Pershing Moved to Tears.
Blackjack" Pershing, one of the
few returned Legionnaires who has
previouslX~been in France tho behind
the lines, was moved to the point of
tears by the excellent wines and the
efforts of the French government to
overcome the hostile attitude of the
workers towards the Legion. Declar-
ing that an army 'has a SOUL" Perish
ing stated that the Legionnaires had
become as little children returning to
"the trees, the sky, the very green
fields themselves" of their birth.
Even the rain, which has done so
much to dampen the riotous ardour
of the Legionnaires along the Paris
streets, was a, sign of welcome to the
Legionnaires according to Pershing.
1t remained for Howard P. Savage,
the commander of the Legion, how
ever, unguardedly to reveal the true
character of that body to the French
and to confirm the suspicious of the
workers as to its strike-breaking
fascist nature. He outlined the incep-
ton, growth and attitude of the
Legion, laying particular stress on it's
intention to fight all progressive
movements.
Marshall Foch concluded the
speech-making with few of the re-
marks which he is known to keep on
hand for such occasions.
Mass for Legion.
The banquet came as the end of a
busy official day at which featured a
mass for the Legion at the cathedral
of Notre Dame. Most of the Legion
naires, however, got no nearer the
cathedral than the CIGAR view of it
that they have from Montmartre
which has become practically the
Legion headquarters.
Later in the day, Commander Saw
age, broadcasted by radio from the
Eiffel Tower the statement that the
American Legion is a "cross section
of the American people" His remarks
are accepted with polite incredulity
even by the French official classes,
who understand very clearly the
Legion's attitude in the Sacco-Van-
zetti and other cases, and are anxious
to welcome it for that reason.

Referring to the wages Of the work

"At present most of them work

past year their earnings have not
averaged over S25 a week. With men

much more than this, often as high
as S75 and 500 a week, it is very
difficult to make the men believe they
are getting the best break possible.

"There is a tremendous amount Of

BOARD LOOKS TO FUTURE
East Berlin Youngstcr Narrowly
Escapes Serious Injury by Quick
Stock Quarantine, Griswold Says

Announcement from the local
school board has been made OF the
securing Of an option on a lot on
Alling street. Kensington. from
Judge Willard I. Alling. ito make
possible In the near future an IN
crease in school facilities" as the re-
port states. which Is thought to be
the first move Of the local board In
relieving of preesnt congested condi-
tons in Berlin schools. The an
nouncement follows a period Of IN
~estigation by members OF the board
in an effort to locate a suitable
property on which the town could
erect a school building somewhat
along the lines Of the present Blue
Hills school 1t is reported.
A committee has also been ap-
pointed to study the needs OF Ken
sington district in order to find the
size OF the building required to re-
lieve the present congestion and pro-
vide for future expansion.
The report, signed by Stanley L.
Galpin, a member Of the board, Is
as follows:
THE regular monthly meeting of
the Berlin School Committee was
held on Friday evening. June 8. at
the Town Hall, Berlin. A commit
tee OF which Mr.. f. W. Mildrum Is
chairman. reported that 1t had Sc
cured from Judge Alling an option
on lot on Alling street. Kensington,
to make possible In the near future
an increase in school facilities. Mr..
Coale appointed committee con-
sisting Of Messrs. Galpin. Mi1drum,
Graham and Pagan to study the
needs Of the Kensington district
and to report on the size Of build
ing required to relieve the present
congestion and provide for future
expansion.
The Committee on Grounds and
Buildings reported that It had Sc
cured from Adam Adamovitch an
option on 4 lot In the rear Of the
present South school lot, to relieve
the cramped condition Of the school
yard and provide a suitable place
for the children to play"
No report Of designations and ap-
plications Of teachers for the coming
year has been received from the To-
cal board although a report given

possible to write down in the col umns of the greatest importance. Because the scale registers more than the age and growth, to the disciplined and experienced obsery- CT, it is more like a face that has printed tis own story. The pass is also supplied with a photograph, to have it's place in the simili
 This procedure in examining is in many instances binding and just as much of a deciding factor as an Identification of human being you have seen and whose features you recall from a good photograph. But in both cases it is only of value for the. one who makes the obser- vation; it is difficult for tn observ- CT to explain to the outsider what it is that makes him so sure that this photograph represents the cer- tain person, or that it does not, or that this is the man who I saw committed such a deed yesterday. If we should begin to explain, we may go into detail and explain that the hair was dark and the nose bent, etc, but that is not the de- ciding factor; it is not the singular feature but the feature as a whole that determines your decision. In like manner with the herring and it's scales, herring that has lived a certain number of years in one place, secures it's prints on the scales, from that locality. And if person through intense study has learned to know the so-called Nordnorskeprag" northern Nor way print, it will be recognized on the scales, even though the her ring may have been caught else

so-called ''fetslldsporgimaalet" and shall try to give little account as to what light the investigations have
 been able to throw on this particu- lar stage of the herring life.
 What is ''fetsild," or rather what is a Norwegian fetsild?" because in Iceland the ''fetsild" is some thing entirely different from the Norwegian "fetsild." The follow ing would be a definition: A fetsild is herring between 20 and30 centimeters long, without much roe and milk" and with stored up fat as a reserve supply in larger CT less quantities according to what time of the year it was caught, summer, fall, winter or spring.
 If you ask about the age, the answer will be from 21a to 61s years old. But in the later years, a ''fetsild" of such high age have been rare thing among our obser- vation material. It must also have been rare out in the places where hn TcI, ,rrh@ Y, years when the observations and examinations have been good, the majority of those examined have been 21a years.
 Furthermore the "fetsild" is in reality a herring that has passed the stage of maasildtlorrelsin" but is not full grown-that is not able young ''fetsild" is concerned, there is not even a sign of development of the reproducing organs Tn the older herring, signs of the repro ducing organs may be detected
 If we compare this information with the observations We have re- garding the age of the vaarsild. then it would appear as though we have a complete and correct picture of the situation. Our observations the ''vaarsild' showed that the 'varsild' very seldom become full grown in the third year, but that it often took place in the fourth year. These obser- would suggest that the transition from "fetsild" to "vaar- slid" is a short one and takes place in the fourth and fifth year. This would give us this simple theory that the herring lives as "fetsild" in the northern part of Norway un- til it begins to develop reproduc- ing organs after which they pro- ceed further south and there ap- pear as spawning herring
 This however, does not hold good. A closer and more minute analysis by the assistance of the scale of the fish will give us a more cor rect theory.
 The scale of the herring does not only serve as means by which we

 may tell the age. It Is not a birth certificate only, it is a pass where age, information as to it's growth, as to the place where it has lived, about it's travelling, change of place, etc.
 Regarding the growth, it is quite simple. The distance between the two winter rings, the summer ero, or summer belt width is the meas ure of how much the herring has grown. If the width is big, then the herring has grown great deal and vice versa This may be measured and figured closely and very mi nutely. In the register of the ex- amined herring, information as to it's growth, the length of the fish the first winter, what it has grown the second is found. These obser- vations as to the growth of the herring will tell the future as we learn more and more to make use of it to be of great importance,
 If we take a herring that has de- veloped into a ''vaarsild" four or five years old and compare that one with a herring of the same age caught further north as "fetsild" before they were full grown, it would be seen that their growth was different. While the ''fetsild" Is 21 centimeters at the age of three, the ''vaarsild'' at the same age is "A centimeters and an inch of diff ference in a herring is quite bit.
 We understand that it is not the three year old 'fetsild' 21 centi I meters long hat develop the follow ing year into "vaarsild", 27-28 centimeters long, How is this to be understood. The solution is this: The hiring that grows so fast that it becomes a 'vaarsild'' at the age of four, has neither lived in the northern part of Norway as "smaa- sild'' nor as "fetsild.' It is herring that have lived and developed on the coast of Southern Norway, and very likely spent their two first years among the island reefs of the western coast of Norway. Since it is very seldom we see herring in the third and fourth year, We are forced to draw the conclusion that the herring in tn latater part of the first and second part of the third year migrate from the western coast of Norway, and puts out to sea. Where will temporarily be left unanswered, and spend couple of years out in the ocean.
The Alaskan., 1927-07-15
Something similar

Something similar must take place with the herring that lives it's first years in the sea of north ern Norway, only with this excep- tion, that this particular herring stays year or two longer at the coast. If the size and growth has anything to do with the reproduce tive organs, this is reasonable enough. The herring that lives in the sea of northern Norway does not grow as fast, and it takes a year or more longer to reach a certain length.
 These latter suppositions, in the light of the growth measure' of the "vaarsild" that b, 6-7-year old have the appearance of being true. Because in the sample of such older herring, many individuals are found whose growth corresponds with the growth which the "fetsild" that had lived in northern Norway waters have had These then are found among herring that shows "Vestlandverst" or growth similar to the herring on the western coast of Norway.
 However what really gives the best answer regarding these facts is neither observation as to age nor account of the growth. These are excellent and may easily be express ed in numbers; and special investi- gation has proven that they have objectively an important worth. Be- cause of this, these facts must be placed in the programme as a proof for those who have not made a per sOnal study of it. But for the per- son who has made the herring a life study, everything that the scale registers, things that are not
