.CcIENcE has been uncoverins
some interesting facts about
~ fish. These facts not only add
to the pleasures of the table
but affect our health and well-being
A great part Of the research that has
led to these important discoveries has
been conducted by a little group ot
technologists here in Washington
from the Neurological Investigations
Division Of the Bureau of Fisheries,
under the general direction of Frank
Bell, fisheries efficient commissioner
a..d the direct supervision of DR.. John
r. Manning, in charge Of the in
vestigations.
The humble fish has taken on new
value as result of the advances made
under DR.. Manning in the utilization
of fish waste, SO that important in
dustries flourish on the by-products
and as result Of the determined
effort on the part of the bureau to
make the American housewife come
to realize the value of fish in the
daily diet. Marine products have been
disclosed as sources of the vital vita
minis, of great variety of minerals
and OF high-quality proteins so neces-
sary for the proper maintenance OF
bodily health and tone. In addition
the oyster is seen in a new light, as
corrective agent in the fight against
anemia, and shellfish come to thu
front as preventives OF goiter and
similar deficiency diseases"
Perhaps one of the most dramatic
results achieved in the few years
that this investigating unit has op-
Grated in the Bureau of Fisheries i.
the discovery that fish oils othel
than those extracted from the liver!
OF cod are as rich in the sunshine
vltamm D. This one discovery alone
has saved the American public a mil.
lion dollars year.

this country produces less than II
per cent of the cod liver oil that Il
consumes, the foreign product eniovee
a virtual monopoly in this field. Bacl
In 1929 DR.. Manning, who had JUS
come over to fisheries from tn,
Treasury Department, turned his at.
tention to fish oils that might con.
tail especially vitamin d. In his owl
words, he didn't see why Go,
should endow the cod alone with tn,

mission to do little experimenting
of his own in the subject.

extract iodine from the water and
concentrate it in amounts far beyond
their need, and crustaceans, shellfish
and small fishes that feed on these
plants and in turn furnish food for the
larger fishes, distribute this important
element in way that makes it readily
available to man. Therefore, the ad-
vice OF these experts in Washington is
to eat more sea food If your diet In
lacking in iodine-and eat it, anyway
CONSIDER oysters. for example
- DR.. Manning and his crew have
discovered some important things
about oysters in relation to our health
OF perhaps greatest general interest
because Of the prevalence Of this
bodily impoverishment these days, is
the improvement of anemic conditions
when oysters are included in the diet
Experiments conducted by technologi-
cal experts Of the Bureau of Fisheries
show that the oyster provides the body
not only with the necessary iron TO,
the production of the red blood cells
or hemoglobin, but, next to liver, l.
the best natural sources of iron and
copper that we know of.
Experiments conducted on white
rats IN whom severe anenia had been
produced by feeding them an exclusive
milk diet, showed that they were able
to increase the hemoglobin content of
their eood from 80 per cent of normal
to the normal content in three to eight
weeks, when they received only 5 per
cent of their caloric intake in the form
OF oysters. The Bureau of Fisheries
stresses IN particular the food value
OF the oyster stew, as the combination
OF milk and oysters provides the body
with two foods that mutually supple
ment each others DEFICIENCIES.
Shrimps. clans, oysters and other sea
foods are also valuable as preventives
OF anemia and of goitre.
As a matter of fact, fish products
are rich in many other minerals, as
well, minerals that are of great i'm
portance in nutrition. And it has
hSCAA tA1C OOJcCClVc vi tIle oUEcAu Ol
Fisheries, through the work of its
technological experts, to bring the
high value Of such foods to the at
tention Of the American public. For
instance, fish flour, which is a de-
hydrated product prepared from the
edible waste Of certain fishery indus
tries and which is suitable for use in
human nutrition, contains from 8 to
20 per cent Of minerals, largely call
cium and phosphorus. The bureau
would call the attention of the house,
wife to the fact that fish -four lends
itself very well tn incorporation in
amounts as high as 10 per cent to 20
per cent, in bakery products. In such
combination, they point out, it Is an
excellent and palatable source Of min
erals, particularly for the development
and maintenance of bones and teeth

able in the Bureau Of Fisheries at the
time, but the Department of Agri-
culture made its laboratories avail

rats to keep the experiments going.
DR.. Manning and his associates be-
gan to investigate first Of all fish oils,

cod. that were on the market for
other than dietary or medicinal uses.
These they examined for their pos
sible vitamin D content. AS a result
OF this work the livers of halibut,
heretofore discarded when the fish
was eviscerated at sea, now bring as
much as so cents pound and are
bought up in great quantities by
drug firms.
Later, in it own nutrition labora-
tories, the Bureau of Fisheries tech
nologists continued their experiments

valuable knowledge of the vitamin
content OF other fish oils. Tuna liver

ming and his colleagues, either as oils
or as ingredients of concentrates,
while company on the Pacific Coast
has been organized to produce salmon
liver oil for human nutrition. DR..
Manning believes it will not be long
before salmon oil and salmon liver
oil and swordfish liver oil will be
available for similar purposes.
If more housewives in the United
States knew these facts" DR.. Man.
ming states, few would continue to
pour the valuable juices contained
in a can of salmon down the drain
and then step out to the drug store
for cod liver oil that is no richer in
vitamin d and retails at q much
higher price"
THIS same line of investigation has
been very fruitful in other ways.
For instance, the farmers have bene-
flied notably with the rapid strides
that have been made in poultry nu-
triton. Today California sardine or
pilchard oil is an important ingredient
of poultry feed. Practically all poul-
try feed, as a matter of fact, now
contains the essential vitamin D con-
tanned in fish oils, while heretofore
only the most expensive included it.
DR.. Manning has some interesting
facts in connection with this fish-oil
industry in the United States. Ap-
proximately l2,800,O00 gallons of It
are produced annually in this country
and by far the greatest psrt of this
production is a potential source Of
vitamin-bearing oils for nutritional
use. Competition of other fish oils has
served, too, to bring about a much
more favorable price level for cod
liver oil, so that consumption has
greatly increased. both for human and
animal nutrition.

Nearly II Miles an Hour

It took a racing pigeon only 2
hours and Al minutes to fly from Pitts

That's winging at the rate OF nearly
u miles per hour.
Maybe that's not so fast in compari-
son to the 85-minute time OF the fastest
plane, but exceedingly good for another
kind of bird whose equipment hasn't
improved since God first gave 1t two
wings. And considering the overnight

train beat all hollow.
Such news. found in the Capital

nounced a new speed record of 55 miles
per hour from Cleveland, Tenn. de-
spite unfavorable weather conditions.
Red Comet, the Burgess Carroll
entry which won the Capital City

But that's not detracting one iota
from the fact that after being liber-

Unless big league baseball adopts
