THREE GIRLS ESCAPE
DETENTION HOUSE
Make Rope of Sheets, Lower
Themselves From Window
and Climb High Fence.

Making a rope of their bed sheets, down
which they clambered from their bed
room window to the ground, three girls,
inmates of the House of Detention of
the Court Aid Society, made their escape
from that institution at li0i Summer street
last night. After making their descent
of 90 feet through the darkness, feat
considered impossible for a girl, they
climbed over a siX-foot fence and We're
out Of sight before they were missed.
The girls had n start Of about an hour
before one Of the attendants, finding that
they were not in the reading room with
the other girls, made a search for them
and discovered the improvised rope dam
Cling from their window on the third
floor. Before the other girls had finished
their evening meal the fugtlves hurried
to their room on the third floor of the
dormtory and quickly cut the bed sheets
into strips and knotted them together.

Marvellous Machine, in Which Milk Cans Play An
Important Part, Promises Rich Reward
to Fishermen.
to Fishermen.

Much time has been wasted in the past
in the capturing Of fish. The hook line
and net, fishermen agree, don't bring suf-
ficicnt result in comparison with energy
expended. Lack Of proper facilities in
fish catching has caused bays, lakes,
oceans and rivers, especially the Della
ware River. to become ClOgGed with fish
of all kinds. And us they continue to
multiply In numbers, the situation is
serious.
Methods for remedyng conditions were
considered at a meeting Of the Executive
Committee Of the Fish Liars club in the
back room of Harvey g. McCarthy's
cigar store, This is one of the most
progressive organizations in Kensngton.
Exhaustive research made by its mem
bers In the past apprsed the world OF
the fact that certain sections of the Della
waro were more prolific for fishermen
than many of the rivers Of high-SOundng
names.
TO cope with the situation. 1t was
earned today that the committee had
invented a fish catching machine, which
pisCatological authorities assert will mark
Il new era in the hunt for the finny tribe.
The machine consists of n raft eight
feet three inches in length, TO which are
attached six l2-gallon milk cans. In the
bottom of each can Is placed siX-pound
block of common soap. The raft Is towed
to mldstream when the tide is going up
and then sunk by the weight Of the soap.
As the machine sinks gradually the eman-
ating bubbles and the attendant suction
attract fish of all kinds once they start
in the direction of the machine. follow
ing the trial of bubbles, they cannot turn
back and when they get within radius

of seven yards they are drawn swiftly
into the cans
\ subrascope attached to the front of
the machine or craft notifies the fisher
men, who follow In a rowboat, when each
can Is full while Il scaleometer operated
automatically prevents more than lfla
pounds of fish from occupying each can.
Water Is forced out of the cans by n
pump in the rowbout, which is connected
by n tube. The soap Is also transformed
into nm aqueous solution which leaves
residue of I've This asphyxlates any
fish which may endeavor to escape from
the cans
II those watching the subrascope can
not tell when each can Is filled TO lts
capacity. the melting soap acts as an
extra prcCauticn and the diminutIon or
weight causes the craft to rise to the
surface. 1t is then an easy matter to
unload the cans of fish into the rowboat,
rebait each can with soap and again sub
merge the machine.
on cloudy days as rule It's an easy
matter to catch 72 gallons of fish per
hour
The machine has been operated success
fully on the upper Delaware three times,
and according to Jim Harrison, chief
story-tellCr of the club, the Contrivance
is only in its infancy.
why not increase the size of the hy-
draulc subraScope?" he remarked today.
For instance If VIC made it have a
capacity of 100 cans VIC could catch 1900
gallons Of fish per hour. If we hshed 10
hours a day we could catch Il, 600 gallons
OF fish in days run. At this rate most
of the stream would then be navigable."
Harvey Mccarthy will put this PROPOSE
ton before the club at It's next meeting.

Some people say II is only passing
fancy. Others express faith in It's per-
manency, At any rate Phladelpha's lone
iitney bus continues to navigate its des-
tined course Is times a day with fun
cargo of riders. Meanwhile its operator,
e. w. Hambright, dreams about the lad
der of success I'm which he sees himself
stepping suddenly from the rung marked
''chauffeur" to that labeled manager"
From this vantage point he Will have
nothing more to do, he says, than direct
3 whole fiotilla of jitneys and count the
accumulated profits therefrom.
At the same time, while dreaming, he
IS working his little machine overtime in
a determined effort to educate conserva-
tive Pniladelphians up TO the latest
Western idea OF civic transportation
This is not so easy as it sounds. Like
all new enterprises, the very strangeness
of the novelty has got to be overcome.
Then, too, anything ridiculously cheap
appeals not to the Americans sense Of
economy. but to his sense of humor. At
any moment the shrinking, timId passen-
ger who has braved an unsettled public
opinion and boarded the little bus may be
subject TO the ribald jesting OF the small
boy on Broad street.
The confirmed 'jitneyites' there
are some already-know him. He is a
type and can be found in almost every
block. When the bus heaves into view
he stops I'm his tracks and from the pull
pit of the curbstone yells In a megaphone
voice, freighted with mockery and in
sult: "Yeas jitney." All the contempt
for anything that costs only cents is
hurled into those two words, Certainly
the p n. Tiff that company can be
said to have any real animosity toward
the jltney-cannot be regarded as so
potent an enemy as this ever-present
small boy and his contemptuous jibes.
on the other hand, whenever the jlt-
ney bus acquires a small boy as passen-
ger Hambright feels he has gained a
friend. This happened the other after
noon. Just as the bus came careening
