London Men Anxious to Hear
 Her Secrets

London, Sept. 16 tP--It was man and not woman who nearly nobbed "Grandma" Fannie Ward wien she gave her first talk in London on how to keep young. Women wer. at the lecture, of course. but men sutnum- bered the fair listeners nearly two to one. Many of the men who were passed middle-age made numerous jottings in note books of Miss Wards recipe for youth.
 The so year old actress talked a good deal about keeping an even frame of mind and caution.d against losing ones temper
 Keep smiling, and never frown," she laughed. Just bear in mind that it takes only 35 muscles to bring a smile, but 65 to make a frOWn.
 And remember, too, that inter est in life is the keynote to the melody of youth"
 Miss Ward said because she was a grandmother she had been criti- cized for returning to the stage. "I have not come back to the stage as a vaudeville artist" she explained. ito tell you how it is I am still young
 No persons needs meat aftc, reaching the age of 35, Miss Ware said. She advised everybody t study this diet
 Don't munch too much whis bread and butter-munch green salads instead" As to fads Miss Ward declared: "I don't believe n all thsee new treatments such as monkey glands" When the lecture was concluded the men crowted around in such numbers to get good look at her that Miss Wrrd was compelled to fee for safety,

SAY COOLIDGE NOT l. FOR EARLY SESSION
Believe President Siding With
 Majority Of Party

Washington. Sept. 16 P,-Al- though the preponderance of the views Of the republican leaders of congress in their conferences with President Coolidge since his return to Washington is opposed to an ear ly converting, they are unanim ously of the opinion that an unusually , heavy program of legislation con- fronts the new session
 While the president has received some contrary opinion including that of a progressive senator, Nye of North Dakota, regarding the practicability of a special session, it is understood that he is inclined to retain his previous viewpoint that an early assembly is unnecessary.
 The joint congressional committee, created to deal with questions of ad- mlnistration of the tax law. has been called by it's chairman. Repre- sentative Green. who is also head of the house ways and means commit tee, for an initial meeting in the middle of October. The calling of this committee has developed. how ever. according to views among con- gressmen. the fact that the revision of the administrative features of the present tax law may cause almost as much of q problem 10 the new congress as the deciding of the re- duction of taxes.
 There is said to be a rift in the committee on the selection of Green as chairman which is reported to have led to wide differences between the senate and house members on the prosecution of this task of re- vising the administrative features.
 Speaker Longworth Of the house the Mississippi river flood problems should not lead to nasty action but needs its study by the best minds of the country. He, however. said that, if the report of the engineers and experts in tlooo control was eadv for consideration, there inlght be cause for summoning an early ses- sion of congress.
 The speaker believed a tax revi- sion bill should be enacted early during the new session and asserted that farm relief and the Muscle Shoals measure should be deferred until later. Railroad consolidation and other legislative measures af- fecting railroads, he added, should he considered in committee before the session convenes and the ap-

Martgny. Switzerland, Sept. 1s LP nous hospice has been dimmed. ! Monks at the closter have been in 1 formed that it is used as a beacon by smugglers who trek their way on stormy nights through the great St. Bernard pass between Switzer- ! land and Italy.
 How the light was made to shine less brightly is one of the secrets of the thousand -year-old institution. but it is no longer visible from the out f-the-way trails along the pass The monks learned that snug glers of tobacco, silks and precious stones not only used the light as a guide but also attempted the pass in the worst weather. knowing that if a storm suddenly enyeloped them the kindly occupants of the monas- tery would come to their rescue
 The pass has been gateway be- tween Switzerland and Italy since the days of Julius Caesar, and the monks of St. Bernard. who are pledged to devote a part of their lives 10 saving Alpine travellers lost in the snow, have become as wide ly known as the pass itself,
 The minute a storm sets In they strap on first aid kits and go out into the night to save any person caught in the whirl of snow which covers everything in Its path. With them always go their St. Bernard dogs, who get their name from the rescue hospice.
 When Napoleon led an army was only a bridle path. Today it is traversed by hundreds of persons daily.

WARNS FISHERMEN BE PREPARED OPERATE

TOTAL HALlBuT CATCH PAsT SEASON DECLINED; ENORMOUS
 INCREASE GEAR

VANCOUVER, Nov. so lP)-A,tAs there is an opportunity to revive the halibut industry fishermen were ed. vised by Dr. W. F. Thompson to As prepared to operate under stringent regulations which will be made by tAs international halibut commission.
 Dr. Thompson. who Is director gor scientific research under authority os the commission, spoke at the confer ence here and declared statistics Rhow on the banks are very ser ious. The total catch declined and an enormous increase in amount of gear was used.
 Vancouver representatives of the in- dustry approved of the closed halibnt season and two suggested the closure might be extended two weeks, each  prior to the beginning of the end of the season. Dr. Thompson declared with the decline of fish and increase of gear the conclusion necessarily fol- lowing means stringent regulations must be adopted;
 The immediate and future migration of halibut was found comparatively small and different regulations in each area will be enforced. Owing to the distinctly different rates, growths and habits, it probably will be necessary to set aside great spawning reserves to protect the smaller fish.

NEW REGULATIONS MUST BE REGARDED
 AS EXPERIMENTS
pR. THOMPSON, AFTER STUDY, CERTAIN HALlBuT INDUSTRY
 CAN BE PRESERVED

VANCOUVER, Nov 30. R-Dr ". P. Thompson, fish scientist, said 11at all regulations must be regarded &s experimental when first enforced because the commission can do no more than what is believed will be beneficial to the industry. By furth- e9 study am sure the industry can be preserved but to what extent only future investigations will reveal" He urged cooperation in the industry was essential to this.
 A L. Rger, appearing for the New England Fishing O., said if the gov ernment decided to close some of the depleted chicken halibut banks, such as those off Goose Island, he can see no great reduction in the annual catch.
 
 sideration by the commission is in the reduction of the catch, which even if only slight, will cause the price to go up and would automatically result in greater importation of halibut, in a frozen form, from Japan.
 Fishing companies are already greatly handicapped by prices they had to pay fishermen for the product and he said the Japanese improved freezing process and quality is better than the first years in 1925 and 1926. He added packing companies had the same experience with salmon and it had taken the Japanese 12 years to perfect their canning. Other pro- cesses, he feared, would be the same as in the case of halibut.
 Dr. Thompson stated the natural rate of increase of halibut Is two fish per pair spawning fish.
 Henry O'Malley, U. s. Fish Com missioner, said the natural rate of in crease for red salmon was three per pair spawning fish The rate amount of other varieties is unknown.
