CURIOUS WAY TO FISH.
Samoans Use a Cocoanut Leaf Chain
Half a Mile Iona.

Samoans Use a cocoanut Leaf Chain
Half a Mile Long.
A Samoan fishing bee is a unique
sight to witness. Cocoanut leaves are
gathered in abundance and secured,
doubled and tripled, end to end, to
form a long prickly chain, round In
appearance and about three feet in di-
ameter. These leaf chains are often
woven to a length of half a mile.
When the chain Is complete all the
men of that particular village turn out
en- masse with their "paopaos," OF Sa-
o canoes.
When the tide is high the chain is
stretched across some convenient
place, supported by natives in their pa
opaos or simply wading where the shal
lowness will permit. The cocoanut
seine is then submerged and slowly
forced shoreward, the prickly points
driving the fish before them. When
the point is reached where the chain
can rest upon the bottom and still pro
trude slightly from the water the ma
tives after securing the ends to the
beach retire and wait for the tide to
recede, leaving the fish high and dry.
1t is often found that large fish are
driven and caught in this manner, but
since they are capable of jumping the
barrier they are dispatched with spears
at once. The catches of fish thus
made are sometimes enormous and of
ten number thousands. Los Angeles

be held here next week beginning
Monday and continuing until Saturday.
During the last three days of the week

Gets Exclusive Contract to
Make All Ford
Tires
TO BUY PLANT OF
BURGER IRON WORKS
Biggest Addition Ever Made
to Akron Plant Now
Contemplated
TO BUY PLANT OF
BURGER IRON WORKS

Reports of tremendous addi-
tions to the Firestone plant to
take care of an exclusive tire
contract with the Ford Motor Co.
were confirmed by factory off,
Gals Monday.
The new additions will more
than double the present plant to
take care of an added output OF
tires estimated around $4,000 a
day.
Five new wings, each five stor-
ries high, and with approximately
the floor space of the present
plant, plus one new building now
projected to take care of single
style of tires are contemplated in
the Improvement.
This will be in addition to the
new annexes now being complet-
ed, which increased the present
floor space from 81 to 81 acres and
provides for an increase in output
from 1900 to 1900 tires daily.
Officials had no figures yet on
the cost of the new construction
or more than a very rough esti-
mate of the additional men to be
employed by the bigger plant.
There are now some 5000 men
employed in the factory and Of
fices.
The addition is the largest ever
made at one time by any Akron
plant and will have a far-reaching
effect on business in the city.
