SISTERS AT HOME
WITH SEA DEN|zENS.
Daughters of Scientist-In-
ventor Have Many ThriII->
ing Experiences.

MENLO PARK. Calf. P)-"Chum-
ming around with dad" means for the
Douglass sisters, Florence and Ena,
striking up personal acquaintances with
many of the strange denizens Of the
deep. .
And while they're making pets OF
some of these underwater creatures,
their father, Leon F. Douglass, Is likely
to be around photographing them with
the pertscope camera he invented to
further his hobby Of submarine photog-
raphy.
Waters Home to Them.
The daughters Of the wealthy scien-
tist- Inventor are as much at home un-
der water, with or without helmets,
as are the average young women OF
their social position at bridge teas.
Florence Douglass recent adventur-
GUS exploit with huge octopus which
she engaged in combat in q large tank
while Mr.. Douglass took motion pictures
showing the movements and manner OF
attack of the belligerent creature was
only one Of many thrilling experiences
she has had.
On this occasion the strength Of the
octopus was underestimated and four
men had to go to her aid to disentangle
her from the animals many-armed
clutch. Miss Douglass emerged smiling,
however, and not at all unnerved by
the experience.
Miss Douglass. Weighing 40 pounds,
landed unaided a Marlin swordfsh
weighing 108 pounds.
On a recent expedition sponsored by
the Smithsonian Institution the girls
made numerous descents in Atlantic
Ocean and Caribbean Sea depths and
swan about in shark infested waters
until their father forbade them to.
Shortly afterward a 650-pound shark
was captured near where they had been
swimming.
Camera Uses Periscope.
Mr. Douglass built his first periscope
camera about q year and half ago and
has since worked to perfect 1t.
It operates on the principle Of sub
marine pertscope, inverted. The picture
box, waterproof, can be lowered below
the surface and several lengths OF light
tube attached to it so that the operator
of the camera from a boat above can
find his range and snap his pictures
at depths Of 20 to 80 feet. There are
rejecting mirrors inside the tube.
Upon the completion Of a cable Is
miles in length an attempt will be made
next January by the Smithsonian In
stitution to drag sea life from Atlantic
Ocean depths of nearly five miles, and
Mr.. Douglass plans to take his new
camera with him.
| Whether the Misses Douglass will be
| members Of the next expedition has not
been determined.

The Hendersonville Bar associa-
ton at meeting yesterday after
noon passed a resolution opposing
the passage of an act now before
the general assembly and provid-
ing for the incorporation of tho
State Bar association.
The act was proposed by Repre-
sentative Martin, of Buncombe
county, and the movement was
approved by the State Bar asso~
citation in convention last summer.
The resolution protests the en-
actment of the bill and provides
for copies of the resolution to be
sent to Senators J. o. Bell, OF
Henderson, and Slower p. Duna-
gan, of Rutherford, and to Rep
resentative T. r. Ray. of this
county.
The text of the resolution is as
follows:
Whereas, the North Carolina
State Bar Association as an or
ganization has done much to cul-
tivate the science of jurispru-
dence, promote and reform the
law. and facilitate the administra-
ton of justice; and whereas. we
believe that its progress and sue
cess has been attributable largely
to the fact that it is voluntary
association; and whereas, there IS

Sir Wnltrr lIntrl

y RALEIGH, Feb. 4.-Rocks and
breakers are ahead for the gen
Gral assembly and 4 good many
are already seeinr definite signs
Sf another deadlock developing
between the senate and the house,
similar to that in 1881 and along
the same general lines. For in adj
dition to widely divergent views in
the senate and house with regard
10 taxes and fiscal policy general
~ that threaten to cause wide
meech as the session progresses,
the situation in the house is fur
liner aggravated by political con-
S,dcrations and alignmentS that
bark back to the Democratic pri-
maies of last June and July.
There is already a definite ten
dency to fight these primaries all
C. Ter again in the house and indi-
cations so far are that the sup
rsrters of Lieut.. Gov. R. T. Foun-
tain, who was defeated for the
Democratic nomination for COVER
nor, arc in the ascendency i'll the
House.
So far this Fountain faction
j., the house has been more or
less quiescent and has been CO.
operating with the others on what
httle amount of important state
wide legislation has been before
the house. 1t appeared for a while
that this element had been more

address of Gov. J. C. B. Ehring-
haus, in which ne recommended
almost everything that Lieut.. Gov.
Fountain had advocated in the pri-
mary campaigns and still later by
T. recommendations Of the joint
G5infhi Gee an government reor-
garization. Friends of Governor
Ehringhaus were certain that
there could be no cause for fric-
ton, because of his advocacy of
almost everything urged by Foun-
tain, and felt confident that all
the wounds opened during the
campaign had been completely
healed.
But there have been forces at
work back Of the scenes ever since

ties of the primary campaign. 1t
is now apparent that many of the
moves made so far in both houses
have been dictated from offices
occupied by elected state officials
who were never in sympathy with
the preceding administration, who
did not support the present gov
ernor and who are not supporting
him now. Those here who know
what has been and is going on
back of the scenes are convinced
that this group of state office
holders is slowly but surely build
ing up an anti-administration bloc
that is likely to cause Governor
Ehringhaus good deal Of trou-
BILE before the present session is
over and call for the display of all
the leadership of which he is ca
pable.
None of this has actually come
out into the open yet, although

pings of it from time to time. 1t

and among many other objection
able features a provision in said
bill to make it a misdemeanor for
any member of the Bar to prac-
tice his profession without main
tanning his membership therein
and a provision to make the pro-
posed corporation an agency OF
the State of North Carolina with
powers, which in our opinion
should be exercised only by the
Courts and Legislature; and
whereas, we believe that the en-

detrimental to the best interests

ly impair. if not utterly destroy,
the usefulness of the North Caro-

Therefore, be it resolved: That
