SALMON SEASON
 OPENS D!SNALLY
Few Fish iD PeUObsCot and
 Heavy Ice Protects Them

Bangor, Me, April CP - The salmon season in the Pcnobscot opens today but 1t doesn't mean much to anxious fishermen. There is hardly enough open water in the Bangor pool to allow q catch. and the river is so choked with ice that it is doubtful if many fish have come up from the sea.
 The Penobscot, one Of the last re- naining havens Of the salmon, once tecned with it. Back in the early part of the nineteenth century, all New England rivers were filled with it but, gradually, the increasing pollution of the water as commerce advanced left only Maine streams. Finally the Kennebec, Androscoggin, St. Croix and the Penobsco. were the principal places of refuge for the fish returning annually 10 their spawning beds.
 Now the Penobscot and St Croix alone remain. and, of the two. the former is known internationally for the size of its fish, The first fish Of the season usually commands $2 q pound, and is much sought, As the catch improves, the price drops off, until the June flood runs when quo tations frequently range as low as 5 cents

LONG WAVE SAID
 ID BE THE BEST
LatoQr, French Radio Wizard,
 for Low FreqQencieS

New York, April l--In the opin- lon of pr. Marius (. A, Latour, emi- nent French electro physicist and ra- dio inventor. high powered long wave stations arc necessary for successful trans oceanic and trans-continental reception, and he holds to the theory. that short waves are uncertain.
 The two-way radiophone tests be- tween England and America, con- ductsd with waves upwards Of 5000 meters in length are regarded by pr, Latour as furnishing ample evidence in substantation of his belief in tho efficacy of long waves for transmits sion over very long distances.
 There seems to me no doubt that VIC will have regular transatlantic telephonic service in comparatively short time Dr. Latour stated, in discussion on broadcast!ng devel- opment. Instead of the low power ed short wave with which most eX- perimenters are nov working, l feel that the high-powered long wave station will be adopted ultimately. The short wave is very sensitive 10 atmospheric conditions and 1t is marked by considerable fading"
 pr. Latour declared that the Jan uary tranSoceanic broadcast experi- ments should direct further study toward ths use 0. longer waves. These are his views:
 "The tests to me proved the value Of long waves and high power. Few people tn America heard Daventry, which transmits on 1,S50 meters. be- cause American broadcast receivers are tuned to lower wave bands. That Is why more people do not hear Eff fel tower and Radio-Parie.
 The best-known stations In Eu- rope use the higher wave lengths, Tn addition to Daventry and the French stations mentioned they in- clude Konigwusterhausen. Moscow and Radio-Visnna, operating on 1000 to 4,o00 meters"
 Dr Latour is soon returning to France. but will bs back in the United States this fall 10 take care of his patent interests. He has ac- cepted an invitation to be q gur st of honor at the opening of the Radio Worlds Fair in New Madiscr Square Garden, New York city or Sept. I3.

tor Albion during this season. include
Elda Vettori and Ulysses Lappas, who
made their debuts here in La Tosca
and Ivan IvantZoff. Feodor Chaliapin,
who will come here in Don Carlos on
April 8, will be another who is free
lance from an operate standpoint.
These singers, it Is hoped. will be
the nucleus about which the national
opera plan will center.
The plan of MIR. Albion, which has
had much influential backing, is two
fold. 1t proposes first a string of local
companies, such as the Washington,
which will prepare the chorus work in
the various operas to be sung during
a season. For the principals, the Ma
tional Opera Co. will engage singers
for a season, sending them out to each
OF the smaller companies as its turn
comes. Scenery and costumes will be
supplied from the stocks Of the Ma
tional Association. In this way. 1t is
hoped, opera may be produced at a
minimum cost because OF the great
reduction In overhead in sending a
large orchestra and chorus with the
principals.
The second step in the plan is the
National Academy Of Opera, for the
training Of young students In operate
work. The academy was establish
ed last Fall at the time of the an
nouncement Of a gift Of $4,000 by
Arthur Jordan for the work. Moses
Zlatin, a former professor of grand
opera in the Moscow Conservatory
was brought by Mr.. Albion here for
the purpose of acting as director Of
the academy.
1t IS believed by the hackers of
the Washington Opera Company that
the steady progress made In the past
two or three years warrants the COM
pany in standing upon its own feet.
The all-American cast in Samson
and Delilah" will mark the first alb
solutely independent effort.
