 CHICAGO, March 29.-Applying the conditions in other industries which led to national agreements to the railroad industry, w. Jett Lauck. consulting economist for the railroad unions, today presented arguments before the railroad labor board in favor of national agreements on rail- roa ds.
 Organization of employees as well as or rganization of unions has be- come nation wide because the indus tries have become nation wide,' MT. Lauck said in presenting an exhibit on the movement toward national agreements. He declared that when both employers and employees were organized into national bodies, the Way to industrial peace was through national agreements.
 "In no industry is it more i'm portant than in transportation that a sound basis for national unity be laid" he declared,
 Statistics and data were presented covering the origin and operation of national agreements in the stove in- dustry, glass bottle industry, pottery clothing manufacturing and coal mining industries and in electrical workers union.

 The consensus of evidence shows that in the rapid expansion of our in dustries we have reached the point where nothing but discord results from independent action by shor committees and local unions.

 WI I HIN A WEEK
Depositors Endorse Plan Of Readjustment at Mass Meeting = To Accept Time Certificates

The Citizens State bank at Five Points, which suspended operations last week, will reopen during the lat ter part of this week or the first ot next This decision was made yes terday at mass meeting of de- positors and officers of the bank held at the Shrine auditorium, which was attended by more than 500 and which adopted the plan of readjustment by an unanimous vote.
 This plan in brief is that the bank $ depositors leave their money in the bank, taking in lieu thereof time cer- tificates which shall be payable as follows:
 One-fift in F months, one fifth in I3 months, one-fifth in IA months. one fifth in 15 months and one-f fifth in Is months. While this is the pro gram which is to be put into effect, 1t is believed that the certificates may be cashed within a much less time than that stipulated, and that the hardships entailed by adopting the plan will be compensated by the fact full payment will be made to the depositors and the bank placed upon a sound fOoting-

Endorse Program

Following the adoption of the plan and a promise, made by the members in a rising vote, to give the progna m every support, the conduct of the of ficers of the bank was endorsed and their efforts for a complete readjust- ment praised.
 The meeting was called to order by the Rev. c. M Rock, who offered a short prayer after H. B. Wilkinson had been appointed chairman. Paul Hobby was elected secretary, and then H. J. McClung. president of the Phoenix National bank, made a short address in which he assured the de positors that the Phoenix Clearing House association was thoroughly in sympathy with their efforts to re- open the bank.
 R. E. L. Shepherd, county attorney followed with a short talk in which he voiced the sentiment that the ap pointment of a receiver and an ap- portionment of the banks assets was not wanted nor needed by the de- positors of the bank. He urged ev- eryone present to sign the agreement and to support the plan of readjust- ment-

Declares Bank Sound

George l.. Young was then intro duced and also urged the depositors to support the proposed plan, de- claring that he intended to patronize the bank, which he said was as sound as the best s20 gold piece the govern ment ever minted, and that he looked for it to become a greater force in the community in the future than it had ever been in the past
 George Stoneman and Mrs Fore man also spoke, after which the Rev. MT. Rock closed the meeting by re- questing the depositors to repeat with him the following:
 We are going to stand by and sup port the Five Points bank-open ii up and stand by it.''
 Chairman Wilkinson has appointed a committee to work with the state bank examiner with a view to the immediate reopening of the bank.
 Those who have not signed the agreement which was accepted by the depositors yesterday may do so at the Tolleson- Samue1s Land company s office in the Heard building. where the depositors of the Citizens State bank will maintain offices also.

New Industry on the Pacific Coas.
Promises Big Profits for Its
Promoters.

Victoria.-With the supply Of raw
material unlimited, an industry new
to this country is fourishing at Parker
island, between Galiano and Mayne
island, on the Calf of Georgia. 1t is
the business of catching sharks, and a
weeks catch at the beginning of May
ran to 50, with an average weight
OF more than ton each. Nelson Mac
Donald OF this city, who operated the
first sharkcatching machinery on the
island, declares there will never be a
shortage, as there are millions in the
waters surrounding the island.
in fact, the farther north you go
the more sharks you will find, and
from here 10 Alaska are their feed
ing grounds Mr.. Macdonald said.
Taking them from the bottom of
the sea is automatic. Norway has
hundreds of such Industries. The only
real hook for catching them, which
works on a swivel comes from there
and the so-caled cod liver oil. which
nvades the markets of the world, is
really shark liver oil, manufactured
in Norway
Nothing is wasted in a shark plant.
There is no finer fish meat than that
made from the bodies of sharks. AS
fertilizer il is superior to dogfish
The head of the shark is full of glue
of highly valuable quality, and the
fins are a much priced Chinese food
delicacy, orientals here paying as
much as $50 pound for it.
The liver content runs from 60 to 40
per cent Of finest oil of which about
10 per cent is glycerin. Sharks
teeth are in demand in many parts
of the world, and fetch high price

What bones there are and they are
few. 60 into the fertilizer part of the
industry.
The greatest interest in this new
industry is being manifested in the
manufacture Of hides. Several Amer-
can companies have been formed, and
much research work is being done at
present. The shark hides run from
an inch in thickness to the consist
ency of paper in the baby shark. In
Seattle they are manufacturing hip
boots from shark hides and they are
declared to be completely waterprnGf

CLOUDS ARE EARTH'S VEIL
If Seen From the Moon They Would
Appear as Mere Film Separating
the Earth.

The layer of cloud covering the
earth is relatively very thin. If, for
example, we could examine the earth
from the moon we would doubtless
see veil of cloud covering little
more than half the surface. At that
distance the clouds would have no
texture, the earth would appear
swathed in an irregular sheet Of
formless vapor. through which, from
time to time, the land and water areas
could he seen.
The cloud cover Of the earth is most
attenuated; it may be compared to a
film, for it is supposed to be less than
one-eight-hundredth Of the earth's d.
ameter in vertical thickness.
The thinness Of the earth's atmOs-
phere may be more clearly compre-
hended if we realize that the relative
thickness of the cloud layer on an
eight-inch terrestrial globe would be
about one-hundredth Of an inch. Yet
it is in this thin belt that clouds form.
SO that it is seen our weather is pro-
duced within limited confines.-The

came necessary. Then he waited. Soon
the man stepped out on the trail.
Even at the distance of one hundred
yards, Dan had no difficulty whatever
in recognizing him. He could not
mistake this tall, dark form, the soiled,
slouchy clothes, the rough hair, the
intent, dark features. 1t was man
about his own age, his own height,
but weighing fully twenty pounds
more, and the dark, narrow eyes could
belong to no one but Bert Cranston.
He carried his rifle loosely in his arms.
He stopped at the forks in the trail
and looked carefully in all directions
Dan had every reason to think that
Cranston would see him at first glance
Only one clump of thicket sheltered
him. But because Dan had learned
the lesson of standing still, because
his olive-drab sporting clothes blended
softly with the cOlOred leaves, Grams
ton did not detect him. He turned
and strobe on down the trail.
He didn't move quite like man
with innocent purposes. There was
something stealthy, something sinister
in his stride, and the way he kept
such a sharp lookout in all directions.
Yet he never glanced to the trail for
deer tracks, as he would have done
had he been hunting. Without even
waiting to mediate on the matter,
Dan started to shadow him.
/ Before one hundred yards had been
traversed, he could better understand
the Joy the cougar takes in his hunt
ing. 1t was the same process-a eau
tious, silent advance in the trail of
prey. He had to walk with the same
caution, he had to take advantage Of
the thickets. He began to feel a curl
Gus excitement.
Cranston seemed to be moving more
carefully now, examining the brush
along the trail. Now and then he
glanced mp ut the tree tops. And oil
at once he stopped and knelt in the
dry shrubbery.
