Plenty Of Fish.

Now that we are hearing SO much
of the rapidly approaching end of the
earths coal supply, the earth's oil sup
ply and various other supplies, 1t Is
comforting to realize that at least one
of the greatest food factors is safe
fish.
Even the intensive fishing that was
carried on around Britain's coasts in
prewar days made no impression on
the oceans boundless store. Some
years ago the board Of agriculture, as
they call the authorities that look after
the fishing interests of the old country,
tested the extent Of the fishing opera
lions in the North sea. Bottles were
set adrift and 1t was found that over
half OF them were captured. Marked
fish were next tried and gave almost a
similar result. This seemed to indicate
a rather poor outlook for the fish, but
such Is the productive capacity of the
female fish there Is no danger of even
such vigorous fishing having any seri-
GUS effect.-BrOoklyn Eagle.
