URGES USE OF WHALE MEAT
Uncle Sans Bureau Of Fisheries Ex-
poets Early Demand Both in Fresh
and Preserved Form.

For some time Uncle Sans bureau
of fisheries in correspondence and In
personal interviews, has been advOcat-
Ing the use of the meat of whales, pOr-
poises, dOlphins, and other cetaceanS
for food. There is evidence of great
interest now being manifested in this
matter by whale fishermen on both
coasts, and it would not be surprising
to the bureau if within short time
the meat of whales and smaller ceta-
ceans In both fresh and preserved
form would be In demand and exten-
Sively utilized.
Whales and porpoises are mammals,
like cattle and sheep, and their flesh
is "meat" and not fish" In texture
and appearance it resembles beef,
though the color Is darker red and the
flavor is closer to that meat than any
other. 1t is devoid of all fishy taste.
1t Is likely that 1t will soon be obtain
able fresh, cOrned, and canned, and il
IL recommended by the bureau to
those who have the opportunity to pur-
chase it.
Whale meat was placed on the mar.
ket in Seattle, WASH, and Portland,
Ore. The product met with ready
sale at 10 cents pound and was i'm
mediately placed on the menus of no.
tells and restaurants under its proper
name.

Great Sugar Plantation.

About third Of the arabic area OF
st. CrOix is included in one large sugar
plantation owned by a Danish carpo,
ration, and 1t is one of the most keau,
tiful plantations In the West Indies
Its rolling fields of light, tender green
catching the sunlight on million uuiv,
ering blades, lies between a low range
Of darkly tlmbered hills and the blue
palm-fringed ocean. There are royal
and coconut palms along the excellent
roads that intersect the great estate
and along the stream courses in its
gentle valleys. Every hilltop ID
crowned by some sort Of structure
and most Of them are picturesque
ruins; for this island was one Of the
first bits of the western hemisphere
that Columbus found, and 1t has been
occupied and cultivated almost ever
since.

PARKS ARE DEVELOPED
New Bureau to Manage All Of
Uncle Sans Fairgrounds.
Several Already Have BEEN Made
Self.Supportlns as Result ef
Increased Patronage.

The National Park service which
was created by congress TO administer
the national parks under one COrrelat-
ed system has been organized. Sec
retary Lane of the interior department
has appointed as director Stephen T..
Mather who, to accept the place, re-
signed the office of assistant to the
secretary of the interior. Horace NJ
Albright becomes assistant director.
Secretary Lane began the work Of
national parks development, the sue
cess of which is insured by the or.
ganizatiOn of this new bureau, two
years and half ago. During this pre-
liminary period much has been accom-
plished of Importance to the cause.
All rational parks have been opened
TO automobiles. New roads have been
projected of which many have been
built and many improved. CO-opera-
tiOn in the public interest has been
promoted between railroads and the
government, between concessiOners
and park managements, and between
parks. Large private capital has been
| induced to enter several national parks
for the enlargement and improvement
of hotel and transportation service.
Prices to the public have been de-
| creased wherever possible.
New concessions have been made on
a basis destined to make national
parks self-suppOrting under conditions
of increased patronage, and several
parks already have become self-sup-
porting. Larger appropriations have
been secured from congress for road
building and the perfecting of sani-
tary and other conditions. An exten-
sive educational campaign has been
inaugurated for the information Of the
people concerning the hitherto I'M
Known quality and extent Of their
scenic and recreational possessions,
under which public interest in our ma
tiOnal parks is growing with unantlci-
pated speed and public realization,
Interest and practical use Is the con-
ditlOn as well as the object of nation
al parks development. 'ublic patron
age of the parks has increased rapidly
and steadily.
These and many other beginnings
point the way toward the system
which 1t will be the object of the new
service to build and perfect.

Comes From Ireland to
Rejoin Soldiers of Sea

There's a little spot In Ireland
that Michael Mcnamara had in
his "moind's eye' for long time
thirty years, in fact. All that
time Michael was ObeylnG or
ders, drilling, campaigning and
doing the hundred-and-One things
that fall to the lot of tie Ameri-
can marine.
Michael finished his time, re-
tiring with the rank Of "sHrjint
major, no less" and went back
TO that little spot in County
Mayo.
Then came our participation
in the war. Did Michael stay
retired? He did not! He came
right back, paying his own fare,
and went directly to the U. S.
Marine corps headquarters to
volunteer his services.
Mcnamara could have signed
up with some Irish regiment, for,
/, despite his fifty-Odd years, he is
still n "fOine broth av a boy"
Instead. he braved the Subma-
rlnes to fight under the flag that
for thirty years he had called his
own.

parents' Interest In chIIdren

Psychology pronOunces the law Of
interest from parent to child to be true.
Therefore, If parents desire their chill.
dren to succeed in music or in any
other subject, the surest way to obtain
that success is to take more than a
passing interest in their work, and see
that they practice the studies which
are designed to insure that success.
