Gen. Felix Agnus Retires as Pub

Them Forty Years.

BALTIMORE. November 20.-Gen.
Felix Agnus. the veteran publisher of

lean that on December ! the American
and the Star will pass under the con-
troll of Frank A. Munsey, owner of
NE Baltimore News, the New York

tions.
The American is one of the oldest
newspapers in the United States. In
his vaIedictory Gen. Agnus says:
Il have realized for some time that
this property must go into the larger
realm of expenditure, but have been
convinced that at my age the task
should be handed on to younger men,
For nearly forty years it has been my
happy fortune to direct its course, and
l have seen and been part of the de-
velopment and changes in American
journalism"
Publication of the Star will cease
with Mr.. Munsey's acquisition of the
properties and the plants of the News
and the American will be consolidated
in Nj. Munsey's publication plant.
The American will be continued under
the same name.
Gen. Agnus is eighty-one years Of
age.

DO FISHES TALK?
THEY HAVE EARS.
SAYS DIR. BELL
Do fish talk?

DO ISI Sdtn.
Recent speculation about mon
key language gives rise to this
even more startling theory, hinted
at by DIR. Alexander Graham Bell
in a communication to the National
Geographic Society.
Talk" of course, is used in the
sense of communications: a mean
ing which is not extreme since
we daily speak of talking oSef
the telephone, the instrument OF
DIR. Bells invention, though the
voice" that is heard is not ina,
of the speaker, but mechanical
reproduction Of his utterance.
Ibid you ever put your neau
under water and chuck two stones
together to hear what the sounu
is like?" DR.. Bell writes. II you
have never done that. try 1t, ana
you'll get a new SENSATION: VIZ
II once. and it sounded as if a man
were hammering for all ne was
worth at my very ear.
Al then took two tiny little pep
bles and tapped them together
quite lightly under water. ana l.
sounded like man knocking a.
the door. 1t was rather startling
to hear such a loud noise from
such slight cause.
"Refecting upon various expert
ments, the thought occurred: IL
two little stones tapped together
can be heard under water, why
every tiny lobster that snaps ms
claws must make an audlble cllck.
/ wonder if there are creatures IN
the water that signal to one an
other by sound.

gently under water and listened,

rup. and a little while after that
a chirrup on the other side. There
We're creatures under the water
that were calling to one another.
II don't know whether all fish
make sounds or not. but there are
some fish that certainly do. The
drumf1sh on our coast drums away

hear him while you are walking
on the shore.

PUBLIC SERVICE
ENGINEERS AIM
Hoover Is Elected President
Of Newly Organized Council,
Representing 100000.

Public service is to be the cher aim
of the newly organized American En-
gineering Council. representing more
than 100000 members of the Fed
Grated American Engineering So
cieties, this policy having been fixed
on today at the first meeting of the
executive board of the council, fol-
lowing the close of the councils an
nual meeting last night.
The board meeting was presided
over by Herbert Hoover, who yester
day was elected president OF the coun-
cil and who in a comprehensive ad-
dress last night called on his fellow
engineers. acting in the capacity of
third party. to work for harmony in
the interests of employers and en-
ployes- Battle and destruction, he
lem.
IF the engineers, with their train
ing in quantitive thought, with their
intimate experience in industrial life.
can be of service in bringing about
cooperation between these great Geo
nomic groups of special interests
they will have performed an extraor-
binary service" said Mr.. Hoover.
I'VE have just passed through period
of unparalleled speculation. extrava-
sance and waste. We shall now not
only reap it's inevitable harvest of un-
employment and readjustment. but we
shall feel the real eject OF four years OF
world destruction. and from it economic
and social problems win stand out in
vivid disputation. I'VE hear a great deal
from extremists on one side about the
domination of the employer, and on the
other about the domination or organized
labor Probably the tendency to domi-
nation exists among the extremists on
both sides. One of the perplexing diff
cuties is to eliminate this same ex-
tremist. There are certain areas of
conflict of interest, but there is between
these groups far greater area of COM
mon interest, and if we can find meas
ures by which. through cooperation, the
field of common interest could be or
ganized, then the area of conflict could
be in the largest degree eliminated.
THE American Federation of Labor
has publicly stated that it desires the
support Of the engineering skill of the
United States in the development of
methods for increasing production, and
i believe it Is the duty of our body to
undertake a constructive consideration
of these problems and to give assistance
not only to the Federation of Labor, but
also to the other great economic or
ganizations interested in this problem,
such as the Employers Association and
the chambers Of commerce.
Proper shop committee organization
was suggested by Mr.. Hoover as one
way by which industrial disputes might
be avoided, and he recommended estab-
lishment- of two or three grades of pay
for workers Of each trade. to eliminate
the evil of paying the, good worker and
the poor one the same wage.
