If the kill ing of whales continues at the present rate they will be extermi nated before another decade, is the rarnlng given by Sir Sidney F. Harmer, F. R. S., director of the natural History department of the. British Museum. Recent in vestigations carried out In the whaling ereas has revealed this alarming condition, he says. Some Already Extinct The whaling industry has sur vived since the time of Alfred the Great, despite the fact that there has never been a year known when scores of . boats did not leave, the ports of Engl ad, France, Spain, and - Scandinavia to hunt the sea animals. Sir Sidney de clared in a recent address In which he urged legislation against hunting of whales. The Greenland variety of the whale is already thought to be extinct, and the hunting of the last few years has been confined' almost entirely to the Southern! seas. j Prof Us Increased j The proHts derived from the killing of these cataccans are enormous, and they Increase yearly as the retail price of the oil and bone increases. A fair sized whale has a ton of whale bone in its mouth, which alone is wcrth $10,000. It also produced about 30 tons of oil worth about 1100 a ton. In the season of 1915-16 the oil production from Antartic whaling stations was 634,000 barrels, or about 94,000 tons. During the war this oil was recognized as of vital importance in the manufacture of nitro-gly-cerine. It is now used in the making of soap. Oil Uses Many The principal whales caught today are a species of rorquals, or fin-whales; the blue whale, and the sperm whale. The latter, the hunting of which is princi pally confined to Americans'; not' only give sperm oil, but often contain ambergris, which Is sold at $20 an ounce and used in the perfumery trade. The oil used for lubricating the wheels of watches comes from the dolphin, and is the finest oil known. Mrs. Cora Lilley of East St. Louis has been married eleven times.

Ap proximately 5000 children, most ly Japanese, now attending alien language schools in the territory, will be compelled to cease at tendance January 1, by the terms of the new school department reg ulation which has been approved by Governor Wallace R.
