FISH CANNING GIVES LIVING TO ESKIMOS Plant Established by Danish Government to Afford Em ployment to People. How the Eskimos live in icy Greenland, one of the most forbidding of all inhabited areas, is related in the following bulletin from the Na tional Geographic Society, based on a radio dispatch from the MacMillan Arctic expedition: "Aside from its mines of coal and • •ryolite, Greenland is as free of in dustry and manufacture as it is of agriculture, husbandry or forestry. The rock lace-work border between s< - e cap and sea offers no opportunity for farming or herding and a two'- inch tree produces little lumber. But there are thousands of suitable har hors to which a kayak or a small wooden boat can retreat from the storm. Fishing Only Industry. "The Eskimo has been repulsed by a barren land which, however, wel comes him cordially when fish ar< piled on his deck or walrus or sea drag at his towline. It is natural iherefore that* the only industrial plant we saw in Greenland should bt related to fishing. "Near the town of Holstenborg i: a small but modern factory for can •ling halibut. There girls, in bright bead collars, work for 40 cents a day solder cans, weigh the firm white flesh or scrub sections of the big fish in chilly tubs of sea water. *'ln the north, as elsewhere, civiliza tion has been working its way with primitive peoples. What has meant wealth to Gloucester has meant in creasing want to the kayaker, and the Danes have sought to provide employment for those Greenlanders who, while developing tastes for im ported articles, are farming their once productive half acres less profit ably than before. The halibut can nery at Holstenborg is an attempt to enable a. settlement to live through co-operation at a time when individual skill and initiative are on the wane. Sons of kayakers, who would brave any storm, get seasick on the big halibut schooner and it is hard to find efficient men at any price com tnensurate with possible return. Trapping White Whales. “Greenland halibut is perfection in fish food, and a sale is gradually be ing developed for canned halibut pro duced In a factory which answers a demand, not for food or profit, hut for employment by those who would otherwise lack it. Sukkertoppen has become prosperous by running nets between islands and trapping white whales. The whale factory, around which the entire economic life of the town centers, can be provided with 800 carcasses in a season. “Holstenborg depends on a big flat fish to keep bright l>oots on women and fat cheeks on its babies. "The halibut is the king of those Tish whose wandering eyes and shift ing body planes make them seem de formed when they are actually highly developed for the life they lead. Al though the life history of the halibut is still unknown, a study of these fiat fish leads one to think that dur ing growth one eye migrates across the head and that the body axis shifts. “Not only because of his shifty eye and turnable spine is the halibut in- 1 teresting, but he is also able to change ; the color of his skin to match that oi j the bottom near which lie lies. In [ some mysterious way this ability to | play cameleon is connected with eye- I sight, and a severing of the optic nerve robs the halibut of its protean I ability to camouflage himself against | the home he has chosen and the fur- j niture amid which he moves. Only by | keeping his eyes open can the halibut j work out a color scheme of his own. ] So commercial fishermen prevent the j flesh from becoming discolored by j Using the fish's own body as a blinder ! and laying his eyes down. “When a schooner arrives in port 3 People Out of 4 Have Foot Trouble It is estimated that 70% to 80%, or about three quarters of the shoe-wear ing public, suffer from some form of foot trouble, says the “Boot and Shoe Recorder.” (Atiffvst . 192 o) Are you one of them ?

As the huge fish ' are lifted to the wharf the first opera tion is to cut the head, which forms a I considerable portion of the body, and tons of these are thrown into the har j bor or given to the poor of the town. Just before night one sees pairs of trousered girls bringing home baskets of fish heads, which are split and hung from poles to keep them from the dogs and allow them to dry. These drying heads give flavor to the town and make its scent as vivid as are the j local colors, in which bright beads | have so large a part. “Out in the harbor is. the towering hulk of the old Peru, a gallant ship which was once sent to the relief of Nansen, hut is now used as a floating pier. Nflke the primitive peoples of the North, this venerable vessel has a flat nose and high ch#ek bones, so that it seems as though it could float broad side as easily as go ahead. An old sailor down in Maine described such a vessel by saying that if a bucket fell overboard under her bowsprit, she would bump it ahead of her for a week before she would get past it. This old vessel marks one stage in the Royal Danish Trading Company. The shiny in cans of the Holstenborg Cannery, filled to the top with the firm flesh of he northern halibut, mark another tage in modern man's effort to adopt nimself to changing surroundings, as he king of flatfish does in shifting ye and body axis and changing the olor of his skin."
