SOMETHING WRONG
SOMEWHERE
—Continued From Page three—
North Cape had broken her shaft
between Moira Rock and Adams
Point, and was drifting out to sea.
?le wanted my launch to tow her
inshore where she could be secured.
I thought my little two-horse, two
cycle engine would not have power
enough for the purpose and sug
gested that the Dolomi company
had two large boats moored above,
and that we try to get one of
them. The store-keeper' stated
that the Eurus was dismantled and
out of commission, but that if we
could get the Gray to go, to take
it. He went himself with the man
to the engifle room, and the engi
neer and the man tried for an hour
to start the engine but failed.
Then the man and I started out
to the North Cape in my own boat.
There was a good moo* and it was
a still night. The wind was blow
ing seaward about as fast as we
were traveling—about 5 miles an
hour— so we did not feel it. There
was no sea only a dead lumpy swell
that turned my stomach.
Before leaving Dolomi harbor I
spoke to the man about gasoline,
saying I had enough to get to the
North Cape ouly. He said they
had gasoline on board so I did not
take the time to get back and get
any. Later on when about halfway
out he asked if distillate would do.
Then I learned that he had about
three quarts of gasoline.
Note:—After more along this
the writer says that he is in no
wise connected with the Dolomi Co.
ang signs his name “G. H. Acton"
Another man who signs his name
"Frank Shearer” says that he
worked nearly one hour helping to
fix the boat to go to the relief of
the North Cape.

SALONIKI IS CALLED THE
MOTHER OF JEWS
ATHENS, Feb. 24.—Saloniki was
under the rule of the Turks for
six centuries before it came into
the possession of the Greeks again,
but it never has become a Turkish
city, although it contains more than
forty mosques. More than half of
the population consists of Jews,
who practically control all the trade
and commerce.
The Jews emigrated from Spain
during the sixteenth century and
they are still called “Spaniols.” At
the beginning of -the seventeenth
century the city had thirty-six Jew
ish congregations and its high
school for rabbis was famous thru
out the east. Samuel Usque, a
Jewish poet of that time called the
city “the mother of the Jews, a
paradise the like of which can be
found nowhere in the wide world."
The historian Hadschi Khalfa re
ports that the rugs and carpets
produced by the Jewish weavers of
Saloniki were more famous than
those of Smyrna and Persia . The
Jewish merchants of the city sup
plied Occidental countries with the
products of the Orient and sent
their ships to Venice, Genoa, Mar
seilles, Spain and even England and
the German Hansa ports.
Formerly the 65,000 Jew's of Sa
loniki lived i^> a Ghetto, but more
than 2.000 of their homes were
destroyed by fire in September,
1890, and they are now' scattered
all over the city. They form about
55 per cent of the population. The
WANT COLD STORAGE
OUT OF BUSINESS
(From Pacific Fisherman)
A bill has been introduced in
Congress (H. R. 0674) to prevent
the sale or transportation in inter
state' or foreign commerce of fish
held in cold storage for a period of
more than three months. The pas
sage of such a bill would work Ir
reparable wrong to the cold storage
interests of the United States.
The investigations of the govern
ment scientists and those of various
university laboratories show con
clusively that frozen fish retain
their wholesomeness for long per
iods of time; the exact period in
many of them has not yet been
determined, but it is known that
the flounder which is a notoriously
hard fish to keep, at the end of
two years in cold storage can hard
ly be told from a fresh fish when
thawed out. No cold storage deal
er, however, wishes to hold fish
that length of time, as the expense
of doing so would be too great, and
besides, the demand for fish is so
great that the winter season usual
ly sees the frozen fish stocks clean
ed up.
On this coast the fresh fish deal
ers usually pick out the choicest
fish and freeze them during the
summer months, with expectation
of selling them during the winter,
when the weather is such that the
fishing boats cannot operate ex
cept under great disadvantage. A
time limit of three months would
kill this business, as the frozen fish
rarely reaches the Eastern markets
much before January.
Such a law would virtually drive
the mild cure dealers out of busi
ness. In this business the fish
are taken during the summer
months , and slack salted. They
must then be kept in cold storage
until sold. In this condition fish
will keep indefinitely. As a great
part of this fish is sold abroad
the condition of the market some
times requires that they be held
until markets improve 'or transpor
tation can be obtained on the few
vessels now plying between the
United States and Europe. With
such a time limit in force no dealer
would dare risk packing such fish
and thus we would have to abandon
this important branch of the in
dustry.
The enactment of such a law
would virtually drive nine-tenths of
the cold storage dealers out of busi
ness, would reduce the quantity of
fish available for the consumer “and
greatly enhance the cost of same
to him, and would very materially
cut down the quantity of fish pur
chased from the fishermen of this
coast by the dealers, which would
react disasterously on the people
supplying the thousand and one
needs of the fishermen, and we
trust that every effort will be made
by the trade at large to bring to
the attention of Congress the in
justice of such a measure.
rest of the inhabitants consist of
25 per cent Greeks, 15 per cent
Turks and 5 per cent Bulgars, Ser
bians and Italians.
The Jews still speak a corrupt
Spanish, but most of them also un
derstand Greek, Bulgarian, Serbian
Italian or Turkish. In the past
three centuries they have given to
Turkey some of her greatest states
men.

GERMANS REACH END OF
PATIENCE
THE HAGUE, Feb. 26.—Berlin
newspapers publish a dispatch from
the United States relative to the
criticism in the American press of
Ambassador von Bemstorff on the
ground that he misused his posi
tion to influence public opinion.
The Cologne Gazette has published
two editorials on this subject de
fending the ambassador.
It attributes attacks on him to
exigencies of party politics in Am
erica and continues:
“Germany _ must go ahead in the
course chosen without regard to
the changing currents of American
politics. Otherwise her head will
grow dizzy a nd her foot will
slip.
“If England succeeds in influenc
ing the American government to
enter a protest,” the Gazette ads,
“we shall prefer to let the breach
come rather than to yield to the
protest; and that is the will of
the „ entire German people. We
reached the limit of our patience
as far as America is concerned.”

REFLECTIONS ^)F A ..
BACHELOR GIRL
(ByHelen Rowland in P.-I.)
The quickest and surest way for
a man to get his mind off a wo
man is to marry her.
Any girl, with a little intuition
and a little experience, can distin
guish between a sentimental “con
noisseur” and a mere scalp “col
lector” by the way in which a man
kisses her the very first time.
Fire-proof buildings, water-proof
coats and hole-proof hosiery are
among the marvels of the age; but,
alas, why has nobody yet had the
brilliancy to invent fool-proof mar
riage contract.
' “Short measure!” What a man
tells the doctor about his habits,
what a woman tells the jury about
her age, what a husband tells his
wife about his avocations and what
the average man tells a woman
about anything.
» _
Next to two appendicitis patients
arguing as to whose operation was
the more dangerous, perhaps the
most amusing thing is to hear two
grass widows disputing as to whose
husband was the most fascinating
ly wicked.
It is folly to say that a youth of
20 cannot love a rich widow of 40.
He can—just as he loves the lamp
post on which he leans—until he
can get the strength and equili
brium to walk away from it.
The days may be getting longer,
but somehow that never seems to
make a man any less anxious to
improve them bjf stringing them
out through three-quarters of the
night.
