()tnatenai mndpkaU) Two Countries Push Drive To Save Atlantic Salmon Washington The Alantic salmon, a staple food since the days of the cave man, may be served from extinction by the United States and Canada. Both countries are surveying spawning streams, providing for elimination of dams or the con struction of fish ladders and re duction of commercial pollution in rivers favored by the species Canada still has a com para tively small commercial fishery but work in the United States is largely confined to preserving the salmon as a game fish. ' The Romans relished the firm, pink flesh of the Atlantic salm on. They imported the fish in quantities from British and Gal lic provinces. In the first century A.D., Pliny the Elder wrote: "In Aquitania (France) the river salmon surpasses all the fishes of the sea." ' Archeologists working in the Pyrenees district of southern Deep Mine Shaft Reaches Sea Level Lead, S D. (UP.) There's a spot in mile-high Lead, S.D., tnat is a mile deep. It's a shaft in the Homestake gold mine. Sea level was reached recently by crews which are deepening operation is 5,900 feet below the surface. ; The Homestake is one of the deepest mines in the world. On a sea-level basis, the Mag na copper mine at Superior, Ariz., is the lowest in the United States. The mine is down to 1,200 feet below sea level, al though its total depth 4s only 3,400 feet. . The deepest mine in the world probably is in the Kolar gold fields in India. That mine is about 7,100 feet below sea level with a total depth of about 10, 000 feet. French Legation Restored in Texas Austin, Tex. U.P.) French legation that was the scene of many social functions more tljan 100 years ago when Texas was a republic has been restored. The Daughters of the Republic of Texas spearheaded the drive to raise the necessary funds. The state of Texas turned the legation over to the patriotic or ganization to act as custodians in 1949. In the last seven year, the organization has been rais ing a considerable sum of money to restore the legation. . , Now the job is complete and the legation will become one of the show places of this capital city of Texas. Texas was a republic from 1836 until 1845 'when it was ad mitted to the Union. France have uncovered an an cient piece of reindeer bone decorated with the picture of a salmon. In American colonial days the breed was so plentiful that in dentures of apprentices specified they could be fed salmon not more than twice a week. The Alantic salmon goes through five distinct phases. Eggs are laid and fertilized on the gravel bottoms of streams when the temperature is approximately 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Months later, the alevin or fry emerges. A large yolk sac sustains the little fish for about a month. Then it begins to feed j on small insects. Soon after, the , still tiny salmon reaches the parr j stage. In this period it is marked with , vertical bands, 'red and j black spots, 'and a forked tail, j Nourished by aquatic life, the parr lives in the. fresh water j stream from ten months to two ! years. Then comes the migration ! urge. At.this point the parr sheds its distinctive marking and at- j tains the silvery hue of the adult salmon. It is now known as a smolt. Grows Xt Sea . Flashing downstream to . the ; ocean, the smolt . begins it's sea water career. It feeds largely on crustaceans and grows rapidly. Presently, it changes its tail and , fin structure and becomes a j grilse.'. ' Although grilse have been known to return to spawning streams, in their, first year, most remain in the ocean two years I or more,, feeding heavily and j reaching weights of .30 to , 40 pounds. ' ' ! ' ' ! Before fish experts proved that : the Atlantic ' salmon undergoes major physiological changes, in j each phase the fish was thought : to be a separate species. ! One trait of Salmo salar works in favor of the conservationists. Unlike the five distinct kinds of I Pacific salmon, the Atlantic salmon does not die after spawn- j ing. Some go back to the sea and I return for egg-laying as many as j four times. Atlantic salmon are I called kelt in this final stage of their lives. 1 i Odds High Against Collecting Life Insurance Chicago (U.R) The odds are almost 100-to-l against a policy holder ever collecting on his own straight life insurance pol icy. At least, that's the conclusion of statisticians who draw up the mortality tables for insurance companies. . , A 96-year-old great - grand mother of Elmhurst, 111., is an ex ception to that rule. Mrs. Emma Glos received a 550,000 check from her insurance company thanks to her longevity. Don't Cover Lawn With New Top Soil. Kansas . City, Mo. tU.P.) If you had planned to cover your entire lawn with new top soil, don't do. it.' It's posible to get by simply by using top soil to fill depressions and dips in the lawn. Kentucky bluegrass is strong enough to do the Jest, experts say. Twenty agronomists and turf grass experts 'agreed that "al most any lawn can be fertilized into acceptability" for Kentucky bluegrass and high quality blue grass mixtures. The Better Lawn and Turf In stitute said the trouble with buying top soil was that' there was a good chance if might be no- better than the soil the lawn already possessed. Kentucky bluegrass came to America from Europe and Asia. It needed to help in conquering the continent and becoming the finest lawn grass known. However, a little help won't hurt Kentucky bluegrass. This may include giving it the sun, rain or waterings, and plant food. Like lesser grasses that grow wild,' it's self-sufficient to a great degree and will help build its own top soil.
