E5R0ES LOCATE
 SEA FISH SHOALS
 NEW USE FINDER
DEPTH AUTOMATICALLY REG ISTERED IN FEET OR FAITH
 OMS ON DIAL

WASHINGTON, Sept, 26, (P)-- Fishing by echo is the latest contri- Ibution of science for searching out sea life.
 Recent tests carried out in fish ing trawlers will enable vessels to find and maintain contact with fish shoals by means of the sonic depth finder, a device developed for sounding ocean depths.
 Instead of fishing fleets steaming to fishing areas and losing much time traWling at various depths be- fore shoals are located, echo gear makes it possible to take soundings lin less than two seconds.
 When a shoal is located, the trawl can be kept at the correct depth, which varies as the shoal moves, and can shape it's course along the path of the moving fish, according to Lewis Radcliff, acting commissioner of the bureau of fish cries.
 The apparatus consists of a steel diaphragm fixed to bottom of the ship and insulated by sound proof packing from the hull. The diaphram is struck twice a second by an electric magnetic hammer and the sound travels down thru the water until it reaches the bot tom or is interrupted by shoal of fish.
 The echo, thrown back, is caught in a hydrophone and the depth calculated from the known speed of sound in water.
 The device has been perfected so the depth is automatically register ed in feet and fathoms on dial by the operator. The depth is read off to the skipper, who consults his chart to see what the depth should be at the particular spot. Ii 1t IS appreciably less, he knows that a shoal of fish has interrupted the sound and commences to trawl.
 Recent tests off the English coast, according to word from Con- sul w. F. Dotey, Newcastle-on- Tyne, have shown the new echo fishing to be especially successful in locating herring shoals.

Street-Car Union Men
of Picking S ize Old
Temple for Their u Sc

PEKING, Nov. 29.-An illustra-
ton in a small way, of the advan-
tage given the Chinese workers by
the preoccupation of the Kuomin-
tang with internal wrangles between
the niilitarist leaders, is seen in the
seizure here of the ancient temple
of Tiehshansu by the union Of street
car workers, who are going to use it
as school for their children.
The union took up seriously the
clause Of the Kuomintang program
remaining from the time when it
was to some degree following a line
of revolutionary struggle, which
said that superstition must be eradi-
Gated and formally decided to take
over the temple. The high priest of
the temple raised a great howl when
he heard of the decision and locked
the temple gates. But the union men
simply broke down the gates, drove
out the monks, took the ancient
idols which had been worshiped for
centuries to the street where they
smashed them to pieces and made a
bonfire of them. The monks have
petitioned the Bureau of Public
Safety to restore them the temple,
but so far the union of street car
men have it.

In other words, instead of the

There has not been such a drastic

This fascist, national economic

not since United States imperialism

a vast aggregation of capitalists and

pose: (1) war on the working class,
to transfer the burdens of the crisis
on the backs of the toilers, and Wei

antagonisms engendered by the Sc
