A CITIZENS CONFERENCE
 TO HIATT STRIKE

It would be in the nature of a miracle If the mine workers and citizens conference at Hazclton, Pa, today resulted in action that would prevent the strike in the an- thrscite coal fields from beginning on September 1. Citizens living in the communities depending upon the anthracite industry for their prosperity are justified in being alarmed at the prospect, for a pro- tracted strike will mean shut down in business as well as a shut down In the mines. To the country at large the strike will bring in- conveniences at first, then increas- ing hardships; to the people living in the anthracite mining zone the strike will bring hardships from the beginning. The strikers will lose wages, the operators the productive incoNe of their mines, and the citi- zefs in that region-every man, woman and child-will feel the pinch of slackencd trade.
 Yet there is every possibility that no definite result will he accom- plished in the last minute effort to avoid the approaching calamity. The situation is one of those dead locks" upon which both sides in the c2al industry seem to thrive -- a shot in the arm" that stabilizes nrc,k ever so often, permits the country 10 catch up with and pass he supply of coal, and spells a prried of prosperity later which is expected to Counterbalance the losses of the strike; the miners hope for more wages and the oper- ators hope for moro profits on top of the increased wages, or more profits anyhow while the artificial shortage exists. Tho mute 'and de- fenselcss public, Of course can shift for itself
 Congress is not in session and the President has let it be known that he will follow d hands off policy at least until the people feel the pinch.
 The only outside effort being made to prey cnt Inc strike is regis tered hy thc citizens in inc anthra- cite region, and they assurcdly de- serve success despite the slight chance appearing 10 exist for at tanine it.

 History By Dr Walter E. Traprock
Additions to Our Acouarium

huuitionS tO Our hCVudTilnl
 Great news! The Becbe expedi- tion wh ic h recently returned, brought back large number of deep sea Curios caught especially for tho Traprock museum. These are being sorted and classified as rapidly as possible.
 A flock of flying fish escaped and were last seen heading south. have despatched Prof. Zupke, oLcial fish catcher, with an airplane, equipped with butterfly nets, and expect to have them all back with in a week. Our electric eels have caused us a lot of trouble. They are much slipperier than the ordinary fried eel and, being highly charged with electricity shocked our eel handlers almost to death. l am waiting for a consignment of non- skid, rubber gloves before proceed ing with their installation.
 Our aquarium is now entirely lighted by the fish themselves, the light being supplied by the lumin- ous dongo, cross between the cleo tric eel, or "ray" and the sea trout. The spots on the trout shine so brightly that we have to isolate them after 10 p. m,, as they keep the other fish awake. The dongos get lit up every night, which is natural considering their wet" en- vironment. The electric ray joins them in their reVels and can be heard far into the night, emitting it's peculiar call, "ray, ray, ray" from which 1t derives it's name.
 Our representative, on the Arc turus, struck a rich vein of gold fish in a doep pit on the sea floor which he calls the bowl" This bowl was full of gold fish, none weighing less than two pounds and assayng s29.00 to the ton. Large quantities of these fish are now in our shelter. When they are re- duced 10 q molten mass the smelts are removed from the shelter, pure gold fish remaining. In tho strainer, or filter, we have found hundreds of huge gefllte fish, also valuable by-product.
 We have, also, tremendous Tyre fish which l have every reason to suppose is tho original fish that got away" His size is proof of this added to which is the fact that he never moves, but simply lies, all day long.

RHODE ISLANDS DENSITY
 OF POPULATION

The final census figures for Rhode Island have been announced and show population of 6972Go, a gain of about 1000 over the "prc- liminary figures" published last July. This total does not look very impressive for an "cntire state" and it is only when one realizes that the sta 0 Is the smallest in the union that It's density can be ap- preciated, The density of population remains the highest in the union more than 666 to the square mile, this based on the 1920 census.
 Nevada, with 2 persons to the square mile, would have popula- ton of 72,059,6S6 were its popua- tion as dense as h at of Rhode Island; and Texas, with 17,S per sons to the square mile, would have a population of 14S,51I37S If 1t had the Rhode Island density.
 If Connecticut had the same density of population as Rhode Island there would be 2,72S,12O people within it's borders.
 The city of Newport in Rhode Island has been losing population steadily, it now having 27,757 against So,255 in 1920. The dimin- ished personnel at the naval train ing and torpedo station only partly account for the decrease. Woonsocket also has not increased as much as had been anticipated. But Rhode Island, with its present density of population, should not worry over lack of further increase. Of all states 1t ought to feel it has an ample sufliciency of people.

 Q. How can bronze paint spots be removed from oil paintings?
 A. Try lightly rubbing the spots with soft cloth saturated with amyl acetate. alcohol. tufpentlne, or q mixture of acetone, two parts, and benzol, one part. The rubbing should be light and neatly done, care be- ing taken not to allow these ma tcrlals to rub on the oil painting. Possibly turpentinc would be the safest to use. The oil painting itself may be cleaned by wringing out a soft cloth in lukewarm water con- taining small amount of CTstile soap and then washing q small sec tion at time, thoroughly drying each section by rubbing with q piece of old silk.
