SEEK MORE FISH TO CAN
Increasing Demand for Product Hss
Led to Inquiries as to Where II
Cas- Ne Had.

There is a perpetual and increas-
ing demand for canned fish Of all
sorts. The utilization Of the dogfish,
or grayfish, as IL is more politely
called, has added TO the opportuni-
ties Of the eastern Gamers, but those
on the Pacific coast are looking to the
westward for a still further supply.
The yellow and blue fin tuna (known
as the horse mackerel when they APP
pear in eastern waters), the dolphin
and bonita are plentiful in Hawaiian
waters, and Pacific coast Gamers are
making inquiries as TO the possibility
of securing a catch large enough to
warrant the establishment of can
neries on the islands.
The commercial fisheries of Hawaii
are almost exclusively In the hands
Of the Japanese. A few years ago
they formed small companies to oper-
ate hand-propelled sampans. These
brought the fish to the Hawaiian mar
kets, where the catch was sold at auc-
ton. The gasoline boats have taken
the place of those propelled by oars
or sails and these have a steaming
radius of thousand miles. They are
equipped with ice chambers, so that
the fish may be kept from four to six
days.
Large corporations have been
formed. One company controls $50
japanese boats and another 40. The
tuna at present prices, retailing at 10
to 20 cents a pound, is too costly to
permit Of canning with profit. The
bonita sells at 3 cents or less and
might be used to advantage, as 1t is
very plentiful.
There is also a little sardine fish
that is taken in great numbers. The
establishment of United States gar
risons at or near Honolulu has
greatly increased the demand for
fish, but no survey has yet been made
which determines whether canneries
can be made commercially profitable.

The gorilla is mans nearest rela-

Unfortunately, he will not enjoy the

Plans of the War Department to
draft from 100000 to 100000 men
of the 100000 registered Tuesday
for the new army, were disclosed by
Provost Marshal General Crowder to
the Senate military affairs committee.
Exemptions, he said, probably would
result in reducing the number to $685.
600 men for immediate service. While
the War Department had originally
planned TO first select 100000 men,
General Crowder told the committee
the plans had been revised and it is
now proposed to require 625, 200. To
secure this number, he said, it proba-
bly, will be necessary to draft at least
100000 and possibly 1,50O,0OO, be-
cause of expected exemptions. The
men drafted probably will be in train
ing camps by Sept /.

DUKE OF AOSTA MAY
SUCCEED CONSTANTINE
Allies May Gust Greek Ruler In
Favor Of Cousin of italian
King, Victor Emmanuel.

The Duke of Aosta, whom, it was
said, the allies had determined to place
on the Greek throne instead Of King
Constantine, comes of a family of
kings. Victor Emmanuel II. of Italy
was his grandfather, Humbert 1. of
Italy vas his uncle and Victor EN-
manuel Ill, the present italian ruler,
is his first cousin. His father, Amedeo,
Duke of Aosta, became by election-for
a short and stormy season-the king of
Spain.
For a number of years the dazzling
vision Of the Italian throne itself was
held before the dukes eyes. While
his cousin, the present Italian mon.
arch. was still the prince Of Naples his
health became so impaired that the
cpee was looked upon by Italy as the
heir presumptive to the throne.
That this alluring hope came to
naught was a bitter disappointment to
the Duchess of Aosta, it has always
been said in Europe. The duchess was
Helene of Orleans, daughter Of the late
Count OF Paris, and was one of the
most beautiful women Of the European
nobility. Her wedding to the duke
took place IN England twenty-five
years ago, at a, time when his pros.
poets for a kingdom appeared the most
happy.
In. the. present Wharf.-The duke has
proved hiihS4if an intrepid general.
He has tive sons.

are getting bigger purses for corn and

tables are likely to be turned and the
city chap who goes looking for a for

fails to make good will be sa~rcastically
told that bookkeeping Or ste%nography
is his proper level. In times of acct
dent potatoes have retailed at about 81

Of the apple orchard would be the prize
winner and sell at $500 u Sc a barrel
to the consumer. But now the con-
sumner pays more for potatoes than for
apples, ever when apples are above nor
NAL. Corn is not liable to such star
Ting changes as potatoes. There are
more substitutes for its food product
than for potatoes. 1t was a safe crop
in normal days when a bushel would
buy a pound Of coffee. Now a bushel
will buy three pounds or more, and
cabbage retails for about its weight in
sugar. Remarkable yields and remark
able prices are all very we'll in their
way. They show that financial light
ming may strike the humble corn or po-
tato patch as we'll as the mine or bank.
But the significant thing is-for the

stands between the masses and starya-

ANOTHER Menace
TO OCEAN Travel
Not U Boats, Floating Mines
or Raiders.
IT IS THE RAG SCARCITY

chartmakers Lack Particular Quality
of Rags That Go Into Making of
Maps-Navigators Must Have Them
to Guide Their Vessels In Treacher-
GUS Waters.
Every n knows that the scarcity of
paper is ha%ndicapping the dissemina-
ton of news, but how many know that
the same scarcity is actually a source
of peril to navigation? Yet conditions
have come to such a pass that DR.. Z.
Lester Jones, superintendent Of the
United States coast and geodetic sur
vey, has called attention to the gravity
of the matter.
The world war has stimulated and
brought about changes in the shipping
trade. The navigator has to have
charts, and as things: have developed
shippers are. calling for more and more
of these photographic guides.
All Want Latest Charts.
They want charts Of places widely
separated and of approaches to ports
that formerly were only infrequently
visited. This is because there are
fewer ocean f%reighters in general traf-
fc, and they must therefore 60 dodg-
ing about the sever seas in their we'll
nigh. ceaseless activities. A captain
bound for an unfamiliar destination in
sists upon the most accurate charts he
can, get. and he is not content unless
they bear the stamp of governmental
authority.
Heretofore the foreign navigator has
depended mainly on Europeon charts.
but the supply Of these is naturally
very much limited today. The coast
and geodetic survey and the United
States photographic Office are the
principal sources from which ships
leaving American ports can now get
charts. But the demand is far in ex-
cess of the supply, and this state Of
affairs is likely to become worse if
more paper is not o. available for
| tile printing of charts. During the past
| year the increased demand for charts
by shipping and by u navy depart.
ment has amounted to a total of 10000
charts, while the entire distribution
has reached a figure of nearly 100000.
Exactness Required.
Just what the printing Of a chart
means is not understood by the av
| erage layman. Exactness and precision
are required at every step.
Each chart is put through the press
from two to five times, and the gen.
eral average is three runs. First comes
the black plate; then the buoy plate,
| by which the buoys are colored; next
follows the tint plate, which distin.
! cuisines the land areas from the water
areas, and Oh certain charts blue and
! yellow tints are employed for purposes
of added definition.
During the fiscal year ended with
June last the coast and geodetic sur.
vey bought 75,949 pounds of chart pa
per, and then paid 16 cents a pound
for it. The price has mounted a great
deal higher in the meantime. This
governmental outlay is promptly re-
paid. because the charts are sold at q
price that overs the cost Of paper and
printing.
How many have ever realized that
the safety Of the mariner and others
on shipboard depended largely upon
an abundance Of rags! Such. however,
is q fact.
