CALIFORNIA “U” CUTS
JOURNALISTIC CLASSES
i -
BERKKELEY, Cal., Sept. 13 (by As
sociated Press).—Journalism classes
at the University of California were
suspended when the fall semestei
opened here, because, it was an
nounced, of the need for strict econ
omy and the inability of the univer
sity to obtain experienced instructors
there. Students requesting journal
ism instruction are being referred tc
one course in the English depart
ment. This class, it is expected, will
be the nucleus for later development
of journalism work.

WEST SAYVILLE, N. Y. Sept. 14
(by Associated Press).—Propagation
of young oysters all ready to “set
out,” guaranteed to multiply with pro
per care into a flourishing brood, may
result from experiments just conclud
ed by W. F. Wells of the New York
Conservation Commission, who recent
ly issued a report on his extensive
study of oyster breeding.
Mr. Wells, at his laboratory on the
shore of the Great South Bay, has suc
ceeded in keeping alive millions of '
young oysters from, the larva to the |
“set” stage. In his report he said
that hatcheries modeled after his
plant can be built wherein the oysters
man be incubated until time to set
them out into deep waters.
His method for developing oyster
“sets” from oyster seed, or spawn,
removes one of the chief obstacles in
the commercial propagation of oysters,
Mr. Wells said.
“The seeds are so small,” he ex
plained, “from the time they are laid
by the oysters until they are mature
enough to attach themselves to a sur
face in sets, that experimenters have
had the keeping of the tiny shellfish
supplied with a fresh supply of salt
water and food without washing them
all down the drain.
“When the oysters reach the set
stage, they can safely be put in the
beds to fend for themselves. After
that time the oyster grows very rapid
ly for a period of some weeks and
gains full maturity within three or four
years.”
une or the chiet obstacles, that of
handling the larvae or tiny eggs,
while changing their water, the report
says, w'as overcome by the use of a
centrifugal machine, which concen
trates the eggs in a small receptacle.
The hatching apparatus was made of
a series of large inverted glass car
boys, fitted with tubes which per
rnitted a fresh supply of salt water and
air to percolate so gradually that the
development of the eggs was not re
tarded. Microscopic examination is
necessary in following the gradual de
velopment of the egg to the “set”
stage.
Mr. Wells declared it is a well
known fact that in the last 10 years
the production of oysters has been
very much reduced. It was to deter
mine the exact cause of this reduction
he said, that his studies were under
taken. It has been suggested, he said,
that pollution of the waters has in
jured many of the most productive
beds in Connecticut and in the vicin
ity of New York.
AUSTRALIANS DISCUSS
U. S. PROHIBITION
_
AUSTRALIA, Sept. 14 (by Associa
ted Press).—Prohibition in the Uni
ted States was discussed in the an
nual report of the Federal Viticultural
Council of Australia recently made
public here. The report declared pro
i hibition forces in America faced an
I emergency caused by opposition to the
law.
After mentioning that the supreme
, court has upheld the constitutionality
of the prohibition law, the report said
. that at “the height of their victory
the American prohibitionists have
been brought rudely to earth by the
great wave of revulsion against the
‘bone dry’ enforcement of the law,
which is sweeping through the east
ern states.
“The war cry ‘England next’ has
been forgotten in the emergency of the
situation at home” the report contin
ued. “From far and wide there are
arising demands for information con
cerning the methods employed by the
Anti-Saloon League in raising funds
the alleged use of which such funds
and the alleged use to which such
funds have been put.
