Reyburu, chairman of the board of the Associated Dry Goods corporation, believes that department stores- bene tit more from advertising in newspapers and magazines than by use of other mediums. In an address prepared for delivery Wednesday at a banquet honoring him on completing twenty-five years with the retailing chain, ho said department store advertising would continue to go to newspapers because of "grear^r visibility and longer life." Department stores, he said, are giving constantly greater care to assuring truthful statements in their advertising. TOseaplng from the zoo in Rio do Janeiro.

AUTOMATIC INSTRUMENTS AID SAFE HIGHWAY DESIGN ' Highways of tho future will ho designed for easier, safer travel, as a result of studies now being conducted by the I)ureau of Public: Roads. How best to fit tho highway ty the needs and desires of the driver, and to perii?11 uninterrupted travel at any reasonable speed, will he revealed by ingenious instruments soon to be placed tin operation on typical roads throughout the country. Ten years ago a detailed traffic I count was almost a novelty; now it is an essential tool of the highway designer. Adequate speed records are now available only in rare cases but (lie next decade will see an extension 'of speed measurement. In the future, S t ho Bureau believes, speed will be regularly "metered" on all Important highways. in the past, highway research has necessarily been devoted to the development of strong, durable surfaces. J Now that pavement design Is well advanced, emphasis in research will be shifted to tho facility with which traffic can move over these surfaces, so that highway design may keep pace with the constant improvement in the motor vehicle. Already, at hundreds of points throughout the country, automatic' traffic recorders actuated by electric eyes are on the job twenty-four hours a day. counting the passing vehicles and. at hourly intervals, recording the number counted. At still more points, portable counters, actuated by small pneumatic switches or by almost un* notireable treadles, obtain counts over shorter periods, to lit in with the more complete records from nearby electric-1 eye counters. On wide roads, other instruments will record the number of vehicles using each lane. "Speed meters" recently developed by the Bureau of Public Roads will record the exact speed of every vehicle passing selected points on the highway. They also will record the distance between vehicles, or the headway each driver maintained. From these records, the capacities of fmthways of different widths will be found, standards of safe design set up, and reasonable speed limits, based on engineering Investigation rather than guesswork, may be established. Other devices will record on all types of grades, curves and straightways the transverse position of each vehicle using the highway. From these records can be found the most effective width of lane, the limits to which the roadway may he curved wi'hout inconvenience or discomfort ; to the drivers, and the amount that i urii'S iniiM be banked to insure safej'> Willi insuuuieiit records, i |lt. bitj ;: ,ia points out. future highway design | ; n > ho baon e-timates ami! ; . i - s a; 11 p: i' >: i s The highway will be 1-Mum d to tit the driver, trom actual! fe. or.is made by the drivers themMrs. Horton Dies At Westville Kershaw, May 22.?

BLACK BASS The information of law* of the several states regulating the lukuig of the black bass as compiled by the t lilted States bureau of fisheries is enlightening ami awakening. South Carolina stands out conspicuously as the one state complete lit Its observance of no closed season, no size limit, no daily bag limit, and permitting the sale of game fish nine mouths in ttie year. Forty-four stated declare a closed season against all tlshing for peitods ranging from 30. 4<) and 45 days in Kansas, North Carolina and Indiana, to six and eight months In many states. Georgia has a closed season from April 15 to June 1. l^ven Fiorina witli its expanse of fresh water and tremendous tisli population sees the need for conservation during the spawning period and prohibits the taking of any bass between March 15 and May 20. South Carolina has no closed season. Forty of our states proclaim a size" limit on the game tlsh that may be taken from their waters. Idaho and Wisconsin are satisfied with six Inches for bass, while Florida and North Carolina demand twice that, or 12 inches, as the minimum. Twentyfive states have agreed on 10 inches. South Carolina has no size limit on her bass." Two states only, Georgia and South Carolina, say "take all you want", except South Carolina says "take all you want, every day, any size." Michigan. Nebraska, North Dakota and Uiiio. trim tlie anglen_.eloaual,?whenI they delate five baas the dally lliult. Delaware, Indiana, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island, allow half-u-dojteu. Claris excosHive with 30, but fifteen states agree on 10 llsh as the dally baas limit. South Carolina hus no dally limit. It is interesting to note that some states have the dally limit measured In pounds, Colorado and Maine say "10 pounds and one Huh," while several states gives the option between pounds of llsh and number of llsh. I'tah with Its large limit adds "or 10 pounds and one llsh." Wyoming allows 15 pounds or 20 llsh. Six ,stales prohibit the sale of black bass If the llsh are taken within the state; 38 states prohibit the salt* regardless, where the tlsh may he taken, while South CJarollna prohibits the sale only during April, May and June, and then only if the llsh are taken within the state. The large mouth black bass, which has beeu referred to as "Inch for Inch and pound for pound, the finest fish that swims," abounds In South Carolina and thrives In every state in the union, it is truly our national fish. Succeeds in ponds and streams, clear water and water-not-so-clear, in fresh water and brackish waters. Spawns In early spring? when the water reaches a temperature of t>3 degrees?with the male guarding the nest during Incubation. Cannot bo hatched artificially but must reproduce itself In natural habitat. It is not protected In ^South Carolina during Its spawning period. BACK DOOR TO EUROPE Dardanelles, Owned By Turkey. Are of Vast Importance at Present Time. Turkey. owner of the Dardanelles, has been us popular recently us a beautiful. young heiress. Statesmen from (treat Britain, Germany, Human- j la, and Soviet Russia have sought assurances as to control of the s'raits' that would he helpful to their > "iiutries iu case of war. "The Strait of the Dardanell- s is the southern exit of one of the most j strategic waterways of the En-tern I Hemisphere." says a bulletin from the! Washington, D. C., headquarters ofj the National Geographic society. "The! Dardanelles, the Sea of Marmora, and the Straight of the Bosporus together form a 172-mile long bottleneck cutting through western Turkey and joining Europe's two busiest seas, the Black and the Mediterranean. The Dardanelles has spelled victory and defeat since the days of its fame as tile Hellespont, when Xerxes < rossed it on his bridge of boats. Only through the straits can world1 shipping reach the oil and lumber ports of Rumania and the lower Danube. the grain ports of the Russian Ukraine, and the traditional trade of Istanbul (Constantinople). Of the four Black sea coast countries-?Turkey, Bulgaria, Rumania and the U. S. S. R?two have no ports except those reached through tho Dardanelles. The international Importance of" Dardanelles shipping Is indicated by! ships making port in Chenak, first! harbor encountered at the southern j end oT the struits. In a sample year,: only five per cent of the tonnage was carried by Turkish vessels. Two dozen other countries, Including the United j States, sent their Hags into Turkey's, port, but f?S per cent of the commerce' was carried by Great Brit.r,:i. Italy. Greece, Norway and Soviet Russia. ' This varied shipping passes through a natural "toll gate" so important that history has recorded continual war-1 fare for its control since Agamemnon.' 1,2"0 years before Christ, b-d his! | Greeks against the wails of Troy near the Dardanelles' southern shore Flow-. ! Ing through a crack between Europe ! and Aa:a_ tho Straits separata the Black sea from the Mediterranean by double doors with a vestlbul- In between. The southern door is the strait of the Dardanelles, thirty-five miles of winding waterway na: rowing from four miles to 17-0 of a mfle across. The vestibule is the Sea of Marmara, about the size of Dake Champlaiiv The northern door Is the seventeen-mile Strait of the Bosporus, shorter and narrower than its southern counterpart, diminishir. g from 1 1-2 miles to a third of that width. The two straits give this water corI ridor a total of fifty-two miles-'more | than th.- length of the Panama . anal ? ! where the shores are not over four j miles apart A fort anywhero along 'the fifty-two miles of narrows would 'have a greater patrol value than Gi. braltar. which must overlook a nlnei mile reach of water. x I One of the most discussed campaigns of the World War was that of the Allies in the attempt to dislodge Turkish forces from the hilly Gallipoli peninsula on the northwest aide of the Dardanelles. Seeking to open tne straits for communication with Rumania and Russia, the British, French, Australian and Indian divisions laid siege to the strategic waterway ^in April. 1915, for a nine-month stalemate. They withdrew by night the following January, leaving the Turks still firmly entrenched, although with a dangerous scarcity of ammunition. The stopper was pulled out of the straits bottleneck by neutralizing its waters, much as the Panama and the | Suez canals are proclaimed neutral, | and the internationalized sections of | the Rhine and the Danube. Neutral status was established by I treaty in 1920. In July, 1936, Turkey received official sanction on plans to I refortlfy the straits from the "inter5 e.sted states." which had signed the ! original convention. These were BuiI garia, France, Greece, Italy, Japan. [ Rumania, Soviet Russia, Turkey, | United Kingdom and Yugoslavia. I Kxcept during those sixteen demilii tarlzed years. Turkey has ruled the j Dardanelles since 1453, when Constantinople (Istanbul) the Unoonquerj able was conquered by the latest Asl' atlc Invaders of Europe. Since the World war. 97 per cent of Turkey is I confined to Asia, but the European three per cent gives that country both sid?-s of the straits, and power to control ,me of the strategic crossroads of world history. For where the straits guard the great north-south water mure from the Black sea to the Mediterranean. a lure to adventurers since Jason braved it with his Argonauts, there too passes the great land route from Europe to Asia. Today's railroad to Bagdad follows the trail marked by camel caravans, which : served world trade until da Gama found another route and De I^sdeps I made still another. CONGRESSMAN RICHARDS MEETS WITH CHIEF ON NEUTRALITY Special to The Chronicle. Washington. L>. C., May 23.?President Roosevelt last Friday requested Congressman James P. Richards, of the Fifth district of South Carolina, a member of the house committee on Foreign Affairs, to Come to the White House for a conference relative to the future foreign policy of the United States and the all-important question of neutrality legislation now pending before congress. For an hour Und a half the President and his conferees uiscussed neutrality and the possible advantageous proposals to be included in a bill to be presented at this session of congress. Secretary of state, Cordell Hull; speaker of the house of representatives. William P. Bankhead, of Alabama; Democratic leader, Sani Rayburn, of Texas; congressman Bloom, of New York, chairman of the Foreign Affairs committee and congressman James A. Shanjey, of Connecticut, were the others called to the White House, along with congressman Richards. Benjamin Franklin attended school for only two years, between the ages of eight and ten.

Since 1934, when Roichfuhrer Adolf Hitler took over the dual office of president and chancellor, Germany has added to her domain some 6o,000 square miles of territory and 18,,000,-J 000 people by plebiscite, absorption and occupation. In all, says'' a bulletin from the Washington, D. C., headquarters of the National Geographic Society, Greater Germany today extends over an area of more than 246,000 square miles, with roughly 84,000,000 inhabitants. Year by year the record of her growing strength has lengthened; the Saar district, returned by plebiscite in 1935; the German. Rhine and Elbrivers, with the Kiel canal and other waterways, taken back under Reich jurisdiction in 1936; the League of Nations, supervision over German Upper Silesia terminated in 1937; Austria and Stidetenland absorbed in 1938; lioliemia-Moravia occupied and Memel territory regained In the first quarter of 1939. On economic terms, natural resources?poor Germany has thus won in the past five years vast reserves. From the Saar has come coal, plus j one of Europe's most active industrial I centers. i From Czocho-Slovakla s former provnlces of Bohemia and Moravia, Germany has gained grain, flax, timber, coal, iron, radium, gold and silver. From Austria (along with that country's economic troubles), she has Inherited hay, clover, and potato crops, dairy products, lumber, coal and Iron. With the Sudetenland, pared from Czecho-Slovakia under the agreement of Munich, more mineral wealth, more factories have been acquired. The territory of Memel, formerly Lithuanian, has given Germany an additional strategic seaport on the Baltic. I Of the eighteen million people recently placed under control of the Reich, more than one-third, mostly in former Czech territory, are non-Germanic.
