every interest in the country is
dependent, directly or indirectly,
particularly farm machinery and
the fertilizer industries.
1.-THE postwar world has de-
veloped an absolute obsession-a
fear of production" says the bull,
Ietin. For the past century and
half, power machinery and a con-
slant succession of mechanical in
ventions have been bringing lux.
uries to the masses of men I'M
known to the kings of earlier gen.
erations. Consumption has kept
pace with production. Our 100,-
000, 900 people consume vastly more
than the 400,0O0,0O0 people of China
because they produce more, and
so can afford to consume more.
And yet we fear reviving produc-
ton in Europe, and fear to let
Europe send us goods to pay her
debts to us.
1.-The foregoing is all argument
for moderate protective tariffs, not
for free trade" concludes the
writer. THE most urgent consid-
erations here advanced We're not
applicable before the war, when the
world was in balance, when we
were a debtor country, and when
industry. both at home and abroad,
was adjusted to existing tariff

IRE WORMS ARE
REGULAR AS
CLOCK
Appear on Sea at Exactly
Fifty-seven Minutes
After Sunset
By ROBERT 5. THORNBURG

Fireworks. queer. fish-Iike anil
mails. freQuenting the Atlantic
Ocean near the Bermudas. are
veritabIe chronometers, according
to Doctor p. s. Galtsoff, of the
United States Bureau Of Fisheries,
who has just returned from a sur
vey Of fisheries In those waters.
Discussing the habits of the fire.
worm, Galtsoff said:
''The most interesting phenome-
non which we have observed is the
appearance on the surface Of the
water OF the anneIid odontosyllis, or
fireworm.
'.The animals appear with the
surprising regularity and accuracy
of good chronometer. Exactly at
fifty-seven minutes after sunset one
may see the bright, moving spots
on the surface Of the sea.
They are about one inch long,
and the females and the males are
distinguishabIe. They swim in cir
cIes, first turning twice to the
right and then twice to the left.
1.-THE females excrete substance
that remains phosphorescent for
one or two minutes. The males are
brightly phosphorescent, but they
do not excrete any 1uminescent
matter; they. are positively photo
tropic and easily attracted by flash
lights.
''The dancing lasts only for
twenty minutes and always occurs
the first day after the full moon
and continues for from ten days to
a fortnight.
sit is interesting to note that the
appearance Of the fireworks has no
relation to the tide stage; they APP
pear at flood as we'll as ebb tide,
but always fifty-seven minutes af-
ter sunset. The phenomenon has no
relation to the fisheries problem,
but it is of great interest to every
biologist"
It appears that the female fire
worms are dangerous Vamps. The
male, having a penchant for the
bright lights, is attracted by the
luminous excreta Of the female and
is. apparently, without power to re-
sist it.
Experts observed that the period
of sunset has a queer influence on
all nature. Night-"the time for
wooing, oh'-is ushered in by the
mystic twilight, which changes the
nature of both the animate and the
inanimate.
1t was pointed out that the sun
set period has startling effect on
radio waves, a most pronounced
tendency toward fading being no.
t!ceable at that time of the day, as
well as an increased strength Of
waves.

A few of the high.priced stocks
jumped impressively at the opening
OF the market, but they were Of
fered quite literally in the first
hour, and the trend of prices was
downward. Mack Trucks and White
Motors continued to slide down the
hill, the former losing about
z to 95A Cast Iron Pipe was off
31k points to It's. General Electric
ard Dupont were firm.
The copper and oil stocks moved
in opposite directions, copper shares
benefitting from the firm market
for the red metal, which Is. now
quoted at is cents a pound, the
highest price Of the year to date.

price levels and continued to move
downward, though selling pressure

resumed in international Nickel with
an advance in its price to record
high above 35.

above 81 in active trading.

ments in industrial and financial
