"7 ASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-The
IWI man who fed the world dur
Ill ing the war has begun to
worry about food supplies for the
United States in future years of
war or peace.
A serious condition confronts this
country unless coast fisheries are re-
/ rlenished and preserved. Secretary
/ Of Commerce Herbert Hoover says.
The fisheries he rates most pre-
cious of our primary food supplies,
T since agricultural expansion is rapid
/ " approaching its limit, while the
population will double in years to
come.
THE restoration of a single great
/ fishery is more important to the
American people in production ana
/ livelihood than half a dozen land
! reclamation schemes" Hoover said.
addressing the annual convention OF
/ the United States Fisheries Associ-
alton recently.
States Have Control
Control over coastal and inland
fishing is vested in State authorities,
so Hoovers plan to assure future
fish supplies calls for organization
of State leagues similar to that or
/ ganized in the Southwest under the
Colorado River compact.
/ The problems of fish conservation
/ are never confined to any one State.
| but to a group of States having the
same species in their waters.
Accordingly. Hoover announces
that he will call a series of confer
ences this winter, summoning State
authorities TO Washington to for1nu-
late plans for such leagues.
The graveness of the problem Is
shown by these figures, quoted from
| Hoover:
Salmon has completely disap-
peared from the Atlantic coast. and
has been depleted one-hah on the
| Pacific coast.
Sturgeon Fishing Declines
Sturgeon fisheries Of the Great
Lakes declined 9S per cent in the
past forty eight years. Shad fisher
les of the Atlantic coast have de-
creased 20 per. cent. On the At
lantic the crab yield is one-haf less
since 1915. The oyster yield has
| decreased one-h half in twenty years.
/ The lobster catch is less than one
third that Of thirty years ago.
Hoover points out that although
the gross value of fish products
| has shown an annual increase, this
has been achieved by increased
prices, increased numbers Of fisher
men and a great increase in the
proportion of deep-sea fish being
caught.
The last Congress passed legis-
lation to control oil pollution Of
coastal waters, passed the Alaskan
salmon conservation bill and the
Upper Mississippi fish and game
refuge bill, and enacted a treaty
with Canada to conserve Pacific
coast halibut.
When the States have leagued to-
gether to bring about further con-
servation, Hoover proposes that the
Federal Government shall aid with
technical and scientific information.

DOrOthy's Decision

In the months since she had heard
the first news of her husbands death

thy's home in the South. Ivan had
tried hard to make her forget her
loss, ignoring the clamoring public
to be with her, heedful of her every
wish showering her with princely
attentions. Meanwhile he wooed her
with that Incompatible finesse that
is the peculiar gift of the eastern
peoples.
He never let her forget his suit,
one moment in an hour He played
to her, he brought her gifts, price
less but always in perfect TASTE
curios out of the East, rare works
of art from his own ancestral castle
in the Urals. In her warmer moods
he urged immediate marriage, and
when she was cool and unresponsive
he begged for her promise of future
surrender to him, whom time had
healed the wound of Peters loss.
One night in the second year he
had brought her a marvellous blue
diamond-a priceless thing with a
sinister history-and he had wanted
her to take it as a symbol of engage
ment; and that night she had been
strangely, deeply afraid of him. She
had let the stone gather fire to her
hand, and when she had taken it off
and put it in his palm 1t was as if its
cruel hard, malevolently beautiful
light had passed to his thin face.
Keep it a while, IVAN" she told
him. Sometime I would be proud
to wear it-but not yet"
She had drawn back from him.

she could so dimly read in his strik-
a splendid tiger to her; tonight he
suggested the same jungle monarch

She had gone into subdued mourn
ing, but still saw a few friends and
visited a few of the neighboring
homes; and now, as another Georgia
summer was at its height, he plead
ed with her to go back to the gay
colors that he loved. He seemed to
feel that when her old gaiety re-
turned to her, when she again took
her place in the smart southern So
ciety, his long courtship would be
crowned with success. But he did
not at once win this point, and be-
cause she did not fully understand it
herself, she was scarcely able to ex-
plain to him the curious way. she
felt about it. 81 can't be the girl
