"Raise Fish" Is Advice
Of Aquarium Director
Beats Chickens for Enjoy.
ment and Profit, Says
Dr.. Townsend

It you are thinking of keeping chick
ems, consider the advice of DR.. C. II.
Townsend, director of the New York
Aquarium. Summarized, his counsel as
given to an audience in Schermerhorn
Hall, Columbia University, yesterday
afternoon, is identical with "Punch's"
famous suggestion to those about to get
married.
"Don't.' DR.. Townsend admonishes
the would-bc chicken raiser. "Raise
fish"
That the present food shortage would
be relieved to high degree if subur-
banites, commuters and backyard ad-
diets generally would take to fish rails
ing, DR.. Townsend is assured. Fish
culture, he promises, would be simple,
profitable and highly interesting. For
sheer enjoyment it has chicken raising
beaten to a frazzlc.
The city dwcller cannot do much fish
cultllvating unless he lives in an
"cighteen rooms and six baths" apart
mcnt and is willing to give up the
baths to the fish. At that the fish
wouldn't amount to much, DIR. Town
send admits, unless they were carp,
which, generally dcspised. nevertheles IS
are of such a hardihood that they will
thrive in kitchen sink. If the fish
raiser hopes for trout, bass, yellow
perch and shad, DR.. Townsend advises
a series of artificial ponds of from
35 to 60 feet in length, Is feet in
width and from to 6 feet deep.
Such ponds could be constructed at
comparatively small cost, he says, and
return considerable profit.
Some Of the points made by DR..
Townsend in his defence Of the fish as
against the chicken were these:
"Fsh reproduce rapidly and command
high prices.
"Thcy don't consume grain needed for
tho Allies.
"Thcy don't run out into the road
and get killed BY reckless automo-
bilists.
"Thcy don't wake up the neighbor-
hood before the milkman arrives"

2, 500 Mechanics Fail
As Airplane Inspectors

WASHINGTON, Feb 15.-With thou
sands of skilled mechanics on it's rolls,
the army aviation service still is finding
difficulty in developing men especially
trained to inspect airplanes before they
20 up, upon whose care and thorough
ness the lives of the aviators depend.
The work is distinct from other me
chanical phases of the air service and
requires men of unusual tempera-
mental qualifications, as we'll as high
~ developed mechanical knowledge.
Failure of the inspector to note "A
seemingly insignificant defect may send
the aviator to his death.
The care with which the mechanical
elements of the aviation squadrons are
being selected is instanccd, it was
learned to-day, by the fact that at one
camp 800 mechanics, enlisted because
Of their training and experience, have
proved unsuitcd to the work. Probably
they will be transferred to deal with
motor trucks or the like. 1t is said
that the average American automobile
mechanic does not make good air

Swede's Papers
Seized on Liner
From Argentina
Documents Of Steamship
Agent Turned Over to a
British Consul

AN ATLANTIC PORT, Feb. l5.-A
large package Of letters. manuscripts,
contracts and other commercial papers
taken at Barbados from the person and
baggage Of L. Henrichsen, agent of tn,
johnson Steamship Company, Swedish
line, was brought to port to-day on a
British liner from Buenos Ayres and
Rio de Janeiro, and Immediately sent
to a British Consul General for exami
nation.
Mr.. Henrichsen, who, with his wife,
was passenger on the vessel, was put
through long examination by the Brit
sl authorities at Barbados on cabled
instructions from London. He was in
formed that if the seized papers were
Legitimate they would be returned t.
him in America.
The drastic search was said TO have
been the result of Britain's mistrust Of
all Swedes in the Argentine.
Mr.. Henrichsen, who is of Swedish
birth, is nuturalzed British subject,
but his change of citizenship did not
spare him from British espionage.
1t was said aboard the vessel that the
British government is determined that
no information shall get to Germany
through Swedish diplomatic channels
and that every passenger Of Swedish
origin or who may be in the employ Of
Swedish interests will be searched on
the high seas or at some British port
Of call.
While the authorities were cxamn-
ing the effects Of Mr.. llenrichscn, the
baggage Of Miss Alma Simpson, folk
singer Of Seattle, was also searched and
several sheets Of numbers were taken
from her She explained that she had
been making a study Of the songs Of
the Argentine gauchos (cowboys) and
that the numerical notations which the
authorities believed to be code mes
sagcs were nothing more than her notes
of the cowboy music
"The boys of the pampas," said Miss
Simpson, "havc no idea Of how to put
their songs to music, the melodies
being carried entirely by ear"

Travis Sees Big Saving
In New Purchasing Bill
Adoption of Measure Will Mean
Millions to State, Says
Controller

ALBANY, Feb. 15.-The bill in the
Legislature last week for the estab-
lshment of state purchasing system
similar to that adopted by the Federal
government will be the means of saw
ing New York State millions Of dollars
annually ii it is adopted, according
to a statement issued to-day by Con-
troller Eugene NJ. Travis. The measure
aims at the elimination of waste and
duplication Of effort involved in the
present purchasing organization OF
the state. which includes 10 officials
"The present plan is fundamentally
wrong and against all principles un-
DERIVING all modern effective systems
for the purchase Of supplies" says Mr.
Travis '1he state government of New
York now purchases about s9,000.00C
worth of supplies through more thar
1c9 separate Offices. The result of this
grossly dcccntralizcd system is that
We find it buying from GO to 10 pei
cent of its supplies in the open market
which means it is paying retail prices
''lndictments may be brought agains,
the present system for practically
every step in the purchasing procedure
This arrangement includes organiza
ton, preparation of estimates, deter
mination of adaptability of supplies
tc be bought and lack of or inadequate
specifications.
"Thc best commercial experience
points to the central plan as the solu
tion of the problem. City and state
experience warrant the change The
burden of taxation is being felt more
and more and sound business pro
cedure should be demanded in oul
governmental units"

Percentage of Accidents
TO Flieys Is Remarkably
Lou, Says Chief Officer

WASHINGTON, Feb. l5.-In spite Of
the frequent fatal accidents at the
aviation training camps in the last
week, the War Department believes
the percentage is small, considering the
large number of students and the
amount of flying they are doing.
The acting Chief Signal Officer to-
night isucd this statement:
"Distressing though recent fatali-
ties in the aviation section of the Sig
nal Corps have been, the percentage of
casualties among our young aviators
is very low, considering the increase
in the number of mon flying each day.
The aviators at the Signal Corps train
lug schools are averaging about LOO
hours Of flying per day, which makes
Il distance of about 100000 miles flown
each day. This is equal to four trips
around the earth.
considering this amount of flying,
the percentage of fatal accidents is re-
marsablV low
