OCEANIC NOT To
BUILD OR BUY
new SHIPS

In case the Oceanic company gets a
mail subsidy and decides to take the
Sierra off the Honolulu run for the
San Francisco-Australia run, the COM
pany will plan no additional service to
Hawaii, according to John ID. Spreck-
els, who arrived in Honolulu In the
yacht venetia yesterday.
Mr.. Spreckels says the Oceanic
company is seriously considering
placing the Sierra on the Australian
run. The company has asked a sub
sidy from the government, and should
it be granted the Sierra then viii be
in a position to take up the run. In
case the subsidy is not granted. says
Mr.. Spreckels, the steamer will be
kept in reserve should one Of the 9TH
er vessels have to be laid off.
With the Sierra In the Australian
service the company would resume its
calls at Page Page, Samoa. north
bound. When the company last Oeto-
Der failed to receive $4,000 from the
government. in addition to subsidy
of 81 an outward mile for mail service
to Australia alone, the calls at Samoa
were dropped. The Ventura and So
noma now receive q subsidy OF 50 an
outward mile for the mail service. A
similar subsidy is wanted for the 81
ezra.
Mr.. Spreekels declares the Oceanic
company will not increase its service
TO Hawaii because Of the withdrawal
OF the Pacific Mail. There is too lit
tie profit in the business, he says.
He believes that the reported move
ment to reduce the fine to be paid by
foreign ships for carrying passengers
between Hawaii and San francisco is
wrong. Enough has been done TO low
er the American flag on the high seas
and American shipping needs the pro
lection of the eoastwise laws, he
says.
The Oceanic company, as well as
other steamship concerns. will be sat
|isfied for the present If the next Con-
gress will relieve them Of the worst
provisions Of the Seamen's Act, says
Mr.. Spreckels. He declares 1t is folly
to talk subsidy to the Democrats, and
that they throw up their hands when
they hear it mentioned.
THE Seamen,s Act Is onerous," he
says. "The men are not to be had to
run the ships under that law. II 1t
were put into effect, do not know
where American sailors would come
from to handle American ships. It
would mean suspension under rigid
enforcement"
As to sugar. it is Mr.. Spreckels' be-
lief that Congress may maintain the

WANTED THE REGULAR TOOLS
At Least coIored Man Was Sure Of
One Thing, He Wouldn't Work
With the Pie.

An old negro man was standing by
a grassy yard in front of a Chinaman's
washhouse when a woman walked to
the street corner near by to board
car. The old man approached her and,
lifting his hat, politely said: Lady,
can you tell me where / can obtain a
job"
He held in his hand loosely wrap
ped package, from which protruded
the edge of what was apparently five-
cent pie.
The lady replied that he might ask
the Chinaman for the job of cutting
the grass. So the colored man bar
gained with the Chinaman to cut the
grass, for which he was to receive rs
cents.
Then 1t turns out that the Chinaman
has no tools, and the colored mans
lawn mower is a long way OF at his
home and he is disinclined to 60 after
it, for the way is weary. the flesh tired.
The lady finally suggested in a mat
ter Of fact way: Are you going to cut
the grass with the pie?" The colored
man drew himself up with great dig
nifty and replied, reprovingly:
Lady, never cut grass with a pie"

Indeed, for many decades of its
history our navy got along without
naval academy. Midshipmen went to
sea from the first and learned how to
use big gun on the deck of a man-o'-
war. Navigation was learned from
the officers of the ship as they did the
actual work. A senior officer might
gather together the young men under
his care for lecture now and then
or he might not.
1t was not until 1S45, in the days OF
James X. Polk, when George Bancroft
was secretary of the navy. that the
agitation for a naval school gained
Roadway. Fomented principally by the
younger officers, who saw as the navy
increased that the requirements we're
multiplied, the tide began to rise un-
til it brought the first buildings to the
grounds of Fort Severn.
Early Days In the Academy.
The course under Commander
Franklin Buchanan was fixed at five
years of which only the first and last
were to be spent at the school. In
January, 1916, four months after the
opening, the students consisted OF 80
midshipmen of the date of 1S4O, IL
of the date of 1S41, and seven acting
middies appointed to the previous
year. The first group was graduated
after their limited course of one year
in 1886.
In 1850 came the first reorganization,
providing for a course of seven years,
the first two and the last two to be
devoted to study and the three inter-
mediate years to be spent at sea. Next
year a board of examiners dropped the
three years of sea service in the mid
die of the course and the present four
consecutive years Of study was In
augurated. The practice cruises OF
the summer supplied the place OF the
omitted sea service.
The work of the academy was sad
" interrupted in the Civil war. wnen
part of the students went to the front
and the rest were moved for safety to
Newport, r. /. But it has since then
followed the development of our navy
study until it gives today more thor
ough technical training than any SIM
liar institution in the world.

Ptomaine Danger Unfounded,
Says Agricultural Department.
Composition Not Altered by the Proc
ess Of Preservation, Say the Ex-
perts-Urge More Consump-
ton to Help the Business.

Washington. Recent investiga-
tions carried on by the department Of
agriculture appear to indicate that the
prejudice against the eating of fish,
especially frozen fish, because of the
alleged danger of ptomaine poisoning.
is quite unfounded." says a statement
issued by Secretary Houston. "A par
tial decomposition of either fish or
meat may result in the formation of
certain substances that cause diges,
tive trouble. These substances are
popularity known as ptomaine, al
though many of them have not yet
been fully studied and their nature de-
termined. The whole question is o
very complex one, but there is, how
ever, no reason for assuming that
there is any more likelihood of pto-
maines in fish than in meat. New
processes of preserving fish by freez.
ing, glazing and cold storage make it
as safe an article as meat.
This popular prejudice has done
much to hinder the development OF
what might be a far greater industry
and has prevented the people from
obtaining a wholesome, economical
and attractive substitute for meat at
the very time when the price Of meat
has been rising rapidly.
Many persons eat fish only on fast
days. and especially on Fridays. The
idea that Friday is fish day has com
PEELED the fish trade to do what
amounts largely to a one-day-in-the

tended to make prices higher than
necessary. With the increased de
mand the supply Of fish would be
much larger. and II the consumption
were distributed evenly throughout
the week the waste would be much
less and the prices should conse
quently be lower.
Both scientific research and prac
teal experience have shown that Z

proper conditions remains perfectly

and one-half years. This, Of course

confinement He said in transmitting
an order on the subject:
II have no sympathy with hazing.
A hazer is essentially a bully and
must necessarily have in his nature a
streak of the same innate cruelty pos
sessed by brutes who torture dumb
animals for the pleasure of watching
their suffering"
Betting Is Forbidden.
Betting is another forbidden de-
light to midshipmen. In the fall OF
1912 half the students or about 400
men were involved in pool of $4,000
which was raised to be wagered
against an equal amount collected at
West Point on the result of an Army
Navy football game. The authorities
have stamped out the drinking Of in
toxicating liquors with an iron hand.
Another practice more than frowned
upon is the running of extravagant
bills. especially for flowers and for
entertainment of guests.
This is not the first time that acad-
envy examinations have caused rue
tons. The entrance requirements
ments have been a fruitful source OF
trouble. The charge has been made
on the floor of the house of repre-
sentatives that the tests have been
made in such a way that candidates
were forced to go to the preparatory
schools which specialize in getting
boys into the academy.
On several occasions, too. 1t has
been reported that candidates have
had substitutes take the examination
for them. Brilliant and INSCRIPTIONS

FROZEN FISH SAFE

of safety which should DO sufficient
for all purposes.
1T is essential, however, that the
fish be frozen in their freshest state
and jacketed with a coating of thin
ice which excludes the air. In prac-
tice, the fish are now dressed by re-
moval of the entrails as soon as they
are caught, thoroughly washed. and
laid in shallow pans.
These pans are placed on the ice
covered pipes of the freezer, which
usually is at temperature a little
lower than zero. After from twelve
to twenty-four hours the fish are
frozen solid. They then form a large
cake held together by the freezing of
the thin layer Of water between the
fish.
This cake is removed from the pan
and dipped into water, which is al
once frozen on the fish, forming q
crystal glaze of ice like transparent
varnish. This glaze Theoretically seals
them. No air can reach them from
the outside and no moisture can evap-
crate from the inside.
"The glazed fish are then kept at
temperature of from seven degrees
to fifteen degrees F. until needed for
consumption.
Frozen fish Is thus the only fish
produce the composition of which is
not altered in some way by the process
Of preservation. Canning, rmoking,
sailing or picking all alter the flavor
Of the treated article. With frozen
fish. however. the envelope of ice has
only to be melted In order to give us
back an article Of food that is prac-
tically identical with that taken from
the sea. If it were not for such a
method of preservation fish could not
be depended upon as constant source
of food.
Another objection raised by the
many housewives is the fish odor
which makes them undesirable com.
pany for milk, butter and other ar.
ticles commonly found in the family
refrigerator. Fish can be kept in a
refrigerator without affecting other
foods If 1t is first put In a tin vessel
with tightly fitting lid. AS a matter
of fact, however. fish should be eaten
as soon as possible after they have
been received from the retailer. They
should not be allowed to soak in
water, as certain amount of their
food material is thus dissolved. In.
stead, they should be thawed slowly
in an ice box and cooked as soon al
this process is completed"
