FOIMUDWATZIS' uart. m TO FISH Deposits Ia Chesaake ' Eay Waters Destroy t ub Food Says. Dr. CurLaham , . DURHAM, N. C, Sept 23. After a summer of research work, Dr. Bert Cunningham, head of the department of biology at Trinity College, is of the opinion that the waters of Chesa peake Bay sustain less food fish than other bays of the Atlantic coast be cause of the fact that the bulk of the food of the fish comes in on the tide, while the smaller material is killed by sewerage poisoning or contamina tion from, deposits from industrial plants which line the bay. . ' Dr. Cunningham expressed this opinion after making microscopic ex aminations of 350 samples of water taken -from various depths from the bay.- His theory has not been thor oughly worked out The expert ments were" carried on in the Trinity Coollege laboratory - and at the United States Fisheries Laboratory CHAMZEIt CF COMMERCE HOLDS MONTHLY MEETING at Beaufort Dr. Cunningham was at vaaassr tm Avvoe4 v 'The Southern alleges that the as sessment of -its property in North ; REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS The following deeds have been re-' Carolina at above Ninety-six million eently recorded: Sophia Overton and others to J no.

"We have not named that gentleman yet," re plied Dr. Cunningham to an inquiry as to What the new fellow was called. Another protoioa,' which has - only been listed one before, was found. It is probable that a number of new diatones will be listed from this con tinent for the first time as a result of the experiment.
