tracts for two schooners for private
account had been cancelled by the
company after it obtained the gov
eminent contract but he denied that
all Of the materials which had been
ordered for those two vessels went

ASK GOVERNMENT AID
Competition Of Danish and German
Fishermen Bring Ruin to Many
Companies in England.

BY The Associated Press.
London, May 24.---"Unless govern
ment help comes quickly many of the
fishing companies of England will be
ruined" Is the opinion of the presi-
dent of a big steam trawler company
who is clamoring for protection. He
says it no longer pays to run British
trawlers because Of the competition Of
German and Danish trawlers.
German fishermen, he says, have re-
ceived such a hot reception In various
British ports that they no longer try
to dispose of their North Sea catches
in them. They now transfer the fish
TO Danish trawlers. and the Danish
trawlers take them to British ports.
The whole industry has been losing
money, he declares, for two years, and
unless something is done very soon
every British trawler will have to be
laid up.

PERFUME FOR PLANTS
Scent OF Flowers Transferred by
Grating Process; Scentless Flowers
Get Sweet Odors.

Paris, May 23.--Professor Daniel of
Rennes appears to have discovered a
process which will cause to come true
Shakespeare's verse: "A rose by any
other name would smell as sweet"
BY taking two plants Of the same
species and grating one on the other.
notably NORWOOD on chrysan-
themum. he found that not only the
grated NORWOOD developed remark
ably, but its flowers gave off a per-
fume much more powerful than that
of the original plant. Moreover, the
chrysanthemum had given to the
NORWOOD flower something of its
own scent Professor Daniel collect
ed the seeds of the grated worm
wood and the following year obtained
from them some very fine plants.
Some perfumed flowers were graft
ed on plants that heretofore had no
scent at all and the result has been
that the product of the grating smelt
like the original.
