EARS COOKED FOR
SWEET SHAD SONG
Westinghouse Anxious for the
First Never-FaiIing Signs
of Spring.

It won't be long before the streets
OF Washington are echoing with a
sound sweet to housewives and busy
men in Offices who open their windows
to hear the sing-song cry OF Fresh
shad, fresh shad, "as II floats up from
the pavement below.
The sound will be doubly sweet, be-
cause it is q never failing indication
that spring is here, and because 1t
means a Iong-continued feast, made
up of a staple upon which the Capital
City prides itself-Potomac shad.
The time is early, but fish dealers
along the busy wharves Of the old
Potomac, just Ioosening up and begin
ming to flow freely after its annual
freeze, predict a plentiful run Of shad
this year, and rumors from down
river" have il that the unsuspecting
fish already are poking their heads
into the mouth of the Potomac, just
looking around, as II were, for a nice
inviting river to explore.
Price Not to Go Up.
And what is perhaps more joyful
still, shad are not going up in price.
The war can't affect the run OF shad
like It can the sharks, and this spring
the fat and luscious fish are going to
sell for what they did last year-25
to 80 cents for "buclss" and from 60
to 81 for roe shad.
It will be several weeks before the
fish begin to school up the river.
They usually wait until the latter
part OF March to begin, and the run
Is on in earnest about the first part
Of May. But trappers and runners"
are already fixing up their nets.
Strengthening out the kinks and
mending the broken places. They
VIII begin laying their traps soon,
and then the boats will land at short
intervals at the wharves, and the fish
thousands OF them-will be sold to
the hshmongers who have their
wagons drawn up in a long line
against the curb.
First Catches OF Season.
The first catches of the season so
far have been made by W. NJ. Jarvis
and B. L Dallas, two fishermen of
been received here that these two
men caught several roe shad and
some herring. Several shad and
herring also have been caught by the
Mason brothers, near the mouth of
the Rappahannock river, near Irv-
ington, Va
The craft which arrive here in the
middle of the shad season bear car
goes which contain as many as 1000
fish, and some of the others from
Norfolk and points on the bay are
more heavily laden.
J. H. Chivell, a local fish merchant,
stated today that prospects for a big
run OF shad this year are excellent,
and that Washingtonians,w will be able
to buy plenty Of them at low prices
within three or four weeks.

countrysides where wars alarms have
not penetrated.
1T Is first fear OF starvation, and
out OF this fear rises a sort of psychic
logical hunger. This confusion. Of
ideas is sometimes exciting, some
times Gripping, and robs one OF cour-

Fear of starving will cause many to
make luxurious use of available sup
plies, to use all sorts OF tricks in
order to attempt to cover themselves
with a reserve layer OF fat for times
of still greater scarcity"
"In thousands OF letters, mostly
written by women, the writers speak
of nothing else but the fear of ulti-
mate starvation"

about CAMEL Cigarettes
In an effort to injure the wonderful sale,
of CAMEL cigarettes, many unprincipled
schemes have been resorted to. The fol-
lowing is one of many ways such lies have
been put into circulation.
Anindividual Ii would approach group
OF men, produce newspaper, published in
a distant city, and apparently become inter-
ested in reading. Suddenly he would ex-
claim, what do you think of this?" He
would then pretend to read an article about
CAMEL cigarettes. In reality, the paper
contained no such statement. The indi-
vidual would at once walk away, carrying
the paper with him. Anewspaper from
distant city was always used in an effort to
cover the tracks of the liar.
Would anyone voluntarily do this kind
of unprincipled work? They must have
been paid by someone to do it, and all of
them should be exposed. An honest man
will not knowingly work under the direc-
ton of a crooked superior, nor will an
honest superior knowingly tolerate
crooked employee. However, some sales
men have told the trade that they had i'm
their possession newspaper containing a
damaging article about CAMEL cigarettes
This was a malicious falsehood, as they had
no such newspaper, and when asked to
produce it, they were unable to do So
CAMEL cigarettes are pure and delightful
and the most popular cigarettes ever sold at
any price. Cigarette smokers will not, for
any length of time, permit malicious false
hoods to prejudice them against CAMELS.

especially. You live with them and
talk with them for weeks perhaps be-
