“The House That Quality Built”
MODE DRUNKS IN 1927
Altho there were fewer drunks
in San Francisco than the year of
the adoption of the Eighteenth
amendment, there were more per
sons taken into custody on intoxica
tion charges in that city during the
past ten months than in 1910, a re
ar'd of the police department show

NOR \VEG 1AN WI1ALERS
- ESTAB LTSH RE( OR I)
A record in the history of Nor
wegian whaling has been made in
•lie 1927-2S whaling season just
closed in Norway. With but one
exception all fields exceeded all ex
pectations, the total yield amount
ing to about 745,000 barrels.
Several expeditions sent off one
month earlier than usual began op
erations in the pack ice the past
season, with the result that they al
rea ly had produced large yields be
fore others reached the fields. The
reports received were promising
from the start and continued so with
few exceptions, throughout the en
tile season.
land expeditions reached 279,65b
barrels compared with 181,892 bar
rels in the 1926-1927 seasan wife
The season at South Georgia wras
very satisfactory in the beginning,
but the turning point came in Jan
uary 30, 192S, the production of
tie three Norwegian companies on
orating at South Georgia wras 126.
000 barrels compared with 125,200
the previous season.
At South Orkney, where A-S Tons
herg Hvalfanjgeri operated with one
cookery and three whaling boats, the
catch was started at the end of Octo
ber. View in its entirety, the season
/as declared very satisfactory, and
was closed on April 7 wtli a yield
of 44,700 barrels as compared with
12,000 barrels in the preceding
season.
Value of the year’s catch is esti
mated at between 60 aml 62,000,000
kroner. It is possible that the lattei
figure will be reached, inasmuch as
the quality of the oil has been re
ported greatly improved this year,
said due to the fact that it is pro
g^iniuniu i:ni
duced immediately after the whales
are caught.
The Norwegian whaling compan
ies, which include three short sta
tions, 15 cookeries, one secondary
cookery, three transport vessels em
ployment to about. 3,500 men, in the
1927-1928 season. About 50,000,
00> kroner are invested in the Nor
wegian whaling companies.

INSURANCE MONOPOLY IS
ASKED FOR STATU
State Industrial Insurance Com
n. iasioner James A. Hamilton oi
| New York favors a state monopoly
of workmen’s compensation and the
elimination of private insurance
concerns. With an exclusive State
fend, Mr. Hamilton said, employers
would not only be saved nearly 2 8
per cent of the premiums they now
pay, but they would be relieved o£
responsibility for injury or death ot
employees. Under the present sys
tem, if an insurance company fails,
the employer is responsible for the
compensation.
Russel York who returned from
th- States a short time ago is aL
prsent working in the Citizens
Steam Laundry. Frank Havens who
pu chased the laundry from Pi
Lund is reported as having sold his
interest to Bert Elstad.
