Oldtime Bangor shipping men read
with some interest of the sale of the
tug Delta, and that she is still In active
service in New York, at the age of So
years. The Delta was originally a Gov
eminent boat used in building the jet
ties at the mouth of the Mississippi,
having been bought in Philadelphia ana
renamed. She went to the Penobscoy
river more than rs years ago and was
used as = harbor boat by Ross g.
Howell. and had been hauled up for
several years when the Morse interests
took ocer the Penobscot fleet and she
was sent to the kennebec about 10
years ago. She is a small high pres
sure boat, but appears to have been of
sound construction, and there are
probably few of her craft of her class

WAR HAS TAUGHT
FOOD VALUE OF FISH
All Piscatorial Varieties Now on
Table; Pacific Coast Folk
Eat Sharks.

Washington May 2S.-One of the
most curious anomalies of the present
war. which has been called the greatest
DESTROYER in the worlds history, has been
the addition of many thousands of dollars
10 the national wealth of the United
States through the utilization of fish
foods which were thrown away ms worth
less until necessity demanded their con-
servatlon.
Fishing communities on the Atlantic.
Gulf and Pacific coasts and even on the
interior lakes have found lneir incomes
augmented materially by the public
readiness TO eat fish. which formerly WAS
regarded with prejudice through ignorance
OF the foods : tastincss and nutrlment.
The radical change which has been
wrought hv the war in the fishing industry
Is reflected in the Fisheries Service Rullc-

the Department Of Commerce. Instead
of being confined solely 10 items con

Regarding the pole founder, or gray

virtually unknown as food prior To the
fall of 1916. As a result of the bureau
food conservation campaign, which taught
the value of the founder and ATTRACTIVE
wavs to prepare 1t. demand for the hsh
Increased until last season there were 30
boats taking founders to the New Eng
land markets. and probably 100000
pounds have becn marketed.

pounds of carp were sold from Minnesota
