PEAK OF IDLENESS
HAS PASSED HERE.
Unemployment Among Fac
tory Hands Has Decreased
Third in Three Months.
INDUSTRIES ENLARGING
Brighter Outlook All Along
Line Reported to Mer-
chants Association.

The peak of unemployment in New
reports made late In March to the indus
trial bureau of the Merchants Associa-
ton. The bureau believes the number
of the jobless among factory operatives
has decreased about one-third in the last
three months and that the total number
employed is now more than 100000, as
against $4,000 on January l, 1921, and
765.000 on January /, 1920.
Some of the city's leading industries
have appreciably enlarged their opera
tions, the Merchants Association says.
Those which have definitely advanced
since January / are lumber, woodwork
Ing, higher grades Of furniture machin-
cry, automobile accessories. metal stamp
ing and certain metal specialties, furs.
textiles, shoes. food products. confec-
tionery. cigarettes. smoking tobacco and
chemicals and allied products. In some
cases, as In the fur industry and needles
trades. the increase is seasonal.
Industries which have suffered declines
include jewelry. shipbuilding, cigars,
printing and paper iron foundries and
forge shops. Leather. tanning and man
ufacturing, and the piano industry have
seen little change since New Years.
In the textile industry, the manufac-
ture Of mems shirts has picked UP re-
markedly, the unions having accepted
reduction of wages, so that 95 per cent
of the workers are employed, whereas on
January virtually nobody was working.
Mems and boys clothing Is still tied up
by strike There Is Improvement in
the situation as regards women's wear.
and 1t is predicted the fall season will be
normal. But cloak and suit retailers are
demanding goods at prices which the
wholesalers say they can't meet with
present labor costs.
In the leather market prices of hides
have gone steadily downward until they
are now below pre-war levels, and even
so the demand is dull. except for calf
skins. The reason for the exception Is
the doubled production Of speciality shoes
in the last few months.

RESEARCH BEGINS
 FOR ANAESTHETIC
National Society Is Cooperating
 With Army Doctors

Columbus, O.. June 10.-The Unit cd States Government, through the office of the Surgeon General of the War Department, has presented to the National Anaesthesia Research So- city, whose headquarters are in this city. an opportunity for S~rtat mem bers consider is probably tine greatest service that has come to it since its organization.
 The War Department because of the comment made about the use of a mixture of ether. ethyl chloride and chIoroform in field operations in the \. r.. r. and because this department is making researches in anaesthesia pertaining to such operations. has asked the National Research Society tc take up the subject. and submit the data to the surgeon general.
 The War Department believes a gem eraI anaesthetic can be developed which will produce complete anaes- thesia within a few seconds and still have ail the advantages of ether. On the basis of the recent field exper- fence. and the severe comment arous- cd by the use of the above mention mixture. the Government is asking the
New Britain herald., 1921-06-10

Research Society the following five questions:
 "Is there a need for an aesthetic of quicker action and more lasting qualities than the mixture employed in the \. F.. r. operations? To what extent was Nitrous-Oxide Oxygen Anaesthesia or any modification there of used in the A. E. F. in France? Is tho Nitrous Oxide Oxygen method reasonably safe. practicable, rapid and economical? Is there a combination that would better meet the need of such an anaesthetic, if the need ex- ists? Should the suggestion be ex- perimented with further, and if so. within what agency?"

CATCHING SHARKS
 BECOMES BUSINESS
Used Extensively in Manufacture
 of Hides

Victoria, June 1O.-With the supply of rawi material unlimited, an industry new to this country is flourishing at Parker Island, between Galiano and Mayne Islands on the Gulf of Georgia. It is the business of catching sharps, and weeks catch at the beginning of May ran to eighty, with an average weight of over ton each. Mir. Nel- son Macdonald of this city, who oper ated the first shark-catching machinery on the island, declares there will never be shortage as there are millions in the waters surrounding the island. Tn fact the further north you go the more sharks you will find and from here to Alaska are their feeding grounds" MT. Macdonald said. Taking them from the bottom of the sea is automatic. Norway has a hundred of such indus tries. The only real hook for catching them, which works on a swivel, comes from there and the so-called cod-liver oil, which invades the markets of the world, is really shark liver oil, manu- factured in Norway
 Nothing is wanted in a shark plant. There is finer fiSh-meat than that made from the bodies of the sharks. AS a fertilizer it is superior to dog fish. The head of the shark is full of glue of a highly valuable quality and the fins are a much prized Chinese food deli cacy, Orientals here paying as much as s pound for it. The liver content runs from 60 to 70 per cent. of finest oil of which about 10 per cent. is glycer- inc. Sharks teeth are in demand in many parts of the world and fetch a high price for the manufacture of orna- ments. What bones there are, and they are few, go into the fertilizer part of the industry.
 The greatest interest in this new in dustry is being manifested in the man. ufacture of hides. Several American companies have been formed and much research work is being done at pres ent. The shark hides run from an inch in thickness to the consistency of paper in the baby shark. In Seattle they are manufacturing hip-boots from shark hides and they are declared to be com- pletely waterproof.
