GRAND COULEE DAM MAY
 PRODUCE STREAM LINED FISH

WASHINGTON. D. Gone by product of the new deal may be a raee of streamlined salmon, if the guess of fish experts here proves correct.
 Officials of the bureau of fish cries said that the Grand Coulee dam being built in Washington state with government funds may make the salmon in the Columbia river lighter, thinner, more stream lined.
 When salmon begin their up- stream swim from the ocean to spawning grounds, said Glen O. Leach, chief of the fish culture di- visions, they have just enough en- ergy and just enough fat" to take them to their destination.
 But the Grand Coulee dam, 300 feet high, will cut short their trip. They won't be able to jump over it. The plan is to catch them in a fish trap and carry them to a hatchery in which they will spawn and from "alCh lhS udD SdAA1bn-- EDU u 100,0O0,0O0 each season-wtl be released.
 "The salmon which are caught in the trap at Grand Coulee would go perhaps 150 miles farther up- stream if they could" Leach said.
 Different types of salmon go to different spawning grounds. They have just enough energy and just enough fat to reach the proper place.
 'I wouldn't be surprised if even tually a new race of salmon re- suits from Grand Coulee. After sey- eral generations are held there and spawn in the ponds, it may develop that the new race will have just enough fat and just enough energy to reach the dam"
 Thus, he explained, the fat and energy the fish formerly used to travel the 15O miles beyond the dam will be lost in their descend ants.

FORMER LOCAL GIRL SENDS
 GREETINGS FROM HAWAII

Mrs. Frank Westlake, who as Miss Amanda Horgheim spent her young girlhood in WrangelI, wrote an interesting letter to the Sentin- el this week when sending remit tance for another years subscrip- tion to the home paper
 Mrs. Westlake, who has lived in Lihue, Kauai, Hawaii, for several years, said, in part:
 We are always glad to get the news from the old home town, but are sorry to see that so many of our friends are passing on. We were shocked to read of Mrs. Dalgity's death as well as that of Ole John son and others.
 '.The letter from Knyg Johansen in the paper a few weeks ago re- minded me of the good picnics we used to have on his boat, the Duck land. I wonder if they still go on picnics and camping trips to Ideal Cove and other places. Knyg was always ready to take a crowd out and we had some wonderful times Mrs. Burke and Miss Pritchett (now Mrs. Follansble and living in Honolulu), used to go along as chaperons
 ''I could keep this up for hours but am sure it would get tiresoma so will close with a fond aloha to all our friends up there"

COTTON PR|CE
RANCE NARROW

NEW YORK, Feb. 16 QNS0.
The cotton market was generally
dull and quiet affair today, with
prices ruling within a point or two
of previous closings through most
of the session.
Buyers consisted principally Of
the trade, wire houses, and New
Orleans, while scattered selling
came in from Liverpool, commits
sion houses, and the Far East.
Short covering also was noted
from time to time, but no aggres-
sive follow-through was evidenced
on either side.
Cotton circles were greatly in
terested in the assurances given
by President Roosevelt that the
administration cotton crop con-
troll would not be relaxed. The
President was seen as taking q
firm stand behind Secretary Of
Agriculture Wallace, who had de.
clared repeatedly that possible
acreage expansion in foreign cot
ton-producing countries will not
force a revision of the domestic
control program.
Final quotations were un-
changed to off 2 points, with
March off 2 points at 12.41, May
off / at 12.48, July unchanged at
1882, October unchanged at 12.41,
December off 2 at 12.46, and Janu-
ary off l at 1880.

METAL MARKETS

NEW YORK. Feb. 16 Q.N.SD.-Cop-
per sold abroad today in moderate vol
ume, with the price unchanged at 3.675
and London. In the domestic market,
sales continued good. with Blue Eagle
metal unchanged at cents a pound
delivered to the end Of May. A slight
increase in the demand for non-code
metals is reported. At present prices
for this copper range about IT'S cents
pound.
January world stocks of copper were
reduced 1000 tons from the December
figure, with the United States account
ing for reduction of 10000 tons and
European stocks increasing 5000 tons.
This was more or less in line with ex-
pectations. World stocks totaled 975.-
100000 pounds. Consumption in this
abroad IFS, 900, 900.
Domestic copper sales on Thursday
maintained the high rate set for the
month, again exceeding 1000 tons The
rate is in excess of full book require
ments for the month, despite the fewer
days in February. 1t will be the first
month since June of last year that this
quota has been reached.
Credit for the better volume Is gen.
orally given to the automobile industry,
which is at present experiencing
more than seasonal increase in activity.
1t has been suggested that this extra
activity is In anticipation of strikes
later on. II so, copper sales can hardly
be maintained in the face of a greatly
lessened activity in its principal outlet.
Lead sales are said to be on the de-
cline, not unnatural development
after several weeks of intensive buying
and an ADVANCE in prices. The price
was unchanged today at 3.55 to $50

Zinc market continued dull, with the
price unchanged at S.7O cents q pound

|NATHER NOTES
GA|NS|N SOUTH

E. j. Mather, president Of
Diaries, Inc, who has
recently returned to Washington
after a trip through the South,
is more than optimistic over
business conditions in this Sec
ton. Mr.. Mather said:
From personal observation
and from reports Of our man
ayers in various cities, 1 am
confident that the South is
well on the way toward greatly
improved business conditions.
"On the basis of this conf.
dence we are materially increaS-
ing our advertising expenditures
on Southern Diaries Ice Cream
this year. By means of an in
tensive and sustained advertis-
ing drive, we expect not only to
help Southern Diaries dealers
sell more of our products, but to
aid materially in raising the
average per capita cOnSump-.
tion of ice cream in those cities
covered by our advertising, and
thus provide dairy farmers with
with an enlarged market for
their cream.
"Our appropriation will be
almost entirely expended In
newspapers. Ninety-fOur repre-
sentative newspapers in 65
cities have been selected to
carry this advertising through
out a territory extending from
the Mason and Dixon Line to
southern Florida"

that Exchange" covers all the
complicated buying and selling
operations which 90 on in mod
ern business. In our integrated
markets money, in serving as q
medium Of exchange, has to do
three distinct jobs: ~ Measure
values, ~ be q standard Of cur.
rent values, ~ be standard
Of deferred payments.
All measurements involve three
steps. First, you select the quail
ity Of an object which you want
to measure. Thus, If you are
measuring cloth, you may select
length, or weight, or value, as
the quality to be measured.
Second, you compare the object
to be measured with some other
object which has the same quail
ity. Thus, if we measure the
length Of cloth, we compare it
with a tape measure to see "how
long it is" OF if we measure its
value, we compare it with money
to see chow much money it is
worth"
Third, we have to use "Stand-
ard" of measurement. Before we
can know for sure how long the
cloth Is, we have to know that
the tape measure is accurate. So
it is checked against q certain
bronze bar kept in Washington
as the standard Of the linear
measure.
Precisely so, If we want to
know exactly how much value
the cloth has, we must know that
the money we use in measuring
value is accurate. It must con-
form to some standard which is
definite and generally agreed on.
Such a standard was formerly
supplied by the gold dollar. It
consisted of 1922 grains Of pure
gold. Like the bronze bar which
Is the standard for measuring
distance, the value Of this
quantity Of gold was the definite
standard for measuring value.
But there Is another prob
lem Of exchange, and that Is
the problem of stability over a
period Of time.
For example, any metal bar
will vary in length from time
to time according to tempera-
ture. The metal in it expands
and contracts with heat and
cold. The bronze bar at Wash
ington is therefore kept at a
constant temperature at all
times when in use, so that its
length will be stabilized.
Just so, the value Of the
standard dollar must be kept
rs nearly constant A. possible.
This is the reason why gold
has usually been selected as
being the material which varies
less In value than any other.
Furthermore, we specify pure
gold, and take an exact guam
tity such as 1922 grains.
This is highly important, be.
cause most exchanges involve
the lapse Of time, and any good
medium of exchange must there
fore serve as a standard Of de.
9erred payments"
There is only one difference be-
tween measuring distance and
measuring value. The distance"
between two points in space does
not change. But the "value" Of
things does change. Nothing has
an absolutely fixed and constant
va1ue-nothing under the sun. By
its very nature, value is a variable
quality.

CITIZENS HEAR KIRBY
ON WELFARE BOARD
Work of Gallinger Hospital
Singled Out for Praise by
Speaker,

Functions of the various institutions
under the direction of the Board of
Public Welfare were explained in detail
by Paul Kirby, assistant director of the
board, at a meeting last night of the
Southwest Citizens Association in the
fourth precinct station.
The board, composed of nine men,
berS residing in the District, has
jurisdiction over the District Jail,
the oldest institution under the boards
direction and classed by Kirby as a
clearing house" for prisoners. The
prisoners later are sent to Occoquan
and, fer the long term" violators, the
Lorton Reformatory.
In speaking of the medical group,
Kirby praised Gallinger Municipal
Hospital, particularly the newer build
ings and the more recent ward for
contagious disease. Another building
under the medical group is the Tuber-
culoSis Hospital. hTe new building,
at Glenn Dale, Md, was erected to
supplant the one located in the heart
OF the northwest residential section.
Referring to the Home for the Aged
and Inflrm, another group under the
boards guidance, Kirby mentioned the
Federal social security act, which
would provide for old-age pensions.
He explained the majority of the in
mates would not be eligible for assist
ence.
The old-age assistance plan was
outlined generally by Kirby, followed
by a round table discussion.
