) Noise Bombs Used To
\ Protect Oyster Beds
j OLYMPIA, Wash., Dec. 31—Con*
f fronted with the ruinous devastation
) of their oyster beds by the predatory
^ activities of coots and bluebills and
L prevented from routing the invaders
i by the shotgun process because of the
? Federal migratory bird act, members
' of the Olympia Oysteer Growers’ as
^ sociation have launched a novel cam*
^ paign of bloodlless “frightfulness” to
^ protect their bivalves, according to E. j
^ N. Steele, secretary of the organiza- j
k tion.
r with the reported approval of state |
' fish and game officials a speedy |
launch has been equipped with an j
especially designed gun which dis- j
charges a blue carbide flame into the
air at regular intervals and the launch
is also provided with a mortar which
discharges smoke and noise bombs
into the air a distance of 150 yards,
to reach out over the exposed beds
when the tide is too low to approach
the feeding birds.
Piloted by Harry H. Redick, a for
mer service man this craft will cruise
about the beds belching flames and
hurling its noise bombs in hopes that
the thousands of birds which feed on
the oysters may be routed without
depleting the game supply or running
counter to federal game provisions, it
was stated.
The depredations of wild fowl on :
the beds first drew the attention of
i oyster growers about 15 years ago,
I and the present measure grew out
| of the necessity for controlling the
activities of the common foe. Obser
vations made by Federal employes re
| vealed the fact that coots and blue
bills were the chief offenders. A pa
trolman employed three years ago to
shoot ducks, however, got in bad with
the Federal game wardens and shoot
ing was abandoned.
INFORMATION WANTED
The governor’s office is in receipt of
an inquiry from A. P. Gronn, of Bray
ton, Iowa, who states that he has been
informed that his uncle, Claus Paulsen,
last heard from at Seward in 1910 or
1912, died by drowning. He is anxious
to learn the exact date and circum
stances of his death and also whether
he left any estate. Information should
be sent to Commissioner C. R. Morford
Seward, Alaska.
TAXICAB CHAUFFERS HAVE
QUICKEST USE OF MIND
WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.—A college
woman thinks faster than a college
man while driving an auto, but a tax
icab driver thinks fastest of all. This
fact was indicated by tests before the
annual convention of the National
Civil Service Reform ^League. Two
revolvers were mounted, on the under
side of the running board of an auto
mobile. One was fired by an exami
ner pulling a wire and the other auto
matically when the driver started to
apply the brakes. The test was to
determine how quickly the driver’s

SANITARIUM IMPRISONMENT
CHICAGO, Dec. 31.—Suit for $300,
000 against Doctor Sanger Brown
and others connected wth the Ken
ilworth santarium here has been

dent and general counsel of the
Chcago and Northwestern railroad,
who alleged that he was illegally
detained in the sanitarium and lost
his position and an annual salary of
$30,000 as a consequence.
Accordng to Jhis complaint, Shee
an said he was unconscious and
suffering from the effects of a sinus
operatioh in an Evanston hosptal
in August 1923, when he was im
prisoned. He was housed in a wrard
with barred windows and forced to
walk about a yard for four hours
