young man was needed. 1t made no difference how
wild he had been. So young Lord Ellington went
into training with his old regiment, the Hampshire

his regiment in England, and Nina George followed

BEHRING'S LIFE
 ONE GREAT THREAT
Famous Fish Faces Death From
 Spawn to Table

Kirkwall, Orkney Islands, May 14 LP-An expedition of naturalists is investigating from here the greatest of natural mysteries-how a herring ever gets to the dinner table.
 Englishmen are almost reared on herrings. They have them as kippers for breakfast, and then as white bait, (small fish). and pickled, smoked, broiled, or fried. They are always obtainable at even the small restau- rants.
 Millions of herrings are caught, eaten and relished every year. But scientists know that many more mill lions rarely ever pass the pawn age, and equal millions never got to adol- essence, yet they travel in such num- bers that they have been known to stop Q steamship.
 They are the prey of all other fish and human beings from the cradle to the stomach, and yet they are the pests of their own world. What the expedition of the Royal Geological institute wants to solve is the prob lem of how these creatures form the breakfast lunch and dinner for fish life and home saplens, and yet are found In such robust numbers. The expedition has spent two years investigating the baits and trials of the herring in their "alma water" the Orkney Islands and adjacent wet spaces. The scientists have learned there are enough father and mother herrinEs to lay billions of spawn each year. This spawn is awaited by millions of fish. mostly greedy codfish, who fatten and bloat them selves on the choice cavair thus pro- vided. The codfish, jelly fish, and many other varieties get their sub stance for weeks by sucking the her. ring spawns from the rocks and other places in which they nestle.
 Despite these marauders the adhe- sive eggs survive the incubation per iod and produce teeming masses Of tiny thread like fishes.
New Britain herald., 1926-05-14

The scientists found other fish life chasing the herring into the beach or any other possible place of safety. At times acres of the small herrings were seen, big splashes accounting for the coalfish and other pursuers, and the little spalshes for the es- caping herrings.
 Man starts the catch while the her rings are in the minnow age, epicuri- cally called whitebait. What ravishes the sea life makes at this time has not been accurately discovered, but dozens of herrings In various stages of digestion were found in cod and mackercl caught by the expedition.

New York. May II dP - On a larger scale than ever before, the sixth annual Citizens Military Train ing Camps will open in June and continue through July and August.
 Although 20,000 American youths already have applied, the attendance this year will be limited to 35,00o young men between the ages of 17 and 4 who can pass the required physical examination.
 At forty-nine open air posts and camps flung across the United States, these youths will be the gueses of the government for thirty days Of athletic. citizenship and military training. They will emerge 10 join the ranks of the 2G.419 other youths who have gone before them during the last five years.
 Although army appropriations arc the same this year, 2,oOo more students will be trained and ten more camps 5pened than last year. Camp opening dates vary. They will be in continuous operation, however from June F, when the first ten is pitched at Fort D. A. Russell, until September 1, when the last buglo dies away at Plattsburg, N Y.
 Business men are the chief sup porters of the c. N, T. C. movement according to Major General Charles P. Summeran, commanding general of the Second Corps Area. In his district alone l35 large industrial corporations have notified him that they are urging their young cm- ployes 10 attend and more than a score of them have offered thirty days vacation with full pay us an added incentive. Others have in- dicated they arc giving preference in promotion to graduates of the camps,
 Four courses will be taught. There is a basic course for youths between seventeen and tWenty-fOur who have had no military training; the Red course for those with preliminary training; the White course for Red course graduates, and the Blue course for young men who wish to qualify for commissions in the Off, cers Reserve Corps.
 The government furnishes railroad fare to and from the camps, colth- ing. equipment, bedding and meals. At the camps there is fishing. base ball, tennis, track events, swimming and boxing for recreation. h. structors who are physical experts,

Even up to the time when the her ring is large enough to stay in a net, the other fish swim about wait ing for them to drop over the side of the trawler.
 All things work against the her ring. It becomes the prey of the trawler more easily than any other fish for the trawler Is led directly to the herring shoals by the other and larger fish.

Mutton Stew Removed
 From British Tables

London, May 14 LF9 - Mutton stew, along with lamb chops and roast mutton, has been crossed off the menu of the British army, as a measure of economy.
 By ceasing to supply mutton, the war office has found that 1t can save thousands of pounds a year. This kind of meat will not appear in the army mess again until it becomes much cheaper. Roast and boiled beef. and sausages will be served tn- stead.
