ATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Fourth Avenue Bldg., Seattle, Wash. According to the Coordinator of Fisheries, con- trary to the belief that meat rationing has increased civilian consumption of fish, civilians in the United States have been eating less fish, even during periods of strict meat rationing than they eat in normal times when plenty of meat was available. Per capita consumption of fish and fish products by civilians in the United States, always comparatively low, now has dropped to 9.8 pounds per year, in- cluding fresh, canned and cured varieties. But men and women in the armed forces have | been getting twice as much. Before the war the average American ate 133 pounds of fish each year—more than the average Australian, far less than the average Jap who ate 556 pounds of fish a year, the average Swede with 52 pounds and the Britisher’s 35 pounds Before the war Americans ate some 25,000,000 pounds a year of imported sardines and about $5,- 000,000 worth of canned crab from Japan yearly, But while the average consumption of fish is less in this country, apparently more persohs are eating fish than before. The heaviest market always has been on the coasts, but now Chicago is becoming fish conscious. In 1939 only 48,000,000 pounds were sold in Chicago and last year this figure was 84,000,000 pounds Most of the fish produced, of course, goes for the armed forces and lend-lease requirements. More than half of the canned salmon produced has gone for such purposes. At Last Synthetic Quinine £ (New York Times) The war has brought forth many a wonder of research but none more wonderful than the success of Drs. Robert B. Woodward and William E. Doering in synthesizing quinine. Behind this outstanding achievement stands nearly a century of vain effort- vain partly because organic chemistry had not de- veloped the conceptions and techniquas required. Yet the failures contributed much to ultimate success by indicating the path to be pursued ‘The story begins in 1856 with William H. Perkin, | the brilliant Englishman who vainly tried to synthesize quinine simply by massing carbon, hydrogen, nitro- gen and oxygen atoms together in the hope that they would obligingly form quinine. They refused. Yet out of the failure came Perkin's mauve, first of the coal-tar dyes and a huge coal-tar industry. Not until the Germans, Rabe and Koenigs, determined the structure of the quinine molecule was success possible. Two chemicals may be indistinguishable to the analyst | vet totally different in their properties. Structure | explains the properties. The synthesis of quinine re- ‘(!uced itself to the duplication of Rabe and Koenigs' | structure. Drs. Woodward and Doering must there- | fore be regarded as chemical architects. Even though they had Rabe and Koenigs' blueprint their task was immensely difficult. That they accomplished their synthesis in only fourteen months is a tribute to their ability. Tt is not likely that this brilliant achievernent !'will soon relieve the Government of its quinine wor- ries. The synthetic product is made step by step in a procedure so complicated that the cost is at present prohibitive. This once held true for many of the synthetic dyes, drugs and flavors that are now so cheap. It also held true for what is erroneously called synthetic rubber. Hence we have good reason to think that synthetic quinine will ultimately dethrone cinchona bark. It does not follow that the makers of natural quinine face ruin. In the extraction of quinine from cinchona bark by-products are won for which there are unsuspected uses. Research can do much to discover and develop these uses. For re- | search is not only a destroyer but a creator. Ilashinglon 1 Another big ing up new tires from dealers them through (Continued trom rage One) | company, such as Hongkong.

A two-day celebration, comprising between 50 and 60 events in which it was expected from 400 to 500°contestants would be entered was planned for the Fourth of July by the special committe¢ appointed by the Chamber of Commerce and a report made. That people who had not visited it did not realize the good work that was being done for the Territory by the Alaska Agricultural Col- lege and School of Mines, was the opinion of B. D. Stewart, of the Bureau of Mines, who had returned from Fairbanks and other sections of Alaska. A big brown bear, which for a moment seemed in mind of disputing the right of way, was encountered this day by Claude Ericson, pro- mobile, Mrs. Ericson and Mrs. Emil Gastonguay. The scene of the encounter was at Lemon Creek, about 100 yards south of the bridge across the stream. Mr. and Mrs. Frank H.
