Whales Supply Values Product

mat the lore HIS, or pduuleo of the Whale have all the bones, joints and most of the muscles, nerves and arteries of the human arm and hand? That the rudi- ments of the hind legs are bur jed deep into the interior of the whales body ? Externally he looks like a fish but is a warm blooded animal adjusted in form to suit his watery environment.
 Tho he has the streamlines of the fish, his f1ukes, or tail, differs from theirs as the fish tail is placed vertically with his body; while the whales is horizontal This enables him to rise to the surface more easily which is nec- essary for him to get his breath. The spout of water" which we so often see when observing the whale, is not water at all; merely his warm breath entering the colder atmosphere and condens- ing; appearing as our on cold day; only his breath has more force behind it than ours hence, the "high spout of water
 Whales have no teeth; that is, the ones found in local waters, but have filters through which the water is emptied from the mouth after taking a mouthful of herring or other food, These filters are called baleen. They are flexible bone set in rows a. long the upper jaw, very thin x varying in length. The longer ones are in the center of the mouth and the others gradually becoming smaller and shorter at the jaw joints.
 These baleen form a curtain when the mouth is closing. The loose ends of the baleen are fry ed, brush like, making filter for the escaping water but forming a brush-like net to prevent the escaping of food. When the mou tn is closed these frayed ends bend in and under, laying along a groove, in the lower jaw below the tongue. There are 380 ba- leen on each side of the upper palate.
 The lower lip is exceeding stiff and long, or high. This aids the baleen in forming pond for the captured fish. The frayed ends are thrust down below this stiff lip, preventing the flexible baleen brush from sweeping out with the rushing water when the whale closes his mouth and press es his tongue against the roof ot his mouth in order to empty the water and swallow the food.
 The local whale is the hump back" They are usually forty to forty-five feet long. The front fippers are from ten to twelve feet in length; the head is about one third of his entire length the longest baleen is from ten to twelve inches long and three x half inches wide.
 The oil of the whale is used principally for the base ot soaps The baleen used to be used ex- tensively for "whale boning' In corsets, but flexible steel has talk en it's place, so now is used most r. ly for brushes and millinery pur- poses. The goose quill trimm- ings are made of the silky brush ends of the baleen.
 The whale, like most sea mann mals, give birth on land. That l is. the whale comes to shallow waters to give birth to their young. The young cannot swim but must be taught; during the infancy period, the babes are car ried under the front flippers of their mothers. One offspring is

 A petition was received from resi-. dents of Watertown avenue asking for the installation of c sewer In their thoroughfare from Aurora street, 300 feet south. The matter was referred to the sewer commit. tee for consideration. Last year c petition calling for the installation of Q sanitary sewer in Watertown avenue from Aurora street to Bun. ker Hill avenue was vigorously op. posed by many because they owned vacant lots on which they did not wish to pay assessments. The petis ton presented last night takes in only the area on which there arc houses. The outlet for the pro. posed sewer would be in the new sewer now being laid in Aurora street. The latter sewer connects with the trunk sewer in the Nau- gatuck river.

CAPTAIN TELLS

Robert Wright Describes Rescue of Crew From
 Greek Vessel

BY CAPT. ROBERT N. WRIGHT Master, s. 6. City Of Newport News. Copyright lD9e by United Press.)
 Aboard 6. 8. City of Newport News, ct Sea, Feb.--(UP)--Wlth the 90 officers and crew of the Greek froighter gtefanos CostomeniB aboard, we are proceeding to New- port News. We abandoned the Costomenls in Q sinking condition after we had removed every person aboard in boats in Q heavy sec. We will make the Virginia Capes ct 5 .. m. tomorrow.
 At 10 ?. Ell., on Feb. i7 (Monday) we received Q distress call from the Costomenis requesting inamedl- ate assistance. We altered our course and proceeded ct i7 knots.
 Arrived at Position
 We arrived at the given position on the morning of the 18th (Tues- day) but the Greek gave another position eastward, c distance of no knots from the previous one. Dur. ing the entire night we kept in touch with her. The weather was squally and the wind was of variable gale force. Tho sea was heavy, dinl- inishing toward morning.
 Late of the afternoon of the 18th, we sighted her some 300 miles east of Cape Henryr. She was under way, proceeding slowly. We offered to stand by until cutters arrived, or, # the captai nwished to aban. don ship, would receive hi screw. He signalled that he wanted to abandon ship immediately.
 Her boats were swung out ready. Three boats were lowered with members of the crew. maneuvered this steamer to the leeward of the Greek to enable her boats to run before the ssea and wind. Finally abandonment was effected ct 4:46 D. m. (EsT). All hands are safe. None suffered personal injury.
 10 Feet of Water
 The captain of the Stefanos Coss tomenis states his ship was making water fast due to damage, the cause of which is unknown to me. The steamer had i0 feet of water in her lower holds which had been loaded with phosphate ct Norfolk, Va.
 We have broadcast the position of the derelict to ell ships.
 am unable to state whether the steamer will remain afloat long enough to effect salvage. It was deep in the water, rolling heavily and shipping water when aban- doned.
 The derelict was left with her national colors flying and with two anchor lights exhibited.
 At the time of the rescue there was Q heavy, confused sec and 1t wes squally.
 New York, Feb. io.-(UP)--The stefanos Costomenis, bound from Norfolk to the Mediterranean, de- veloped leaks during c furious At. lantic coastal storms that had 12 vessels h trouble yesterday. Her first sos sent five vessels to her aid Monday night but ell, except the coast guard cutter Champlain, turned back because the City Of Newport News was closest.

Washington, Feb. lo--"The Lady From Louisiana" as senate collea. gues now address Huey Longs wi. dow, is the source of Q great deal of speculation here.
 Everybody wonders whether she will make any attempt to carry on Hueys campaigns with anything like his fury and fireworks" style Mrs. Longs obvious gentility and quiet polse make that very unlikely.
 Those who know her well doubt that she has had any great famil. iarity with Huey's acts, policies, and associates in late years.
 But that was not always true. In the days when Huey was running for his first public office, that of railroad commissioner, the Ktngtish himself told how my headquarters were established in the small resi- tence of my father-in- Jaw in Shre- veport, from which my wife, with the help of my family and friends In the neighborhood, mailed out literature and answered letters.
 Although my first child was only Q year old" Huey continued, my wife conducted my campaign head- quarters with courage and effi. ciency."
