A jewel mys- tery and two murders in a weird, mysterious haunted house are a few of the outccmes of the bit of premeditated robbery Graves car- ries cut in his attempt to prove to his charming Miss Blanc that Havenhurst is not as quiet as she thinks it isl But once they are involved in it, Holt and Graves go about solving the baffling mys- teries in manner that never lets the interest of audiences lag.

FOUR WEIRS TO BE BULL I THIS
 YEAR BY BUREAU
Central and Western Alas ka Streams to Be Pro-
 tected by Weirs

Four new cou:1ting weirs will be installed in salmon spawnin g streams in Alaska by the United States Bureau of Fisheries this season, according to an announce ment just made by the bureau from it's Washington headquarters and made known here today. This will bring the total of such con- struction to 3l.
 New weirs will be installed this year, if possible before the salmon runs begin, at Bear Creek at the head of Resurrection Bay; Jackpot Bay on the west side of Prince William Sound; and Egegik and Kvichak Rivers in the Bristol Bay areas.
 Millions of salmon, enroute from the ocean waters to spawning beds, are counted through weirs each year. Nearly all of the more im- portant spawning streams either have weirs installed or will have in the near future. This method of insuring escapement adequate to seed the larger beds is regarded as the most practicable ever used by the Bureau of Fisheries, and is spreading as rapidly as it's funds will permit.

TWO AlaSKaQ SUaLlOnS or the United States Weather Bureau will participate in the International Polar Year Observations. it was announced today by R. c. Mize. Meteorological in Charge of Alaska work of the bureau Fairbanks and Point Barrow are the two to be designated.
 c. J. McGregor, in charge of the Nome station, will be tempor- arily detached from there and sent to handle the observations at Point Barrow, and H. J. Thomp- son, formerly attached to the lo- cal station and now at Fair banks, will direct the observa- tions there.
 MT. McGregor will leave Nome shortly and proceed to Seattle to assemble equipment and supp lies needed in the observations which, MT. Mize said, will be made both on and above the earth's surface. It is expected to use both pilot balloons and aircraft in the observations. Temperature and wind records, atmospheric pressure and other phenomena will be observed. Tests will be made at varying attitudes up to 16,500 by planes equipped with proper recording in struments.
 The plans for the Fairbanks work have not been definitely drawn up, MT. Mize said. Inquiries are now being made as to costs of aircraft so that estimates can be made of the cost of that por- ton of the program. The obser- vations will extend over a period of 13 months, August, 1882 to Aug ust, 1883, inclusive.
 Kimban Describes Work
 What the Polar Year is, was re- gently described by Dr. H. fl. Kimball, Senior Meteorologist of the Weather Bureau, as follows:
 The polar year is a particular year selected by the nations of the world which have weather services for stationing meteorclogists at var ious places in the polar regions at the same time, for the purpose of making simultaneous obserya- tions and records of meteorological conditions prevailing at a given instant of Greenwich time at the various stations four times a day throughout the 13-month period In addition to the eye readings of instruments at each of the widely scattered stations, each station will also have automatic recording instruments, which wlli keep a continuous check record Of the various weather clements. All told, there will be about 40 stations. and for the most part these will be n Greenland, Ice land. Canada, Alaska, and Siberia and the islands north of Siberia. August is made the beginning of the polar year because 1t IS that
 
 month which offers the most favor able weather conditions for at least ,noss of the meteorological parties in travelling to and coming home from the polar stations The coming polar year has been called the Jubilee International Polar Year for the reason that it comes Just 50 years after the first internationl polar year, 1882-83.
 More than half a century ago Lieut.. Karl Weyprecht, of the Austrian Navy, outlined plan for simultaneous physical observations in polar regions. in which the governments of all the different nations should participate. He did not live to see his plans carried

Out, UuI III blle year August, looz, to August, 1883, inclusive, 14 ex- petitions under the auspices of 12 different nations cooperated in geophyscial researches which in- cluded meteorology, atmospheric electricity, and terrestrial magnit- tions.
 New Problems Arise
 With the development of aviation and radio transmission, new prob lenls have arisen which call for a more intensive study of condi- tions in polar regions, and again the only practicable way of carry ing out these studies seems to be through international cooperation in a second polar year program Of study of polar conditions, especially atmospheric.
 The suggestion for a second international polar year 50 years after the first, and having much the same object, was discussed and approved at a meeting of the h. temational Meteorological Organi- zaticn at Copenhagen in 1929. A commission was named, of which Doctor La Cour, of Denmark, was made chairman, to perfect plans. The proposal was indorsed by the International Geodetic and Geo. physical Union at its Fourth Gen eral Assembly at Stockholm in August, 1880, and the cooperation of the union, was assured.
 Immediately after the Stockholm meeting the commission for the second polar year met at Lenin- grad, Union of Socialist Soviet Republics, and outlined a pro- gram of work under the three following subdivisions: (a) Mag neic work; Cb) auroral work; and Co meteorological work.
 Has Practical Value
 The meteorological work has been planned to produce results of im- mediate practical value, and es- pecially for forecasting the weather in middle attitudes. A network of stations is to be maintained north of latitude 55 from August, 1931, to August, 1883, inclusive. Most of these will be in comunica- tion by wireless with the meteoro- logical services of the Northern Hemisphere, so that the observa- tions can be entered at once on Northern Hemisphere weather maps. A similar system of stations on a lesser scale is planned for the south polar region.
 In middle and equatorial lati- tudes, at selected stations, the obs ervational program vii be intenSi- fled. and copies of automatic re- cords and of eye readings from these stations. as well as from polar stations, will be made avail able to, the meteorological services.
 Observations of upper-air condi- tionS are to be obtained in all lati- tudes by means Of balloons and airplanes, and from automatic ins- truments at mountain stations. Thus valuable records will be made avail able for future studies of the dyn- amical intersection between polar and equatorial air currents in middle latitudes, which are a dominating factor in producing the weather changes of these latitudes.i
 Foreign Expeditions
 While several foreign metecro- logical services are planning to send expeditions into the far north for the polar year., and especially to Greenland, Iceland. and to vari- ous islands in the Arctic Ocean, the United States will confine its activities to an expansion of the

Tdrdieu Repeats PROPOSALS

is directed. The only nation which
stands alone today in sharp contra

U. S. S. r. Tardieu's proposal for
injecting power into group of ma
tons and at the same time deflsting
another is the bray of jackss SIS of
decaying Imperialism, a desperate
attempt TO bolster up world capital
ism at the expense of the colonial
masses and by armed invasion Of the

In order to make clear to the
American imperialists that the pro-
posed world police force will not in
terfere with their unbridled exploita-
ton of colonies, the spokesman for
French Imperialism politely informs
his American capitalist friends that
"the French plan Is not rigid Not
in the least. "The strongly organized
community of the United States has
not prevented any American from
having his chance" says Tardieu.
MAY not the same be true in inter
national matters?"
War against the Soviet Union and
the right of the capitalist nations to
suppress and rob the colonial masses
by force of arms-these are the
peace plans" that are favored by
the imperialist delegates to the dis

Mondays session of the conference
brought forth nothing more startling
than a long windy speech from Sir
John Simon, spokesman for British
imperialism. He made no concrete
proposals for disarmament, said moth
ing of the war now on in China, but
declared that he saw hope in the
memorandum presented by the

"Armaments are symptoms of a
pathological condition" admitted Sir
John. But Sir John could offer nc
plan to remove the pathology-for
the pathology happens to be decay
ing capitalist economy. And Sir John
