Professor Karl von: Friscli,
of Munich university, says
fish can 'hear.
They pay no attention to
sound, above or in the water,
because sound means nothing
to the fish, just as Einstein's
theory means nothing .to the
average human.
.' Professor Von Frisch lias
taught one small, blind fish to
come from ; its hiding plane
When he blows a whistle.
M
Darwin says the car of man
is the gill of the fisli, devel
t oped for hearing. Occasion
ally, as dQctors tell you, chil
dren are horn wilh gills woven
on the neck. They must he
sewed up to keep the milk from
running out.
Darwin, himself, couldn't
tell how the eye was developed
or evolved in an animal. Per
haps Von Frisch will clear
that up.
More rioting yesterday by
"reds," ultra-radicals of Ber
lin, who charged the police
with clubs and stones- The
police replied with machine
guns. Two women were, killed
. by automatic rifles as they
stood on a balcony.

Lnhke those that live on tlie
continent, Britishers like poli
tics without gunfire. More
deadly rioting in Berlin will
be bad for the labor party in
Britain.
To -help farmers export sur
plus wheat at a profit, 13 rail
roads from the middle west to
the Atlantic will reduce prices,
temporarily.
That will not enable Anion
can farmers to compete with
Canadian wheat growers.
If Uncle Sam could do for
his farmers what he did for
Canadian farmers in the north-
,' west when he built the Panama
canal, that would help.
Thanks to the Panama canal
northwest Canada can ship
wheat to Kuropc 'much more
cheaply than it can be shipped
from the middle west.
Canada has tihe grain. Bri
tain has the ships. We supply
the canal, giving all nations
the same rate as our own ships.
In Tokio yesterday Prince
Henry, 'third son of King
George, kneeling before the
Mikado Ilirohito, fastened on
his left leg a purple garter.
England's highest order of
knighthood.
On the garter is written in
old French, . "Shame on him
I who thinks evil." 'A British
king is supposed to have
picked tip a lady's garter on
the ballroom floor, and fas
tened it on his own leg.
The mikado- gave Prince
Henry the highest Japanese
decoration, the Grand Order
of the Chrysanthemum, more
dignified and romantic than
the garter-

PORTLAND, Ore. May 4. (P)
Thfi Oregon Inn will say tomororw
that agitation from some sections
of the fruit and vegetable produc
ing centers of the Pacific north
west for exemption of tlie.so com
modities from the operations of the
ponding farm relief bill, brought
Kharp counter attack today from a
.number" . of Oregon co-operatives
'opposing such exclusion.
The exemptions would bo grant
ed under an amendment proposed
by Senator McNary, Oregon, and
subsequently taken over by Senator
Copeland, .New iork.
The demand to be removed from
'the jurisdiction of the proposed
farm board, the Oregonian will say,
has come chiefly from the com
mission merchants in eastern cen
ters, but was also supported by
three marketing organizations in
Medford, Ore.
Opponents of the amendment in
Oregon who wired Senator McNary
today Include ltalph K. Williams,
republican national committeeman,
and Phil Metschan, chairman of
the state central committee, indi
cating that the state organization
lis concerned over the effort to
drop fruits and vegetables from the
farm bill.

sociation of Roseburg.
Senator McNary in reply to the
telegrams In opposition to the
amendment, telegraphed that the
demand for deletion of fruits, and
vegetable's from the list of com-1
modltres affected by the bill has
been strongly presented by almost ;
the same groups which obtained
simitar exemption from the terms
(of the previous McNnry-ITaugen
bill.
They conferred with him di
rectly, but later asked .Senator
Copeland to take charge of the
.ease inasmuch ns the requests
came from commission merchants
in the Empire state.
The Oregon senator believes that
1 the growers who have asked to be
excluded from the provisions of
.this hill are laboring under mis
apprehension ns to Its effect on
.them, not realizing that the pres
,en thill is much different in Its pro
visions, particularly as to fruit and
vegetables from the farm measure
containing the equalization fee.
Apple growers in the Pacific
northwest seem to be most con
cerned lest the agricultural assist
ance to be undertaken by the gov
ernment nffect them adversely, a fid
Senator Jones of Washington may
propose that both apples and pears
be excluded.
The Rogue River Valley Traffic
association at a special meeting
held yesterday nt the chamber of
commerce reaffirmed Its stnnd fa
voring the exclusion of fresh pears
nnd apples from the provisions of
the farm relief bill now before con
gress. The meeting wns called at the
request of 11, JI. Kipp, head of the
marketing committee of the Port
land chamber of commerce, and
officials of tho Southern Pacific
railway, asking the association to
reconsider its opposition.
' The exclusion of fresh pears and
apples Is provided for in an amend
ment presented by Senator Mc
Nary, Introduced at the request of
northwest and California fruit
.growers.
Southern Oregon fruit growers
contend that the Inclusion of pears 1
nnd apples In tho farm relief bill
would place their fruit upon the'
same quality basis, in the eyes of I
eastern and foreign trade, as the
middle western fruit, and even
tually prove a detriment to north
west growers.
The association voted again to
send telegrams to the Oregon dele
gation in congress urulnit them to
vote for the McNary nmendmnet.

crnntz of Oakland, has Impaired
her- chances for an early pnrole

Prison matrons were quoted ns

tamed neither by kindness nor by
discipline, nnd that sho had spent
most of the first seven months of
her term In solitary confinement.
She wns said to have fought with
fellow prisoners, stolen food from
