OF FISH
AS FOOD is FEARED
BY THE GOVERNM ENT
STATES MUST COOPERATE OR
EXTINCTION WILL RESULT,
WARNS MR.. HOOVER.
10 STATES HOLD CONFERENCE
Trying to Find a Way to Throw a
Life Line to Fish of United States.
Catch of Chief Species Decreasing
Millions of Pounds Every Year.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The sea
is about to rewrite a tragedy of earth
and air. The fate that was the buffa-
los and the wild pigeons awaits the
fish-at least the shad, the sturgeon,
the lobster and long line OF their
kin. Inadequately protected, these den
liens of the deep are on their way,
via the route of human consumption,
into the limbo of things extinct.
So says the government OF the
United States. AS earnest of its belief
there has just concluded one OF the
most remarkable conventions ever
held under official auspices in Wash
ington. This was a meeting of repre-
sentatives of 10 states, brought to-
gether by Secretary. Hoover, to find
way to throw a lifeline to the fish.
Fishless Fridays are not remote, in
the opinion of this gathering, unless
something is done, and done soon, to
safeguard the chief food fish of the
nation. The problem is recognized as
local rather than federal affair.
But heretofore local laws have failed
of this purpose, largely because they
applied only to local waters-a fish
knows no such thing as a state line
and were not properly co-ordinated.
HOLSTERS Disappearing.
Under local regulations, for in
stance, the lobster catch has fallen
from 30000,000 pounds in 1889 to TO-,
100000 pounds in 1919, and still fur
Their thereafter. The shad catch, SINH
lar1y protected" has dropped from
50,000,000 pounds in 1896 to scant
15,O00.0O0 in 1923. The sturgeon, al
most extinct, has furnished but l,l64,
900 pounds of food annually in recent
years, as compared with nearly 49,
100000 in 1890. The crab, likewise, is
crawling slowly to extinction.
Deep concern is felt by the fish in
dustry as a result OF this relentless
trend downward in the available sup
ply of the chief species. The entire
industry faces the almost certain pros
pect of having no fish to sell within
relatively short time unles proper
and adequate methods of protection
are undertaken and applied.
"We must do something definite and
real" Secretary Hoover told the gath
ering, ito save certain of our Atlantic
coast fisheries from final destruction

cit can be done This administra
ton has succeeded in action which has
saved the Alaskan salmon fisheries
the northwestern halibut fisheries and
other fisheries from total destruction

cries on the way to recovery.
"The difficulty OF the Atlantic sea
board rests with the divided authority
as between the states. No one state
of its own action can give adequate
protection to any single one of oul
Atlantic coast species"

effect, novasurol should be applied, the
professor said. 1t is not exactly known
why it yields such surprising results
in SO many different cases which have
little or nothing in common. and there
are several theories offered in explana-
ton.
1t has been observed that novasurol
has stronger diuretic qualities than
any other known preparation, and it
is, therefore, thought that it frees the

In most cases of obesity so per cent
of the fat consist of water and salt,
and drainage OF the body combined
with a saltless diet is therefore an adj
visable treatment.
Application of the new remedy is
not without dangers, Professor Eppin-
ger stated. Like most other mercury
preparations, it must be employed
very cautiously But if the cure is
made under careful and expert medical
supervision it can be undertskn by the
majority OF obese persons without

The aphidozer, agriculture's newest
mechanical policeman, was recently
perfected by T. M. Searls, of Wash
ington. 1t is a pea louise catcher. AS
many as II pounds of the obnoxious
lice have been caught on two and one
half acres with this efficient device.
The pea louise, or pea aphis, is crop
pirate that has resisted the use OF
all chemical sprays and poisons which
have been applied to the pea plants.
In Wisconsin, where more than one
half of Americas annual pea crop is
produced, the damage by the pea louise
is very heavy.
The aphidozer is a horse-drawn,
low-set device equipped with a series

OF rotating paddles rugged up like the
reel OF the ordinary grain bindery. The
mechanical trap is driven across the
infected pea fields so that the revolv-
ing paddles brush the pea lice from
the plants into a canvass trap at the
bottom of the mechanism.
In the experimental tests the new
aphidozer collected as high as 50 per
cent of the lice in an infested field in
single operation. Running the ma
chine over the field a second time
would catch the balance of the pests.
The machine is inexpensive to oper-
ate. The average farmer can build an
aphidozer from the odds and ends
among his discarded farm implements.

Joe Harris Brings Joy to the
Heart of Griffmen's
Leader
By LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

ST. LOUIS, May 14.-Now to
get the jump on the pesky Browns.
Stanley Coveleskie, the veteran
spitbalIer, who should revel in the
soft, warm air of the Mound City,
will climb the hill today for the
world champion Griffmen. If he
merely approaches the form he
showed against the White Sox the
other day, he should win his
game. His complaint has been
that his aged muscles stiffen in
the cold on the bench between
innings, but he will hardly COM
plain of cold here. 1t is just
right for baseball.
For the Brownies, Wingard, the
big southpaw, will probably get
the call TO do a little work. Tn
less he is absolutely right, he will
get plenty of it, for the Griffs
are most anxious to take three
out of the four victories here be-
fore moving on to Cleveland TO-
morrow night.
Joe Harris is a happy bloke to-
day. Just as he was about con-
WINGED that he would never sue
ceed in staging a field day with
the fail and that Bucky Harris
was planning to bench him in ia
vor of the Lfebold- -McNeely combi-
nation, he came through at the ex-
pense of Milton CASTOR. While
George Mogridge pitched niftily,
nevertheless it was largely due to
Joe Harris that the Griffs copped
the second victory here. 8 to 1.
The former Boston Red Sox
captain went to the bat five
times. Once he drove q vicious
liner right into McManus' hands.
but on every other occasion he
hit safely. Three times he polIed
twO-baggers off Castor. and, with
young Stauffer opposing him in
the ninth, he contented himself
with a rOusing single to left.
Four hits for a total of seven
bases. scoring three runs and drIv-
ing in three others, indicates with
against the Browns. No. he is not
popular here. that's a cinch. In
addition, he handled five fielding
chances in good style. He felt so
good that he ordered extra ice
cream with his dinner.

hits in the first seven innings.
He let down in the eighth as he
contemplated his fat lead and the
Browns escaped a whitewaShing.

Joe Judge, whose right leg is In
most sorry condition, crashed a two
hagger to left in the first frame
and later waited home run out
among the rain-soaked fish in the
right field bleachers. That homer
was funny, as Joe didn't seem to
do more than bring his bat around.
Goslin was swinging his head off,
aiming at that same bleachcr, yet
he failed to get anywhere near 1t:

on his thigh as a result Of the mus

that lump. If it doesn't Judge may

first frame. Rice singled to left
advancing on a sacrifice by Bucky

against the wall in left, scoring
Rice. Goslin perished on a roller
to CASTOR, but Judge doubled to 'he
left field corner, scoring Joe Harris
THAT was enough to win but in the
sixth a double by J. Harris followed
by Goslin's single, added the third
tally.
CASTOR was punished in the
eighth and disappeared to let
Grant finish the contest. Rice
opened with q sharp single to
right, Bucky Harris sacrificing
for the second time. Joe Harris
doubled, Goslin singled and Judge
waited his home run to the

Goslin's head. The Goose made a
wild return, letting SEVERED ally.
However, the next two perished, so
why worry?
George SisIer looked foolish
against Mogridge until the ninth.
Then the Duke Of Rochester laid
one over in the groove and SiSler
got his hit, bringing his record up
to twenty eight consecutive games
in which he has hit safely. 1t was
a real hit to the fence in right field.
In the first frame Sisler bounced
weakly to Judge. In the fourth he
lined to Rice. In the sixth he
showed a hot one back at Mog1dge
