PLENTY OF FISH AT
TEN CENTS A POUND
Food Administration Declares That
Scarcity is Oyer-Profiteers Are
Warned-All Dealers Must Sell
Some Kind Under This Figure.

Washington, May 12.-The Food
Administration announces that the
scarcity in supplies of saltwater fish
on the Atlantic seaboard has largely
been remedied and that hereafter on
every day of the week from May to
December some of the many varieties
of saltwater fish will be available in
the wholesale markets along the At
lantic Coast at prices ranging from
four to six cents per pound. Accord
ingly, retailers in the large cities
along the Atlantic Coast and in
towns within reachable transporta-
ton distance from the seaboards VIII
be able to sell on every weekday at
least one kind of fish at 10 cents
pound or under. The Food Admins
tration warns retail fish dealers that
anyone of them who does not offer
at least one kind of fish to the pub
lie at a price not exceeding 10 cents
will be regarded as mot patriOtical-
ly cooperating with the administra
ton and the proper measures will be
taken in each case.
The particular variety sold by the
retailer on this 10-cent basis must
necessarily vary from day to day with
the available supplies. Fish now
available on the low-priced basis in
clude market cod, scrod cod, scrod
paddock, haddock, medium hake,
skate wings, grayfish, founders,
shad herring, herring, whiting,
croakers, butterfish (smalD. spotted
trout (smalD, weakfish (smalD,
small shad (known as jacks or skipsJ
tinker, mackerel, squid, small Boston
mackerel, drum, menhaden, shark,
sea robins, spots. Others will be add
ed as the runs of the shore varieties
strike on through the different At
lantic Coast districts in heavier vol
umes.
The country was threatened with
what amounted to a practical fish
famine during the winter. The short
age arose fundamentally from the
necessities of the Navy in requisl-
tioning deep-sea trawlers and other
fishing vessels and in recruiting fish
ermen for naval service. How i'm
.portant this has been may be seen
from the fact that the Trawler ca
pacity supplying the New England
districts was decreased last summer
from an annual capacity of approx
mately 60,000,000 pounds to $4,000,
900 pounds.
A substantial number of new traw-
lers are now On the ways and APP
preaching completion. Owing to the
action of Secretary Redfield in open
ing up our fishing ports to Canadian
vessels several Canadian trawlers are
now fishing to our markets. There
is every prospect of acquiring trawl-
ers from the Scandinavian fisheries
for use in this country. In the mean
time, the relaxation of State regula-
lions that have been effected by the
food Administration should tend to
increase greatly the production of
the shore fisheries and its reflex will
be steadily shown in the wholesale
prices of fish as the season pro-
crosses.
With the approach of next winter
the Food Administration is confident
the deep-sea fishing and the winter
production of ground fish through
the various sources indicated should
be restored to normal.

MOTHERS DAY OBSERVED
THROUGHOUT COUNTY
More Carnations Worn This Year
Than Previously-Appropriate Ser
mons i'm Churches of Dorchester.

Mothers Day was appropriately
observed yesterday throughout Dor

churches on War Savings Stamps. 1t
was the opening day of the campaign
and the ministers and congregations
took an opportunity to enter into the
spirit of the occasion, so as to make
it honor the mothers, who gave them
their lives.
Everywhere white and pink carna

GOVERNOR HARRINGTON
AT W. S. S. MEETING
Tells People Not to Ask Questions,
But to do as They Are Told-ReV.
r. L.. Hubbard Also Speaks.

stop asking questions and do as
you are told" said Governor Har-
rington in an address yesterday at
the Grand Opera House, at the open
ing of the campaign for War Say
ings Stamps. The mothers have
given their sons, and as the Govern
ment is working for their welfare, 1t
is not for US to question the de-
mands made upon us.
Last week I sent letter to all
the lawyers OF the State, drafting
them to speak at any place and at
any time they are needed. This is a
critical time, and everyone must do
his part to bring about the victory.
Dorchester did well in the Liberty
Loan, and 1 want her to do as well,
if not better, in the present campaign
for Thrift and War Savings Stamps.
The Government must have the
money if transports are to be built
and manned, men equipped Tor
trench duty, and submarine warfare
annihilated.
But these are investments, lend
ing your money where you get bet
ter rate of interest than on savings
accounts But there is coming
cause to which you must give. Not
one penny will come back, but every
cent will be spent caring for the
wounded soldiers and sailors. The
Red Cross is building up what Prus-
sianism is tearing down. l want my
people to give to this noble work, not
a few dollars, but give until it
hurts
The Governor then commended
the work OF the Y. M. G. A. and the
Knights of Columbus. He also tou-
ched on conserving food and spoke
of the necessity not only of food pro-
duction, but food conservation.
Referring to matters of Govern
ment, he said that they gave him few
opportunities TO leave Annapolis, as
State and National affairs were
weighing heavily upon him. But,
continued the Chief Executive,
you'll always find me at my post. AS
long as America needs men, l expect
to do my share"
Governor Harrington was followed
by Rev. E. L. Hubbard, who made
beautiful address on Mothers Day.

DUTCH MINISTER GOING
HOME; HE NEEDS SLEEP
DR.. Philips, Here Since February 10,
Is Worn Out With Strain
of Work

Washington. April 9.--Thc Minister Of
the Netherlands, Dir. August Philips, who
has been in the United States only a
few weeks. has given up his post in
Washington and will return to his own
country. The reason given for the
resignation of Doctor Philips is illness.
Ever since his arrival in this country
he has suffered with insomnia, resulting
in a nervous condition which ncCeS-
STATED complete rest.
Both at the state Department and at
the Netherlands Legation the eXplana-
ton was made that the decision of
Doctor Philips to leave Washington is
without political significance. The lega-
ton will be under the direction Of Or.
w. II. DC Beaufort. who now acts as
counselor and virtually has taken
charge of Dutch affairs to relieve Doctor
Philips for several weeks. \ successor
to Doctor Philips has not been appointed
Doctor Philips, who succeeded Dr. Van
Rappard, presented his credentials on
February 49, From the moment of his
arrival he has been under the unusual
strain of conducting tho negotiations
with this Government relating to the
use Of Dutch tonnage, which were
brought to an end by the decision to
reQuisition all Dutch vessels in British
and American ports.
