Industry in Disaster.
Ehe American sardne industry at
present, the Gamers themselves admit,
is in a deplorable condition. What
was once fiourishing and money
making sea food industry has through
destructive competition been brought
to T. stage where many canneries are
np, longer packing. and where those
which do pack are compelled to sell
Their product at less than cost. Com
petins packers have cut the prices of
their products to a point where it is
practically impossible to put up first
class sardines in a proper manner The
Whole aim is to pack quantity and give
no thought to the quality of the
product. There are of course few
packers who maintain quality. but
many.sit is found. pack "feedy'' fish
a condition resulting from the decom-
position of certain food that the fish
eat4stnr are packing soft fish or dis
cards from other factories. These
are unit for food, and absolutely ruin
the reputation of the American sar
dine. For some years back, everyone
in the Maine industry has been fight
ing every one else. The wealthy
packers are selling their sardines at a
loss, and meeting this loss from for
niar profits, Those who have no
capital behind them either have had
to. quit or else pack inferior fish in the
cheapest possible way. So that they
could continue to sell at prevailing
prices,

destructive but heretofore they have
been unable to get together to save
the industry. These men have well
coined the coming of the representa-
tiyes of the Department and already
are showing signs of getting together,
stopping cut throat competition, and
restoring the industry to a place
where they can afford TO make real
ly superior brand of sardines which
will compete in quality and flavor with
the French, Norwegian, and English
sardines. Some of the packers have
volunteered to allow the government
specialists to use their factories fuI
complete experiments. and have ex-
pressed their desire to cooperate in all
possible ways with the Department
of Agriculture to restore the American
product to favor.
One important Mistake.
The new laboratory has already dis
covered one important point in the
packing process which causes loss.
The Maine packers pack Us large fish
as they are able to get into a box
fish from inches To s inches are
packed in se-called z mustard sizes.
The smaller fish are packed in the
small Il size cans and many of these
are too large for good sardine size.
TO make the fish fit the cans. the head.
small part of the tail. and from II
to Ia of the best part of the fish is
cut off with a pair of scissors. BY
actual determination, II per cent. of
the fish goes to waste, and of this 53
per cent. is good edible meat
Packing Experiments.
The newly established laboratory
will at once begin thorough investi-
cation into the best possible method
of packing American sardines in
oil and mustard, and will give
particular attention to determin-
ing the sizes of fish best adapted
for canning in the small oil sizes
and in the mustard y size. 1t
will begin at oEce an investigation
of ways and means fer overcoming the
destructive red feed" condition,
which is troublesome factor at eer-
tain seasons of the year in the pack
ing of American sardines. Ii is be-
lievea that If the fish that have been
feeding on the red feed are allowed
to stay in weirs until they have di-
sested this red feed" they can then
be packed perfectly. and will not de-
teriorate If properly processed. If
they are worked while the red feed"
still remains in their stomachs, how
ever they decompose rapidly before
being put into the cans, and make q
very inferior product when they are
canned.

Next morning, WIN VIDE eyes,
Bertha saw the dawn creep through
the window, and that day she tele-
phoned to the hospital where George
had VOL ked. He was gone; she could
obtain no information of him.
The same afternoon she was rest
ing on one of the green sofas in the
shop, which happened for the mo-
ment to be empty Beside her reclin-
ed the forewoman who, while re-
counting wittily an intimate adVen-
ture of friend of hers, managed to
exhibit, as if casually, new ring
set with large emerald. Listening
absent mindedly to the forewoman's
story, replete with details of sort
which nowadays did not disturb her
in the slightest, Bertha looked up and
saw entering the room a young wo-
man and a young man, both stran-
gers. The young woman was blond,
handsome and well dressed. Her
companion, following with that self
conscious pose of tolerance which
men are apt to assume when lured
into such places, was the embodi-
ment of Bertha's dreams!
He was tall and heavy about the
shoulders; his smooth-shayen face
was finely modelled; his yellow hair,
clipped short, rippfed above his white
forehead. He and the woman with
him looked alike; evidently she was
his sister.
She wanted a new ball dress in
great hurry; she had been every
where else, but had not found any
thing to suit her. Perhaps the fore
woman had something already made,
from Paris, that would fit her with a
few alterations? The forewoman,
with suave and competent manner,
produced from a wardrobe a low
neck gown of silver tissue, covered
with minute embroidery, all in one
piece. The customer, assuming the
illegible expression of a bargainer,
