contrary the finer the silver the more

Silver kept In room with open gas

The silver that il used daily can Be
kept in excellent condition by wash
ing thoroughly In soft warm watsr
and soap every day. All such silver
should be washed well every second

Frederick Cramer, his wife and

One night Cramer came home In an

and only a moment to make It In.
What would the everyday son do in
such a case?
Has he a right to shoot down his
father to save his mother? Should
he not be impartial? Would 1t not be
better to fight than to shoot? Is q son
justified In killing his father to save
his mothers life?
Other sons have been called upon
to decide, just as Theodore Eiler has
had to decide, and in the twinkling Of
an eye, too And occasionally even q
daughter has been forced to make the
same decision in moments time.
Only two weeks ago 15-year-old

said when the shooting was over.

The boy upstairs heard the cry.
Then he heard his father shout out:

The Delaware May Become A Famous
Salmon Stream

w. E. Meehan, State Commissioner Of
Pennsylvania Fisheries, says that he is
sanguine plan for making the Delaware
a famous salmon stream would be sue
cessful. About four years ago the Com
missioner planted upward of 10000 sal
mon eggs in tributaries to the Delaware,
and since then as many salmon eggs as
he could obtain have been planted annual.
ly to stock the stream.
Mr.. Meehan says that this year
he expected to plant 100, 900 Atlantic sal
mon eggs which he is to receive from
Charles g. Atkins, superintendent of the
Craig Brook Station, East Orland, Me.
Eggs of this Atlantic coast fish he had
been endeavoring to obtain, he said, for
four years, but had been unsuccessful
until this year because of their compare
tive scarcity, only two Maine rivers-the
Kennebec and Penobscot-yielding sub
ply.
Several years will elapse before the
Delaware will furnish salmon fishing. Mr..
Meehan explained that after being hatch
ed the young fish will remain in the
smaller streams where planted until next
fall, when they will enter the Delaware
and remain there for a year. At the end
of that time they will seek the Atlantic
ocean. where they will apparently disap-
pear for four years, when they will return
to the Delaware to spawn.
