NEW YORK, September ls-
Stradivarius violins are moving"
once more. Albert spalding. famous
native violinist, has just bought one.
Spalding paid $27,50o for the "Artot"
strad, certainly the highest price
since the 1929 deluge, and no mean
price for any time.
1t was not that Spalding lacked
violins-his famous Guarnerius Del
gesu, hitherto the favorite Of his col
lection, is an instrument to make con-
noisseurs water at the mouth. But the
"Artot" Strad is something more.
Spalding has just sailed for con-
cert tour Of Europe, and will escape
the inevitable deluge Of letters from
people who also have Strads for sale.
These people write by the hundreds,
deluded by the fact that many thou
sands of copies have been made for
cheap sale, each carefully marked
inside "Antonius Stradivarius, Facie-
bat, AID. 1928" or some other likely
date.
Virtually every authentic Stradi-
varius which has survived is not only
known, but pedigreed.
The instrument Spalding has bought
is case in point. It was made In 1722.
and for many years was owned by
Artot, the once famous violinist. Later
it came into the possession Of Fall
con de Rinuccini, one Of the in
credibly numerous first prize winners
at the Paris Conservatoire.
In 1842 the Lafont family Of France
bought the "Artot," and 1t was in

Ey the Associated Press.
The Biological Survey yesterday re.
ported the duck depression Is on the
mend.
Drastic depletion Of the duck, which
led the Government to step in and
impose conserving limits on shooters
last year, has been remedied sub
stantially by restricted kill and a good
breeding season this year. survey
officials said.
They said there was no way to tell
just how great the percentage of in
crease in the waterfowl was, but that
it could be put down as substantial"
because OF the greater number which
escaped slaughter last year to return
to their breeding grounds in the
Spring.
This years Middle Western drought
was discounted by survey officials as a
depicting factor in the current supply
Of the fowl. inasmuch as rs to 80 per
cent Of the ducks are Matched north
of the wheat belt in this country and
Canada.
Drought in Canada since 1929, how
ever, and overshooting in this country
were the principal causes Of the duck
depression. which led the Biological
Survey to clamp restrictions on the
yearly kill in this country.

season this year opens as early as

anchored in Rock Hole and made our
way across the marsh to q lonely
crab shanty and thought the situa-
ton over. We attempted to get back
to the boat, but found we couldn't
get back. There was no way OF
leaving. There was a raging snow
storm. We couldn't see our hands
before us.
"The storm continued to be so bad
that it wore in two the anchor rope
which was holding our boat. As luck
would have it, 1T was flood tide and
our boat was carried on to the other
side of the shore instead Of into open
water.
Stayed in Crab Shanty.
I'VE stayed in the crab shanty un-
til this morning, when the weather
had cleared, then got two small crab
bing skiffs and padded our way
across the Annamessex River to Cris-
field. We really had thrilling expe-
Tience"
