Fish are often landed alive and al

fish that are killed Immediately after

Fish, because Of their abundance.
cheapness and wholesomeness are in
valuable as an article Of food. It Is
less nutritious and less stimulating
than meat. a. II contains less solids

However. the higher circles of orficialdom
are by no means dependent upon the PUBIC
service for their telephone facilities. They
have very ingenious system OF their own IL
is secret network Of wires, and. very natural
~ It Is centered in the White House. Pri-
marily. this confidential telephone web consists
Of a special private telephone. wire leading
from the White House to each Of the nine de-
partments of the government The main pur-
pose of this is to enable the chief magistrate
to at any moment consult with any of his nine
cabinet officers without any danger OF caves
dropping. but of course. should the president
desire to communicate confidentially by phone
with any subordinate In any Of the depart
ments. It Is q simple matter to summon such
individual to the secret phone rather than to
have him communicate with the White House
via the regular telephone channels.
Equally important as arteries Of quick COM
munication. are the two special telephone
wires leading from the White House to the
United States capitol. One Of these lines leads
into the great exchange at the big white-domed
building and through this central" the presi-
dent can get connection with the private Office
Of any senator or representative. or with the
cloak rooms or other rendezvous Of the law
makers. The other line from the White House
to the capitol Is a strictly secret line. Not
only does II not lead into the exchange at the
capitol. but the terminal Is not accessible to
any person save with the presidents sanction.
1t Is safe to say that there are men who have
been In congress for years. who do not know
of the existence Of this secret line to he
White House. much less know the location Of
its terminal. However. the line serves a most
important purpose. for It enables the president
to at any time. confer with the vicepresident
or with any senator or Representatives, in
stance. the administration spokesman or floor
leader-in absolute security as to the confiden-
tial character Of the verbal exchanges. Not
even a hello girl" can overhear what is said.
