W) The governor general of the Sudan announced today that two American missionaries were killed and two wounded by "de liberate" Italian machine-gun ning of an Isolated missionary post in the Sudan. The governor-general of the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan Is a Brit ish officer appointed by Egypt with British assent. Administra tion, however, is carried out through British district com missioners. The large territory, just south of Egypt, has been under repeated Italian attack, partic ularly on the eastern frontier near Gallabat, opposite Ethiopia and Kassala. opposite Eritrea. The governor's report said that two Italian planes attacked Doro, an isolated station of the Sudan interior mission, in Up per Nile province about S3 miles southwest of Kurkuk, Au gust 23.

The Grieves were said to have run out of the mission sta tion waving a large American flag but that this failed to ward off the machine-gun attack by the Italians. i K T it K I I X J I v .V. O 5-1 t-w -Jm FISH LIFE STORY TOLD BY SCALES BIOLOGIST SAYS Solomons, Md., Aug. 30. JFl Fish scales were described to day as virtual "biographies" telling not only the age, but the origin of fish and how many times they have spawned. They also tell, more accurate ly than heretofore possible, whether shad or rock are being "over-fished" to extinction in any given localities. This new technic, vastly im portant In conservation, was de veloped by Dr. R. A. Nesbit of the U. S. fish and wild life service and David H. Wallace of the Chesapeake biological laboratory here. Scales of fish are better age indicators than teeth in. horses. They show annual growth "rings" much like the annular rings in trees, Wallace ex plained. These "rings" appear on that portion of the scales shaped like an inverted "V" which lies next to the skin. Under micro I scopes, they show up as blank i spaces where new scale was not laid down due to slowed growth during winter. The scale's first-year rate of I growth depends upon such fac tors In the aquatic environment as food supply, salinity, and temperature. By measuring this growth, Wallace can tell whether a fish was born in the Hudson river, off North Caro lina, in Chesapeake bay, or even in what part of the Chesa peake bay tributaries.
