TROUT FISHERMEN FEAR SEASON WILL GET A BAD START Rain and Snow May Bring Disappointment to Hun dreds Monday With the scores of streams which are favorites of fishermen well stocked with various sizes of trout throughoutth estate, veteran anglers here are predicting the most disap pointing opening of the season in some years due to the heavy snow arl rains of the past week. In spitQ of the conditions, however, it is believed that the' largest propor tion of the old timers will be out early, Monday morning, a number of parties leaving for their favorite grounds to-day. Big Spring at Newviile and the Le tort, near Carlisle are favorites. Streams in the neighborhood of Shlppensburg will have their quotas and the Yellow Breeches, Clear Spring, Pine Grove, Laurel and mountain springs will have their followers on hand Monday. One of the effects of war is the fact that there is a shortage in the bog boots and waders which the devotees of Issak Walton use to brave the cold waters of the opening day. The loss in the ranks of the llshermen caused by the fact that many men are in service is expected to be made up by boys *vho are taking up the sport.

RETIRE TEACHERS AT 62, IS ADVOCATED [Continued from First Page.] being recognized as a champion in improving conditions for the school teachers. He immediately took up the question which is agitating every teacher in the state, namely the bill which was passed in 1917 providing for a retirement fund. He demand ed that this law be properly admin istered and called attention that at present out of an appropriation of Sy!O,000 the sum of SS,OOO goes to 1 pay for the administration. "The teacher must be the one to be benefited, not the administrator," he emphasized in a storm of ap plause. He advocated an increase in school tax, declaring it money well spent. He pledged himself to legis lative effort that will result in a change of the salary minimum, in retaining the competent, and in es tablishing firmly the retirement law. The session was presided over by Lucy W. Glass, president of the State Teachers' League. The Camp Curtin school orchestra, under di rection of Miss Mildred Conkling, led off, followed by an address of welcome by M. T. Thomas, super visor of Harrisburg schools, and a response by Francis S. McGuigan, superintendent of schools of Pitts ton. After speaking. Senator Beidleman remained to take part in the general discussion which developed that a crisis faces this organization. Al though a retirement bill is in op eration. it is not supposed to become effective until 191*. The Attorney General is to make a decision on this shortly. Meanwhile hundreds of teachers over sixty years of age are fearful that they will be dumped without having a chance to enroll in the retirement league. * "I am 72," spoke a gray-haired teacher from a western county. "What am I to do. plow and raise potatoes?" Senator Beidleman here suggested that legislation be enacted ■°o that these veterans can be held another year until they can enroll. Hit al Favoritism The technicalities of the move ment and narrative of what is being done fell to Secretary H. H. Baish, whose big task is to get the country school boards Interested. It is pro posed now to start a campaign through the press. Another aim is to make the job of schoolteacher more or less safe. Mr. Beidleman brought out and others emphasized that county directors are in the habit of "firing" one teacher who may be very competent, to put in a relative or close friend. Mr. O'Donnell related a true incident that happened in the western part of the state when a local boy came back from Army camp and married the When he reached France with Pershing he received the cheerful news that his wife had lost her job for getting married to a soldier fighting for his country. The conference elected a nominat ing committee as follows; Miss Elizabeth S. Baker, W. H. Thomas, D. L. O'Neill, L. B. Byerly and Miss Mary Gibson.

TEST ON A CANNED FOOD MYTH The popular belief that canned foods will spoil and even be danger ous if left in the tin after opening has been made the subject of a tech nical investigation by W. D. Bigelow, chief chemist of the National Can ners' Association, whose results are reported in the American Food Jour nal. Canned milk is usually kept in the tin until used up, sometimes for days, and shows no deterioration, and the result of laboratory rests demonstrated that a tin can differ* little from a tin dish for keeping such foods, so fur as wholesomenesß is concerned. Cans of tomatoes, corn,' string beans, sauerkraut, apples, pineapples and pumpkin were open ed and allowed to stand from one to three 'days, when tho contests were examined chemically for increased acidity and the presence of tin and iron, as well as taste and odor. The increase in acidity was very slight in most cases, and the amounts of tin and iron infinitesimal, while taste and odor were In most cases normal. Dr. Bigelow concludes that on gen- eral principles keeping canned good* in open tina is not good housekeep ! ing, because the can with its "Jagged I edg; is not an attractive dish, and| food emptied into another dish cam be kept to better advantage In cup-i board and refrigerator. So far wholesomeness is concerned, now-' ever, keeping such foods in the canal in which they are packed after open j ing is not harmful in any way. TOO TIRED TO WORK?
