Swedish Food j Profiteers G?t Warning j Stockholm, July 28.?The profits of the Swedish middleman, deafng in necessities, especially fo:>J supplies, are menaced as the result of the investigation into living costs by a commission of experts appointed by the Swedish government. The commission sought information on intermediary profits and their influence on living costs with a view t oeliminating unnecessary profits, thus cutting down retail prices, and has just issued its report. It makes some diastic recommendations. Official action is expected. The commission recommends a reAction in the number of retail stores; that a permanent national statistical bureau be organized by the Social HnorH to studv producers nriee* ?ml that local commissions be appointed' throughout the country to check up on price movements. It is suggested that the theory of cooperative work be introduced in suitable schools as a compulsory subject of study, and emphasizes the importance of closer. 4^ cooperation between producer and j consumer.

I BgEgBBB?tSSBBOBBS Concerning Eels Washington, July 25 (By the Ass ciated Press).?Tha common, ever day, mudhole eel, the problem of fis ermen, especially the small boy, wh< it comes to taking him off a hook, an elusive subject, but his life histoi typifies one of the marvels of the se and recent announcements have add? to his reputation. Reports have just reached here < '.he success of a Danish expedition i '.he Bermudas, in answering the ai :ient question of the eel's orlgl Headed by Dr. Johs. Schmidt, dire .or of the Carlsberg Laboratory, < ^openhagan, the party, on the shi Liana, has been searching the seas ft :even mbnths to find where the e ireeds nnd is hatched. As the eel.ii lustrv is of prime importance in Dei nark, the party was equipped by tl government and several societies i onjunction. Dr. Schmidt has bet naking a special study of the eel ft no re than 15 years. Since at least 350 B. C. sciential lave been trying to find the eel irthplace, and by tracking down th oute found taken by the young eel: Jr. Schmidt placed the breedin grounds between th Bermudas and th -.eeward Islands, where the se eaches a depth of more than a mil Here the most remarkable disco\ ;ry was made: That the Europea ipecies and the American, which var o slightly as to be almost negligible ..1 ? inu iiucuiuitMy so co me layman, bree ide by side and eventually start fc heir later homes, thousands of milt iway, but that neither variety eve joes to the other's fresh wate jrounds. The marvel is, to scientists, accort ng to Dr. H. P. Moore, deputy coir nissioner of the U. S. Bureau c fisheries, that of the millions t roung making the trips, instances c liscovery of the European species i \merican waters, and Y'^e^1"558. hav >een exceedingly rare. And there i 10 interbreeding between the two. The European species, Dr. Schmic ound, deposit their eggs and greed i i section to the south and east of th Bermudas, while the other breeds 1 he south and west of the island The first make a thre year migratio o the shores of Europe from tl <Jorth Sea to Italy, while the secon ourney to the American coast froi Nfew England to the south coast, tal ng only a few months or a year. It was found that the eggs ai latched at dep'.hs of about 200 metre .he young larvae gradually rising i hey grow until some were found o .he surface. It is also true that th arvae vary their depth in the waU iccording to the time of day. At th: >tage, and until they reach coast wt eds, they are known as "leptocephi ide" and are ribbon or leaf-shape ind quite transparent j so transpai >nt, in fact that under a lens the vei ebrae may be counted, the olny mear A dfJawiittintfr Dnwir^aa , TOnt & ropean variety, it was found, ha more vertebrae than the American. The translucent quality is believ to be a means of avoiding peril, as tl leptocephalus is found In schoc along the coast lino in spring ai must undoubtedly form a food f larger fish. As they approach sho brackish water there comes a marv* ?us metamorphosis, they change fro the ribbon shape to the cylindric familiar form, but are 6till trari parent. They become much thick and are even shorter than befoi They gradually assume light lines pigment, though remaining transl :ent for some time, and as the pi ment increases the dark color becom more and more apparent until th< pre of the familiar color. In this connection is pointed o the immense trip the leptocephalb make, those journeying to Europei wateri being three years on the wa so thai, according to Dr. Schmu there are always two migrations < the way, and in early spring, thrc before the first reach shore. As it not until brackish water is reachi that the metamorphosis occurs, tl iiuestion that still puzzles scientis is whether the American species m tures more ranidly than the other, < whether the change of water is ne essary for the change from lptoce halus to elver, as the young eel known. This eel is the san.e as that coug in far inland ponds and mud* streams, and makes a wonderful jolt ney to arrive there. They can live for long perio out of water, as is well kno\ among fishermen, and sometim travel overland, from stream stream, or up the faces of dams a along the sides of rocks, in search sufficient water. It is said the mi remains along the coastal watt while the female makes the inla trip. The three or four inch elvt may easily be picked from the fat of dams or other obstructions as th climb, after a fashion of clinging i der the water film, to the rocks. They live for years in fresh wat the period being variously placed from five years to as many as 2l) n 30 as estimated by the Englishman, Tate Regan. In the fall, the niati eels journey back to the sea. the ma then being from 12 to 18 inches length, and the females nefer I than 18. At the original lireedi places it is believed they sp4wn :i die, as they are never seen agfiin. It is during this fall trip the e fall prey to fishermen, who reap good harvest as they are a prime f, hah. While not so highly prised this country, in Kurope they are ?,> siderable exceedingly high from i North Sea to Italy, and the Dan and Holland industries are of espev importance in those countries. '1 ash are caught in traps similar to t< ster pots or rat traps, entering a m row funnel mouth after the bait, and < being unable to find the outlet, o- It is estimated by the Bureau of y- Fisheries the eel catch in this counh try is more than tnrec and a half nnlin lion pounds annually, valued at more is than a quarter of a million dollars, ry Most American commercial eel fisha, ing is along the Atlantic from New ?d! Kngland to the Chesapeake. While it is not generally known, the af eel has scales, which develop after to 'he elver has lived a year in fresh n. water. They are embedded m the n. slimy skin arrangd in little groups set c- obliquely and at right angles to each other. They may be studied under a ip lens and form a mean* of determining >1' the age of the fish, as they are marked eJ in zones which corresj>oiui to growth i. rings. Scales are formed In the nndi. die of the side and if examined in the le spring the number of the zones will [n correspond to the age of the scale. The in eel is then one year older for the 4 >r first year in fresh water, and another < for his life as a lejjtocephalus. -S By applying thip jraethod u Danish naturalist, Dr. Geihzoe, has shown 4 iL.i that some eels captured in the fall * sJ were as old as 12 and 13 years, and 4 gj Regan estimates others weighing as < ie much as 27 pounds must have been 'Jti ^ ml in ou years or more. ^ e These species should not be confused with the lampfey eel. Dr. Moore * n said, which is equipped with a sucker i y mouth und many sharp teeth w ?th 4 e( which it attaches it elf to other fish. ^ (j sometimes woundk I them deeply. ,v They even attack Urge fish, animals >s and humans, it is s id. i -i Dr. Schmidt's exp dition is now on < ,r the return to Deaiqa k, where it is ex- 4 pected, his discover ts and the other ^ |. results will shortly e announced.
