RUTLAND, Feb. 16.-Is any Rut-

nous mlanow? The handsome silvery
little flsh whose sides are vertically
striped with black IS a denison Of the
sea, also frequenting rivers tributary
to the ocean, and is hardly to be ex-
pected n an inland pond in Vermont.

aquarium at his home, Charles f. Tut

that there was a water filled quarry
hole IN Proctor in which there are a
large number Of minnows two to three
inches in length. A supply Of the lit
tie fish was easily obtained and their
strange appearance at once attrcted
attention. Unlike am specimens of the
:. bait fish sort to be obtained in
brooks about Rutland, their identity
puzzled even those who have a general
knowledge of the inland fish Of north
eastern North America.
In order to solve the mvst nv Of the
strange fish in the artificial pond some

curator of fishes, writes as follows con.
corning them:

thought the old accumulation can be
disposed of and fresh shipments will
await their turn.
FINDING the empties in crowded
yards, making them into trains and
dlspatchlng them westward on fast
freight schedules is task which some
officials regard as almost herculean,
though necessary if adequate relief is
to be obtained. Some Of the roads, it
IS understood, have offered to place
their own empties at the disposal of
other roads hit harder by the general
shortage, and all the roads, it was
said, VIII work in close cooperation

Company, the Remington Arms Com
pany and the Ford Motor Company
yesterday called upon Secretary of the
Navy aniels and told him they stood
ready at moments notice to suspend
work and turn their entire capacity to
the manufacture of munitions for this
government.
the Carnegie Steel Company, told Sec
retary Daniels that his company would
expedite all government work and that
the navy could call upon them for
anything. The Secretary said:
II told MIR. Bonner that / appre-
ciated his offer. and all the more be-
cause the Carnegie Steel Company has
been facilitating and expediting de-
liveries of government work for
months"
Bethlehem Ready to Expedite Shells
Eugene Grace, president of the
Bethlehem Company. made a similar
offer. He said his company has now
on hand $500 shells and is using it's
best efforts to get them in shape for
the Navy Department. He offered all
the facilities of the Bethlehem plant
at any time.
Henry Ford, the Detroit automobile
manufacturer, is also willing to do
everything in his power to help. He
said:
the event of war will place our fac
tory at the disposal of the United
States government and will operate
without one cent of profit. / will also
contribute my own time and work
harder than ever before"
Remington Arms Also in Line
A representative of the Remington
Arms Company, the big concern that
has been turning out munitions for the
allies, called at the Navy Department
to tell Secretary Daniels that all the
facilities anu equipment of his COM
pany were at the disposal of the gov
ernment.
Besides these offers made personally
to the Secretary, many others from
large companies and of the same char
partment of taoird lotuntaoun taouna
acter are coming in my mail. The
Department of Justice is engaged in
framing a bill giving the PRESIDENT
authority in emergencies to comman-
deer shipyards and munition plants,
but it is evident from the spirit shown
to date that even if this provision is
made a law it will not benecessary to
invoke it. Apparently. any private in
terest the government want can be
made for the asking.
