men to feeding deer, elk and other wild animals threatened with star vation. Some day the Alaskan reindeer industry will supply $3,- 100000 worth of meat and pelts annually, Dr. Nelson says.
 One of Dr. Nelson's greatest vic- tories came with establishment of the migratory bird treaty for the protection of birds in the United States and Canada. Many organi- cations had asked for it and Dr. Nelson became the champion of the present law under which the treaty became operative. It is ad- ministered by the biological survey
 There now are 30 bird refuges in the country, principally for species native to various sections. The $8 100000 Congress has authorized for the next 10 years is expected to take care of migratory wilc fowls. There are expected to be 125 refugees established within the next three or four years.

WALL STREET POOLS
 HAVE DULL SEASON

Profitable operations have been conducted in a selected assortment of aviation, business appliances, chemical, food, merchandising and public utility issues.
 But in the parlance of Wall Street the general market has not been getting anywhere. High mon- ey rates are blamed because it is difficult to get people to buy stocks yielding in most cases. less than five per cent and force them to pay from eight to 15 per cent for the privilege of carrying them on the margin.
 Pools, most of whom operate on borrowed money, find the cost pro- hibitive, particularly. when they are unable to attract public fol- lowing.

EVA RABL.EN CHANGES HER MURDER PLEA
Former Alaska Wom a n Says She Is Guilty
 Sentenced to Life

SONORA, Cal, June 5.--MrS. Eva Rablen has pleaded guilty to pois- oning her husband, Carroll Rab- len as he sat in his automobile outside of Futile Town dance hall on April g, and has been sen fenced to life imprisonment at San Quentin Prison, with no recom- mendation for parole.
 Mrs. Rablen, Mail Order Bride" admitted putting poison into a cup of coffee she took to her husband, who was a war veteran, while he waited outside of the dance hall in his car.
 l Judge J. T. B. Warne said the only reason the death penalty was not exacted was the testimony of an alienist. that Mrs. Rablen had the mentality of a 10-year-old child.
 The plea of guilty puzzled the officials as the woman had stead fastly maintained she was inno- cent.
 Mrs. Rablen is said to be a form CT Alaska resident.

DETROIT, June 5.--Pools in mo- tor stocks recently have encountered hard sledding, except in the case of Packard and a few others where aviation or other special develop ments gave the glamor of specula- tive appeal
 While automobile output and sales have been maintained at a high rate, authorities point out, competition in the industry is un- usually keen and some of the first quarter reports have been rather disappointing.
 Several successful pools have been organized in the motor accessory shares, several of which have been marked to new high level at the same time, that the automobile stocks were slipping to low levels.

WASHINGTON. June Slight million dollars of government funds will be spent by the Bureau of Bio- logical Survey in the next 10 years for development of refugees for mi gratory wild fowls.
 It will be one of the greatest con- servation projects in history, but the genius who gave more than half normal lifetime to make it and other works, of wild life pres ervation possible, will be out of the picture.
 Few will know that Dr. Edward W. Nelson, quietly writing about birds and mammals for the edifi- cation of future generations, was the instrumentality through which the biological survey spends S1 1,500,- 900 a year to protect beneficial forms of wild life and control the harmful forms.
 Two years ago he turned the helm over to Paul G. Redington and now, in his seventy-fourth year he has retired from the service to continue his contributions to na- tural history.
 There are others who share hon. ors with D. Nelson in building the biological survey They were busy in Washington in 1877 while he was pushing a dog team across the tractless snows beyond the Arc tic Circle, making history explora- tions, and mapping large unexplored areas 20 years before the discovery of gold brought white men to the Yukon.
 They were laying the foundation of conservation during the IA years he was accommodating the most ex- tensive collection of birds and mammals ever made in Mexico and Guatemala.
 It was Dr. Hart Merriam, whom Di NCloOll oOSCCC0CQ co SilACl III 1916, who saw the necessity o1 turning the biological survey from an instrument of pure science into an economic organization. He ha6 accurately surveyed the bird, ami nal and insect life of the conti- nent, but it was Dr. Nelson who talked congress into helping finan. cially in putting the information into use.
 He told Congress he could mak, the biological survey a profit-mak, ing institution. It appropriated funds, and he set machinery t, work to control rodents whose an nual damage to property and crop was once estimated at $500 00O, ,00C pr. Nelson built up campaign against predatory animals and pu
