RAH FOR THE DOGFISH!

The way is rapidly being paved for
killing the movement for the extermi-
nation of the dogfish along the ALLAH
tic coast by the simple method Of max
ing the heretofore hated and dreaded
fish the most popular edible denizen of
the Atlantic-that is, indications point
that way. according to a special dis
patch published in a Portland paper:
The United States Bureau Of Fisher
les states that dogfish have been put
on the New York market and brought
good prices as a food fish. In large
lots the price was five cents per pound
and in small barrel lots to $50 pounds
these fish have sold for 1915 a barrel.
The bureau also states that vessels
engaged in the tile fisheries in New
York landed in March $1,000 pounds
Of that fish and it found ready mar
ket. The tile fish was put on the mar
ket within the past year through the
efforts Of the Bureau Of Fisheries and
at Government expense. and is now
one Of the most valuable food fish and
regarded as a delicacy."

TRIBUNAL FOR SCHOOL
DISPUTES IN ATHLETICS

While 1t is the usual thing to attempt
the regulation of interscholastic ath-
letics through rules and regulations
Maine will perhaps be the pioneer in
having a court for the adjustment of
alleged infringements of these regula-
tons.
For several years there has been a
growing sentiment among principals of
secondary schools In favor of the more
rigid conduct Of school sports, which
have now become an inseparable part
of the activities of secondary schools,
including both academies and public
high schools.
This regulation aims to secure in
creased faculty supervision and respon-
sibility and to insure the conduct of
all interscholastic athletics in strict ac-
cordance with the rules agreed to by
the schools participating. There has
been comparatively little difficulty in
obtaining reasonable agreement on the
rules of eligibility, but the enforcement
Of the rules it is claimed. has not al
ways been so simple matter.
The action of the secondary school
principals in Maine requesting the ap-
pointment Of a State Athletic Council
is the move which it is believed will
supply this need Of judicial body.
Hereafter when any claim of violation
Of rules arises, or any unfairness or
sport Is alleged there will be consti-
tuted authority to deal with the situa-
tion.
At the request Of the school princi-
lpals the State superintendent Of
!schools will appoint the Maine State
Athletic Council which will consist Of
iseven members. Three Of these will
jbe high school principals. two will be
principals Of academies, while two will
be laymen not directly associated with
any schools. This council is to be APP
pointed at once. Two meetings Of the
council will be held each year. one in
July at Castine and one In October
mt the time and place Of the annual
convention Of the Maine State Teach
ers' Association.
This new move for the direction Of
Iinterscholastic sports will be watched
with great interest not only by those
directly concerned with Maine schools.
but by those Of other states who are
seeking the better conduct of all school
athletic contests.

The gasoline problem promises to
be serious one for the large fleet Of
Quoddy fishermen who carry most of
the sardine supplies from the many
Canadian weirs down the bay to East
port, Lubec, North Lubec. Robbinston
and other neighboring coast towns
where sardine factories are run from
April to December and the present
high price Of the important fuel is
causing considerable alarm in this
section. With prices per gallon double
what they were two seasons ago. it
will seriously affect numbers Of the
Eastern Maine boatrcen this season in
the event Of sails again being used on
most Of the fishing Loats. in place Of
running their gasoline engines, 1t will
call for the return Of small steamers
and tug boats to bring in the fishing
crafts from about the bay. as was the
custom some years ago before gaso-
line and kerosene engines were intro
duced.
