The Season Of Shad

To TIE Editor Of the ErcninD Public Ledger:
Sir-when is the period for shad and III
what sections are the fish found generally?
w. w. JORDAN.
Philadelphia. March 10, 1921.
The movement OF shad schools begins In
the southern districts first and progress
northward tho season advances. In.
chief run in the Potomac occurs in April, in
the Susdueha ma and Delaware in April and
May and in the kennebec in May and June.
The males predominate during the early
part Of the season, and during the latter
the females or roe Bhad. The eggs are de-
posted anywhere nbove brackish water, at
the mouth OF creeks or at the head OF
rivers. After the spawning the shad whicu
are lean and starved. begin to move sea-
ward. The young remain in the rivers much
longer. not finally going to sea until the fall.
They remain at sea for three or four years
until they mature and then begin. like the
others, to ascend the streams at the spawn
ing season. A peculiar characteristic is
that they invariably ascend the same
streams in which they themselves were
proDagated,

Questions Ans,Uered
Is Violin Valuable?

To the Editor Of tho Evening Public Ledoer:
sir-Is there any special value to q violin
having the inscription. 'Antonius Stradi-
varius Cremonensis," "Faciebst Ammo 1928"
printed on the inside and a label pasted
below 1t with the words Made in Ger
many" J. NJ
Philadelphia. March 1G 1921.
This Is evidently not a genuine Stradi-
varius violin II It contains the label
Made In Germany" for the violins were
made In Italy, mainly at Cremons, in the
northern part OF that country. The only
way to ascertain IL a violin labeled Stradi.
Harius is genuine is to put It into the hands
OF an expert to examine IT,

finally the choice fell upon Carl Pohlig'
who took up his duties here the follow

The choice Of Mr.. Pohlig was made
upon the separate recommendations OF

in different cities, and they were
unanimously of the opinion that Mr.
Pohlig was the best.eQuipped man IN

consideration of the many candidates for
the position whom he interviewed, came
to the same conclusion and Mr.. PohliG

An attempt was made to obtain a re-
lease from these troublesome contracts
but II failed. as none of the European
organizations were willing to part with
their conductor. The next move was to
obtain u leave of absence for two or
three years preferably the latter. In
order 10 let Mr.. Mengelberg come TO
Philadelphia. but this. too. was unsuc-
Cess.ul. ON the recommendation Of
Mengelberg, Mr.. Davis then went to Rot

tons also came to naught. This was the
closest that William Mengelberg came

GRAIN PRICES HIGHER.

Chicago, March If no rains fall
over the winter wheat states in the
next day or two, traders look for an
advance in prices--if good rains fall,
a decline is anticipated
Corn traders are not expecting any
decided change either way.
Oats seem likely to follow the trend
of other grains.
The week just closed witnessed
stronger and higher markets for five
days. with setback on the kst.
Closing prices, compared with week
ago, showed wheat up 3@5l1ac. March

Just now the wheat trade is ner-
vous. The local short interest has
been increased. The professionals
held less wheat at the close Saturdey
than for several days, while commits
sion houses were estimated as having
increased their holdings.
The movement of corn for the coua
try is the heaviest in rscentAyeers
with the exception of 1918. Chicago
received 5,385,000, bushels last week,
