FISHING GOOD IN
ST. PETERSBURG

st. Petersburg.-The fishing indus.
try has been some what better here
this year than for several years, ac-
cording to the statement of H. w.
Hibbs, of the Hibbs Fish company.
However, the really heavy season in
the fishing business does not come for
a month or more yet, and therefore the
real volume of business cannot be
forecasted with any degree of accu-
racy. Usually the shipment Of fish
from here bring about 100000 annu-
ally, and the shippers will consider
themselves fortunate if their business
exceeds that this year.
The collection of data by the War
rem Fish company, of Pensacola, rela-
tive to the extent of fish shipments
from the various parts of Florida has
brought out number of interesting
points relative to that business here
The company at Pensacola has writ
ten here for figures showing the ship
ments of the various kinds of fish and
the volume of the fishing business.
Mr.. Hibbs said he did not keep rec
ords which would show the volume of
business for the various kinds of fish
shipped, but off hand he stated that
the shipments of mullet exceeded the
A-k- -
fish. The mullet is the cheapest fish
shipped from here and is caught in
much larger numbers. Next to mullet
the heaviest shipment is in mixed bot
tom fish, a classification of a variety
of species shipped together. The
mixed bottom fish sell a little higher

BRITISH PREPARING FOR
REVISION OF EDUCATION
(By Associated Press. }

London, Sept. 21-Under direction
of the Earl of Creve, the new presl-
dent of the board of education, the
board is busily preparing for the re-
vision of education that is regarded
as imperative as result Cf new con-
ditions following the war. 1t is to
be a consistent continuation OF the
start made last year when HERBERT
Lewis, parliamentary secretary OF
the board. obtained from the House
iof Commons a vote of funds fir re-
search in connection with industry,
England having definitely deter
mined TO direct the minds of its
youth towards the study Of science
as applied to industry. in preparation
for the forthcoming economic war
after the war as well as the study
of LANGUAGES with a view Of the ac-
ouisition of trade.
Though on account of the large
number of science Instructors absent
on war service it will be difficult to
he actual science courses under
way. it is understood that the
scheme, when launched, will prove
to be a wide and comprehensive one.
A remarkable feature, for instance,
as illustrating the whole-hearted
conviction to be encountered in the
unmistakable conviction among man
ufacturers all over the country as to
the wisdom of constantly promoting
scientific research Years ago Brit
ish manufacturers required almost
generation of careful study and
discussion, sometimes accompanied
by bitter controversy and the disso-
luton of partnerships before adopt

Confederate Veterans To Meet
In Tampa October 17-1S-10

A tentative program has been ar
ranged by the committees in charge
for the coming reunion of the Unit
ed Confederate Veterans to be held
here Oct. 1913. The entertainment
will be elaborate and no pains or eff
forts will be spared to make the oc-
casion notable one.
According to the present program,
which is subject to change, there
will be welcome meeting Tuesday
morning, Oct II, at the Tampa Bay
Casino for the veterans, their sons
delivered and responses made Tues
day afternoon there will be an exec
utive session of. the veterans at the
Casino while the Sons will hold an
executive session at the council
chamber
Tuesday night there will be an en-
tertainment at the Pythian Castle
Hall, followed by ball in charge of
Mrs John Trice, Mrs. I1oveless and
Miss Marion Mckay.
Wednesday forenoon there will be
a general meeting at the Casino
Wednesday afternoon the old SOL
diers will be taken for steamer ride
on the bay, if the trip can be ar
ranged Wednesday night there will
be grand ball, which will probably
be held at the Centre Austuriano
Thursday there will eb a general
meeting in the morning with a pa
rade shortly before noon, followed
by barbecue at Plant Field The
G. A. R. veterans will be the guests
of the U. G. V. at the barbecue.
General A. G. Baker has been
asked and has consented to act as
general manager of the celebration.
He will assist the committees in ev-
cry way possible in carrying out the
program and the plans for the same.

than mullet. For instance, when mul.
let is selling at three and a half or
four cents pound, mixed bottom goes
at five cents.
The heavy fishing season comes the
latter part of October or the first part
OF November. That is the beginning
of the roe season and then the fish
travel in schools. An interesting
thing about their movemnts then is
the fact that they always are found
to be travelling westward.
Although fishermen have found their
game rather more plentiful this sea-
son than for several years, it cannot
be determined for several weeks
whether the shipments really will be
unusually heavy. Some ten or twelve
years ago fish were caught in larger
numbers than they now are, the fish
ermen say. Mr.. Hibbs declared that
he could not say the fish are less
plentiful but that they are wilder now
and hence cannot be landed in such
numbers. He attributed that partly
to the use of gasoline boats by fisher
men. He said that the boats chasing
the fish around had made them wild
just the same as much hunting in the
woods makes the game there wilder
and harder to bag.

inc changed methods vastly less rad
ical than this general approval of
Joining science to industry. Manu-
facturers all over the country are
showing plainly to the board CT edu-
cation their belief that the future of
the country as we'll as their business
depend on the new program of in
struction.
The board of education has lately
SET up three committees, one Of
which. under the Craftsmanship of
Herbert Lewis, will deal with the
education of young persons up to the
age eff 16 after the war, having par
ticular regard to those who have lost
their education through being per-
taken out of the schools in
to industry. Two other committees
announced will deal with science
and languages.

The tentative program begins with

probable that one of the meetings
