SMOKED HERRING RULES.
Can No Longer Be Sold Under the
Name of Bloaters.

Smoked herring. locally known as "Po-
tomac robins" must not hereafter be
sold to the public under the name of
bloaters There was q conference on the
subject yesterday between the pure food
board Of the Department Of Agriculture
and thu representatives Of the Atlantic
Fish Exchange Of Gloucester. Mass. The
terms bloaters and smoked herring have
been used Interchangeable Of recent
years.
The pure food board informed the
fishermen. however. that there was a
decided difference between a bloater and
a smoked herring. The herring Is to be
considered smaller fish, heavily salted
and smoked and prepared to keep in
definitely. The bloater Is q larger her
ring. lightly salted and lightly smoked
and intended to keep only fora limited
time. Hereafter the two brands Of fish
will have to be labeled and sold with this

as Possible.

work OF converting Willow free alley,
between Sd and AZ and B and streets

De commenced Immediately following the
completion OF condemnation proceedings
It was announced today. District au-
tnor1ties expect the jury appointed to
award damages resulting from the con-
demnation OF the property to file its re-
port within a week or ten days. and If
there are no appeals or other legal causes
OF delay. there is every prospect. it is
stated that the sixty or seventy dwellings
in the alley will have been removed
early In the summer.
Congress appropriated $4,000 for the
taking over OF Willow Tree alley by the
District Ofcials Of the local govern
ment believe that the cost Of condemna-
ton will be considerably less than this
amount and that the residue will be
SUFFICIENT with which to remove the dwell
ings from the alley. improve and sod the
area and put it in condition for a play
ground park.
To Ask $50, 900 for Building.
In their next annual estimates the
Commissioners probably will ask Con-
gress for an appropriation OF not less
than $4,000 with which to construct a
playground building on the site. This
structure. 1t Is stated. will be one Of the
best equipped OF its kind in the country
It will be provided with library, SWIM
ming pool, gymnasium and other fea-
lures.
In line with Recommendation by the
board for the condemnation Of insanitary
buildings that number Of alleys be con-
verted into minor streets and interior
parks, Willow Tree alley was selected by
the Commissioners as the first to prop
erly come within the scope Of this class
Of legislation. The board this year rec
commended that Goat alley between 9Th
and 7th, l. and M streets northwest:
Hughes court between 25th, 26th, 1 and

MARRIAGEABLE GIRLS
 WIN UNIQUE STRIKE

ST. PETERSBURG, June 2. - An unusual form of strike is reported from the Polish village of Sochac- zow, the population of which is al most exclusively Jewish. Finding that the congregation was too friv- olously inclined, the new rabbi plac- ed a ban on dancing, whereupon a deputation of young women waited on him and demanded that the edict be withdrawn. The rabbi, how ever, remained unyielding Then all the marriageable girls of the town held mass meeting and resolved unanimously not to wed until danc- ing should again be permitted
 The rabbi held out for two months during which time there was not a single marriage and consequently no wedding fees. He finally cap itulated, and now the young folks are holding dances nightly to make up for lost time.
