PUBLIC BUILDINGS
IN MUNICH TURNED
into HOSPITALS

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
Munich. Germany. Aug. 20-Ameri-
can tourists who have visited the Ba-
varian capital. and who have wor-
SHIPPED at the artistic shrines in the
famous National Museum. probably
would be shocked TO find the former
quarters of old masters now trans
formed into a huge orthopedic depart
ment for treating crippled limbs and
to see almost naked soldiers bathing
in the fountains of the wonderful gar.
dens. and taking sun baths and gym
nastic exercises on the lawns
The National Museum however is
not the only Munich building to have
undergone great changes The mag
nificent new custom house is now a
hospital. In the rooms where former
ly baggage and freight were inspect
ed hundreds Of wounded soldiers now
lie on cots. In the office of the col
lector of customs surgeons sleep. and
In the transfer department there are
rows Of indictments.
The availability of the customs
house as hospital, and especially as
sort Of transfer station for wounded
soldiers was apparent almost as soon
as the wounded began to come back
from the battlef1elds. Trains run right
to one side of the huge buildings. and
soldiers not only can be unloaded from
them as easily as baggage but many
also be transferred to other trains for
other parts Of Bavaria with a mini
mum amount of trouble. and to street
cars for other hospitals in Munich.
The amount of customs inspection
that is now necessary in Munich is APP
proximately nil. so that it was essen
TALLY simple matter to transform
the character of the building. None in
the Whole city has so perfectly fitted
the requirements of hospital. for in
addition to the splendid facilities for
taking patients right off hospital trains
the rooms are large and airy, and sew
eral of them are we'll lighted 10 serve
as operating rooms.
Munich, like a dozen other German
cities. has turned its largest Industrial
school into vocational school for
crippled soldiers. The building has a
capacity of several hundred pupils. and
all the necessary appliances for teach
ing soldiers new trades. or for teach
ing them how to continue their old
trade notwithstanding impaired facul-
ties
The vocational school consists really
of three departments. In the first
wounded soldiers are. so far as it is
possible. cured. At least, open wounds
are closed, and they are given the reg
uiar hospital treatment until it is def
nitely established that a stiffened leg
never will become timber, or a crushed
or smashed arm better.
When his physical status has been
definitely established the soldier moves
on to the vocational or industrial de-
partment. where his capabilities and
inclinations are studied. Then he goes
into the bindery, or the print shop.

HUMPBACK SALMON.

Supt. James d. DeRocher. of the
United States fish hatchery at East
Orland. says there is no doubt that
the fish taken recently at the Bangor
dam were humpback salmon from fry
planted last year.
The size of the fish. the largest being
six and one-fourth pounds. led many
to the conclusion that the fish were
not Of the humpback species. as it did
not seem possible they could have
reached that size from the fry planted
in the early spring of last year. Supt,
DeRocher says this is a fact, however.
and that the fish mature in two years.
In their native waters they average
five pounds in weight, one of ten
pounds being considered large. The
fact that the fish taken here have
reached six pounds, proves that they
take kindly to these waters.
Fish Of the same description, and
also believed to be fumpback salmon.
were taken recently at Harrington,
but have not been positively identified.
William Drummey. of the Green
Lake hatchery. spent several days last
week in Ellsworth. trying to locate the
humpback salmon in Union river, but
could not secure positive proof that
the fish have returned TO this river.
It is hoped that some of the fish may
show up in the weirs at Newbury

Supt. DeRocher writes the Americ.
as follows:
East orland. Sept. 10, 1856.
My Dear Editor:
In reply to your letter Of inquiry re-
lating to humpback salmon, wis,
to say that in 1896 there were plsntsS
in Maine waters 57o,l55 fry and flnp.r
lings, and in 1908 there were plan,ss
420.sss fry. These were all hum,-
backs. and nothing was ever heard
from them after their liberation. I, i
not possible that these fish are tho
results Of said plants. as they mature
at two years Of age and die at na,ur.
ity.
There are five Pacific salmon, name.
~. ouinnat. blUeback. silver. hump.
hack and dog. They die at matu-ity
which is from two to five years, tho
humpback being the shortest-lived Of
any Of the others.
In %our letter you refer to the fish
that are being taken at Bangor AZ
possibly being ouinnat salmon. Moth.
ing can be more remote than this the.
Cry. The first fish captured at Bangor
and pronounced humpback by me
was sent to Washington on Aug.
and the statement was verified by the
scientists there.
TIE eggs that these fish Matched
from were taken az Quicker Bush and
Quillcene. two Of the Puget Sound sta.
tons, the latter part OF August and
first part Of September in 1913. max.
Ing Them two years old al this time
Their average weight on the Pacific
coast is five pounds, 4 ten-pound one
being considered large.
There have been 20 Of this species
captured al Bangor within the past
month. the smallest weighing three
pounds and the largest six and one.
quarter. on Sept :. | visited the
tishwav a, Bangor and found two
small females which were in perfec,
con 7ition TO spawn. so I relieved them
of their eggs. about 5000 in number.
which were sent TO this station 10 de.
Nelop and hatch. These are the frs,
humphack salmon eggs ever taken on
the Atlantic coast.
REGARDING the fish recently taken az
Harrington, am una ple 10 give YOU
any information. but /, as you say the
description Is identical with those
captured at Bangor. then they are
without doubt humptacks.
There is 4 chance of color in the
Pacific salmon as ths spawning season
draws near and ,hs life cycle If the
fish draws to a close. This change Of
color is caused by rhs physical deter.
iorat:on, due wholly to the influences
connected with the growth Of the re-
productive organs Death Of both
sexes is inevitable after spawning. II
is only the male FISH that develop the
hump. and that does not appear until
the spawning season approaches.
Very truly yours.

Organization and cooperation
constitute the master key that I'M
locks the door to the development
of prosperity in Southwest Louis
lana.
This section is above all an agri-
cultural section and generally diff
fused prosperity depends absolute
ly upon the successful development
of Our principal industry, which is
agriculture. And be it known that
the term agriculture, as here en-
ployed, means something more than
cotton, rice and sugar cane.
1t applies to all products that
may be produced successfully on
the farm, including live stock and
dairy products, swine, sheep, poul-
try, fruits and vegetables. The
day of the single-crop system has
gone, and the farmer who hopes to
succeed must diversity and build
up his land.
And when the problem of diver
sifcation is confronted success i'm
plies organization and cooperation.
This is necessary in order that there
may be some system and a degree
of uniformity---if that term may
be employed in connection with
diversifcation.
Marketing is the essential prob
lem in successful diversifcation.
Likewise, it is the most difficult
problem connected with it and the
highest degree of intelligent coop
Grafton is necessary to the solution
of the marketing problem.
And it is to enlist the earnest and
active cooperation of every bust
ness and agricultural interest in
Southwest Louisiana in the task of
solving that problem that this Blu
reau is planning an energetic and
comprehensive campaign.
It's proposed Division of Better
Farming and Markets is an abso-
lutte necessity to the people; to the
banker as well as to the farmer, to
the merchant as we'll as to the live
stock man. Therefore. in order to
achieve success, the CO cooperation of
all those interests must be given
heartily to President Chappuis and
the Directors who shall accompany
him in his notable campaign in be-
half of Southwest Louisiana S pros
perity.

Farming and Markets; Of Drain

age, Transportation and Highways
and of Publicity, immigration and
Industry, which it is proposed to
establish, will constitute an equip
ped organization such as is not
found elsewhere in the South and
which can be of infinite service to
every interest of this section. 1t
will come into most intimate touch
with every interest and industry
with expert help in every emer-
gency.
We have drifted aimlessly along
until blue ruin stares us in the
face. Cooperation, the co-opera-
ton of everybody. is what is re-
quired to place our business and
industry on a solid foundation.
We can do this by putting our
combined strength behind the
Southwest Louisiana Development
Bureau and putting it in position
where it can do this great work.
1t is up to each one to say whether
he will respond to: the call of Presi-
dent Chapuis, or shirk and throw
the burden on his neighbor. Let's
all have hand in this great Pros
perity Campaign.

OF the situation, that has prevailed in Missis-

From certain sources have come suggestions
that this session of the legislature will be given
to politics, to the neglect of important legislation
which the welfare of the State demands. These
suggestions have proceeded almost exclusively
from sources that have been most active in pro-
ducing and fostering strife and turmoil into which
our State has been plunged. Our best answer to
them will lie in the performance Of our duty,
righteOusly as we see it, keeping m mind at all
times, the full measure of what we owe to our
self respect as Senators and as men,
From the same sources have come suggestions
that the resentment and condemnation growing
out of the conduct of the governor, in relation to
this disturbed situation, might lead to an effort
