Walsh, City Cleric. m . - to the Sportsmen's theflsh tad wildlife service haa diacovered a new method of jiving hatchery trout the vMd coloretkm which has heretofore bean considered exclusively the property of fish reared in the wild. The answer, believe it or not, is to season the trout> diet liberally with paprika! This innovation has been developed by A. V. Tunison, assistant director of the service's division of game-fish and hatcheries. The experiments were carried on in cooperation with the state of New York and Cornell university while Mr. Tunison was stationed at the Service's laboratory in Cortland, N. Y. Hatchery-raised fish fed experimentally on gull eggs were the first to show the natural coloring. Analysis of the eggs disclosed that a carotenoid compound on which the gulls fed was responsible for the pigmentation. As gull eggs were not commercially available, other substances were sought that would produce similar results. This led to the discovery that 2 per cent of paprika in the diet for brook and brown trout would produce coloration similar to that of the wild fish. It was not effective in coloring rainbow trout. Fish taken off the paprika diet retained their color six to eight weeks. Flavoroffishwas not affected. JMCTWIB r>" t4" ... m IrOO LATE TO CLASSIFY ;,,.^Jgant Ada on Page Six r FOR SALE ~~ I •.

Merchants Bought Stocks At Early British Fairs British fairs originated a thousand years ago as part of a primitive merchandising system in which peddlers were the only traveling salesmen and there were no advertisements, catalogs, or mail orders. The early fairs of England were designed primarily for trade between British and foreign merchants, importers and manufacturers. At fairs merchants would inspect the goods, select piece by piece, and cart purchases over the rutty roads to their shops or to ports. The greatest fair in England was Stourbridge fair just outside Cambridge. Its early history is unknown, the first recorded reference being in a charter by King John in 1211. Stourbridge fair continued until 1934. This fair was under the direction of Cambridge university. At night red-coated students served as watchmen, going about the grounds "harnessed and weaponed," and crying, "Look about you there!" Feathered Anglers feathered anglers have different Rhods of catching fish. The osprey hovers over the water, plummets down, hits the water with a splash and catches his quarry in his talons. The kingfisher sits in a tree and patiently watches, catches it in Ma long, pointed bill. The loon swims underwater to catch his prey, while the eagle robs the osprey of his captured fish by forcing him to | drop it in flight. The eagle then i swoops upon the falling fish and catches it in his talons, sailing away to enjoy his stolen morsel on some -Sldnded crag.

Bolge^s Drug Store Green Street: McHenry "We urge members of Congress and citizens who believe in a balanced budget to support now every move to put the United States on a sound fu*al basis. Only if that is done can our country successfully discharge its obligations." This appeal, voiced by 16 informed members of the House and Senate, of both major parties, gives ne^ impetus to the movement for a balance of next year's federal budget. / As the budget estimates come under closer scrutiny, many opportunities appear for reduction of the proposed expenditures chargeable against current revenues. The bvdget can be balanced. As submitted to the Congress, the budget proposed expenditures of nearly )36 billion but, as pointed out by the 16 members of Congress, almost half this total is composed of tentative estimates without detail. "A determined Congress," they say, "with, citizen backing can find the cuts needed for budget balancing" in some $23 billion of the proposed expenditures. . For the first time in years, Congress ; is in a good position to resume effective controls of spending and to enforce needed economies.

S/OL VOU would think that Tom Yaw* 1 key, owner of the Bodton Red Sox, after spending ao many milliona and waiting so many years to win a pennant, would now be a happy, carefree man. From what we hear Yawkey, usually a cool, calm individual in the face of any crisis, is now nervous as a cat on a hot stove. His team has shown no sign of the jitters, but Owner Yawkey has. He apparently can't Relieve that his dream has a most excellent chance of coming true. As a high-class sportsman in every way and a real lover of baseball, winning a major league pennant became one of Yawkey's obsessions years ago. Money was never a barrier along the pennant road. It is estimated that the Red Sox owner has unloaded over $3,000,000 for the exclusive purpose of finishing in front. The amount may be considerably higher. But his pennant dream kept turning into .a nightmare. Something always happened and it was usually to the Yankees. la the meanwhile Xawkey refused to weaken, maeh loss to quit. He also staek to his manager Joe Cronin, where the Red Sox, wader average baseball ownership, would have known fonr or Ave different managers la the last few years. While it was known early this spring that the Red Sox would be good, the Yankees and the Tigers were, also in the pennant-race picture. The Yankees with Joe Di- Maggio, . Charlie Keller, Tommy Henrich, Joe Gordon, Phil Ruzzuto, Snuffy Stirnweiss, Bill Dickey, Nick Etten, Johnny Lindell and Spud Chandler shaped up as a formidable looking outfit on both attack and defense. The Tigers, too, looked dangerous. Many Uncertainties The Red Sox at the time had several gambles to face; at first, at third, and their pitching staff. They had Tex Hughson and Boo Ferris, but the others were uncertain ties, just as Yankee pitchers were outside of Chandler. You can understand, during those March days at Sarasota on the west coast of Florida, why Tom Yawkey should have been a trifle on the jittery side. Tom was--but Joe Cronin wasn't, although Joe knew this had to be his year. Cronin refused to make any predictions beyond saying this: "We've got a good ball club. We'll give anybody a battle." Now past the midsummer spot with a long lead and the best ball club, you would feel that Tom Yawkey at least should be able to take a deep, free breath \and relax. In baseball's greatest year, so far as attendance and public interest goes, with something close to an allstar team in one corral, every one connected with the Red Sox should be able to stand up and sing "Just around the corner there's a rainbow in the sky," or "Happy days are here again." All Boston, outside of the Taw, key offlee, are hamming these cheerful tunes. After all Boston, one of the eradles of baseball, has gone 28 years without a pennant. Boston kept looking baek these.28 years to the diys of Long, Lowe, Duffy, Big BUI Dineen, Smoky Joe Wood, Carrigan, Speaker, George ("Duffy") Lewis, Hooper, including George Stalliags' miracle Braves of i914. Boston also could look back to a burly fellow by the name of Babe Ruth and a great squad that Harry Frazee sold to New York to make the Yankees famous. It was Boaton that gave New York its Yankee fame--Ruth, Pennock, Jumping Joe Dugan, Red Ruffing, these and many more. But Babe Ruth was enough. For 10 years the Yankees without Babe Ruth in his prime, would have been just another ball club. A good one--but not a great one. Would Have Kept Stars If Tom Yawkey had been owner of the Red Sox around 1010 or 1020, Boston would have dominated the game through the next decade, not the Yankees. For Yawkey would have kept Ed Barrow, one of the smartest men baseball has ever known. He would have kept Babe Ruth, Red RufRng and Pennock and many others--and to these he would have added the best ball players a few millions of dollars could buy. This shows you what an owner means to a major league club. Harry Frazee, a theatrical, not a baseball man, wrecked the Red Sox for at least 10 years. It has taken Tom Yawkey another 10 years to sweep away the debris and replace the damage. He faced an almost impossible job with the Yankees entrenched as they were--largely through Red Sox talent all those years. From this you pan understand why Tom Yawkey and the sedate city of Boston is so wrought up over the prospect of getting a long-delayed revenge over the Yankees, who robbed them oi victory so many times.

Hollanders Restoring Ruined Land to Ara&lityi THE HAGUE. -- The war cost Holland more than a million acres of arable land, but most of it is ex-> pected to be restored this year. $ About 550,000 acres of soil were' inundated, some 200,000 acres by salt water. A further 125,000 acres were used| for minefields, fortifications and airf fields, about 375,000 acces could not be properly cultivated, and thousands of farms were destroyed ot damaged. The restoration is being carried out, where possible, by the farnm rers. They receive a government' grant averaging about 500 guilders.' The restoration work is aided by the state service for agricultural re-j covery; 25,000 laborers are engage# in leveling small inundation dams; built by the Germans, filling up, tank ditches, bomb holes and shells craters, demolition of fortifications,! closing of several hundred miles of trenches intersecting arable land.: In 1045 about 27,000 acres of grassland destroyed by inundation were resown.

The story is told here of a Swiss trader who used to get a superior honey from Italy. When export of Italian honey was barred, ne got word to hia Italian purveyor to bring his pots of honey and leave them open at the edge of the forest near the barbed wire along the border. While the Italian was doing this, the Swiss moved his beehives to the other side of the valley, about 1,000 yard* from where the iioney stood. Within three days the bees had brought 200 pounds of Italian honey into Switzerland. Vaccination Alone Can Not Cure Brucellosis The vaccination of heifer and byll calves 4 to 8 months old is usually advisable when there is any possibility of brucellosis, or Bang's disease. When an outbreak is starting it might be advisable to also vaccinate the adult herd. Vaccination of calves, blood-test^ ing of breeding cows, and proper feeding, sanitation, and management present a program that should largely do away with brucellosis. 600 Japs Still Hiding * Out on Island of Guam PEARL HARBOR, T.
