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.
One big factor in the season will
be the fact that more rigid enforce
ment of the laws has been carried
out through the winter through or-

RETIRE TEACHERS AT

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.
