STRUCK

Kalispell, Mont, June 4 -
(UP) - Louis Caverly, Somers
Mont, actually was struck
speechless by lightning recently,
The bolt struck him as he
stepped out of his automobile
on his return home from a
fishing trip. He was knocked
down, but managed to get up
and walk into the house. His
left arm and vocal cords were
paralyZed.
Physicians at the Kalispell
hospital to which he was
brought said Caverly probably
would regain the use of his
voice and arm, but that the
process might be slow.
Caverly was employed as fore
man of the log pond at the
SomerS SaWmill.

microscopic sea life of this re-
gion, while those of the service
investigated the extent of pill
chard spawning, the drift and
survival of the young.
Seventy plankton hauls for
pilchard eggs and larvae were
collected and, in addition, the
Scripps Institution made serial
temperature, saiinity, and oxy-
gen determinations, and serial
diaton collections at each of
the stations. These observations
will form the basis for Judging
the location, abundance, drift,
and mortality of the young sta
ges of the pilchard in relation
to the photographic phenom-
ena.
The second cruise took place
April I'll in the offing of Oc-
eanside.
Examination of the collections
of the first cruise is now under
way. with samples of eggs sort
ed from approximately one
fourth of the collections. The
numbers of eggs were in the
same order of magnitude as in
the previous season, but their
distribution was distinctly diff
ferent.
1t is anticipated that as a re-
suit of this cooperative study it
will be possible to learn how
fluctuations in the marine eli
mate, in the currents, and in
the seas food economy are re-
lated to fluctuations in survival
of young pilchards, and ulti-
mately to natural fluctuations
(Which are independent of
mans fishing) in the abundance
of adults.
Trout Fishing Intensity
Shows Sharp Increase
San Francisco - Fishing in
tensity on Squaw Creek, a trib-
utary of the Pitt river, has in
creased sharply during the past
four years and has spread to
the smaller tributaries and
headwaters, according to a re-
port just released by the Fish
and Wildlife service, United
States Department of the Inter-
ior, in connection with Califor-
mia creel census studies of trout.
In 1910, 20 per cent of the
anglers who fished the smaller
tributaries and headwaterS
caught 40 per cent of the trout
taken. More trout were caught
In 1899 than in 1910, although
there was an increase of SO ang-
lerS in 1910.

Millions of Wild Ducks Ava!
But Refuge Manager
Keeps Busy

Stuttgart - The wild ducks
may be away Cup North, but
refuge managers can not play

remark was recently made by
Howard Miller, manager of the
White River National Wildlife
refuge.
One of the 1853 national Wild
Life sanctuarieS administered by
the Fish and Wildlife service,
United States Department OF
the Interior, the White River
refuge was established primar-
lily as a wintering area for wild
ducks and other forms of mig
ratory waterfowl.
Last winter more than $780,
900 wild ducks were estimated
to be wintering on the area.
While the ducks are on the
breeding grounds in the north
ern United States and the Can
adian provinces this summer,
Manager Miller will direct de-
velopment work on the 40-mile
long sanctuary.
Most of the refuge is fores-
ted by a general mixture of ov-

'Of course had it. And now no

sentence on those who were
brought before him. Peggy un-
derstood that now. Her grand
mother was going to judge this
Mr.. Newton whom Maxine was
recommending. Peggy had not
thought of judging a detective, ex-
cept by his speed in taking over
the job and finding the ring.
She smiled to herself as she
thought of some big Irishman-
weren't all detectives Irish, or did
that only apply to city cops?-

cestors and being judged by Gran.
She remembered a detective she
had seen in one of Maxine's pic
lures. He was large fat man
who wore a derby hat on the back
of his head, and who seemed al
ways to have long cigar stuck
in the corner of his mouth. Sup
pose that was the man she could
hear Maxine talking to now in
the hall. Could Maxine really
know someone like that? If a fat
man with a derby on the back of
his head and cigar in the cor
ner of his mouth entered this
room he might just as well give
up all thought of his helping her
find the ring. Gran would get rid
of him without giving him a
chance, she was sure.
ooh, I hope he won't be too
, bad," she prayed fervently as she
heard footsteps crossing the hall.
She shut her eyes, waiting to
hear how Gran greeted him be-
fore she looked to see what he
was like,
"Gran," Maxine was saying,
"this is Stanley Newton, a friend
of mine from California. My
grandmother, Mrs. Horton, Stan

II am delighted to meet you,

she really meant it, and the mus
cles around Peggy's tightly closed
eyes began to relax.

suggested.
Leaving the house quietly they
went down the front steps and
turning the corner of the house
entered the garden.
"Whew," he breathed in relief,
taking his cigarette case from his
pocket and offering it to Peggy,
who shook her head. MAY -" he
asked. When she nodded her as
sent, he stopped for a moment to
light his cigarette while she con-
tinued up the walk towards the
summer house. ''Your friend
Nancy is a helpful little soul, isn't
she?" he asked, joining her.
what is it you wished to ask
me?" Peggy asked him without
replying to his question about
Nancy.
He laughed. "To tell you the
truth I don't know. 1 only knew
I wanted to talk to you and that
seemed the best way to do it.
Things have come so fast and
furiously that I am all befuddled.
Last night when Maxine said her
sister had lost her ring and for
me to come out and help find it,
it seemed all right. Of course, I
didn't know then that her sister
was you. And I didn't know that
you were engaged. And now to be
perfectly honest I don't give a
