...Princess Lilybet" which adorns this week's issue of TIME and the usual selection for the outside page is hopefully encouraging. I had about concluded that your art editor was a hopeless, bilious pessimist, for however passable the originals of his selections may have looked in the flesh, when the lineaments were transferred to the cover they generally resembled a gnome, gargoyle or anthropoid...
...back to the ocean to grow sleek and begin the cycle over again next year.* Many an Alaskan salmon, however, is leaping this April-May not into a waterfall but into round tin cans, neatly sealed and labeled. These round cans, each of them containing one pound of salmon flesh, are filled in 135 canneries in Alaska and in 64 in Washington, Oregon, California. Forty-eight cans are packed in a case. In 1928 the canneries turned out nearly 7,000,000 cases at about $9 per case (circa $60,000,000 worth). In 1927 about 40% less salmon jumped...
...officially opened the campaign with a lecture on the Pink salmon, obligingly giving special attention to its eatable qualities.

Swaying on his canes, Mr. Snowden worked himself up to a pitch of spleen, harked back to the old debt settlements made...
...great climactic chapter of her story, Authoress Lowell told of the burning and sinking of the Minnie A. Caine off the coast of Australia some seven years ago, she swimming three miles to a light-ship with a family of kittens clinging with their claws to her firm flesh. What started last week's uproar was the discovery of the Minnie A. Caine, lying placidly at anchor in Oakland Harbor, Calif. She has been there for the past two years. Fact-finders were able to show that Joan Lowell and her father had been aboard the Minnie A. Caine...
