Tankage from Fish

"Florida has a wonderful varie
ty of vegetation, on the land and
in the waters. The seas about il
and the interior lakes and rivers
abound in fish. All these things
offer unusual opportunities for in.
vestigation and utilization. Daily
new uses are being found and in
the form Of by-products of things
formerly wasted or deemed of nc
use," says the State Marketing
Bureau. "Cotton seed, once
thrown away, is now the source OF
a valuable edible oil, and is even
being made into -four, and the
same is true of the peanut. A
score or more, heretofore, un.
known useful by-products are
made from corn, including sugar
syrup, oil, rubber, soap, etc.
"To stimulate greater interest
in the production of fish meal
which is a~good substitute fo1
tankage in the feeding of hogs.
E. 2. Russell, in charge of swine
investigations for the q. S. De.
partment of Agriculture, recently
visited a number of fisheries along
the gulf coast, as well as a num-
Der of marketing centers in the
South. Tests show that fish meal
is equal in feeding value to tank
age, as it contains about 81 per
cent protein. 1t is made by dry
ing nonedible fish and grinding
fine. This meal is being used at
the U, S, Experiment farm in
Beltsville, Nd, to replace tank
age. The menhaden fisheries a.
lone on the Atlantic coast can pro-
duce annually 10000 tons of fish
meal. Fisheries along the gulf
states and Mississippi river have
been wasting or manufacturing as
fertilizer large quantities of non
edible fish. Mr.. Russell's visit to
the gulf states was to investigate
the feasibility and to urge the
fisheries to manufacture these
nonedible fish into fish meal for
swine feeding.
"a large industry to make use
of every part of the fish so abund-
ant in the gulf of Mexico, is being
constructed at st. Andrews, and il
will not be long before similar in.
dustries will be found at other
points on the gulf and along the
Atlantic coast.-Times- Union.

For many years, have been
opposed to woman's suffrage
without being able to advance
any good reason for my opposi-
ton. The reason for such feel
ing seemed to be inherent or sub
conscious. When our Florida
senators voted against the woman
suffrage amendment, | felt a
warm spot in my heart for them
and felt they had done right, and
even then | could advance no rea-
son why. Recent events have
crystalized the subconscious idea
into one which stands out boldly
in my mind, and | no longer won
der why | do not approve the idea
of women engaging in politics. In
fact, | know only too well why
they should not. When a man
entrs the political arena and casts
his hat into the ring as a candi-
date, he may well be glad that
his past is an open book with no
dark pages concealed. Even then
he is often the target of unde-
served abuse and calumny.
Should woman enter politics in
Florida-which Heaven forbid |!
no ones character would be
safe, if it was to their political in
terests to assail his life and ante
cedents. AS scandal-monger
and busybody, an idle, shallow
woman is prominently howl
ling success" On account of their
responsibility and desire to med
die with other peoples business,
they should be ever kept from e.
quail rights with men. One does
not even have to be a candidate
for Office in order to have his
character assailed! 1t is then
that one can thank God for a
clear conscience and clean life
"'Satan finds mischief for idle
hands to do" and, therefore,
character assassins should be- CIV

keep them out of mischief

Henry W. Zeh. who has conducted a
coal business for the last six years
at 205 7th street southwest. has been
drafted and will report to the military
authorities at o'clock Sunday morn
ing to go to Camp Meade.
Mr.. Zeh's chief clerk, the only other
person in the office capable of running
the business. was taken by the gov
eminent a short time ago, and. because
no other employee is capable of handling
the affairs of the concern and he can
not obtain any one on such short notice,
Mr.. Zeh was forced to close. This is
believed to be the first case in WASH
ington where the draft has forced D
registrant to close his business.
'Heinie" Zeh. as his friends all know
him. Is the son of Mr.. and Mrs. George
F. Zeh of 1857, Harvard street north
west, and was born and received his
education here. He is twenty-eight
years old He attended Central High
School, where he was Il star per-
former in the distance races on the
track team. In 1913 he was graduated
from George Washington University
Law School. He is a member Of
Lam bda Sigma and Sigma Chi fra
ternities. Mr.. Zeh served for two
years in the High School Cadet Corps
in the District National Guard, where
he had the rank of sergeant at the
expiration of his enlistment.
Mr.. Zeh will march in the parade to-
day with the 492 selective men called
to the colors.
