and speculation surrounding the Beattie
case. The wIckedness Of the woman in

SPONGE FISHING ILLEGAL.
Revenue-cutter Service Faces Trou.
BILE in Florida Keys

Considerable trouble is being given Of
ficials of the Revenue-cutter Service,
in their efforts to regulate sponge fish
ing among the Florida keys.
In a report just received by officials in
Washington, the captain of the cutter
Forward, which was sent there to en-
force the law. says he found a number
of sChooners and steam sloops on the
sponge fishing grounds, but he was un-
able to catch any of them with any
sponges illegally taken.
All Of these vessels are equipped with
diving apparatus which is always idle
when the Forward is sighted. It is an
easy matter for a vessel to suspend div
ing and to get rid of sponges taken In
violation of the law before the revenue
cutter can get close enough to them to
catch them in the act.

TORPEDO BOATS ASHORE.
Charleston Navy Yard Engineers
Facing KnOtty Problem.

The Navy Department is facing a
problem in its efforts to float the five
torpedo boats which were picked up by
a recent hurricane and lifted high and
dry on shore at the Charleston Navy
Yard. These vessels are forty feet from
the water.
- A torpedo boat is too heavy to be
handled on land. A plan has been de-
vised for floating the boats by engineers
at the Charleston yard. They have de-
cided TO turn powerful streams of water
on the earth under the vessels and wash
away channels from the boats to tide
water. through which they may be float
ed. This seems the only way to get the
boats into the sea

DAINTY SCARFS FOR SUMMER
OF All Kinds and Descriptions, and
Generally More Elaborate Than
Ever,

Marabout and ostrich scarfs are
more elaborate than ever.
There N no end TO the possibilities
that lie within the nufiness OF the
feathers. combined with folds or shir-
rings OF chiffon.
An edg!ng OF black and white mara
bout completes BIT OF feminine
daintiness that would add charm to
any costume.
A fancy bow OF cerise velvet com
bined with chiffon in the same shade
has long ends that would be especial
ly effective on n white frock.
The most popular scarfs have bodies
Of shirred chiffon with edgings OF
marabout that either match or are in
striking contrast.
They are so simple in design that
any woman even passably clever with
the needle can fashion one In an after
noon.
A nun to match is a smart acquisi-
ton and the set looks well with an
evening coat or for theater wear.

WHY THE TURKEY IS BALD
Lost Feathers In Saving the Last
Spark Of Fire, Is the Indian
Legend.

The Indians OF our country have
many legends connected with certain
peculiar habits or customs prevalent
among them. II one should chance to
visit the home OF an old indian be
would perhaps notice a turkey wing
hanging near the FIRE.
This the Indian uses TO fan his FIRE
into a flame and make Il burn bright
ly, or perhaps In the sultry days Of
summer to fan himself II asked why
he uses the turkey wing instead Of the
wing of any other bird he would no
doubt relate the following story:
Many years ago the fire OF the world
was nearly eKtinguished; this hap
pened just at the beginning Of the
winter season. The birds OF the air
were filed with anxiety. for their In
tuition told them they would need
heat
A bird council was held and It was
decided that birds which could ny the
highest should soar into the air and
nee II they could find a spark OF FIRE
anywhere. Tho efforts Of the eagle.
lark and raven were In vain. The
honor was left 10 the little brown
sparrow. who spied a spark Of fire in
the hollow OF an old stump In the
heart cf a deep forest.
The birds flocked around the stump
and tried TO decide VINO should pick
the spark out. But all their efforts
were In vain: TO their dismay they
saw the spark growing smaller and
fainter.
The turkey then volunteered TO try
20 keep the tiny coal alive by tanning
Il with his wings. Day after day the
turkey kept tanning. the heat became
greater each day. until the feathers
were singed OF the turkeys head. II
one notices carefully he will see Jumps
on the head OF turkey that appesr
as blisters.
II is believed that the turkey was so
badly burned that all turkeys since
have had bald heads and wear the
blisters as a memento OF the bravery
OF the turkey. The faithful turkey
lost his beautiful feathers. but be gave
back FIRE TO the world; so in his honor
and as memorial TO his faithfulness
the Indian uses the turkey wing to
make his fire burn.-The Red Man.

LATEST IDEAS IN HOSIERY
smartly Dressed Girls Havs Returned
TO the "cIock"--s!!k Stockings
Always the Proper Thing.

"Clocked" hosiery. such as was
worn years ago, has become the new
est fad for smartly dressed girls. All
the stockings for day wear show this
embroidery up the side, sometimes In
self-colors, but more often in one con-
trasting. Red or white on blacb is
beyond doubt the best.
This form OF decoration has already
displaced openwork for the carefully
dressed woman. II has finally been
decided that lacy effects are not good
for the street, but that they should be
reserved for the house and evening
wear. Therefore, elaborate as is the
hosiery for dress use. II Is very plain
for street wear.
Severity in out OF doors dress has
led to adopting an entirely different
quality OF hosiery for that time. Girls
who can afford to, wear silk stockings
always. but they have now at least
three different qualities. When walk
ing, the thin transparent. though
plain, kind is given up.
This is now reserved for the house
In the morning, or when paying visits
in motor in the afternoon.
