Abbott Thinks Author
 Has Better of Actor

Palm Beach, Fla, Feb. 24 R}- George Abbott, actor, playwright and director. says he gets more satis- faction out of writing good play than he does in acting a fine part.
 "Once the author has had his play produced, he loses interest in it." he elaborates. But then a playwright can shut his eye to the current Broadway production. pick up his pen and write another play. whereas the actor, weary of his lines. must keep on with his part"
 Interest and enthusiasm for a role dies a slow death within . year. he believes. As collaboration in Broadway" "Coquette." "Fom Walls," and other successes, Ah- bolt declares the trend of the American theater is toward truth fulness. The cause of many fail- ures on the stage. he believes, may be traced to the door of an un- tenable premise.
 The United States, in his opin- ion, has the best actors in the world-"and by far the best comed- ians."

 Tho most significant change in the Erie fisheries has been the dras- tic decline in the herring catch. This species has been the most im- portant economically because of the si1e of tho annual catch. amounting to 39.00o.00 pounds In the early sos By 1895. however. it had dwindled to iess than 3.00o,00o pounds, and the 1927 catch tndi- cated that, for commercial purposes, the lake herring seemed to be ex. tinct.
 The catch of white fish dropped from 3.600,000 pounds in 1885 to less than 100000 in 1925: sturgeon from 4.727.000 to 1000 in the same period. and blue pike. considered not worth taking in the earlier years. from 1s.7eo.000 in 1915 to less than 1o.50O.o0o ten years later.

 In collection of ?20 Babylonian tablets, given to Cornell university by H. l. Patten of Chicago. is a marriage contract of the first dynas- ty drafted on an earthen cone in cunieform characters, which sets forth that:
 "Sinnaya, the son of Sin-ikisham. has taken as his wife Lamazum. the daughter of Ibku. Should Lamazum say to her husband Thou are not my husband and should her chill dren say to their father Thou are not our father they will lose claim to all possessions and pay one-half mana of silver"
 The document also names four persons who have been adopted as heirs of Sinnaya and states that house, field, orchard. office and furniture of every kind he has given
 
 to them" Eight witnesses signed the contract, which is dated in the month of Azagga, the year in which Samsu-iluna, the king made a brazen standing object decorated with Representations of mountains and rivers"

NUMBER 0f FISH | INLAkES IS LESS
Science Trying to Find Why They Ars PeVG

Washington. Feb. 2l N1A con- centrated effort to restore the rapid ly dwindling fisheries of the Great Lakes will be made this year by the United States bureau of fisheries with the cooperation of such other agencies as are able to help.
 In the last few years, despite an enormous increase in the use of fishing gear to maintain the sup ply. the catch from Lake Erie. which produces about half of the total taken from all of the Great Lakes has declined at an alarming rate. Figures compiled by Lewis Rad cliffe, deputy commissioner of the bureau. show that the annual catch of commercially valuable fish in this lake, which. being relatively shallow and having marshy banks. h par ticularly well suited to their produc- ton. has dropped to less than 10 pounds to the acre.
 It has been demonstrated at the bureaus biological station at Fair port, Ia., that 27o pounds of blue gills can be produced to the acre. while the open South Channel grounds of Cape Cod yield, without cultivation. 122 pounds of valuable fish and the Lake Pepin section of the Mississippi river 145 pounda
 It was with this situation in mind that Commissioner Henry O'Malley, called 2 meeting this month at Cleveland of state and institutional scientists interested in tho Lake Erie problem. to precede the session at Lansing. Mich. of the International Fisheries Conservation conference of the Great Lakes. comprising state and Canadian officials.
 As a result of the Cleveland meet ing, Mir. O'Malley hopes to see . coordination of the efforts of tho state and private investigators and the developments of a cooperative program which will enable the vari- ous scientists working in different parts of the lake to help each other toward a complete analysis of the problem.
 The bureau, depending on other institutions to conduct vital biologi- cal investigations because of tnsuffi- ciency of funds to do the work itself. plans to concentrate on determining the present state of the Lake Erie fisheries, the rate of depletion. the

Corpus Christi. Tex. Feb. 24. R- Thwarted in four efforts to snuff out blazing fire in the Saxet Con- pany gas well near here, Tex Thorn ton. experienced oil and gas well fire fighter. will try his "ace in the hole" treatment of nitroglycertn and . flood.
 A huge earthen reservoir. four feet high and two acres square. is being built as close as possible to the blazer. which is consuming more than $:4.OO0 worth of com mercial gas daily and which has blazed since January l9 with a loss already of more than $50o.0o0 in crude oil.
 The basin will be pumped full of water. Then Thornton will don his asbestos suit and creep to the era ter's edge with a large shot of ni- troglycerin.
 With perfect synchronism the reservoir will be cut near the we'll and as the flood of water pours in Thornton will huri in the explosive.
 The theory is that the nitro glycerin will snuff out the blaze and the water will cool the crater with sufficient speed to prevent the spouting gas from catching fire again.
 The blaze has been quenched four times previously. but only for @ split second. as the fiery heat in the crater ignites the gas again im- mediately.
 Thornton has peered into the seething depths several times and reports that the sides are lined with glass, the fierce heat having fluxed the sand and earth into a glass formation.
 This has stopped the we'll from enlarging itself, and hope has been abandoned that it would choke it. self off with falling debris. The crater is about 100 feet deep and several hundred feet across.
 The we'll caught fire after 1t had blown in and started crater. Fly ing stones which clinked against steel pipes struck spark that ig- nited the wild gas. and the "one- ring" circus, with the sky as a canopy. was on.
 Viewed from a ten mile distance across the flat prairie at night, the pillar of fire presents a contrast in colors and shapes. Variances of pressure cause the tongues of flame to leap far into the sky or to fall back, constantly changing shape as fantastic and fleeting designs are created.
 Colors range from blue to red and gray as the quality of the gas changes, and ofttimes a pillow of

1t just goes to show what this part
of the country thinks of a Democrat,
more especially of delegate to a
Democratic convention. It's only been
a week since the band the Mayor, the
Town Council and citizenry and the
other couple Democrats around here
escorted Bill Browning to the railway
station to board his special train to
the Democratic convention. Now, this
is the point we want to make, and at
the same time want to be awfully
careful not to let Bill think that we
noticed it, and furthermore at the
same time not to let Bill know it him
self, but this is what happened: Moth
ing at all when he returned. Why
doggone it, even the couple Democrats
weren't at the train to greet him when

he came back. The worst feature OF
it is that the train, on its way to the
convention, arrived here at an I'M
earthly hour during the night and
when it returned it came in at
the most convenient time of the day.
