the Italians.

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.

CHILLY WEATHER
PERKS UP TRADE
New York. Aug. 30. ffli
Chill weather boomed retail
trade in many communities this
week. Dun & Bradstreet report
ed today.
"Buying was particularly
spirited in women's and chil
dren's apparel and in home fur
nishings lines," the mercantile
agency said, "but trade bene
fitted generally from the in
crease in store traffic.
"Advertised specials in furni
ture, blankets, back-to-school
wear and furs were said to
have attracted good response.
"For the second consecutive
week comparisons of retail
trade volume with those of a
year ago revealed a slight wid
ening of the margin of gain.
LISTEN TO RIVAL
