Athens College Notes

Athens; January 12.-fSpeciaL) School opened Thursday morning, January 3, with the regular days schedule of work. Students and teach CTS returned from vacation anxious to begin work.
 The sophomore class, having given their active minds rest during va cation, came back with an inspiration. An announcement was made that by paying 10 cents the other college folk might be privileged to see the inspira- tion, and at o'clock Saturday even- ing the class gave mock presentation of Hamlet" making it rousing com edy. Perhaps Shakespeare did not know what good comedy material Hamlet was, but the sophs, who are ultra Shakespearian in mental scope the performance felt that it was quite a play for a dime. The proceeds were added to the gymnasium fund.
 Because of the inclemency of the weather Sunday morning the church services were held in the auditorium of ths college. Dr. Glasgow delivered a sermon on three famous Biblical eharacters-Solomon Moses and Paul as representing wisdom. law and pure Christian character.
 The gymnasium campaign continued through the Christmas holidays and several of the girls brought liberal contributions to the fund

reddced. and the food losses there will have to be replaced by lish and meat shipped in from other parts of the world.
 We do not pretend to be a nation of 1 fishermen, but our waters are so fat In sea food that we could multiply our product an hundredfold. We have not only the United States proper. but we have our colonal possessions. about which
 are fisheries now producing Sl5DO00J worth of seafood every year. The Filipi- nos are like the Japanese in that they hive largely on fish, and our islands have many kinds of fishes, from those that live in the sea to some that wade about in the mud
 One of the fishes in which there is bound to be a great shortage in Europe is the herring This forms a large part of the catch of the North sea, amount ing in some years to about 5000 OOo'OVl fishes. weighing on the average aoout one-half pound apiece. We have vast schools of herring in the northern Allan tic and they swarm in the waters of Alaska They are dried and smoked in vast numbers and there is hardly small country store anywhere in the United States that does not keep them on sale.
 We have one kind of herring which is so abundant that we catch more than ], ,0oo, GOO 600 of them every year-so many that their weight would exceed that of three or four million men, or more sol diers than we are likely to send for sometime to the trenches of France This is the menhaden, palatable food fish, so abundant that our fishermen catch it in order that 1t may be turned into oil and fertilizer. The fish is almost as fat as the famdls candle fish of Alaska, which when dry will burn like a candle. Just before the war began the bureau of fisheries investigated this industry It estimated that the catch of this year produced 6,5000o0 gallons of oil and nearly 90000 tons of fertilizer, and that the number of fish caught were many that if they Were laid end to end they

would reach in an unbroken line six times around the earth at the equator.
 Nye have more fishermen catching men hsSaen than in any other branch of the industry. The fish are taken in seines hundreds of thousands being sometimes pulled up in single net. They swim .-a, in immense schools, their heads close to the surface, and often tier above .t.rf, packed almost as closely together as sardines in box. They are of q
 n, er and are phosphorescent at night, so that a school then looks like ., .,.ne tvI of aannng fire. AS they swim below the surface in the daytime one may see thes- glittering backs down ouoer tne water and tse boats seem to be gliding over a floor inlaid with blocks of silver. This statement comes from one of the reports of the bureau of fisheries
 The menhaden is good not only for man, but for many of the other fishes we eat. It is the principal diet of the mackerel. the bluefish and swordftsh, and many other fishes prey upon it. It is caught all along the Atlantic coast from Maine to Florida The industry is well organized and could be easily mos bilized by the food administration.
 Our best fishing grounds in propor- tion to the number of men employed are the waters of Alaska We have 22,00J men there who are catching hundreds of millions of pounds of sea food every year. We have 14,000 fishermen farther south in the Pacific ocean and about 2000 in the great lakes and the Mississippi river. We have 22,000 fishermen in New England, 15,0O0 along the Gulf of Mexico and more than 10000 working along the Atlantic coast from New England to Florida. Altogether there is an army of 165 000 engaged in fishing as a business and the capital invested is nearly S89000. : GOO. The number of vessels employed is more than 700O and the total catch runs high into the hundreds of millions of pounds.

These two facts naturally lead to ths investigation of concrete as shipbuild- ing material last year, when the indus. try began to wake up in America. Engi- neers from all over the world got to work, and many experiments were carried out, reports made, and cases investigated. The results of the investigation were such that today concrete shipbuilding is be- ginning to rival wood shipbuilding.
 William O. Sell, structural concrete engineer of this city, was asked about this development, and said:4
 lsrhe government has wisely kept much of it's construction work more or less of q secret, but I believe I am not aiding the enemy when I state that it is fact that the navy department has at this time under construction an ocean going ship of reinforced concrete.
 This ship will have displacement of over POGO tons. It is generally under stood that more contracts for much larger vessels are to follow. One reason for beginning on small scale is that details of construction must be worked cut. Just as the liberty motor was not
 
 built, SC with the ships of concrete
 "Whether or not these ocean going ships will be a success remains to be seen. We do know, however, that for river transportation, the concrete barge is well established. In fact, in our of flee the design of a barge has become more or less of a routine matter. Only last Monday we designed a barge for an Ohio river firm which will probably be in service by March l, carrying coal and steel from Pittsburg and the Monon- sahela district to Mississippi river points
 'In 1911 the government built number of concrete barges at Panama. The main reason was that they needed some barses in a hurry and there was no available lumber In 1916 an explosion occurred near them, resulting strong current, which broke them from their moorings and caused them to collide. This did no damage whatever. l understand that there are from 10 to F of these now in service. In 1916 the storm at Mobile washed ashore large concrete barge and damaged it somewhat. Repairs are now going on, and in short time this old boat will again be in service.
 sIhe main advantages of concrete ships and barges are their lower ultimate
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-01-13

cost and their long life. The first cost of concrete boat is generally between that of wood and steel However there is no rotting or corrosion, no danger of fire, and boring worms cannot attack the hull. The time of building the hull is less than that required for either of the other types. Barnaces and other sea growths find conditions unfavorable
 Some of the local capital is interested in concrete shipbuilding, and it would not surprise me to hear of company or. ganized for this work at any time. Con- crete barges will materially aid the de. velopment of the Warrior and Coosa rivers !"

since his first coming in 1877. He has grown rapidly and, according to our last fish census, is giving us more than 43 60o0o0 pounds of food every year.
 There are now millions of carp in the United States. and the number might easily be run high into the billions. The fish are raised on the farms of different parts of Europe and in Germany almost every farmer has his carp pond. We have something like 100000 farms in the United States and if one farmer in six should start a carp pond the interior of our country would have more of this food than 1t could possibly eat.
 Some may object to the taste of the carp but that Is because they do not know how to cook it. The fish has been sometimes called the hog of the waters. it ilkes to wallow in the mud. and when IS 1irst taken from a mud pond it is apt 10 have mud taste. This disap-

To be possessed of a head of heavy, beautiful hair; soft, lustrous. fluffy, wAvy and free from dandruff is merely matter of using little Danderine.
 It Is easy and inexpensive to have nice, soft hair and lots of it. Just get a small bottle of Knowlton's Danderine now-it costs but few cents-all drug stores recommend it--apply a little as directed and within ten minutes there will be an appearance of abundance. freshness. fluffiness and an incompar- able gloss and lustre. and try as you will you can not find trace of dan druff or falling hair; but your real sur prise will be after about two weeks use, when you will see new hair--fne and downy at first--yes-but really new hair-sprouting out all over your scalp
 Dandertne is. we believe. the only sure hair grower, destroyer of dandruff and cure for itchy scalp. and 1t never fails to stop falling hair al once
 If you want to prove how pretty and soft your hair really is. moisten cloth with a little Danderine and carefully draw it through your hair--taking one small strand at time. Your hair will be soft glossy and beautiful in just A few moments--a delightful surprise ewatts everyone who tries this.

pears if the live fish is kept for few days in clear water, and then the meat will be found to taste as fresh as that Of our fish from the lakes or the seas
 If 8 carp is cooked the right way it is hard to distinguish it from some Of our choicest sea food. A few years aeo 200 members of the American and Can a6ian fish associations met together fot a fish dinner. Tbey were supposed to ne experts on fish. and they ate what they thought was red snapper and called ii delicious. After the dinner was aveg they were told it was carp. which had been prepared by a chef who understood how to cook it. U protein food values carp meat is equal to mutton and al- most to the best of sirloin steak. The bureau of fisheries can give you simple recipes how to fry. boil and bake it. and how to make carp pickles, carp salads and carp croquettes.
