SILK FROM CRABS
The annual catch of hard crabs in the United States,
including Alaska, is 89,000,000 lbs. of which 33,000,000
pounus is waste. This waste should produce better than
10,000,000 pounds of dried crab scrap which has been
found one of the best of chicken foods. Under tests by
the bureau of fisheiies, a 100-per cent increase m egg
production was secured from hens fed on this scrap. A
new artificial silk is also produced from crab shells, j
isew England now produces 2,000,000 pounas of
fish scales from herring, used to make pearl essence for
imitation pearls, mother of pearl, pearl buttons, umbrel
la handles and celluloid products for backs of brushes and
hand mirrors and other toilet articles.
Deputy Commissioner Radcliffe of the Bureau of
Fisheries recently made the statement that a woman ;
could dive into the sea and come up figuratively fully
clothed. He said:
“She would be wearing a dress of artificial silk
made from the shells of crabs, lobsters or other crusta
ceans; a fur coat of otter or seal; shoes of shark skin
ornamented with mussel-shell buckles; the buttons on
her dress would be of pearl from fish scales or fresh
water mussels. Coral earrings and a tortoise-shell comb
would complete her outfit.
“In her shark-skin or alligator skin handbag she
would be carrying a cake of soap made from fish oil, j
cold cream from whale oil, a sponge, a bottle of per
fume with ambergris as a fixitive, a hand lotion made j
from sea moss and gloves of cod skin. On her way home
she views a photogravure which was covered with
glue before etching and purchases a fur hat adorned
with an aigrette made of whalebone, a toilet set made
from fish scale pearl essence, an amber pipe or cigarette
holder, a bottle of cod-liver oil, some agar agar for gel
atine and cuttle-fish for the cannery.”
Doctors have ever claimed—and statistics prove
the point—that more people die from over-eating than
of over-drinking. So why not take away another personal
liberty and prohibit eating.
According to the records on weather conditions
along the railroad belt Seward is the heart of the ban
ana area; nothing else but!

RELIEF EXPECTED FEW DAYS
THEN PLANS GOING TO
SOUTH FOR REST
WASHINGTON, Jan., 8, (/P)— |
Chief Justice Taft entered Gar
field hospital for treatment of ]
bladder trouble.
Assured that relief will be ob- |
tained in a few days he plans
and hopes to be able to go south,
probably to Asheville,, North Car
olina for several weeks rest.
With one of his law clerks and
his secretary the Chief Justice
worked for several hours in the
house and at the end had re
covered much of his characteris
tic attitude and laughed with his
customary chuckle.
At a well attended meeting of
the Seward Athletic Club, last
evening, the executive committee
ordered bills to the amount of
$140 paid which clears up the
entire indebtedness against the
organization and still leaves a
good balance in the treasury. The
only dispute seemed to be over
the Gateway bill for publicity.
This, no doubt, will be settled
without any bloodshed.
Reports were heard from the
program, house, athletic and so
cial committees, the latter an
nouncing that an affair will
probably be presented in Feb
ruary.
Director Mrs. Harold Painter,
recently elected, was present. A
few members were absent owing
to illness.
