Washington. Commissioner Henry D'Malley has recently brought the Headquarters of the United States of fisheries back from its annual migration. Nominally the headquarters is in Washington, D. C.; actually the bureau headquarters is In Alaska during ;he summer months. The commissioner, sailing In the bu reau flagship In Alaskan waters, orders to Washington by wireless and cable. A messenger hurried each order to the secretary ol tommerce for his signature. The secretarys approval, returned 5,000 miles by cable and wireless, made the recom mended order an official regulation Within less than 12 hours. bu-rea- i.OOO-mil- u e A $54,000,000 Business. The White bill for the protection ol Alaskan fisheries elevates the secretary of commerce to master and controller of commercial fisheries in the territory. He dictates the rules governing an annual business amounting to $54,000,000, the largest single Indus try in. Seward's Ice Box. The condition of the fisheries Is outlined by Commissioner OMalley, who proxies every summer In Alaska for the secretary of commerce, in a communication to the National Geographic , society. The 1929 Alaska salmon production, he said, readied 5,200,800 coses by August 31, and Is well up to the r average. Alaska mark of the cans of salmon canned two for every man, woman and child in the United States. Use of airplanes for patroling fish service on official Jng waters, or extending fishing orders limiting privileges, depending on the salmon runs, and the introduction to the United States market of the neglected chum salmon in fresh fillets, were features of the 1929 season. The United States bureau of fish erles in Alaska must keep watch on a coast line longer than a line around the earth at the equator. A force of 200 representatives and a fleet of 17 bureau-owneboats and numerous chartered craft, carry on duties ranging from capturing poachers to teachacing school. Fisheries agents must the to that salmon go the tually count spawning grounds because the law requires that 50 per cent of the salmon run must be permitted to pass the nets and traps of the commercial canneries.

Conservation pays its way In Alaska and has won wide public approval, continued the commissioner. Under old loose regulations the salmon pack of the territory fell 3,500,000 cases. Under the stricter control of the White bill of 1924, annual fishery figures roll up unmistakable evidence that the decline of Alaskas salmon fisheries has been checked. Five years operation have proved that the territory, through scientific fisheries control, can stabilize its chief industry which gives employment to 30,000 men and provides of the world's annual salmon catch. The Yukon and the Kuskokwim are open only to natives and resident whites, who catch the fish for food for themselves and their dogs. All salmon rivers of Alaska are closed to commercial fishing, and all fishing areas have a weekly closed period. This period has been extended by order in many cases to as long as 96 hours a week. The secretary of commerce has power to prohibit commercial fishing in any area ; channel, estuary or bay, at any time. Airplanes proved so successful for patrol work, especially in the wild, coast, that the bureau will probably continue and extend this new service. Thousands of the square miles can be covered in brief time with an airplane and the observer high in the air can see fishing gear in the water much more readily than can a man from a boat.

In this day of power farming it is economy for every farmer to have a good weather-tigh- t house for his machinery and the equipment that goes with it, and also a room where the more simple repairs can be made. Shown In the illustration is an excellent design for a modern machinery shed and repair shop. This building is of good construction, but is not expensive. It is a simple farm building, stands on a concrete foundation and should have a concrete floor. However, many farmers do not go to the expense of laying concrete in the storage space, but a concrete floor Is pretty much a necessity in the repair shop. The continuous sliding doors at the front of the building permit the storage of the larger of the modern farm machines without trouble. At the same time these doors close tightly, which keeps out weather and the birds which are a nuisance around machinery. The building is 60 feet long and 22 feet wide. In connection ' with the floor plans are elevations and together with a number of details wbidh will enable farmers themselves or a local contractor to erect this building.

The kitchen, that necessity in every home of whatever size, should be so placed that the smoke and odors from the cooking foods are carried away from the rest of the house. Thus it would in many cases be at the northern end of the place, where the pre-- . vailing winds In our climate at least would blow the aromas away from the other rooms. The kitchen may very happily be designed toward the front of the house, especially if the house faces north, and there can be no possible objection to such a design. The service entrance may be at the side of the building, the drying room and the service yard being inclosed within a lattice wall, a stone wall or a high Jiedge. Rough Stipple Finish Good for Plain Room. A rough stipple is an unusual wood treatment which would be suitable in a plain rbom and with furniture of a somewhat heavy or massive type. To obtain this finish, a little plaster of parls Is mixed with the final coat ol paint which is applied in' the usual way and stippled. The roughnels of the mixture causes little projections of the paint to remain in the finish. A glaze coating (which is usually wiped over) Is sometimes spread over the rough coating. - |
