Commissioner of Fisheries Frank T. Bell announces that fisherman’s luck has to do with the billions upon billions of fish eggs spawn- | ed every year by parent fish which leave their young to the untender merciés of the sea. What crop, for ex- ample, is going to determine in large measure how much money. mackerel fishermen .will put into the bank during the,fall, an@ the én tire 1940.s¢ason—per Ss agewell. A study of the mackerel fishery sh@ved' the bureau cal the ‘nena Bae deh to 50 per cent from year to year, in the ca’ species. It is the fact that in some yi young mackerel survive the cold, storms ahd hun- gry enemies in the surface water where they This succession of fat and lean yeats makes for ups and downs in the fishery. Were the success of this summer’s spawn- ning known, Bell explains, it would be possible to make a reasonably accurate guess as to the num- ber of fish that will be available when the young of this year reach commercial size. Unfortunately, the bureau of fisheries is without a research ves- sel at the present time for making offshore sur- veys of the relative number of eggs and young on the spawning grounds and for colleeting data on temperatures and other water conditions that af- fect the young. than of ‘this must live, while in other years few survive. A ‘peculiarity of human kind is that it condoles with the physical handicaps of human nature but is scornful of its mental imperfections. We are sorry for a person who loses an arm, a leg or an éye or whe is otherwise physically hurt, but when 4 person is so unfortunate as to become men- tally deranged or whose mind is weakened and shows pevuliarities, we shun his pres- | ence, fail to sympathize with his condition er even mock him in some cases.

Generators for the proposed Postal Telegraph Company plant for Key West have been shipped jand are expected to reach city within the next few days.
