Harrison, associate technologist for the U. S. fish eries-bureau here, told of efforts to turn 200.000,000 pounds of nual salmon waste into money for U. Si producers. And he reported Japanese -"floating canneries," Whose activities in Alaskan wa ters have brought protests from 17.

Now, Harrison said,-, these other by-products are Increasingly important. By-Products Varied High vitamin potency oil from salmon heads r salmon oil added to canned' salmon to improve its appearance and quality; improved salmon meal with wider animal food uses; caviar, fish food and fish bait from salmon eggs; vita mins A and D from ealmon livers; liver extracts for anemia treat ment, and extracts prepared ' by biochemists from salmon milt for use in connection with insulin treatments. Harrison said salmon waste sometimes Is erroneously consid ered In the category of garbage because it is the part discarded in dressing the fish "Actually .the greater part of the waste is entirely suitable for human food,", he said, ."and is therefore capable of being con verted- into . manufactured pro ducts for human use. This should suggest further that products of high valueVtor other than food might be .prepared," - ?

Students hurrying to classes found the Jtone on the main walk. still bearing traces of earth Said Dean Herbert T. Condon. head of the disciplinary commit tee "There Is no proof yet as to who Is responsible for this." It is hard to imagine that a college student could be found who is so void of any sense of propriety as to be responsible for this act. j However. Jt looks as thoueh this! mav be the case."

There is first, Rem brandt young, carefree, sturdy, the Dutch miller's son. posturing slightly, confident of his talent: then Rembrandt, still young, suc cessful, married - to the lovely Saskia and lifting 'her out of the happiness of their home to stand beside him on the glowing can vas; and Rembrandt of the middle years, bewildered, inquiring, his ftf l.11 TlDg k l?1 of his loved one, of his Rembrandt, old, wise, defeated yet triumphant. The little that one can add to his own transendent recital begins with his birth at Leyden In the year 1606. His home was the mill and his parents comfortable bourgeois of Holland. They sent which he had no need. His life was In art. It was unmistakable that he would live by his brush and extraordinary Renins. He did read the Bible and his imagina tion was deeply stirred and was to find expression in his most splendid etchings. The Anatomy Lesson At 21, his fame had reached beyond the bounds of Leyden, as far as Amsterdam. Dr. Tulp, fa mous surgeon of the clinic of Amsterdam, asked him to do a portrait of himself and his pupils. The Anatomy Lesson, boldly or iginal in lighting, became the ac cepted masterpiece of his early period. It brought the young Rem- brandt Immediate and resounding gnitIon. During the year be- wre ne anatomy iesson ne nao painted three commissioned por- traits. In the four years follow- ing one Hundred and two clients came-io'sit lor tne most popular painter of the day. A Dutch his- toriaff relates,- "they flowed in faster, than he could paint them; pupils were only too eager to be allowed - to pay 100 florins to study with the master. He was the man of. the hour." To crown his early success he married Saskia, his friend Hend- rik's wealthy and beautiful or phaned cousin, against the wishes of her guardian -who felt she was marrying beneath her.

Tne Knowledge that Saskia, too. was rich added to his feeling of well being and con fidence in the future and helped to scatter caution to .the winds.

When his working day was over, he removed his makeup and became tame, with a liking for the great and peace ful American game of draw poker, at which, he was reputed to be adept. Mr. Johnson said the "wild man of Borneo" phrase sprang originally from the fact that there were head-hunters far back in the Borneo jungle, who, perhaps, as a fad, perhaps for a reason found ed in superstition, collected hu man heads, which they dried carefuHy and placed artistically about the walls of their homes somewhat as highly civilized folk adorn their walls with the heads of 'deep-and other animals, from which in ftie intensity of a high artistic motive they have remoted them. . i The successful three-day strug STORIES OF Howard Simon BEMBRANDT (SELF POKTKAR1 1M-1M tion they came to him with a com mission to paint a company of the guard, led by Captain Ban ning Cocq.

His reputation t ha t had stood so strong and firm crumbled I be neath the onslaught. . j His productive energy was at its height, but the demand ! for his work had ceased. He grew more and more Involved finan cially.

Little of it remained. 1 There was the sordldnesa of another suit this time it was Geertje Dix who had been nurse to Titus and now brought action against him for breach of prom ise. In the next year her mind had broken. Rembrandt paid for her care. i And all . the time he painted, with deep Insight and Increasing understanding, .searching out and laying bare the troubled souls of his subjects. He painted beggars. the oppressed and poor in the ghetto quarter of Amsterdam where 'he now lodged, his own seamed, careworn likeness.

"The dark continent" (mean- ins Africa), was much darker 60 years ago than it is at present. To venture Into the darker t re gions of that murky division of earth entailed hazards as great as those of polar exploration, and on'cithe stoutest of heart made the venture. These were usually missionaries, fired by a zeal that kept them going when their other forces failed. One of these mis sionaries was a man whose name was David Livingstone, an Eng lishman. This man went tp Africa in 1840, and was absent for 18 years. He went out again in 1858, and again in 1866. Letters were received from him as late as 1868. Then, silence, and the world gave him up as lost or dead. But there were two exceptions. One of these was James Gordon Ben nett ot the New York Herald. The other was Henry M. Stanley, u American newspaper man, whose real name, by the way, was John Rowlands. Mr. Bennett told Stanley that If he would go to Airica and determine what had become of Livingstone he would pay the expense of the trip. To maxe a long story short. Stanley lound Livingstone at a p 1 a c e caned Ujiji in 1871. In 1872 he returned to New York, and wrote a book covering the adventure. Somewhere along the trail which leads back into- the '70s is a copy oi mis dook, which has my eve prints on every page. Livingstone died in 1873. All of which leads up to an announcement from Hollywood that Osa Johnson, Martin's widow. is again in. Africa, going over the old Stanley trail to Ujiji by plane, wnicn means another Johnson film to come presently. At" this point an interested friend remarks that Ujiji is a mighty funny name for a place, ain t itr I reckon he is right. Ujiji is almost as funny as Walla waiia, which is where the criti cizer of Ujiji hails from. -But any name sounds good enough when we become accus tomed to it. Young as I am, I can remember when folks on the east coast thought Chicago was a heck of a name for a town, but It gets respectful attention from all parts or tne world now. Which Just goes to show some thing or other. . Weather, taken by and large, is iiae xne daily news some days run to manies, in others runs to fews. A certain young woman savs she simply adores explorers. Does she Include ants? Two Italian- lads, the Morella brothers, one with a large guitar hung about his neck, the other with' a very small violin, which he carefully conveys from place to place in a cello case, produced most of the laughter on the cur rent bill of vaudeville at the State theatre. There is in their work a suggestion of the old Weber and Fields, technique sure fire hut not frequently met with in these days, either in the stage programs or the pictures. These Morella boys could have contln ued to do their stuff for an hour without any protest from the au dience. Their encore acts were few and short. But perhaps it was just as well. The Joe Brown film Riding on Air," which followed the stage performance, required pretty much all the laugh strength remaining in the audi ence. Joe in this picture runs true to form as a good natured sap always " getting into big trouble and always getting out of It in a big way i. e. in a way to create big laughter. His Salem following is a numerous one. There is a tradition that a na tive of the Willamette valley who was one day observed to he look ing apprehensively at the cloudy sky. This did not seem entirely a normal thing for a native of the Willamette valley to do, be cause such individuals are usually unconcerned as to whether the clouds indicate rain or not. How ever, it turned out that this in dividual had some sort of "crick" in his neck, which caused him to bold his head that way, and the neighbors breathed easier.
