the weighty stuff, MT. Stimson thoughtfully throws in an item for the feature writers about the es- tablishment of an Army dog team in Alaska.
 Everybody wears badge of Identification, except the Secre- tary of War, A lady reporter asks him if he has one, and he Hips back his coat and shows it, pinned to a vest pocket. But instead of a regulation badge, he wears one marked Temporary Duty"
 In the midst of the laughter, someone tries to make a case that he is about to resign. Flushing the only man who has been twice Secretary of War and once Secre- tary of State, shakes his head and the conference breaks up.

 National Issues: As government expenses soar. careful investigation of pension rolls will be advocated while the demand for economies in the administration of public business will become more persis- tent. Among the sacrifices for war aid there will be a suggestion that the high salaries of certain offici- als of cities, counties and states be reduced. Financial matters will be subect to greater discussion next month than previously.
 International Affairs: The next conjunction of Saturn and Mars, in February, 1922, is most threat ening for Russia, but meanwhile Stalin will play peculiar game in his relation to the Axis Powers. 4iiCAC nay OC o ouuuCii ClidAiSC O1 policy helpful to Britain, but it will not be wise to depend upon friendly gestures.

 At first Jesse Jones favored a Hollander named Van den Brocke to set up the smelter, though his proposition was branded ""exo.bi- tant by the State Department.

at league meeting held in Seat

tain league membership after the

Bremerton will only play
two league football games

nle at least five games In

games this fall. with Stadium,
Everett and Bellingham sched-
uling six league opponents and
Lincoln of Tacoma doing a
round-robin with seven games.
No definite action was taken re-
garding a round-robin in basket
ball pending the possibility that
the state board might set up the
Cross State league as a district Of
its own with four or five entries
in the state tourney.
Representing Tacoma schools al
the meeting were Principal How

Burt Beal of Lincoln. Athletic Di-
rector Bill Hardie of Lincoln and

I'm Ohe Rasket
With Elliott Metcolf

DETER get out the old rod
ID and tackle box and 20 over
your equipment.
Nothing like being ready for
the trout season.
The 1871 opening day is not
far off.
April 9Th is the day :. a
Sunday.
But the season pertains only to
lakes.
DO not fish the streams unless,
Of course. you work the year
around waters like Nisqually
river up as far as LaGrande.
The general season on streams
is May 4
June. however, would have
been better.
From June through November.
which is sufficiently long
That would give US six months
in which TO attack the stream
trout And it would give the
trout six months of rest.
We cannot expect 10 be glut-
tons and have good fishing.
Wonder what the 1871 season
will bring?
win II he good or bad:
The state game department
has liberated trout by the great
thousands.
And l mean six inch and bet
ter fish.
IL the trout run To the sea
after paintings in streams. that's
Nature at work.
No one can be responsible.
But your state game depart
ment has been working intelli-
gently and faithfully to keep the
streams stocked.
THE OLD. OLD STORY
Fishermen, like hunters, are
hard to satisfy.
II an angler has a successful
trip, the department is doing
fine work.
If an angler comes home with
an empty creel. the department
is a failure and something
ought 10 be done about IT."
That is human nature.
However. you can rest assured
the department is doing a genu-
inc job
l would suggest that You take
the family out TO the Chambers
creek hatchery. for instance,
and have n iooksee.
Boss Charlie Foster and his
crew will make YOU welcome.
They actually enjoy having
you come out.
Washington stream fishing
would be greatly benefited If
the state abolished the use of
salmon eggs
Montana, Idaho and British
Columbia have done that And
that is where one gets fish.
Single eggs are destroyer OF
small fish
Millions undersize annually are
killed, thrown away. The little
ones. potential large and legal
sized fish, are able TO swallow
the single egg and the tiny
hook.
Many will come roaring 10 their
feet at such a suggestion. but
the truth OF the statement can
not be denied.
AT THE SOURCE
ANY more than can the state
ment that winter steelhead fish
ing destroys millions Of potential
rainbow trout every year.
