 ADVICE FOR LONG LIFE

PARIS, Sept. 2.-Breathe regular ly; eat less meat and more vege- tables. Wine is an excellent tonic, but hard liquor is poison"
 These. are some of the maxims of Dr. Alexander Gueniot, 98 year old member of the French Acad- emy of Medicine, which recently celebrated his fiftieth year as a member of the institution.
 Dr. Gueniot believes that an or dinary person might normally live to be 100 if he would exercise pru- dence and temperament and above all if he would increase his oxygen consumption.
 His theory is that the ordinary human being takes in only ont fourth of. the quantity of good pure air he requires for daily vel being.

 CHILEAN SHIPS
 ARE IN MUTINY
Officers Are Held Prison ers-Ultimatum Sent
 on Salary Cut

COQUIMBO, Sept 2.--Six fight ing ships of the Chilean fleet are today in the hands of mutinous crews and their officers are being held prisoners until the Govern ment agrees to cancel the sched- uled reductions in pay.
 A group of noncommissioned of ficers are directing the activities of the fleet in the harbor from the bridge of the flagship Latorre.
 The non commissioned officers have issued an ultimatum calling on the Government to abandon salary cuts within 48 hours.
 The mutiny aboard the vessels of the Chilean fleet began yes- terday when crews overpowered the officers and forced them to sign the ultimatum and forward it to the Government at Santiago.
 Dispatches from Santiago, re- ceiyed here this afternoon, said the Cabinet had met and decided to put down the movement of the fleet men believing the entire nation will lend support It is con- sidered the incident, according to the Santiago dispatches, has nc political significance and was linn ited to protests against salary re- auctions.

AHUES CREDITS
 0'M ALLEY WITH RESTORING RUNS
Veteran Canneryman Con vinced Commissioner
 Vindicates Policies

The sustained, large runs of pink salmon in Southeast Alaska during the past two seasons are entirely due to the conservation measures adopted and carried out by Henry O,Molley, United States Commissioner of Fisheries, de- clared Capt. O. E. Ahues, Libby McNeil & Libby's Southeast Alaska superintendent of operations.
 He is making his final inspection trip of the season, coming here this morning from Taku Harbor and leaving early this afternoon for his headquarters at Craig.
 Fine Packs Made
 The Taku Harbor plant had a pack of approximately 129,000, and at Craig l28,OO0 cases were packed this season. Both set new plant records. The pack is being prepar- ed for shipment and company yes sels will call sometime this month to load cargoes and take members of the crews to the States.
 The proof of the efficacy of Commissioner OM lley's admins tration of the fisheries, said Capt. Ahues, is not alone in the output of the canneries, which by them selves do not mean great deal. But the packs together with the salmon-filled streams full of spawn ing fish are indisputable evidence that the regulations of the Con- missioner have built up de pendable source of supply for the Territory's greatest industry.
 Is Well-DOne Job
 Capt. Ahues characterized this as a well-done work. And he is cap- able of passing judgment if prac- tical experience can qualify one to be a judge. He is a veteran of the salmon canning industry, most if not all of his connection with it having been in Southeast Alaska extending from Yakutat south to Ketchikan.
 He operated the Libby cannery at Yakutat, and before that pioneer plant in Lynn Canal. He made a great record at Taku Harbor and two years ago was put in charge of his company's operations in the entire Panhandle.
 For a great many years we took fish out of water with making any effort to put any back to take their place. I have seen seiners empty the waters at the mou h s of

raiser for agriculture, call on mel"
 Dickinsons work was of the thoughtful, conservative type. He fought for the McNary -Haugen bills as long as there was hope they might escape the celebrated Coo lidgc vetoes, then favored the ex- port dcbenture and finally support ed the agricultural marketing act.
 In his fight to supplant Senator Steck, Dickinson stood sturdily by the Farm Board and it's emergency wheat stabilization. He comes back to Congress to defend the board against it's enemies and to advance an administration program aimed at keeping the threatened re-writ- ing of the agricultural market act ing the hands of it's friends.

Dickinson Trained in House for Agricultural Battles
 He'll Curry On m Senate
By FRANK I. WELLER GA. P. Farm EditOr

WASHINGTON, Sept. "A man credited with many battles for agri- culture will head the. defense of ad- ministration principles in the Sen ate when the Seventy-second Con- gress convenes in December.
 A "hell raiser" for agriculture was the late Speaker Longworth's description of L. J. Dickinson, who, after 12 successive years in the House, comes back to the National Capital and the Junior Senator from Iowa and successful opponent of Daniel F. Steck, Democrat.
 Dickinson's agricultural predilic- tions date back to his birth in 1873 on a farm in Lucas county Iowa, where his earliest recollections are of hoes and horses and, subsequent ly, of gang blows and the corn binders which turned out the ne- cessary capital for his education In law at Cornell college.
 A practicing attorney whose ad- monitions for alliance to the Re- publican Party elevated him to Congress in 1918, Dickinson reach ed Washington just in time to get both feet right in the middle of farm relief legislation.
 Long before he became titular head of the house farm bloc he had quit trying to count the num- Der of farm bills he had intro duced.
 He rose to Chairmanship of the Subcommittee of the House Appro- priations Committee which handled all federal appropriations for agri- culture and his best known work was with the. farm bloc.
 It was near the close of the Sey- enty-first Congress that Speaker Longworth said, Dick, if you ever want an affidavit on being he'll
