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

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 ?
The time to correct most
shoe ills, it points out, is
when the shoes are obtained.
By getting correctly made
shoes zvhicli fit properly.
Isn’t that reasonable ?
True, anyway. The

I with many of its cargo still alive the
bins are full of fish, all stacked with
I the white side tip. 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."

One of the most Important measures
In the proposed bill Is a clause provid
ing for the confinement of any person
by a commission of two judges and
one alienist, after the person has been
convicted of two felonies.
Dr. William J. Hickson, director of
the psycopathlc laboratory here, de

crime almost at its source, since 75
per cent of the confirmed criminals
