Quackery
NO MAN can prophesy the re-
sult of a war if war comes to Europe.
Lord Horder, who recently addressed the British Associa- tion, was not over-stating the case when he said that the "salvaging of the world" may depend on whether Western Europe and America succeed in preserving their individual civili- sation.

The dictators may possibly be sincere in the belief that their methods are a panacen for the strain of the times and effective remedy against anarchy. But medicine has nothing to say for these nostrums, Parading or dragcon- ing patients in the mass is at best a form of quackery; and when the cost of the prescription is considered, the proposed vic- tims of the experiment may well tremble. "What matter the colour of their shirts if they are soon to be their shrouds ?" If civilisation is really to be saved, it must be by some means less dangerous than mass hypnotism and the discipline of the barrack yard.
The Smallest Village
IS even more "exclusive" to be an Eldonian in England to-day than an Etonian. For there are only nine Eldonians-- inhabitants of what was recent ly described in the press as the smallest and loneliest village in England. Morcover, there are no Old Eldonians. Another odd fact about this tiny hamlet, which is four miles from the nearest mail box, or "pillar box," and telegraph office, is that it is in Hampshire; and those who have the feeling that solitude has fled to the remoter corners of the Island should be en- couraged at the thought of its lurking so close to the centre of things.
Yet now that Eldon has been "news," explorers will be push- ing into darkest Hampshire;
and few of them will be as sensitive as the poet who wrote:
The finger-post says Mamble,
And that is all I know Of the narrow road to Mamble,
And should I turn and go To that place of lazy token,... That lies above the Teme, There might be a Mamble broken
-That was liasoen in a dream. Y So that the Nine Worthion will have to take care, if they aro not to find the great world, in stead of the owl, hooting at thair, gates, and, perhaps, chas- ing them to pillar and poal wa

"HEN you gather round the family hearth and the winter Wind howls down your chimney- think of us."
It was
man with the weather-beaten face, in loose blue jersey and sea boots, who spoke.
Well, where will you be?" I asked.
"I'll be looking into ice and fog somewhere in the White Bea," he replied," and I'll be lucky if I can see the boys in the fish pounds for'ard handling the cod."
The White Sea is around 1,500 miles from Huli. This laconic Cap- tain Courageous was master of a. little ship precisely 170 feet long. with a gross tonnage of no more than 550 and as little free-board us matters.
When the wind attacks the six- miles-deep Atlantic with a 100- miles-an-hour hurricane force, it may raise mighty mountains of water, dig deep valleys, but will keep its worst for the continental shelf.
There the ocean floor shelves stcuply up and the sea churns into a great confusion of waters.
Nowhere does it do this with more violence than north of the Scandinavian Cape and cast of it. There, unnumbered, innumerable, King Cod speeds to his spawning grounds, travelling hundred and twenty fathoms deep.
I
VERYBODY know o Bomething abut tho Royal Navy. We sing patriotic songs in praise of it.
Are there any ballads 'about the men of the ashing flects? There may be, but I've never heard of them.
Why are they unsung? Becausa they are silent. Because they take their job as a matter of course.
Wo may look to the Royal Navy. for protection in time of war; but It is to the men of our great fishlag flect that we must look, war or peace, year in year out, for a large part of that food which is life.
Yet that seems to be the fleet.

nobody knows about or thinks about.
There are nearly two thousand British trawlors. Just now, they are fanning out into the grey, broken waters of the North Sea, from Hull and Grimsby, from Aberdeen and the lesser ports of the industry.
They are bound for the Faroe Islands, for the grant Icelandic fishing grounds, for bleak Bear Is- land, for the White Sea and the Murmansk Coast of Russia.
Last year they brought homo 21 million' hundredweight of fish valued at £15,000,000..
Eighty-five per cent. of all fish enten in this country comes to the table from the fah pounds of our deep-sea trawling acets.
The other Afteen per cent. is made up by the delitors who fah, often in sight of land, the pelagic, surface-swimming. fish, of which the chief is the humble her- ring.
It is the trawler fleet that is all Important, and it is to this Deet that we should have to look in the event of war for one of the most important of our foods. KUN

It was not until the beginning of the nineteenth century that med!- cal men noted the fact that the fishermen were using a remedy of obvious value` as yet unknown to scienco.
It was only when science dis- covered the vitamin, and bio- chemists hunted down this myste rious element, that the secret af the cod was out.
In its oil are stored the two ku- dispensable vitamins-A and D.
Much is now know of the life- style of the cod. It swima in the mid-water of the Atlantis Ocean, feeding on minute marine organ isis and upon sea vegetation.

The cod is not the only fish whose liver stores an oil of value to man, but it is the most im- portant.

bags of not, some 100 to 120 feet long, acoop up the great cod by their thousand.
A trawler is a miniature floating. factory. She carries her own boll- Ing plant for extracting the oll from the livers of the cod. This is now done as soon aa they are caught and gutted.
Seventy tons of ice in the traw- ter's hold preserve the fish fresh.
Tied up again, with 3,000 or more miles of steaming behind her, the stout little ship discharges her cargo. The oil is pumped out of her and conveyed to chemical Iaboratories for analysis and grad- Ing.
