the hatcheries. Eighty cultural units
are maintained where fish egg collec-
tions are grown into fry and finger
ling-the formal names for young
fish. Cooperation Is extended to
States, clubs and other organiza-
tions, and to individuals wishing to
stock local waters. One important
phase Of the work makes this service
q sort Of piscatorial red cross which
rushes out on disaster relief, for res
cue work Is carried on In times Of
food. It has been found that re-
ceding waters leave millions Of hsh
stranded in pools. In order TO avoid
this loss the fish are collected and
restored to the parent streams or dis
tributed where they are needed.
More than q hundred million, among
them bass, sunhsh, crappie and
pickerel, have been rescued in q year.
Probably the most important service
to the commercial fisheries Is one
rendered by the once Of Scientific In
uuiry, where biological Investigators
are conducted. Experts are now able
to predict the size Of the yield OF fis4
during q season. These prognostica-i
tions enable the industries TO enlargeI
or cut down on their facilities forl
handling hsh and save them enormous
costs in overhead. This work Is 4
development Of the original progrand
Of the bureau, which was to study
depletion, conservation and agrt-
culture.
At the laboratories In Woods Hole,
Mass: Beaufort, N. c.; Seattle, Wash,
and Fairport. Iowa, and In temporary
establishments set up when and
where needed, studies are made into
the private lives Of marine and fresh
water fish and shellfish. Because Of
this research, what Is termed the
huctuation Of abundance has been
worked out so that predictions are
possible. The rate Of growth, time
and manner Of spawning, maturity.
habits Of the young, feeding habits,
migrations, breeding, and enemies, are
some of the items investigated.
Studies made in Louisiana recently
into the life, history and habits Of
the shrimp will make 1t possible to
protect this industry.
When Fishing Was Easy.
Fasteners are prone 70 forget that
when Capt. John Smith sailed up the
Potomac he was able to reach over
the side of his craft and pluck fish
from the water, that New England
waters once foamed with the salmon
runs, and that the sturgeon were
plentiful. Control measures to in
sure wise use of aquatic resources are
developed by the bureau to prevent
further depletion and subsequent loss
Of livelihood to thousands Of persons.
They are designed TO be productive,
not pruhibitive.
Had the unregulated killing Of the
Alaskan fur seal, or what every wom-
an cherishes as the real seal, been
permitted to continue. coats might
have been so rare as to be expensive
beyond the purses of all but the very
rich. In less than IS years Of reg
ulation by the bureau, the sup
ply Of fur seals has been increased
10 times and nearly $1,000 skins are
supplied the market in q year. Ap-
proximately IS per cent Of the worlds
supply Of fur seals Is found on the
Pribilof Islands in the Bering Sea.
Control Of this colony was assumed
by the Bureau of Fisheries in 1910,
with the result that it Is possible once
again for women to buy real seal
coats.

Municipal Regulation
Of Business in America
BY HARDEN COLFAx.

The first study Of municipal regu-
lation Of business In American cities
has been undertaken under the aus
pices of the Harvard University Bu-
reau for Research in Municipal Gov
ernment. This has been under way
for some months and. from the facts
as they are becoming known, It Is
evident that such a survey will be Of
considerable interest TO merchants
throughout the country. It H ex-
pected that the results Of this study
will be published in the near future.
The regulations of the N. r. A. and
certain State laws are becoming more
uniform and showing more and more
consistency in the relation of these
larger governmental units toward blisi-
ness.
Trade associations, Of course, have
been doing much to help formulate
city practices and observances In re-
lation to other regulations affecting
business. 1t has long been felt, how
ever, that consumers In our larger
municipal areas have been too much
at the mercy of groups and associa-
tions Of organized merchants, and that
q survey Of the many regulations af-
fecting business will be Of value not
only to the merchants themselves, but
to the general consuming public.
-
In the face Of the concentration Of
our population in the larger urban
centers, this is particularly important,
particularly when 1t In remembered
that about half the population Of the
United States lives within days ac-
cess of at least one city Of 1o0, 900 in
habitants or more.
Apparently there Is no uniformity
or great similarity in these regulations
for American cities, imposed on or
prescribed for merchants. Many OF
these regulations, moreover, viii not
bear the scrutiny Of the law.
What do the municipal govern
ments in cities Of $4,000 and more do
to control the different activities OF
retail distribution? It is, Of course,
understandable and admitted that mu-
nlClQdl SOVeIIulcuLo may PACoSAAS
sanitary and trafflc rules and general
safety conditions. They may also su-
pervise billboard advertising, exact
license fees and exercise supervision
over selling campaigns from house to
house by pedestrian statesmen or by
truck or pushcart. Many Of the
larger cities have laid down rules for
coming and building construction. In
all these, however, there is such o
wide variety at practice that the sur
vey finds much confusion.
n
The Harvard survey, conducted by
DR.. Franklin w. Ryan, has already
covered more than 10 cities. DR..
Ryan has gathered information on
the retail distribution activities that
are subject to local ordinances tn va
rious American municipalities. He
has found out that, Of $50 activities
Of retail merchants which he has
classified thus far, from rs to 30 are
normally subject to some regulation
by their municipal government.

To End Terrorism.

Prompt and positive action has been
taken in Europe to bring an end to the
reign Of terrorism which eliminated
in the recent assassination Of King
Alexander Of Yugoslavia and French
Foreign Minister Barthou. It having
been established that the Marseille
tragedy had its origin in plot Matched
by international terrorists, who main
tanned something like headquarters
and training grounds on Hungarian
soil, the Little Entente states-Yugo-
slavia, Rumania and Czechoslovakia-
have determined to protest vigorously
against the scandal and to obliterate
1t. To that end they will demonstrate
not only to Hungary, but also to the
League of Nations.
That in these modern times a gov
ernment processing to be civilized and
in enjoyment of full respect on the
part of sister nations would knowingly
harbor within It's borders an organized
band Of conspirators against the lives
Of foreign rulers and statesmen seems
wholly incredible. Yet the proof that
the Marseille crime is traceable to
the existence Of such plant" on
Hungarian soil is apparently indis-
putable. The whole world, even coun-
tries far remote from the Central
European cockpit, will rejoice when
the terrorist system which found
refuge and sustenance there has been
rooted out, lock, stock and barrel, for
no nation, no government anywhere
could feel itself entirely immune from
Its nalign influence and purpose.
Apart from the immediate objective
it pursues-the eradication of ter
rorism-the Little Entente seizes the
opportunity to reafirm the solidarity
which unites its members and to de-
clare its stout determination to stand
four square against all who attack
any one of them" Simultaneous with
this proclamation of unity, Yugoslavia,
Rumania and Czechoslovakia are
making overtures which may even
tually bring Bulgaria, Turkey and
Greece within the bloc Of Southeast
ern European states leagued for peace
and common action against any one
who menaces it.
Should the crime of Marseille finally
lead to such a new realignment the
cause of European peace would be
given powerful new bulwark. But as
a condition precedent to it all there Is
an iron purpose to stamp out terror
ism as a political weapon. There can
be no hope of tranquility in the Old
World while gangsterism is not only
tolerated, but approved, as an instru-
mentality for effecting changes in
governments and the personnel of
those who administer them. The ef-
fort to eradicate that peril to civiliza-
ton will command the sympathetic
attention and support Of all man
kind.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Engaging.
A road Of righteousness we seek
To tread from day to day.
We choose with manners mild and
meek
The straight and narrow way.
But new distractions will obtrude
On plans which we prepare.
With an alertness still renewed,
We side-step here and there.
Sometimes we cannot meet the test
OF an ideal strong.
Then we must plod and do our best
And just zigzag along.

Another Orchestra Season.

0uOtllC1 VlCACotAd q 6CooOAs
The opening concert this afternoon
of the National Symphony Orchestra's
1934-5 season is the occasion for re-
newed congratulations to DR.. Hans
Kinder, conductor; to the unselfish
men and women who have made pos
sible the continued life of the National
Symphony Orchestra Association and
to the beneficiaries Of their combined
efforts-the music lovers of Wash
ington.
Four years ago the National SYM
phony Orchestra was BORN to an un-
certain II hopeful existence. Other
undertakings of the same sort had
perished after brief struggles. The
creation Of a symphony orchestra, to
be supported by the citizens of COM
munity without the help either of
large endowments or tax-created reve-
nues was a bold experiment, begun in
the face of repeated failures here and
elsewhere.
The concert this afternoon is tacit
assurance in itself of the orchestra's
life for another season. BY popular
subscription the orchestra association
has collected about sixty thousand
dollars, representing an approximate
two-thirds of the total fund required
for the forthcoming season. The re-
naming third, it Is expected, will be
raised through the sale of tickets.
The collection of such sum by pop
ular subscription Is no mean feat in
itself. But it may be considered even
more remarkable that an orchestra
which has attained the wide prestige
now enjoyed by the National Sym
phony is able to subsist and even to
develop on such a relatively small
sum. For, compared with the Boston
Symphony's half-million-dollar ex-
pense account and with the small for
tunes represented in support Of the
Philharmonic of New York or the
Philadelphia Orchestra, 1t Is a modest
sum.
Each year the orchestra has gained
in popularity and added to its follow
ing in Washington and other cities.
This year the demand for concerts
in other cities has grown, and the
series promised for Washington has
been expanded. There will be, as be-
fore, series Of symphony concerts,
and series of Sunday afternoon con-
certs and a new, combined series of
concerts for students and for the
schoolchildren of Washington, to be
given on Saturday mornings at II
o'clock, in the Central High School
Auditorium. Dr. Kinder has assem-
bled a group of distinguished guest
artists, who will add to the enjoy
ment Of the season.
A cheerful indication of the con-
tinued growth Of the orchestra lies
in the indisputable fact that it now
draws its patronage from those who
seek and find good music, and not
from those brave spirits alone who
might be willing to attend a concert
because they think they ought to.

Bonus to Call For
New Taxes, Warned
By Administration

ment surged forward Thursday with
the slogan mo compromise"
Though administration leaders
have expressed the belief that such
a drive can be blocked, the contest
now getting up full steam leaves a
vide margin Of uncertainty as TO
how large the expenditures Of the
next congress will be.
A suggestion put forward here
Wednesday, apparently with the
tentative approval OF President
Roosevelt, would tie in directly
with the question Of relief funds.
The proposal, made by Chairman
Harrison D-MiSs) OF the senate
finance committee, was that needy
veterans get their bonus immed-
lately and-to that extent at least
be taken off relief rolls.
A suggestion that such compr0
mise offers are an admission of
defeat came from Frank III. Bel
grano. Jr.. National commander or
the American Legion. which Is on
record for full payment.
Declaring there Is M compromise
to make" he said at indianapolis:
las regards these Sugge<sd
compromises. 1t is not the side
which feels that its cause Is Just
that comes forward with offers OF
an armistice. 1t invariably Is the side
that knows its cause is lost"
Senator Borah (R-Idaho) said he
had given some thought to such a
compromise but concluded IL was
'impracticable." Also, he said. 1T
reduces the soldier tc the status of
a defendant before the government
pays him, which Is not "a very
agreeable thing TO do"
Blunt warnings have come from
several administration quarters In
recent days that cashing the bonus,
involving more than 81. 100000, 600

felt In some circles that the COM
promise might necessitate new tax
