INTERNATIONAL FISHERIES COM MISSION LAYS PLANS PRE-
 SERVE VALUABLE WORK

Plans to continue the scientific study of the life history of the North Pacific halibut, begun two years ago to form the basis of permanent regula- tions for the preservation of an i'm mensely valuable fishing, were laid by the International Fisheries Com mission, holding it's quarterly meeting in Seattle recently.
 The commission was created under the halibut treaty between the United States and Canada, ratified about three years ago, and is composed of two representatives from each of the two participating countries.
 J. F. Babcock of Victoria, B. o., provincial commissioner of fisheries for British Columbia, is chairman of the commission The other Canadian member is w A. Found of Ottawa, Dominion commissioner of fisheries. The American members are Henry O'Malley of Washington, D. C., United States commissioner of fisheries, and Miller Freeman of Seattle, publisher of Tbo nooifo ETcboryoon
 HaIibut Tagged
 At the meeting of the commission held in the Seattle offices of the United States Fisheries Commission in the L. c. Smith building, reports were received on the past seasons work from Dr. W. F. Thompson, who during the last two years has direct ed the scientific branch of the study of the halibut's life history, and from those who have worked in oth- CT branches. Dr. Thompson has made the College of Fisheries at the University of Washington the head quarters of his investigation.
 An interesting feature of this work has been the tagging of hundreds of halibut caught and released on the

Fishermen have been encouraged to cooperate in this work by the payment of sl for every tagged fish recaptured and delivered to the agents of the com mission
 investigation Continued
 This investigation work will be continued another year, when the commission will be prepared to draft permanent regulation for the pro- lection of the fish.
 Immediately after the commission came into being closed season Of ninety days, from September 15 to February Is, was established and has been strictly observed on both sides of the line with the cooperation of those engaged in the fishery. This closed season covers the major part of the spawning season of the hail. but.
 On the results of the completed sci entifc investigation will depend whether this closed season will be continued, or will be changed in re spect to length or time, or will be suppanted by a closed areas" sys- tenn.

for
Buyers

For more than quarter of century the
Sommers store has pioneered the way to
greater values and more liberal credit terms in
the city and state. Perhaps that is one reason
why it is today Indiana's greatest retail furni-
ture establishment.
But in spite of the many bargain events fea-
tured by our store in seasons past, never have
we offered more attractive bargain-valueS than
those featured at this time.
Every one of our eleven floors has seen
prices pared to the bone, every room in your
home can profit by these economies. If
you expect to buy furniture, stoves or rugs
soon it will pay you to anticipate your needs.
Buy now and save money.

A y unusually interesting exhibition
"A is that of early English sporting
prints, now on view at Gordon Dun
thorne's. 1905 Connecticut avenue.
AS Ralph Nevill, in Old Sporting
Prints, has said, year by year these
prints are being accorded larger
measure of public appreciation.
To give some idea of the current
values of such prints it may be men
toned that single examples bring 500
and upward, whereas some sets are
quoted at over $4,000. But this is not
high when it Is remembered that they
We're produced over a hundred years
ago and cannot be duplicated today.
To again quote Mr.. Nevill: England
at the end of the eighteenth and be
ginning of the nineteenth centuries
was a sporting country in a different
sense from today The ma jority of
hunting men, for instance. We're
squires, who lived on their estates, a

Hunting, with them. amounted occa-
Sionally to sort of religion. and was
not merely q paStime INDUCED in for
purposes OF relaxation and health. A
full-blooded jolly lot, not few of them
hardly visited London at all, being
well content to live and die amidst
the rural surroundings which they
loved so well. II Is, therefore,
but natural that old sporting prints,
many Of which are imbued with a
spirit of vivacity and life. constitute
a source of real attraction to those In
terested in more individualistic past.
For from these prints can be recon
stituted the travelling of past days.

The Italian modernists have very gen.

works may not be lovely. they do
demonstrate the seriousness of the
painters and the vigor of the move

exhibition that some of the more ex-

coming to a much more definite and
conventional form Of expression, yet
one which possesses distinct virility.
