BrosDn University Man
Finds Lobster Secret

The man who knows more about
Holsters and how to raise them than
any other man in the world is Ern-
est w. Barnes, a biologist from
Brown university, says the Amer
lean Magazine. He can beat ma
ture at this job, for if she is left to
her own devices she raises only one
lobster in every thousand, while Mr..
Barnes saves 20 out of every thou
sand.
Lobsters are hard to raise, even
under the best conditions. During
the first three stages of their devel-
opment they can do little more than
float with the water currents and
they are deyoured by preying fish.
Moreover, the young lobster is a
cannibal, and feeds on his own spe-
cies.
For 25 years the federal and state
governments have been wrestling
with the problem of saving the sue
culent lobster from extinction. This
has at last been accomplished by a
technique developed by Mr.. Barnes
at the Rhode Island hatcheries.

IT'S TOO BAD
Anti-Union Lawyer WOr-
ried Over LabOr's Action

New York.-James A. Emery, at
torney for the National Association of
Manufacturers, is alarmed at labor's
campaign against the injunction.
In an address to the annual con-
vention of the National Founders
Association, Mr.. Emery truthfully
said the A. F. of l.. is attempting to
impair the power Of the courts ito
afford effective judicial protection in
trade disputes" He fears that trade
unionism is transformed into politi-
cal movement and he threw out dark
hints that radical and even foreign
influences" are behind the workers
activity for injunction relief
He did not name the radical and
even foreign Influences" but this was
not necessary in an audience COM
posed of business men who cannot
understand why workers insist on
the right to bargain collectively.
Mr.. Emery was joyful over recent
legislation passed by the British gov
ernment which annuls every right
trade unionists in that country have
secured the last century.
Mr.. Barr referred to this legisla-
tion as popular political reaction"
against British trade unionism, but
he failed to state that the British
workers have repeatedly challenged
the government to call special cleo
tion that the people may pass judg-
ment on this legislation.
The attorney also expressed his
opposition to the repeal of anti-com-
bination laws. This is to be expected
as the courts have made this legis-
lation harmless against business and
the acts are now only applied to labor

Gasoline From Ignite

Two French chemists, Prud-
homme and Houdry, announce that
they have made gasoline from lig-
mite in commercial quantities. Their
process of distillation is expected
eventually to yield 25o,ooo,oOo gal
Ions of gasoline year-half the
gasoline consumption of France
from 2o,OoO,Ooo tons of Ignite.
Enough Ignite, sometimes called
brown coal, exists in France, experts
estimate, to supply that country
with oil and fuel for at least a CEN
tury and half. Abundant de-
posits, now unused, occur in the
South and West of the United
States.-Popalar Science Monthly.

OPPOSE LAME DUCKS

Westinghouse Norris will
urge his 'lame duck" amendment to
the constitution when congress con-

The resolution fixes January "a in

congress. If this constitutional re-
form is adopted 'lame ducks" could
not assist in the passage of legisla-
ton for three months after they have
been repudiated by the people. The
resolution has passed the senate sew

Westinghouse business men in
this country patronized American
vessels they would have an American

The inconsistency of these business
men is shown by a United States
shipping board report which states
that foreign ships carried more than
two-thirds of Americas foreign trade
in 1926
American shippers paid $60O,0OO,-
600 for ship carriage, the report said.
Of this amount foreign ship owners
received about $480,000,000.

Titled Artist Wants Work
 Taken Seriously

The Marchioness 9. Queensberry who is in America for a three months visit and an exhibition of her portraits at the Jacques Selig- man Gallery, New York, is afraid that America will not take her art seriously because of her title.
 Until her marriage last year to the Marquis of Queensberry, son of the famous patron of prize fighting, the Marchioness was Miss Cathleen Mann daughter of Harrington Mann, English portrait painter well known in the United States.
 My friends expected me to give up painting when I married, but I have worked twice as hard" she said.
 If there is anything about which the Marchioness is more serious than her portrait painting, it is the fee she charges. She is a most business like lady.

COST OF DETOURS
 Sl25,538 IN 1926
164 Miles of Road Laid Out Near Repair Jobs

Hartford, Feb. 11.-Detours may be the bane of the motorists exist ence, but they are no more popular with the Connecticut highway de- partment than with the motorists the main reason being that 1t cost the department s125,53S to prepare and maintain detours during the construction season of 1928. AL though the highway department en- gineers attempt to avoid the need of detours by keeping one side of the road open for traffic whenever possible, there are many cases when this cannot be done and 1t Is then necessary to prepare detour to carry traffic around the spot where the construction work is taking place.
 Preparing a detour is not the simple task that 1t may seem to the motorist, for in most cases it is necessary for the highway depart ment to undertake considerable re- pair work on detour roads before they can be opened for the in- creased amount of traffic. The best roads available are selected for the detours, but even these generally re- quire preliminary repair work, oil- ing, and lighting in order to make them safe for the traffic which is to be shunted over them.
 During the construction season of 1926, it was necessary for the high way department to lay out 164 miles of detour road to carry traffic around construction jobs which were impossible In order to mark plain- ly the routes which were to be fol- lowed by autoists and truck drivers, it was necessary to construct paint. and place 1,76O direction and warn ing signs. Detour roads required 62,45 gallons of oil Inspectors had to be maintained to watch the condition of the detours so that im- mediate repair work could be or dered when necessary.

NAVY RECRUITING
 TAKES BIG SPURT
Trouble in China and Nicaragua
 Believed Responsible

Due to the excitement ih China and naval activities in Nicaragua, the recruiting stations in Connecti- cut are still swamped with appli- cants At the same time the high standard required for entrance in the United States navy is being maintained. Since the first of January 319 applicants have ap- piled and 127 have been enlisted as apprentice seamen and sent to the Naval Training Station at Newport, R. l., for training. The navy re- cruiting service has enlisted over l4,000 men since the first of July, 1926, and before the end of the fiscal year it is expected that more than 26,00G first enlistments will be obtained for the navy. Due to the fact that three out of every four men who are honorably discharged immediately re-enlist under con- tinuouS service, it is expected that the strength Of the navy of S2,500 will be maintained and sufficient numbers of first enlistments will be obtained to man the Saratoga and Lexington. giant aircraft carriers, to be commissioned this spring.
 At present there is a great need for skilled artisans in the navy such as machinists, patternmakers boilermakers, coppersmiths, and blacksIniths and it is possible to enlist a skilled workman of any of the foregoing occupations directly as a second class petty officer. Any one desiring further information is requested to call at the navy re- cruiting office at the post office. The Connecticut district of the re- cruiting service has been successful both as to quantity and quality. During the month of January the Connecticut recruits obtained the highest rating at Newport in mental and physical tests.
 After two months of intensive training in the Guantanamo Bay area, the ships of the scouting fleet and control force will disperse to other ports of the Caribbean to give their crews leave and liberty.

REPORT OF STANDING
COMMITTEES OF THE
3-RIVERS GROWERS

The demand for a subsidiary
service corporation has developed
as a result of certain definite con-
ditions. First is the growth of the
Three Rivers association from a
few hundred to seven or eight hun
dred members. Again, since it is
organized under the cooperative
marketing act it is unable to rem
der the diverse services that the
growers demand, warehousing,
supplies, fertilizers and education
al and marketing information; not
to mention the always necessary
organization work.
Your committees, as appointed,
embraced as far as possible, all
nearby districts from Pasco to
Prosser. As the work progressed
it became evident that it must be
more nearly a local organization,
embracing growers of Hover, Fin
ley, Hedges, Kennewick and Rich
land. However, it would probably
be feasible to extend some service,
especially in the matter of car lot
supplies to more remote districts.
The actual organization offers
no serious problem. The firm
would be organized under the gen.
eral corporation law and directed
and managed by the same board
of directors and managers as the
3-Rivers association. We have for
some time sensed the need to main
tain an office throughout the en-
tire year. 1t seems imperative al
so that the Three Rivers associa-
ton have an assistant manager in
the near future. Under existing
