RAISE FIVE BILLION FISH

WASHINGTON. July 19. The output of the government fish culture stations for the first time passed the five billion mark during the fiscal year just closed. Complete figures have not been compiled but the output is estimated at 5,150,000,000, an increase of more than 300,000,000 over 1916, which held the record up to that time.

, Continued From Page One. . consideration of expediency and justice urges one drawing in Washington. Method for the Drawing. "In each group every registration card has a red-inked number written on its face and these numbers jrun In a single series from unity (1) to the number corresponding to the greatest number of cards in the ' group. Normally this is from unity (1) to about 3,000 " "Exact copies of the cards in each group have been attested and sent to the various state capitals. Lists showing the name of each man in each group, and the serial number of his card have been posted in the office of the board, published in the press, and one copy is on file in Washington. There Is, therefore, no chance of any man's number being changed without detection or of any card being lost beyond replacement Idea of the Central Drawing. "Suppose there were just 3,000 names and numbers in every group. It is at once apparent that It would be a very simple thing to have a central drawing that would control the order of every name and number in every group of the whole 10,000,000 just put 3,000 numbers into a bowl and draw them out one at a time. The first number drawn out would place the 4,557 cards bearing that particular

number at the head of every list in the

united States. The second number drawn would put the cards bearing that number second on all the list and so forth. "Now the thing can not be done in precisely this way, because there are not precisely 3,000 numbers in every group. But the same idea with, a few necessary modifications is the idea on which the present drawing is based. Drawing by Thousands "To draw 10,000 separate numbers would take ten hours and would multiply the chance of error. Moreover, if the '9-thousands,' the '8-thousands,' the '7-thousands and the '6-thousands' were scattered all over the master list indiscriminately the' cancellation

by boards having small groups would be very tedious and would open the way to numerous errors. All this is easily avoided. "Suppose we draw only 1,000 numbers. We could then provide that the drawing of the number 878 would also draw the numbers 1878, 2878; 3878, 4878, 5878, 6878, 7878, 8878 and 9878. - "In that way only 1,000 numbers need be drawn, and by making our master list consist of one sheet for each 1,000 we could provide a master list easily applicable to lists with only 3,000 numbers, since such boards could disregard all except the first three sheets. "We should do this but for the fact that this makes it certain that men in the first thousand would be called first, men in the second thousand next, and men with high serial numbers last of all. . .. . "Since the assignment of numbers is also done by chance, this does not interfere very greatly with the even chance of all men, but It does Interfere to somo extent For this reason it was decided to have one drawing to determine the order within any group of 1.C00 and another drawing

to determino the order in which the sheets of 1,000 each should appear on the master list instead of arbitrarily assigning the sheets of 1,000 in their natural order. This reduces the whole to an absolute equality of chance. Details of the Drawing. "One group of numbers, from 1 to 1,000 and a second group, from naught to nine, have been carefully Imprinted on opaque slips of paper, black on one side, counted and . checked. These 6lips have been rolled up and each put inside a gelatin capsule with the black side out To insure absolute accuracy of count the capsules containing numbers from 1 to 1,000 have been counted into ten glass jars in groups of 100 each; the glass jars have been sealed and kept in a safe awaiting the day of drawing. "The contents of the jars will be decanted Into a large glass recptacle from which the capsules can be readily "A blindfolded man will stir the capsules in the receptacle thoroughly

before any are. drawn, and will keep stirlng them during the drawing. Blindfolded Man to Draw. "A blindfolded man will then draw-, capsules out one at a time. As each capsule is drawn it will be handed to an announcer, who will break the capsule and announce the number drawn." While he is announcing the number a second capsule will be drawn and handed to a second announcer, who will break the capsule and read the number. The drawing will proceed in this way until all the capsules are drawn. "Three tally sheets will be kept One keeper of a tally sheet will repeat each number as It is announced, and all three will write it down. In case cf disagreement between tally sheets on any number, the sheets that agree will control. "Immediately before the drawing of the numbers from 1 to 1.000. the draw, lng of the numbers from 0 to 9 will take place to determine the order in which the thousands shall appear on the master lists."
