We have all been familiar with the cry during the pa& few years that "the dollar won't buy as much as formerly." With prices going up daily, that has been the situation. As mo& people know the tide has turned and now the dollar of today in many lines, can buy from one-quarter even up to one-third more thair it could buy even two or three weeks ago, It is simply the working out of.the old laws of supply and demand—they may be slow in proving, but they get -there ju& the same.

THE AUTOMART •'V&- 'VVfr 1 TO NUMBER FUR SEALS Dr. Dallas Hanna WiH Make New Census. Purpeee la to Determine Hew Many Seals Can Be Removed Each Year. Ban Francisco.—Dr. G. Dallas Han na, a member of tlie staff of the Cali fornia Academy of Science, has Juat left here for Alaska, where he will make census of the fur seals on the Prfblloff islands, under the direc tion of the United States bureau of fisheries. Doctor Hanna has been connected with this work each year since 1913. In 1919 it was reported that there were 540.000 animals In the herd. In 1910 when the government first took over the operation of the Island In dustry, there were fewer than 200,000. During the time when this Increase was taking place enough surplus and useless males have been killed and their skins sold at auction to provide the national treasury with $3,500,000 above all "xpenses, according to \V. \V. Siirj.'eant, secretary of the Cali fornia Academy of Science. The purpose of fhe census is chiefly to determine how many animals can be safely removed each year and still' provide for a maximum percentage of increase of the herd. If the increase in lOi'O continues-as heretofore, it is said that there should be about 600,000 of these amphibious fur bearers, by far the largest herd in existence, as well as a surplus of about 30,000 males which can he killed for their skins. At current prices of these furs they will be valued at about $3,000,000. "Since the cost of operation will be I less than $200,000, it Is quite evident that this industry Is one of the best financial enterprises the government 1 has," said .Mr. Sargennt. "It is capable of almost unlimited expansion, provided the females are,i protected :it:sea and the surplus males are removed from the herd. The fight inn of such males on the crowded rook eries causes a large mortality among the females.and young. I "The carcasses of the animals killed were formerly allowed to waste, but last year a by-product plan was put into operation by means of which it is expected a very superior oil and animal meal will be placed on the market. The census wIMeh will be taken in 1020 will enable a close ap proximation to be made of the quan tities of these "products which will be available in the Immediate future."
