tied the canning house of the
John H. Hoffecker Canning
Company and had packed un-
der their personal supervision
and direction fifty-two dozen
cans of tomatoes. This lot was
packed in a dozen or more diff
ferent kinds of cans, the pur-
pose being to determine the
chemical action as well as
every other influence including
temperature changes and clim-
attic conditions, on the contents
of these cans. The test is in
full accord with the National
Canning Association who have
been warmest advocates of the
pure food law, having at their
1906 convention at Atlantic
City passed strong resolutions
endorsing the measure then
pending in Congress and which
did not become a law until June
the 30th following said conven-
ton.
MIR. H. D. Boyer left yester-
day for Tamaqua, Pa, to attend

The American Boyers make up

to attend one of these reunions
he made up his mind this year
if he received an invitation, he
would make it a point to be
there.

the living wonders of nature
one must have some knowledge
of the ways of her creatures.
Since most divers are not train
ed in natural history, this know
ledge must be gained by learn
ing from books and from 9th
ers who have special training
or from nature herself. The Lit
toral Society will play an inn
portant role in providing guild
ance for divers interested in
starting study programs to ac-
quire the necessary knowledge.
The primary goal of the So
ciety is to enhance the divers
enjoyment of his sport through
greater understanding of nature
and through personal participa-
ton in natural history pro-
grams. That marine science too
will benefit is insured by the
active cooperation of the U. S.
Fish and Wildlife Service. The
Society has been guided in its
formation and in the design of
the Survey by DR.. Lionel A.
Walford and John R. Clark of
the Fish and Wildlife's Sandy
Hook Marine Laboratory, at
Sandy Hook, New Jersey.
The September Survey will
be handled much the same as
the Christmas b'~d ccun+ of the
Audubon Society. Each group
participating will form an in
dependent survey team. A sur
vey area of an acre or more
will be selected by each team
according to a general plan laid
down by the Society. On the
chosen day, the team will thor
oughly search the area, identi-
flying, enumerating, and record
ing all species of fish to be
found. The Society will furnish
complete instructions for the
Survey and helpful hints on fish
Identification procedure to all
participants.
! Since this first Survey will
also be a first experience in
precise observation for many
divers, it must be considered a
pilot operation. If the results
are promising, the Society will
sponsor a continuing series of
surveys in future years, which
will include the Gulf of Mexico
and the Pacific Coast. The ex-
perience gained this September
will be invaluable in planning

Littoral Society
Survey Attracts
Many Skin Divers

Attention all skin divers! The
newly formed American Littor-
al Society has announced its
first big problem-a survey of
marine fishes of the Atlantic
Coast from Maine to Florida.
The Survey, scheduled for early
September, will be limited to
the shallow waters of the shore
area, or 'littoral zone" All
skin divers with an interest in
sea life may participate.
The lure of the sea, forever
| irrestible to mankind, now at
tracts millions of skin divers
each year. AS with mariners
down through the ages, each
diver responds to the lure in his
own personal way. Some div
ers go to explore and others to
hunt and spear fishes. Some go
for exercise, others to socialize.
But a great many are attracted
simply by the quiet splendor
of natures great underwater
wonder-world.
Unfortunately most divers are
Igetting less from their sport
than they might because, to
them the sea and its life re-
mains a puzzlement. To enjoy
