Grape Vines Produced
 Prodigally in 1922

Buffalo. Dec. a. Vineyards of the United States produced a bumper crop of grapes in 1922. Total car lot shipments from all sections up to and including November IT were 51,- 254 cars, an increase compared with 1921 of 14,053 cars, or about 34 Is per cent, according to a summary issued by the State Department of Farms and Markets.
 In the 51. .00o odd cars were a total of 1925, ,0S0,000 pounds of grapes, which would be sufficient to supply approximately 10 pounds of grapes to every individual in the United States. They were worth, at an av- craze price of 70 a ton, s35.s5O, 900.
 Two causes contributed to make the season profitable one for East ern grape growers. car shortage in the West cut California's normal shipments about 35 per cent, and there was an increased demand for private consumption and grape juice ma nufactur in the ESst- It also was a year of unprecedented yields in Eastern vineyards.

 His face is Frank, open, boyish.
 His hands are nervous, twitching- twitching because their owner is Just bebinning to realize the enormity of the crime they committed.
 'I never was in trouble before," he said, thinking back over many cheer near Morris. H., and of the four happy months with his young wife, the only girl I ever went with"

Eight Hundred Species
 of Fish in Japan

Tokfo. Dec. 22.-There are more than three times as many varieties of fish in Japan as in the waters surrounding Great Britain, Professor David Starr Jordon, president emer- itus of Leland Stanford, Jr., Univer- sity, told the Asiatic Society in a lec- ture. Eight hundred fishes now are known, divided into several groups, some of which are not native to these waters but are brought from other regions by ocean currents.
 Referring to the recent prohibition of the sale of fish owing to the chol- era epidemic, Professor Jordon de- c1ared cholera did not come from fish from the open sea but from those species that live along the coast and come in contact with poisonous re- fuse cast into the sea.
