MAKES C0NTORTI0NlST
OF THE DOG CATCHER
Irate Owner Twists Leg About His
Head and Leaves Canine
Chaser Helpless

NEW YORK, March 22.-Just ten
minutes after "Dave" Steinfeld had
been inaugurated yesterday as Official
dog catcher of Nutley, N. j. ne was
reclining gracefully in one OF the prin-
cipal mud puddles of the village with
an irate citizen anchored on his chest.
Before his first days work was mn
ished he had sampled the soil of half
n dozen other streets and had felt the
fsts of some of Nutley's first families.
In several instances the prompt ar
rival of "Chief' Booth, the police force,
cheated the coroner out of a job: =,
eve had a perfectly corklng .lme,
laughed Dave last night. as he felt OF
two loosened teeth. "Outside OF get
ting mussed up and having my clothes
sliced and stopping few upper cuts
with nv face, I didn't get any the
worst of it. And, besides, I'm 10
ahead of the game. | grabbed SIX
dogs at a dollar a dog
Dave is % years old, built near tne
sidewalk and doesn't smoke, drink nor
chew He is reputed to be worth
S15 900 all of which he accumulated
through his activities as dog catcher:
He has been the official dog catcher OIL
Essex. Union and Morris counties Tor
several years. and when Nutley rolks
asked him to extend his operations TO
their village he voted aye.
To show that ne meant ouoiliooS'
Yesterday Dave grabbed Allen Ster-
rats dog right after being sworn;
Three of Sterratt's employees happened
along and rescued the pup. after whlcn
thew proceeded to toss Dave around
like a rubber ball. He picked himself
up and attempted to catch valuable
setter owned by George Collins.
Collins came along and they clinched::
Collins succeeded in twisting one OF
steinfelds legs till his foot caught pc
hind his head. like contortionist.
Collins left Dave" in this position,
helpless. in the middle of the road road;
nearly half an hour until John Frazier
of Brookdale drove along and re-
leased him.
A few minutes later Dave went down
AGAIN when he tried to abduct Jim
Bauvier's dog. 1t was that way. all
day long Nutley had the time OF It's
life.
The six dogs that Dave bagged were
stray mongrels. None of the insurance
companies will take a, chance on Dave.

WORKING GIRLS AWAKENING

"OnIy the working girl knows what
the working girl needs" said Miss Jo-
sephine Casey, organizer of working
girls unions. Men may mean all
right, but they cannot legislate reforms
about things they do not know any
thing about. Girls in factories stores
and shops sometimes work under ter
rible conditions and reformers find
their greatest difficulties lie in edu-
eating those whose good they desire to
the realization of the reform and
change necessary. Once let the work.
ing women awake to the power of the
vote and it will be gained by sweep
ing majority. The vast army of wo-
men toilers are coming to the UNDER
standing of what representation would
mean to them. Those protected by
home and husband should want to win
out for those less fortunate and less
protected

CHILD LABOR ENCOURAGED

Clubwomen and women's organiza-

very sorry to know that the legislature
at fhe jnstigation of the Cotton Manu-
facturers' association, has refused to
pass the bill to do away with such
labor Children twelve years or over
may work to aid their parents and may
be regularly employed at thirteen,
Girls under fifteen may not work al
night, but there is no rule preventing
boys. Representatives of 300 textlle
mills are said to have '1abored" with
the members Of the legislature to pre-
vent the bill from being passed.

A puzzling question to all seagoers-
that of the heightened of ocean waves
and how to measure them-is answer
ed by the Navy photographic Office in
a recent publication. Determination
of the length Of waves at sea may be
obtained by direct comparison of the
length of. the observing vessel with
the length from crest to crest of the
waves over which she is riding, and
when ships are sailing in company, a
good estimate of the length of the
waves may be made by comparing the
known length of a neighboring ship
from the distance from crest to crest
of the successive waves.
Another method of measuring the
length of waves consists in towing a
log line astern. of a vessel and noting
the length of the line when a buoy
attached to the after end floats on the
next wave crest abaft that on which
the stern of the vessel momentarily
floats.
Replying to an answer regarding the
height of ocean waves, the Hydrogra-
pric Office says it's measurements and
estimates from mariners and obser-
vers at sea indicate that the average
height of all the waves running in a
gale in the open ocean is about twenty
seet.
About forty feet" it says, sis a
common estimate of the height of the
large waves in a severe gale on the
North Atlantic, and this estimate is
really not compatible with a recorded
average of a little more than twenty
feet"
