FRENCH PLANTS
NOW BUSY ON
PEACE WORK
PARIS, May 1 (Correspondence of
the Associated Press).—The war man
ufactories of France, many of which
already have been diverted again to
peaceful pursuits, are turning out a
great variety of articles that are a
far reach from the implements of de
struction which were being fabricated
on armistice day. So far as possible
the war machinery has been kept and
is being employed to make the things
of peace to which it is best adapted.
Grenate foundries are now making
iron water piping, parts for agricul
tural machinery and non-rusting cas
seroles. One important establish
ment which was working on shells is
now manufacturing locksmiths’ tools.
In other shell works iron window
shutters, pick-axes, portable anvils,
safes and washing machines are being
constructed. One plant which made
parts for fighting tanks is, strange as
it may seem, constructing machines
for the manufacture of paper and of
chocolate.
Some of the aviation works have
been diverted to strange productions.
One is turning out threshing ma
chines. Others which made airplane
wings are making furniture. A plant
which repaired air machines is build
ing farm tractors. Another shop which
made special parts for airplanes is
installing looms for the manufacture
of braid such as is used in upholster
ing furniture. Carburetors and
plumbers’ lamps are being made by
an aviation works which formerly
made taps used in the mechanism of
the flying machine. The reservoirs
for petrol and oil made by one plant
have given way to kitchen utensils. A
plant which manufactured special arti
cles for aviation and telegraphy has
found that it can continue the same
line profitably.
A plant which during the war made
powder machines is now making im
plements for the production of ben
zine and dyestuffs. Another is turn
ing out crockery. Some plants which
were using part of their equipment
for the nitration of cotton have turned
to the production of paper without
finding it necessary to cut down the
number of employes.
Works which were devoted to the
manufacture of such things as fuses
have made some changes in their
equipment, and are about to embark
in the business of making thimbles,
hooks, paper-clips and kitchen uten
sils, such as casseroles, sieves, plates
and spoons. One plant which made
torpedoes and delicate instruments
for the accentuation of sound waves is
employed in making sheet iron.
Automobile lamps, farm implements
and fireless cookers are being made
by a large firm which constructed
winged bombs for air work. Another,
which made incendiary bombs, is pro
ducing copperware and fireworks.
A marine boiler plant is now work
ing on utensils for distillation and rec
tification. Portable houses are being
constructed for the liberated regions
by a manufactory which made sol
diers’ barracks during the war. A
plant which made boxes for munitions
is constructing artistic chairs. Some
of the works which made water bot
tles, cups and spoons for the army
are constructing tin boxes for the
preservation of foodstuffs.
One plant which made overshoes
and wooden shoes for the army is con
structing wooden backs for brushes.
Barrels for the fishing industry are
being made by an establishment
which formerly turned out barrels for
the army. Woodwork for houses is
being produced by a firm which had
been making wooden legs.

HERRING TO BE
BIG ASSET OF
NORTHLAND
While the salmon pack of Alaska
last year added $51,000,000 to the com
merce that passed through Seattle, of
ficials of the United States bureau of
fisheries are confident that within a
few years the canning and pickling of
herring will equal, ff not exceed, the
value of the salmon canned last sea
son.
Practically the entire coast of Alaska
is suitable for herring fisheries. In
every inlet and bay there are enor
mous herring schools, a food resource
that has so far been left virtually un
touched. Although herring fishing has
been carried on on a small 3cale by
natives and some white men for many
years, most of whom put up a few fish
for their own use, no real effort to
market this product was made until
last year, when the United States bu
reau of fisheries sent a number of ex
perts into the country to teach the
people how to pack these fish for the
market. The method used is known
as the Scotch cure.
An excess of 40,000 barrels of her
ring were put up and sent to New
York, where they sold at an average
price of from $18 to $20 a barrel. The
gross output had a value of approxi
mately $80,000. The Alaska herring
were pronounced by experts to be the
equal of any fish of similar variety in
the world, and much better than the
widely-advertised Norwegian product.
Bureau officials are highly gratified
at the results, and are confident that
the business can be extended to enor
mous proportions if it is properly han
dled and exploited. Much, it is said,
depends upon proper packing.
It is the intention of the bureau to
send additional experts into the terri
tory this summer to extend the busi
ness and to inaugurate a system of
inspection and branding which will
give the purchaser in the Eastern mar
kets an assurance that the contents of
the barrels have been properly packed.
An appropriation of $25,000 is needed
for this purpose, and the commerce de
partment will urge that it be passed
as soon as congress convenes.—Seattle
