Mime. Jean Pommerol has furnished
Paris the literary sensation of the season
in her novel. THE Case of Lieutenant
Sigmarie." The story itself is one of alb
sorbing interest. but the sensation was
caused by the discovery that the author
IS a woman. So true is the book to real
ity in army life. so accurate in military
technicalities. so important in its revela-
tions of garrison secrets. that the writer
was supposed to be some high authority
in such matters. 1t was ascribed by va :
rious guessers to War Minister Picquart
and other well-known generals.

The word comes that the bicycle is
having revival this spring The
boom may not be noticeable to the
naked eye in this section, but the
manufacturers and dealers in the large
centers assert that there is a greater
demand for bicycles this year than has
been the case for half a dozen seasons.
In particular there are more orders for
women's wheels and this being the
case IL is very safe wager that in
creased orders for mems wheels will
follow. Stranger things have hap
pened in the history Of fads than that
the bicycle which is now so very much
cheaper than it used to be should gain
a popularity. temporarily at least. as
great as that it used to enjoy.

sard;nes and the Pure Food Law

There has been considerable discus
,i,n nc to whether the new national
pure food laws would affect the Maine
sardiue industry. 1t does not seem
likely that any injury will result. As
far as name or label go, it has been
long time since anybody believed that
the canned "sardine" SO familiar III our
markets came from Sardinia or
France. The Maine canned product
has won its place in the, market on It's
own merits and the only concern OF TIE
purchaser is that the little fish are
hacked under as clean conditions as
possible and that no injurious SUD
stance is used in the process of pre-
serving them. The enforcement of the
pure food laws is primarily the duty
many inquiries were received at WASH
ington on this matter of sardines that
the Agricultural Department has asked
the Bureau of Fisheries for help IN
forming the new resolutions as to 1sh
foods. As to sardines. the question
has been rather What is the COM
modify known to commerce as the
sardine?" than What is the particular
kind of fish scientifically classed under
that name?" SO the Department of
Commerce and Labor has advised:
Commercially the name sardine has
come to signify any small. canned
clupeoid fish; and the methods of pre-
paration are 50 various that it is i'm
possible to establish any absolute
standard of quality. 1t appears to
this department that the purposes of
the pure food law will be carried out
and the public fully protected if all
sardines bear labels showing the place
where produced and the nature of the
ingredients used in preserving or
flavoring the fish.
Wherefore the Agricultural Depart
ment holds that the term 'sardine'
may be applied to any small fish
described above. and that the name
Siloulu w accompanied VIII
the name of the country or State in
which the fish are taken and prepared.
and with statement of the in
gradients used in preserving or flavor
ing the fish
In other words. French" sardines
must come from France: Norwegian"
sardincs must come from Norway:
Maine" sardines must come from
Maine. II is incredible that this ruling
should hurt the New England industry.
On the other hand it is more than like
ly that the new ruling will help the
sardine business in Maine. for it no
longer suffers under the suspicion of
being fraud but becomes established
upon an honest commercial basis. 1t
is gratifying to know, by the way. that
the recent destructive fire at Lubec
will not work permanent injury to the
extensive sardine business of that
section. The great plant will be re-
built at once and as the season is very
early operations will not be seriously
injured.

FAT THE DROP OF THE HAT"

The Can.-Goveror Carter of Hawaii
is pleased to announce that there is
no Japanese question on the islands.
That may or not be true, but it is GER
tainly beyond dispute that the terri
tory, under Governor Garter, is making
very serious Japanese question for
the mainland. The islands are merely
sieve through which a constantly in
creasing immigration of coolies filters
to the United States. Recent events in
san Francisco indicate how undesirable
is this immigration. If it is to be con-
tinued dangerous international compli-
cations will constantly arise. Carter
says Japan would fight at the drop
of a hat" and he offers to provide the
hat.

prise in Hawaii have Jointly spent in
the past thirty years about $4,000, 600
importing labor for the plantations,
