FUR FARM YIELDS U.S. GREAT PROFIT (One Million Dollar Crop of Seals Harvested Seattle, Wash., Nov. 16. (A—Un- ele Sam proved his ability as a fur farmer' this year by harvesting a million dollar crop of seals and at the same time adding some §2,3 little Pribilof islands, 300 miles west of the Alaskan mainland in the Bering sea, is the summer home of the world's largest seal herd. The valuable ammals are protected and controlled by the United States andsince 1911, when killing on the high seas was prohibited by treaty, only the-bureau of fish- erles has taken seals and marketed furs. During the summer 31,098 seals were killed and when the furs are tanned they will have an average value between $35 and £40. A cen- sus showed that the herd increased 62,642 during the last year, number- ing 871,513 as compared with S08 8§70 a year ago. In th the eighteenth century, “farm” the start of pelagic sealing, the seals | totaled 5,000,000, Wholesale slaughter had cut the number to 250,000 by 1911. Under government control only three- year-old males are taken, Leing left to assure the herd's normal growth. This year § 852 three-year-olds were branded for enough | | periencing breeding purposes. The growth of the herd added more than $2,000,000 to the value of the Pribilofs during the year. The seals have an estimated value of $30,000,000, When this year's harvest is sold the islands will have yielded the United States about $17,000,000 in revenue, al- most two and a half times the purchase price of Alaska. St. Paul and St. George, largest of Uncle Sam’s four ‘“treasure is- lands,” are the summer breeding grounds of the seals. In the fall the animals leave for deep sea southern waters, to return in the late spring. FICKLE STYLE New York, Nov. 16. (P—Growing dominance of style in printed silk goods is said to be causing m-nu.} facturers no little worry because of the inability to establish staple lines for which a demands always | may be expected. The modern woman apparently desires not only brighter color: but originality in silk designs Many manufacturers are said vir- tually to have been forced to con-' of “style| centrate on production goods” in the prevailing mode and constantly face the danger of over- production of lines which may b in demand today and discarded to- morrow. “Staple goods,” or the “bread and butter” lines, for which | there normally is always a demand | consequently have been pushed into the background. “Pirating” of designs by competitors has cre- ated an additional risk. Hosiery manufacturers are ex- similar difficulties, al- though not to so great an extent. snce it is easier and quicker to change dyes to meet current de- mand than to alter desgns of printed silk. NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1928. GASOLINE TESTED FOR LOGK STAGE Experts Seek to Correct Erratic Action Washington, Nov. 16 (P—Study of aviation gasoline to determine which fuels are less apt to develop a con- dition known as ‘“vapor locl or their erratic performance at high | altitudes, is now under way at the Bureau of Standards. Gas bubbles forming in the ar- buretor jet or elsewhere in the fuel system are believed to hold the fuel back and cause permanent or tem- | porary interruption of the gasoline | supply flowing into the engine. The | | vapor forms in the fuel tubes and | “locks” the normal gasoline suppl. | flow, causing the engine to sputtel and its pilot. The gasoline studies, being car- ried on under the direction of H. K Cummings, chiet of the engine lab- | oratories at the Bureau of Stan- dards, are made under the same condifions found at from 15,000 to 260.000 feet in the air through the use of the only altitude engine test-| | ing chamber in the United States. The special altitude chamber, | which produces pressures found in the upper atmospheres up to 30,000 feet and their corresponding sub- zero temperatures, is large enough to rig up a regular aircraft engine with all of the necessary devices| for studying its performance. The chamber also is used for testing | blamed for airplane engine {mlurfli or fail and endangering the plane airplane engines and their charges to determine the performan e at high altitudes with- out risking the lives of pilots, ob- servers or planes in flight. Early studies have shown that gasoline containing an excess of the more volatile constituents or of dissolved gases are most likely to cause the formation of the gas bub- bles and produce the dangerous “vapor lock” condition. It s be- lieved by the Bureau of Standards’ experts that the present aviation gasoline standard, which is designed to limit the velatility of gases and eliminate *vapor lock,” excludes some gasplines which are not likely to cause the condition and admits others which are apt to produce it.

A six furlong sprint for maiden two year olds opens the winter race meeting at Jefferson Park, Thursday, November 29, with the $5,000 Thanksgiving handicap at a mile ard seventy yards for all ages as the feature of the inaugural card. ; This program marks the opening of the annual winter racing season that extends into early spring when |’ the annual trek to northern tracks begins. Scores of thoroughbreds, number- ing among them such stars as Crys- tal Pennant, winner of the rich Coftroth handicap, Justice F, fres quent stake winner this seas®n, Black Maria, Igloo, Helen's Babe horses, are quartered at the two tracks. Earle Sande, who earned his jockey spurs as an apprentice boy on New Orleans tracks, will make his local debut as an owner-trainer, at Jefferson Park Thanksgiving Day. His Nassak and Bravery have been nominated for the handi cap against Hal Price Headley Mike Hall, C. A. Co: and 8ea Rocket, Charlie Graftagni- ni's Monitaur and other possible starters. The winter meeting at Jefferson Park consists of 28 days of racing. The fair grounds meeting opens January 1 and continues to Febru- ary 12, when the scene shifts to Jefferson for s short meeting, tthe final day of which will see the out- standing three year olds go to the post in the Louisiana Derby as an unofficial trial for the Derby. The big stake event at the fair grounds will eb the New Orleans handicap at a mile and seventy yards for al lages. The purse of the fixture has been cut from $50.- 000 to $25.000 this year because of losses by the Loulsiana Jockey Club last year, but it is still conted upon as a drawing card for outstanding handicap horses. 2 LAW OBSERVANCE Surprise Campaign By State Police proves Startling Boston, Nov. 16.
