TO Save FISH
ALONG COAST
Pollution of Water and Catching
in Nets Is Cause of Serious
Condition.
NEW JERSEY STARTS MOVE
Experienced Fishermen Say That Sup
ply Of Migratory Fish Has Been
Seriously DepIeted-other Sea-
board States Are Sufferers.

Newark, N. IA movement has
been started In New Jersey to save
from exterminatlon the migratory fish
which spawn In one place and move
along the Atlantic coast with the
changing of the seasOnS-such az
mackerel, menhaden, herring and nu-
merous other varieties peculiar to GER
tain localities on this coast. Expert
enced fishermen declare that the sup
ply Of these migratory fish has been
seriously depleted by the pollution of
the areas in which they spawn and by
the reckless manner In which they
have been caught In nets.
The method proposed by the New
Jersey Fish and Game Conservation
league to prevent from determination
If to induce the United States govern
ment to take control of and regulate
the catching Of these fish and stop pol
luton Of the spawning areas. 1t is
contended that only In this way can
the increasing cost Of fish food to the
consumer be checked or reduced.
Four Fundamental Points.
The four fundamental points In the
New Jersey leagues proposal for ma
tional legislation are:
Protect spawning areas against poll
luton.
Prevent fishing In spawning areas.
Regulate the size of the meshes Of
nets so the immature fish cannot be
caught.
Protect the natural food supply of
eatable fishes.
The fourth point has to do with one
OF the most perplexing phases Of the
salt water problem-the matter of the
menhaden industry. The menhaden,
otherwise known as mossbunker, which
once swarmed along the coast in meal.
culable numbers, attracting hordes of
edible fishes that preyed on them, have
been slaughtered right and left to pro-
duce oil and fertilizer. In the view Of
experts their end is not far of, and
with their passing will disappear from
Atlantic coastal waters many of such
edible species as now remain.
Fisheries Board Breaks Down.
Efforts to cope with the problem
through state regulation here have
failed utterly, the last straw being the
complete breakdown of the state board
OF fisheries, which had been created
by legislative enactment with view to
increasing the supply of food fishes and
reducing the cost to the consumers.
The five members of the board resigned
In body In July, 1919, and there have
been no reappointments.
Investigation by committee of vet
eran coast men disclosed an equally
dcplorable condition. II is said, In 9th
er seaboard states. 1t was learned, also.
that fisheries officials of Connecticut
and Maryland agreed with those Of
New Jersey that federal law was the
only remedy.

use of drugs has increased here in

of the drug addicts are turning to-

by this type of addict.
THE morphine user is less harm

the fact that, If morphine is not pro-
durable. then cocaine or heroin may
be used. and the effect is so extreme
that crime of despicable type may be
committed while under the urge of

practically all paid murderers are re-
cruited from the snow BIRDS as they
are called. Fortunately for this city.
the addicts are mostly morphine
users, and although their mental fibre
is rotten. after years of the stuff they
are not as dangerous and have a bet
ter chance for cure under right con-
ditions than have heroin snuffers or
