West vlrglnia's Prohibition Amend

Washington.-In the most sweeping
Of all decisions unfolding prohibition
laws, the supreme court on Monday
upheld as constitutional and valid the
Webb-Kenyon law prohibiting ship
ments OF liquor from wet" to dry"
states. 1t also sustained West Vir-
ginia's recent amendment to her law
prohibiting importation in interstate
commerce of liquor for personal use,
After having been vetoed by Presi-
dent Taft, who held it unconstitutional,
and having been repassed by congress
over his veto, the law was sustained
by the supreme court by a vote of Z
to 2.
THE all reaching power OF govern
ment over liquor Is settled" said the
chief justice in announcing the de-
cision. There was no intention Of
congress TO forbid individual use of
liquor The purpose of this act was
to cut out by the roots the practice Of
permitting violation of state liquor
laws. We can have no doubt that con-
gress has complete authority to pre-
vent paralyzing of state authority.
congress exerted a power to co-ordi-
nate the national with the state au-

SoUID AND CARP AS FOOD
Uncle Sans Bureau Of Fisheries Un-
dertakes to Promote Their Use In
Certain Sections.

In connection with experiments in
the drying Of squid as an article of
food, the United States bureau of fish
cries, at its Woods Hole laboratory,
has made several determinations of
the water, nitrogen, ash and fat, and
ascertained the time of artificial diges-
ton. Squid meat consists of about II
per cent water. OF the solids, about
s per cent is fat, IN per cent ash, and
81 per cent protein. The last figure
is exceptionally high. Squid meat di-
gests more slowly than some other
meats, such as herring, mackerel and
boiled egg white. This slow dlgesti-
bility does not, Of course, indicate
any inferiority in food value, but sug-
gests that it would properly be part
Of the heavy meal of the day.
"Eat the carp" Is the caption on an
attractive poster which has been is
sued by the bureau of fisheries. It is
used in carp campaign which is be-
Ing conducted by the bureau independ-
emily and also in cooperation with
the states relation service of the de-
partment of agriculture. Prospective
eaters Of carp are invited to write for
Information and recipes. This cam
paign is intended to promote the fuller
utilization of carp in regions in which
It occurs as an abundant food fish.

FISH PRODUCE MANY EGGS
Scientific Count Shows Perch 1o.z
Inches Long Contained 30,4eo-
More In Small Than Large.

Information concerning the number
of eggs produced by various species of
fish has been limited mainly to rather
rough estimates.
According to the Allgemeine Fisch-
erel-Zeitung, some careful counts were
made last year at the Bavarian trout
hatchery The first investigations were
In connection with common trout and
rainbow trout; 5S specimens Of the
former and 54 Of the latter were
stripped, and the ova counted. The
older and heavier fish were found to
have the most eggs (ranging up to
about 10000, but the younger fish
yielded a decidedly larger number Of
eggs in proportion to the weight Of
the fish.
The experiments were repeated with
perch (Perca fiuviatilis), in this case
the females just about to spawn being
