695-POUND TUNA CAPTURED
Monster Taken in Net Seven Miles OF
Block lslsnd-Mueh Larger
Than CALIFORNIA;.

Newport, Il. Flew people realize
that the coast adjacent to Rhode
Island boasts fish larger than those of
the shores of California. Such is the
case, however, and Capt. Hugh L..
WilIoughby, who has just returned
from a trip to Block island in his mo-
torboat Sea Otter, tells a reporter that
he weighed a monster tuna fish which
tipped the scales at Cos pounds.
Yes" said Captain Willoughby,
1--WE have an affidavit as to the weight
California's tuna fish never exceed 800
pounds"
The big fish was caught in n fisher
mans net about seven miles southeast
Of Block island and had to be speared
before being prepared for shipment to
New York. Meanwhile the fisherman
is trying to figure out whether the
price of the monster will pay to repair
his nets, which were torn to shreds in
the death struggle.
"As regards sharks said Captain
Willoughby, Il believe that there never
We're any two varieties, such as COM
mon and man-eating sharks.
"The menhaden fishing industry has
cleaned the waters of the food for the
sharks and they are hungry. Any
shark will eat human beings in this
state"

THIS OLD WOMAN MAKES HAY
Although Eighty-Four Years Old Mrs.
Nellie France Can Now and
Has a Fine Garden.

Cookeville, Tenn. - Mrs. Nellie
France, aged eighty-four, who lives
near Beaver Hill, moved hay last
week. "Aunt Nellie" enjoys remark
ably good health. She has a splendid
garden which she has made herself,
doing all of the hoeing.
While her hay was being moved she
went to the hay field and asked per-
mission to drive the mower, which was
being pulled by two large mules. Her
request being granted, she made sew
eral rouHds in the large hay field.
She did the work with steady nerve
and insisted upon driving longer, but
the overseer, fearing that she would
overexert herself, prevailed upon her
not to do so.
The day following, however, she
donned her sunbonnet and went back
to the hay field and raked all day.
She frequently rides horseback
from her home to Monterey, dis
tance Of eight miles.

MORE AIR IN GERMAN CARS
Coaches Under Certain
Conditions.

London.-"Anybody who has ever
fought for fresh air in a German rail
way carriage" writes a correspondent
in the Daily Mail, will be interested
to hear that, even amid the preocCupa-
tions of war, the authorities are maxi
ing an effort to solve so weighty ii
problem. The Berliner Tageblatt
learns that henceforth in a compart-
ment separated from other compart-
ments by a swinging door, windows
may be opened only if all the passen-
gers in the compartment consent.
"In other compartments any one
passenger has the right to demand the
opening Of window.
"These regulations are now printed
on the windows themselves, and it is
hoped that the violent arguments
which have hitherto resulted from at
tempts to let fresh air into sitting
compartments will be less frequent"
