So important matter as radio control
legislation is short. and a multitude Of
handicaps beset it. Yet it is not
unlikely that the compromise measure
If it really is reported out OF the

Details tre Secret.
1t is impossible to discuss the
merits of the compromise bill now be-
Eng framed by the conference com
mittee for the reason that the con
ferees maintain an unusual secrecy
about it. They are besieged with in
quirieS every time they emerge from
the committee room. but apparently
they propose to keep their own coun-
gel until the bill actually is framed.
An unyeritied report has the com
mittee agreed on the creation of
semi-ndependent commission within
the Department of Commerce as the
agency of control. But this report
and many others the conferees refuse
TO verify or deny under pledge
among themselves.
1t is safe to say however. that their
bill. if generally assented TO in com
mittee and if belligerent minority
does not arise. will in varying meas
ure reflect each angle of belief, wheth-
er colored by personal or political
shading, on the problem OF control.
Accordingly. it seems logical to assume

RIGHT OE SEARCH N ALASKA.

Alaskan homes are cersitled 4tOsthe same iinmunities ard limitationas of search under the National Prohibi- tion, Act as are the homes of residents of otheriportidns of the United States, regardle5s~ofSthk provisions for search of the Alaska bone dry law. This is the principle laid down by the Circuit Cdurtscr Appeals for the first time in a adeiision rendered. Novembey IS, last.
 Under the@Alaska bone dry law, the homes of residents ofsAlasat1 are sub iect to search where thele. is reason to beieve intoxieating .kquor sheld therein. Uuder the. provisions of the National Prohibition Act there must be some:'evidenceeof salesin private dwellings before the right of search is available to enforcement officers. The Appellate Courts decision, noted sbove;s sets aside the locaisstatute and decares; that the. homes!aof Alaskans are: on the same footing as the homes of other Americans in other portions of the co1ntry:

OLD BELIEF EXPLODED.

One of the cOmm0nest, and likewise. one of the most unreasonable weather superstitions, is the belief that If the horns of the new crescent moon tip downward, it is a "wet" moon, por- tending rain.
 The position of the lunar crescent, explains the United States Weather Bureau, depends upon the angle that. the moons path makes with the ho- rizon. and on any given date it is al- ways the same in places having the same latitude. If this weather sign were trustworthy, the same kind of weather. either dry or rainy, would prevail at any given date throughout 2 belt of latitude extending entirely around the globe. Of course, there is ho such uniformity of weather, in re- lation to latitude. In the. temperate zones, where the weather travels from west to east, the greatest con- trasts of vet and dry weather condi- tons are likely to be found along par allels of latitude rather than merid- ians of longitude.
 Near the equator the position of the young moon never makes an angle of more than 30 degreeswth the ho- rizon. and it is generally in an even more nearly horizontal position, as

that intoxicating liquor is being sold therein. The National Prohibition Act (Sec. 25. Title ID requires such evidence. to be presented before a search warrant shall issue.
 '"Te action was one authorized to be brought under the Alaska Bone Dry Act. which declares any place to be 8 nuisance where alcoholic liquors are manufactured. stored, sold. or vended. given away, or vended con- trary to law Secs. 19, 2O.. 39. Stat. 903.) The district judge sustained a preliminary decision of appellee to exclude evidence as to liquor round in a cabin occupied by appellee on the ground that such evidence was liiegal- ly secured. Ruling followed sustained the. objections as the. offer made hy the district attorneyeto show that the liquor seized as, evidence was taken under a search warrant issued upon the sworn. statements. of witnesses. The afidavits were sufficient in their statement. of facts to justify the terms of the Alaska Prohibition Act and te justify the issuance of a search warrant. (Sec. IF. Act above cited.) That the National Prohibition Act did not not work repeal on the prohibition law, made specially for Alaska, has been decided in. several cases in this circuit.
 "Abhats vs. United States, 26O Fed. 1855; Simpson vs. United States, 290 Fed. 763; Peterson vs- United States 297 Fed. 1000. In. the Peterson case the conclusion of the court was thus summed up (p. 1001):
 Tho two laws., National Prohibi- tion Act and Alaska Dry Law, are in force in Alaska, with the qualification that if there are Inconsistencies in any of their provisions the National Prohibition Act, must prevail
 Government Not Sustained.
 The inconsistency wnlcn w,il null hfy the law applicable to the local Territory must be one concerned with the main, purpose of the National. . Act, so that its effects upon a right conferred or restriction declared will be to diminish or to relax either. h. toxicating liquor, by permit, may be possessed under the terms of either act for certain purposes. Under nei- ther act may intoxicating liquor be otherwise possessed. So it will not do to adopt the argument of counsel for the Government. that the search warrant provisions of the National Prohibition Act have to do with con- ditions different and inapplicahle to the enforcement of the Alaska Dry Law. The purpose. as we here con- ceive it to be, by Congress when it adopted the National Prohibition Act and provided particularly what the conditions, to a search of . private dwelling should be, was to occupy that ground fully and to the exclu- sion of laMs of such- local effect. as that here considered. l..

CHICAGO TO HAVE BARE FISH
 FOtJND IN ALASKAN WATERS

CHICAGO.--The possibility < of transporting Alaskan biacktish to Chicago by freezing them into solid blocks. and then bringing themA hack. to life by thawing the ice, is being investigated by. Walter H. Chute, as- sociate director :, of the .4$2,000, ,OO0 Shedd Aquarium to be erected . in Grant Park.
 Preliminary investigation has dsr termined that the Alaskan blackfishs principal food of the natives living between the Yukon delta and the,Kus- kokwim river, has tremendous.vitality and is as lively as ever when thawed out after weeks in their icyeprisons. s- Cases. have been reported where frozen fish have come back to life after being swallowed by. native dogs. In these instances the fish were thaw- ed out by the animal heat .sof the 'stomachs, their movements causing the dogs to vomit them up alive,
 This species is probably the. most abundant of all fishes which occur in the fresh and brackish. waters of the northern part of Alaska. It is found in all. small stxeams of the low grounds. in theamorasses and sp2gt. num-covered areas which are soaked with water and which at times seain to contain water sufficient only to moisten the skin ...
 In the low grounds. or tundra, are thousands of small ponds of very slight depth, connected with each other by small streams of.. variable width These narrow outlets of the pondS,are at certain seasons so full of fish that they completely block them lp.. ..
 The natives capture them. by the use of small traps. The fish are placed in grass baskets, where they quickly freeze, and then are put out of reach of the dogs. When brought into the house, after weeks on. the stages, the fish thaw ont and wiggle around, ap= parently unharmed. ;.
 While their numbers..are so vast as. to, enable whole settlements to ssub-. sist. this species. which is the sole, representative of family and order, of the otherhe remained a lifelong. collectionuin general. The body is, rather long, the pectorals are about half as long as the head, the eye is rather small. the mouth is moderately large, the lower jaw projects like that of an aged trout, and the tail. is rounded, with many slender rays, In. colorrit is mottled brownish- black.

Prescott Frontier Days are known
throughout the nation. The Prescott
rules have become standard wherever
a cowboy contest is held. Clean cut
management has brought about the
high standard of the Prescott From
tier Days.
When tourists from all over the
world are in Northern Arizona for
its wonderful summer season, it has
been deemed expediert to make an
earnest effort to display to the best
possible advantage the resources of
Northern Arizona, which are mining,
stock raising, farming, forestry, eli
mate and scenery. Combined with
the thrilling Frontier Days contests,
the fair affords the stranger an OPP
portunity to become acquainted with
the diversified resources of the north
ern tier of counties, namely: Apache,
Coconino, Mohave, Navajo and Yaya-
pal.
All Arizona joins in attending the
Frontier Days, for it is recognized as
one of the states greatest institu-
tions. July 1,s2, 8 and 4 are the dates
observed by the Prescott Frontier
Days for the past 80 years.
