fish that happen by chance to be near Because men of science have not been careful on that line, curi- ous mistakes have resulted.
 Now when the glue has dried do we have a glass plate that contains all the information that has been written down with ink and also the scales where nature itself has written it's information.
 By this time the glass plates are ready to be put under the micro scope and examined. Scale after scale is carfully looked over, the winter ring and summer eros count ed and written down.
 From the herring bought there will always be a great number that has lost their biggest scales and thus make the herring valueless as far as experiments are concerned When the herring have been exam ined we are able to determine how many there are of each and thus determine the percentage of those of three, four, five years, etc.
 The following table shows one of the experiments:
 6 year born 192O-7 of them 15R ' year born 1919 5 of them 71 % Swear 1918 2S of them 61 &a 9-year born 1917 2 of them 4 % 1O-yr. born 1916 0 Oaa 12-yr. born 1915 2 % 13-yr. born 1913 2 9o
 If the herring sample in this ex- pertinent had not been so small we would have had some that has been four or five years, and some that were ten and eleven years-and very likely few that would have been over thirteen years old. But the sample was too small to be a re- presentation for such details
 It is the percentage that we are mostly interested in, and it is very remarkable that 61 per cent of the herring other words over a half of them are eight years old; while the rest of them are divided in the other classes. This fact may not be so outstanding before we ask the question Why is it that the one particular age is so strongly re- presented in the sample case. The first answer possibly may be that it happened by chance that there were so many eight-years old GHu dHOIHeI SdHlple CdS0 Hay prove other wise, for instance that there would be goodly numbers of nine or ten, or about equally divided in all classes.
 However the correct answer can be given on the strength of the earlier experiments this year, and the conclusion is following. This year (1926) we find of the eight year group, great majority. It is nothing more than what we would expect to find-a majority of the Swear old herring. It could have been told last year.
 These Swear old herring, as the table shows were from the year 1918, and we were aware of this fact two years ago. that there were more frye from the year 1918 than any other year. Consequently this result came not as a surprise but rather as a verification of previous years experiments.
 There is also difference as to the qualities of the herring. The herring from 1917 for instance may not be as good as the herring from 1918, or vice versa These differ ence of qualities from year to year are not small. On the con- trary they are quite big, and would almost be unbelievable if it were not for the material and proof at hand

Trouble Is Possible Before
Transportation Difficulty
Is Solved

New York, July 27.-(AP)-
Freed of immediate menace of a
transit strike, New York's travel
ing millions breathed more freely
as they rode to work today.
The threatened strike, which
last midnight was to have tied up
all New York's subway and ele-
vated systems, was called off last
evening, after 4 conference ht-
tended by Mayor Walker and Of
ficials Of the union and the COM
panies.
A difference Of opinion in the
terms of settlement was seen to-
day as tending to cause further
possible trouble. And the finding
Of q bomb in subway tunnel un-
der the East river, caused some
concern.
Main Contention
James H. Coleman, general or
ganizer for the Amalgamated As
sociation Of Street and Electric
Railway Employees, hailed the set
Element as victory for the union
and said it established virtual rec
ognition Of his organization, which
was the main contention in the
controversy.
James L. Quackenbush,, general
counsel for the 1nterborough Rap
id Transit company, denied, how
ever, that any recognition Of the
union had been agreed upon.

Geneva, July 27.-F)-The Amer
)ican delegation to the tripartite
naval conference was informed to-
day that w. C. Bridgeman, first lord
of the admiralty and Earl Cecil are
due back at Geneva from London
tomorrow.
The situation here continued ex-
tremely uncertain today, as no in
tination has reached the American
and Japanese delegations concerning
the British attitude on the outstand-
ing problems of the conference, espe-
cially the question Of S-inch gun
cruisers, which the United States in
sists it must have the right to build.
In some quarters, II is thought
possible that the British may sug-
gest reaching an agreement on the
total tonnage Of submarines and de-
stroyers and upon the number Of
10000 ton cruisers which Great Bri-
tain, the United States and Japan
would be. authorized to build.

RODE HORSES IN
RELAYS TO PATIENTS

Coming to Dakota territory in 1883,
DIR. Stickney located at Dickinson. He
was the only doctor la the territory
for several y4ers 'and at the time of
his death had practiced medicine in
North Dakota longer than any other
physician in the state. He was a
native of Vermont and. a graduate of
New Hampshire College and the Dart
mouth medical school. f'aa' :" -
A brief biography published re-
Gently by the extension division Of
lthe University Of North Dakota, re-
cites how the pioneer physician often
rode relays Of horses on hundred
mile trips to the bedside Of a pa
tient.
Settlers and cowmen along the
route provided the doctor with fresh
horses SO that he might travel as
fast as possible without interruption.
Although at home on a horse al
most until the day of his death, DR..
Stickney's practice in recent years
had been restricted by his advanced
years to the vicinity of Dickinson.
For years he was one of the best
known and most picturesque figures
in western North Dakota.

Bucharest, Rumania, July 27.-R
"A plea to the people Of Americs.
not to forget her in her sorrow was
made by Queen Marie, when she re-
ceived the correspondent at Cotroceni
Palace, while King Ferdinand lay
dead in an adjoining room. She spoke
in tender terms of her husband, how
he would have liked before he died
to have seen the former Crown Prince
Carol; and characterized as "cruelly
false" words of her critics and ad-
that she was an ambitious
woman, who wanted to be queen after
the kings death.
Gentlest of Kings
F'Death has torn my heart and
scared my SOUL" she said.
1T has taken from me my dear
husband and the gentlest and most
dutiful of kings. It reduced me from
q reigning queen to lonely widow.
l shall sit clustered and alone in
this little room to bear the agony
which God has thrust on me. Let
not the people of America forget me
in my sorrow. Let \the women espe-
cially give me their Isisterly love and
consolation. l am only a widow now.

With a huge crucifix resting on

with her face envelopcd in deep black

by convulsive sobs, were accentuated
in their solemnity and pathos by the
atmosphere Of death which prevaded
the palace.

New York. July 27.-(R-A direct

visioned today by New York news
paper commentators.
The +. |. dh Pont de Nemours i'm

Motors, are reported in Wall Street
circles to have been quietly buying
heavily Of United States Steel COM
mon. Their holdings acquired in the
past few weeks alone are placed by
stock exchange brokers at approxim-
ately l140OO shares.
Semi-annual statements issued yes
terday by both the General Motors
and the United States Steel show the
former concern continues to hold its
position OF undlsputed leadership
among industrial and railroad cor
porations Of the world
General Motors reported net earn

Of 1927. United States Steel, it's
nearest competitor, reported total
earnings of sol ,625,lS5 for the same
period.

That this will be accomplished with

Pierre Du Pont, chairman Of the
General Motors board, is mentioned
as the most probable representative

If Mr.. Du Pont is seated as dircc-
tor of United States Steel, rumors
are that he will be elected chairman
of the steel corporations board on
the retirement of Ebert H. Gary.

LORD CECIL is HOPEFUL

London. July 27.--(AP)-W. c.
Bridgeman, first lord of the Brit
ish admiralty, and Viscount Cecil
left for Geneva this morning to
participate in a resumption Of the
naval conference there, They had
been in London 81 rsk having
come from Geneva to,piAsa hefsfss
the cabinet report on thcsskAtsis
Of the naval parleys and to re-
ceive further instructions for their
continuance.
Before entraining, Mr.. Bridge
man said:
1--WE shall finish our work this
time, one way or the other. We
are going back after long discus
sions with the cabinet and | think
the position is clear. The govern
ment thoroughly discussed the
whole situation and the position
of Great Britain remains funda-
mentally unchanged. l can only
say have just as good hope for
settlement as when we came
back"
L.rd Cecil remarked: II am al
ways hopeful, but l regard the
position as unquestionably caitl-
cal"
The delegates are due in Gene-
va Thursday morning.
Sir Austen Chamberlain, the
foreign secretary, in a statement
in commons, regarding the naval
conference at Geneva, today said
that in the opinion of the govern
ment there need be no difficulty
arising at temporary arrange
ment regarding the immediate fu-
ture Of cruiser building.
Sir Austen added, however, that
the British empire could not be
asked to give to any such tenn
porary arrangement the appearance
of an immutable principle which
might be treated as precedent.
Might Hurt Prospects
Sir Austen said that it would be
improper at this stage to make
any detailed explanation of the
British proposals Of the interested
powers.
"The statement l am going to
read is therefore designed only to
remove misunderstanding, which,
If continued uncorrected, could not
but impede the prospects of sue
cess" he said.
"Despite the efforts Of our dele
gates at Geneva, serious misappre-
tensions Of the aims Of the Brit
ish government still prevail IN
some quarters" continued the for
eign secretatry. "His majesty's
government even has been charged
with the desire to destroy that
equality of seapower, as between
the United States and the British
empire, which the Washington
conference contemplated--a sus-
picion for which there is no foun-
dation."
siaea
Washington Parlcya ~ t6
The invitation Of the president
of the United States to take part
in the disarmament conference
was understood by his majesty's
government to be based on the de-
sire to develop the policy of the
washington conference by dinlin-
ishing yet further labor and ex-
penditure while maintaining ma
tional security.
with this two-fold aim, his
| maiesty's government is in COM
plete agreement, and they desire
! to measure the merits of every
proposal by the degree to which
it furthers this two-fold purpose"
