 S26l, ,O23 During Year

Washington. Feb. 4. R-Adoles- cent fish are heavy eaters.
 The department of commerce has counted the cost of material fed last year to baby fish in PAP national. state and private hatcheries and 1t finds that the total is S261 .ooS.
 Young fish and breeding stock ate something like $500 tons of meat and cereals. Beef liver was the fa- Norite food, but AZ per cent of the total provender was made of fresh or salted fish flesh.
 The bill for fish food in 1928 Is likely to be still higher, for Secre- tary Hoover and his fisheries eX- perts are convinced that fish mature more successfully If kept longer in hatcherics and nurseries while young.

Hard to Get Exact
Size of Hoilstones

The maximum possible size of a
single hailstone cannot be stated pos
itively for the simple reason that
there is not always a trained observ-
er on hand to measure every large
haiistone which falls. HailstoneS
larger than a persons fist and weigh
ing more than pound have several
times been reported on good author
ity, according to the United States
weather bureau. During a storm in
Natal in 1874 hailstones fell which
weighed a pound and a half They
passed through a corrugated iron roof
as if 1t had been made Of paper. Hail
stones IA inches in circumference fell
in New South Wales in February,
1947. At Cazoria. Spain, on June 10,
1929, houses were crushed under
blocks of ice, some of which are said
to have weighed four and a half
pounds. In October, 1874, hail
storm at Cette, France, wrecked
houses and sank vessels. But these,
like all reports dating back many
years, must be taken with grain of
salt The unframed observer often
unconsciously exaggerates. Then, too,
some of these reports may refer TO
cases where masses of ice resulted
from the coalescence, after falling, of
a number of smaller hailstones lying
closely packed together on the ground.

Blue LoUs Banned Pies

1.-THE pumpkin, or pompion," We
read in Peters General History of
Connecticut" published in 1871, sis
one of the greatest blessings, and held
sacred in New England. Of it's meat
are made beer, bread, custards, sauce,
molasses, vinegar and, on thanksgiv-
ing days, pies, as substitute for
what the blue laws brand as anti
Christian minced pies"
The same author explains why New
EngIanders were called pumpkin
heads. AS every male was required
to have his hair cut round by a cup,
when cups were not to be had, they
substituted the hard shell of a pump
kin, which, being put on the head
every Saturday, the hair is cut by the
shell all around the head"-Gas
