Trouble Brews for Nettles

permit the replacing of exploded cap
sules, the sea nettle carries supplies of
reserve capsules in reservoirs within its
body. From these reservoirs capsules
are drawn as needed. If the sea nettle
loses a couple of tentacles it has the
power of growing new tentacles. which
are stocked with explosive capSuleS
Sea nettles do not possess true eyes,
but do have organs of light sensitive
ness, which range with different varie-
ties from a mere senSitiveness to the
difference between light and dark to
almost the grade of eyes. If bather
holds his hand over a sea nettle, the
creature can notice the shadow and will
often attempt to swim away by the
pulsing of its parachute-like body.
There are many varieties Of coelen-
terateS and they occur from the extreme
depths of the sea-having been drag
ged up from 1900 fathoms-to the shall
lows of brackish and even fresh water.
During seasons favorable to the net
ties, they may occur in enormous num-
bers. Last year, for example, they were
so numerous that in many parts of
Chesapeake Bay fishermen had to dis
continue the hauling of seines and sub
stitute trap nets. At one point in the
bay a single seine haul netted 7ls
tons of sea nettles, which clot
ted the net in such masses as
actually to smother the fish in the
catch.
The sea nettle is said to form an
article of food in parts of China and
Japan. The nettles are not eaten raw,
but are first preserved. stored for
time and then prepared for the table.
They usually are preserved with alum and
salt or by being pressed between the
leaves of a certain type of oak tree.
The preserved nettles, before being
eaten, are soaked in water and pre-
pared with condiments and rich sauces.

CAPITAL PRINTING
NOW S7D,oDO,ODO
Largest Single Industry In
cIudes U. S. Work, Walsh
Tells Radio Audience.

With an annual output valued at ap-
proximately $50,000000, the printing
and publishing business of Washington
represents the largest single industry of
the Capital, Gerald A. Walsh, executive
secretary of the Typothetae of Wash
ington, told a radio audience last night
in a series of weekly talks arranged by
the Chamber of Commerce over Sta
ton WMAL.
Mr.. Walsh, quoting census figures,
said that $30000,000 is done CONNER
cially and S20.000,000 more by the Gov
ernment Printing Office and Bureau of
Printing and Engraving.
The large volume of commercial print
ing and publishing, he said, is due in
part to the increasing number of asso-
Citations establishing headquarters here.
Much Printing Required.
These associations, organizing every
phase of American life, require large
amounts of printing to maintain con-
tact with widespread memberships.
Mr.. Walsh said that so per cent of
the output, commercial and govern
mental is represented in wages paid to
10000 men and women employees of the
industry, supporting $4,000 persons in
the Washington area.
The speaker estimated several mil
lions of dollars worth of printing which
could and should be done here is given
to outside concerns.
Restoring Of Confidence.
Discussing the Importance Of the in
duStry as whole, Mr.. Walsh said, I'VE
hear a great deal these days about the
restoration of confidence. Have you
stopped to consider that the re-estab-
lishment of public confidence has de-
veloped into a battle between the
printed word of responsible citizens
and the whispering and unfcunded ma
lacious rumors that are never traced
to any source?
In the case of advertising We have
individuals, corporations and tnstitu-
tionS giving facts, expressing their
opinions openly and standing squarely
behind their claims. 1t was the mil
lions of these advertising messages that
were seen and heard by millions of
people who learned to believe in them
that sold the goods!"

LYNCHBURG, Va, August 6.-Pres-
sure is being brought to bear on Col.
Aubrey E. Strobe Of this city and Am
herst, to become candidate before the
seventh district convention to be held
in Harrisonburg next month to repre-
sent that district in the next Congress.

not decided what will be his attitude to-
ward the movement, which had its in

was elected. This tenth district con-
vention will be held at the same time
