Catch of Cod In Norway.

The catch of cod in Norway for the
season just ended is greater than in
any one of the preceding four years.
However, the value CT the catch was
about 22,0OO,000 crowns, as compared
with a value of 100000 crowns for
the 1920 season. The total number of
fish caught in 1927 was 100000; the
1920 catch totaled 3S,S00,OO0. The
selling price is considerably lower and
the high cost of equipment and oils
makes the profit less than average.
The operating expenses were at the
same level as during the war.

LEPROSY DEVELOPES
 AT CAPITAL; WIFE OF
 COLONEL HAS DISEASE

WASHINGTON, D. C., July 20.- Army and navy circles are shocked on learning through the representa- tives of the District of Columbia Health Department that Mrs. Lutz Wahl wife of Colonel Wahl, of the United States Infantry, had devel- oped a case of ieprosy. Mrs Wahl was known well in Washington, where Colonel Wahl, who was a Bri- gadier General during the war, is stationed at the War Department.
 The Health Department granted a permit for Mrs. Wahl, whose home is in one of the exclusive sections of the city, to go to Louisiana for treatment at Government hos pital maintained by the United States Public Health, Service Ac- cording to information in the hands of the authorities the attack of the disease is a mild one and there is every hope that recovery may be obtained. x
 Officials of the United States Pub lice Health Service and Mrs. Wahl would be able to take advantage of the newly developed chaulmoogra oil treatment which they recently have perfected. The results with this treatment indicate that it will bring about a complete cure.
 Surgeon General Hugh c. Cum ming, of the Public Health Service said 86 persons had been certified as cured through the treatment as administered at the Federal Leper Hospital in Hawaii since it was adopted there. They have gone back, upon this confirmation, to live in the different communities

 Melton picture playhouses remain open, but have Been compelled to curtail performahces. and in several cases to reduce prices. Managers said there had been great overpro- duction of films by firms that failed to foresee the existing slump.
 Many leased theatres also have been returned to their owners. One large broducing firm, owning the atres throughout the country, has playhouses waiting to be leased, which has not been the case in years.
 It virtually is the only producing firm that has planned full sched- ule for the coming year This plan was adopted, lit was said, in order to m their own theatres

NO SALARIES 10 7 BE ACCEPTED IN
 MONTH OF JULY
Officials of United Mine Workers Will Give Salary
 to Help Unemployed.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July 20.A No salaries will be accepted by more than 100 officers of the United Mine Workers of America for stheir work this month because of the wide spread unemployment among coal miners," said today's issue of the Mine Workers Journal, official pub
 ication of tho international union.
 All officials, including the head officers, members of the interna- tiOnal executive board, organizers and field workers, according to the announcement, "nave volunteered to contribute their entire salaries for July to the organization in order that they may share the burden of hardships with the membership of the union"
 The exact amount thus contri- buted was not announced, it being 9aid that some of the officials work part time on per diem basis. The total, however, was expected to come to several thousand dollars. John L. Lewis, as president of the union. receives $666.66 a month, and Philip Murray, e-president, and William Green, secretary, each receive $5S3.33.
 The salaries, it was explained at the unions headquarters, will re- main in the general fund of the organize ton, which it was said has oil iaf If maintains only one fund for all ex- penditures of the union.
 Tt has long been the cry of some people" said the Mine Workers Journal today. that regardless of whether the membership worked or not the salaries of the officers went on as usual. Such talk Is indulged in solely for the purpose of creating distrust of the officers in the minds of the membership. Their volun- tary action, however, in contribut- ing their entire salary for July should go far to dissipate such i'm prcssions and prove that the off cials feel deep, sincere interest in the well being of the rank and file Fof the membership"
 Union headquarters estimated that not less than 150,000 union miners in the country, are, out of work, and that many thousands more work one to three days a week. Hundreds of mines, throughout the country, are closed and others are working short time hpcauSe of the slack de- mand for coal, it was said.
