Found
In Canned Fish,
Small Amounts

PORTLAND, Ore, July 11.-Can-
ned and preserved fish contain
quantities of iodine, although not
in such great amounts as fresh fish,
according to a survey of the fish
cries bureau at Washington, ID. c.,
which has issued new publication
on the matter by Arthur w. Wells,
assistant technologist.
The knowledge is common that sea
foods containing iodine give assur-
ance against goiter. The new re-
search has assured persons living in
the interior, where fresh fish is diff
ficult to obtain, that canned fish
may be relied upon for iodine con-
tent.
Usual foods produced from the soil
have been found to contain so little
iodine that the supply needed for
the human system must be supple
mented from other sources.
Experiments indicated that the
fresh lobster is the king of all in
iodine, with 1880 parts to the bill
lion, but not far behind is the liquid
from canned oysters, with $500
parts. Other seafoods are strong in
iodine content in various amounts.
One part Of iodine to three mil
lion in the human body is believed
sufficient to prevent goiter, accord
ing to physicians.

New Wrinkle in
The Ship World

SAN FRANCISCO, July IL
Ships with corrugated sides to pre-
vent seasickness is the latest wrin-
kle in the ship world.
According to officials of the
Moore Shipyards on San Francisco
bay, corrugated ship has practi-
cally no chance to roll because the
wrinkles shoulder the waves along
side in q vertical direction, where
rs the action in the plainsided ship
is to waste energy by pushing them
away horizontally, square to the
vessels side.
The British freighter, Newton
Ash, one of the first vessels of this
type to be launched, was recently
repaired here. 1t was subjected to
examination by hundreds of ship
ping men.
Increased deadweight of 6 per
cent and reduced fuel consumption
of l6 per cent is claimed for the
wrinkled ships.
Eight of the new type vessels are
under construction.
