FISHERIES INVESTIGATION
ADVOCATED BY SCIENTISTS

PASADENA, Cal, June ia
warning was uttered here today by
Professor John N. Cobb, director of
the College of Fisheries at the Uni
versity of Washington, Seattle,
with respect to the fishing industry
of the North Pacific. In an address
before the Western Society of Nat
uralists at the convention of the
American Association for the adj
vancement of Science, he said:
THE paramount need of the Pa
cific coast fisheries, and in fact all
other fisheries as well, is an accur-
ate statistical base. At present the
statistical data collected and pub
lished are frequently inaccurate,
in some instances misleading, and in
others incomplete because made at
too long intervals. Those published
by the u. S. bureau of fisheries
of the latter type, and they would
amply answer the purpose If the bu-
reau had funds and personnel suf-
ficient to permit of it's making a
complete statistical investigation
every year, instead of at intervals
of four or five years as at present.
Had we at our command such a full
and accurate statistical data, we
could easily determine whether our
fisheries we're increasing, and apply
the proper remedies, instead of
cropping in the dark as at present.
"a word of caution should be ut
tered here. A few of our fisheries
are at present in a declining con-
dition, and the danger is that if the
investigation fall into the wrong
hands and a very ambitious scheme
is followed, the patient may die
before the doctors have satisfied
themselves that he is really sick.
A complete life history of every
commercial species would be an ex
cellent thing to have, but knowing
so well the difficulty experienced in
securing adequate funds from the
federal and state governments for
carrying on scientific work, we had
better be satisfied at first with re-
stricting our endeavors to the OBJ
tanning of the essential land vital
facts upon which to base our meas
ures for conserving and propetuating
the fisheries, rather than dissipate
-- R,.Ja - ofrfutYr ~
after the unattainable, or for some
thing that would take years to COM
plete.

WALKS OVER FIRE
BUT IS UN|AJUREO
NATIVE ITALIAN TRICK DONE
BY NEWSPAPER COR
RESPONDENT

PAPEETE, Island of Tahiti, June
19.-Walking i've stones heated
white hot is the recent experience
of an English newspaper correspond
ent who makes his home here. He
emerged without injury or the
slightest trace of fire on shoes or
clothes and said he felt no discom-
fort whatever. He participated in
the ceremony CT passing through
fire." or "Umiti" as it is called by
the Tahitians.
Whatever trick I. there may be in
performing this ceremonial is a Sc
cret religiously held by a small clan
of natives on the island of Raiatea.
A large pit is dug in which are
placed huge. dry logs of wood over
laid with a thick layer of large river
stones. The fire then is kindled and
made to burn fiercely until the
stones become white hot. Native
priests, or wizards, descend into the
pot, Notwithstanding the fact that
the intense heat radiating from it
keeps the onlookers at a distance,
and walk barefooted over the heated
stones inviting those who have the
courage to follow them.
Many theories have been advanced
as to why the naked feet of the IA
tives are not scorched but no salts
factory explanation of the phenome-
non yet has been advanced. The
Englishman wore his shoes.

MANY Refreshments
BORDER CAVALRY
SERVICE ATTRACTS YOUNG MEN
WHO LIKE TO
RIDE

MARIA, Texas, June 13.-MeXi-
can border service is attractive 10
young Americans who like to ride,
shoot and live in the open. To
prove that the lure of being riders
of the purple sage is strong for his
men, Colonel George T. Langhorne,
commanding the Big Bend district OF
Texas quotes figures to show that
467 of his men had re-enlisted since
the recruiting order was issued in an
effort to retain border veterans in
the cavalry service. During the
first month the recruiting order was
in effect $50 men re-enlisted and
the total enlistments for a second or
third our of duty in the Big Bend
are more than IS per cent of the
total strength of the border troops
in this district.
On the outpost at Ruidosa, miles
from the nearest habitation, 80 per
cent of Troop M. Eighth cavalry,
re-enlisted. The machine gun troop
showed the highest percentage with
20 re-enlistments. Troop l was
a close second with 2S re-enlist-
ments. Colonel Langhorne considers
the showing of his recruiting cam
paign all the more remarkable from
the fact that the district command
las been stationed in the Big Bend
district, away from a large city,
almost two years. This, he says,
explains the eagerness for re-en-
l.stment on the part of the men
T he morale is higher and the spirit
OF regimental loyalty more intense
because the men are thrown more
together in the wilds, are not dis
tracted from their military duties
by the attractions of a large city
nearby and come in closer and more
personal contact with the officers
them. This explains
why the men voted almost as a unit
to remain in the Big Bend rather
than transfer to Fort Bliss, Colonel
l.angnorne added.

ORE BEING SHIPPED FROM
CHERRY CREEK DISTRICT

Three carloads of ore We're shipped
last month from the EXchequer mine
at Cherry Creek and shipments from
the Black Metal and others are re-
ported to have brought the total of
shipments for the month to a credit
able figure. The Nevada Northern
railroad has constructed a 1O0-foot
loading platform for the handling of
ore from the Cherry Creek district.
Following a clew given him by old
residents, j.. w. Walker, manager of
the Exchequer and Mary Ann mines,
recently discovered a wagon load of
ore dumped at a roadside, where it
had been thrown from a wagon in
the early days. 1t is supposed a
freighter lost control of his horses
on a steep hill. Walker had the ore
assayed and found that it contained
.142 ounces silver and AZ per CEN
lead. He shipped the ore. The
principal interest in this discovery is
that the material must have come
from the lower workings of the Ex-
chequer, which have been flooded
for many years. The management
now plans to drain these workings
through a tunnel connecting with
the old Imperial mine.

In Macedonia the American Re-
Cross men ~jocularly called them

winter.
eff it had not been for the British
army we would have had to stop
work up here during the rush-back
of the deportees from Bulgaria in
November, December and January
said one Red Cross man.
Il was bowling anti-English be-
fore this war;" added the Red Cross
man, formerly a sergeant in the
army, but I'm strong for the Brit
ishers now. They fed us, they gave
us food for the refugees, they turned
over their army bakery at OXilar
to us, they gave us transportation by
rail and put their lorries at our dis
posal. Anything you say about what
they have done for Americans out
here in the Near East is not too
strong"
General Milne of the British army
in the Balkans stood behind the AM
erican Red Cross during the four
months ending February % when
the first food stuffs shipped by Am
orleans for the relief of Greece
reached Macedonia.
Says Major Horace S. Oakley of
Chicago: our whole Macedonian
expedition would have collapsed had
it not been for the British. The
British forces had occupied eastern
Macedonia and knew it's desperate
need"
Everywhere one goes in the Bal

Everywhere British officers and
men have gone far out of their way
to help Americans on their missions.
American army couriers, United
States food mission officers. Near

erican Red Cross all tell the same
stories of kindness, courtesy and

The Anglo-American entente is no
idle dream. Out here in the Near
East it has taken practical form.
Wherever an American needs help,
wherever a representative or groups
of American relief workers need a
lift there hobs I'D a courteous Brit
ish officer or soldier intent on &C.
menting the entente.
Do American Red Cross personnel
need to transport supplies or person
mel from Athens to Rome, to Con-
stantinople, to Asia Minor, to Sa-
loniki, the Rumanian coast? There
is room aboard a British destroyer,
"subchaser" or motor lorry. For
meals and transportation no charge
is made.
The Balkan traveller strikes a
lonely town in m~id-Siberia. British
officers take him or her into their
mess. They speed Mr.. and Miss
America ON his or her way with a
liberal supply of canned goods for
the trip and place a motor truck or
car at his or her disposal.
your people have been good to
us elsewhere" they explain, land we
are only reciprocating. No charge.
Chalk it up to the entente"
Between American and British
naval officers there is brotherly
camaraderie. And even the 'gobs''
have come to the conclusion that the
"limey" after all is a pretty good
old skate"
At Saloniki British officers find
our Red Cross girls most bewitch-
ing. At Belgrade American and
British officers mess and knock
about ensemble. In Bucharest they
sit at the same tables in the cafe or

WANTS STATE TO BUY
MYSTIC ORAL SCHOOL

A hearing was held Tuesday at
Hartford before the committee on hui
name institutions relative to the prof.
ect of the state buying the Mystic
Oral school and taking entire control
OF it For number of years the state
has helped it out financially tg making
an annual appropriation for its USE
based upon the number of Connect
cut patients cared for by the institu-
ton.
1t developed at the hearing that the
state is asked to purchase the plant
for $4,000 and take 1t over and con-
duct it as public institution, thus
perpetuating the oral method Of teach
ing the deaf and dumb. 1t was argued
by Mrs. Clara Michigan, who appear
sd as the principal advocate of the
| project, that for the stat etc take over
! the school would be in line with other
charitable work now undertaken with
| so much success by the state. Giving
the unfortunates born into the world
without hearing the best possible care
! In order to have them become useful
| citizens instead of charges upon the
community, was an obligation of the
| state, and by taking over and develop
| ing the Mystic school the state would
be performing a great and usefu
| charity.
| DR.. Allyn, who is president of the
school corporation, also spoke in favor
