are dwindling to negligible amounts
and while little provisions is being
made for future supplies of dried and
salt fish it is to be presumed, the
writer says, that the warning nations

in England and on the continent who
would very rarely know the taste of
flesh.
"Grimsby is the fishing capital of
the world, with an annual output of,
perhaps, 100000 tons of fish. More
than 600 steam trawlers operate from
this port in time of peace, and a spec
ial harbor has been built for the fish
trade, including an outer basin of IL
acres and an inner basin OF IS acres,
and tw dry docks. And Billingsgate
is the worlds greatest middleman's
fish market, handling the more than
one million and a half pounds of fish
that is consumed every day by the city
Of London in normal times
America need fear no North Sea

thanks to the great American original

to go on drawing a larger part of
our fish diet from our inland streams

ANKLE HINTS FOR GIRLS
COME WITH SHORT SKIRT;
FOOT MUST Be PRETTY

LONDON, April 1.-The short
skirt being all the rage, our girls are
very eager to pass muster as to pretty
footwear and stockings Mothers and
dowagers now talk great deal about
Ankle Hints some of which are
given below. But there are other hints
that deserve attention from the fair
sex.
The average woman doesn't seem 70
pay enough attention to how she looks
from the back, and men who observe
these things and have an eye for beau
ty, report that the short skirt has not
enhanced the outlook. At the same
time they admit that it would be i'm
pertinent to offer hints" A girls mir
ror should do that, or better still, a
chevalglass. Meanwhile here follows
the ankle hints:
Ankle exercises are of very little
use alone; they must be combined
with knee exercise. The object of the
ankle is to turn out the foot and this
can only be done from the knee.

Should Use Knee as
Often as Possible.

Unless the foot turns out you can
aot have a good instep. 1t is natur-
al however for women to turn the
leet in, as it is natural for them to be
kp2c1-kneed.
There is cure for it in certain ex-
ercises, in which the knee plays
large part. 1t should be used as often
as possible during the day, although
the ankles will at first feel sore from
muscles being brought into play which.
are rarely used.
1t consists in standing with the feet
turned well out and then bending the.
knees down and out, rising up again
and getting right up on the toes. This
should be repeated slowly and gently.
A chair can be used to hold on to if
necessary, and it is well to hum
Home, Sweet Home" as you are doing
It, The tune helps the slow move

How 20 Reduce
i Thick Ankle

In order to reduce a thick ankle, re-
iaAnG 1t is the best exercise-that Is.
shaking the foot out again and again.
This process wears away the flesh.
In a fortnight a girl who perseveres
in exercise and in dancing should see
an appreciable improvement in thu.
shape of her ankle-certainly during
the course OF a month.
She will in the process improve the
shape Of her foot, for the toes cannot
be allowed to curl under if the instsp
is to be raised. The girls of today
have very different feet and ankles to
SHOW from those of the Victorian per.
iod, when the short full skirts were
worn. Dancing and exercise generally
Rave made an enormous Improvement.

MAY IRWIN HAS
MADE DISCOVERY
New Playwright Furnishes Her
Drama for the Coming
Season.

May Irwin has discovered a play
wright. What's more, she has pro-
duced his play and created the prin-
cipal role in it, and the New York first
night takes place tomorrow at the
Park Theatre.
This is how it happened" related
Miss Irwin. II have frivolous habit
of reading best sellers when go away
for the summer and want nothing
heavier than a fool story. (Of course,
you get the intimation that read Kant
and Schopenhauer at other seasons.)
But last summer at my home in the
Thousand Islands | picked up story
called NO Is Washington Square
laughed and laughed over it, and the
more | laughed the better | liked 1t.
4 want play out OF that said 10 my
self
Then began telegraphing to the
author and kept right on till he prom
ised to write the play for me. Leroy
Scott is his name and he had written
some other novels The Walking Dele
gate" "To Him That Hath" Shields
Of Destiny" and those Mayor Of Ave-
nue. A" stories in the magazines.
Now there's the luck Of 1t. People
have been sending me plays by the
dozen, by people who have written
plays or want to write plays; but this
author who had 10 be prodded into
playwrighting was the only one who
had the play for ne. lie may write
others. now. | think the drama owes
me something for this!" and May Irwin
grinned.
