Guess That Hughes Acted

Lawyers are guessing that the court stood 4 to 4 on the Duke Pow CT cast, but that Chief Justice Hughes was so mortally afraid of another tie decision that in some way--possibly, they opine, by threatening the liberal justices with the possibility that he would jump to the other side--he managed to have the supreme bench duck the issue by tossing the case back to lower courts on a basis of incon- sequential technicalities.
 The story, whether true or not, is being spread around assiduosly by those who seek to stir up popular contempt for the court.
 New Deal lawyers will talk your ear off Tn explaining how the justices never before tossed back case like this unless the pro- ceduraI error involved had hurt someone, how the court socked the unemployed who would oth- erwise be employed on WPA pro- jects, and how absurd 1t Is for the court to refuse even at this late date to tell whether PWA Is con- stituteitnola.
 They insist that the order for retrial has put off a decision on the power plant issue for another year.
 Of course If Justice Stone were to recover sufficiently from his illness to serve on the bench, there would be little danger of 4-to-4 decisions. No one knows how long he will be out.
 Meanwhile. general suspicion in Washington is that Hughes and Justice Roberts "got religion" after they saw the election returns, leay- ing the four die-hards-McReyn olds. Butler. VanDevanter, and Sutheriand-still holding the fort against the New Deal on all counts. Garner Has the Answer
 Vice President Garner has given Roosevelt his idea as to how the president can choose an honest Maritime Commission to replace the present temporary board, one which can be depended on not to sell out the government and the public funds to shipping interests.
 Those shipping people are the crookedest bunch of so-and-so's in the country" Garner asserted. You'd better pick all the members of that commission from the in- terior. away from the seaports." Call for Mrs. Simpson

Washington, Dec. 21--It Is diff cult to tell whether the U.' 8. 5u- preme Court is as demoralized as some think or whether its suspect ed deInoralization is only a nAsap- prehension on the part of outsiders. effectively fostered by substantial group of interested persons who want to get us into the habit of -pohing the court.
 Authentic information sometimes trickles out of the secret conference eS which precede the courts deci- sions. But none has trickled your correspondents way since the jus- tices ordered retrial of the Duke Power case. This action involves PWAs constitutionality and par ticularly It's right to make loan grants for public power plants.
 The court, however, stirred crit
 icS to take one more whack at its
 prestige by refusing to decide on
 the merits of a vital New Deal
 case when 1t had every possible
 speck of evidence before It.
 Following as 1t did the 4-to-4 verdict which validated the New York unemployment insurance law by @ failure to achieve a majority situation, the Duke action has in- spired new outburst of hooting to the effect that the court has lost its ability to make deciSions-even wrong ones.

Notes On PACIFIC SALMON By H. H. HUNGERFORD

IL has been conceded by all close observers that all varieties of sai- mon are what is termed parent stream fish. which is. that the ma ture salmon will, in most instances. return 10 the stream where it was matched This is important from the standpoint of conservation. making it very important that every spawning stream secure an adequate eseapement of salmon, Y. assure a run in all areas.
 The spawning habits of all sal mon are essentially the same whe l on the spawning beds, as to gravel es ts, egg fertilization. develop ment and eseapement from the grayels. the principal difference being in the type and size of stream entered. the distance travelled Ip stream by the mature fish and the development of the young before they enter the ocean.

Perils Abound

It is during this stream stage of life that very serious losses are sus- taiIed by the young salmon, as they are not very agile, their avenues of escape few, and their enemies num- erous They survive as a race only because of their numbers. If only a small number hatch and escape out of the gravels their numerous enemies probably get most of them before they reach the sea, unless they are so very few that their foes have departed to areas where food is more easily obtained Another peril greets the young salmon when they enter the sea. As most of them are small and unable to swim any great distance if they do not find their natural food of copepods, a- bundant and nearby, they will per- ish through sheer inability to travs el far enough 10 find sufficient food

Gravel Nests

Tn their gravel nests it is neces- sary that water is in constant clf- cuIation past eaoh individual egg for it absorbs it's oxygen through it's membranous shell from the wal CT which is, sin direct contact with it and must have circulation to carry off the wastes and renew the supply of oxygen. The egg IS in what is termed the tender stage until the embryo begins to develop. A slight shock or exposure to sun light is fatal to it at this time. The first sign of development is the black eye dots. A few days after. by holding the egg up to the light the back bone as well as the eyes may be seen.
 After the egg has been subjected to a sufficient number of heat IT. nits, has had an adequate circula- tion of water without being washed out or buried by the fall freshets,

Favorable Spawning Areas

Spawning areas most favorable for the development of fertile sal : mon eggs are gravel bars in streams where the water is not too swift, gravel not too coarse and mixed with only a minimum of sand and mud, which might prevent proper circulation of water around the eggs.
 Upon reaching the spawning area the salmon pair up. As males are slightly in excess of females, the mating of male with any particu- lar female for the entire spawning period is improbable. Upon decid- ing where, the pair proceed to fan a hole in the gravel with their tails aided by the current, several feet deep and about a yard in diameter The female then proceeds to deposit l CT eggs in the bottom of this neat in the gravel and they are then fertilized by the male. Actual spawning covers a period of severas days. Meanwhile the action of u } stream has filled the hole, cover ing the fertile eggs The male in addition to his regular duties at tempts to keep rival males at a dis lance, not always successfully, and to prevent predictions fishes Dol- ley Varden) from eating the eggs as they are laid.
