FISHERMEN AND DORIES DE
RIVE HELP AND INFORMA
TION FROM RADIO
NOME, Sept. 30. <7P)—A summer
in Alaskan waters found Henry
O'Malley, commissioner of *1116
bureau of fisheries, divorced from
his office by many thousands of
miles but in constant touch by
radio.
The radio is part of the special
equipment of the vessel in which he
cruised in fishery districts. Thru it
he kept in contact with canneries,
with federal stations and with
Washington.
Radio has become such an inte
gral part of the fishery industry
that regulations drawn up in Wash
ington are in effect within 48 hours
even in the most remote points of
Alaskan fishing ‘areas.
Short wave sets have been used
by several companies for communi
cation between plants and Seattle
headquarters and the federal radio
commission has been urgently re
quested to allow more organiza
tions the privilege of establishing
wireless connections.

I The commission has taken the!
stand that it would be illegal to!
jgrant air rights to any corporation
|for private use and all radio mes
j sages from Alaska canneries to the
| mainland cities are transmitted by
a combination of radio, cable and
telegraph.
| Radio has placed itself solidly
(with fishermen from the rockbound
i coast of Gloucester to Alaska
; Prices, weather forecasts, best I
markets for catches, and areas in
which the largest hauls are being
[made are broadcast and many fish
ing communities radio to the ves
isels information regarding the,
I families of the fishermen.
Fishing dories are called back to (
jthe mother ship, or guided in dif- j
jferent directions over the fishing
I grounds by radio. In some cases,
|where dories have strayed from the j
fleet, word is radioed to all ships j
!to keep a sharp lookout and many ,
.lives have been saved. j

Rev. A. Stecker, for many years a 1

(following instructions for tanning 1
■ skins:
For tanning skins we used the
following solution: one gallon wa
der, one quart salt, one-half ounce
:sulphuric acid. Put skins in solu
tion for 10 days. Later when tak
jen out, rinse well in clean water,
jhang up to dry (not in sunshine or
[strong heat.) When nearly dry. rub
by hand until pliable. This is ex
ceptionally good for Alaska. If
skins are hung up to dry when cold
so they will freeze dry, good results
will be obtained, and the flesh side
will then be white as snow. Such i
tanned skins are very good. Salt
sets the hair good; no smell, and!
I
nice and clean.
There is on ecertain way to elim
inate static. Shut off the set.

CHICAGO, Sept. 30, (£>)—,A new
type oil burning locomotive, wmch
looks like a steel baggage car and
uses steam at about three times the
normal pressure of an ordinary lo
comotive, is being given tests here.
Designed chiefly for small units j
on railway divisions contemplating j
electrification oi* motorization, it
can be used for larger and speedier
trains by multiplying the power
unit.
Steam is not stored in any large
quantity, but is made only as need
ed. It is generated in a small com
partment in the forward end of the
car where the controls are located.
The fuel is either distillate or or
dinary furnace oil. Steam is also
condensed and the recovered water
used again. Power is applied to
both rear and forward axles with
out transmission gears. Journals i
are roilar-bearing type.
The engine is 61 feet long and
weighs 117,000 pounds. The engines ;
are fastened under the car to per
mit floor space for baggage, express
and mail.
