Our natural ten dency Is to stick to the big streets. Here you're pretty certain to find the best eating spots in the most .unlikely places. " The "hunting around" situation is also complicated by the early 'closing hours of the general run of reslaurants. Most of them spe cialize on breakfast, luncheon and tea. Relatively few stay open for dinner. OUR best bet for luncheon I will be a "pub" If you do your picking carefully. Which will tinkle oddly in American ears. for a pub is just a saloon. But the variety of pubs in London is literally endless. If you'll look long enough, you'll find whatever you are looking for. : Some of these pubs Just wouldn't be believed in the States. Drinkers would take one look and dash off to sign the pledge, think ing the habit was creeping up on them and they were beginning to Bee things. They'll be named, for example, the Coach and Horses, or the Red Llun, or something like that, and as like as not they'll have flower pots around all the windows and more potted flowers Inside and maybe a motherly looking woman as barmaid. And tucked away Somewhere, probably upstairs, will be a little dining room that Is clean and tidy and serves food well above the average. Hi iOTHING Is commoner here than eating places in connec- ; tion with a pub, for the British ; like food with their drink. With j their strong drink, that is. Water ' is Just never served with a meal, j unless you demand It. ; ; Nor do you get a napkin unless ' you make a scene about it, even ; at the big placess. Americans who i . have lived here a long time say J that even before the war napkins were seldom provided, and if vou r insisieu on one an extra ennrge was usually made for It on the i. bill. T IPPIN'G runs about the same or perhaps a little moiw, is about the average rule. An American at a hotel gets a Jolt, for he leaves a tip at the table and sheds j tips to the porter and the mes ' senger and the doorman and so , on, and then when he gets Ills ; bill hD finds 10 per cent added to it for 'gratuities." After which, ; Just on general prlncipless, he'll : be tighter than the bark on a tree. DESSERT here is called a "sweet." There are all kinds of : sweets, but file tart gets this ; writer's money. A tart Is an open ' faced pie, served in square rather - than conical pieces. And on the r shallow side. A thicker one is apt to be called a pudding. They explain that PIE has a top on it. The British war diet Is ade quate, and the figures show that health has Improved during the war because of better dietetic balance, but there Is no more sugar than the law nllows, and you soon find that your sweet is relished, even though you may not have been fond of desserts in the Statess. Candy is scarce, mid what little there is is strictly rationed. Britain, incidentally, produces all her own sugar, from beets, which is quite nn achievement, saving a lot of shipping. By Charles V. Stanton Two matters of greatest importance to propagation and conservation of fish life on the Umpqua river were brought to public attention Monday. The State Game commission in preparing to start scientific study on the river and its tributaries, while lower Umpqua commercial finherm'eh; are placing before the State Fish commission a request for development of the Mill Creek hatchery on a permanent basis. 'iii While there may remain elements for dispute between sports and commercial fishermen on the Umpqua river, both groups are in full accord on the necessity for the study pro posed by the Game commission. From this study, which is set up for a period Of six years, we will be able to obtain data necessary to build up fish life and recreational re sources. Any recommendations made at present are based entirely upon individual beliefs, opinions and theories resulting from general observation. We know that fish life is rapidly de clining, but dozens of reasons may be advanced for this con dition, none benring scientific authority but premised, rather, upon observations of persons who are acquainted with the river either in recreational or commercial capaci ties. In other words, we can CLAIM certain factors are contributing to the decline in fish life and can offer what we believe is proof as to why the decline exists, but we have no statistics, no records, no scientific data to serve as evidence. The fish commission proposes to count the migratory fish in the river. This will be done in several ways. Two count ing stations will be set up at the Winchester dam. These will be towers over the fishways permitting Observers to look into the water and tally fish as they pass over a white board. Experience has proven that such counts are ex tremely accurate. Fish will be seined in the lower river, tagged and released and their migration followed. Spawn ing habits will be learned. Within a short time we shall know the seasons of migration, the hours during which fish travel, the principal spawning beds, the amount of food in the river, the chemical content of the water and numerous other factors connected with fish propagation. From these findings it should be possible to develop better stream man agement. The fish life of the Umpqua river still is sufficiently abundant that recreational resources can be restored through proper regulation and management, but we can not delay much longer, for rapid decline in several species in late years indicates ultimate extinction for some fish is certain within the near future if protective measures arc not taken very soon. Another most important project is advanced by com mercial fishermen of the lower Umpqua, who are seeking improvement to the Silver-side hatchery at Mill creek. P'ail ure of the State Fish commission to build up the Mill creek hatchery has long been a source of annoyance to Uoedsport. Heavy loss occurred two years ago when an earthen dam was washed out by high water and holding ponds were flooded, taking out hundreds of thousands of small fish, as yet unable to protect themselves from aquatic predators of the tidewater area. Although the hatchery has been re stored in a makeshift fashion, nothing has been done of a permanent nature. Commercial fishermen are asking improvements estimated to cost about $13,000 to provide capacity for holding two million salmon fingerliugs, while an equal number of smaller fish are proposed to be released in upper river tributaries as soon as they are large enough to protect themselves. At the last session of the legislature a bill No. 078 was passed which would limit commercial fishing on the Umpqua river to the period from July 1 to October 1. This would eliminate net fishing for spring Chinook salmon, leaving SilversideS as the principal salmon catch on the lower river. The development of increased hatching ca pacity is believed to be of the greatest importance if the industry is to be preserved. 4Mm AN1&' U LOOK AT TH'SUKE ) ALWAYS MY 1 '-t 7AkjtsR of dignity j GREATEST HERO ft ffiti H , Ma owH' HA-HA- TILL I SAW HIM V L irW&PooH 'JfW ,F He BECOMES BOUNCIN' IN A , WjyA PR&SIDEUT I'LL U RffiMAWS NET IxMr ( ALWAVS THINK OF 1 WITH ONE LEG VLlyWi..'A'Ssytfsv.cr.il.e. ; THE IDOL BUSTERS T.iUto.aT.T. j F RUIT Is extremely scarce, and unbelievably high In price.

V. Anderson, secretary, left Heedsport this morning to meet today at Portland with the Ore gon State Kish commission to urge enlargement of the Mill creek salmon hatchery and in stallation of permanent dams ami holding ponds. The Mill creek hatchery has been operated as a makeshift plant for several years. Two years ago holding pens and a tem porary dam were washed out by flood waters, causing a consider able loss of fish. Replacements since made are of only a tem mrary nature. Lower Umniiua fishermen have at their own expense conducted n survey of (lie property and have designed a tentative plan for permanent dams and enlarged holding pens, and propose Inl and in the occasional fruit stores for three shillings sixpense which is about 70 cents EACH. Little wormy apples about the size of crabapples are selling for i pence, which Is In the rough neighborhood of 13 cents, per pound. Plums are England's most plentiful fruit, and are now in the market. They sell at 44 pence per pound. Plums arc raw ma terial for Jam, than which there is no more standard article of English diet. They hi being served stewed as a sweet, and are jood. provements estimated to cost ap proximately 513,000, Secretary Anderson reports. It is estimated that the hatch ery constructed in accordance with the proposed plans would have capacity for holding approxi mately two million Silverside sal mon until large enough to re lease in the tidewater area. In addition, another two million or more fish could be hatched for distribution to upper tributaries of the Umpqua river while still small In size, although large enough to escape predators. The Roseburg Chamber of Commerce and Roseburg Hod ind Gun club, together with the N.-ws-Review, joined today in telegrams to the Kish commission uiging favorable consideration ot the Heedsport proposal.
