FRESH-WATER EEL MYSTERY

For a long time scientific men have
been trying to learn where fresh
water cells are born. II is known that
those of lakes and rivers of Europe
after years Of immaturity and appar-
emily without reproduction find their
way to the sea and disappear Lately
1t has been determined that the lepto-
cephalus of the deep sea is a larval
form of the fresh-water cell speci-
mems less than one-third of an inch
in length have been found at depth
of 1000 fathoms off the Azores. In
vestigators have traced the develop
ment of these tiny creatures into
"elevers"- young cells. Elevers
carried to the coast by ocean currents.
ascend the rivers in great numbers
in the spring. No one has ever found
a spawning eel. 1t is believed there
fore that all cells are Matched in the
sea.

PRESIDENT ASKS
AID FOR chinese
Wilson Calls On Kentuckians
to Save 10000, 1000 From
Starvation
Ely. MULLINS is CHAIRMAN

Forty million Chinese face starva-
ton and although relief be sent imme.
diately, many millions will die before
1t can arrive. This is the summary of
President Wilson's proclamation ask
ing the Nation to help the Chinese and
which appeal the Rey. DR.. L. Y. Null
Inns, president of the Southern Baptist
Theological Seminary, Louisville, KY,
answered by accepting the chairman
ship for Kentucky of the China Fam
inc Fund.
DIR. Mullins In making public the
Presidents proclamation, said no CAM
paign, in the sense of personally so
hclted canvass, would be held, but be-
ginning early in February the people
Of Kentucky would he asked to send
voluntary contributions to the State
Headquarters in Louisville.
President Wilson'S proclamation fol
lows:
"A famine, alarming in its proper
tons, today holds in its grip several
important provinces in China. The
crop failure is complete, and the pres
ent distress, which is great, is likely,
before winter has run its course, to be-
come appalling. In fact, our dlplo-
matte and consular agencies in China,
inform me that the loss resulting from
death in distressing form may run into
millions of souls. 1t is certain that the
local Government and established
agencies of relief are unable to cope
with the magnitude of the disaster
which faces them.
"Under the circumstances, relief to
be effective should be granted quickly.
Once more an opportunity is offered
to the American people to show that
prompt and generous response with
which they have invariably met the
call Of their brother nations in dis
trees.
"The case of China, regard as es-
pecially worthy Of the earnest atten-
ton of our citizens. To an unusual de-
gree the Chinese people look to us for
counsel and for effective friendship.
Our churches, through their religious
and medical missionaries, their
schools and colleges and our phi
lanthropic foundations have rendered
China an incalculable benefit, which
her people recognize with gratlture and
devotion to the United States. There
fore not only In the name Of humanity
but In that of friendliness which we
feel for great people in distress, 1
venture to ask our citizens shall, even
though the task of giving is not today
a light one, respond as they. can to this
distant but appealing cry for help"
President Wilson in sending his proc
lamation to DR.. Mullins and through
hm to be made public, called on the
seminary president to take charge Of
the campaign In Kentucky.
Norman ii. Davis, Under Secretary
of State, is honorary treasurer, and
Vernon Munroe is treasurer for the
national campaign. Joseph Burge, of
the Peaslee Gaulbert Company. Is
treasurer for Kentucky.

Artillery Scores World Record In Air
Directed Tests At San
Francisco.

San Francisco, Feb. Big gun
coast defenses of San Francisco re-
Gently took world leadership when,
official service reports said, for the
first time in history, twelve-inch rifles
were fired entirely by directions from
the air. Experiments have been con-
Quoted since last April on co-opera-
tion between the army air service
balloons and the various coast artil-
lery and heavy artillery posts along
the Pacific Coast.
The Fourteenth and Twenty-fourth
Balloon companies sent here from
Fort Omaha. Nebraska, conducted
these experiments. So far as known,
according to official reports. the only
previous experiments of this kind,
undertaken in 1919 at Sandy Hook,
resulted in failure Special instru-
ments were devised in the Pacific
Coast experiments, which finally re-
suited in success.
Battery Mendell, one OF san Fran
cisco's big coast defense disappear
ing rifle batteries, claims the honor
of the first battery funct.oning &C
curately from aerial control. Twen-
ty-two shots at a pyramidical target,
moving at a range of $4,000 yards,
included five direct ship" hits.
This demonstrated that fog or haze
making low visibility hereafter will
not cripple San Francisco's coast de-
lenses. Balloons at an altitude of
Is 900 to 10000 feet get over the
fog, locate the enemy object at sea,
and direct the fog-hidden battery's
deadly work against the attacker.

The Smoot amendment drew fire
from all sides. Senator Smith, DEM

Protesting generally against such

Senator Smoot, who does not smoke
and Chairman Warren, of the Com
mittee which brought in the amend
ment and who is a smoker, defend
ed the amendment. Both said IL was
designed to prevent fires in govern
ment buildings. Mr.. Smoot also
said it would stop government clerks
from wasting their time.
Senator Shields, Democrat, Ten
nessee, suggested that the amendment
should apply to the entire District of
Columbia. He said smoking in any
building might start a fire which
would endanger government buildings
and their records.
Senator Robinson, who does not
smoke, drew verbal pictures of the
President and his dinner guests being
required to leave the White Hous to
enjoy their cigars or cigarettes.

Hunting Hog Has Collapsed.
Natchez, Miss, Feb. 5.-The ia
nous bird-hunting hog owned by
Tucker Gibson. widely known Louis
lana huntsman, has suffered merry
GUS prostration," and is in a serious
condition, according to its owner,
who recently brought the hog here
from Louisiana to train for the
Springfield trials.
According to Mr.. Gibson, after the
field trials in which he felt assured
his porcine phenomenon would make
good in competition with the dogs en-
tered, he had intended exhibiting the
hog in vaudeville, and with this end
in view had obtained a number of
birds to be employed in the act.
Mr.. Gibson left home for several
days, leaving the birds in cage. On
his return he found the porker had
located the birds and had been
pointing" them continuously for 8
days and nights.
The intense mental strain, togeth-
er with the fact that the hog had not
eaten during that time, he said,
brought on general collapse"

CITIZEN SOLDIERS

Washington. - Secretary of War
Weeks has called the attention Of
army officials to the new army reor-
ganization law passed June 4, last
year He says it marks an epoch in
military legislation in that it makes
the reserve officers training camps
and citizens training camps essential
parts of the military system.
"An examination of the statute
shows he says, that the new law
is based on the idea that in the fu
ture, as in the past, great wars are
to be fought in the main by armies
composed of citizen soldiers Temporal
rily drawn into military service"
Camps for citizens training and
officers training camps are being es-
tablished. Officers of the regular
army, whose commands are out Of
commission because of a reduction of
the army, are assigned as instruct
ors to these camps

The union label on merchandise is
a guarantee that the article is made
under sanitary conditions, by organ
lied employees who are trying to es-
tablish the highest standards in their
employment; the house card and but
ton are evidence that the establish,
ment and its employees are fair to the
movement to make better conditions
possible for all working people.
You can't divorce the labor move
ment from the union label. Where
unions exist, there must be an in
creasing demand for the union label,

ject demanding these and you will be

CO-OPS WILL MEET
Strong Movement to Unity
Producers

East st. Louis, Ill.--Offcers of the
central states cooperative wholesale
society have issued a call for the third
annual delegate and shareholders
convention, to convent in this city
Sunday, September 11th
Many trade unionists are associat-
ed with the coop. wholesale society
It's president is John H. Walker, pres
ident of the Illinois State Federation
of Labor. Its purpose is to supply
goods to the large number of retail
coop. stores that are operating on
the Rochdale plan, especially in the
central states. The wholesale society
has large warehouse and Offices in
this city.
Every stockholder in the society is
urged to attend the convention as a
delegate, and every trade union and
coop. society is urged to be repre-
sented. One of the questions to be
discussed will be the erection of flour
and cereal mills, that these products
can be union made.
"As cooperative production devel-
ops" says the convention call, "it
means a strong helpful influence in
enabling labor to compel settlement
of their relationship between them
and their employees on just basis
1t will serve as a strong second line
trench of defense in the event of an
industrial conflict. As cooperative
financing develops, it means transfer
ring the power and influence of money
from the side of the exploiter to that
of the worker"
The convention will also discuss
plans to reduce the number of middle
men and how trade unionists and
farmers can be brought into closer
contact with the coop movement.
