BATH FOR FISH
REMEDY FOR
DISEASES
Bureau of Fisheries Expert
Tells How Finny Tribe
Can Be Cured

Giving q fish a bath sounds as
silly as carrying Goals to Newcastle,
vet this is done quite often at the
Washington AQUARIUM in the Blu
lreau Of Fisheries Building at Sixth
and 3 streets northwest, accord
ing To Lewis Radcliffe. deputy com.
missioner Of the Bureau Of Fish
cries.
The bathing process becomes
necessary, he said, when any Of the
sea creatures received at the ac-
auarium are suffering from a dis
ease. The cOnnnnonest illness, suf-
fered by the fish, according to Mr..
Radcliffe, are sores of the body,
which appear when parasites,
scarcely observable to the naked
eve. attach themselves in the man
ner Of 1eeches.
These thrive on the victim and,
IL not externinated in time, will
kill the fish. Attempts to scrub off
the barnacle-lilxe creatures are first
made and this falling, the fish are
bathed in solution, usually OF salt
water, strong enough to kin the
parasites without injuring the fish.
The salt water bath does not
in any way injure q fresh water
fish, Mr.. Radcliffe said. They are
only kept in the salt water a short
time, long enough to kill off the
parasites, and then replaced in
fresh water tanks. However, he
said, if the fresh water fish were
allowed to stay in salt water any
length of time, they would, Of
course. die.
The Bureau OF Fisheries has just
received q shipment Of 10000 sal
mon eggs from the Columbia river
country, but, they win not be
Matched in this section OF the coun-
try due to the fact that the nearby
waters are not cold enough, Mr..
Radcliffe said today. They win be
reshipped to New York where the
temperature Of the water Is much
colder

MITCHELL GIVES
CAMERA MEN
THE AIR
News Photographers Have
Worn Out Welcome With
Flying Colonel


Washington photographers, who
for several months have basked In
the favor of Colonel Billy" Mitch
ell, were today shocked when the
hitherto amiabIe air service storm
center CURLY ordered them out of
his rooms at the New Willard
Hotel.
Assembled in the reception room
of the suite to@ay a group of the
photographers were set to shoot
scores Of plates they had confident
~ placed on q nearby table.
To their establishment, Colonel
Billy, instead of falling in their
plans banished them with scant
courtesy.
These are my private rooms"
he informed them tartly. There's
nothing doing on pictures.
Earlier in the day Mrs. Mitchell
had told photographers that she
believed her husband was too busy
making out reports preparatory to
the aircraft investigation to pose,
but the photographers took it for
granted their welcome Of former
days still held good.
The photographers attribute his
bad humor to the fact that one of
their number, anxious to get
scoop, had reused him from bed
long before sunrise.

List Of u. S. U-Boat
Losses Shows This
is Navys Worst

If all those now imprisoned
in the steel hull Of the sunken
submarine Ssh are dead-as is
feared by naval officers-it will
be the greatest submarine dis
aster in American naval history.
The biggest submersible catas-
trophe the navy has ever ex-
perienced was in 1915 when the
Sd san koff Honolulu, with a
loss Of twenty-six officers and
men.
Other. submarine accidents
since the war have been as fol-
lows:
July 80, 1s19-The G-2 sank
at her mornings with loss of
three men.
March "a, 1e2o-The HI was
beached at Magdalena Bay; loss,
one officer, three men.

Four Other U-BOats
AT Officers
Hoping for ReScues

NEW LONDON, Conn.,, Sept. rs.
Aboard four sister ships OF the luck
less submarine, Ssh, fellow sailors
today sought the steel tomb which
held her crew-sought and listened
intently for the faint undersea tap
ping that would tell them some OF
the men were still alive.
The four submarines all "S-boats, !"
nut out from the New London
naval base before dawn, followed
shortly by mine sweeper.
The craft are the So, $40, S-49
and $50, all sister ships Of the
stricken craft, end the mine sweeper
Ewing.
Twenty fathoms deep in Block
Island sound lay the object Of their
quest, the steel hulk of the stricken
craft.
Despite the swift rush which car
ried the S-51 to the bottom after
she was rammed by the steamer
City of Rome, it was hoped that
possibly some. of the crew had time
to close water-tight bulkheads and
fight off death as long az air lasted.
II was faint hope, but under
it's incentive crews OF the four
submersibles drove on toward the
: spot where their comrades ship
lay.
Listening apparatus delicate
enough to catch the faintest under
sea noise was in operation to ap-
prise the searchers whether any
Of the thirty-five sailors still lived.
Divers and lifting apparatus with
which it was hoped to bring the
S-51 swiftly to the surface also
were carried by the searching ships
Reports reaching the New Lon
don base located the sunken sub
marine accurately enough, 1t was
hoped, so that little time would be
lost in finding her, fourteen miles
off the island. on line toward
Point Judith.
The submarines were under or
ders to cruise along the bottom in
this vicinity until the Sol was
found.
The survivors-if there were sur
vivors-would keep up a steady
tap-tap on the side of their steel
tomb, it was believed. to let the
searchers know there was life
aboard the sunken craft.
II that hope is realized, and 1t is
learned that some members of the
crew were alive, there will follow
a race against time to raise the
submarine before the imprisoned
men are suffocated.
Ships from the Charleston navy
yard at Boston and liners called in
by radio messages broadcast when
word Of the disaster was received
were expected to swell the number
of searching craft to around score
before this afternoon.
But the greatest dependence was
placed on the submersibles able to
search the depths and detect the
first sound giving hope that some
Of the submarines crew still lived.
Navy men held stubbornly to the
hope of rescue.
Some few Of the crew, they be-
lieved, might have been in the small
alright compartment forward and
by quick closing Of the bulkhead and
all air vents escaped death by
drowning or the more horrible snf-
location by chlorine gas, formed
when salt water poured into the
acid of the submarines storage bat
NGries.
