SEA MOSS FOUND IN BAY.
Unusual Demand for Product Used
for Decorations and Millinery

On recent cruise over the waters
of Chesapeake bay the United States
fisheries bureau steamer Fish Hawk
ascertained that sea moss, for which
there is much demand was to be found
in Chesapeake bay. The Chesa peake
sea moss is of superior quality and
large quantities of it were found "Sea
moss is used for decorative and mil
lnery purposes" says the Fisheries
Service Bulletin.
Heretofore all the material has been
imported. mainly from Europe the
importations for single year amount
ing to over 100000 pounds, valued at
about $4,000. There is an unusual
demand for this product owing to the
practical stoDpage of importations, and
further Investigations Will be conduct
ed to chart the areas on which it
abounds and aid in the establishment
of a fishery
The Fish Hawk has also developed
the fact that saited dogfish make an
excellent crab bait. The Fish Hawk
on her last cruise supplied a number
of crab fishermen with the picked
dogfsh and one fisherman who tried
the bait wrote the bureau:
Il have given the shark bait a fair
trial and find it as good as any bait
have ever used"

PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE
IS SEVERELY ARRA|GNED
Mr.. Fitzgerald Also Rebukes New
York in Connection With Emer-
gency Appropriation.

The kind of chastisement meted out
to bad little boys who go swimming
when their mammas tell them to cut
the front grass was prescribed yesterday
by Representative Mann of Illinois for
the public health service
THE public health service ought to be
severely spanked" said the republican
floor leader. 1T never makes use of the
ordinary facilities granted it by Con-
gress to meet an emergency, and when
ever an emergency appropriation is
| made they use it for ordinary pro-
| cedure. If the public health service
would be on the square with Congress
they would get more.
The trouble is, no one credits the
service with good faith. If they would
be on the square in regard to these
emergency appropriations they would
certainly get more money from US"
Representative Mann spoke relative
to the bill to appropriate S135, 900 for
the public health service to be used in
connection with infantiIe paralysis
campaigns, etc

Col Harts, ana ne promised 10 take
the matter up in as short a time as

he believes the proposed theater should
have at least six plays given during
the spring. summer and fall. During

sibly be two plays given during each
month.
