ENGLISH NEWSPAPERS
INITIATE AMERICAN:
PAPER SUPPLY SHORT

London, March 17-Londoners are
getting their daily news in more con-
densed form than ever before in his
tory. 1t was never served up to them
in anything like the manner in the
United States where the headlines
come pretty close to conveying the
story, but an effort at terseness and
conciseness has been made in the
telling of the story that is quite an
innovation in journalism here. The
change was made necessary by the
regulations governing the importa-
ton of paper-a measure of economy
brought on by the war-which reduc-
ed the supply of print paper and
which resulted in the publishers of
the, great dailies deciding to cut
down the size of their edition to
about one-half of what they were be-
fore March l last when the law be-
came operative.
The public was prepared for the
change through the papers which for
weeks in advance published notices
calling upon their readers to order
their paper each day in advance of
their news dealer. The readers We're
told that owing to the scarcity of pa
per it would be Impossible in the fu-
ture fully to provide for chance de-
nand for newspapers. In other words
only enough papers to meet the
known demand would be run off the
presses.
While the news restrictions applied
to all paper the newspaper industry
was the most seriously affected. Pa
pers which formerly were twelve
pages in size were cut down to six. An
early effort was, made also to cur
tail after the style of the American
papers.
The regulations which were for
mu1ated by the Royal Commission on
Paper provided that on and after
March L no paper or paper-making
materials could be imported by any
persons other than those licensed by
the Commission. Licenses could be
granted to paper-rnazers to import
during the twelve months commence
ing with March 1 two-thirds of the
weight of imported materials which
they consumed in 1914.

HUGE WASTE AT
SALMON CANNERIES.

A huge annual waste and a promising
new source of profit to the Pacific
Coast fishing industry is pointed out
by the Department. of Agriculture. The
Departments experts show that in
1913 approximately $500, 600 cases of
salmon were packed in American can
neries.
The waste products from this indus
try, it is said, could have been made
to yield IL 900 tons of fish scrap and
about 100000 gallons of oil From
the average cannery which produces,
say, $4,000 cases of canned salmon in
a season, the output of dry fish scrap
might be at least 115 tons and of oil
about $4,000 gallons. Large quantt-
ties CT fish of other species are caught
along with the salmon and these are
frequently thrown away as worthless
Occasionally. too, more salmon are
taken than can be handled bv the
cannery and seowloads are sometimes
discarded.
The methods of handling the mater
ia1 that is now thrown away are sim
pie. and well understood. On the At
lantic Coast similar waste is first
cooked, then pressed, and finally
dried. preferably in modern rotary
dr1er, If "a reduction plant were oper-
ated as a by-product plant of the can
merry proper, it might be practicable
to use the waste heat from the fires
under the factory, boilers to operate
the drier
Fish scrap, SO prepared, is worth
about $40 a ton-for fertilizer purposes.
1t may, however. beu sed as a, hog
and poultry feed and as such viii
bring higher price.

INTERNATIONAL
EGG LAYING CONTEST

Along with Increased egg pro6uc-
ton the hens in the laying contest at
Storrs are developing an occasional
case of everted or pro1apsed oviduct.
The diagnosis of this condition is very
simple in that it consists merely of
observing a mass Of red or bloody it's
sue projecting from the vent. The
chief causes of the trouble are con-
tinued efforts to expeI a very large
egg, straining- to lay the bird is egg
bound, and sometimes simple consti-
patton. Not infrequently the other
hens turn canniba1s when one of their
number. develops pro1apsus of the owl
duct and usually soon succeed in
destroying the affected bird. If, how
ever, the condition is discovered early
enough and the case not too severe,
cures can occasionally be accomplish
ed. The protruding mass should be
washed with some weak, warm disin-
fectant, such as one per cent creolin,
then grease the affected parts with
vase1ine and push them gently back
into place. Lastly, put a lump of ice
inside the vent to bring about
healthy contraction otherwise the owl
duct may be everted again and again.
In general the best procedure per-
haps is to imrnediate1y kill and dress
the hen for table purposes.
In the nineteenth week of the con-
test the hens laid a total of 3,707 eggs
which is % dozen more than for last
week and six dozen more than for the
corresponding week year ago. Obed
