AT the recommendation Of the U. S

Of the u. S. food administration,
scould yield at least 5o,0eo.o00 pounds
Of rough or non-game fish annually.
These. might Just as well be taken out
and distributed among the rural pop

and the future supply still conserved
Under the present stringent FISH and
game laws, the supply of rough fish
has become oyerplentiful; and at a
time when the meat supply of the

to perch. strawberry bass, sunfishes
and rock bass.
Angling with all its fascination as a
sport Is uneconomical The logical
means Of catching fish for food is to
seine the streams and small lakes
under proper regulations, give the
game fish their liberty and utilize the
classes that are overplentiful.
s'The administration has no direct
power of authorizing such a course. :
stated Mr.. Fowler, "as practically all
the fishing grounds of the country are
under the control of the states. But
we have pointed out the benefits OF
less stringent fish laws as war meas
ure and the various state food admin
istrators can secure definite action
through the governors and the state
fish and game commissions. The or
ganization varies in different states.
II the people are interested enough,

While details of the operations are
subject to local management, the plan
Is briefly this. To prevent misuse of
the fishing grounds. the wardens will
either catch the fish themselves or
deputize responsible citizens to do so.

| AN S WE RS |
BY CYNTHIA GREY )

Dear Miss Grey: In re all
this discussion going on In your
columns about women smoking,
swearing, etc.:
A lady can swear on most
any occasion, but woman,
never. If equal suffrage is to
establish the right of women to
ignore or break their codes of
morality by which they have
tempered the brutal natures of
men in days agone, then equal
suffrage is grossly violated by
not sending the militant suffra-
gette to congress instead of
placing her behind prison bars
to cure her brutal nature.
I uphold equal suffrage, but
to my mind, the typical fight
ing, Ego to hell" suffragette is
a pitiful travesty on both equal
rights and the normal woman
who would peacefully advance
to the higher plane of equality
She is equally perverse or in
sane as the brutal husband who
she would consign to the abode
of super-torment. She loses
sight Of the fact that the posi-
tive immoral nature in men
cannot be driven to correction,
but it can always be led into
better ways by the negative
moral nature in women.

Difference i'm Seriousness

Government officials auto truck lines to relieve
railways And they don't Observation-Disclosures and push
cars-C1eveand Press.
The proposition provokes smile from us, and
that shows exactly how we differ from our enc
mics, the Germans.
To get there on time, with powder or food, the
Germans will relieve the war-burdened railways
with auto trucks, wheelbarrows pushcarts, sleds,
stone-boats, roller skates or any other old thing
that will carry stuff.
Americans are slow to cut off from old condi-
tions and hate to let go of established conve-
niences. With mountains of potatoes rotting
near by or mines of coal beached on sidetracks
the average American mind doesn't turn to relief
by autos, wheelbarrows, carts and such. 1t is
much easier, much more customary to just lie
back and damn the railroads But lot of us may
be at the handles of wheelbarrows and pushcarts
before the perfect German military efficiency is
put down for keeps.
