the program which she was sent
 out to accomplish. The work ot
 the Dorothy during the last two
 months was to search for the
 younger stages of halibut and the one and two year groups, by means
 Of otter travis. The scientific staff
 hoped to find schools of these
 young halibut and thus open up a new avenue of approach to sev- eral of the problems which the Commission have to face, one of which is that of the great flunc- tuattonS in the production of young fish, fluctuation which has been shown recently to apply to flat fish.
 Observations of the conditions of the banks at any given time must ultimately take into account the big and the small runs of sockeye to the Fraser. Proper reg ulation of the banks will, we hope, assure the production of the nec- essary number of young fish, and when the Commission is able to locate the schools of young and properly gauge their abundance, measures will be at hand to check up on the efficiency of the regu- lation of the fishery.
 "The study of the young fish is also important from the stand point of the work the Commission has already conducted upon mi grafton. It will be recalled how Dr. Gilbert made use of the marks on the scale of the salmon to de- ternine the rapidity of growth in both fresh and salt waters In the same manner, in the case of the halibut, there is every reason to beleive that a definite rate of growth characterizes the young fish in different localities, and it is believed that we will be able to detect on the scales and the ear- bones of the adults the general region from which they came just as Dr. Gilbert traced the lake origin of the various races of sock eye in the Fraser. The young fish, we anticipate, will show more sharply marked raical differences than do the adults.
 "The study of young halibut is also important from another standpoint. The time is coming when small halibut will find ready market as fillets is the most recent and popular way of mark eting the catch of several food fishes. They make the choicest fillets and, as soon as otter trawl- ing develops on this coast, we shall have to face the question of the advisability of allowing capture of large numbers of very young hal ibut with travis. When this ques- tion comes up it will be necessary for us to not only know where the very young halibut exist in num- bers and also their relation to the class of fish now known and mar keted as baby chickens
 By the present use of the Dor othy' we had also hoped to find some extremely young pelagic halibut. Previous efforts indicat- ed a very considerable drift dur ing the very early stages; that their young might drift much fur ther west than the spawning grounds in the Gulf of Alaska and there gives rise to the small one or two-year old halibut. Un- fortunately the recent cruises of the Dorothy have not succeeded in getting as far west as had been planned. The trips have not been as successful as we had hoped.

Placement of house with respect to
the direction in which it faces and also
with respect to location of shade trees
is a problem few buyers and builders
really understand, says the Home Own
ers' Institute.
In the East people favor having the

Central portion of the United States the
popular idea is that a home fronting

Central parts, a north front is thought
next best, followed by the south 'front.'
age, with the western outlook generally
condemned.
AS respects shade, the average person
begins to improve lot by setting trees
In the parking and along the front
edge Of the ground. The shade that is
expected to shield the rear of the house
is not set, because the exact boundaries
of the house are not yet determined.
AS an Illustration of the way it works,
the first ground one builder bought on
which to built house for sale faced
the west; there were handsome, largl
trees, of 20 years growth, but none in
the rear, with the result the houses
were shaded from the sun in the part
Of the day when shade is really neces-
Sary--the afternoon.
Go along any street with good shadl
trees and note how few homes have
large trees at the rear. Now if tho
frontage is toward the east, most
the shade is on that side, leaving the
whole western exposure to be baked
from noon to Sundown. Again, If the
house faces the east the kitchen where
the housewives prepares the evening
meal is on the hot side when she has
this hot job to perform. With the west
front, the opposite is the case.
The frontage toward the setting sun
has another advantage. The driveway
should always be on the north or cas-;
side Of the house, for two reasons: %
II on the south or west the reflected
heat in the afternoon renders the rooms
on that side unbearable: (2) the north
IS the side where coal windows are usI-
ally placed. Now, with the west front
the driveway can be where 1t ought to

Placement of House in Relation to Trees

If there is plenty of shade all around
the house the direction it faces makes
little difference. though in the northern

heat wastage in Winter. The old east

RECORD IN OIL OUTPUT.
October Petroleum Product Shown

By the Associated Press.
The highest monthly output of petro-
1eum ever recorded in the United States,
1882 600 barrels, occurred during Oc-
tober
In reporting the production yesterday
che United States Bureau of Mines said
the October output represented an in
crease Of $4,000 barrels over September
and Of SO 900 barrels over October, 1927.
approximately half of the October in
crease over the previous month was
due to the enlarged output of Okla
homa oil fields, the balance being dis
tributed over other fields in the coun-
try.
Though consumption Of all forms Of
Hehned petroleum increased In October,
total stocks of oil in all forms at the
end Of the month showed an increase
OF 226,000 barrels over the amount held
at the beginning Of the period.
Gasoline production was reduced
slightly during October and there was
fall in exports Of this product The bu-
reau also noted that gasoline stocks at

LEFTHANDERS CAN
TOUCH SOUTHPAWS
Stars of Olden Days Could
Hit All Pitching.

This recently introduced baseball
practice of switching lineups to put In
as many right-hand batters as possible
against left-hand pitchers Is sheer
bunk, If you will believe the old
timers.
The big leaguers Of the day of Kee-
Ter, Jajoie and Wagner were never
switched around, no matter who was
pitching, and they hit just as hard and
as often as the pampered athletes of
today, they'll point out.
Take, for instance, Mike Donlin, who
is quoted by Bozeman Bulger in the
Farm Journal Mike, who was about
as good as they come when he was
Giant fifteen years ago, thinks the
modern ballplayers are suffering from
a 'southpaw complex"
"You see," says Mike. I'VE didn't
know in the old days that we were
supposed to be weak against these
cockeyes. Most any of these fellows
today, | think, could hit left-handed
pitching if they hadn't been influenced
by fool talk.
Bulger, himself, who has followed
the big leagues as sports writer for
more than a generation, declares that
twenty or thirty years ago such
procedure would have been hooted at"
Most of the managers" he says,
"will agree that the belief that a left
hand batter cannot hit sOuthpaw Is
largely psychological, but 1t has be-
come so fixed in the minds of some
batters that most all of the clubs are
what are technically known as switch
hitters.' Leslie Mann, veteran of
several clubs, has earned his living
for years simply by his ability to muir
der left-handers. He is used for prac-
tically no other purpose, although he
is good outfelder and great base
runner"
There may be point of logic, Bull
ger admits, in the fact that right-hand
batters are more effective against
southpaws because they do most of
their hitting against right-hand pitch
ing. That being the hardest pitching
for them to hit, they are consequently
more effective against left-handers.
But to offset that argument, his
Farm Journal article points out that
great players of the Speaker, Cobb,
Ruth or Collins caliber, whose pres
ence is necessary to the team on the
defensive as well as the offensive, have
refused to admit any such weakness
and, consequently, have gone ahead
hitting left-handers with all the eff
fectiveness that they apply to the
right-handed brethren.

Berghammer Shouted in
Hank O'Dav's Good Ear

Hank O'Day, National league UNI
pire, is one of the most interesting
figures in the game today, relates Al
Demaree. Hank is slightly hard Of
hearing and while this may be an adj
vantage to an umpire, it has led to
many an amusing situation.
O'Day managed the Cincinnati Reds
for while few years back. Some
of the players used to take advantage
of Hanks bad ear, and, sitting on his
deaf side, would indulge in some
choice personalities at Hanks expense.
Hank, of course, couldn't hear them
and it was great fun for the other
players.
One day Marty Berghammer, second
baseman, sat down beside O'Day, and,
winking at the other players, shouted,
$50 take jump in the river, you old
fathead."
Quick as flash Hank turned around
and yelled, go take jump in your
self and see how you like it,"
Marty nearly fell off the bench. He
had sat down on the wrong side Of
Hank and yelled in the good ear.
Players used to pull the same stunt
on Frank Chance, the old Chicago
leader, who had been "beaned' so
many times tha6 it affected the hear
ing in one ear.

party fell in with another emigrant
train, commanded by Edwin Bryant,
consisting of 9S fighting men, 90 wom-
en-, 46 wagons and $50 cattle. The
addition of the Bonner party to this
caravan made it so large that IL was
divided into two parts for cOnven-
fence in travelling and an organization
with the proper officers to direct its
affairs was formed. By the middle
of June the emigrant train was max
ing its way through Nebraska and
nearing Fort Laramie, which they
reached safely and stopped to repair
their wagons.
Although several Of the party (main-
ly the older ones) died and were bur-
led along the trail, the party reached
Fort Bridger without undue disaster
Then when it was near the Great Salt
lake the emigrant train divided, the
larger portion deciding to keep to
the old road TO California while the
Dohners, Reeds and many others, 81
in all, made the fatal decision to at
tempt what was called the Hastings
Cutoff, which passed along the south
ern edge of the lake and was said to
shorten the route to California by 300
miles before it rejOined the Fort Hall
emigrant road on the Humboldt river
in Nevada.
The Bonner party soon found that
it had made a mistake, for the emf
grants were seven days in reaching
Weber canyon and then found that
they must make their own trail by cut
ting their way through heavy under
brush and making a road as they
went. While they were struggling
through the Hasting Cutoff they were
joined by the Graves party, another
Illinois group which had set out from
their homes near what is now Lacon.
ILL.,, at about the same time as the
Bonner party had started. The Graves
party consisted of w. h. Graves, his
wife and eight children, his son-in-law,
Jay Fosdick, and young man named
John Snyder, and they were to play
a prominent part in the tragedy that
was so soon to follow. No less dra-
matte than the stories of Eliza Dom
ner and Virginia Reed is the account
of the Bonner tragedy as given from
the viewpoint of the Graves family
and recorded in an old book Records
of the Olden Time, or Fifty Years on
the Prairies" by Spencer Ellsworth
and printed in Lacon, ILL.,, in 1880.
After making their way at last
through Weber canyon, the combined
party found itself facing a desert
They had been told it was only 40
miles wide and they took what they
thought was an ample supply of water.
But the desert proved to be more than
twice that distance across and for
two nights and day they struggled

fering from heat and thirst by day
and from cold at night. When the
