Rainy weather can't dampen the ar
dor Of the Red Cross Stamp saleswo-
men.
When the receipts for yesterday we're
counted this morning at the District
headquarters in the Corcoran building,
1t was found that the young women
stationed at Dulin G. Martins had
broken record and that a goodly num-
Der of the ''stiCkers" were sold at other
points where the volunteer saleswomen
are conducting the campaign.
Down at the City Postoffice the sale
was not so large as was expected in
the early days Of the campaign, but
the receipts show an increase daily
as the time for mailing Christmas pack
ages shOTtens.
At woodward & Lothrop's, at Kann's.
at the National Safe Deposit Company
and at the American Security and TrUst
Company the stands are polling big re-
ceipts and the high water mark is being
gradually raised.
Next week will mark the beginning
Of the night campaign, which Is eX-
pected to swell the receipts to a marked
degree. The night stands VIII be at
the Postoffice, at Kann's. and at Wood
ward & Lothrop's. The young women
who have the sale in charge in the day
have volunteered to work overtime for
the night campaign They will he
chaperoned by the women who are en-
cheering the campaign.

FISHING FOR SHARKS.
Large Specimens Caught Along the
Mexican Coast.

Vera Cruz Correspondence Mexican Herald
The shark fishing season is on here now
and furnishes quite a pastime for those
addicted to such dangerous sports Tho
sharks seem to be holder than usual very
large ones coming into the bay, while
generally they keep out toward the en-
trance.
Yesterday quite large one was caught
from one of the piers 1t measured over
two meters in length and caused quite an
exciting battle before the fishermen got
the second harpoon into it, This morning
another much larger one was caught by
some fishermen in a boat 1t was only
subdued after a hard struggle and finally
tOWed alongside the sea wall and hoiSted
out with a derrick. The animal was near
three meters long and was still alive after
being hofsted out onto the dock, and il
slashed around al lively rate causing
the crowd that had gathered to see il to
scatter in all directions To avoid its enor-
nous tail. After being killed the animals
liver was removed and ii mea sured more
than three feet in length. This furnishes
very fine transparent oil that is used
for many purposes.
Only a short time ago Capt. Washburn
of the Ward lines tug Neptune caught
one of these monsters and came very near
losing out with him, as the fingers OF
both hands were so badly burned by the
line which held the shark that he was
laid up for several DAYS with handaxed
hands.

DRINKING AMONG WOkIEN-BY DR. MADISON C. PETERS

wines and LIQUORS OF all kinds is a matter
of common observation, and scenes that
shocked us ten years ago are now passed
without comment. Indeed. SO common
is the drinking that the situation is often
a source OF embarrassment to the woman

The plain lesson of history is that the
last symptom of national decline is found
in womaniy folly. Corruption may spread
far and wide and do much harm In the
community, but there is hope for both
the church and the state SO long as the
wives and mothers. the daughters and
sisters retain their moral integrity. When
that is gone all is gone Purity and
worth find their last retreat in tbs
