FISH ARE SCARCE.
Failure Of Shad and Herring to Run
Causes APPREHENSION.

The fact that the catch of shad and
herring in the Potomac has been very
light Is giving those directly interested
in the fishing industry and packing houses
much uneasiness, as they fear a failure.
1t is explained that by this time last
year the cutting and packing of herring
at the local sailing houses had COM
menced. but SO far this year the fish
have been SO scarce and the price has re-
manned so high that sailing them is
out of the question.
Dealers hoping that it is only a
backward season. and that within the
next few days the run of herring will
start. In the middle of the season it
is not uncommon for from five to eight
hundred thousand of the fish to be
brought here in a day. and many thou
sands of them are sailed and smoked for
shipment all over the country. Potomac
herring. packed in Washington, have a
nationwide reputation and command good
prices

mode.
Few of them know. however, that when
they look over the models In the Amerf-
can shops they see but few real Paris
models. In fact. it is stated, one well
that of the styles selected by our women
fully 90 per cent are designed right in the
American shops. The reason Is that the
