POTOMAC RIVER FISH
SCARCE THIS SEASON
Catch Poorest in History, Due to
Methods of Not Allowing Young
to Reach Spawning Grounds.

Potomac river and Chesapeake bay
fishermen now are beginning to suf-
fer from their methods of sweeping the
fish out of the river in years past, and
allowing none or very few to reach the
spawning grounds. The present shad
fishing season in the Potomac just clos
ing, has been one of the poorest in his
tory. and the fisherman has no one to
blame but himself. according to officials
of the bureau of fisheries.
The Bryans point fish hatchery, a
short distance this side of Marshall
Hall, Md. has closed one of its poor
est seasons. due to the fact that the
fishermen could not get the fish Very
few fish this year reached the Poto-
mac river spawning grounds, which
lies between Marshall Hall and this
city.
The poor spawning season Just clos
ing has been brought about by the acts
of the fishermen covering number of
wears. At one time it was the prac-
tice to stretch the nets across the riv-
erS SO that the fish had absolutely no
chance whatever of getting up the
river to the spawning grounds They
were caught up in the nets, small fish
and ALL and carried away in boats
The small fish which could not be used
but were used as bait
Small and Undersized.
Even the few fish that were taken
this year were small and understood,
weighing from one and half to two
pounds. while the adult fish should
weigh. according to the fisheries ex-
perts, from four to five pounds These
small, understood fish, or "skips," as
they are known, were particularly no
ticeable In the Potomac river fisheries.
While methods must be found to in
crease the fish supply in this territory,
the fisheries officials do not advocate
drastic methods such as closed sea
son for year or two. The bureau Of
fisheries for the past few years has
been sounding a warning to the fisher
men and to the states which directly
control the fisheries in their waters
that the supply was being exhausted,
but until very recently 1t apparently
rested on deaf ears.

MANUFACTURERS IN u. S.
IN NEED OF DYESTUFFs
Textile Workers and Makers of
Paper. Ink and Other Products
Are Handicapped.

American textile manufacturers. as well
as makers Of paper. ink. varnish, pig
ments and leather articles. are feeling
the scarcity of artificial dyestuffs more
acutely each day, according to Commercial
Agent Thomas H. Norton, in a special re-
port to Secretary Redf1eld, issued today.
Mr. Norton has been making an ex-
haustive investigation Of the entire sub
ject
Stock Rapidly Diminishing.
The stock of dyes Of German origin in
the United States, Mr.. Norton says. is
rapidly diminishing. and probably will
disappear before the end of July. Two
cargoes for which Great Britain granted
free passage permits are being held up
for export permission from the German
government Those cargoes would be suf-
ticient supply for two or three months.
German manufacturers are said to have
ample stocks Of coaltar dyes ready for
export. and the American government is
exerfing every possible effort to reach an
understanding on the subject with the bel
ligerent nations.
In the meantime domestic dye manufac-
turers are trying to increase their output

Who Owns Prescription?
By William, Brady, VI. D.

y prescription is a written order
from the physician TO the pharmacist
which directs the pharmacist what
medicines to supply and what direc-
ions he shall write upon the label
In the absence Of specific order to
the contrary the druggist has no right
TO refill prescription for the patient
whose name appears upon il; he has
no right TO NIL IL At all for another

IS often another mans pofson-then 1t
is not right to lay it up against the
physician who originally wrote the
mighty precarious habit anyway.
Doctors are notoriously bad writers;
their cabalistic signs and authorizations
are often misinterpreted and sometimes
deplorable results follow.
The reason why formal prescriptions
are written in Latin. rather than Eng
lish, is that all scientific names are in
Latin. Further, Latin is a dead lam
guage which never changes: II is uni
versal-all doctors and scientific men
the world over understand more OF less
, Latin. 1t is retained in prescriptions
for the same reason that Latin is re-
tanned i'll the phraSeoloGy of the law
and In the mass OF the Catholic Church
not for the purpose OF concealing the
names of medicines from patients, as
is sometimes alleged. for many pa
tients know more Latin than the doc
tor knows
Your prescription is yours to keep
Legally. the pharmacist who fills II
must retain copy-not the original
When he insists upon retaining the
original he generally does so with the
his store in case the prescription is
to be rcfillcd. But the courts have
declared the prescription the patients
property. So it is up to the patient
to keep it II he SO desires. OF course
the doctor usually retains a carbon
copy too. and If he deems II advisable
to have the prescription refilled he can
give you another copy IL necessary.
The words nonrepctatur written or
printed OH a prescription mean Let
il not be repeated" When a druggist
consents TO refill Il prescription which
bears those words he is beyond the
pale and unworthy of confidence.
Recently we came across queer
connection which had a wellknown
physicians name on the label. We
took him to task about it. He re-
pudiatcd the formulate had never
prescribed anything like It in his life.
Some one had copied, and some ono
else had rccopied until the prescrip-
tion had los, every original chara cter
but the Doctors name.
