U. S. Fishermen ~~ Will Oust Japs
WASHINGTON, May 20 (U.P.). —Launching his own offensive in the embattled Aleutians, Fishery Co-ordinator Harold L. Ickes served notice today that the giant King crabs found in the Bering sea would hereafter be canned by Americans—not Japanese. Ickes said that before the war the Japanese were taking the King crab—each weighing up to 22 pounds and measuring some 50 inches across with legs outstretched—in sight of American territory just north of the Aleutians, and canning it on floating canneries. In one year this country imported 10,720,000 pounds of this crab meat, valued at $4,582,000, from Japan, Ickes said. Ninety five per cent of the canned crab meat consumed by the United States came from this source, he reported. Now Ickes said, the King crab will be canned commercially by Americans. The present outlook he hinted, is that the industry will continue to thrive in American. hands after the war.

POLICE BREAK DOOR, - SAVE CHILD'S LIFE
LOS ANGELES, Cal. (U. P.).— Ten-months-old Margaret Mortz, by placing a live electric wire in her mouth, causing a burn which might have proved fatal, caused a demonstration of what can be done in the matter of first-aid relief. The necessary ointment for such an injury could only be located at San Francisco. A telephone call resulted in the police breaking open the door at night of a wholesale drug warehouse where the ointment was stored, placing it on a plane and rushing it to the bedside of the child in time to save a life.

SAVE TIME LOST IN WINDING TIMEPIECE
WASHINGTON. — A new device reduces the daily time-consuming task of winding your watch to about two seconds and eliminates “finger fatigue and calluses.” In watch testing laboratories, where many watches must be wound each day, it has a real prac- | tical advantage. The device is a strip of fabricbacked polyvinyl plastic on a paddle a foot long. Along this, the winding stem is drawn in one motion,
LOWLY BEER BOTTLE ACQUIRES DIGNITY
