American conference remains to be
seen, but the expression of its sympa-
thy with the proceedings had the eff
feet of assuring the State Department
of its friendly good will and co-opera-
tiOn
The conference has felt that 1t could
not in fairness to Argentina disregard
the prior claim of that country to at
tempt mediation if it so desired, both
because of its geographical position and
because of the fact that direct nego-
tiations between Paraguay and Bolivia
have been proceeding at Buenos Aires
under invitation of the Argentine gov
ernment.
The conference resolution urging
Paraguay and Bolivia toward friendly
settlement was confined to that form
because of the Argentine aspects of the
situation.

Shakespeare's Plays
Put Into Japanese

Translation into japanese Of the
complete works of Shakespeare. num-
bering "a different volumes, is the fruit
of 40 years labor by DR.. Yuzo Tsubou-
chi, better known by his pen name
Shoyo TSubouEhi, honorary professor Of
Waseda University in Toxic and Japan's
prominent dramatiSt and authority on
literature of the East and West.
In celebration of this event in Japa-
neSe literary circles the pupils of DR..
TSubouchi have planned the erection of
a dramatic library in the compound of
Waseda University. Work already has
been started on the library, first of its
kind in Japan, which is to be built on
an elaborate scale, including a stage
where plays may be performed.
The translation by DR.. TSubouchi Is
recognized as leaving nothing to be de-
sired. Neither has he omitted any word
nor added any which is not found in
the original. Yet the dramas he trans
lated leave no trace Of translation, but
are just like so many straight japanese
dramas. DIR. Tsubouchi started the
translations back in 1885, when he was
26 years old.
He began with Julius Caesar" but
was too young then to publish an ac-
curate translation. He gave up the first
attempt and retranslated the book
Again and again he did not like it, and
before the present volume was published
he repeated the work four times.

Chile Plans Move
To Reclaim Valley

Determination Of the Chilean gov
eminent to clean up the uninhabitable
Camarones Valley is seen In the an
nouncement of DR.. Thomas Aravena,
public health director, that he has
called upon the American Department
OF Commerce to lend him assistance.
Plagued for years by malaria mosqui-
toes, the large valley is inhabited only
by a few solitary mounted police, who
patrol this last frontier oasis in the
northern Chilean desert It is said to
be one OF the most fertile regions in
the country.
DR.. Aravena plans to dust" the
valley by airplane and has requested the
Department of Commerce to put him In
touch with American companies that
will undertake the project. The val
ley, which is TO- miles long and more
than a mile wide, will be used as a
ranch for cavalry horses of northern
troops.
The recent resumption of Chilean
Peruvian diplomatic relations has quiet
ed rumors that the valley will be de-
veloped as a concentration ground for
the army. It is the last strip of vege-
tation in northern Chile capable of sup
porting considerable force Of troops.

The Fish's Headstone.

The purpose of the white stone like
objects found in the interior of the
fish'S head has not been very definitely
determined, but most of the small boys
who catch fish think these stones are
lucky pieces and seek them for the
mere purpose of pocket pieces. 1t Is
generally agreed that these stones are
in some way connected with the flsh's
auditory faculties, but according to an
other theory they belong to the fish's
static sense" term referring to the
complex process by means of which
fishes abe enabled to maintain equilib-
rum in water. The stones are almost
entirely mineral compositions, being SOL
uble in weak acetic acid. They show
annular or periodic rings OF growth,
somewhat analogous to the annular
rings of trees. and are frequently used
to determine the age Of fishes.
