Mrs. Charles A. Dunkelberg, of
Seelyville, fell last spring, and injured
her right shoulder. 1t panied her con-
siderably, but she did not pay much at
tention to it. Finally she could stand it
no longer, and was taken to Scranton

} X-ray, it revealed the fact that her arm
was broken close to the shoulder joint.

State Fish Commissioner Meehan
has completed his work with the Tr-
State Fish Commission and expects that
the legislation to be adopted this winter
by the Legislatures of three States will
prove very valuable to the Delaware
river. Game and food fish are well
cared for and different regulations made
for the river below Trenton. Mr.. Meehan
says that he believes the suggestion that
appeals be allowed from the convictions
in magistrates courts and tho abolition
of the system of giving half the fines as
rewards for informers or special war
dens will meet general favor, as they will
remove causes of vigorous objections
from fishermen throughout the counties
where numerous arrests have been made.

that it will concentrate all of the bust
ness under one responsible head and do

extent. At present there are nine war
dens, although the Commissioner is au-
thorized to name twelve.
