SALMON MAY RUN AGAIN
 IN NEW ENGLAND STREAMS

Appearance Of Pacific salmon in
 three rivers in Maine this season has led 10 the hope that New England
 streams may again be tee-ning with
 fish. Young fry planted in the Pencb-
 scot, Denny's and Pembroke river sev
 eraI years ago returned full grown,
 this fall, to spawn.
 Salmon were once as plentiful in
 every river from Connecticut to the St.
 Lawrence as they are today in the West. but in one stream after annth- CT the annual runs" of these fsi, were wiped out by construction of dams which kept them from reaching snawning ground in upper tributaries The same cause together with poi'I- ton of the water has almost annihii- ated salmon in q number of Pacific streams. but regulations restricting the dumping of refuse and providing for spiIlways or fish ladders" over dams will. it is hoped, prevent further de- struction of this valuable food re- source.
 Protected by having the road to spawning grounds clear the salmon can take care of itself. for these fish are four years old when they enter a stream and have spent over three and a half years at sea in "catch as catch can" existence against all com | CTS. Where the salmon spends ita time at sea is one of the mysteries of the deep for it has never been caught except when nature. Once in

 About 45,900 wage -earners in the

 jan government to take a similar step If these 145.600 are driven out oi

fresh water it forces it's way up the stream to small ponds and shallow creeks, spawns and dies. The deadly effect of & dam on future generations lies in the fact that a salmon once on it's way up stream never quits, but keeps trying to leap the dam until exhausted it spawns in deep water and the eggs are lost. If successful in reaching the spawning ground the eggs laid by the salmon hatch in a few weeks and the following spring the young fry make their way to the sea, returning again in four years to complete the cycle.
 Only one of the several varieties of Pacific salmon have been introduced in eastern streams; the ''humpback," so-called because of a hump on it's back which increases in size as it hears the period of spawning. The fry of other varieties are shipped east and marketed.
 Owing to the short fishing season
 between the arrival of salmon in cos
 tai waters and the spawning period, only limited quantities of these fish are offered for winter use, making them available during all the months between runs. In using chilled salmon care should be taken to defrost the fish before subjecting it to heat. The best way to do this is by placing the fish in 8 cold place. just above rreen. ! ing. or in cold water until defrosted. 1 To place chilled fish near heat or at tempt to cook it before defrosting causes salmon to loose the flavor for which it is unique.
 l The value in increased food resourc-
 es by restocking eastern streams with salmon can be realized by considering the industry ss conducted in Oregon
 and Washington where, in addition to fish shipped fresh or chilled, over l.,
 500, 900 cases were canned during 1915

SELF RULE FOR IRELAND.

To Lloyd George, from all indica- tions, there will he no surprise at the irtimations to tho effect that Ireland will not favor the home rule measure which he has proposed. He under stands the situation in the Emerald Isle. He knows what difficulties have been encountered in the past in en- deav0ring to reach an agreement on legislation that would satisfy and he hasn't in all prcba htlity fooled himself in the belief that the plan is going to be jumped at ss hungry fish darts for the bait.
 The idea is advlnced apparently with the view to overcoming as far as is possible at this time the discon- tent that Is giving way to manifesto tions of trouble for the premier de- clared that he kEsw of nothing that would conform to British opinion that Ireland would accept. In fact it is well known that Ireland is divided in it's own ideas for what is acceptable to the south is not to the north and vice versa.
 The plan of providing Ireland with two legislatures one for each section, which would have control of Irish af : fairs without separation and with cer- tain matters still directed by the British parliament shows different attitude toward Ireland than has been manifested in previous years. Even the self control that would be provided would be increased as time went on and 1t was shown that the Irish were able to compose their differences. The two legislatures would be merged in- to one as soon as the two sections could agree, Ireland would take care of its own affairs and much that is objectionable ntw would be elimi- mated.
 Even though tha prime minister has elhphatically stated that the idea of a sepnYation of Ireland from the British empire cannot be accepted there is no indication that the Irish are dis posed to accept the homo rule bill even if it is adopted. Influences al work, however, may cause it to be re. alized that half loaf is better thar nothing.

SUGAR FOR EUROPE.

Some reason for part Of the sugar shortage in this country, aside from the increased Use of it because of pro- hiDttlon, can no doubt be attributed to the large amount that has been sent to Europe When it is reported that there were 1900 50Q 600 pounds sent abroad in the last ten months it eRn be appreciated that very good use Of such sweetness could have been made right here.
 At the samc lime it is impossible to overlook the reason for such ship ments. Sugar production being knock ed out practically ia Europe, where countries among the allies during some Of tEe time were on very low ra.ions if not out entirely, arrangement was made whereby certain amount of the Cuban crop should be distributed among our allies and it is in accord with the agreement relative to sugar, as in regard to other foodstuffs, that these shipments were continued. The sllgar was li.'h;.eht to this eoLutry fes the purpose oi refining it, otherwise the shipments 3ieuid have ,,aen made from Cuba rather than this country ard 1t appears that except for wha; is said to have been an error on the part of the sugar board Europe re- ceived nc moro than it's agreement called for. It was case of helpine Europe out of what would ordinarii, have been q b0untiful supply here. We kept the European countries ou | of the Cuban market because of tn, arrangement and it was desired to dt so again when authority was sough i by the board last summer to acquir, tho Cuban crop. When the presiden failed to follow the tcard's recon Tnerdations European countries begal to buy. The market was boosted an,
 instead oi being able to buy the ray
 sugar al a reasonable price it is nex
 10 impossible today and the result i
 the new crop even under the contin
 ued control is going to cost mscl
 more than it should.
 The cause fer regret .s not so mucl
 that We heIred cut Europe as th
 short sightedness at home.

 t'Why, becaiise-because-" the young chap hung his head. He said we should have gentleman for captain, not the son of divorced par ents."
 ''But your parents are not divorce ed" thundered his father.
 NO, Dad. but it's about the same thing. We live in one house and Gee, Dad, you're good sport all right, but my mother-she's all right, tool" he ffnshed defiantly, "and I licked Jackson good and plenty. He has two black eyes.
 Doctor Bradford looked earnestly at his twelve-year- son. Gerald, are you happy with u1e?'' Sure, Dad"
 Would you be happier with your
 mother, Jerry?'
 Cant I have both, Dad ?" Doctor Bradford was almost hidden in the depths os his great easy chair. 1 One white hand covered his face. His son could not see the trembling ot l the usually firm lips. As his question remained unanswer- ! ed the boy glanced toward his father 1 and said: ''Of course you know Tin game. Dad. Mother has Dolly. I'll stand by you; but at the same time 1 Governor, you must admit that moth- l er--oh! mother is peach!" With a sudden catch in his voice the boy turned toward the door waiting at the threshold for some word from his father. 1 Raising his head and meeting his sons eyes. he answered:- ] Jerry, your mother is a peach. And l T Q m y1a0t hoJ he ar 1 have asked you not to go to her and you have kept your werd-like a Bradford! I am proud of my son." Then, quickly changing the tone oi his voice, he cried: Hurry, Jerry we must dress for dinner. We are late now.'
 1 With a strange look upon his flush. ed face, Gerald Bradford walked slow. :, ly along the corridor until he reached his own rooms. Entering his dressing
 room, he mechanically prepared ths tub for his bath. Suddenly, with q look of determination upon his face he turned off the water and strodt

JERRY'S CHRISTMAS EVE


 Doctor Bradford paced restlessly back and forth in his library. His face would have been handsome if it were not for the habitual look of dis content that marred the beauty Of his eyes and mouth.
 A vigorous peal of the cafl-bell up- on his desk, immediately brought a white capped maid who stood at re- spectful distance from the master of Bradford Hall.
 Has Master Gerald returned from school
 ''No sir, he is a little late, butt
 ..Was he not told to come home to- day immediately after the close of school ''
 q think so, sir"
 t'You think so? Do you not know? ?"
 ''Yes sir, he was, but perhaps"
 "Silence. You are to answer my questions. You are called for that purpose. not to make excuses for my son. You may got"
 ''Yes sir" murmured the girl with flushing. cheeks, as she retreated to- wards the door. "Stay Mollie. Here is something to get you a new apron and a crisp baak nute was tucked into the tiny
 
 ~Wfhat beastiy temper I have!" rluttered the doctor as the grateful maids footsteps died away down the halI. Its a good thing the servants understand me or I'd have to wait up- on myself"
 Glancing at his watch, Doctor Bradford resumed his restless pacing pausing at the great tower window tC mutter: Where is that boy?" The banging of the great hall door the clattering of heavy shoes up the broad oalEen stairs, announced the entrance of the son of the celebrated Doctor Bradford. A flushed, dirt -begrined face ap- peared at the door. A broad smile l revealing two rows of shining teett suffused the handsome boyish face as he saw the look that overspread tht fathers countenance as he looked ai him.

PREVENTABLE DEATHS IN
 COTTON MANUF'ING INDUSTRY

From an industrial standpoint, death at less than old age means 8 fixed and definite loss; the worker has at each age a certain expectancy of life. vary ing according to certain factors, but still definitely calculable, which rnaKes his death the loss of. so much potential industrial activity, In Bulletin No. 251, entitled "Preventable Death in the Cotton Manufacturing Industry" just issued by the bureau of labor statistics Of the U. $. department Of labor, is shown the real death hazard, by age groups, for wage earners. especially for those engaged in the several processes cS cotton cloth nlanuf2 cture, and also what factors have been especially ac- tive in cutting off the lives of wage earners during age periods which are normally of greatest productive activ- ity.
 In this report. which is supplement tary to an earlier report upon lhe sub iect, the death hazard, by age. sex and race, of the entire operative population of Fall River. the leading cotton man. ufacturing city in the United States, is entrusted with the corresponding haz- ard Of the non-mill operatives ol the l city, for the five years. 1908 to 1912 i inclusive, and a study is made of tht l death rates of workers in the Gifferen i rooms within the cotton mill, i. C., lRs 1 card room. spinning room, spoole; room and weave room.
 By a comparison of death rates b, sex, Of the whole Fall River population aged 15 to A. it is shown that female l have appreciably the higher deati hazard. From tuberculosis, their deatl rate exceeds that of the males by per cent. from non-t -tuber 'llous cause by per cent and from all cause combined by s per cent. Yet while thi
 is true Of the population as a whole, q
 is untrue or that portion tf it (61 pc

 14 per cent.
 The total death hazard of the nativ

 between the death rates being siiRh hoWever-less than l per cent. Tn Irish and French Canadians show tn

 causes. than the single. while anon the males the single are almost invarl
 ably far more liable to die early tila .

are the married of the same age.
 Fall River cotton operatives between ! the ages of 15 and A are about one half (46 per cent) more liable to die, from all hazards combined, than are non-mill operatives of the same age, their hazard from tuberculosis being 100 per cent. and from all non-tuber- culous causes of death 20 per cent. greater than the hazard of all other persons As to workroom hazard it appears that the spinning and weave rooms are the two WorkroonS showing the greatest peril for male workers, the death rates, both of single and married men, from all causes being greater than the corresponding rates of non- mill operatives. For both single and married females the spinning room is the room of greatest peril, a fact which
 is important because the spinning room females are youthful group. TO per cent. being under 25.
 Within industrial groups tuberculosis is by far the con1monest single cause
 of death. the tuberculous deaths being
 45 per cent. of the total deaths, both of naie and of female operatives aged 10 to A. The death rate from tuberculosis among female operatives. however. is higher by S5 Der cent. than that among male operatives.

 Because of the popular concern al
 the present time as to the subject of
 prohibition. the facts shown in the re- port as to the prevalence of alcoholic i addiction as a contributory cause or death among the male population. aged 1 20 to fl years, Of Fall River are inter esting. Tn this group deaths with al-o- l hoiic complications form a more iE1- l portant part of the mortality from tuberculosis than that from all earses being responsible for A per cent of the first against 9e per cent. Of the second. Among operatives alcoholic addiction appears as a complication of deaths from tuberculosis more freGuently hy 41 per cent. than anlorg ncn-cnera z tives. From the raoiditv with whir'
