Effective Shot Range
is Urqed on Bird Hunters

In an effort to curb losses Of game
birds crippled by long shots from
hunters fowling pieces, the United
States Fish and Wildlife Ser
vice yesterday cautioned gunners
throughout the country not to
shoot until you see the whites Of
their eyes,"
This, figuratively speaking, was
the maxim laid down in . report by
the service which states that the
annual loss Of crippled or unre.
trieved migratory waterfowl and
upland game birds is serious drain
on game bird population.
The report states that hunters
attempts to bag birds beyond the
effective range Of guns causes a
large percentage of the annual loss
in unretrieved cripples and asks
hunters not to shoot until birds
come within effective range.
Local duck hunters, however,
pointed out that these losses would
not be so great If it were not for the
regulation which prohibits the re-
trieve of crippled waterfowl by
means Of shots fired from motor
launches. The motor launch regula-
ton, according to the service, was
necessitated by the fact that too
many hunters used chasing Of

Frost TO Signal Navajo
Niqht Chant Ceremonies

SANTA FE, N. Mex, Oct. 10
New Mexico's Navajo Indians are
making preparations for two of the
best-known of their irregular cere-
monies-the Yei-bei-chai, or night
chant, and the fire chant, according
to the New Mexico State Tourist
Bureau
Both ceremonials come after the
first frost has appeared. and each
is offered in thanksgiving The fire
dance is probably the most spectac-
ular of the two Seen against the
setting of rugged mountains on a
crisp, late-tutumn night, it is a
memorable sight.
On the Navajo calendar, Novem-
ber is the month of little cold
wind" when frosty nights and chill
winds mean a harvest of acorns and
pinon nuts in the high country.
Performances of the fire dance fit
we'll into the harvest scheme.
After frost has split the burrs and
cones away from the nuts. the Nav
ajos travel into the high country
in groups to gather them. At night
the harvesters assemble in camps,
set ablaze huge piles Of wood, and
rejoice in the great gift of fire.
In an earlier day Navajo medicine
men, who belong to a difficult pro-
fession, would not sanction per-
formances of the fire dance until
some tribal member had seen the
tracks of q bear printed in heavy
frost somewhere on the mountain
slopes. Some modification of this
rule has come about in recent years.

ny the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, Oct. 19-For the
first time since World War No. /
the famed annual Carnegie Interna-
tional Exhibition of Painting won't
be an international"
The reason, of course, is the new
war.
Instead the exhibition will be sur
vey of American painting, "the most
comprehensive ever attempted" says
John O'Connor, jr., assistant director
of the Carnegie Institute department
Of fine arts.
Famous American works OF art are
now being collected from all parts of
the Nation-from galleries, private
collections, public buildings and
artists studios for the survey open
ing October "a and continuing
through December IS.
They will make up the first exhibi-
ton in this country In which the
works of a large number Of living
American artists will be shown 81
multaneously with those Of the past.
Two Distinct Sections.
The survey will cover American
painting from about 1880 to 1910;
there will be two distinct sections.
The retrospective will include artists
from Colonial times to about 1920,
while the contemporary section will
be confined to the significant" mod
erns-living artists from 1920 to
1910. In all there will be 367 paint
ings.
Homer Saint -Gaudens, diDector of
the institutes department of fine
arts. in years past conbed the ma
tions of Europe for outstanding can
vases for the annual international
exhibition. Even during the Spanish
civil war Saint-Gaudens managed
to visit Spain and return with repre-
sentative works.
But the current war made such a
trek impossible, so Saint -Gaudens
spent three months visiting all pos
sible American sources to obtain the
best examples of native art.
From Many Collections.
He obtained them from Yale Uni
versity, from the Historical Society
Of PENNSYLVANIA, from Philadelphia
PENNSYLVANIA Academy of Fine Arts,
from museums, galleries and indi-
viduals in Boston, ST. Louis, New
York, Cincinnati and many other
cities and towns.
Living painters will be limited to
one canvas each. but there will be
groups of paintings by such i'm
portant American artists as Feke,
Copley, Stuart, Sargent, Homer,
Eakins, Inness, Glackens and Bel
lows.
The annual exhibition is financed
from philanthropies established by
Andrew Carnegie, the Scotch i'm
migrant steel master. It is one of
the many things he left the city
where he once trotted the streets as
messenger boy.
Mr.. Carnegie established the in
ternational in 1896: it has been held
annually since then except the World
War years and the depression year
1882. The only other international
exhibition of paintings is held BIZ
ennially at Venice, Italy.

Line Now in Third Year.
With the recent sailing of the
liner Brazil, Moore Mccormack
Lines started the third year OF op-
Grafton of the American Republics
Line to the east coast of South
America.
The lines operation during its two
years of service has been one of in
creasingly greater volumes of pas
senger travel and cargo, according
10 AlOert V. MOORE, preSlQent OF
Moore Mccormack Lines.
In the first II months of opera
ton the ships carried 1865 pas
sengers; in the second IL months,
just completed, they have carried
1899 passengers.
The development of the service is
indicated by the fact that in the
first year of operation the Amer
lean Republics Line ships carried
more than twice the number of pas
sengers carried in the previous year
by the combined fleets of two other
lines which had served the east
coast of South America prior to the
establishment of the American Re-
publics Line.

Detection Of Cancer
With Phosphorus Reported

By the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, Dec. 3-Use of
phosphorus as a combination detec-
tive and combatant against cancer
held attention today at the 26th
annual meeting of the Pathological
Society of North America.
DR.. John M. Kenney of New York
reported that tracer doses of radio
active phosphorus given to patients
by the mouth had been absorbed by
malignant tissues appreciably more
than by normal tissues.
Thus it may be possible to locate
hidden foci of infection before they
become apparent clinically. he said,
and nip young cancers in the bud.
So far, such absorption has been
studied only in cancers of the breast,
bone and lymph.
DR.. P. S. Henshaw of the National
Cancer Institute at Bethesda, Md,
commented: DIR Kenney has gone
straight to the bottom of this prob
lem. He has selected one of the
elements of normal diet, phosphorus,
rendered it radioactive, administered
it to patients by way of diet and
then examined such tissues as he
could to determine the relative
amounts of radiophosphorus present.
His results are encouraging for

the three types of tumor investl-
gated, close to an effective dose OF
