To Inform You.-Read the labels
on canned foods. Many tell the
number of slices contained in the
can. Others give additional use
full information about the contents.
Cleaning Suede.-Clean soiled
suede shoes and belts with saw
dust slightly warmed in the oven.
Rub it over the surface with
clean, soft rag, and to raise the
pile rub gently afterwards with
piece of fine emery paper.
Washing Knitted GOOds.-When
laundering sweaters or knitted
suits be careful not to stretch
them while wet or they viii be
too large when dried. Before
washing, lay the garment on some
ight-colored paper and trace
about it with pencil. When it
has been rinsed fit the garment
into the tracing and lay paper and
garment on a Turkish towel to
dry. Drying may require two
days, but the fitting will be cor
rect.
Keep Oils COOl.-Store oils, such
as olive or vegetable, in the re-
frigerator. They are likely to be-
come rancid when opened unless
they are kept chilled.
Use for Leftovers.-Leftover
rice or macaroni mixed with
cooked meat makes a good filing
for green peppers or tomatoes.
The latter need to be cooked only
20 minutes In moderate oven.
Position of TreIIises.-Trellises
should be a foot to Is inches away
from a wall. This gives air
chance to circulate and gives you
a chance to spray the back of the
vine.
Stains on Ash Trays.-To re-
move cigarette stains from brass
ash trays, rub the trays with
paste of salt and vinegar. Then
wash them well in hot water and
soap suds.
Quick Baking. and berry
pies with lattice-style tops require
less baking time than the regular
two-crust pies.

Flying Is Risky Business,
As VierUed by Pedestrian

A pedestrian crossed traffic
filed street while looking up at an
airplane overhead. Three buses
shaved him so closely that his
beard didn't appear again for a
week, the wind from six passing
cars raised the nap on his last
years suit, one fve-passenger car
removed the shine from the back
of his left shoe, and the drivers of
seven other assorted makes, while
stripping their gears in an effort
to avoid him, stripped their vocab-
ularies of high-powered adjectives.
After stumbling over the curb
stone on the farther side of the
road, the pedestrian was heard to
murmur, my gracious, those air.

The Modern Sisyphus

MOST of US have read about
A'A Sisyphus who was con-
denned to roll a heavy boulder
up a hill. He never reached he
top for every time he neared it
the stone rolled back and he had
to start all over again.
Isn't it that way with shaving?
Wars may rage, kingdoms fall,
stocks crash or soar, business go
haywire or reach dizzy heights of
profts-but man must go on every
morning before breakfast scrap
ing away at his chin, doing good
job, too, with the disheartening
knowledge that he will have to do
exactly the same thing tomorrow.
He never has the thrill of a job
reaching fnality. He never has
the satisfaction of writing fms.
Short of becoming hermits or ex-
plorers, all we can do is to sneak
away occasionally on an alleged
fishing trip and there cache our
razors until civilization claims US
again.-Voice Writing.

Buying Hint.-Where pennies
must be counted it is wise to make
purchases that will mean less ex-
pense to take care of them. Plain
bedding, such as spreads, pillow

buy, as the frilled and fancy bed

Arabs were slain and five wounded,
authorities said, by unidentified Jews
in six incidents today in the neigh
borhood of the Jewish city Tel Aviv
An official list said two Arabs were
killed and two injured near Rishon

Tri-Power Warninq
To Reich on Danziq
Urged in France
British-French-PoIish
Step Is Sought to
Emphasize Stond
BY the Associated Press.

PARIS, June 29.-A suggestion
for combined Pc
lish warning to Germany that the
seizure of Danzig would mean war
was printed widely today in French
newspapers.
1t was emphasized that, although
the three countries already have
said as much, such a warning was
necessary because Nazi. leaders have
given the impression they did not
believe in French and British sim
cerity on the Danzig issue.
Churchill Speech Cited.
One apparent basis for the sug-
gestion was passage in Winston
Churchill's speech yesterday in
which he said:
Lord Halifax British foreign
secretary has told us that force
will be met with force. Not one
single voice has been raised in
Great Britain to complain or to
contradict him. I think it is in
dispensable that it should be pub
lished to the world that an attack
on Poland at the present time would
be decisive and irrevocable event"
Some Frenchmen coupled this
with the sober tone of Premier Ed
Guard Daladier's statement Tuesday
that the gravest international crisis
lin 20 years" faced France.
Since Daladier sees (Chancellor)
Hitler's game and British Prime
Minister) Chamberlain does not yet
see it," wrote Emile Bure. polit-
ical director of the influential news
paper L'Ordre, why does not Da-
ladier explain it to Chamberlain
before it is too late? The sooner

have such exceptionally great signif-
lcance for our national economy.
That is why the free city of Danzig
is now bound to use by so many ties
as we'll as it was in past centuries.
To-day on the feast of St. Peter
and st. Paul, the patron saints of
fishermen, we pass in our minds
along the banks of the Vistula, the
queen Of Polish rivers, to Danzig
and to Gdynia.
although every acre of Polish
soil is equally dear and close to us,
and IN equal measure helps to make
up the great entity of our native
land, Pomorze and the seacoast are
the basic elements of our economic
and political independence.
They are invaluable-the air and
sun of our existence as a state.
THE consciousness of this value
exists today in the heart and mind
OF every Pole. The greater the ad-
versities encountered, the more hos
tile the external circumstances, the
flrmer our determination"
Moscicki voiced Poland's determi-
nation to continue her peaceful
work for our own good and that
of other peoples with whom we wish
to develop our economic and intel
lectual relations"
He went on: But we are living in
times when the world has reverted to
race for armaments, when espe-
cially over the seas loom dangers of
conflict 1t is our desire to main
tain and consolidate peace on the
Baltic, but this also imposes on us
the duty of enhancing the naval
power of Poland"
Navy Fund Aid Urged.
In conclusion, the President ap-
pealed for participation in the ma
tional naval defense fund collection
and declared:
Already strong on land and in
the air, we want to become strong
on sea in order to assure the con-
tinued development of our maritime
life and completely fulfill the voca-
ton of the Polish nation on the
sea-"

ALAsKA'S CANNED SALMON
FACES KEEN COMPETITION

The intensive competition for The
consumers attention faced by Al
aska's canned salmon from sea food
items produced in other areas was
pointed out recently by A. ". Brin-
die, president of Wards Cove Pack
ing Company.
when the American housewife
goes into her grocery store to
buy foods for her family dinner, she
has a far wider choice today than
she had years ago. The grocery in
dustry is now celebrating its Par
ade of Progress" to dramatic the
change that has come over the gro
Gerry business. and one of the major
themes is this wide variety of foods
that is now offered the consumer
while this wide variety is boon
to the housewife, it really means
new competition for the older es-
tablfshed foods, such as canned sal
mon. Canned fish from other re-
gions have come into prominence
Many other protein foods such as
macaroni, and canned meats have
come into prominence, Brindle
said.
"As one example of the compe-
tition which has grown up, consider
the canned fish industry in Calf
ornia. In 1912, California canned
$4,000 cases of tuna and 1874
cases of sardines, a total of 93,774
cases. In that year mackerel had
not yet been put into cans. Now look
at what the same region did last
year. The California tuna pack was
2,537,977 cases. The sardine pack
2,427,249 cases. And mackerel
amounted to 945,5s3 cases. A total
in California alone of 5,910,S19
cases.
IN addition to this California
pack, a large amount of tuna came
in from Japan and Hawaii. All in all
canned salmon went into a domestic
market shared by more than six
million cases of other canned fish
last year"
Brindle pointed out that the price
competition from these fish items
was particularly severe. California
sardines, packed in 8 one pound
tails are selling at s2.65 per case,
and mackerel at $3.50 per case
such low prices create very
severe competition for Alaska Pinks
and Chums which in the main are
eaten by the same class of consum-
ers as now use sardines and mack
erel," he said. TUNA fish in many
homes has supplanted to some extent
the previous demand for such items
as red salmon, cohoes, and chinooks

erially increased the competition
faced by canned salmon, and which
makes it difficult to obtain good re-
tail prices for our product is the
increased availability of fresh fish
in many of the large cities of the
country. Twenty years ago, canned
salmon suffered very little from
competition of fresh fish. Poor re-
frigeration and slow transportation
kept fresh fish consumption close
to the seacoast. Today that has all
changed.
with modern refrigeration, fast
rail transportation and speedy fish
ing vessels, fresh fish distribution
has spread far inland. In netropol-
itan markets in the eastern part of
the United States, it is common to
see fresh fish retailing at five cents
per pound.
This increase in competition
found on all sides has made the
task of marketing Alaska's salmon
at reasonable prices an extremely
difficult problem Brindle conclud-
ed.
