WHEN is A "SARDINE?"
So Often 1t Proves to BE a Herring
International Contest on Question

What is sardine? Think before
you answer.
Time was when you could call sar-
dine "some kind of fish" right to it's
face and get away with it, but that day
is past. International relations are now
| involved. and nothing short of world
conference to determine the status of
the sardine of commerce seems likely to
| relieve the present tension.
The situation grows daily more
alarming. Notes are being exchanged.
| Within the last few days no less con-
sentative organ than the Journal of
| Commerce has been obliged to give space
to diplomatic exchanges on the subject.
| From these it appears that no two sar-
dine producing nations agree as to what
a sardne is. This is the crux of the
matter.
Norway contends that the bristling,
mussa and slid are all entitled to rank
as grade. A sardines, whereas France
and Spain maintain stoutly that the
only genuine sardines are the sprat,
chinchard and pilchard. England swears
| by the sprat, Japan proclaims its faith
in the pigmy behring's of the Pacific.
| California is ready to take up arms in
defense of its own pet pilchard, while
Maine will have nothing to do with any
variety but the baby herrings found off
her rock-ribbed coast.
Guiglia Trentino started the whole
trouble 80 years ago by putting up the
first batch of small fry done in oil and
selecting the Island of Sardinia for the
epoch making operation. Ever since
then every time anybody packed dozen
or so baby fish into a tin can and at
tached unavoidable opener to it he
has labelled his product sardnes. in
honor of the place where the first batch
came from.
During the war, it appears, the status
of the sardine was settled legally by a
court decision in England. In this dec-
sion France won over NOrway-but the
Norwegians now contend that the de-
cisiOn was influenced by the fact that
France and England were allies and
could not afford to fall out over a mat
ter of fish. Which sounds like good rea-
soning.
At any rate, the old fires are faring
up anew, and the question as to what
a sardine is is again before the court
of public opinion. If you think you can
answer it, go ahead Better men than
you have tried and failed.-New York
Evening Post

CARP, FROG, CAT AND CHEF.
Tragedy that Aeitated Competent Bel
gian Cook.

An entertaining story of fish. a frog
and a tiger cato say nothing of the
cook-in which the writer tells how he
incurred the blazing wrath of both cat
and cook, is contained in the columns of
recent issue of London daily.
The traveller recounts with some sat
isfaction the fact that for the sum of
80 francs week or 100 francs a month,
the countless trout. CRAWLING, perch, pike,
roach and dace swimming in the river
flowing before the door of his inn at
Houyet are all candidates for place in
his fishing basket. For the sum mem
toned he purchases permit which
makes one free to fish throughout the
domaine rationale" which extends for
many miles along the rivers banks. He
reports the party getting fair baskets
of trout, the smallest fish weighing a
quarter of a pound, and some being real
large ones. Salmon and salmon trout
are taken little lower down the river
Having eaten some of this salmon
cooked Belgian fashion, he says there is
nothing more delectable than the Belgian
method of cooking fish, and for that mat
ter, flesh and fowl, in butter. The chef
when listening to the guests favorable
comments, merely said: 'To fry in fat
of pig. or OK, or sheep-what ruin foI
the interior ~
But the correspondent reports that
his most curious catch was not from the
river but from the tank at the end OF
the inns back garden, tank about Il
yards square at the edge of which or
most days the local laundress kneels
rinsing clothes.
Yesterday morning." he writes, ''sht
was absent. but her place was taken by
large tiger-striped cat, who was
crOuching on the edge of the tank, his
