 MASTERING A TRUST
 Some years ago a combination was formed of various companies which manufacture and marketing of this was of industrial importance. The capital was enlarged by millions and the parent corporation monopolized the manufacture and marketing of this commodity. The retaal prices were in- creased and the company was able to pay handsome dividends upon the greatly enlarged capital. Thereupon other capital undertook to establish new plants, capitalizing 6em at q relatively small figure so that 1t was
 
 prices and-pay a reasonable dividend upon the investment. The trust was in this way destroyed and the example which was set by those who under took this method of so-called trust busting" has been in other cases fol- lowed
 Whether it is true or not that there has been established among wholesale fish dealers in the east a trust which has constituted monopoly of the east ern markets, and has been able to maintain a very high price for fish, the fact is that private capital has undertaken to dominate the situation so as to break the so-called fish trust. if there be any, and to market fish at reasonable prices.
 Capital is doing this by highly per- fected modern machinery This ma chinery is installed upon swift ves- sels capable of weathering any storm upon the Atlantic. These vessels arc equipped with a great balloonlike net. Machinery drops the net into the ocean. machinery operates the vessel and also hauls the net to the deck of the vessel, then hand labor is required in order to ice the fish These nets will take in at one haul and in an hours time nearly 100000 pounds of fish. One of them came into New York a day or two ago with a cargo of several tons of fresh fish and there was great consternation and demoralzation among the leading wholesale fish dealers. The effect was similar to that which was caused when George w. Perkins bought several carloads of smelt from the fishermen of the Pa cific coast and caused the fish to be shipped to New York and then sold at a price within the reach of those of very modest incomes.
 The success of these fish trawlers demonstrates the magnitude of the food supply which is to be found in the ocean and especially off the Great Banks. The ocean there literally teens with food fish of great value and it may be that the venture of private capital through the utilization of ma chinery will serve to supply the peo pie of the Atlantic, coast and of the in- terior with plentiful supplies of food fish at reasonable prices and this may have some effect in reducing the mar ket price of certain meats.

way to get a transfer inside year or so was by going direct to my general l was almost certain that he would re- fuse me permission to transfer, so you may imagine that I was agreeably sur prised when he said, without raising his eyes from a paper before him, Sur, exchange, go anywhere you dam please young man.
 "So, a few days later I found myself in England with a bunch of novices like myself. Ignorant but eager to learn the tricks of the trade We were sent to the training field on Salisbury plain. and the first day I, with five others, were sent out to neighboring hills to learn how to transmit messages by code from one place to another
 After we had stood around and talked for about an hour, someone suggested that we take nap, so we slept the rest of the day And we did this for about two weeks You may be sure that by then I was entranced with the service.
 But I received adviees from France that one of my best pals had been shoe down and killed in battle, and l at once wanted to go over and take a shot al the Huns on my own account. l learned the quickest way to get over was to pe- come an observation balloonist, and immediately enrolled in that class.
 DETAILED AS INSTRUCTOR
 "In two weeks I had graduated at the head of my class, and was con graduating myself on a speedy trip across the channel and into the flght- ing when the commanding officer came to me and. after praising me- said: The one who graduates at the head of the class is always detaied as instructor to beginners I groaned inwardly.
 T would have been an instruct&r to this day. I believe, had it not been for a certain regulation of the Brit ish army. This is, that no officer snai' drive a car. One day I was driving car along the road at the rate of four miles per hour, when I ran head.on into huge lorry that was coming straight into me, and both the ma chimes were so damaged that they had to be scrapped
 ''Wen, at the court-martial my form CT good conduct and the fact that was driving at four miles per hour saved me from discharge from the service, and the officer said he would punish me lightly. 1 was relieved or my position as instructor and ordered to France, winking with the other eye as he pronounced sentence.
 'I was greatly disappointed upon my arrival. though, to find that we were excluded from the battle zone for 14 days, to do nothing but practice. But we did not let this order deter us, and at the end of the IA days our squadron had 14 official victories to its credit.

 IN HIS LAST BATTLE
Large Audience Greets the Worlds Greatest Ace, Who
 Tells Story of Exploits.

Col. w. A. Bishop of Canada, mem- Der of the British Royal Flying corps, and universally conceded the ace of aces, lectured to a large and appreciative audience last night at the Jefferson theatre on Air Fighting in Flanders Fields" The last half of the lecture was illustrated with slides, many of them official photographs of positions and emplacements.
 Colonel Bishops talk, as is his manner and bearing, was very straightforward and earnest, and his whole lecture plain, unadorned tale of how he entered the flying corps, went over. and parti- cipated in over POO aircraft battles. gain ing credit for destroying 72 German planes with official confirmation.
 T first entered the cavalry" said Colonel Bishop, but the work there is very, very strenuous, and I had always had a great ambition to fly. So, when we arrived overseas andrI had watched the great battle planes skimming along gainst the clouds, and settling gracefully to the ground after a long run, and pos sibly thrilling fight, I felt mere than ever that my place was on the pilot seat of a HandleyPage or a Camel doing battle with German airmen.

TRICKS OF HEINIE

"One of the favorite tricks or Heinis was to send out a decoy plane, very small biplane, with lots of speed, which would lead one of our planes far over the German lines, where two battle planes would rise from the rear and attack us. Another method much in favor was to send up fake observa- tion balloon, sometimes filled with ex- plosives, which, when our ship hit IL, would explode and shatter it. Or they would have the position of the balloon charted and have anti-aircraft guns trained on the spot.
 "In my last battle one foggy morn ing I set out from the hangar and flew over the German lines con- siderable distance, when I saw three German planes coming at me. l shot down the leader from the simple fact that my gun happened to be shooting when he got directly in front of it, and the next plane, becoming fright ened. swerved around and struck its companion head-on, shattering both got two more ON the way back to my hangar and considered myself as hav- ing done fair days work, considering that it was Sunday.
