 These birds have wintered at Lake Merritt and migrated North, and it will be of interest to all nat uralists and sportsmen of the Pa cic Coast to locate the direction and extent of flight to their Northern nesting and feeding grounds Already a male sprig (pintaiD and a male widgeon of these band ed birds have been reported from Alberta, Canada, and I would be very grateful to you if you would kindly publish this letter In your newspapers with instructions that other papers please copy in the en- deavor to pass the word among bird lovers and sportsmen to inter- est them in watching for these banded ducks anywhere in Alaska. Also that any bands recovered be forwarded to Bureau of Biological Survey, U. s. Department of Agri- culture, Washington, D. C., with full information where recovered and by whom.

Fish Bureau Gives Highball To Our
 Stink Factories

The Bureau of Fisheries will es- tablish a regular herring patrol in the herring districts of the First Di- vision and will have them carefully watching for violations of the laws and otherwise assist the destroyers of the herring fisheries to obey the law more or less-mostly less.
 John Mclaughlin will be in charge of the work as special war den. The Valkyrie, Capt. Wood has been chartered by the Bureau for this service.
 Lower Chatham Strait to Cape Olmany and waters outside of Ba- ranoff will be patro1led. It Is alleged by Juneau paper that Warden McLaughlin's duty will be mainly to see that herring fishery regulations are observed by all boats and operators generally.
 It is further said that the large increase in mild cure and reduction plants in the First Division has made necessary this work.
 There is no law to cover the oper- ations of fertilizers plants, accord ing to Secretary of Commerce Her. bert Hoover, aside from a closing law The question then is What is this patrol going to do aside from visiting at the canneries and Oc- cosionally burning up a lot of oil?

SHE.W0MAN AGAIN MORE FASHIONABLE
The So.Caled "He- Woman" Has
 Proved a Failure

London. March n tUP)-The he woman has killed herself. She was q failure.
 This is the verdict of the fashion jury of London after an autopsy on dead styles. The he-woman became neurotic through the craze for straight lines and the boyish figure. She dieted and starved herself unti! she became painfully thin.
 Her place is being taken by 'he modern feminine-woman who, judg- ing by the spring fashions, will be perfectly a delightful person.
 She will be slim, yes" said a prominent court dressmaker. She vii never go back to the bad old days when women were all figure and vapors. Tennis, golf and motor ing have done away with that. But she is profiting from her reaction of the match-stalk figure. She will wear higher waists. tluffier frocks, eayer buttonholes and richer evening shawls. She will be more feminine and more lovely. Her skirts will be about an inch longer and sine will want 10 be a shade plumper. The rolled stocking idea is dead. It was q crazy notion for London. with our climate. and knees obviously too ugly. Also the flat-heel idea has been abandoned. It was only a whim, anyway. and the women who clumped along in ow-heeled shoes found they were bad for the ankles
 Tn the daytime Miss 1927 will wear simple. strai,ish dresses: at night her frock will spring into full ness from tie waist. which will be q triile higher and with cascades of lraperios from the hip. She will be real she Woman.'

RADIO HYPNOSIS
 | TESTS DOUBTFUL
Doctors Uncertain-0ne Subject
 Not Affected at All

Boston. March lo UPl-scion- tists differed here today regarding ;tho results Of the first hypnotism- Nia-radlo test in history, conducted last night by Prof. Gerald Fitzgib- ;bons of Springfield.
 Two O. three subjects, one form Ter Northampton neighbor Of Presi- ld mt Coolidge. appeared 10 have been mesmorizcd by the professor rN-do stood before a mcrophone 10 miles away The third subject, Her ,nan Deshoif Of Fall Rver, 2Q-year- loli Harvard student, reported he lad not been affected by the hyp- inotic radio voice.
 Doctors Are Doubtful.
 Psychologists. brain specialists, physicians radio experts and news papermen witnessed the novel ox- pertinent. AfterWard, TWO doctors Were virtually certain that DeshoN had not reacted to the efforts of the hypnotist. and were doubtful as to the scnuincnesS of the mesmeric state into which the other two sub 9eets appeared 10 have been thrown. The subjects who apparently were 1ypnotized by radio were William j.. Hall, 24, and George Marshall, 2SS. both Of Springfield. Hall formerly Lived near inc Coolidge home in Northampton. Both young men pre- vioHsly Nad been hypno.ized by Prof. Iitzgibbons.
 The thre" subjects sat before a loud speaker in the Boston studio on the sixth floor of the Hotel Bruns- wick, Prof. FitZsibbons in lis most magnetic voice, ordered his subjects 10 gaze into the loud-speakcr and concentrate on his words.
 Iitzsibbons' Methods.
 Breathe deeply. now' he said. and the three subjects began to in- halc and eNhalc enthusiastically. Deeper shouted the professor. 'Deeper.'
 And now" he continued, when l count two you will roll your eyes Upward into your head, with a fixed determination not to let them down. Al the count Of three you will close your eyes, breathe deeply, and you will become sound, fast asleep. You Twill hear no sound but my voice, and you will not wake uv until l clap tv hands"
 The radio voice became soothing, roaXins. You are falling asleep. You are drowsy. Take deep brcaths. When l count 10 you will be in very deep sleep, in which you will hear no sound but my voice.
 At the count of 10, Marshall and F5alf apparently succumbed to slum- ber. Their heads sagged and their hands lay limp in their ,aps. Deshoff &as not affected.
 The professor then told his sub Fleets they were to have q funny dream and few moments later
New Britain herald., 1927-03-10

Marshall and Hall began to laugh almost historically.
 He told them they were in the south and that mosquitoes wer after them. And the same two, subjects loosened their collars and tried 10 shoo away imaginary mosquitoes. Arms Ordered Rigid. Arms Of the subjects were ordered made rigid and iasensible to pain. , and physicians pricked them with needles. The subjects showed no signs Of pain. but 1t was noted that the kindly doctors had not used the needles sufficiently to bring blood.
 Before bringing his subjects out of the supposed hypnotic state, Prof. Fitzgibbons told them they were to be given post-hypnotic suggestion. Three minutes after they awakened. they were told, their left arms would become paralyzed and tha. one min ute thereafter they were 10 write the word Surrender" on a piece Of paper. Then they would become normal he said.
 Marshall and Deshoff did not ex- perience the promised paralysis but Hall claimed he did.
 In their report on the experiment, Dr. A. Warren Stcarns, psychlatrist at Massachusetts state prison, and Dr. c. A. Bonner, superintendent of the Boston Sychopathic hospital said that the speed with which the test was conducted gave them "a rather unsatisfactory opportunity 10 determine the genuineness of the demonstration with a iinality which might have been cXpectcd.'
 Regarding inc subject, Deshotf they said "ho apparently did his best 10 cooperate but was unaffected by the attempt to hypnot!ze him
 Regarding Hall, they said they Were unable to say with assurance that he was under deep hypnotic in fuencc.'
 The doctors stated that in the case Of Marshall there appeared 10 have been greater ggnuiNcueSs.
