The movement referred to crystal
lied in the formation of the Wash
ington Accredited Hatcheries and
Breeders Association" in Seattle in
September.
This organization was first started
at statewide campaign more than
Is months ago. and owing to differ

Bellingham was chosen president;
E. r. Wells, Prosser, vice-president,
and p. S. Dickey, Puyallup, secre-
tary and treasurer. The officers
above named, together with Profess
sor Buchanan, poultry specialist, and
Jay Todd of Seattle, constitute the
board of directors Many differences
of opinion and some matters Of vital
concern had to be sacrificed by al
most everyone present in order to
bring harmony and workable and
satisfactory agreement as to rules
and regulations under which this or
ganization should work. But as the
final organization was completed, all
unanimous in their opinion that the
benefits to be derived from this or
ganization would much more than
offset financial cost and the sacrifice
Of their own pet ideas. 1t would
also compensate for the inconven-
fence of being under supervision. The
! greatest direct benefit will be to the
purchaser of chicks and Matching
eggs, but the hatcheries and breed
ers will also benefit through larger
| volume Of business and much less
suspicious attitude on the part of the
buyers. The industry generally will
be immensely benefited through the
cooperative feature and It's conse-
the buyers of chicks and eggs and
those who produce them. All buyers
of eggs and chicks will now have not
only the personal integrity and rep.
utation Of the breeders on which to
rely, but will have the knowledge
that the stock has been carefully in
spected and found to be OF good
breeding and entirely free from dis
ease.
II Washington poultrymen will CO.
operate with the Accredited Hatch
cries and Breeders Association and
purchase their chicks from one Of
its members they will be assured Of
getting really Grstclass commercial
stock and the added advantage Of
keeping the money at home. 1t is
estimated that there are from $780,
900 to 100000 going out Of the state
Of Washington annually for chicks
and breeding stock, for which we re-
ceive in return chicks and eggs OF
inferior quality to that which may be
obtained at home.
Very few weak or poor chicks are
turned out by an established hatch
cry, and one Of the chief objects OF
the Washington Accredited Hatcher
les and Breeders Association will be
to safeguard the poultrymen's inter.
est and to absolutely keep the stand
ard Of baby chick production up to
the highest degree.

Aeroplanes May Be Used to Disarm
Enemy With Sleeping
Fumes

Whole armies put to sleep and
taken prisoner in gas warfare is by
no means an impossibility 20 years
hence, Colonel Raymond F. Bacon,
chief Of the technical division of the
Chemical Warfare Service, A. e. F.,
says in a description of the POSSIBLE
tiles of the future art of war made
public by the American Chemical So
ciety.
81 can easily imagine" says Colonel
Bacon, the official communicate Of
the Battle of Patagonia quarter OF
a century from now, which would
read as follows:
Enemy Sleeps
Last night at 10 o'clock our
aeroplanes sprayed on the enemy's
position a new gas, soporite. This
gas has the effect of putting man
to sleep for six hours. At A. NJ
our troops advanced into the sections
held by the enemy, disarmed the
sleeping enemy, and the whole enemy
army facing this sector is now being
sent to the rear as prisoners. The
number of guns and other equip
ment captured is enormous. We
suffered no casualties. Signed -,
General in Command
Il realize that this sounds like a
fairy tale rather than statement
made with serious purpose, but it
is not beyond the possibility. In
fact, it is in line with the trend of
research in this field"
The $2,OOO,OOO spent on the re
search organization did more toward
winning the war, Colonel Bacon as
serts, than any other $200,000,000
spent in other ways. One of the
greatest lessons of the war has so
far gone almost UNDECIDED, according
to Colonel Bacon, who continues:
"This lesson was that large scale
research can solve almost any prob
lem We had in Washington a re-
search organization in which were
gathered many of the best brains of
the country. That research organiza
tion was able to solve every problem
put up to it by those in command Of

We publish this week on page 2
a reply to II. Fremont Maddocks'
letter on the 4S-hour law, written by
Judge Benjamin f. Cleaves, secre-
tary of the Associated Industries of
Maine Judge Cleaves presents some
forceful arguments why the 4S-hour
law should not be saddled upon
Maine at this time. In another letter
replying to Mr.. Maddocks, and adj
dressed especially to The American,
which we regret was received too late
for publication i'll full, he says:
The whole question is not of hu-
mainly 1t is only part of it, And it
is a question if it is more humane for
the people to work as they are work
ing than to run the risk of no work at
all. as surely is a risk if we cut hours
further in our two great industries

Mr.. Maddotks wants to see a uni
versa 4S-hour week. Let him begin
with the south and bring the South to
ffty-four hours for beginning.
Then We can both begin to talk about
a 4S-hour week. They work often for

The Money Craze,

Mankind is money-mad OBJ
sessed with an insane desire
for things and the pleasures that
things can bring, The children in
Ruskin's dream contending for the
brass-headed nails are a picture of
men and women in this present day.
''Who has most naiIs?" Il have a
hundred and you have fifty" or q
have thousand and you have two"
or, 'I'll have as many as you before
| leave the house, or | cannot posi-
bly, go home in peace"
For money men are selling health
and happiness, virtue and honor;
they are bartering away their
chances for intellectual and moral
attainment. sowing the seeds of false
pride, jealousy, hatred and in
Justice. And what is the end of it
all? The money-mad come down
to the close of life unsatisfed and
soured, finally at the door of the
tomb, to be stripped of everything
they have accumulated.
What an ideal to dominate a So
called civilized racei When a calm
observer contemplates the material
istic goal of the multitudes of his
fellow men he must be inclined to
think that we are either in the very
early stages of the evolutionary
process or that this planet is indeed
a lunatic asylum. For the accept
ance of the money objective of life
constitutes the denial of the best in
stincts and the highest aspirations
of the human spirit. Unless a man
can see beyond the mere collection
of metal disks to the good that can
be done with his wealth in helping
to further the cause of Christian
civilization, he must be classified as
insane by the tests provided for
mental arrangement.

FOR AUTOMOBLISTS
Why Not a Code of Uniform Hand
Signals?


Why Not a Code of Uniform Hand
Signals?
That question has been frequently
| asked by a vast majority of motor
lists who are trying to conscientiously
respect the motor vehicle laws and
be courteous when driving. Up to
date there are no two states in the
Union using the same code of hand
signals.
Drive over any State highway on
a Sunday or holiday afternoon and
note the number of confusing signals
given by motorists, and you will
soon realize the need of a set of
simple standard signals that will be
uniform in every State
In your drive pay particular at
tention to the manner in which the
operators from the other States sig
nal. Each one has a different way
of telling you that he is to make
right or left turn, a stop, or that he
is going to reverse.
To most motorists these signals
are confusing. They are not ia

ticed in other States and are some

Luminous fishes are one of the
oceans many interesting features.
The mechanism of and reason for a
lighting apparatus has long been a
subject of scientific investigation
Prof e. Newton Harvey, of Prince
ton university, has been studying the
cypridina, a crab-like creature about
an inch long, with oval-shaped body
inclosed in shell much like a clam
1t emits a strong blush light, the
source of which Prof. Harvey has
found to be a relatively large gland
located near the mouth. The light
is in constant process of manufacture
and the supply is never exhausted.
Prof. Harvey tells, also, of another
little fish he discovered in the East
Indies. 1t is about three inches long
and carries a large oval of light be-
meath its eyes. There are two types
One shuts off its light supply when it
desires by means of a screen-like
eyelid which can be made to- cover
the luminous area. In the other type
the light-giving organism is revolv-
ing, so that it's bright side can be
turned inward when the fish desires.
And this reminds me of what I
have read about the large electric
skate, a fish so called because it
gives out strong electric shocks A
captive skate gave birth to several
baby fish, which on the following
morning were found snugIy en-
sconced beneath the mother. While
a wa ho,, oh, h.
handled with impunity. for she gave
out no shock; the moment the young
were taken away she resumed the
emission of powerful shocks. The
obvious conclusion is that the
electric skate can control her shocks
at will, and that she withheld them
on purpose not to injure her young.
why" asks one writer, 'has
Nature been at such pains to equip
so many fishes and crabs with
illuminating systems which they can
turn on and off at will?" Various
answers have been given, none of
them very satisfactory
One explanation is that the light
serves to attract prey within striking
distance, and what lends support to
NllAN IuOOlN 10 JIldI SOIllt llSucS CdIIy
their luminous organs on great
tentacles hanging down in front of
their mouths. Quite contrary to this
is the belief, advanced by some in
yestigators, that the light serves to
brighten away enemies. Still others
say that the luminous spots are
identification marks of a species
On first consideration, the most
plausible explanation would seem to
he that Nature meant the light to be
used as a lantern. We can readily
believe that there are dark and dis
NAL depths of the sea in which an
illumination of any kind would be
highly helpful.
But in many cases the light-giving
organ is so affixed to the sea creature
that it could not possibly be of any
service to it as a lantern-sometime
on the side of the body. In fact,
science has to admit that, thus far,
the reason for luminous organs in
fish has not been entirely explained.
