At the came time there is probably iw no city in the world which ought to have as good fish markets as New Yorl, where fish can be supplied so abundantly, and, with proper markets, so economically. “Thousands. of tons of fish which might be used are thrown away in the harbor and thousands of tons are sent to Barren Island to be converted into fertiliser because of the lack of proper facilities for reaching consumers. Many car- Joads of fish are shipped trom New York to other cities which should be consumed here.” The fact is Now Yorkers are feeble fish-eaters. Many homes consider fish once a week enough. The only apparent explanation is that seafood 4s too simple and too cheap. Tho average New Yorker is all for cutting down the cost of living —bdut not quite down to plain living. s ° * b Hits From Sharp Wits. -.
