HEARING ON ALASKA
SALMON FISHING AT
SEATTLE NEXT WEEK
SEATTLE, Nov. 14 (my Associated
Press).—Restriction of salmon fishing
in Southwestern -Alaska streams, as a
means of stopping the depletion of the
Northern territory's supply of salmon,
has been proposed. The department
of commerce has ordered a hearing on
the proposal to be held at the Seattle
office of the United States bureau of
fisheries November 20,
All the Alaska streams between
Cape Spencer, not far from Juneau,
and Cape Sarichef, on the western
tip of Unimak island, will be affected
by the proposed order if it is made
into a law.
Reports received by officials of the
fisheries bureau indicate that fisher
men are going up the streams to the
spawning grounds for some of their
fish. As a result the schools of salmon
are being depleted.

MORE MEMBERSHIPS
FOR ’ RED CROSS
DETROIT, Mich., Nov. 14 (by As
sociated Press).—Many urgent issues
are to be discussed in the fortieth i—
convention of the International Young
Men's Christian Association, which is
to be held here November 19 to 21,
according to the general officers of
the organization. The gathering is
expected to bring to Detroit upwards
of 5.000 delegates, representing a
membership of more than one million
men and boys and the 30.000 war wel
fare workers of the association who
served during the war in forty-two
countries. There will be delegates
from Canada, all of the United States
and the insular possessions.
Co-operation of the Young Men's
Christian Association in assimilating
back into civil life the 4,800,000 men
who served in the American armed
forces during the war and the 500,000
who served in the Canadian armies
will be one of the big subjects for con
sideration. Stabilization of labor, j
curbing discontent and unrest, exten-1
sion of the Y. M. C. A. work through
the war organization, including the use
of the “Y” war hut, and plans for
world-wide expansion of the American
Y. M. C. A., will also be discussed. j
Helium Gas Cheapenea.
Up to 1015 the total output of
helium gas in all the world had prob
ably been less than 100 cubic feet, and
It was worth about $1,700 a cubic foot
But just before the armistice was
signed a shipment of 150,000 cubit
feet of helium gas was sent to Europe,
and It costs less than 10 cents a cubit
foot.
Helium gas was first discovered on
the sun, by spectroscopy. It Is the
best gas for use in balloons, because
It is not iuflammable. It is now ex
tracted from the natural gas of Texas
and Kansas.
The method Is delicate and com
plex, but is based upon the fact that
the principal constituents of natural
gas liquefy when cooled to about minus
320 degrees F., but that helium re
mains a gas at that temperature, and
hence Is easily separated.
WHAT THE SCOUTS DO.
