FISH IS NOT POPULAR FOOD
With the Wonderful Supply at X^eir
Command, People of the United
States Eat Little.
Americans have been noted for
the lavish and often reckless man
ner in which they have used the na
tional resources but, strangely, the
vast resources of our seas and lakes
have not been used as (the other na
tions of the world use theirs. The
people of the United Kingdom eat
about sixty-five pounds of fish each,
each year; Sweden, 52 pounds; Nor
way, 44 pounds; Canada, 30 pounds,
and the United States, 16 pounds.
Our comparatively insignificant con
sumption is due to sluggish demand
and not to scarcity of fish. The seas
adjacent to our shores are vast res
ervoirs of food produced without ef
fort on the part of man, and our
Great Lakes hold unsurpassed stores
of fresh-water fishes. We have at
our command a greater variety of
fine food fishes and shellfishes than
any other country, but we do not
use them as we must eventually, for
in the future we must draw an ever
increasing supply of our food from
the waters as the land becomes less
able to supply the needs of the in
creasing population.
TIT FOR TAT
Mrs. Justwed—Those pearls make
a lovely birthday gift. Thank you <
so much. But T have a confession
to make. This isn't really my twen
ty-fourth birthday. I’ve always lied
about my age.
Her Husband—That’s all right.
Those aren’t genuine pearls.
DID NOT SUFFER MUCH.
Beer was not so plentiful in Ger
many during 1920 as before the
war, not by half, and colfee was
used to only one-third of the amount
consumed in 1913, says the Nation s
Business. The pre-war number of j
cigars was cut in two, and only
cigarettes showed a figure higher
than in 1913. Altogether, however,
Germany in 1920 spent 23,000.000,- j
000 of her depreciated marks for I
beer, wine, coffee, tea and tobacco. j
FATHER'S POSITION.
“Father,” said a budding eight- j
year-old, “do you know there are .
110 in our family?”
“Don’t be silly, my boy,” replied
the father. “There are only three.”
“No! there are 110. Mother is
one, I am one, and you come next.” ;
TO MAKE CHANGES
AT CONVICT FARM
Minor Alterations Planned As
Result of Recent In
vestigation
At the request of other
members of the Arkansas
Penitentiary Commission in
the monthly meeting yester
day, Mrs. Laura Conner of
Augusta, the only woman
member of the organization,
submitted a list of sugges
tions for the betterment of
living conditions compiled on
the report of her recent inves
tigation.
By consent of the com
mission, Mrs. Conner, with the
Rev. W. B. Hogg, recently
made an investigation of the
penitentiary system and their
report was filed with the com
mission yesterday.
The principal suggestions
were leniency in corporal pun
ishment and non-use of the
strap in light offenses, better
cooking at one of the camps,
better bathing facilities at all
camps, elimination of vermin
at one camp, better religious
instruction at one of the
farms, supplying all convicts
with Bibles and the planting
of orchards for the use of con
victs at the farms.
in discussing tne present
system of punishment by lash
ing with a strap, Mrs. Conner
said that she considered the
abolishment of the strap at
present impracticable, but
that the punishments should
be made lighter. Mrs. Con
ner said she did not hope to
have all improvements made
at once as some of them must
wait on finances, but that the
commission will establish
;hose which are needed at
3nce, and that others will be
considered further at the next
monthly commision meeting,
rhe report commended high
ly some of the wardens for
:heir wrork and no charges
were made against any war
lien.
The board spent the entire
iay in disccussion of the sug
gestions and in the consider
ation of bills, etc., and post
poned the matter of paroles;
