lance until some permanent satisfactory solution found"
 Constant and consistent pressure backed by an informed public opinion has accomplished results be- fore It must be maintained in this instance as the committee suggests, with no letdown.
