DO fish talk?
Recent speculation about a monkey
language gives rise to this even more
startling theory. limited at by DR.. Alex

to the National Geographic society.
Talk of course, is used IN the sense
of communication a meaning which is
not extreme since we daily speak OF
talking over the telephone, the instru-
ment Of DR.. Bells invention, though the
voice" that is heard is not that of the
speaker, but mechanical reproduction
of his utterance.

such slight cause.

armed, but not a shot was fired during
the first hour of operations.
The raid followed a wild night at Hur-

moonshine whiskey to rs cents for we'll

lumber jacks too paralyzed from liquor
to realize what was happening.
The expedition to Hurley was ordered
by Federal Judge Lands after reports
had reached him that alleged moonshiners
had threatened to shoot any prohibition
raiders who put in an appearance. More

''Parasitic'' Element in
u. S. immigration Cr0aus
Government to Warn Consuls
abroad to Use More Care i,
Sitting Out Undertakes

WASHINGTON, Sept. "a. Reports
received at the State Department from
the immigration authorities concern
ing the class of immigrants now com
ing to this country may result in in
structions to American consuls in Eu-
rope to exercise greater care in sitting
out the undesira bles from the lists Of
those applying for permission to come
to the United States.
1t was said to-day that the foreign
repre- sentatiyes Of the State Depart
ment had been able to check materially
the attempts of the known radical
element to enter America, but that
they had not been able to prevent q
huge increase in the number of what
is characterized in the reports from
the immigration officers as economic
parasites"
immigration authorities have re-
ported to the Department that the
ever-increasing stream of immigra-
ton now moving into the United
States carries q far greater number
Of Europe's shiftless element than it
did before the war. Appeals Of the
immigration authorities to the depart
ment that it assist in clarifying the
stream declare that before the war
o large part Of those entering the
United States were in search Of work,
but that now the greater part are
those who are attempting 20 escape
work in their own countries.
