DOG FISH OIL IS
 NEW INDUSTRY
 ON LARGE SCALE

VICTORIA, B. C., Oct. 12.-Manufac. ture of dog fish oil on a large scale is planned by British Columbia in terests, according to a recent report to the parliamentary fisheries con- mission by A. T. Hankey, barrister of Victoria
 Mir Hankey stated that it would be necessary to use fish traps to make the catches in paying quantities and considered it advisable to ascertain the attitude of the commission regard ing the use of traps before starting operations. The salmon industry in northern waters has suffered consid- erably from the use of traps and at present they are in great disfavor with governmental authorities, say local fishermen.
 According to MT. Hankey, all ar engagements have been made and if permission is given for the use of the traps the new industry will com mence operations on the Queen Char lotte islands, on Skidegate Inlet, with one plant. employing about 200 men.

MASK FOR ENGINE GASES

, WASHINGTON, Oct. II. - Expert ments in various types of gas masks for trainmen working in poorly venti- Hated tunnels where smoke and gases from the engine collect, have resulted in the development of small pocket canister type of mask which the Unit ed States Bureau of Mines declares is suited for this work.
 Many workmen and trainmen have been overcome by the gases cast off in the smoke locomotives in such tun- nels. Experiments with the army type of masks proved these were too bulky :and this resulted in the development of the smaller mask which government officials and trainmdn declare has , been a success. The mask is filled with an absorbent mixture of activated charcoal and soda-lime, and contains filters of toweling. It is designed to retain its effectiveness for months.
