Urging Use Of Smoked Fish

In an effort to increase the pro-
duction and consumption of smoked
fish in the South Atlantic and Gulf
States the United States Bureau of
Fisheries has detailed officials to
give demonstrations of the methods
of smoking fish at various places in
that region. They are equipped with
a small portable smokhouse, and
are prepared to instruct those desir-
Gus of developing this phase of the
fisheries They are also giving Spe-
cial attention to the smoking of men
haden and sharks, and will expert
ment with various species common
to the region to determine the suit
ability of such forms to this method
Of treatment.
At Beaumont, n. c., bonito, men
baden, whiting, mullet and shrimp
were smoked. The smoked shrimp
were found to be especially palatable
and if it proves practicable to pickle
this product and smoke it as deman-
ded by the trade, there is a posi-
bility of considerable development
in this line.

COMMANDER BOOTH
IN STIRRING ADDRESS
Speaks at Boston in Behalf of Saliva
ton Army War Service Drive For
$1,OOO,OOO, TO be Made February
18th to 22nd.

Miss Evanseline Booth, Comman-
der of the Salvation Army, who left
a sick bed to deliver her famous adj
dress, The Stars and Stripes stir
red her large audience at Boston last
Thursday to repeated applause when
she showed how the American en-
blem had ever been in the van when
liberty was at stake.
Drawing a parallel between the
United States flag and the Salvation
Army emblem, she said they were
both unfurled in Philadelphia and
that the same principles were invol-
we'd in establishing them upon firm
basis for the worlds liberty.
The meeting, which was a special
welcome to Miss Booth, had particu-
lar reference to the Salvation Army
War Service, in behalf of which a
drive for s1,OO0,O00 will be made
from February 18th to February
22nd-Lincoln's and Washington's
birthdays.
"Once," said Miss Booth, IAN old
time patriot looked out in the
dawn's early light to see if just one
flag was still there Today it waves
by the side of the grand old union
Jack from historic st. Paul's Cathed-
RAJ and when that young Texan with
the Canadians charged up Vimy
Ridge with it f1uttering from his
bayOnet, it waved with authority in
France. YeS-yeS-yeS! but what

The Necessity Of Ships.
Council of Defence,

! Council or Defence,
Cambridge, Maryland.
Gentlemen:
Because of your official position
and the vital Importance of the work
of enrolling the United States Ship
yard Volunteers, in which you are
engaged, l desire TO lay before you
; statement outlining the shipbuild-
| ing situation
The information herein contained
is placed at your disposal, for use
as you may see fit in obtaining the
enrolment of the necessary men for
the United States Shipyard Volun-
teerS.
Our shipbuilding program contem-
plates the construction of six million
tons annually, but owing TO the want
of the necessary skilled men, we are
not under present conditions in a
position to turn out that tonnage.
The Shipping Board has the mo-
ney. 1t has the yards. 1t has the
material The housing question is
being rapidly cleared up. All that
is needed is to obtain the necessary
efficient labor.
1t should be brought home to en-
ployers and to the employees of the
industries of the nation that their
own future depends on the construc-
ton Of these ships. The fact is that
the recent order issued by Fuel Ad-
ministrator Garfield, closing the fac
tories OF the whole country, and the
more recent freight embargo issued
by Secretary McAdoo, tying up all
the freight with the exception OF
J \
falling down on the part of the
carriers themselves, but because of
the lack of ships. The reason for
this is plain. The speeding up OF
the American factories piled in the
Eastern seaports, and packed into
every railway siding outside of the
seaboard cities, thousands of loaded
cars of materials for the war zone.
The result was that even the coat re
quired for the ships in harbor could
not get through, and even the few
ships which we now possess were
held in harbor by empty bunkers and
could not sail.
Until we have ships to clear the
Atlantic ports Of manufactured
goods, for which our Army in
France and our Allies are in need,
IutSe enforced mondays ana 9QDdr-
goes must recur, with the result that
no factory in America can be assur-
ed of running full time and no
workman can count on continuous
employment.
If YOU can drive this home to
your people; if this lesson, through
constant repetition, can be thorough
~ learned, there is no doubt that
you will get your quota of the nee
cssary men.
1t is not mere numbers that count
1t is the efficiency of the men en-
rolled.
Ii is as much TO the interest of the
manufacturer TO send his best men
to the shipyards as il is to the inter
est of the man himself to go.
If the use of my name will in any
way help you in your work, you
have the authority to use it. quoting
from this statmeent, to the end that
the people from your district may
realize once and for all that on la
Dor depends the construction of the
needed ships, and on these ships de-
pend not only the war itself, but the
present industrial life of the nation.
Yours respectfully,
EDWARD n. HURLEY,
Chairman of the Board.

Is NO LONGER FOOLS COL ."
Pyrites, Source Of SuIphuric Acid, Has
Been in Great Demand Since
Outbreak of War.

Years and years ago, even before
the interstate commerce commission,
the Stars and Stripes or Uncle Joe
Cannon were bora, the early arrivals
of a southern colony dropped their
hoes and went 10 mining for gold.
"Nhy raise food when the mountains
were full Of gold?" they asked as they
loaded Il ship with the shining ore.
AlaSi the metaIlurgiStS of England
said it was not gold. Visions OF
wealth We're disSipated. Worse yet.
The summer was over; the harvesI
was past, and they had laid up no
food for winter. In bitterness of spir-
it the shining ore was called fools
gold" and succeeding generations left
it undisturbed in the Southern hills.
Some centuries later the breath Of
Mars blew over the land. America
was called for its every resource.
Steel, copper, ammunition and food
stufs were required in enormous
quantities. Their production depend
upon the supply of sulphuric acid in
hitherto undreamed of quantities. The
ores from which it is extracted are
imported from Spain, and there are no
ships to spare.
What can l dos. asked South
ern man as he walked into Secretary
Lanes office.
''Find the pyrites in the Southern
hills" was the reply.
'Done," was the reply, and he founG
them.
In few weeks the five mines al
ready opened will produce 1000 tons
a day, and save the continuous eni-
ploynent of Is vessels, while the sup
ply of suIphuric acid is assured.
Fools gold will help begin winning
the war.

Possible to Be Too Abrupt.

1t is said that w. S. Gilbert, the
English dramatist, when he called on
his friends, always made a quick exit.
His alert temperament was evidently
opposed to dawdling. He knew how
tedious lingering farewells could be.
Now and then one meets some one
OF his kind, alert, definite, considerable
of others and of himself as we'll.
But, of course, in This regard it is
possible TO oyerdo. There are those
who leave so quickly that they create
sense of ahruptness and possibly Of
concern as Well. Their departure may
be followed T. such remarks as why
did he leave in that way?" or Gould
she have been hurt about anything?"

PLANE MAY RIGHT ITSELF
Stability of Machine Has Been Re-
gained Even After Nose Dive With
Wounded Pilot.

Most airplaneS are more or less sta
BILE. and can be righted from any po-
Sition provided they are not damaged
by gunfire or other cause, provided
also the pilot is not wounded, and pro-
vided there is sufficient vertical space
in which to maneuver. writes Charles
lincoln Preston in Scribner'S Maya
zine. If the pilot is wounded, ma
chine viii often right itself even from
a 'nose dive" and it may happen that
the pilot meanwhile RECEIVERS conscious
ness.
This was exactly what occurred to a
friend of my own who was dOubly
wounded at 10000 feet. and swOoned
away, with a helpless observer on
board. During the resultant dive the
pilot came to himself and landed with"
ont a crash. Not infreGuently, more
over, q courageous observer may save
the situation, and one such was
awarded the military cross not very
long ago for Il particularly daring feat.
The pilot was badly wounded and lay
over his controls. hut while the air
plane was actually diving, under full
engine power, the observer scrambled
out of his seat. hung on right outside
the bottom plane lifted the pilot up,
and pulled the machine out of It's head
long dive. And all this was effected
Will the airDane was descending at
probably q hundred miles an hour.
In another case the pilot was killed
outright, but the observer contriyed to
sit over his dead body and assume con-
troll of the machine.
