A new industry, arising from the
necessities of war times, has come
to ths fore on the Pacific coast. At
Grays Harbor, Wash., a company is I
now operating a whale fleet to supply
meat, oils and leather to the trade. |
It is said the company realizes suf­
ficient from the fertilizer by-prod«ict1
of each whale to pay the cost of
capture, about $375; leaving a huge
revenue from the sale of meat at
from 10 to 12 cents per pound, oil at
a high figure, and the skin for leath
era. The Industry Is a most profit-
able one and will become more gen-
eral aiong the coast. In the mean-
time the lucky ones who are engag-
ing in it before the whales become
scarce, are enjoying fabulous returns.

Appearance of the American Soldier
Has Always Impressed Observers

By GERTRUDE P. BISHOP
Several foreign pa|M«rs ha\e remarked on the appearance of the
American aoklicr, an a type no strongly set in its individuality that it has
evoked interest in a world whose Jaded vision can but picture men
khaki.
What •” ♦’•'u h<ta gained such wide attention? It is the American
look that expression of intensified keenncM, the look connoting eager-
ncM. zest, and best of all still unsatisfied interest tn the world.
As far back as 1777, when Burgovne with his Hessians surrendered
to the colonial army after the battle of Haratoga, that same impression
of the American expression «as apparent. A Hessian prisoner wrote in
his memoirs:
"Ur passed through the American camp in which all the regiments
stood under arms Not one of them was uniformly elad^ each had on the
clothes which he wore in the fields, the church or the tavflrn
“They stood, however, like soldiers; well arranged and with a
military air, in which there was but little to find fault. All the muskets
had bayonets, and the sharpshooters had rifles. The u,en all stiawi so
still we wen’ filled with wonder. Not one of them made a single motion
as if he would sjaak with his neighbor. Nay, more, all'the lads that stood
there in rank and file, kind nature had formed so tfun, so slender, so
nflkvous, that it was a pleasure to look at them, and w<« were all surprised

If the Heasian's ghost returned today, he would still find "the slim,
nervous lads that stood in rank ami file.” with the sajue silent expression
of courage and fire but now clad in khaki in place of homespun
