The Potomac is now in better con-

The clearing-up process which has been
going on for several days, has carried
most of the mud down the river. and

Bass, rock, and yellow perch were
taken yesterday, along with the usual
crop OF catfish. These cats have been
the saving grace Of the irrepressible
fisherman who insisted on fishing during

sistently taken the bait regardless OF
how the river looked

BkLK AT RULE OF SECRECY

Washington, April 6.-Nine mem

Both sides contested determinedly,
Mr. Daniels advocates having the sup

New York, April "A private mes
sage received here on Thursday from
ST. Johns, N. F., says the steamer New
foundland was caught in blizzard
while sealing just south Of Belle Isle
strait and over one hundred of her
crew were frozen to death. The Red
Cross steamer Florizel picked up 90
men dead and dying after the New
foundland sank. The total loss of life
on the Newfoundland is about one
hundred and seventy. Steamers in
the vicinity picked up several bodies
and a few of the crew who had sur
vived on the ice foes to which they
escaped when their vessel went down
Fifty of the crew have been accounted
for in this manner. Most Of them
were dead when discovered and sever
al others we're dying
There is no news from the sealer
Southern Cross and this ship also is
supposed to be lost with all on board, ;"
says the message. IF so, the death
list on the two boats will exceed three
hundred.

By A NEEIN k{AII

This unique piece of apparatus will
give you and your friends an oppor-
tunity to determine which one de-
veloped the most arm muscle during
the summer vacation. 1t Is not as
complicated machine to make as the
kind you see at amusement parks and
Ialr grounds, and 1t requires only a
few pieces of wood for it's construc-
ton. You will be surprised to find
how quickly and easily you can put
one together
Figure 1 shows the homemade ma
chine in operation; Fig. is a large
detail of the completed machine, and
Fig. 8 shows details of the parts of
which it is made.
The beam A should be about 2
inches thick, inches wide and feet
long. A thinner piece than this can
be used, but one disadvantage in using
the thinner piece is that it is likely
to break when struck a heavy blow
upon it's end with the striking maui"
The posts B may be Of the same width
and thickness as beam A, or thinner
and wider, and should be about ii
inches long. Any pieces of board
about 6 inches wide and feet long
will do for the base crosspieces C.
Fasten the base crosspieces to the
lower ends Of upright posts B, at right
angles to them, using at least four
nails to make secure connections.
Then with 31a-inch or 4-inch nail,
