Only a few months ago the marital
equilibrium Of a New Jersey home
was disturbed by the fiat refusal Of a
husband to cat fried soup. although
the implication clearly before the
court was that It was a good sound
article Of soap and carefully fried by
the wife's own hands.
Now We have another ease Of New
Jersey domestic infclicity based on n
wifc's objections to enforced feeding
on electric light bulbs at the hands
Of Il husband.
1t is depressing to admit that even
the long sweet dream Of love should
he no more immune than other
dreams from dietetic disturbances. but
the New Jersey evidence seems all
that way.

SHARK SCREEN TO
PROTECT GRISWOLD GUESTS
But There Is Little Fear That Sharks
Will Come This Way.

Fathers from the Hotel GriswoId
and the cottage colony at Eastern
Point are to be protested from any
danger from stray sharks which might
come into Fishers Island Sound The
protection will be in the form of
screening of wire with which the
swimming beach will be enclosed.
E. G. Winchester, a member of the
ShenecOssett Bathing Beach company,
which owns the beach where the
guests of the GriswOld hotel and resi-
dents of the cottage colony at East
ern Point go in bathing, announced on
Saturday afternoon that the beach is
to be enclosed as q protection for the
swimmers against sharks. Piles are
to be driven around the bathing beach
and heavy wire screening stretched
around it, making an enclosure strong
enough to resist any possible invasion
by the biggest shark and one where
swimmers may battle without fear.
This precautiOn is to be taken to
safeguard the bathers, although Mr.
Winchester is Of the opinion that it is
not necessary. He feels that the pop
ulace is showing undue alarm over the
reports of sharks in the waters along
the Atlantic coast and he is confident
that there are no sharks in the vi
entity of New London. Mr.. Winches-
ter thinks that the reports have made
the people hysterical and that there is
