Fish kitchens are the latest concern
of the Dutch government, which, to
promote the consumption of fish and
encourage the native fishing indus
tries, is maintaining public kitchens,
where fried fish is sold at very low

THESE KIDS NEVER
RODE IN MACHINE:
MAY GET RIDES

Can you imagine boy or girl or a
man or woman who has never ridden
in an automobile.
Well there are many Of them in
Richmond, according to Captain Mil
ler of the Salvation Army. The cap.
tain said today he hoped to arrange
for machines to take children and
women attending the army picnic on
July 26 from Rhoda Temple to Glen
Miller park, thus affording many OF
these persons their first and probably
last machine ride. Although about
three hundred persons have enrolled
for the outing, the funds are not COM
ing in equal proportion Captain Miller
had at noon today had obtained sub
scriptions for s6O.75. He will need
considerable more.
