CALIFORNIA COUNT MAY
YET TIE UP ELECTION

Sacramento. Calf. Nov. q.
Secretary of State Jordan predicted
today that unless errors in returns
from Yuba and Orange counties are
corrected he will refuse to issue GER
tificates OF election to the California
presidential electors. This would
create delay or serious situation,
possibly affecting even the reelec-
ton Of President Wilson, since his
election depends on the l3 electoral
votes OF California.

THE FISH DEFICIT


 With the worst weather conditions in years prevailing afloat and ashore, the present month has been a hard one for the fisheries! It has been hard on the fishermen, hard on their gear, hard on the wholesale fish mer- chant. On the other hand, the gen. eraI public, whatever it may have thought on the subject as it surveys rising prices, had the least hardship of anyone where fish was concerned
 as for those who wished to dodge the rising price of fresh caught fish, there was a supply of fresh chilled or cold storage fish available at normal prices
 Up to the 23d of this month, B. 759,39 pounds of fresh haddock, cod, pollock, hake, and cusk had been landed at the Boston Fish Pier, the principal fresh fish distributing point of the country These figures repre- sent about one-haIf of the normal re-

ceipts for a normal March. Last year for example, 5,32S, ,66S pounds of fresh fish had been landed on March 2Srd.
 In the whole month last year s. ITS, 822 pounds were landed at Boston. With threezfourths of the month gone and less than half this amount re- ceived, his March will hardly be like ly to equal its ancestor of 1915.
 Like anything else, the price of fish lis dependent upon the number of fish available. This again is dependent on the catch, wEich in turn is dependent on the weather. on which the blame for everything seems to fall During the past year. the demand for fresh Nsea food, has increased several hun dred per cent.
 . With only half the normal supply available, and an abnormal demand, it would seem that prices would at least double. A survey of the figures on fish prices for the past month, how ever, high as they may have seemed, will quickly show that this is not true. Considering the fact that the whole sale dealers have not once during the month found themselves in a position to fill the ver-tncreasing demand for fresh fish, the rise in prices will be found very slight.
 The proverbiaI question at once arises: Who gets the benefit of the rise in prices?''
 t The fishermen. It is upon what the fishermen, the producers of the fishing industry, get for their catch, that the retail price of sea foods is based. The harder the fisherman works for his fish, \the colder the weather he is forced to endure, the rougher the sea he faces, the more the fisherman gets for his fish. He has been getting high prices for his wares for weeks. From now on, provided the weather is kind, the value of these should drop to normal. The fisher man, then, is no loser because fish are scarce-provided he catches any at alI
 There was time, not long ago eith- CT, when the public suffered when fish was scarce. The higher the price of fish, the more the public had to pay The introduction of the cold storage plant to the fishing industry has chang ed them, however. To be sure, fish merchants still find plenty of custom CTS for all the fresh fish they can supply, but, when prices start to rise to extraordinary heights, the mass of the public looks to the cold storage and not in vain.
 The fish put into cold storage are those purchased by the wholesalers during those seasons when fresh food fish are plentiful and cheap. When a period of scarcity comes, these fish, ready to be put on the market And by charging merely a normal price, the dealer makes his profit while the

It had been feared by specialists inS the colder re- gions of Asiatic Russia, the wool fibre might coarsen, as a natural protection to the animal. Other experts pointed out that instead of the hair scoarsen- ing, soft undeFcoat might be pro duced, which would prove commer- cially profitable. Events have proved the latter expectation to be correct. The herd of 2,0OO sheep, which was transported ten years ago, ,has now in creased to 20,00O and the wool cut has been more than satisfactory.

A FACTORY FOR
 ARTIFICIAL LIMBS

Russia has taken an advanced place among the nations in caring for her wounded soldiers and in providing for them means of livelihood after they are incapaeitated. In the making of 1.-the artificial lambs great steps in ad- yancement have been made and at a meeting held blythe special commit tee at the Mali NikoIaevsk Palace it was decided that immense factory should be constructed upon modern lines, under government supervision, devoted exclusively Nto the manufac- ture of artificial arms and hands, legs and feet, and that these should be giv- en without charge.
 The head of this organization is Grand Duchess EIizaveta Feod orovna, and in addition to the financial support received from the government, the fac tory now in. course of construction also received financial support from the Moscow County Council, the sUn- ion of Zernstvos. the Union of all Rus sian towns, the Red Cross and the Moscow Credit Society This new factory is to be devoted exclusively to the manufacture of metal parts and is an addition to the huge works already under the direction of the Grand Du- chess.
 During the year 1915. in the Govern ment of Moscow alone, a total of D. 534 artificial limbs were distributed from the old works. In addition to this over 1000 artificial jaws were given out.
 Serious difficulty was encountered, however. by reason of the fact that the metal work in connection with the making of the artificial limbs had to be given out to private factories. This not only caused delay, but also entail ed extra expense.
 The Committee has taken advantage of every new device, and in addition many have beens invented, which are not known outside Of Russia. So sat- isfactory have been some of these new substitutes for hands and feet, that many of the war crippIes have become effective and useful artisans and have been set at work in the factory They are even able to compete successful ly with their fellow workers Some Of the officers, who have been provid- ed with these mechanical limbs. have secured sufficient dexterity to enable them to return to the front It is estl1nated that as soon as the new

Vienna.-Alarmed at the increase in

dition of SO many thousands Of chill
dren, the Austrian Red Cross is or
ganizing a special fund for the care
