sea life, decaying through the cen turies, form petroleum. Others think that oil comes from chemical reac- tions in the earth, just as minerals are supposedly formed. This has given rise to two principal theories. One is called organic, and the other is called inorganic.
 Those who do not believe that action of water on metallic carbides in the earth-form petroleum quote Stigand as an au- thority. He says:
 "The existence of improbably large quantities of metallic carbides, within access nthe earth, would be required, If oIf7y to suffice for originating the amount of petroleum which has been produced, as the amount of metallic carbides demanded is is very great in proportion to the petroleum that can be produced from them. Furthermore, the circumstances that large deposits of of bitumen or petroleum are only found in the stratified rocks, that the deposits found in the strata of younger age predominate, and that yer yfrequently barren porous beds are are intercalated in the petrolifer- ous beds, or the strata subjacent to an oil series do not contain petrol cum, all tend to constitute evidence contrary the supposition of deep seated origin" "-Ex.

GAME STOCKING PROGRAM
 MAKES GOOD HEADWAY

Satisfactory progress is reported ny the Alaska Game Commission in tits cooperative game and bearing animal stocking program, in which funds provided by the Alaska Legis- lature are mainly used. Beaver and lmuskrats have been planted at several likely places, elk in two localities, ;and buffalo in another.
 The biennial report of the Commis- ssion to the Legislature, which has just lbeen made public, recommends but few minor legislative changes in ex- listing acts, the most important of which is the continuation of uneX- ipended balances of previous appropri- cations so they will be available for expenditure after the appropriation lperiod has expired
 Another important recommendation lis the removal of the legislative re- sstrictions against starting more than tone project in. one division at the t' eiiiis yS ST~ ie 3"ii''o,A WY 'fi"' sa1i0 inhibition, 1fT at least two instances, prevented carrying out projects pre- wiously started and for which funds were actually available for continu- ;ance.
 The Commission began the bien- inium with total of S16,166.78 on hand. It expended during the two year period the sum of S6,392.07, leaving an unexpended balance of ss9,774.1. Since the game stolking lprogram was adopted by the Legisla- ,ture in 1925, the Commission has iplaeed beaver on the Kodiak --Afognak Handed group, on Kruzof island, elk ton Kruzof island and on Kodiak island, mhskrats on the Kodiak-Afog- anak group, and a herd of buffalo in ithe Fairbanks district.

Reasons why New Britain should have an isolation hospital. and the advantages of having one in . grow ing metropolitan district, were given today in talk by Dr. T. Eben Reeks, superintendent of the New Britain General hospital. before the Social Workers club. during :ee regular monthly lunchecA meeting held this noon at the Y. M. c. A.
 Dr. Reeks deplored the conditions now existing in this city regarding communicable disease, stating that the community has not advanced much during the past 50 years in caring for contagious diseases.

Warrington. April 10 R-Momen- l ous and trying events in the his tory of the American republic have been marked by its extraordinary sessions of congress.
 Either an international or do mestic crisis confronted the govern ment when each was called. They dealt with the grave problems of war and threatened conflicts, recon struction, national defense. govern ment finances. tariff, industrial de- precision and reciprocal agreements l with foreign governments.
 In each, the guiding hand of yis- toned American statesmen is seen as the moulder of the trend which set the destiny of the nation. The cool wisdom displayed by little re- membered patriots in the formative and chaotic periods of the govern ment is portrayed on the faded records of earlier congresses.
