Ito.mer Acquaintances One Meets Ir
New York Must Not Be Judged
by Their Appearance.
Tou never can tell who Is who wher
you meet them Id the White Light sec
tlon. The other uight a Plttsburghei
rnn Into a former Steel Cltylte whi
was v.auderlng along the big lane. Hi j
wasn't so glad to see him. as he fearn
a "touch." because back home the mat
never seemed prosperous, neither wai
he down and out. His appeuranc«|
hadn't changed since his residency
here.
"Hnw long have you been living It
New York?" asked the visitor.
"Oli. about three years." replied tin j
former resident.
"Then you know the town prettj
wel! ?" was the next query.
The former Plttsburgher admlttei
that he did. and gave the visitor somt
advice and warning about the big city
He listened. Then he usked: "Whui
are you doing here. Bill?"
"Working for a bank down town.'
replied the other man.
The Plttsburgher didn't press his
chance friend for details. He thoughi
that Hill had one of those Jobs down
town where one starves to deatL
amidst the wealth of the nation—die ol
thirst upon the fountain's brink .
"Won't sou take lunch with me?" he J
asked. and Bill said he would be de
lighted—some time.
'1 lie next day the Plttsburgher went
to a bunk down town to see about a
choc!; of a friend of his which had
gone astray. "You will have to see
the cashier," he was told, and there'
was_ the former Steel City man. He
was In an office market "private" oo
tile dour and Uis name in gold on the
side of tlie desk. He was cashier ol
one of the bijr^st banks In the world.
Yesterday was a great day for the
Red Cross. No report lias yet beea
received from tho Juneau Chapter
as to what amounts will be cred'lted
to Skagway on account of the
steamship companies' subscriptions |
and the Committee is therefore un
able to make a definite official re
port of the total amount received
to dale. However, the local sub
scriptions yesterday made a splen
did showing and wlicu the final
figure is announced, Skagway will
have every reason to b© proutf of |
her "art in the bis War Fund
Drive.
The solicitation committee report j
tha» they were everywhere receiv
ed w.th enthusiasm an# that) practi
cal every subscription was accom
panied by a wish that the amount J
might be even more and the asser
tion that more would follow either
before the end of tho Drive or from
time time after that. No greater j
proof could bo given, of the full
coniidence and co-operation of everyjj
v'alk of life in the spirit an# the
ideals of the Red Cross than the |
demonstration yesterday, when, peo"
pie not only gave and gave liberl
ly, f'Ut gave joyfully and enthusiasti
cally. One of the returned Cana
Giau soiuiers asKt-u a souuuur |
what the drive was all about ajid j
when he was told, replied that he
would like to have a pait in it him
selg. "Why," said' the solicitor,
"Haven't you <iono your bit already
the soldier, "No man who has
been "over there" hesitates about
doing a!l he can for tho Red Cross."
And he maiVe his contribution.
Practically everyone who ap
peared on tho ten solicitors' lists
was seen yesterday. However, it
rnr.y be that some were overlooked
by pure oversight, one solicitor
thinking the name w*as on some
Other list, and the committee wish
es to announce to any 'Such that if
they will make the fact known to
any of the committeemen. Messrs.
Kville. Bunting. Si-ppre'le. Hardy,

■ Sai'dine Shortage Expected.
' Shortage of sardines this spring is
expected to rasult from the severity
of the past winter. Storms and great
masses of floating ice have destroyed
hundreds of sardine weirs, according
to Henry S. Culver,. United States con
sul at New Hrunswick, who says in a
commerce report that even the weirs
not wholly destroyed are so badly dam
aged that I't may not be possible to
.use them tMs spring.
There wl'll be practically no catch

Brunswick coast. The weirs may not
be in condition for use until snmmer,
and the catch for the year will prob
ably be sj.aaller than In any recent
years. The past winter is snid to have
been the most severe the New Bruos

Housewife Finds Joy in ThouQht Thai
She la Helping to Defeat the
Hated Boche.
"It's a funny tiling," said the Man to
his Wife the other night. "You used
,to like cooking, as I remember it,
Breaking a new maid in was always n
time of great trial and tribulation. Bui
every night I come home to dinner yo«
emerge from the kitchen almost as
though you hated to leave the master
pieces you have evolved long enough
to greet your hard-working husband
properly. What's the reason?"
"Well," said the Wife of her Hus
band, "it's like this. It's a sort of
game. I may not ever see any fighting,
but I feel that out there In the kitchen
1 am helping France, England and, last
but not least, our own blessed boys.
Every time I make a loaf of rye bread
I feel like waving a flag. Every time
I make my allowance stretch a little
bit I feel as though I had won a battle.
And so I have. I've beaten old General
Hlghcostallvlng. Every time I squeeze
a War Savings stamp out of the food
allowance I feel that I personally have
fired a shot at the Boches."
"Good girl," and the Man patted his
Wife gently. "Since I can't go and we
have no one to give, the best we can
do Is to play the game over here as
though we loved It."

the prices for fish, were set by the
government, and they say in giving

This is brought about by the gov
ernment fixing the maximum price
to be paid y the government to
the fish brokers wh<) sell the finish

operators were forced to have affix
ed price of the fish, bought which
were to be canned so that they
