Newspaper Page Text8 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. KALEM. OREGON SATURDAY. APRIL 21. lOIU ADVANCE IN BUTTER PRICE ALONG COAST Portland, April 21 dpi Further art vane of lc pound with the ex ception of first whirh rase He pound, was made at the week-end session of the produce exchange. Butterfat buying price advanced 1c pound along with butter. Market for ckkr Is holding much the same as during the last few days. Little chanpe In either buy ing or selling prices has been shown during the week. The demand lor storaee remains favorable. Indicating a somfwhut better sit uation Is the announcement of Swift Ac Co., of an advance of 1 r pound In the selling price on Cinquille val-i ley offermcs of both triplets and loaf. Oreuon Swi-w demand is re ported above supply. At the week-end there was a well hel-i price on utriv, berries with Cahfnrii'iin p nerr.llv c-ntinu'-d around $1.25 rrate for 24s while Orer-on was $2 for the best. Qual ify better all around. Hie her p.lces have been forced In asparagus as a result of the liberal carload demand from the east which mid-Columbia shippers are making a desperate effort to fill. Fir.st arrival of new white po tatoes of the season is reported in from Khaftcr, Calif- somewhat ear lirr than usual. This gives the new potato trade a supply from various sections of the south and southwest DOLLAR FALLS IN GOLD TERMS New York, April 21 (LP) The dol Ictr continued to decline in terms of principal gold currencies today. It was near levels at which It would be profitable to export gold to Eu rope. The French franc opened at 8.61 cents, up l'i points from yesterday's close, and within a point or so of the level at which it would be prof' liable to ship American gold to Eu rope. As the franc rises more dollars can be bought for a given number of francs. The dollars then are con verted Into gold at the treasury, and the gold shipped to France where It can be converted back into francs at the Bank of France. When the franc level Is high enough to result In obtaining more francs for the gold than were spent to buy the dollars in the first place, gold will be taken from the United States. The same applies to other gold standard currencies. At today's franc level tlie dollar would be worth 99.31 cents In the new gold parity on the basis of gold at $35 per ounce. Franc parity is 6.1)3 3-8 cents. The pound sterling eased a cent Irom yesterdays close to $5.16 and the Scandinavian units eased with it. The Canadian dollar firm ed cent to $1.00V NEW TECHNIQUE IS SAVING LIVES Moscow UP) A new technique for major abdominal 0erations. which its originator believes will save many lives, recently has been perfected by a Soviet surgeon, Pro fessor 8. I. Spaso-Kukotsky. The surgeon, after years of prac tice, became convinced that many patients died from stomach opera tions because they were deprived of food for some hours before go ing under the knife. Consequently, he reasoned, vitality was exhausted and the formation of dangerous acids In the intestines was facili tated. In his earlier attempts to coun teract this condition, SjMiso-Kukot-sky introduced into the Intestines, following the operation, a "break fast" of spirits, butter, eggs and milk. He estimated that half a liter of tlil.s concoction continued 4.000 calories. As a result of restoring the patient's vigor by this nutri tious food, the surgeon estimated that he reduced fatalities from ab dominal operations from 16 to 4.1 per cent. Lately, Rpjso-Kukotsky even has gone further and has begun feed ing patients a liu-ht but nutritious diet in advance ol the operation As a result, he contents that the patient Is put In a condition to permit oerations with local rather than general anesthetics. Spaso-Kukotskv's technique, it Is understood, is being adopted by a nutnuer or oilier Soviet surgeons. Fish Output Ahead Of Pack During 1933 Fan Francisco. Cal. (tP) From Ban Francisco to New York and re turn on sardine cans! It could be done, for if all the one-pound oval aardine cans packed In California were placed end to end they would make a straight line 6.000 miles long. And to move all tlie canned fish, fish oil, fish meal and other fish products would require 5.800 freight cars. California Is far ahead of Its 1932 output, ten varieties of alt water fish used for canning and manufacture of fishery pro ducts showed a 35 per cent Increase for 1J3.

April 21 (LP) Indica tions that proceeds from United States cotton and wheat loans to China had been used for political purposes which Increased threats against Asiatic peace, were behind Japan's restatement of China poli cy, Ambassador Hiroshl Saito told the United Press today. Saito said that most commercial loans to China eventually find there w-ay into military use, which was particularly disturbing to Japan as a neighbor. For this reason Japan proposed in Its restatement of pol icy that the powers take care about what kind of aid they give China. Tlie reconstruction finance cor poration last year advanced $50,000,- 000 for wheat and cotton sales to China. Only about $10,000,000 was used. Japan has no Intention of closing the "open door" of trade with China to other nations, the ambassador said, but only wishes that China shall not rely upon distant nations, whose Interests are less Involved than Japan's, for military assistance disturbing to general Oriental tran quility. The ambassador cited recent avia tion expansion in China and fears of some Japanese that this might be turned on them. LICENSES REVOKED J Washington, April 21 (LP) Secre tary of Agriculture Henry A.

KING ALBERT KEEPS PROMISE Cologne (LP) The strange story of an International boundary, which resulted from personal gratitude, has Just come to light here. It throws a new light on the character of the late King Albert of the Belgians. Shortly before the World war Al bert was making a tour of the Bel gian eastern frontier, when he sud denly was affected with a severe inflammation of the tonsils. His physician recommended an Immediate operation by a German surgeon at Aachen, near the fron tier, who was renowned for his throat operations. Tiie physician was summoned; successfully remov ed the tonsils; the King, in addition to presenting him with a handsome fee, assured him that If In the fu ture he ever was able to do him a favor, he would gladly. The promise was forgotten during the war, but with the Armistice new frontiers were arranged which would have placed the surgeon's country home within Belgian terri tory. The stirgeon did not wish to be come a Belgian subject. He remem bered the King's promise and wrote him, asking If anything could be done to keep the land German. The King had not forgotten. The result of the request was a large curve In the Belgian frontier which restored the property to German territory. FRUIT PACKERS TO ESTABLISH RULES Green fruit packers and dchyd- rators of eastern Washington and eastern Oregon will meet in Joint conference at Pendleton May 21 to establish uniform rules and reg ulations covering employment of : women and minors, it was announc-, ed here today by C. H. Gram, sec retary of the state welfare commis- j sion. I The session was called both by the Oregon commission and the . state industrial welfare commission of Washington. In addition to the conditions at fee ting women and children a minimum wage for work- I ers in these industries will be set. ! Today berry growers of western Oregon were In session at Salem to discuss a uniform minimum wagel for berry pickers during the present season. The CWA minimum wage has resulted In growers attempting to agree on a code of their own because they felt they could not pay the 5o cents an hour minimum wage set by the federal government. 1 1 ACTION NOTED IN HOP TRADING Pacific coast hop markets, par ticularly in Oregon and Washing ton, developed sharply increased ac tivity during the week ended April 19, under the Influence of an Im proved domestic demand as the re sult of warmer weather, according to the weekly hop market review of the United States bureau of agri cultural economics. Sales by grow ers in the three coast states during the period totaled around 1,700 bales, and constituted the heavi est movement for several weeks past. Prices held about unchanged from those which have prevailed during recent weeks, ranging from 20c to 30c per pound, net to grow ers, with the wide variation de pending upon quality, and to some extent the district where grown. Tlie improved domestic inquiry was attributed to heavier needs of brew ers as the result of warmer weath er, with consequent Improvement in beer consumption. Oregon markets were quite ac tive during the week as the result of a materially Improved domestic inquiry. Various lots, consisting of 34 bales, 69 bales, 125 bales, 25 bales, 45 bales and 73 bales, totaling 371 bales, of 1933 crop fair prime qual ity clusters, netted growers 25c per pound. Two hundred and seventy- six bales of good mediums brought grower 22c, with 133 bales of about the same quality netting 22 '.ic, and 93 bales bringing 23c per pound. Fifteen bales of baby" hops net ted grower 20 cents per pound. These sales reached a total of 886 bales, the heaviest in Oregon mar ket for some weeks. No interest in term contracts was reported in Oregon during the period, and in quiry for older growth hops was lacking.

Salem, April ll SEA DEMENS C New York UP) Three weird deni zens of (he sea, hitherto unknown to scientists, have bevn found among; the lisius obtained lrom the deep waters of the Atlantic off Puerto Rico. Described by Dr. George S. My ers, atfcistant curator, division of fishes, of the U. S. National Mu seum, tiie first has been named Johnsonlna eriomma. It is the "big eye" fish. Each eye is about one fifth as long as the diameter of the body. A man's eyes, tn the samo ratio, would be about a foot Umg and about eight inches high. In addition, this creature has two fafe eyes on its side near the tail. Unless they are intended to de ceive tlie creature's enemies, tha purpose of these false eyes is not known. Their existence would not have been detected had it not been for a painting of the fish by FJI Cheverlange, artist of the Johnson Smithsonian Deep Sea expedition, as soon as It was dragged from depth of some 150 or 300 fathoms. Incidentally, at such a depth, which is just about on the borderline of eternal darkness, eyes would be of little service to an animal. Only one other such "eye-fish" has been discovered about a half a century ago. A second stranee creature of the depths is called Peristedlon barts chl. nnd is a unique "armored" gur nard. It is a bottom dweller and Ita v hole body Is armored with spiny nlates bearing a very sharp spine :ibout a quarter of an inch long. There are nearly a hundred of these on the body of this particular fish, and to top otf Its threat to other fishes it is colored brirht red.
