THE TEST

Names of orators who f1ourished
many centuries ago have been Kept
alive and nourished though their
worth we cannot know. We are tax
ing much for granted when we praise,
with swelling pride, delegates who
have been planted since before j:
Caesar died. We are all convinced
and certain that Demosthenes was
great, when he stepped before the
curtain and consented to crate. we
are told about his glory when we ply
our infant feet; down the ages goes
the story that his speaking was a
treat He's the greatest contribution
to the craft that ever was: he invented
elocution, and he patented applause.
If the monograph were grinding
when he worked the speakers trade,
if a record were unWinding his ad-
dress as it was made, it may be that
we would litter as we leaned against
the fence: could it be that WINDY
critter once was famed for eloquence!
Did all men admire his speaking as
historians maintain? For his rusty
voice is Squeaking like a Wlndm1H IN
the rain. He is humming. he is hawk
ing, he let's out discordant bawl, ana
we seem to see him paving for word
he can't recall. But no monographs
were minted in the days of long ago
and we swallow all that's limited of
Demos and Cicero. With emotion we
have listened to great speakers of this
land: but the babes unborn, unchris-
tened, will decide just where they
stand. Never more can tinhorn speak
ers hold, unearned, a fame sublime,
travelling like thieves in sneakers down
the corridors of time. For the speak
ers we've saluted with respect, to
whom we bow, will be heard and
roundly hooted in a thousand years
from now. When descendants hear
the twadle that we now consider fine.
they will to the cupboard waddle for
q stoup of current wine.

HOLDS FISHERIES
| OF i. S. DECLINING
Head of Bureau Urges Ex-
perts to RedoubIe Efforts to
/ Maintain Productivity.

Declaring that American fisheries
are declining in productivity and that
the work of the Bureau of flsherleS
has not been sufficient TO MAINTAIN
them in their former state, CommlS-
sioner of Fisheries O'Malley yesterday
urged a group of fisheries experts
gathered at the bureau to redoubie
their efforts toward fish conservation
to the end that productivity may De
maintained
"The fishery investigator of today
stands on the threshold of new era
of scientific Development he SAID
"The new science of fish biology IS
developing rapidly both in this couh-
try and in Europe and promises to
become an important and honored
member of the group of natural sci
ences.
Many Problems Untouched.
Fishery biology is entering upon
practically virgin field, there is no
dearth of urgent and significant ques-
lions, in fact, every fishery in every
section of the country offers host OF
problems too numerous to mention
and as yet untouched. Not only the
practice of fishery conservation, but
the very fundamentals still await
investigation
''We cannot deny or ignore the
fact that our fisheries are declining
A half century of the bureaus acuVl-
ties have not been sufficient to pre-
vent depletion in some. commercial
extinction in others. l should not care
to say that the bureaus work has
amounted to nothing, but we must
conclude that our efforts have not
been sufficient to maintain the fish
cries in their former state of produc-
tiveness.
1--WE must, therefore, extend and
more wisely direct our efforts; we
must succeed in co-ordinating and or
ganizing the efforts of our staff and
of biologists throughout the country
upon the problems of the maintenance
of the annual yield.
Faith Put i'm Science.
Mr.. O'Malley added that 'our re-
sponsibility toward the fisheries is
emphazied by the childlike faith OF
the public in the efficacy of science"
"This confidence is almost en-
barassing and in view of the COM
plexity of the problems of converse
ton this faith may well be shaken
by the unavoidable slowness with
which results are produced. The
immediate problem, he said, is 10
devise means and develop methods
of effecting real fishery conservation.
The conference, which is attended
by fisheries experts from all parts of
the country, will last three days and
all phases of the fisheries OF the
United States will be discussed.

CLEARING HOUSE"
FOR PAVING URGED
Whitehurst Wants Board of
Trade to Pass on All
Repair Requests.

Creation of clearing house" fol-
requests for paving and repairing OF
streets and roads. to be conducted by
the Washington Board of Trade. with
the object of giving city officials q
BROADER view of the wishes of Wash
ington residents regarding street i'm
provements, yesterday afternoon was
proposed by Assistant Engineer Com
missioner Whitehurst in an address
before the committee on streets and
avenues of the Board of Trade.
The proposal met with approval of
numbers OF committeeman present.
and Chairman George c. Shinn of the
streets and avenues committee. who
presided, announced meeting OF the
committee would be called in the near
future to formulate plans for carrying
out the proposal.
Pointing to the need OF better guild
snce by the taxpayers of Washington
concerning expenditures for highway
improvements. Capt. Whitehurst re-
ferred TO the hundreds of requests for
improvements which each year are
made to the engineering department
by individuals and organizations,
most of whom. he said. have the i'm
provement particularly of their own
communities at heart.
Boards Help Is Urged.
The Board of Trade. through its
committee on streets and avenues,
Capt. Whitehurst suggested, might set
I'D a Clearing house" for such high
way petitions, seek statements on the
needs in all sections of the District,
make a careful study of requests sub
nitted and ultimately make recon-
mendations to the highway depart
meBt for action.
At the present time. the speaker
said. the highway department officials
have a sort of clearing house all their
own in that they keep record of all
requests and recommendations re-
ceived through the year, and prior to
the preparation of lists of needed
street paving and repair work sort
over these recommendations, selecting
the most urgently needed in relation
TO the benefit to the whole city and
the amount of appropriations expected.
In Capt. Whitehurst's opinion. an
outside agency Analysing and sitting
requests would be of value.
Discusses Revenues.
Capt. Whitehurst also discussed
available revenues for street improve
ment purposes and declared the city
as yet is unable TO eaten up Win the
yearly extension of new highways.
Each year, he said, IS miles of roads
are dedicated and opened in the Dis
trict, while but 10 miles, approXi-
mately, can be paved under existing
revenues.
An increase in the gas tax would be
the most practicable way to care for
the needed increase in outlay for paw
ing projects, he said. The gas tax
is the fairest way of assessing the
costs Of the paving, he said. because it
reaches those who use the streets
most.
The meeting was attended by a
dozen representatives Of citizens as
sociations, especially invited to join in
the study of roads, in addition to mem
bers of the Board of Trade committee.
Edwin M. Bayly was secretary of the
meeting.

ON RAIL RUMORS
Lacks Information of New
York Central Seeking En-
trance to Capital.

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion had no information today on the
reported attempt of the New York
into Washington via the Western
Maryland Railroad and the Washing
ton, Baltimore and Annapolis electric
line. Unusual activity in the stock of
the Maryland and Pennsylvania Rail
road yesterday on the Baltimore Stock
Exchange and an application by the
Western Maryland to the Interstate
Commerce Commission to issue 100, 900
shares of common stock in exchange
for second preferred stock in the rsSl-
road at the option of holders initiated
a rumor that the New York Central,
which was ostensibly behind the mar
ket move, was seeking to absorb the
two smaller roads to secure an en-
trance into the Capital. Comm<slon
officials professed to know nothing OF
the move in advance of formal dec
laration of intent on the part OF any
of the railroads involved and would
say nothing as to the prospect or the
Western Maryland transfer.
In other quarters the Pennsylvania
Railroad was believed to be behind
the move to acquire the Western
MARYLAND and the Washington, Baltl-
more and Annapolis, but there was
no evidence of far-reaching move
Moderate activity in the stock OF
the Washington. Baltimore and An
napolis over the last few weeks, ap-
preciated considerably in the last two
or three days, has been connected
with the Western Maryland. The two
roads have a physical connection at
Westport, Md, from which point the
electric line takes over considerable
coal tonnage from the Western Mary
land for Baltimore and washington
The activity in stock or the electric
line has centered in Baltimore. There
has been little activity in the stock
on the local exchange.
Purchase of 35 per cent OF the stock,
or "A controlling interest, in the West
ern MARYLAND was announced early
this week by the Baltimore and Ohio,
and 1t was learned yesterday that the

British Troops Also Due There To
morrow, Says London.

LONDON, February 10 0Pl.-The
arrival of 400 American marines in
Shanghai is reported in an Exchange
Telegraph dispatch received here to-
day. Two battaIions or British troops
are expected tomorrow, the dispatch
adds.
Public opi1lieTl, so far as could be
seen today, was unperturbed by the
news that British troops were going
TO Shanghai instead Of being diverted
20 Hongkong.
The general public has been re.
assured by such statements as those
of Winston Churchill. chancellor of
the exchequer, that Miles Lampson,
the British Minister at Peking, is a
man OF keen judgment and wide ex-
perience. and that Rear Admiral
Sir Reginald Tyrwhitt, commander-in
chief Of British naval forces in Chinese
waters, is one OF the most sober-mind-
ed and coolest officers of the navy.
Referring to the military situation
in China, between the rival Cantonese
and Peking forces. as uncertain and
obscure, the chancellor intip1ated in
the House OF Commons yesterday that
what happened in Shanghai would
likely depend on the fighting now
proceeding in the neighborhood of
Hanchow. about 100 miles southwest
Of Shanghai.

ITALIAN PRESS SCORES u. S

ROME, February 10 HD.-The pro
posal of the United States for the
naturalization of the Shanghai zone is
an "imperialistic gesture" intended
to shift the center of the diplomatic
negotiations on China from Europe
TO the United States. says La Tribuna,
which usually speaks for the govern
ment.
"It would not be surprising" the
paper says, III a proposal were made
to hold a conference I'm Washington
TO re-exa mine the Chinese problem
like that of 1921. This gesture can
not be called by any hypocritical name
of the social democratic, Masonic or
even Anglo Saxon language. but must
be characterized by a single word,
namely, imperialism.
IT must be recognized BY all the
nations involved, continues La Tri-
buna. that Shanghai is seriously
menaced THE Italian government
has given a good example of clarity
and sincerity by seeing that part of
the problem which is the problem of
force
Iamenting reports of the deviation
of British troops to Hongkong, which
is seen as a foolhardy delay which
possibly may be productive of un
fortunate consequences, Giornale
d'Italia urges speedy military action
Everybody who has dealt with the
Chinese knows that they respond to
two types of ggestion-money OF
force" the paper says, "If money
for the purchased corruption of the
Cantonese leaders no longer is eff
fective, it is necessary TO haster
force"

Commissioners Draft Plan as
Substitute for One Blocked
by Budget.
5000, 900 IS ESTIMATED
AS TOTAL COST LIMIT
Proposal to Place Recorder in Dis
trict Building Addition
Was Opposed.

With their efforts to locate the office
of the recorder of deeds in the pro-
posed addition to the District Building
blocked by the Bureau of the Budget.
the Commissioners today adopted as
an alternative a plan calling for the
construction of an independent build
ing which would house the Office of
the recorder of deeds, the Municipal
and Juvenile Courts.
The Commissioners drafted a bill
authorizing the acquisition of a site
and the construction of the building
at total cost not In excess of $780,
900, and sent it to the Budget Bureau
to determine whether this new prof.
ect would run into conflict with the
Presidents financial program. The
limit of cost of the site was fixed at
$250,000 and the building at $3.50, 900.
Rent Now Is S2O,SO0 Yearly.
The District, the Commissioners ex-
planned in communication to Brig
Gen. Herbert NJ. Lord. director of the
bureau, Is now paying a total of $20.-
500 year for the rental of buildings
or parts of buildings now occupied
by the recorder of deeds, the Munich
pal and Juvenile Courts. The rental
for the four floors of the Century
Building used by the recorder of
deeds amounts to $4,000 annually
The building coupled by the Municipal
Court on John Marshall place costs
$4,000 year in rental, while the tenn
porary Government building at New
Jersey avenue and c street rents for
