Cheap Source for Vit1min d

A CHEAP and abundant source Of Vitanin d.
which is 50 essential 10 growth, has been
discovered BY Federal chemists in other types
of Ash than the cod and the refuse heaps OF
canneries may now be turned into q source Of
revenue which at the same time viii give the
farmer q cheaper oil than the cod liver Oil
which so many are now feeding their stock
The investigators believe that these otls are
obtainable at one-third to one-fouTth the pres
ent cost of cod liver oil, which Is widely used
in stock and chicken feeds because Of its high
content Of vitamin D, now considered essential
for the raising of chicks and other young ani-
mails. rs well as for the proper feeding OF
children.
From this information It appears that farmers
may obtain a more economical supply Of vttamin
D with which to supplement the vttamiI A
content Of such feeds as yellow corn anu
alfalfa.
PiIchard OIL 1000 900 gallons Of which are
produced annually from California saTdines Is
as rich in vitamin d as cod Liver oil Tuna oil,
equally rich In this vitamin, Is less abundant.
Salmon oil Is about one-half as rich In VitaTnan
d as cod liver oil, and its Vitamin content Is
about the same as the poorer grades Of cod Aver
oil Because of the great supply, the price paid
for vitamins and D in salmon oil Is now
lower than the price paid for those VitamiIls in
cod liver oil.
The Federal chemists believe that nanufae-
tu-ers can change their methods and improve
the vitamin A content of salmon oil. At present
the production of salmon oil is slightly less than
that of cod liver oil. The supply, however can
be increased five or six fold, because millions Of
pounds of salmon offal from which the oil could
be recovered are dumped into Alaskan waters
every year.

Minor Accidents in Mines.

CONVINCING proof that the spectacular ex-
plosion is by no means the cause Of the
great toll of lives taken each month In coal
this year.
There were 159 miners who lost their lives
during the 30-day period and all of these were
in minor accidents, only one major disaster, this
one claiming IT lives. having been recorded.
Further proof Is to be found in the fact that
the death rate per million tons of anthracite
mined was almost double that Of soft coal.
The little careless accidents, such rs contact
with electric power lines, falls Of roofs and side
walls and hauling accidents which nnd their
place only in official reports go to make up the
annual toll of lives 1t Is against this type Of
accident that the Bureau Of Mines safety work

RHANY's the stirring tale that the brOnzed
1NA and sea-svept fisher folk can tell Of the
Cuest for shad and herring, which come up the
rivers in this area to spawn IN March ana
April. The peculiar thing about It, say the
fishermen, rs that these fish are always caught
going upstream, and seldom, II ever WIN sa10

ehrouded with q certain amount OF mystery,
the fishermen claim, for they are DeneVeo 70

they are seldom caught making their way OUT
to sea again.

Apart from the deep-sea fishing outside the

total number Of nets in the Chesapeake Bay
region in this proportion: 1000 nets IN the
washington area Of the United States Engineer
Office 900 in the Norfolk area and about 400
IN the Baltimore area. These So-caned trap
nets he explains, cost between 81 500 and $4,000
each There are from 800 TO 1000 owners and
each fisherman employs from four to seven
men to aid him in his task In addition to this
6shing array there are some 500 gill nets, by
which the fish are caught by the gills, and
these nets cost from 5000 to $500 each. This
type is used in the rivers, where the water Is
not so clear The fish swim into these gill nets
and they are then pulled up. The average life
of the net Is given from two to three years,
depending upon usage and weather conditions.
DINE poles in the traps used in the bay are
from so 10 rs feet long and are set in As
to so feet of water. These poles are damned
down into the river bed by piledrivers and

putting stirrups over the poles, and then men

them down into the soft bottom. The hard

Price of Gas
Still Dropping

LOS ANGELES, June II. U.P)-
Prospects of another drop in fuel
prices were seen in the renewal of
the 'gas war" here with independ-
ent dealers today quoting gasoline
as low as - cents while the ma jor
companies held their product at l6l
cents.
The sharp reduction by the in
dependents was expected to be met
at least in part by another cut by
the major companies.
The Texas company took the
lead over the weekend by posting
tank wagon prices at 121a cents to
dealers and was followed by other
large concerns.
The present "war" differs from
the one few weeks ago, when only
the independents took part. Mai jor
companies attribute the situation to
"over production"
