LOBSTER NOW LUXURY
Food Has Passed Beyond the
Reach of the Poorer People.
Should Catch Small Lobster and e,ve
Larger Ones to Breed, Is Opinion
Expressed by Expert.

The lobster has passed beyond the
reach or the poor and has become a
luxury only to be enjoyed by the rich.
Every year the price of Holsters adj
vances a few points, and even at the
highest price offered it is difficult to
obtain them. From Massachusetts
comes the information that were it
not for the catches in Maine and Nova
Scotia, Holsters could not be had in
Massachusetts,, for the waters of that
state have been fished out. In 1888. so
the Boston Transcript says, 1,74O.S5O
holsters Of legal size were caught in
Massachusetts,. In 1914, only 1888
were taken there. The opinion seems
to be gaining ground in Massachusetts,
that mistake has been made in deal
ing with the lobster industry. The
small lobster has been protected, while
the large lobster, which is the one
which produces an enormous quantity
Of young. has been taken. This. It Is
held by some, is wrong. We should
catch the small lobster, so 1T is argued.
and leave the bigger ones to breed.
There seems to be some virtue in
this contention, because in spite of the
lobster Matching plants maintained by
the federal government fewer Holsters
are being taken each year, while the
demand for them is continually in
creasing. This, of course, accounts for
the high prices. 1t is also claimed
that In planting lobster fry the federal
agents have made serious blunders.
The fry have been liberated in places
where they have been subjected to the
attacks of other fish, and few Of the
Holsters Matched in the government
plants have ever attained a size
where they could look after them
selves. The experienced fisherman of
the Maine coast have frequently called
attention to the mistakes which were
being made In lobster propagation and
preservation. but as frequently hap
pens in the making Of laws, the opin-
ions of men who know something
about Holsters and their habits have
been ignored, and the theorists have
been the only ones consulted.
If the federal government should put
a closed time on Holsters for several
years and arrange with the Canadian
government to do the same thing. 1t Is
reasonable to suppose that the lob
sters would increase and this industry
would regain something Of the magni.
'tude II has lost. But we have no idea
that such a plan will be adopted. 1t
would be strenuously opposed by the
dealers. who now make large profits
In the business, and probably by the
fishermen also. who have considerable
capital tied up I'm their fishing gear.
What has happened in Massachusetts,
where few Holsters are now being
taken, must eventually take place In
Maine, and unless some radical step Is
adopted the time is not far away when
even as luxury the lobster will be-
come so scarce as to be beyond the
reach Of everyone save the epicurean
of the plutocratic class.-Portland
Press.

here last night. George Kirkwood, of

out in the bleachers for the sale of
his adversary in the third round of

after the bout. the report became
current that Kirkwood was none
other than Leo Underwood, of New

the belief out there that Kirkwood,
who had been away from the city
for some time, had quit the fighting
game several years ago. Peppey's
manager drew $50 as his share.
