FEMININE MoDEsTY SHOWN UP
Seems to Be Three-Flfths Convention,
One Fifth Provocatlon and
one-Fifth Humbug.

A lady philanthropist, who is great.
~ interested in new hospital for
women, lays stress on the necessity
for a complete staff of women not
only as attendants and nurses, but
also as physicians. Her reasons are
worthy of some attention, remarks
the Argonaut. The hospital, she
says, is for poor women, and poor
women are SO much more modest than
those In easier circumstances. Wom-

shrink from confiding their intimate
physical troubles to the man physi.
clan, whereas their poorer sisters will
often allow their small ailments to
grow into large ones because they
cannot bring themselves to consult a
physician of the opposite sex.
Probably this is true. We have
good authority for believing that
Satan finds some mischief still for
idle hands to do. Idleness always
means familiarity between the sexes,
and familiarity brings a lowering OF
barriers and relaxation of restraints.
Feminine modesty is funny thing
anyway. It may be said paradoxically
that 1t is one of the great facts Of life
that do not exist. Most women have
that kind of modesty that loves to be
outraged. 1t is like he tail of the

corridor of her own house. American
and English women in France will dc
things without the slightest confusion
that they would be incapable of in
their own countries. In point of fact
feminine modesty seems to be three

SERIOUS CONDITION OF THE
FISHERIES OF CHESAPEAKE BAY

Washington, D. c., June 4.-Inquir-
les conducted by the Bureau OF Fish
cries, Department of Commerce, show
that the present fishing season has
been the poorest in many years in
most part of the Chesapeake Basin,
and the aggregate catch of the princi-
pal spring fish, shad and herring, will
be much less than in recent years.
The effects of the diminished run of
| fish will be seen from three to five
years hence, when the reduced prog
eny of this seasons supply comes back
to spawn.
The conditions in the Potomac riv-
err, which may be taken as typical for
all the major streams, are in some
respects the worst in 40 years. The
upper reaches of the river have been
almost barren of fish during the entire
season, and nearly all the shad and
herring fishermen have failed to meet
expenses. At Ferry Landing, the
largest seine on the river, 1900
fathoms long, has discontinued opera
tions in the middle Of the season
owing to the scarcity of fish. In for
mer years this celebrated fishing
shore, with a smaller seine, sometimes
yielded 100000 or more herring at a
maui, and up to 10 or ! 8 years ago took
probably $4,000 to 10000 fish at haul
on an average. Only a few years
back from 1000 to 1900 shad were
frequently taken at one set of the
seine. This year the largest haul was
5000 herring and Zoe shad, while many
times only to 20 shad were taken.
The shad hatcheries operated by the
Bureau on the Potomac and Susque'
hanna rivers have had a very unsuc
cessful season. Their operations af
ford a good criterion of the condition
of the fishery in the fresh waters, be
cause the whole field is covered and
nearly every ripe fish that is caught
by the fishermen is stripped of its eggs
by spawn-takers sent out from the
hatcheries. At the shad hatchery OF
the Potomac river, the egg collections
amounted to 29,9SS,O00 las compared
with SS,727,OOO in 1912. The hatcher!
at the mouth of the Susquehanna rive
has been able to secure only 6,000,O0'
eggs to date, as compared with 10000
900 in 1912, which season was regarded
as an absolute failure.
Shad culture on a scale that is en-
tirely feasible can, with minor pre-
tective legislation, maintain the sha,
fishery in almost any stream, but. sha

Since 1887 the improvement in the

directions-increasing efficiency and

electricity that whereas the first car

Doesn't it? Then read this:

Just use TIz. It's not like anything
else for the purpose you ever heard
of. It's the only foot remedy ever
made which acts on the principle of
drawing out all the poisonous exuda-
lions which cause sore feet. Powders
and other remedies merely clog up
the pores. TIZ cleans them out and
keeps them clean. 1t works right
off. You will feel better the very first
time it's used. Use it a week and
you can forget you ever had sore feet
There are a good many counterfeits
of TIz now being made by manufactur.

money by fooling people once. Don't
fall a victim. You'll have to get TIZ
afterwards and they know it, and you

deprived of one very essential require
ment, namely, an adequate supply of
ripe eggs for Matching purposes.
The immediate cause of the failure
of the shad and herring fisheries this
year is the diminished run of spawn.
ing fish into Chesapeake Bay from the
sea, and the enormous quantity of ap-
paratus among which a very limited
catch had to be divided Inasmuch as
the great bulk of the yield is taken in
salt water, the remnant that was able
to reach the spawning grounds III the
streams was insignificant and wholly
inadequate to maintain the supply.
The remote cause of the present con-
dition is excessive fishing in former
years, and the lack of even the min
imum amount of protection that is
demanded by regard for the most ele-
mentary principles of fishery conserva-
ton. Fish entering Chesapeake Bay
have to run through such a maze of
nets that the wonder is that any are
able to reach their spawning grounds
and deposit their eggs. The mouth
of every important shad and herring
stream in the Chesapeake Basin is lit.
orally clogged with nets that are set
for the special purpose of intercepting
every fish; whereas a proper regard
for the future welfare of the fisheries
/ and for the needs of the migrating
schools would cause the nets to be set
so as to insure the escape of a certain
proportion of the spawning fish.
Adequate protection of the fishes
is compatible with great freedom OF
fishery and with large and increasing
yield. A very slight curtailment OF
the catch-perhaps as little as 10 pei
cent in any given year-may be suffi
cent to perpetuate the species and re
suit in increased production in a few
years. To disregard a requirement sc
small and to permit the continuance
of an evil so serious, simply invites
and encourages the destruction of 6
most valuable food supply.

COST OF SAFE WATER SUPPLY

How communities OF any size may
protect life and health by providing
a pure water supply Is explained In
the last of a series OF articles by DR..
Allan Mclaughlin, Of the U. s. Pub
lie Health Service, in the August Po-
pular Mechanics Magazine. DR.. Nc
Laughlin specifies certain cities in
showing Just what safe water costs,
and from the estimates for these cities
the expense of installation and opera
tion for other localities may be deter
mined. In this article Doctor Nc
Laughlin shows that the nearest
source Of supply, properly purified, is
often better than the attempt TO bring
pure water from a distance. and that
community which gets pure water
as cheaply as $40 per million gallons
is getting off lightly compared with
many cities.
