One of the first lessons the
student of rare books learns
is that books which appear
repeatedly in reprint editions
are likely to be scarce in first
edition form-and therefore
Of possible value.
For the appearance of a
reprint obviously means that
some publisher believes the
book to be scarce. BY the
same token, if there is enough
demand for the book to JUS
tify a reprint edition, then
there is in all likelihood a
demand for the first edition
also.
Such an item is Black
Hawks famous autobiogra-
ply, one of the scarcer Mid
western Indian narratives.
There have been numerous
reprints since this histori-
cally important work was
first published in 1888, the
latest a couple of years ago
by the University Of Illinois
Press.

"I'm mad at my doctorl"
says Mr.. L. F. p, of Chicago.
He has taken care Of our
family for over 10 years. I'm
heartsick that we've broken
up.
But I haven't got the
heart to return and tell him
that I've been silly to lose my
temper. We've been using
another doctor who doesn't
measure up at all to our old
friend.
what do you suggest?
Shall ! 60 back and tell him
that I'm sorry? I'm afraid
that he'll have me thrown out
Of his office.
Come to think about it, I
don't even remember what
got me all riled about him in
the first place."
CHANCES ARE 1T was
trivial. I've lost many a pa
tent for reasons that wouldn't
even tip a sensitive scale.
You must remember that
most doctor-patient relation
ships are like those in a fam
lily. For that reason they
cannot go on for years with
out some misunderstanding
For example, the doctor is
often the father figure" He
is always telling you what
ito do" Although it is for
our own good, as it was when
our own father used to lay
down the law, we at times
resent the restrictions.
One patient will become
angry because you restrict
his smoking. He will go to
another doctor who allows
the weed.
I suggest, Mr.. L. FTP, that
you return to your old friend

JIM BISHOP:
REPORTER
Menhoden Industry Is Booming

The big boats move across
the dead calm sea slowly,
like fat old ladies under tiny
parasols. They trail a lacy
train and a man rocks gently
in the round crows nest.
The skipper on the bridge
watches the little plane in
the sky, and listens to the
loudspeaker. After a while,
the plane pilot speaks:
"a patch of red three points
OF your starboard, skipper.
A big patch. Four hundred
yards ahead and three points
to the right"
The fat boat moves. So do
some Of the others, loafing
on the bedspread of the sea.
They obey the gnat in the
sky. When they reach the
area, the skipper gets into a
small boat, the mate gets
into another. They start the
engines and, as they leave
the mother ship, a net I'M
rolls from the two boats.
AS they have done this
many times, they circle the
area from opposite directions,
meeting on the far side. The
net is hauled aboard the
mother ship by winches, the
fish flash foam. These are
menhaden. Fishermen call
them mossbunkers.
THE MENHADEN are the
ugly cousins Of the herring.
From June to October, they
swim in giant schools between
Maine and the Carolinas,
and across parts of the Gulf
Coast. From the air the
schools look red. Menhaden
have big heads and no teeth.
There is no fight in them and
no food either.
Still, the industry is big
and becoming bigger. The
purse seiners net 100000 tons
of these fish every summer.
This is 40 per cent of all the
fish landed around the United
States. The Indians used to
bury a menhaden in every
second row of corn. So did
the pilgrims. They got bigger
corn. Menhaden were great
as fertilizer.
Today there are six major
companies in the menhaden
industry. A good boat brings
in rs tons of fish a day. The
10 or so men on each boat
are paid according to the
amount of fish. No fish, no
pay.
The boats dock at a fish
plant. There. the menhaden
ride up on a conveyor. They
are ground up, put through
cookers which blow live
steam on them and the oil
is drained of by centrifugal
force. The solids are used as
food supplements for poultry
